"heroin candies are a human right" - hypothetical toddler world
by Zig the N.g 26 Mar '20

26 Mar '20

So imagine trying to "talk a heroin addict toddler out of eating heroin candies".. According to the Amblin Memer, this is -almost- the world we live in, which he presents in the following incisive and cutting, intellectual argument: Giving Heroin to Toddlers http://dstormer6em3i4km.onion/giving-heroin-to-toddlers/ [very slutty pic, definitely NOT attached] .. You must understand this: men who defend slutty behavior in women are no different than people saying toddlers should have free choice of whether or not they eat heroin candies. These men are enablers. They do not care about fixing society, they do not care about helping women, they only care about serving women and doing the commands of women in order to get little pats on the head, as they hope that eventually a woman will take pity on them and reward them with sex. These men must also be shamed and humiliated, and called out as faggots whose minds and souls are dominated by women. Because they are lower than the sluts themselves. They are the ones making it possible for the sluts to behave like they do, and unlike the sluts, they are not even getting any benefits from this behavior. They are not getting pleasure. They are simply engaging in a masochistic exercise, due to the weakness of their character. ..

[Comics] [Marvel] [New Warriors] Still talking about the SJW...
by Cecilia Tanaka 25 Mar '20

25 Mar '20

I think everybody knows I am an old school nerd, who likes my comics, movies, series, books, anime, whatever, with good stories and interesting characters. This kind of stupid hypocrisy really makes me deeply sick. Sorry, "New Warriors" is very *offensive* in several ways, not "inclusive". <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PCWUCv1rnU> <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PzmQqq96bA> <https://youtu.be/c7VWTScVLr8> OK, we have overweight, women, men, non-binary, Black, White, and Latin heroes, probably at least one of them will be gay/lesbian and/or disabled too in the next editions, but we do NOT have good characters and - For Darwin' sake!!! - a good story to be told... (+_+)* Pardon, how can I respect heroes named "Safespace" and "Snowflake"?!?! :-/ My conclusion about this f_cking waste of time? >> 目がくさる ! >:( (Hey, and where are the Asians, uh? Hahahahaha!!! ;D) Ceci, feeling "vergonha alheia"... (Brazilian expression that means I am feeling very ashamed for someone or something, like these horrible SJW comics.)

A worthless costly unnecessary inefficient brutal layer of self preserving legacy, progress slowing, murder, shit, and theft overtop of humanity's natural ability and interest in voluntarily coming together to do things. Corona remediation could have been instantly crowdfunded 3 months ago, and well prepared for ahead of time. Propaganda is already way ahead pumping memes that crypto equals bad dudes in movies, from little clips of scary silkroad drugs to entire movies...
