A 15 year old school girl got stabbed to death in London today, by a 17 year old school boy, after she rejected his romantic advances. He knowingly carried a blade with him to use in case he got rejected.
This shows how bad incel “culture” is along with how damaging of an influence the likes of Andrew Tate, Sneako and all the other “alpha male” influencers have on young boys, it makes them start to see girls less like actual people and more like property that they need to own.

I mean, not to say Tate et al aren’t scum, but this sort of thing has been happening since prehistory, and been written extensively about since.

True, but it’s hard to deny that in the same way Trump validating racist rhetoric enabled the current rise of white supremacy, “alpha male” role models like Tate et al validating toxic masculinity towards insecure males is enabling the rise of incel culture.

Tommy Tuberville has a new problem with our military, and is the latest justification for why he’s singlehandedly preventing the promotion of over 300 top rank officials: he doesn’t want any “race mixing” in it.
US Senator Tommy Tuberville said he objected to efforts by a top military official to recruit and promote racial minorities in the armed forces, saying equal opportunity threatens military readiness. “Let me tell you something. Our military is not an equal opportunity employer,” the Alabama Republican said in an interview with Bloomberg Television’s “Balance of Power” Tuesday.
As part of the same interview, Tuberville said he opposed Air Force Gen. Charles Brown Jr.’s nomination to serve as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff because, as the senator put it, the general has “some woke policies.” Asked for an example, the Alabaman said he’d heard Brown say “some things” about “race and things that he wanted to mix into the military.”This was in apparent reference to the general noting that only 2% of Air Force pilots are Black, and recommending that the Air Force explore ways to add more diversity to the ranks.This, evidently, led the senator to reject Brown’s nomination, though he was confirmed anyway.But it was Tuberville’s latest comments about the military that seemed hard to believe. The Republican not only said the United States military “is not an equal opportunity employer,” as part of the same interview, he added, “Don’t give me this stuff about equal opportunity, because that’s not what this military is about.”
As the article notes, this is the same guy who repeatedly rejects the notion that “White Nationalists” are racist and insists that they are patriots.

Both sides bullshit is just as prevalent in website moderation as it is in news coverage but the moderators will pretend it’s totally different when they do it,

With an awesome press release like this I’m betting Fetterman has a longer political career than any active California politician.

That’s Doug Heffernan, the character Kevin James plays in The King of Queens.

It’s Kevin James from his role in the sitcom King of Queens. You probably know him better from his starring role in Paul Blart: Mall Cop.

STOP THE RESTRICT ACT!
PARIS — A sensationalistic report released this week by a French government office is urging immediate state censorship and broad criminalization of the adult industry in France and worldwide.
The report is titled “Pornocriminalité” and was produced by France’s High Council for Equality Between Women and Men (HCE).
The report is being promoted in the press by Sylvie Pierre-Brossolette, a former journalist and anti-sex-work advocate who served in the HCE between 2019 and 2021.

Oh they can fuck ALL the way off, and not in the fun way!
I stand for the rights of all workers, and sex workers are sure as Hell no exception. Too often they are the canaries in the metaphorical coalmine when it comes to political repression, and we do well to listen.

The second Republican debate has ended. And no Trump did not attend. He instead spent the time going to the UAW strike event.
At the one non-union factory, just in case you wondered his feelings on unions.

I’d imagine they would know more about protection than most other workers.

I honestly don’t get the need for so many online communists to deny war crimes and atrocities by states under attack/at war with the west
Yes no support for inter imperialist wars but by downplaying atrocities committed by those states they are inadvertently being the mouthpieces of imperialists states, just not western ones
Each bourgeois fraction, each bourgeois group or camp tries to use those of the others, by pinpointing the infamies of the neighbor to rally the proletarians to its own cause… Can we respond to this exploitation of our own crimes by the bourgeoisie by simply denying their reality? No! That’s dumb; in all senses of the word.
The proletariat does not deny the reality of torture, massacres and exterminations, even if it is not alone in suffering them. It does not deny the countless horrors perpetrated by the bourgeoisie, but it shows their real cause. Which – careful! does not mean that it absolves the executing agents. These horrors do not leave it indifferent, they arouse its hatred and its will to fight them. But it can only really fight them by placing itself on its class field, with its class perspective and its class weapons, and not by allying itself with forces that actually aim to paralyse it and subjugate it to the bourgeois order.

Prolly cos they think destroying the US is their instant solution to every single problem. They kinda seem so desperate for revenge and/or attention.
I’m talking about the Twitter “tankies” and those edgelords donning Soviet and North Korean cosplay, all the way to glorifying russian Z imperialism in its invasion of Ukraine.

The “impeachment inquiry” started today apparently.
Several of the witnesses, hand picked by the sitting GOP panel members mind you, openly refuted most of the GOP talking points. With one of the main ones outright admitting that there is no evidence, at all.
One unnamed GOP rep called it an “unmitigated disaster” and a conservative analyst said that this, plus the looming shutdown, will “hand the dems a blue wave come 2024”.

ya, if a conservative analyst is calling this event a shot to the balls for a 2024 victory then we know the republican party is kinda fucked come presidential election.
