At first glance, Alcuin’s blog would seem to be some sort of parody. The blog’s slogan – “Promoting the Intellectual Renaissance of Western Patriarchy” – seems so over-the-top pretentious that even the smuggest of would-be intellectuals wouldn’t be able to post it with a straight face.
But if Alcuin is a troll, he’s a dedicated one, and one (at least based on my less-than-exhaustive survey of his blog) who never seems to break character. So I’m assuming he’s real. Which makes him a pompous ass with a lot of irritating ideas he’s somehow convinced himself are new and interesting. Take (please!) his recent post “Back Where They Belong.” And yes, “they” mean who you think, and “where they belong” means where you think.
Men should run the government, business, education, and religion. Women should stay at home. Young unmarried women can briefly work as kindergarten and elementary teachers, but there are no reasons why men can’t usually do this as well.
I’m not sure if Alcuin understands that women actually hold most of the jobs that currently exist, and that removing virtually all of them from the workplace would cause the economy to implode like, well, Alcuin, if you suddenly removed all of his idiocy. Also, how many kindergarten teachers do we really need?
As long as women run things, men will continue to be sidelined and slandered because feminism is a zero-sum movement.
Women … run things?
There can be no peace between the sexes until women are back where they belong. The sexes are meant to complement each other rather than compete and put one another down.
Yes, and the best way to show how the sexes “are meant to complement each other rather than … put one another down” is for one of the sexes to, er, put the other down by sending them back into the home.
Women have no business being lawyers, judges, educators, doctors, bureaucrats, writers, or religious leaders. Their attempted leadership in these areas, an illegitimate coup d’etat, is destroying our society.
I agree. Lady Pope is doing a terrible job of dealing with all those abuse cases!
Sadly, they prefer to enjoy their present situation, and let society rot, than go back where they belong and participate in building things again. Much like enjoying the concert on the sinking Titanic – though in this case, don’t expect chivalrous men to jump into the cold water so the ladies can have space on the lifeboats.
A little Titanic humor always enlivens a dull rant, eh?
Knock knock!
Who’s there!
An iceberg!
Damn, I guess we shouldn’t have kept going in zero visibility in a part of the ocean where icebergs had been recently sighted, in our ship that doesn’t have enough lifeboats for everyone!
I crack myself up sometimes. Back to Alcuin:
Feminism is a hate movement that brings out the worst in women.
Unlike the Men’s Rights movement, a hate movement that brings out the best in men!
It hates women because it hates femininity and motherhood, the chief characteristics of what it means to be a genuine woman. It brings out the worst in women by turning them into men, or trying to masculate them.
Damn you, feminism! Don’t go masculating those ladies! First they want to wear pants, and the next thing you know they’re growing ironic mustaches and using Axe Detailers instead of loofahs and subscribing to Bass Fishing Monthly.
It hates men because it blames everything on men, and regards masculinity in men to be evil. It emasculates men at the same time. Gays and, much more secondarily, manginas, are somewhat acceptable to the gynocracy, especially when the furniture needs moving or some bitch can’t pay her own bills.
Because when you need furniture moved, or some money, you call … the gays? Is this some new gay stereotype I’m not aware of? I mean, manginas, sure, manginas are furniture-movers and money-to-bitches conduits extraordinaire. That’s how they get access to pussy, after all.
But what’s the incentive for the gays? They don’t need pussy; they’d, presumably, prefer to spend their money on tiny dogs and gym memberships than on some bitch’s bills; and while gays may have strong opinions about where the furniture should go, are they really interested in carrying it there themselves?
Women generally use men, and feminism continues this grand tradition. A man’s value is defined according to his use to women. Deeper than that, feminism regards men in the same way that the Nazis regarded Jews – men are Untermensch and cannot be granted the same rights and privileges that women are.
And … now we’ve got Nazis.
Feminism aims to bring men down, as it is a zero-sum movement. It doesn’t simply aim to improve the lot of women through, for instance, education, but seeks to exclude men from education.
It does? Last I heard, colleges were actually lowering their standards in order to enroll more guys.
Thus the current propaganda about campus rape, and the attempt to make it easier to accuse a university male of rape in the USA. Thanks, government. You are, once again, the handmaiden of misandry.
And handmaidens are bad. Not like Shieldmaidens.
Feminist hate will never be satisfied, so men can’t keep avoiding the issue. We must avoid feminism as much as we can, and educate each other about it and about alternatives.
Generally it is advisable to actually know something about something before trying to “educating” other people about it.
This intellectual Renaissance of Western Patriarchy business is a lot trickier than you might think.
Societal Contract: High-IQ Asian WHAT? o.O Orientalism ahoy!
NWO: Judaism is both a faith and a race. You’re a moron.
owlslave you know nothing about
jewish peopleanything and have no business trying to tell uswhat we can and cannot be.anything.sorry.Fuck off.@Sharlculese:
FTFY.
