If there is a better example of how liberalism is a form of self-hate, I haven't seen it.
I'm so sick of liberals. I'm tired of the faggotry. I'm tired of seeing NFL players wearing fucking pink and staging these faggot-tantrum protests. The thought of listening to HRC for the next 4/8 years take every anti-white male position she can with her bull-dyke low voice while dressed like Mao depresses me. I'm tired of every TV show needing to have gays on it. I'm tired of Muslims killing a bunch of innocent people every few months, then listen to people whine about Islamophobia. I could go on, but why? If there's something I've learned about life after 2010, whatever outrages are going on today, tomorrow's outrages will only be more egregious.
Why does America suck so bad and how did this happen? Our culture wasn't like this 10-15 years ago. Also, where does this end? The Left is seems absolutely dead set on exacerbating all known social divisions for political gain, and there doesn't seem to be any legitimate counterweight to it. What happens from here? You can talk about secession, but it's just nostalgia; there's just about as many faggoty shitlibs in South Carolina as there are anywhere else.
Even if Trump wins - which would be nice - the Left will do what they did during the Bush years (and then some), which is just push social division and anti-government protests. The Left doesn't care, they'll find anything to protest and scream about, it's just an excuse (remember anti-war protesters? They all went home in 2009 to change shirts to protest Wall Street or something, despite that the wars were still going on).
Bros, things just suck right now, and I'm sick of it.

219. Leftism is totalitarian force. Wherever leftism is in a position of power it tends to invade every private corner and force every thought into a leftist mold. In part this is because of the quasi-religious character of leftism; everything contrary to leftists beliefs represents Sin. More importantly, leftism is a totalitarian force because of the leftists' drive for power. The leftist seeks to satisfy his need for power through identification with a social movement and he tries to go through the power process by helping to pursue and attain the goals of the movement (see paragraph 83). But no matter how far the movement has gone in attaining its goals the leftist is never satisfied, because his activism is a surrogate activity (see paragraph 41). That is, the leftist's real motive is not to attain the ostensible goals of leftism; in reality he is motivated by the sense of power he gets from struggling for and then reaching a social goal.
Consequently the leftist is never satisfied with the goals he has already attained; his need for the power process leads him always to pursue some new goal. The leftist wants equal opportunities for minorities. When that is attained he insists on statistical equality of achievement by minorities. And as long as anyone harbors in some corner of his mind a negative attitude toward some minority, the leftist has to re-educate him. And ethnic minorities are not enough; no one can be allowed to have a negative attitude toward homosexuals, disabled people, fat people, old people, ugly people, and on and on and on. It's not enough that the public should be informed about the hazards of smoking; a warning has to be stamped on every package of cigarettes. Then cigarette advertising has to be restricted if not banned. The activists will never be satisfied until tobacco is outlawed, and after that it will be alcohol then junk food, etc. Activists have fought gross child abuse, which is reasonable. But now they want to stop all spanking. When they have done that they will want to ban something else they consider unwholesome, then another thing and then another. They will never be satisfied until they have complete control over all child rearing practices. And then they will move on to another cause.
220. Suppose you asked leftists to make a list of ALL the things that were wrong with society, and then suppose you instituted EVERY social change that they demanded. It is safe to say that within a couple of years the majority of leftists would find something new to complain about, some new social "evil" to correct because, once again, the leftist is motivated less by distress at society's ills than by the need to satisfy his drive for power by imposing his solutions on society.
221. Because of the restrictions placed on their thoughts and behavior by their high level of socialization, many leftists of the over-socialized type cannot pursue power in the ways that other people do. For them the drive for power has only one morally acceptable outlet, and that is in the struggle to impose their morality on everyone.
So you're tracksuited, right? Or some sort of Boratish national origin?
I don't mean that as an insult, I've just noticed that you have a concept of the left as an effective and domineering political force that's really at odds with what I see in the U.S. The U.S. is run by the economic elite and the only reason they indulge SJW bullshit is because they've run the projections and decided that there's money to be made off of it.

