You just can't stop lying can you. I respond to them linking that post and asked what their point was? Because it's completely irrelevant to the discussion. They have so far not responded. But you don't bother with being honest you just assume it's relevant. And then also completely make up I was bragging about my partner's conventional beauty. A complete fabrication. When I made that post, I had no partner.

I made statement where I enjoy women for all their qualities and successes and Independence, and yes also I really enjoy sex with them and that includes giving them pleasure. Enjoy giving a partner pleasure is actually healthy, and it's okay to say so. It's actually quite well known that men often orgasm much easier than women, and that a lot of men can be pretty selfish lovers. Criticizing me for enjoying being an unselfish lover is just fucking strange. It's okay to talk about sex in healthy ways, maybe talk about that with your therapist.

The fact you're trying to turn that around into something else is kind of weird, especially since you're lying about everything else.
- Comments on women's attractiveness
- Posts their photos without consent onto a public forum with tens of thousands of users
- Discussed how the woman in question did not meet his personal requirements
- Defended their posting of their photos as 'legal' despite a history of men doxxing and harassing women in spaces like this
- Takes opportunities to mention his supposed skills in bed in completely inappropriate places (like a f'ing politics board)

Do I need to go on? Should I continue digging into your posting history? I am guessing you still won't get it, guys like you need a lot of work. In my experience, men who behave like you are generally sex pests, or 'nice guys' who like to talk about how unselfish they are but then get bitter about rejection.

Whatever you are, you are not an ally or anything close to it, you are a guy who is a legend in your own mind but who women likely warn each other about. At the very least, you are entirely classless.

As I stated in an earlier post I had to edit because of a mistake I think I made, I don’t take too seriously statements that are just enunciated without argument, attempted truth, etc. as fact or effectively changing my opinion. I just want to say only that. I am not asking you prove he’s a Nazi nor am I denying it.

I watched a number of Peterson videos and found his criticism of young conservative men and he expressed great fidelity to how I see them. I also thought his practical suggestions for improving their self respect to have merit. I also liked that he had sympathy and was willing to devote his time and attention to people liberals dismiss, ignore or go psycho over our of self righteous disgust. I find their plight to be sad. Not that I wouldn’t shoot one in some far fetched scenario when ere I had that only option to prevent one of them about to do immediate harm to another person.

There may also be things about myself that harmonize with fascist thinking. I prefer timely over haphazard train arrival times, etc.

My point was made because in my experience posting here, mentioning Peterson in the past on observations of his on life that I find to have merit evoked from many many liberals here massive calumny directed at me. It’s a great subject to mention, in my opinion, when you want to point out similar but opposite reactions on the left and the right as you did above yourself regarding some so called liberal men and gifts to women. Loved it and saw the same thing. Our culture has done a number on men

I myself only managed to escape all the ego damage and hold onto objective sexuality because I was born with an enormous dick and never worried I might be inferior though it has caused me to go deaf in my left ear.
The reason people get upset at you for speaking about Peterson at all positively is because he's a scumbag who collaborates with the far right to poison the minds of young men. The fact that he says a few things that resonate and seem helpful is part of the strategy, there is a pipeline and it starts with saying some obvious truths before it leads to the garbage that follows.

I'm glad you found some value. For the vast majority, his influence has only been harmful. And for some it's been catastrophically harmful not only to the boys in question, but to the people around them.

You are truly an absolutely disgusting piece of shit person by completely lying and misrepresenting things to make made up attacks on someone's character.

- Comments on women's attractivenes
I have barely made any comments on women's attractiveness on this forum, and have either never or almost never posted in the Babe thread when it existed. By all means please find all these comments of mine that use a woman's attractiveness in any demeaning way. In fact, I don't comment on women's looks much on here at all - in a couple dating threads and once in a while on something else. I have years of posting history here, and it's just not something I focus on. Good luck, liar. And in this one case of that thread that was linked, I only complimented this woman's attractiveness. You are insane.

- Posts their photos without consent onto a public forum with tens of thousands of users
I mean we are on the internet, people post photos, there was zero maliciousness behind my post, you are just making that part up.

- Discussed how the woman in question did not meet his personal requirements
lol yes I said religious people are a turn off to me. I mean the fact you can twist this into something very malicious is insane. We are allowed to discuss our personal turn ons and turn offs, or opinions, in a simple and mature way. Nothing about saying I am turned off by religious women in regards to qualities I look for in a partner is in any way a character flaw. Some people want to find someone religious, others don't. It's adults talking, and if you want to twist that - that just shows how utterly fucked up your brain is. People talk about their green and red flags in finding a partner and dating ALL THE FUCKING TIME! Now yes there are ways to go about it wrong, but no, saying religious is a turn off for me is not that way.

