The truth
Video: Spare feelings, save conflict
Well this is bullshit. False dichotomy much?
Polite is not correct or nice. Frank is not wrong or nasty. Feelings or facts, as seen?
Polite is not correct or nice. Frank is not wrong or nasty. Feelings or facts, as seen?
Honest people aren’t rude. Hurting feelings is not rude, that’s a fool’s definition. Rudeness breaches a social code, agreed upon. If others disagree, such that you impose your own rules, there is no breach on their part, but possibly on yours. Force is rude, forcing people to accommodate your personal whims is rude. Honest people force the liars from their bubble, that is not rude, actually it’s a public service. Someone has to do it.
Polite people aren’t liars. They are naturally gentle and follow rules to avoid coarseness, not the truth, which they can handle with adroitness. If there’s a nice way to correct someone, they will. But polite people can be harsh, if need be or if treated poorly, as correction. The polite do not censor but treat with manners those who deserve them, rather than coming in unprepared.
Insincere people are neither honest nor polite, they are users of others playing off both groups. A third group. According to etiquette, the insincere are worse as liars than the possible rudeness of honesty. False modesty?
The other two demonstrate conscientiousness in different ways. The polite person treats you well for no reason or against reason, the frank person treats you as an equal, as a mark of respect, to even out any reason based on your true status for communication’s sake.
Due to class, the middle thinks it’s being nice when everyone else sees it being patronizing. Is it any wonder etiquette fell out of favour as the middle class grew? They love holding people to different standards and secretly bitching behind your back. The truly polite do not do this, forgiving any errors, nor do the frank, who will admit problems to resolve them. The middle class allow them to fester for gossip fodder.
Frank people expect frankness to save time and signal this by going first. Consideration is honesty. They must get things done and get along openly. Ego is accurate based on ability. People are adults and should be open to criticism if they deserved it. Doing your job is the minimum, nothing special. Duty doesn’t deserve special compliment and you won’t use them for special treatment either, pay with cash, not words. Learn by doing, not by hearing about it.
Polite people are shy and expect a slow drawn-out assessment based on subtle hinting but also mixed signals. Consideration is avoiding bad blood and conflict, including deniable mistakes. They must get along, whatever individualism threatens it. Opinions threaten vital reputation, needed for getting along with others. Awkwardness makes their subtle games difficult. Ego is based on what is nice and understated. People are soft and should be treated like children, which is as insulting as it sounds. Butter people up to get the reaction you want. They make up pointless rules to make themselves look better than the people too busy working to indulge in it. Their praise, even where false, changes lives, about as arrogant as it sounds. Polite people hedge, and liars do too. Tact is frank and polite.
“Your mother is a frequent lover.”
Notice how politics shares a root with polite and presumes its own correctness based on a popularity model, needed in democracy? The world doesn’t need more PC.
Also of interest
The douche in disguise. The fake nice guy (nice people are nice for it’s own sake, not as emotional blackmail). Beware of the over-agreeable, they don’t really agree with anything. Over-niceness is repressed rage, it’ll come out somehow. What a man is attracted to sexually is his true self, projected onto the partner.
Ayn Rand said “A man’s sexual choice is the result and the sum of his fundamental convictions…. He will always be attracted to the woman who reflects his deepest vision of himself, the woman whose surrender permits him to experience a sense of self-esteem. The man who is proudly certain of his own value, will want the highest type of woman he can find, the woman he admires, the strongest, the hardest to conquer–because only the possession of a heroine will give him the sense of an achievement.”
Also “People think that a liar gains a victory over his victim. What I’ve learned is that a lie is an act of self-abdication, because one surrenders one’s reality to the person to whom one lies, making that person one’s master, condemning oneself from then on to faking the sort of reality that person’s view requires to be faked…The man who lies to the world, is the world’s slave from then on…There are no white lies, there is only the blackest of destruction, and a white lie is the blackest of all.”
White people + danger + Adam and Eve
An example of how criticizing white people can be funny (because it’s true), fine (because it’s put in a polite way) and not anti-white.
I’d argue that adventuring spirit is the reason we had Empires.
And for That’s Not Sexist Because It’s In the Bible.
I already know this but it’s well put. I find it funny when fake manosphere Christians bring up Eve like that’s a real point. Are you missing a rib too? And Lilith is Jewish. There’s no such thing as Judeo-Christian because Nietzsche came up with that to trash-talk two religions at once et cetera et cetera…
It’s good to explain to these people what really happened – according to the Bible they do not read except in snippets on wikipedia.
A man did something he knew would make God mad – and the woman got blamed for it. I’ll take World History for $100.
Based on a literal reading of this fact, women can educate themselves with as much knowledge as they want with God’s blessing aka only men are forbidden from knowledge. Probably because you know, what they do with it.