You hit the nail on the head, brother.
I have a few years left of MFH cash and then I'm going back to the Appalachians, only this time in a part so deep they have never even heard of trigger warnings, intersectionality, white privilege, misgendering, or "men" like this.
You're giving this asshat way too much credit. There's a much higher than 50/50 chance that his son's going to get to school and get some degree of independence from his parents and then quickly realizes how much fighting and guns and aggression are interesting to him. By the time he's 8 he'll be playing violent video games at home if he is good at manipulating his parents, or at worst he'll be going to his friends house to play them, and wrestle and play full contact tackle football in the back yard. I used to worry a lot more about SJWs fucking up the world. Then I had my two kids and the truth is that nature has a lot of natural systems to correct for their bullshit. Boys as young as 3 and 4 want desperately to wrestle, shoot toy guns and pick on each other to determine a social order. It's been that way since we were living in caves.
Not even rebels, really. Boys love big machines, sports, fighting, violence, explosions. It's utter bullshit to try to argue that society has somehow imposed this on them. It's there from before they can walk, and you see it explode as soon as they start trying to talk and they lose their shit whenever they see a construction site or the trash gets picked up.

But this boy’s going to be raised to feel and express his vulnerability. That’s a curse in this culture.
What worried me just as much was the flip-side realization: Whatever my wife and I tried to do to shape our son’s masculine identity would compete against such cultural norms as a postured indifference to school, which can lead to lower grades, graduation rates and academic motivation; a sports and gaming culture that exalt alpha domination (and aggressive male reflexes); and a tight-lipped John Wayne ethos that breeds alienation and, too often, depression.
But no subject gets her going more than when I ask if she really sees a connection between society's attempts to paper over the biological distinction between men and women and the collapse of Western civilization.
She starts by pointing to the diminished status of military service. "The entire elite class now, in finance, in politics and so on, none of them have military service—hardly anyone, there are a few. But there is no prestige attached to it anymore. That is a recipe for disaster," she says. "These people don't think in military ways, so there's this illusion out there that people are basically nice, people are basically kind, if we're just nice and benevolent to everyone they'll be nice too. They literally don't have any sense of evil or criminality."
The results, she says, can be seen in everything from the dysfunction in Washington (where politicians "lack practical skills of analysis and construction") to what women wear. "So many women don't realize how vulnerable they are by what they're doing on the street," she says, referring to women who wear sexy clothes.
When she has made this point in the past, Ms. Paglia—who dresses in androgynous jackets and slacks—has been told that she believes "women are at fault for their own victimization." Nonsense, she says. "I believe that every person, male and female, needs to be in a protective mode at all times of alertness to potential danger. The world is full of potential attacks, potential disasters." She calls it "street-smart feminism."
Ms. Paglia argues that the softening of modern American society begins as early as kindergarten. "Primary-school education is a crock, basically. It's oppressive to anyone with physical energy, especially guys," she says, pointing to the most obvious example: the way many schools have cut recess. "They're making a toxic environment for boys. Primary education does everything in its power to turn boys into neuters."
She is not the first to make this argument, as Ms. Paglia readily notes. Fellow feminist Christina Hoff Sommers has written about the "war against boys" for more than a decade. The notion was once met with derision, but now data back it up: Almost one in five high-school-age boys has been diagnosed with ADHD, boys get worse grades than girls and are less likely to go to college.
Ms. Paglia observes this phenomenon up close with her 11-year-old son, Lucien, whom she is raising with her ex-partner, Alison Maddex, an artist and public-school teacher who lives 2 miles away. She sees the tacit elevation of "female values"—such as sensitivity, socialization and cooperation—as the main aim of teachers, rather than fostering creative energy and teaching hard geographical and historical facts.
By her lights, things only get worse in higher education. "This PC gender politics thing—the way gender is being taught in the universities—in a very anti-male way, it's all about neutralization of maleness." The result: Upper-middle-class men who are "intimidated" and "can't say anything. . . . They understand the agenda." In other words: They avoid goring certain sacred cows by "never telling the truth to women" about sex, and by keeping "raunchy" thoughts and sexual fantasies to themselves and their laptops.
Politically correct, inadequate education, along with the decline of America's brawny industrial base, leaves many men with "no models of manhood," she says. "Masculinity is just becoming something that is imitated from the movies. There's nothing left. There's no room for anything manly right now." The only place you can hear what men really feel these days, she claims, is on sports radio. No surprise, she is an avid listener. The energy and enthusiasm "inspires me as a writer," she says, adding: "If we had to go to war," the callers "are the men that would save the nation."
And men aren't the only ones suffering from the decline of men. Women, particularly elite upper-middle-class women, have become "clones" condemned to "Pilates for the next 30 years," Ms. Paglia says. "Our culture doesn't allow women to know how to be womanly," adding that online pornography is increasingly the only place where men and women in our sexless culture tap into "primal energy" in a way they can't in real life.
A key part of the remedy, she believes, is a "revalorization" of traditional male trades—the ones that allow women's studies professors to drive to work (roads), take the elevator to their office (construction), read in the library (electricity), and go to gender-neutral restrooms (plumbing).
" Michelle Obama's going on: 'Everybody must have college.' Why? Why? What is the reason why everyone has to go to college? Especially when college is so utterly meaningless right now, it has no core curriculum" and "people end up saddled with huge debts," says Ms. Paglia. What's driving the push toward universal college is "social snobbery on the part of a lot of upper-middle-class families who want the sticker in the window."