- Defended their posting of their photos as 'legal' despite a history of men doxxing and harassing women in spaces like this
Nothing I did was doxxing. Doxxing is revealing someone's identity and contact info so they can be harassed. I did nothing of the sort. Nothing I posted revealed any of those things, nor was there any insinuation that it was done with that intent, because it wasn't. What you are doing is insulting to people who suffer from actual doxxing. Gross.

- Takes opportunities to mention his supposed skills in bed in completely inappropriate places (like a f'ing politics board)
Grow up, we are adults here. We can talk about sexual things, wtf is wrong with you? The topic of right wing incel and misogynist culture is indeed very related to sexual relations, or the lack of them. It was very relevant to this subject - about right wing incel men as seen from a dating perspective - and sex happens in dating. You have some strange issues about sex that kind of hint about some underlying and potentially troubling suppressed emotions about the topic - those types of suppressed emotions often lead to unhealthy, and often abusive sexual activity. You should get help.


Do I need to go on? Should I continue digging into your posting history? I am guessing you still won't get it, guys like you need a lot of work. In my experience, men who behave like you are generally sex pests, or 'nice guys' who like to talk about how unselfish they are but then get bitter about rejection.

Yes. Please go on. I really really want you to dig through my posting history and please please please post all this evidence about my attitudes towards women which you have completely fabricated because you are a sick sick puppy. In fact, please have as many quotes of my posts backing your positions as soon as you can. I look forward to it.

Oh btw, as I stated before, unlike these right wing misogynist men who want their women submissive, domesticated, and controlled, and who they feel owe them sexual satisfaction (often without any reciprocity from the men) - I actually really enjoy non-submissive, assertive, confident, professional women who I can learn things from and relate to totally without any pre-conceived gender notions, and do not put them on any level - they are my equals at the very least - and to me part of a great partnership with someone is giving them lots of pleasure, and not just receiving it. Caring about their needs, learning their turn ons, and being a giving lover. And I will say that over and over and over again in any discussion about the power dynamic of men and women in a political discussion because that power dynamic involves sexuality - and is one giant big fucking reason we have Trump - so it's oh so relevant.

I await all this evidence of my misogynistic being and all my doxxing and demeaning women's appearances - should be easy dear chap. Now properly fuck off until you do that.

I don't see all my post quotes you said you were going to get. That's not all this evidence you threaten me to go dig for to prove any of your false accusations. I will not respond to you until you literally do what you said you would have to do. So go through my posting history, as you said you would, and prove all the bullshit you said about me by twisting things in your sick sick mind.

You literally got modded for your behavior in the linked thread but yes, it's everyone else who has problem, not the dude who has serious issues with the concept of consent from women.

Mowing the yard does not stop the grass from growing.
Yet we mow nonetheless.

Cleaning the house does not stop dirt from collecting.
Yet we still wipe surfaces clean.

Do you know why that is?

I feel that, if you did, then you would not have made such an argument. For I believe we can certainly push back and prevent such groups and forces from holding power over us. And before you inject confusion, no, stopping Nazis does not make us Nazis. In fact, it would be the duty of any functioning Democracy to not backslide into tyranny. Some effort to maintain order and Democratic institution is necessary. This subject explains, in part, our failure to do so. To keep our Democracy clean of corruptive processes and influences.
My point was not what you can’t do. You can do whatever you want that is legal or continues not to be prosecuted if illegal. My point is that what you want to do is use force to drive underground an evil that will spring back into existence somewhere else because you lack the knowledge to understand what the problem really is and that furthermore, you do not want to see that owing to fear. The only thing that will help Incels is the acquisition of real self respect. They act like dirt without it. You want to endlessly deal with the dirt or the regrowth of grass because dirt and regrowth are the product of your methodology. You are a blind man who has come upon an elephant in my opinion.

I've been correctly warned and suspended before but this was an overreaction about a completely non-malicious post. It's okay though, people like to be overly careful with moderation sometimes. I get it but it was incorrect what they implied.

Again you said you would dig up all these posts to prove your points that I am this misogynist pig that disrespects women, and other things and you could prove it with my posting history

So do what you said and post the evidence and prove it. Would you like me to quote what you said that?

