More thoughts on the election from the Manosphere. These are from the comments section of Chateau Heartiste, in response to that little manifesto from Mark Minter we talked about the other day, and which Minter also posted at the Chateau.
Here John Salt suggests that “force” works better than voting. And, oh yeah, he’s also as racist as Hitler.
Here Sidewinder offers some “optimism” for the future:
You’ll notice that no one there voices opposition to any of these sentiments.
LOL LOL my only official connection with libraries was a failed attempt to study librarianship back in the early 80s, and I’m sad to say the word “dominatrix” was never mentioned in that context …
Though I did turn up to class one day in a cavalier outfit. With moustache.
Kitteh, I wish more people like you were librarians!
OKAY, when I said “all night” I didn’t take into account a sudden attack of exhaustion when the adrenaline wore off. G’Night all.
Cloudiah, speaking of your blog, someone made a video featuring those posters you/we/I did to help out the fellas at AVFM:
Pecunium:
There is also the Amarna period in Ancient Egypt, which (if my memory serves me correctly) predated the “People of the Book”. True, it didn’t last long and was unpopular to say the very least but it was a form of monotheism.
Nah, you really don’t. I’d be the Librarian from Hell, confiscating and probably trampling on all noise-making electronics (phones, earbuds, etc) and throwing noisy persons out. Think old-fashioned librarian on steroids. 😉
Niters!
ok this is my last post about my kitty, as i keep derailing…her name is Lola, named earlier this evening.
…she was a showgirl.
Aaaaand I just dated myself.
hellkell, you’re not as bad as me. I’m here singing “Whatever Lola wants…” How long has “Damn Yankees” been off Broadway again?
That’s an excellent name for a cat.
My little sister’s dad gave her a rabbit for christmas when she was about 4. She called the rabbit Lola. Her dad’s quite conservative, so I taught my sister all the words to Lola by the Kinks so she could sing it when she went to his house.
Lola is a great name. She looks like a Lola. And I am in no way biased by having a snake named Lola.
hellkell, your Lily has the same markings as our new girl, Shelby!

That was taken shortly after we brought her home several weeks ago and she wouldn’t come out from under the bed. Now she sleeps on the bed with us, eats like a horse, and plays like crazy with our 8-year-old cat Pooh Bear.
Shorter Patak: Blah blah Jews are responsible for every religious problem.
As though polytheists lived in perfect harmony and never had fights about which god was better.
@Seranvali: Yep, the good ol’ Amarna period, which the Ramessine pharaohs tried to obliterate after it ended. Poor ol’ King Tut, all forgotten for three thousand years. 🙁
I can’t remember the time frame of Exodus, but I think the movie The Ten Commandments insists Pharaoh is one of the Ramses.
As promised – kittens!

That Cheeto story was adorable. Your friend is a great guy.
Kittens! Yay for kittens! Those are great photos too.
BigMomma – Lola is a lovely name! (And now I’ve got El-oh-el-ay Lola playing in my head.)
Kim, sthlivingincolor, what gorgeous kitties!
So, my mother is temporarily in a convalescent home, recovering from surgery. While I was there tonight, I showed her all these kitten & cat photos and she was immensely cheered up. The tremendous healing power of the kittehs is proven once again!
Bow before the power of Kitteh Cuteness … and jokes aside, I’m glad they made your mum feel better, Cloudiah. Hope she recovers well.

“Um, no. No thank you. Please take your deranged self and your “will to power” to a nice little desert island where you can’t hurt anyone except yourselves. Maybe the Reddit Island people will be willing to sublet you some space.”
No. We aren’t going anywhere. If only we could stick Feminist on an island.
After all, being against men/patriarchy suits you. Mostly everything has been created by men, including the computer you type from (white men in fact). You want to be against “patriarchy and male privilege” well there is an Island.
P.S. Go fuck yourself. A
“And I also hope that they are aware that if they take up arms and start an actual WAR against women and minority groups, that said groups have the means and ability to defend themselves appropriately.”
Scary thought.
Yeah I wonder who would win.
“Many people who are not white, privileged heterosexual cis males have to live in a culture where they constantly have to assess if someone is going to try and assault and/or kill them at any given time.”
Yeah. We all know that you hate white people especially men. Yes America (I’m assuming), or if you were talking about Western Civilization was created by White Men. The Founding Fathers= White Men The original settlers and their descendants = White People.
You have been targeting White people and white men long enough scum with your hate..
Already Europe is waking up. 🙂 You better have a rock to hide under when the shit hits the Americas.
Fucking Loser: After all, being against men/patriarchy suits you. Mostly everything has been created by men, including the computer you type from (white men in fact).
Wrong.
Ada Lovelace. Grace Hopper.
Without them, the modern computer doesn’t exist.
Thank you for playing, but Losers get no Consolation Prizes here.

Women, and the men who aren’t MRA Douchenozzles. As a simple fact, there are a lot of women who have been in the Army. A number of them are combat vets (and I mean they were in firefights). They have practical training in something most people don’t.
It’s not shooting guns. Lots of people have that. It’s killing people. I knew how to shoot before I joined the Army. I came out of it quite different, because I was now a trained killer. It was a couple of years before that was put to any test; but I can say, with more certainty than most, that; push come to shove, I can kill people.
So to can a lot of women I know. Since the MRA is a fringe group; a fringe group which likes to blow smoke up its ass about how tough it is, about how innately superior its members are, they would lose, because there is no such thing as, “innate superiority” in combat. It’s all about training, and the will to battle; individually, and in groups. MRAs don’t have the training.
So you would lose. The same way The Order lost, or Quantrill’s Raiders. There is no seething mass ready to rise up and join you when you try to bring about your idea of, “The Day of the Rope”.
Sucks to be you.
