My wife is Latina and she definitely complains much more about this than Western women have. Machista behavior is too normalized.

Imagine getting paid to do it.

Classic Japanese. No dancing around or confusion about anti-semitism, just straight out asking the Israeli about recent war crimes.

Had the same as a Swiss guy living there: sure, everybody loves Roger Federer, but they also know about Nazi gold and the banking secret protecting dictatorships. And they just ask about it directly. Would never happen on Japanese topics though.

The guy ate the onion..

Thoughts and prayers? That's usually what happens when US school children die.

Wait.. why would they detain her let alone deport? She has legal residency.

US immigration was unreasonably harsh and unforgiving before, but paired with the possibility to send people to a concentration camp without due process makes this fact a lot more scary. Yeah, they could get you in serious trouble for minor mistakes, but they couldn't ruin or even take your life that easily before.

Lots of stuff. One has to do with modern feminism that has attempted to redefine the female gender role to become more independent and to adopt some traits that were traditionally masculine. This leaves some men clueless in their own identity, as traditional gender roles are a crutch for both women and men to kinda know their place in society. Now women refuse to fit their traditional role, so men have to redefine themselves too instead of relying on how it's been done in previous generations.

This cluelessness is frustrating and we've seen it pop up in different ways in the last decades. However with a more modern image of a woman manifesting, teens who have to figure out anyway who they are in society are affected more, especially young boys who are welcomed to society with no clear "default instructions" because the old gender role is demonized by a society that has largely accepted the new gender role for women, but is still clueless what men are.

Men may be the provider, but women now must be able to work too. Men could be more emotional and may take caregiver jobs, but women are considered better at them anyway and men are not trusted with kids or not taken seriously as caregivers. This is also not easy on women who now have children and need to care about a career. No wonder we have fewer children. And this also gets confusing for young men who go on dates, when they still need to pay for the bill at dates, their income still plays a role, even though women may make a lot of money (or even more than them) too now.

I hope this doesn't read as a rant, because I see feminism as a positive development even though I acknowledge the new challenges it provides.

Based on this background young, impressionable boys are sucked in by social media algorithms and confronted with the frustration and backlash of these men like Tate, that promote a return to the old gender roles. Many things he says could be something they said to your great granddad. Social media also leads to content and community bubbles, which are harder to penetrate for alternative ideas, so once you are "red pilled" you won't get off your track.

Additionally social media is not just content, it also publicizes and quantifies your social status and connections with followers and likes. Social status is hugely important for teens who are looking for their place in society. Even when you move, you don't have a chance to try again with a new group of mates: you still have your account and your status follows you everywhere. This increases the stakes and leads to more extreme behaviors.

I think that's all the reasons I can think off. Sorry it's so long.

It was so silly when the immigration officer asked me (at the origin, not the destination because they want to avoid to fly you back): "And what if John won't be there to pick you up at the airport?" Me: "I don't know man, take an Uber?"

It just doesn't make logical sense. The most "successful" social media accounts are always the shittiest. You'd think it would completely devalue what a "view" is worth, but I guess eyeballs are eyeballs. Then the whole click farm situation where you just buy engagement. A secondary market that just reminds you of the Ouroboro.

I think I'm missing something because somehow half of tech is funded by it.

"We taught them the wrong lessons."

This makes residency permits completely worthless. Greencard holders other visa holders can all just be randomly detained when traveling.

He's still in the toddler firetruck stage.

No.. they just have become more repressive and no longer tolerate being called out. This is a scary reaction for democracy for just a painting on a wall.

We will need less insane conservatives on our side to correct this big orange mistake, so let's not fuck him for the moment.

The eternal problem of activists: draw attention, but then direct it to your cause instead of your person. Not easy, especially for prominent ones and celebreties.

That's why you never pre-order. Never. Still never.

They literally have hormons to forget the worst of birth.

Taxes? Just ban them. If you can't park that shit, it's not allowed to drive. Same rules in cities in Japan: if you don't have a parking spot, you can't buy the car in the first place.

He already caused Israel attacking Iran in the first place:

1. Ripping up the existing nuclear deal with Iran. Giving Israel the excuse.
2. Emboldening Israel with cruel rhetoric against Palestinians himself. Allowing them to commit genocide freely.
3. Finally giving them a "yellow light" for the attack.

So he definitely does not deserve the nomination, but yeah, maybe he can be manipulated into backing off.