You're being evasive and it's pathetic. Fucking own up to your words you little shit.

The reason people get upset at you for speaking about Peterson at all positively is because he's a scumbag who collaborates with the far right to poison the minds of young men. The fact that he says a few things that resonate and seem helpful is part of the strategy, there is a pipeline and it starts with saying some obvious truths before it leads to the garbage that follows.

As I said, I am not interested in challenging the veracity of your points and will just say that you make them as if they are facts but give me no evidence to back them up. I do not dispute your remarks only that you present opinion as fact. Not saying that's bad. I'm saying I would not make the comment you did because I don't have reasons to believe they are factual. Not really focused personally on Jordan Peterson other than as an example of how people tell me all about him and most of what they say they got from what others have said about him. I am only interested in what I see in him but he's not sufficiently important to me go spend much time looking. I have many objections to his points of view and his reactions to liberals.

I saw him cry in a video when talking about the thousands of comments he's received from young men thanking them for his advice. That happens to people who unknowingly feel worthless and experience the emotional shock of deep appreciation for their being. I don't mean to disparage crying in men. I just feel I know him better than he knows himself at least in this regard. That is of course my opinion but I have explained why I feel it. I am not stating it as a fact but I believe it is.

How about you might be a little off? Pretty hard to grow up an American male and not be somewhat fucked up. I remember when I was in college before I quit and sought psychological counseling regarding my loss of appetite for education that had gotten me into a world class college. At the end of the session the psychologist told me I was defensive and I told him I was not. That was, of course, before my egotism got me to the end of a rope and died there as I let go and fell. I mean, what's the big deal of you're actually a know nothing. Works for me.

I'm not a perfect man with women but I am nothing that lying shyster said at all. I am the opposite of a misogynist in real life and when I post here - and my posting history actually proves that over and over again. I do not disrespect women - and not even in that post. It was actually pointing how amazing she was in looks and other ways until....must love Jesus. This was a total non-gender related commentary and had no malicious harrassment intent in any way - and it's absolutely disgusting what they are trying to turn it into - it was about all these great green flags and then woops. Religious.

Shit on me for cussing and insulting people sometimes, going on some overly intense and hot rants - though in general I have posted much differently the last six months overall. I'm not ignorant of my flaws. But trying to twist shit and then make things up about me on this subject is disgusting - it's MAGA level smearing. Fuck that guy, he is gross.

This is a good response. The first thing anyone has to admit is that we are raised in a racist and misogynistic society. Nobody is perfect, nobody can be perfect, it's a process we will be engaged in our whole lives. I was raised in a far right environment and while I work hard to be better I still say and do things that don't register as a problem to me at the time because they were normalized. That said when someone points it out, I do my best to listen to what they are saying, swallow my initial gut reaction and then do some research and have some conversations. Sometimes I disagree with the assertion but am more cautious about the audience, but a lot of the time I realize there was something I didn't know and now I can do better.

Perhaps you think I point out your evident anger because I criticize you for having it. That isn't the case. I am filled with anger and can explode with it at any time. I absolutely despise conservatives and their thinking but I am plagued by the awareness it's not their fault and I might as well be punching at clouds. Several times years ago I almost allowed myself to become so enraged I almost did things that would have landed me in jail. I was lucky enough be woken by that fear in the worst case. Two other times nobody was to blame but me. I was asleep psychologically. The think is that while your anger may feel justified to you it's ugly to other people. All our lives we have been manipulated by the fear of other people's rage, the lesson being avoid people who have it. Most people try to deal with it by pretending it doesn't exist. But a better way might be gratitude for just being alive. In the here and now there is great beauty of you can relax enough to see it. The other way is to escalate and play a game macho of chicken. Like pretending, not a good idea either.

Humans only exist because... of my methodology?
That is a ... touch... too much credit. *wink

Had I absolute power they would enjoy Basic Income with relatively free housing and health care.
My method does not practically exist, not in a world where their voice of opposition has strength.

So yes, I intend to see them dealt with on their terms. In their way. For that is the only tool at hand, and to forsake one's duty to protect Democratic institutions... merely sets us back further. If not constituting an act of mass suicide. As MAGA will readily demonstrate with each step they take. Every moment of their power drives us further from logic and reason, from science and learning. With absolute power they move to see the world burn.

You accuse me of the same because I would oppose them. Your core belief would suggest that there is no difference between Allied and Axis forces in World War 2. In our neglect, fascism has come again and this time it has an American face. I say we should not have been negligent and kept our house clean.

