  Woke Oscars cringe

  actors' acceptance speeches have often been a little dodgy - viewers don't care what political or social views actors may have, we typically appreciate actors acting well.. this year's oscars awards ceremony seems to be going above and beyond, however.. here's frances mcdormand's acceptance speech, in which she dedicates her victory to 'our wolf' and then howls like a bitch, lol.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-_be0awgwk.

  The Patriarchy Paradox

  ^^^ this is the title of a youtube video made by a teacher of 16 and 17 year old eton students.

  he made it as a study aid with the idea being that it would stimulate debate.. eton superiors told him to remove it from the lessons, which the teacher did.

  they then told him to remove it from his personal youtube account, which he refused.

  it will help the conversation if you give your opinion about what is wrong or right in the situation - first, I think the teacher could have deleted the footage of two cage fighters beating each other senseless. Students under 18 perhaps shouldn't see this.

  Also, I am unsure of the video's rape statistic claims and would expect those to be challenged.

  But that's about it. The video is well-referenced and a pretty good study aid for 16 and 17 year old students.
  

  Here are my thoughts on human patriarchy and its origins …

  The vast majority of social mammalian species have evolved to live in hierarchical groups. The spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta) has evolved to live in matriarchal clans, with the lowest-ranking female outranking the highest-ranking male. The gorilla (Gorilla gorilla) has evolved to live in patriarchal groups lead by a dominant male, the silverback. Given that there is continuity between Homo sapiens and non-human species, human patriarchy is an organic, cross-cultural phenomenon that has arisen due to evolution via natural selection.

  What this means is that moronic feminist demands to 'smash the patriarchy' and start from scratch simply will not work. We have ironed out many wrinkles (in the West, at least, women enjoy the same rights as men) but we can't turn society upside down and expect to thrive.
  

  What I found particularly interesting re Eton's reaction to this video is that Eton itself is an institute committed to the development of boys - it's an all-boys fee-paying school. Strange, then, that Eton should seemingly hate masculinity, lol.

  Here is the video in its entirety.

  Covid 19 True Infection Rate / Proof of Misinformation

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. current

  this is interesting.. you've probably heard of "asymptomatic spread" which is, people who are infected with the virus and are spreading it, but who have no symptoms.. but is it accurate?

  is it supported by the statistics?.

  this video analyses the facts and concludes that we've been given misinformation due to faulty testing.

  Good analysis from this professor, well explained.
  

  It's rather difficult to separate the spin from the data with the Covid pandemic.

  I still can't get my head around the fact that all deaths within 28 days of a positive test count as Covid deaths - these are still the official statistics, AFAIK.

  The UK government and SAGE don't seem to be intellectually honest when presenting and discussing Covid data.

  Do You Think White People Are Being Discriminated Against?

  some call it reverse discrimination.

  whatever you want to refer to as, in your opinion, are white people being unfairly picked on?

  it seems acceptable that if you are white you are viewed with disdain.

  What’s Your View On Self Defense?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if someone comes to you with a knife or a gun, would you defend yourself if you could?

  if someone tried to beat you up , would you physically engage, run away or just try to talk the person out of beating you up or robbing you?

  if you did have a gun to defend yourself would you shoot to kill or would you simply aim for the ankle to incapacitate the person?

  What’s Your View On Self Defense? - well, I've got to functional legs, so I would generally walk or run away if trouble started up in a public area.

  My own home is a different matter. I don't own a gun so if there was any serious trouble in my own home, I could use a knife.

  How long did people worship Zeus? Was it longer than Christianity's 2000 years? - I don't know.

  But the polytheism and sun-worship of the Egyptians lasted longer than Christianity's 2,000 years.

  If you want to fix the problem get to the root (cont'd) - what we have is a system that treats black people like children. It infantilises them.

  There's no incentive for the black father to stay with his wife/girlfriend because the woman will get welfare cheques. Thus, black families are dependent on government help. I can't remember the exact stats, but at the time of emancipation about 70% of black families were two-parent; today that figure is about 35%.

  So, that means approx. two thirds of black kids today in the US grow up in single-parent (typically the mother) families. Lack of a positive role model leads the kids into gangs, it teaches the kids to actively ignore authorities like teachers and cops, etc.

  Social welfare programs have destroyed the black family.

  Popular claims by establishment figures of 'systemic racism' also infantilises black people. How? - well it takes away any accountability on their part. Anything bad happens, a black person is unsuccessful at a job interview - that's 'systemic racism!', lol. Also, calling a society 'systemically racist' means society can't be fixed. An actual racist individual can be punished but vague claims of 'systemic racism' can't be fixed or improved. It's no surprise that BLM want to do away with current US society and replace it with some kinda wacked-out socialist utopia bullcrap.
  

  It's a mess and needs to be urgently addressed.

  Systemic racism is just a label, it has nothing to do with this issue. Sure, black people went to the bottom of society after slavery was abolished but how could it be anything else? And slavery itself isn't 'systemic racism'. All people of all colours bought and sold slaves. <--- know your history.
