MGTOWs have a new woman to hate: the “soulless, scary,” non-virginal Meghan Markle

The “transvestigation” thing is hilarious. Yes, everyone who’s ever appeared on a TV screen is transgender. Like, turn on a football game. The football players? Transgender. The cheerleaders? Transgender. The coaches? Transgender. All the fans sitting in the bleachers? Every last one of them is transgender.

Did you ever show up in the background of a news story, passing by a person with a camera? Guess what, you’re transgender too now.

Over the past 20 years, the number of transgender people has risen, as has the number of webcams and CCTV cameras. And because correlation equals causation, that must mean that the cameras are making people trans. The old stories of cameras sucking out your souls are true, but they put in a soul of the opposite gender afterwards.

Did you think it was just a coincidence that “television” and “transvestite” share an abbreviation?

…okay, seriously, it was way too easy for me to reach into that conspiratorial mindset there. That probably isn’t healthy.

Incidentally, that “good or ill” dichotomy the monarchy represents is easily seen in my own avatar. The wreath of maple leaves was taken from the flags of the provincial Lieutenant Governors (the Wiki vectors are public domain). While the image recalls the reverent profile of the sovereign seen on the back of coinage, typically facing right, mine looks left with a mischievous grin, hair contained under a bandana with the collar of a leather jacket visible (more apparent in a larger rendering). I like to think it lampoons the symbols with a cheeky rebelliousness.

I also think back to my recent museum visits. On one hand, Mackenzie House honours a fiery rebel who directly took up arms against the newly-invested Queen’s representatives, while Colborne Lodge sits upon land a track of land “granted” to the city by an architect who set about building the city atop of land basically stolen from the Mississaugas and whose grave is protected by the fence that enclosed St. Paul’s Cathedral (a fence that he had to fetch from the bottom of the St. Lawrence after the ship carrying it ran aground.) I can only assume that John George Howard was a fan of Sir Christopher Wren.

Canada, a land of contrasts!

Nightflyer,

Can you please just use the comment box on the site instead of replying via email?

It makes your comments go out of sequence on the page and it messes up how the whole page loads, unfortunately.

Katamount: Actually, on Commonwealth coinage the monarchs alternate direction. The current Queen faces right; George VI faced left; Edward VIII should have faced right but wanted his good side featured—some people took this as a bad omen. George V faced left, Edward VII right, Victoria left, William IV right, George IV left, George III right, George II left, George I right, Anne left, William and Mary right, James VII and II left, Charles II right and Oliver Cromwell as Lord Protector faced left.

I somehow know this stuff despite being as staunch a republican as you’re ever likely to meet.

One thing we could perhaps adopt from the incels is their use of the term ‘ragefuel’; because this certainly qualifies…

Warning for usual victim blaming BS.

Regarding hierarchy, in a recent thread on the Lobstermen subReddit, someone made the observation that, in Western societies, competent people rise to the top where they can do the most good.*

Clearly that person has never met the Ford family of Toronto.

Speaking of the upcoming Ontario election, I looked up the NDP Candidate in my riding (Don Valley West) and… well… I’m not sure what to think. Her name is Amara Possian; I’ve seen a few signs of hers around, so clearly there’s some NDP support in the area. She has no website to speak of, just a handful of bullets on the Ontario NDP site and from what I gather, she’s a community organizer that’s basically been tossed into a hopeless race at the last minute by the party brass with no money or backing. Her Twitter indicates she was just put up by the NDP on May 15th (the day the campaign officially began).

She strikes me as a blood, sweat and tears activist and community organizer for a lot of great stuff, environmental concerns and affordable living foremost among them and as much as I’d love to cast a ballot for her, I just can’t see her overcoming the name recognition of Kathleen Wynne in the riding that contains the affluent neighbourhoods of Leaside and the Bridle Path. I gotta vote for the riding I know and I can’t see Thorncliffe overcoming the legions of upper-middle class voters stretching from Hogg’s Hollow all the way down to Davisville Village and Leaside. Despite Wynne being unpopular seemingly everywhere, she’s been a fixture in Don Valley West for more than a decade; the riding knows her and has clearly been comfortable with her.

