So Stefan Molyneux is a slam poet now, apparently

@Lainy – That probably was quite a shock to your father!

I think people can be attractive to one another at any age, especially if they’re accepting of the physical changes we all go through (which Molyneux is clearly not). But the idea that all men age like a fine Chateau de Clooney is unrealistic and just as harmful as saying that women over 30 are past their expiration date.

The only reason the lonely cat lady trope is still around is because men like Molyneux think they can use it to scare young women into rushing into the arms of the nearest abuser. Life doesn’t guarantee anything, though. Even with kids it’s possible to wind up alone during your sunset years (and I would venture to guess that marrying an abuser substantially increases the chances that the kids will end up estranged from their father, and resenting their mother for not protecting them). Even without kids it’s possible to have people in your life who love you and have your back. Molyneux seems never to have heard of nieces, nephews, friends, co-workers, and neighbors.

I also love the way he says “Fact”, and then presents an opinion.

@Buttercup:

Meanwhile, middle-aged men can waltz on to Tindr at any time, select the 20-something woman of their choice, and have an instant family. Men never age, and they’re universally rich by age 60. Large numbers of 25 year old women on Tindr are willing to pretend to be turned on by back ailments and fiber supplements in exchange for that sweet, sweet cash.

@Lainy:

This time he said it I finally lost my temper and said back to him “no one looks good naked when their old dad. Tattoos or not no one wants to see you naked when your old”.

Me right now:

@Naglfar

I’m not denying the existence of antisemitism or the existence of hate crimes. I’m denying the fact that antisemitism and the level of hate crime committed toward the jewish community, at the very least the non-orthodox jewish community, has risen to the level of what could be called reasonnably “oppression”.

I think it’s wrongheaded to place Jewish Americans in the same boat then African Americans, non-white Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, people living in US territories or even women for that matter. The damage caused by antisemitic hatred doesn’t reflect on their position in our hierarchies.

It’s difficult for a group of people to claim they suffer from “cruel and unjust treatment and control”, the basic definition of oppression, when they occupy enviable position in society, perfectly comparable, if not even better, then that of the WASP majority.

In my opinion, discrimination becomes oppressive when a group starts to collectively suffer from lost of power and opportunities in a society due to its level of discrimination. This doesn’t seem to be the case at the moment for the vast majority Jewish Americans. Though I do believe they are increasingly more vulnerable to discrimination and hate crimes.

In addition, Jewish people can claim defenders and people to call out against antisemitism in both political parties of the US though, they can also claim that antisemtic politician exist in both party too. Neither party is interested pursuing an antisemitic agenda or in using antisemitic rethoric and the antisemitic beliefs for political gains or at least not in their official platform or foremost candidates. Neither party is more vulnerable to such temptation either and occasional lapses. This make the position the Jewish American relatively safe from partisan politics, unlike the groups mentionned above, if an unenviable position overall.

So in resumé, do Jewish American suffer from discrimination and hate crimes? Yes, they do. Are they oppressed? I don’t think so, but that’s just me though. What makes you say they are? I’m not opposed to change my mind.

enjoy those footloose mature years

Now I gotta cut loose
Footloose, kick off the Sunday shoes

@ Lainy, Moggie:

Still, it’s the best way to get the pool all to yourself….

Welcome to We Hunted The Mammoth! I recommend first checking out the welcome package if you haven’t already, as even though it hasn’t been updated in a while it is still a pretty good introduction to the world of WHTM.

My chihuahua

on a really hot August day.

An evil spiral

A blue bird’s wing

Nothing I understand

I’m brainless

What a shame when you assume
That the audience in your room
Is so slow, gaps so vast,
that unlike the past,
you choose to spread words out

What a fate to realize
Your audience is mostly guys
True to say, they’re in sync,
And they get that wink,
but something in me doubts

I don’t think you believe,
I don’t think you believe they’re listenin’
I don’t think you believe
In your words as they are

Taken chances before
And they’ve all left you sore
With that you reach out to the sky
And try to grab your shooting star

It’s all the same
There’s no more game
And you don’t even know what to do
You can’t see for the light
Shinin’ oh so bright
No wonder it hurts you
You came up from the dark
Thought you’d have a lark
But reality ain’t so kind
Seems you didn’t like
What you happened to find

Across the sky

Can you see the calls?

Like ribbons beyond

I’m elusive

Days are passing and time will tell
Just when the world has gone to hell
We’ll wake up, turn the page,
all while you just rage
Because it’s just not what you want

Look around you as you just go pale,
A breeze you take as a mighty gale
Not your fault, hear you whine
That we’re out of line
And our existence, you think, is a deliberate flaunt

And I guess you believe
And I guess you believe they understand
And I guess you believe
Your opinions are fact

Why you took to the ‘net
And got ready and set
Got your fingers all ready
And don’t know what you lack

It’s all the same
There’s no more game
And you don’t even know what to do
You can’t see for the light
Shinin’ oh so bright
No wonder it hurts you
You came up from the dark
Thought you’d have a lark
But reality ain’t so kind
Seems you didn’t like
What you happened to find

Think you’re beyond what’s right and wrong
But you just string yourself along
It’s really your fault, your time to waste
Even though you make your mistakes with haste
Another’s fault, know that’s not true,
No dignity left inside you,
You don’t know what’s real
You think it’s weak to feel

Another day

Like fresh bedsheets

Unknown to all

I am dreaming

It’s all the same
There’s no more game
And you don’t even know what to do
You can’t see for the light
Shinin’ oh so bright
No wonder it hurts you
You came up from the dark
Thought you’d have a lark
But reality ain’t so kind
Seems you didn’t like
What you happened to find

There was an old racist called Stephen
Whose tweets were in verse quite uneven
He said “Girls, get wed!
Or your future you’ll dread!”
That dreadful old racist called Stephen

@Buttercup Q. Skullpants

Molyneux seems never to have heard of… friends

Are you really surprised?

Hey wasn’t Ol’ Stefan Moldyneux the “If you don’t like your parents you can Divorce Them Forever and then join my doom cult” guy a few years back?

Boy howdy, sure is weird how he’s so VERY “pro family” now, I guess that ‘steal other people’s abused children and reprogram them to be your loyal minions’ thing didn’t work out so well for him?

@Weird Eddie
If he was a leftist, he seems to have had more in common with Skidmarxists like Aimee Therese than actual leftists. It seems he was violently misogynistic.
It seems like the him-being-a-leftist thing, if true, is totally irrelevant and is just some minor detail conservatives are harping on to distract attention from real issues.
