I didn’t realize the GenZ misogyny until I was surrounded by a group verbally attacking me just because I had short hair

Quote
It's the Manosphere mentality.

Quote
It’s a much more prevalent issue here in Appalachia and other rural areas.  I argue with guys younger than me about everything from climate change to immigration now.

Quote
I’ve been teaching for 15 years. The young boys the last few years are horrifically misogynistic

Quote
and every guy always believes when he says something sexist it's "just a joke" and will either claim or think of himself as "a good guy" and refuse to do any self reflection or apologise to any women, and don't even bother thinking about therapy

Quote
Funny thing is all the guys I know who say the worst sexist **** have girlfriends and are married.

Quote
just wait until these Gen z creators are rising to power. If we last that long

I say it is they who should not be allowed to last that long.

Also unsalvageable False Leftist comment:

Quote
How did we fail to raise a generation of REAL men?

We did not. Patriarchists are the real men. Stop imagining a positive masculinity! No such thing exists! Are there ethical men? Sure! But their attitudes are identical to those of ethical women! Therefore their ethicality has nothing to do with their gender! The False Leftist tactic of accusing actually masculine men of being unmasculine on the grounds that they are unethical just makes those who use this tactic look stupid.

And then of course the patriarchist comment:

Quote
I’m a Gen Z msn. Damn right. What did liberalism of the last 60 years get us? The mess we are in.
We are done. Over it. Get ready. The walls that strong men built to safeguard this insane society are crumbling and women do not have the strength to rebuild.

The only thing we need to get ready to do is physically exterminate this guy and all who side with him.

Yet False Leftist Kulinski still says we shouldn't fight them physically? In which case the best we can do is temporarily hold them off until eventually they win again? No, if you want to improve the world, once you realize that inferior people cannot be made superior you start thinking about how to permanently eliminate them to leave only the superior people remaining. Otherwise you do not really want to improve the world.

But False Leftist Kulinski still refuses to conclude that those such as Walsh/Fuentes/etc. (who are of course not fascists, since the Roman Empire was not homophobic* whereas they are) must be physically exterminated (this is fascism).

As the empire was becoming Christianized in the 4th century, legal prohibitions against marriage between males began to appear.[154]
...
By the end of the 4th century, anally passive men under the Christian Empire were punished by burning.[221] "Death by sword" was the punishment for a "man coupling like a woman" under the Theodosian Code.[222] It is in the 6th century, under Justinian, that legal and moral discourse on male–male sex becomes distinctly Abrahamic:[223] all male–male sex, passive or active, no matter who the partners, was declared contrary to nature and punishable by death.[224] Male–male sex was pointed to as cause for God's wrath following a series of disasters around 542 and 559.[225]

A Teacher Is Going Viral For Talking About How Young Boys Are Facing Zero Pushback, And That Needs To Change

It does not. When the inferior do us the favour of displaying their inferiority, it makes it easier for us to see who needs to be prohibited from reproducing. If on the contrary we keep teaching the internally inferior how to outwardly mimic superiority, it only makes it harder to tell who needs to be prohibited from reproducing.

Quote
Among the many questions plaguing teachers today, most recently, I can't stop coming across one: What is going on with the boys?

They are masculine.

Quote
In a viral TikTok, which has over one million views and over 11,000 comments, Austin (@awillmakeit), a high school world history teacher from the south, urges that the behavior he sees from adolescent boys in his classroom has become increasingly troubling, and in the current climate without pushback or consequences, it's only going to get worse.

The only meaningful consequence is that they be prohibited from reproducing.

Quote
"As the last line of defense before these kids get into adulthood, I really do feel like a part of our job is making sure that these kids are socialized and that they are respectful of just being in public when they graduate," he continued.

No. Socialization is deception. It will not change who they actually are inside, but will only fool others into thinking they are less inferior than they actually are. So why do it?

Quote
Austin explained that his students make blatantly unfunny jokes where the "punchline" is just ****, death, murder, racism, or harm.

This reflects who they are inside. It is better to know this than to not know this.

Quote
"Like, that's the punchline," he said. "That's the purpose of the joke, is that, 'Isn't this a funny joke because it's racist, because it's about ****?

Yes. What does this tell us about the jokers?

