The reason men’s rights activist sites are so whiny is that they accept the progressive ideology of equalism, and in their own lives they treated women as equals, and of course deservedly got treated like shit. They complain that men and women are not truly treated as alike, and therefore men get the short end of the stick.

Health care and stockholm syndrome
Observing enthusiasm for government health care around the world, it seems fairly proportional to the amount of involuntary euthanasia, the amount of murder by the state. Government healthcare has been demonstrably successful in moving the population and voters left, in large part in proportion to its propensity to murder people. Thirty percent of hospital deaths in Britain are murder by the state. British hospitals literally stink of death, due to deplorable and obvious lack of basic hygiene. They don’t apply …
Religiosity and fertility: Wrong metric
Half Sigma finds that religiosity is correlated with fertility, and nothing else makes much difference. In particular, intelligence makes little difference, except that smart people tend to be less religious by the measure of religiosity used. But
The PC trajectory
Nazis, neo nazis, and white nationalists think the nineteen thirties or early nineteen forties was lovely, that Franklin D. Roosevelt and social security was the greatest thing since sliced bread, and there is nothing wrong with social security that soaking the rich could not fix, but that things went too far left once Jews were encouraged to convert to progressivism and join the ruling elite and promptly launched the civil rights movement. They don’t think there was any such thing as political correctness in the early twentieth century.
But everything that is going wrong today was visible in the middle of the nineteenth century.
Not the cognitive elite
Theoretically elite colleges select people with very high scores on the college entrance exam, thus select very smart people, thus our ruling elite is composed of very smart people. There are two problems with this story. One is that they do not in fact select people with very high scores on the college entrance exam, and the other is that during the 1990s, high scores on the college entrance exam frequently ceased to correlate with being very smart. LSAT is …
Trayvon autopsy
Here is what you did not hear about Trayvon’s autopsy, the dog that did not bark. You did not hear about the mark of single blow, while Zimmerman looks like he had an argument with a cement mixer. So Trayvon attacked Zimmerman. He was bashing Zimmerman, while Zimmerman refused to fight back, screaming for help, hoping it would stop, or that help would arrive. When it became apparent that Trayvon would not stop till Zimmerman was dead or gravely injured, …
God is dead
though I agree with Mencius Moldbug that it has been downhill since the restoration, it does not follow that the restoration system can be restored. For it to be restored, we would need a live God, and we don’t have one.
Not the cognitive elite
The immensely well paid staff of the World Bank issued a pile of nonsense about European financial problems in which they kept calling a positive feedback loop a negative feedback loop. Obama’s speechwriters issued an equally stupid speech to their black mascot in which they called the Falkland Islands the Maldives.
Monsters among us
One curious and difficult to explain aspect of the left, is the tendency to hate what is good and true and to love monstrous evil and barefaced lies. Thus, for example, compare the worshipful treatment of China from 1956 to 1972, with the high pitched moral outrage directed at China when the Chinese government ended mass murder and artificial famine in the late seventies, and set to replacing slave labor and command with wage labor and profitability in 1981. Similarly …
Left wing tells
Every time you twit a leftist with the Trayvon Martin incident, he will list how the evil racist George Zimmerman provoked Martin by the horrible racism of suspecting Martin of criminality – which implicitly admits what is explicitly denied, that the six foot one black Martin attacked the five foot seven mestizo Zimmerman, which in turn implicitly admits that leftists approve of the black racist attacks on whites that they so enthusiastically encourage. Similarly, if you twit a leftist with …