I voted for Nader and Obama twice -- huge shitlib. I still lean left on environment and labor. Then I had a son and everything changed. I asked myself why I am supporting people who denigrate masculine values? Who demonize white males? Who see rape everywhere? etc.
Fuck that. My wife is shocked that I became a Trumpmo. The other night she asked why I thought a Trump victory would benefit me, I said, "I am not worried about me... I am worried about him [points at son."

I'm very much the same.
Funny that one of the few people with the courage to stand up for masculine virtue is a dykey lesbian. But she comes from a prole, working class background so she's actually down to earth.

I brought this activist agenda to my love life, too. Peeved by dating Web site profiles that echoed the sentiments of one woman who declared, “No weepy mama’s boys need apply,” I changed my own vita. It included this line: “I’m a man who isn’t afraid to cry. You woman enough to handle that?

Watch. His son is going to rebel against his shitlib wet napkin of a father. Macallah is going to be an all-state linebacker with political views like Gavin McInnes, laying hot trashy bitches down like tile, all to his father's disgust.
Having sons is the fucking best. Any guy who trolls for daughters is nuts. I would much rather worry about how to teach them how to deal with a bully than worry about them not getting pregnant in high school.
Daughters need to deal with bullies too, and sons can knock someone up in high school. Knocking someone up in high school can really fuck up a kid's life too.

This is key, along with the bureaucrats and politicians who decide the curriculum. These people in turn take their inspiration (and orders) from "gurus" and ideologues in consultancies and universities.
The influence of all these people rival and perhaps even exceed that of the media. Together, schools, colleges and media can be turned into a massive and biased indoctrination machine.

Even if the curriculum was perfectly normal, there is no way someone like the author could teach it without introducing their biases. You have to understand that his worldview and his evident hatred of normalcy is the driving force of his life and work.

those came out seconds after affirmative consent laws were proposed but SJWs quickly pointed out a woman has the right to withdraw her consent at any time, even after consenting via the app. also a rapist could pressure a woman into confirming consent via the app.

Of course, but this falls into the meme that women can do no wrong unless they oppose liberal feminism. But even then, rather than attack them directly for conclusions they disagree with, they respond with condescending lines about how confused they are. Reminds me of how feminists declared that Bernie female voters were just "chasing boys”.
"What worried me just as much was the flip-side realization: Whatever my wife and I tried to do to shape our son’s masculine identity would compete against such cultural norms as a postured indifference to school, which can lead to lower grades, graduation rates and academic motivation; a sports and gaming culture that exalt alpha domination (and aggressive male reflexes); and a tight-lipped John Wayne ethos that breeds alienation and, too often, depression."

I wish I had the privilege the author talks about. My only fear now, about having sons, is that as black men, they may one day be gunned down in the street by police. So pardon if I'm rolling my eyes at this article right now.
I couldn't get through the damn thing, but I agree with the general idea that the whole John Wayne ethos taken to its extreme isn't beneficial to men. The whole "stiff upper lip" thing causes alienation and depression in men. If they were socialized to express certain emotions more, things may be different.
I have problems with the idea that there's an ideal feminine or ideal masculine set of behaviors that children need to conform to.
Why can't we just teach both our sons and daughters to (1) express their emotional needs in a calm and effective manner, (2) know when to STFU and stop complaining when necessary, (3) know how to lead and protect things and people that are valuable to them, (4) show compassion and empathy for their own sake and not to manipulate others, and (5) not to engage in talk or thoughts that could be viewed as demeaning or objectifying others.
If you don't want women raising your sons, just marry some dood or adopt a son yourself.
You do recognize that in a traditional household where the woman raises the child while you're off at work, she basically will have free reign over how that kid is raised in a lot of ways. You'll have weekends to throw the football around, but she's in his ear all the time.
And you'll find it very hard to find a woman these days (especially a younger, millennial woman) who buys into super-rigid gender constructs as well as the whole "boys will be boys" thing.