Quote
Austin explained that in the classroom, boys aren't facing enough resistance for their extremely crude jokes and behavior, which only allows the behavior to continue.

Resistance would merely lead to concealment. Unconcealed inferiority is always preferable to concealed inferiority.

Quote
Austin continued, "Right now, we're not shaming these boys. We're not shaming them; they don't experience shame. They feel like they can do and say whatever they want."

When they feel comfortable to speak their mind, they save us the trouble of having to guess what they are thinking.

Quote
In the last part of his video, Austin reiterated that his message is really for other male teachers out there who have the opportunity to set an example for this generation of boys. "It is our responsibility to show them what being a man looks like, what being a man actually pertains to," he urged.

No, they are showing you what being a man looks like. They have the accurate understanding of what masculinity is about. You do not.

Quote
"It's us. It's you and me, bud. Like, me and you," he continued. "We have to be the ones to be in their face and go, 'You're being a bad person right now. You are choosing to be a bad person right now, and I don't know why you're choosing that."

I know why: because hey are racially inferior.

Quote
On Substack, Alice Evans, one of the leading researchers on the topic from Stanford University, wrote that social media bubbles have created "echo chambers of righteous resentment, channeling frustrations and zero-sum mentalities against [women] and foreigners."

Not all foreigners. (Do you know which foreigners are exempted?)

Quote
"There is a concerted effort by profit-motivated men to target young boys in online circles and convince them that 'being a man' means not caring or having feelings about anything, focusing only on themselves, and treating women like garbage."

Regardless of the profit motive, this is the accurate characterization of being a man. This is why only the inferior aspire to masculinity.

Quote
As a final remark, he told BuzzFeed, "I do not believe these boys are broken, I do not believe they are beyond reproach, but they are lost and it will help all of us to recognize that. Too many are giving up on them right now because the battle feels lost, but these boys are still growing and learning, and I do absolutely believe that the vast majority of them want to be good. We just have to be vigilant in reminding them what that looks like."

You are wrong. They are neither "broken" nor "lost". They are inferior, and it will help you to recognize that. You are the one who is lost by failing to do so. The battle does not feel lost at all. As I always say, enemies are always easier to deal with in plain sight than undercover. The problem is that you do not consider them to be your enemies. And no, they do not want to be good. They know perfectly well what being good looks like and have made an explicit decision to have nothing to do with it. The sooner you stop making excuses for them, the sooner we can start eliminating their bloodlines.

Competitive society resulting normalization of social bullying discrimination. Bulliers cannot be educated, because their personality are products of human evolution

Quote
However, some environments may emphasize competition more than others, resulting in the use of greater aggressive behaviors, such as bullying, to respond to the heightened competition.

...

Competitive behavior often takes the form of bullying. We know that this competition frequently occurs intrasexually, as individuals compete with and are aggressive towards peers whom they believe are important targets that they can beat in a conflict (Archer 2004; Veenstra et al. 2010).

...

For example, Sutton and Keogh (2000) found that students who had competitive attitudes also had pro-bullying attitudes. In comparison to nonbullies, bullies rated higher in a desire for social success and Machiavellianism, a trait associated with low Honesty-Humility and one that emphasizes how individual differences can relate to an adaptive fit with one’s environments (Lee and Ashton 2005).

...

Researchers explained that when students perceive only the best accomplishments to be rewarded with resources, success, and respect, with all other accomplishments associated with shame and failure, students will increase their competitive behavior to ensure a better chance of achieving the goals that are reinforced by the environment (Brady et al 1983; Warren et al. 2005).

...

For example, in cross-cultural studies, strong associations persist between Gini coefficients and the prevalence of bullying despite differences in culture, such that as income inequality increases, so does the rate of bullying (Due et al. 2009; Elgar et al. 2009, 2013). A similar pattern appears to exist in schools, such that more bullying is reported in economically diverse schools relative to schools in which students’ family income levels are more homogeneous (Menzer and Torney-Purta 2012). There are two possible reasons for this. First, greater levels of income inequality lead to greater levels of power imbalances in favor of wealthier students. A second possibility is that greater income inequality fosters greater competition for resources (Daly and Wilson 2010). Thus, it becomes more reward for bullies to gain status, as it can be associated with greater material/social gains than in a more egalitarian context (Wilkinson 2004).

...

That said, there is no evidence that bullying rates have decreased within the last 20 years, suggesting that the recent focus on bullying has done little to reduce actual levels of bullying (Berger 2007). We suggest that this may be due to the fact that bullying is, in part, an evolutionary adaptation that occurs “naturally” amongst most adolescents.

...

It was hypothesised that bullying behaviour and pro-bullying attitudes would be associated with socially competitive attitudes in the classroom, Machiavellianism, and the personality constructs of Psychoticism and Extraversion.

...

Finally, bullying behaviour and attitudes can also be related to personality. Slee and Rigby (1993) found the tendency to bully to be positively associated with P (Psychoticism), while the tendency to be victimised was negatively associated with Extraversion (E).

...

Anti-bullying policies in schools may well have increased children’ s knowledge and awareness of the problem, but this is of limited value in the absence of action.Menesini et al. (1997) found that children’ s perception of the problem of bullying was not necessarily translated into intervention on behalf of the victim, and schools need to try to encourage behavioural interventions to complement stated anti-bullying feeling.

Western Civilization, civilization which normalize and legalize competition into the norms

Quote
The beginning of Europe’s ascendancy has been dated from many points: the Industrial Revolution, the modern world capitalist system, the Renaissance. There is a strong consensus that the rise of Europe should be sought no earlier than the Middle Ages, although some still connect it back to Athens. For Hegel, however, the question was less Europe’s ascendancy than its uniqueness, which he attributed to its autonomous capacity for free reflection, a capacity which, in his view, had descended from the Greeks, and which therefore required for its explanation a consideration of the origins of Greek uniqueness.

To this day no one knows how to account for the origins of the “Greek miracle”. In stark contrast to the numerous explanations which have been offered on all the other major revolutionary transformations of Europe, no strong or consensual argument has yet been produced in response to why ancient Greece “discovered the mind,” discovered the method of causal science, invented the literary form of tragedy, prose writing, and tapped into the progressive spirit of critical reason. Many classicists have offered no more than tautological explanations in which the explanandum reappears in the explanans: “Greek philosophy grew out of an exclusive national culture and is the legitimate offspring of the Greek spirit” (Windelband 1956: 3); “Greek philosophy has a good claim to be regarded as the most original and influential achievement of the Greek genius” (Luce 1992: 9).

One influential but rather question-begging explanation is that Ionia, the birth place of Greek natural philosophy, located in coastal areas of present-day Turkey, was dotted by mercantile city-states that looked favorably upon innovation, criticism and individual expression. The worlds of Assyria, Babylonia, Persia, and Phoenicia, however, were similarly cosmopolitan, urbane, and commercial. Some have added that a community of rational inquiry was made possible by the emergence in Ionia, and in Greece at large, of a unique institution, the polis. It has been argued that the polis, by being a free political institution in which all male citizens were free to participate in the affairs of their city, promoted a culture characterized by reasoned discourse and debate, adversarial viewpoints, and a disposition for seeking out the truth on rational grounds. This idea is summed-up well by Randall Collins:

The key feature of this situation was the competition that resulted owing to the presence of many intellectuals selling their wares to the public. Because they were free intellectual entrepreneurs, not taking orders in a priestly or government hierarchy, there was no built-in-bias towards maintaining tradition. Competition with others meant intellectuals had to develop new ideas and improve them against rivals’ criticism.During the time when the city-states flourished, there was an unparalleled situation of free intellectual community with many markets to exploit; the result was a period of vigor, which subsequent history has regarded as a Golden Age. The roots of modern philosophy and science are found in this period; here, too, we find the beginnings of social science (1994: 6–7).

But why did Ionia-Greece see the rise of a freely-organized political community in the first place – and not the more advanced civilizations of the Near East, or, for that matter, the Sumerian city states which dominated the Mesopotamian landscape around 2500 BC? Collins simply answers in passing that the “Greeks retained the crude democracy of tribal war coalitions” in their city-states (6). The problem here is that all civilized cultures and cities came originally from tribal backgrounds and tribal “democracies.” Was there anything unique to the tribal organization of the Greek city states? I shall argue that there was. But let us continue, for now, with the existing lines of investigation.

McClellan and Dorn have tried an explanation which points to the geographical distinctiveness of Greece. They argue that the mountainous ecology of Greece, which compartmentalized the land into separate valleys, encouraged the rise of small independent city-states. They also contrast Greece’s rainfall farming to the great rivers and large flood plains of the East. They observe that the former promoted decentralized economic activities whereas the latter promoted hydraulic agriculture and monarchical administrations (1999: 55–59).23

The incompleteness of this explanation is that it presumes that the “competitiveness” evoked by the presence of hundreds of city-states produced, on its own, a republican government of citizen-soldiers. It presumes as well that the mere existence of independent city-states and citizen-soldiers cultivated an ethos of free discourse and “a new sort of science” devoted to the pursuit of “theoretical knowledge”. McClellan and Dorn are seemingly aware that something is missing in their explanation, concluding that “it may be impossible to reach an understanding of exactly why a new scientific culture came into being in the unique habitat of Hellas” (57).24

What Hegel suggests to me, albeit in a very general way, is that there were already in Greece – before the polis – characters unwilling to submit to despotic rule. I will explain below what I mean by these characters. But in anticipation of this historically based argument that I intend to elaborate in the next chapter, let me state for now that the polis was created by a pre-existing aristocratic culture whose values were physical prowess, courage, fierce protection of one’s family, friends, and property, and above all, one’s personal honor and reputation. The polis grew out of a peculiar social landscape of tribal republics in which individual rivalry for prestige and victory had the highest value, and in which hatred of monarchical government was the norm. Before citizenship was expanded to include independent farmers and hoplite soldiers, the Greek mainland was dominated by a warrior aristocracy. This expansive and aggressive aristocracy was the original persona of Western civilization.

Opinion: The unintended effect of the anti-Israel protests
...
Here’s a secret that many of the protesters in university encampments and on city streets don’t seem to be in on: The more they demonize Israel, the more they reawaken Jewish identity and strengthen Zionism.

Of course we are in on it! That's the point: to expose how tribalist Jews actually are.

Quote
every day since October 7, I have also seen how this rise in antisemitism and anti-Zionist rhetoric is inspiring Jewish pride and solidarity with Israel among so many young Jews.

This is the best evidence of Jewish inferiority.

Quote
Multiple Jewish university students have told me they have endured a sort of social “canceling” for expressing empathy for Israelis. One was ousted from her sorority for being a Zionist, another was told that being a Zionist made others have to self-censor so they stopped including him in events.

If they were not inferior, they would not have empathy for Israelis. They do because they are.

Quote
They are rediscovering the millenia-old Jewish rituals and community structures that nourish belonging. And they are rediscovering Zionism.
...
for most of us American Jews, Zionism is the belief that Jews have a right to self-determination in their historical homeland.

Which you also stole the first time, even according to your own Tanakh!

Israel’s experience is distinct, he said, because of Judaism’s biblical ties to its land

Translation: “Because we stole the land the first time, we should be allowed to steal it a second time.”

Back to enemy article:

Quote
I see this vision resonating with young Jews who never would have thought of themselves as Zionists before.
...
Too many anti-Israel protesters have waved flags of terrorist groups sworn to kill Jews like Hezbollah and Hamas, or recycled medieval canards accusing Israel of blood libel. Too many have used chants like “there is only one solution: intifada revolution,” awakening in Jews two nightmarish memories: Hitler’s final solution and the Palestinian intifadas

Why not simply voluntarily refrain from reproducing? If I were the offspring of Jewish parents, that would definitely be my minimum response to witnessing Jewish behaviour. That actual offspring of Jewish parents are not so responding proves their own Jewishness.

Quote
When a UC Santa Barbara Jewish student leader is told “Zionists not welcome,” when an encampment at UCLA blocks Jewish students from getting to class, when a campus leader at Columbia goes so far as to say that Zionists don’t deserve to live, that pushes young Jews to question the direction America is heading in.

Why does the above not push young Jews to question the direction Israel is heading in? Answer: because they are Jews.

Quote
After all, though many protesters want to make a distinction between Jews and Zionists — to say that their hostility to Israel doesn’t mean they are hostile to Jews — the reality is that American Jews overwhelmingly identify with Israel. The latest Pew study on Jewish Americans shows that for 82% of US Jews, caring about israel is an important or essential part of what being Jewish means to them. It is therefore understandable that overwhelming numbers of us Jews feel threatened by crowds shouting anti-Zionist slogans.

Are False Leftist protestors paying attention to the part in bold? Hostility to Israel should mean hostility to Jews. If you are hostile to Israel without being hostile to Jews, you are DOING IT WRONG. Israel exists only because Jews exist. Without Jews, there would have been no Israel (either ancient or modern).

(As for the other 18%, are they voluntarily refraining from reproducing? If not, I do not take them seriously.)

Quote
Of course, some protesters don’t even pretend there’s a distinction. Visibly Jewish university students I’ve talked to have been told that “Hitler should have finished the job”

Thank you for acknowledging True Leftism.

Quote
As a Jewish educator, I see this moment as a bittersweet opportunity. Antisemitism might be on the rise, but so is Jewish identity.

And thank you for agreeing that Jews cannot learn to not be Jews. And therefore that there is only one way to achieve a world without Jews, namely eliminating Jewish bloodlines.

Bullying tends to be perpetrated by the extrovert-type of people. And they cannot be taught not to be bully

Quote
We recruited 1,631 middle and high school students to explore the relationship between personality traits and school bullying, and the moderated and mediating roles of self-concept and loneliness on this relationship. Results showed that (1) neuroticism had a significant positive predictive effect on being bullied, extroversion had a significant negative predictive effect on being bullied, and agreeableness had a significant negative predictive effect on bullying/being bullied; (2) loneliness played a mediating role between neuroticism and bullied behaviors, extroversion and bullying behaviors, and agreeableness and bullying/bullied behaviors; (3) self-concept played a moderating role on the mediation pathway of loneliness on neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness and bullying behaviors. Therefore, to reduce the frequency of school bullying among adolescents, we should not only reduce their levels of loneliness but also improve their levels of self-concept.

...

Second, the results showed that self-concept played a moderating role in the mediating effect of loneliness on the relationship between extroversion and being bullied. In our study, extroversion was significantly negatively related to bullying, showing that more introverted teenagers are more vulnerable to being bullied. Zhou et al. (2008)

...

However, some studies indicate that existing educational interventions had a very small to zero effect size on traditional bullying and cyberbullying perpetration. More research is needed to identify the key moderators that enhance educational programs and to develop alternative forms of anti-bullying interventions (Ng et al., 2020).

We must know which civilization that respect and normalize extroverts

Quote
Susan Cain, author of the book Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking, argues that modern Western culture misjudges the capabilities of introverted people, leading to a waste of talent, energy, and happiness.[20] Cain describes how society is biased against introverts, and that, with people being taught from childhood that to be sociable is to be happy, introversion is now considered "somewhere between a disappointment and pathology".

Human political and behavioural attitudes are biology and hereditary by nature, not result from education

Quote
...personality endures and is highly heritable. The heritability of personality means that much of the variation in personality across individuals is rooted in biology (e.g., Riemann, Angleitner, & Strelau, 1997). To a large extent we are born with the tendency to be extraverted, to be conscientious, and so on.

...

In 2005, political scientists’ views on these matters received a jolt when Alford, Funk, and Hibbing (2005) showed that political ideology is highly heritable—that is, that 50% or more of the variation across individuals in ideology stems from biological differences. This finding implies that young adults do not enter the political world as blank slates, but instead carry with them relatively intransient predispositions about that world, and especially predispositions to be ideologically liberal or conservative.

...

The sample is derived from the Mid Atlantic Twin Registry (MATR) based on a survey conducted in the late 1980s, dubbed the Virginia 30,000. Approximately 40% of the sample was recruited from the larger Virginia area, and the remaining were solicited through a national AARP mailer. At the time, both groups favored slightly more conservative political attitudes. The sample contains 28,877 individuals who are all familial relatives of the core population of roughly 12,000 twins. For more detail on the sample structure, ascertainment, and questionnaire, see Eaves et al. (1999).

...

The fact that both personality traits and political attitudes have nontrivial genetic components and that the genetic variance in attitudes remains largely independent suggests an alternative hypothesis: a latent genetic trait mutually influences both personality and attitudes. This view is more consistent with a modern understanding of genetics: there are no specific genes for a given political attitude or personality trait. Genes encode protein messengers that execute a series of physiological processes culminating in behaviors, personality traits, and attitudes in conjunction with environmental stimuli.