*sigh* If this were any other riding…. I happen to like Wynne and if she has any faults, they’re shared with the structure of the Liberal Party as an entity too comfortable with neoliberal capitalism, but dammit if I don’t like her as a person. I can’t name a better Premier this province has had since Bill Davis and I doubt anyone else could either. Still, I’m tired of having to fight off Ford family crackpots all the damned time and needing to vote strategically just to keep them away from the levers of power.

@Katamount:

If Wynne has her own riding in the bag — or indeed, if the winner of your riding is a foregone conclusion in general — you should probably just vote your conscience.

@Surplus to Requirements – because Nightflyer replied by e-mail. Annoying isn’t it.

@Alan Robertshaw Currently my ragefuel gauge says I have a full tank. I blame Lobsters.

Another brick in The Wall.

Exactly what is it that women get “too old” for? Last I checked the stats and Psychology Today show that men are the ones growing lonely, isolated and sad as they age, not women. Even the Manosphere says women are able to ride the carousel their entire lives, and still find betas willing to wife ’em up at any age. So even according to them, there’s no wall, really.

I guess the wall is an imagined age at which the menzzz “feel” women should become sad and lonely and hopeless. So if men age like fine wine, why are these men bitter like prunes, even in their youth?

@Surplus

If Wynne has her own riding in the bag — or indeed, if the winner of your riding is a foregone conclusion in general — you should probably just vote your conscience.

That’s the problem; it isn’t a foregone conclusion either way. Wynne has recognition and incumbency, but this is a riding full of wealthy people either looking to the PCs to cut their taxes or they’ve deluded themselves into thinking the PC candidate in Don Valley West is the second coming of Bill Davis and has enough spine to stand up to DoFo (he isn’t and he doesn’t.)

God, I hate this election. It’s like everyone around me hasn’t learned shit from the disaster that was Rob Ford, as if it was his crack use that was the problem. That was certainly what made him a laughingstock, but it was his flagrant corruption, fiscal mismanagement and terrible transit policies that really put a dent in this city that still hasn’t been ironed out yet.

*sigh* Memory is both a blessing and a curse.

@Mish

Another great point! Brings to mind the Doors Open tour of last year when I toured Riverside. The neighbourhood initially cropped up around a nearby quarry, and the workers lived in these quaint little cottages on De Grassi Street (yes, the street from the TV show).

Oh my, that Daily Stormer article that Alan linked.

“Let me just go ahead and drop a bomb on you here: white men do not “prey” on women. They do not pursue women they are attracted to long-term who are not giving them some kind of signals that they have reciprocal feelings of attraction towards them. If he was pursuing her long-term, it was because she was giving him signals.”

WHAT A TRUTH BOMB!

So what kind of “signals” could she have been giving him?

“The effect of this behavior [leading men on] is multiplied to the nth degree by the fact that women now are allowed to wear absurd amounts of makeup and dress in revealing clothing in public – a direct form of sexual harassment of men.

…

The direct male analog to this situation would be if men were allowed to go around and simply pull up the dress of any woman they found attractive and start penetrating her. Then ejaculate, and walk away. And there was no law or social norm stopping them from doing it, and women were shamed and punished if they objected to it.

That would be a type of sexual utopia for men at the expense of women – in theory – correct?

Well, what we modern society has done is create a sexual utopia for women – at the expense of men.”

[bracketed mine]

Yes, that is why all women should be forced to wear full body coverings so that the men will not be tempted to violence, but not burkas, because we wouldn’t want to mistreat our women like the brown people do.

@Katamount:

If the Cons are competitive in your riding, then you should vote whichever of Lib or NDP has the better chance in that riding. Keep your eye on the polls — riding-specific ones if possible — up to election day, see which of them is ahead of which and has momentum. Keeping seats out of the hands of the Cons is a must.

@Mish, others:

If you are looking for a sense of permanency, of something that will outlast whatever foolishness humans are engaged in at the moment, what about nature? Old old trees, older hills and rivers. Sure it’s impermanent too, on long enough time scales, but there are trees some places that were already old when the Roman Empire was first rising, having maybe even first sprouted around the time the capstone was put on top of the Great Pyramid.

@Mish: Thank you.
