The western world seems so crazy these days. There are so many things so obviously wrong to anyone with the slightest bit of logic or awareness of history, even just the history we've witnessed ourselves. And yet, no matter what you assert today, there are going to be (what, dolts? zombies? fishies from the sea of self-obsession? plain-ol' brainwashed lost causes?) who will refute anything you say.

It's tiring. It's not that you couldn't defend your viewpoints if you wanted to. Things reach a point, at least in our own perception of the state of things, where others appear to be so far off the deep end now, that no mere insertion of logic or any plea for the benefit of the greater good placed into conversation seems like it is enough to pull things back from the brink anymore.

I was attempting to make a post and realized there were so many angles, so many existential social concerns, and so many sub-genres of labels to side-route toward now, that I just gave up. It was going to be a post on my ever-growing disdain for feminism, I think, but now I wouldn't be able to post about that without taling about trannies, dumb college girls, the grassrooted-vs-astroturfed warfare on tradition and having children for the next generation... the suffering of boys as a girl lover myself... the horrific danger of social media not merely on kids, but young women and basically anyone with no logic skills or an upbringing that included standards and moral righteousness of any kind... Well, the post was too much to approach, not even with a strong cup of coffee.

Suffice it to say, there is a constant state of crisis inflicted on the West for decades now, much of it bankrolled and not-organic as I said, but just as mentally and physically draining for those who will not or cannot shut it all out. I think many of us feel like that these days. You don't even know for sure what's worth your time arguing for or against, or what nibble-nut is going to challenge you on some little detail for which you couldn't possible care less about.

Be that as it may, I decided to just link the two that might elicit the most opinion here.. booting hetero men from being school teachers, and an example of just how brainwashed young women have become. As if you needed more things to be dissatisfied with about the state of western society. I will be swimming to a deserted tropical island before the hot war begins. Hopefully a young Brook Shields in a white sundress will await my arrival, where we will start anew.

This going off the deep end is a perfect argument for patriarchy:
