I‘ve been poking around on the Braincels subreddit, which is the subreddit that arose from the ashes of the original Incels subreddit, banned after many years of complaints for being so egregiously hateful it was starting to embarrass the site admins.
Braincels (get it?) isn’t quite as awful as its predecessor, so … congrats, I guess? But it’s still full of things like this, er, unique theory, which I found in a thread devoted to the proposition that “women are worse than Nazis.”
I had no idea the Spice Girls were into this sort of thing!
I know I’m a bad person for this, but there’s something a bit satisfactory about seeing the people who arguably tipped the election to Trump getting thanked for it with firings. If Comey and McCabe hadn’t decided to tank Hilary Clinton’s campaign, they wouldn’t be in this situation.
I mean Sessions is still scum obviously. And he’ll eventually get thanked by Trump with a firing too.
@weirwoodtreehugger: chief manatee
I guess that makes me a bad person for agreeing with you. They only have themselves to blame and basically got f’d over. How could they ever have predicted this /sarcasm oozing from the screen
I do have a modicum of sympathy for McCabe – dude was literally one day from retirement. Work all your life and lose your pension on the very last day? Harsh.
Not necessarily undeserved – we’ll see – and not something I’m gonna lose any sleep over, but considering it’s Trump as did the firing I’m assuming the timing is pure malice and revenge on the cowardly orange ones part.
@WWTH and Ooglyboggles: I really don’t think it makes you bad people for wishing poetical justice on the people who’ve been helping facilitate the catastrophically incompetent reign of the Cheeto. These people, and too many others to count, deserve worse than being fired for their part in this shit.
Hey, I’m a legbeard!
But I can assure you that I don’t have “incel genetics.” If I found out that I did, I’d have to set myself on fire.
A bit of good news I saw today:

I can explain the legbeard= female incel genetics connection. You see ignorant incels actually believe women’s legs are naturally hairless and that those of us sporting a full leg beard are hideous genetic throwbacks. They simply refuse to believe that stacie’s legs would be hairy too but for the invention of razors.
@ Tovius
Both good and dammit.
Good because yon arsehole needs to be nowhere near any sort of power.
Bad because someone registered as a Dem challenger (he was running unopposed) last night. Now their job’s going to be harder.
Literally, huh?
1. What program is this?
2. Enforced by what state?
3. Where do guns come in?
4. Where do you get your information from?
1. What program is this?
The program for girl powered eugenics, of course
2. Enforced by what state?
The state of confusion.
3. Where do guns come in?
The door.
4. Where do you get your information from?
The Assoication of Serious Student’s Female Activities Exchange. You’ve never heard of it. You need an invitation to join ASSFAX.
😛 I’m bored, can you tell?
@Shadowplay
Your answers are better thought out than any fdaffasafs might offer.
@Kat – still weak though
L’esprit de l’escalier has kicked in now. Confusion would have been funnier and more truthful as blind rage, and the guns one is weak as hell. Female should have been spelled Feeemale
😛
The fact that incels exist actually gives me faith in womanhood.
That such bitter, horrendous, women hating troglodytes should find it so hard to find a partner demonstrates that it is an utter myth that women prefer arseholes.
Long may they struggle.
Wait, isn’t that the sort of universe most of these guys *want*? Women asking to sleep with them, then going off to raise the kid on their own and never asking for child support or diaper-changing?
@The Real Cie
Don’t go all Arthur Jermyn on us. Think of your potential circus career!
😉
So, Trump is clearly moving towards attempting to kill the Mueller investigation

MoveOn is planning to hold immediate protests all over the country if it happens. Here is the info.

@Mooncustafer yeah, random women offering no strings attached sex is certainly what MRAs and friends want. I’m not sure about this James Connelly fellow, since his ideal world seemed to be the 1950s, when women apparently didn’t have abortions and there was no teen pregnancy. But his comments were often contradictory. He claimed to be an atheist at one point, yet kept going about “real marriage” and “real families” as if these were some sort of rules of the universe, and lauded Christianity.
I’m not clear what ‘enforced at gunpoint’ means. Like, if you try to rape them, people will point guns at you? The cops will point guns at you when they arrest you?
It reminds me of the thing hard-core Libertarians get into about how taxation is the seizure of your money ‘at gunpoint’. I could be wrong, but I’m not sure a lot of people have been shot for tax evasion.
You will refuse to believe this but when I went to Bank Austria to set up a deposit, the girl – intelligent girl – at the counter asked if I would impregnate her. She said she could get two years of full salary if she gave birth, and would not hold me accountable.
Because clearly the girl behind the counter at Bank Austria could not just go to a party or club, find a guy there and get pregnant on her down time.
She needs to ask a total stranger–a client at work (and something tells me that Bank Austria maybe frowns on sexual harassment of the clientele)–to knock her up so she can draw her salary and eat bonbons at home.
Off topic, but has anyone seen The Intercept article about Richard Spencer admitting antifa has made it impossible for him to speak on campuses any more?
@Shadowplay
I’ve discovered that there is no piece of writing that cannot be endlessly improved. #WhoHasThatKindofTime!
Podkayne Lives:
Indeed, it looks like “gunpoint” is mostly used as an over-dramatic metaphor for the general state authority.
State authority compels that women must have roughly equal chances at the job market. State authority compels taxpayers to pay unemployed people (incl. women) some unspecified welfare support. State authority compels that single mothers (or, generally, parents) must get some unspecified welfare support. State authority compels that men can’t just choose to not support the children they have with some ex-girlfriend.
Then there’s the general availability of contraception and abortion, and the widespread social acceptance of women having casual sex.
All this is supposedly wrong and unnatural, because there’s no financial/social incentive for women to be monogamous, and for mediocre-looking women to settle down early with some mediocre-looking man who maybe earns just enough to support a family.
I, for one, welcome the reign of our Fembot-overladies (That a word yet?)…
Totally OOC, our household refers to the Red Lady from Game of Thrones as “Misandry”…
Seems to work better in the original German: überdamen. Or is that überfrauen, or something? hmm …
@Surplus: I ain’t German, I just have an infatuation with a very specific political and cultural school of thought from there 😀