Sorry, screen name fail. 🙁
@Sharculese
“owlslave you know nothing about jewish people and have no business trying to tell us what we can and cannot be. sorry.”
Apparently I know more than you. I wasn’t “born” to the Christian “race.” I seem to be savvy enough to differentiate between “race” and “faith,” how about you? What’s your race? Moslem, Jewish, Christian, Buddist, Confusious, athiest, maybe Wiccan?
On that note, I’ll leave you geniuses to your wiki-smarts,or maybe science daily, where opinion “is” science.
Judaism is both a religion and a race. Somebody whose mother is Jewish is considered Jewish no matter what he or she believes in.
If you want to hear Jewish jokes, seek out David Cross. He had a bit about asking a Rabbi if he can leave Judaism.
“David Cross: But I’m an atheist. How can I still be considered a Jew?
Rabbi: Let me ask you one question, you say this now, but, uh, was your mother’s vagina jewish?
David Cross: Yes.
Rabbi: Then you’re a Jew. I’m sorry. Nothing I can do for you.”
These are false analogies, quite simply because Jewishness is regarded differently from Christianness.

You’re wrong.
Again, NWO: Woody Allen, Jew or not?
I don’t think he goes to Temple.
NWO, there is definetly an ethnic (not racial, there is a difference) component to Jewishness, while there is no ethnic component to Christianity or Islam whatsoever. The lack of an ethnic component is precisely why those 2 religions seek to proselytize and convert, convert, convert everywhere across the globe on the scale that they do.
“I saw Mormon missionaries when I was in Japan. And I was in a place in Japan where foreigners never go–in the sticks. I was probably the first Caucasian person to visit the village where I lived. And I saw Mormon missionaries there. So, yeah, the Mormons get around–I’ll give them that.”
Did you know that Baptists go into Mexico to convert the Catholics?
Then after they leave the Jehova’s Witnesses go in to convert the newly converted Catholic Baptists to their faith? Then after that the Mormon’s go in to convert the newly minted Jehova’s Witnesses (previously known as Baptists who were previously known as Catholics)????
Those Mexicans must be really confused now.
@Nobinayamu
” A person can be culturally Jewish without practicing the religion, NWO. Don’t you consider yourself Catholic even though you think there’s too much emphasis placed on the Virgin Mary? Do you go to Mass? Confession?
Religion and culture and much more complicated than you’re capable of understanding. You’re overly reliant on false dichotomies and black and white thinking for this discussion.”
I’ve got to comment on this, usually when I say I’m leaving I leave but this is priceless.
You can’t be culturally “Jewish” because “Jewish” is a faith, You can’t be “culturally Christian, Moslem, Buddist…any “faith.” “Faith” is exactly that, it isn’t a culture, it isn’t a race, it is a faith. You either are, or you aren’t, of that faith.
First off, I don’t prescribe to any particular branch of Christianity. Second the catholic church is nothing but the cult of Mary. Rule #1, have no other gods before me, and the catholic church worships Mary. You do not have to take the holy host every year or burn in hell.
Most of the other branches have been equally perverted from within, with the teaching of having to accept Jesus as your savior. Since Jesus died for our sins, no one has to accept him as a savior. That “event,” has already taken place, so acceptance isn’t neccesary.
Maybe I’m a little further along in my “thinking” than you give me credit for.
Erm… NWO got kinda butthurt that I posted a video of ‘The Vatican Rag’ by Tom Lehrer, a well known satirist and all around awesome guy who might or might not be Jewish. And then NWO asked if he could tell Jewish jokes and it kinda snowballed.
“This exchange, where you talked about teaching chess and fishing and stuff is the only positive thing I’ve ever seen you mention, except for liking the show Monk”
I lol’d
Judaism is considered both a faith and an ethnicity, depending on the context.
Again, is Woody Allen Jewish: yes or no?
NWO, there is definetly an ethnic (not racial, there is a difference) component to Jewishness, while there is no ethnic component to Christianity or Islam whatsoever. The lack of an ethnic component is precisely why those 2 religions seek to proselytize and convert, convert, convert everywhere across the globe on the scale that they do.
There is such a thing as “culturally Muslim/Hindu/Jain/Buddhist/Christian” etc.
A person who does not neccessarily believe in the Koran or pray daily or go on Hajj or fast for Ramadan may STILL be culturally Muslim. That means that he or she was born into a Muslim family and observes some of the cultural markers of such, such as having a “muslim wedding” when and if they marry, or attending iftars in the evening (despite not having fasted), saying “salam” for goodbye or hello, etc.
Most of America is “culturally Christian” – schools let out for “the holidays” in late December, not in November for Diwali or May for Buddha Jayanti, now do they?