...

...P is positively correlated with tough-mindedness, risk-taking, sensation-seeking, impulsivity, and authoritarianism (Adorno et al. 1950; Altemeyer 1996; Eysenck and Eysenck 1985, McCourt et al. 1999). In social situations, those who score high on P are more uncooperative, hostile, troublesome, and socially withdrawn, but lack feelings of inferiority and have an absence of anxiety. At the extremes, those scoring high on P are manipulative, tough-minded, and practical (Eysenck 1954). By contrast, people low on P are more likely to be more altruistic, well socialized, empathic, and conventional (Eysenck and Eysenck 1985; Howarth 1986). As such, we expect higher P scores to be related to more conservative political attitudes, particularly for militarism and social conservatism.

"Bullying is democratic by nature"

This is inaccurate. Bullies do not ask for a vote on whether someone should be bullied. Please do not use the term "democratic" to describe unrelated phenomena. It just makes us sound stupid.

We are currently in the 13th annual National Bullying Prevention Month campaign, initiated in 2006 by PACER. The purpose of the yearly month-long campaign is, of course, to prevent bullying. While these annual campaigns have certainly enhanced awareness of bullying and the need to prevent it, as well as fueled the growth of the multi-billion dollar anti-bullying industry, it has made little progress in creating a world that is safe from bullying. Bullying is still called a growing epidemic by bullying prevention organizations, bullying-driven school shootings still occur with tragic frequency, and the youth suicide rate, which is somewhat correlated to bullying, has surged.

Furthermore, studies have shown repeatedly that the most highly regarded bullying prevention programs rarely produce more than a minor reduction in bullying and often result in an increase. The same is true of state anti-bullying laws. The researchers, especially those who conduct studies on their own programs, are stymied by the disappointing results, and proffer explanations. Perhaps their most common one is that the programs were not implemented with sufficient consistency or intensity. Rarely, if ever, do the researchers consider the possibility that the programs, by their very nature, are bound to be of limited effectiveness.

...

Bullies frequently carry out their aggression before an audience of peers, and the presence of an audience can boost a bully’s sense of power. But bystanders seldom stop the aggression; they may in fact enjoy the spectacle. Even if they don’t approve of the situation, they may dislike the victim or fear retaliation by the bully.

...

As at Camp Kern, most of the time bystanders either do nothing to stop bullying or actively encourage it with laughing, taunts, and congratulatory “high fives” to the victimizers. Studies of schoolchildren show that although few admit to enjoying the spectacle of bullying, many say that “it is not my job to stop it,” or fear direct retribution if they intervene, or later peer scorn as a “snitch” if they report bullying to adults.

And with good reason: Once, when I did muster the courage to report abuse by high school classmates during gym period, the gym teacher, who was one of the football coaches, snorted, “I hate whiners,” and made me lean against the wall as punishment, nose first, in front of the girls’ gym class.

Kids quickly learn that adults — like their fellow bystanders — often blame the victim, so they prudently do nothing to stop bullying while it’s occurring and keep quiet about it afterward.

The conclusion is, that to stop bullies must defeat the bullies, even though the majority of bystanders support the bullies both actively and passively. Ending violence needs anti-democratic attitude

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training is divisive and counter-productive and can even serve to increase prejudice among participants, a new study by a Canadian professor says.
...
In 2018, Harvard sociologist Frank Dobbin and colleague Alexandra Kalev published “Why Doesn’t Diversity Training Work? The Challenge for Industry and Academia” in the journal Anthropology Now.

“Hundreds of studies dating back to the 1930s suggest that anti-bias training doesn’t reduce bias, alter behaviour or change the workplace,” the authors wrote. “Field and laboratory studies find that asking people to suppress stereotypes tends to reinforce them–making them more cognitively accessible to people.”

As far back as 1994, Neil Macrae at UK-based University of Aberdeen and fellow researchers wrote in a paper for
a social psychology journal that the strategy of repressing stereotypic thoughts can have a “rebound effect.”

“When people attempt to suppress unwanted thoughts, these thoughts are likely to subsequently reappear with even greater insistence than if they had never been suppressed,” they wrote.