My point is that what you want to do is use force to drive underground an evil that will spring back into existence somewhere else...
Knowing that we face human nature does not change the fact that we must face it. We must come into conflict with MAGA.
For they have crossed many red lines, not the least of all the functional END of American Democracy. Of rule of law, etc.

Moonbeam, I appreciate your message more than you know.
However, acting on it has a time and a place. Such as in a time of peace. Where there is a Democracy.
This is not that time. We are currently the Roman Republic after Caesar crossed the Rubicon. There is no going back.

I understand the irony of taking the time to say the time for words has passed.
But the war has not gone hot yet. So there is still time to lament all that we have lost, and are about to lose. At Democracy's End.

We had our share of fascists in the pre-WWII era, they never really went away. Trump drew them out of the woodwork, made them stop being ashamed of their anti-democratic selves.
There is a mistaken belief that we can somehow reach a final win over fascism. Psychology shows as much as 30% of a given population has authoritarian leanings, and it appears to be hereditary. This means the fight will never be over, and we need to plan that way. Every generation needs to be inoculated as best as possible against these leanings, and we need to question all policies that make it easier for authoritarians to attain and maintain control over the larger population.

Many of us saw this coming when GWB pushed the Patriot Act, I know that is when I left the right wing for good. Unfortunately we were ignored or called paranoid by the centrists and liberals, so here we are.

Interesting to hear about the psychology, in my musings I'd come to much the same conclusion; that some part of the population is just inherently authoritarian.

In my experience, men who behave like you are generally sex pests, or 'nice guys' who like to talk about how unselfish they are but then get bitter about rejection.

And always was on Russia, who loves war all the time. It's like orc getting reunited to celebrate war again.

This is a lament to loss. Everything you describe here has already happened and that is what drives it to happen again. You are living in your imagination created by your past envisioning and planning your future. Why? Because of fear. In that state if you were to have ultimate power it would be a disaster. Your duty in that case would be to do nothing at all. All else is arrogance. There is only love and only the lover should act.

What I have said here will not, I think, make sense to you. It’s just words that mean nothing. Words and thought are not being.

In the midst of the current disaster I got a new headset yesterday. Too many times my old ones fell off my head and landed on my sleeping cat in my lap. When that happens she will launch to safety instantly using the flesh in my legs and her claws for traction.

I have never once seen her worry for a second about the loss of democracy but I know what awaits the gestapo who steps on her foot and leaves it there.

This is a lament to loss. Everything you describe here has already happened and that is what drives it to happen again. You are living in your imagination created by your past envisioning and planning your future. Why? Because of fear.
It is not fear that makes the grass grow, the dirt collect, or the cat require a litter box. You do not "fear" them pooping on the floor. The past has informed you of their behavior and you take action to remedy that. Whether you exist or not, these things are happening. This "fear" you describe is simply prudent planning. A proper executive function of learning from the past to improve the future.

America did not create the Axis in WW2. But it certainly took a whole lot of soldiers and bombs to right those wrongs.
And not for one second would I proclaim it was wrong to do so. Nor will I pretend that we somehow feared them into existence.
Sometimes the course of events has moved beyond diplomacy and more... direct action is required.

I cannot promise the people who fight them would respect you or civil rights any more than MAGA.
And in the course of rallying against inaction, there would be losses. To our Democracy, to our people. Based on current events those losses are inevitable.
But I at least know WHO to blame for taking it to the brink and beyond. I know who the responsible party is for choosing this. For the Jan 6th coup. For everything they do now to violate Democracy.

I will not bothsides™ the crisis in America.

Where is the follow-up weirdo?
You have yet to do more than dismiss what is already been provided. Until you actually address it we have nothing more to discuss. You can start with explaining why you believe it is okay to non-consensually share a woman's image on a public message board. And why all the people who called you out for it are apparently wrong but you, in your lone opinion based on your self-proclaimed feminism (which apparently means spending years judging your dates on a public forum, I did have a look) is better than all the people who clearly find you creepy.

I dismissed it point by point - literally quoted each of your points one by one. So you continue to lie and you ain't got shit.

So none of the promised follow up to back up all your debunked and bullshit points. While I may be a hot head sometimes, I never lied about what people said - and lied about proof either. At least I have character, even though I can be overly aggressive.

Just an amazing lack of character, and weird really - as Tim Walz would say.
