  • I would disagree that women who think this way ought be discounted any more that you should say “Don’t date a man that loves big boobs and can’t arrange furniture to save his life”.

    Ultimately we as a species are stuck with the sex drives we’ve got. Whilst some effort can be made to rise above them, (and to recognise potential partners who don’t) I think we also need to find healthy behaviours that can scratch the same itch as the toxic ones.

    Jealousy is fine if stated frankly and honestly, rather than manifesting in surviellance. Relentless pursuit is fine in the framework of formal flirtation, not on a street with stranger. You oughtn’t manhandle where uninvited, but it’s no sin to be physically fit enough to be capable of it.











  • Just like how preventing the genocide of poles/jews/gypsies in europe required the counter-genocide of the German people?

    Confict between Iran and the west does not need to be settled in Gazan hospitals. Why I ought I support the actual in-progress genocide because of the hypothetical genocide that would be carried out in absence of western support, espacily given that Isreali military spending alone is already twice Iranian? Withdrawing support from Isreal would not wipe the nation out, just cause it to place greater weight on international support (and thereby international law) when conducting their war.





  • The clones where already phased out by the time of the alliance to restore the republic, it was the empire that had wiped them out (always pull up the ladder behind you).

    On a more serious note: the ‘both sides bad’ point is a bit moot when many western nations (including the USA and UK, where most english speaking twit-lords come from) are actively providing financial and military support to one of those sides. If it were discovered MI6 had been smuggling missiles to hamas then we could talk about what how to put a stop to it.


  • Also empires are always building super-weapons in fiction and not the railroads/bridges/tax offices and all other boring shit that empires tend to do.

    The last ‘super weapon’ to be used in anger was made by the glorious republic (USA) against the Evil empire (Japan). The genocides meanwhile tend to be perpetrated with boring old bombs, shells and blockades.
