Do nofap.

I think Jonathan Haidt does good research on this. Basically he explains that looking at the data a lot of young people are developing some unhealthy attitudes and mentalities that result in things like cancel culture, call-out culture, etc. It is probably merging with stage green because this would have been the first solid green generation.

Here's his opinion on toxic masculinity. I don't think he's stage green, a lot of stage green actually hates him and used to protest his meetings.

When did I say it isn't? That is my whole point, Elliott goes through ideological phases. I'm saying this forum is being far too ideological and quick to put everyone into a category without considering his reasoning and development based on his personal life. I am also putting him into a category, but I'm not just looking at one video and saying he degraded and just stage blue because of toxic masculinity, and that is all there is too it.

WOw the analysis of this thread is weak. You are all way to ideological and quick to put people into categories without considering their underlying psychology individually. If any of you had been following Elliot you'd know he goes through phases. Prior to this Elliot had a feminism phase and said he was trying to become a woman. I believe that he struggled some after getting addicted to marijuana and injuring himself, so his new phase is most likely a backlash too that. Elliott trains a lot of men and young men in America are doing kind of poorly in a lot of areas so Elliott is likely disturbed by some things he's been seeing in his students and probably sees an explanation and an answer in this catholic conservative framework.

Where did he say this?

Stage Orange documentary critiquing stage green state transition that is picking up steam recently

stage red transitioning to early stage blue

Jimmy Dore runs a progressive youtube channel and has called for AOC and the squad of progressive democratic caucus to withhold their vote for Pelosi as speaker unless she forces a floor vote for Medicare for all. He argues that this would force the democrats to admit in advance if they are behind medicare for all, and if it passes the house would require the senate to strike it down during a pandemic. Brianha Joy Gray and Kyle Kulinsky have agreed and are supporting it and got #forcethevote trending on twitter. However AOC responded and basically said she isn't going to do it. In addition supporters of forcing the vote are lashing out at other progressives who are against it. This includes David Sirota, Benjamin Dixon, Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur who responded on twitter.

RSD Tyler says he is selling his last pickup program hot seat at home and this is the last day to get it. Has anyone else gotten it? Is it worth it?

Interesting stage green, stage blue/orange clash is going on. The justice system is rushing ahead the execution of 5 people and stage green people are demanding Trump grant them clemency but there is no sign of it. You can look up their names on twitter to see the value clashes. The pattern is usually a stage green person saying the execution is unjust and motivated by racism(for the males)/misogyny(for the female), and stage blue/orange people replying that it was just because of the crimes. Some examples: Details on 3 of the people and their alleged crime.

This is a police brutality debate between Daryl Davis and Dr. Michael Woods Jr. Daryl Davis is a musician who got hundreds of white supremacist's to leave their organizations and renounce racism. Dr. Michael Woods is a retired Baltimore police officer.

Well according to this survey men had an average of 7 one night stands, and women had an average of 6 one night stands. So not that different. And if anything I would assume men inflate their numbers and women shrink them. https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2017/06/157756/one-night-stand-casual-sex-facts

I don't think you'll like him anymore, he seems to have changed his views a lot recently.

Actually I think that is changing recently.
