Identity politics is easy to grasp. You just latch unto whatever side you resonate most with and go from there. It is crazy how American voters especially seem to be more concerned with identity politics over policy. Even just the appearance of policy.

I mean, Trump is not a permanent fixture. This will be his last term unless he coups the government I guess.

I don't like that it is a thing and I think it is unfair when it does happen but it is not as big of a deal as it tends to be portrayed as. Arguably, it is a symptom of society taking women more serious, as false allegations are nothing new. The problem is that there is no neat solution that I can see at least that also doesn't undermine real rape victims, which by far outnumber the amount of false allegations levied. If there is a viable solution then by all means but don't get all doomer over it, is what I'm saying. We can eat the cost as a society.

I'd like to keep my organs.

It is a tricky situation but there are many things that could ruin your life that are more likely to occur. You are unlikely to be falsely accused of rape in the first place. Counter-intuitively, by stigmatizing false accusations you risk discouraging vulnerable people from reporting real sexual crimes.

the whole debate around seems very similar to gun control, with people either for on the basis of some rationale or vehemently opposed to the point of making it an identity. It's so over the top with people calling themselves pitmommies and stuff and dismissing any concerns of pitbulls being potentially dangerous. What I don't get is the attachment? Why do certain Americans care so much about owning pitbulls of all dogs? Is it just this kind of counter-culture "don't tell me what to do" contrarianism? When some scary looking dog gets banned in a European country nobody complains except very eccentric people.

The main argument I see against ownership of "dangerous dogs" is that you don't need to own a dog that could potentially be dangerous due to its size and power for the same reason that elephants make bad pets. Most pet animals are smaller and weaker than humans for a reason. This is an argument I hardly see addressed by "pitmoms".

You have to put things into proper perspective though. More people are maimed and die in traffic accidents than there are men who's lives are ruined by a false allegation, but no one is saying that society is falling apart because of cars (unless you're Dutch). In a sense, it is a cost we've accepted because cars are that useful to us. False rape accusations only represent 2-10% of all accusations while overall accusations that lead to actual charges are rare. And that is before accounting that sex crime is overall highly under-reported. You could rape someone today and odds are you would get away with it. If you want to end false rape allegations then you have to solve the inherent difficulty of processing sex crime so it is less of a murky he-said-she-said affair. You would have to figure out a way to reliably extract hard evidence of a crime while also protect victims from negative social stipulations for reporting rape. Then it would be a matter of just presenting the evidence. But that is almost an impossible task. I can't find the source where I read that right now. Sorry.

Makes you appreciate Leo being a dick. Never meet your heroes.

Women are more likely to under-report sex-crimes than make false allegations. Legit rape reports hardly lead to any charges let alone false allegations. The majority of false accusations don't even name anyone. Don't blow things out of proportion.

America was founded on the idea of self-betterment. American exceptionalism, which conservatives tend to subscribe to, is all about America as a nation being a heroic endeavor to escape poverty and tyranny. Americans like to see themselves as heroes coupled with this kind of libertarian idea of the frontiersman wrenching success through hardship. That is what they mythologize. Much of their history is framed as heroic, like the revolution or WW2.

Your school teacher hates you.

The vast majority of stalking cases target young women 18-24. That it coincides when a woman is in her reproductive prime is telling.

"You've done DMT right?"

Leo is too niche to be useful to that end. Most will dismiss him as too radical or a cult leader. But I wouldn't be surprised if I was wrong. I think there is potentially a lot to be gained from a minority of people who would resonate with Leo if he where to gain more exposure and gain massive value, but only like 2-5% of people.

Most will just know him as the radical spiritual guy with the pedo logo and move on.

I feel like that people who cling to past glory, real or not, tend to be older alcoholic men.

It's funny, because for some countries the golden age mythos is kind of true, like with Mongolia. "We used to rule the world" but is now a backwater country of 3.5 million people.

This makes me think Leo has a legit shot at getting on the pod if he wanted to.

The problem is it is often very hard to prove for or against sexual crime by nature. The legal system just isn't well equipped to deal with rape. I think people tend be a bit puritanical in order to compensate. You have to be careful about making broad sweeping generalizations in the opposite direction because it delegitimizes victims in a he-said-she-said situation.

Good. You shouldn't have blind faith in anyone. Learnt that the hard way when I got conned into subscribing for a lousy course by Brett Jones ("old Leo" for those who remember). It was a rude awakening which was a big reason for me becoming more information savvy and critical.

I don't think you should use AI as a news source. It is better to paste and link articles.

You could always be more mixed I guess. If Neo-nazis don't understand genealogy then it makes sense that they perceive there to be such a thing racial purity. There is such a thing as ethnic homogeneity, which is more about identity than genetics. Arguably, racial purity is a backwards rationalization so it doesn't really matter if it's accurate or true in essence.

The irony of racial purity is that cross-breeding different ethnicities is actually slightly beneficial in terms of health and beauty.