In the rest of the world this concept of “culturally X but not practicing X or even believing X” is pretty much an ingrained concept.
I have found only Americans to not “get it”. I wonder why that is?
No, NWO, your theology is just about as advanced as the rest of your thinking. But hey, you can insult all Catholics, but I can’t post a satiric song? Way to hustle those goalposts around!
You can totally be culturally part of a religion, NWOaf, but not believe in some – or any – of its major tenets. For example, lots of people consider themselves Catholic, go to mass on Christmas and Easter, and get their kids baptised out of a fuzzy sense of belonging even though they don’t really believe in the virgin birth or transubstantiation (really, the stupidest of Catholic doctrines – even when I believed in the rest of it I thought transubstantiation was absurd) or papal infallibility. Not to mention that the vast majority of North American Catholics do not come anywhere near to following church teachings on sex, abortion, or birth control. For a lot of people what religion they belong to is more about loyalty to their family and culture than adherence to a specific set of beliefs. That was the only thing I really regretted about losing my own faith – that sense of being a part of something really old that connected back through time.
Anyway, Judaism is more complicated than Catholicism because it is a faith, a culture, AND an ethnicity. And considering the history of ALL TIME EVER I can see why a Jewish person would feel strongly drawn to still consider themselves a Jew even if they lacked a belief in God.
But why am I explaining this to you? I could have a more productive conversation with Cleverbot.
Me: How can you tell if someone is Jewish?
CB: I can’t.
Me: Why not?
CB: Because I don’t know how to give a horoscope.
/rimshot
NWO: Jewish is two things, and they are linked. On the one hand it is a cultural and ethnic grouping, on the other it is a group of religious faiths.
One of the problems of the social isolation force on Jews, in the two thousand years of the post-Roman Diaspora is a larger than average group of harmful recessives (including, but not limited to Tay-Sachs, which is 100 percent fatal, usually before the age of two,always by the age of four).
That ethic aspect is what the Nazis based their anti-Jewish laws on. It didn’t matter if you were religious. It didn’t matter if, according to the laws of Judaism (born of a Jewish woman) one was Jewish. The Nazis ruled that being related, in the least degree, to any Jew was enough to make one Jewish, and possessed of no rights.
My children are probably going to be ethnically Jewish (my fiané is Jewish. Her family has Rabbi’s in it, she took a degree from the Jewish Theological Seminary). No one has ever so much asked if I was interested in converting.
Then again, what you know of Catholicism… not much better, but I’m only going to tilt at one of your windmills of ignorance tonight.
Care to explain why you got butthurt about Tom Lehrer making fun of Catholics (which every Catholic I’ve ever known… has laughed with until their sides hurt), when you spout lies about them and think that’s just fine?
“Maybe I’m a little further along in my “thinking” than you give me credit for.”
Not even close. All you’ve done is proven my point. You are lack, almost entirely the education and/or experiences and knowledge gained through non-superficial social interaction with people of different faith and cultures to understand what’s being discussed in any meaningful way. Religion and culture, and when pertinent ethnicity, are far too deeply intertwined for you to have anything but the shallowest understanding of what you’re talking about.
Got to bed.
yeah sorry, owlslave, you still dont understand what it means to be jewish. getting all huffy about it doesnt make what your were trying to say any less nonsensical and irrelevant. like if you dont understand the historical differences between judaism and christianity thats not something the rest of the world has to account for.
“’This exchange, where you talked about teaching chess and fishing and stuff is the only positive thing I’ve ever seen you mention, except for liking the show Monk’”
I lol’d”
Meh. It’s funny ’cause it’s sad.
kristin: I’d say Ex cathedra (which is the formal name for the doctrine of papal infallibility) is the most absurd (and abused) aspect of Catholic Doctrine. It’s one of the reasons I didn’t become a priest.
Transubstantiation isn’t such a big deal, if one accepts miracles at all. But infallibility was so bad the Pope’s theological advisors told him it was batshit crazy.
Pecunium: I dunno, I might go with… eh, can’t remember his name, but he declared that all cardinals were prices of the church and were thus granted status with temporal princes. Of course, given the sorry state of the nobility at the time, that wasn’t saying much, but still pretty ridiculous.
There was also the Borgia who declared a visibly pregnant Lucretia a virgin in order to annul one marriage in favor of a higher status one. In Saint Peter’s, no less.
Care to explain why you got butthurt about Tom Lehrer making fun of Catholics (which every Catholic I’ve ever known… has laughed with until their sides hurt), when you spout lies about them and think that’s just fine?
Because that’s all he’s got. He’s a Mountain of Butthurt.
It really says something about NWO’s general rhetorical level when you can get more sense out of a chatbot that can’t come within fifty feet of passing a Turing test. Hells, do we know if NWO could pass one?