~nukes going off in the distance~
So, if we’re being pedantic like many male theology students, Christian only universities should be women’s only universities, right?
Or do we only apply the one-sided stuff when women get the short end of the passage (like explicitly mentioning female virginity because it was written by horny men)?
Double standards are fine if there is a sound reason given at the same time (so in this case, in the Bible, preferably same gospel). In that case, I think it’s presumed men would be virgins upon marriage based on the rarity and expense of prostitutes. Nowadays all you need to do is buy them a drink.
Yet it never mentions whether it was OK if she lost her virginity to the man she was marrying….
It kinda reminds me of the hypocrisy (always wrong) of the hijab/niqab/burka – if it’s really about modesty, the men would wear them too.
Like old nun clothing, matched up to priest clothing. Fair standard. No free rides here, sinner.
Video: Killing the messenger
Ignoring the “my opinion of science is the correct one 4eva” scientism faux angle.
Ignoring that snarky insinuation.
“You were dangerous.”
When someone has a problem with you telling the truth (say, citing modest stats, no commentary), it isn’t a problem with you, per se.
You’re the fleshy human convenient punching bag.
The Devil with a face. You can’t punch evil in the face.
Victim culture and corruption is fueled with the blood of truth seekers. Think of it as ideological welfare to go with their ideological imperialism (all not-Us people are bad! ~ literally the opinion of bigots, literal definition).
Bigots used to be liars who refused to hear the truth. Problem is, they’d try to ban it from others’ ears too.
It’s mind boggling when they dispute facts.
Not opinions, not skews, but bare, blunt facts.
What could I do? you think. I’m the messenger. I didn’t design any of this reality. You think I enjoy this??? Seriously!?
I’m pointing and describing it. I don’t like it either, but you don’t change things by ignoring them.
Logic.
If logic worked on them, you wouldn’t have to explain it for them. They’d seek the information themselves, we have the internet now. They’d ask you things. Idiots are uppity. If you’re right, and especially if you explain it well, they’ll derail; they’ll slag off your personality (bitchy, rude) or tone (arrogant, condescending). Reaction formation is real.
Save those who want the truth (see Best Post).
Fuck the rest.
Facts like: there’s no such thing as a free lunch.
Consumption without industry is unnatural and impossible. Barring slavery.
You won’t be able to live off a state pension, and you probably won’t even get one. They’ll slowly phase it out into irrelevance. You’ll be lucky if it can buy a Freddo by the time you retire.
If the minimum wage hike advocates understood maths and economics to know why it’s gonna screw them over, they’d wouldn’t be earning minimum wage.
Stupid people and poor people will always exist. But I repeat myself. You can’t teach someone out of stupidity. The top schools take the top IQ slice. If you leveled everyone, totally equal by force, after a year there would be inequalities based on personal decisions. Equality is the idea that if I can’t succeed, you can’t succeed, because you must be cheating!
Free loaders expect to match the results of the top performer. Participation trophies?
Smart places are dragged down to the weakest IQ in the room i.e. University.
“But it’s fun” is the excuse of every loser in history.
The Government doesn’t solve social problems. It causes social problems.
You pay a premium to live in a low crime homogeneous demographic area in your native country.
You pay for the destructive lifestyles and terrible choices of idiots in your country, and their vote counts as much as yours.
Political Correctness is the method of politicians saying There Are No Harsh Truths.
That’s it.
PC culture revolves around the infantilization of adults making up the Voting Public.
Whichever baby makes the biggest fuss gets the attention.

The rare times feminists hit on the truth
I wanted to give them a fair hearing. It’s like a tiny grain of sand within the pearl of lies. This refreshing collection took a while to add up.
I like to think of these as Original Feminists, back when they had standards that everyone held to.
THANK YOU.
Honestly folks, it’s that simple. The person committing the crime is the criminal! The innocent person is the victim!
FINALLY.
The term comes from a guy who wanted to fuck his own mother so badly he assumed every other man in the world must too. Mummy Issues is a thing as much as Daddy Issues. Same for penis envy and womb envy, it’s two sides of the same coin. If one is valid, so is the other.
What often goes unmentioned is the reason for being gradual about it. The pure vitriol women get for putting down a gamma or lower upfront. Another aspect is how romantic relationships are not owed to anyone, and the bitchy type often lie in the beginning about their intentions (like some FWB women), amping up the friend element and leading into “we’re such good friends” and trying to segue into a girlfriend situation. As if we’re stupid.
Irony that it took a man to point this out.
It’s never ‘just a drink’. They think they’re buying you. Like a sex slave.
And they think you’re cheap.
At least whores are paid in cash, market rate, based on time and services rendered.
Hook-up culture is just hooker culture, fooling itself.
The intended purpose is to make you feel bad because they know you’re out of their league. They know they don’t have a realistic chance so it’s like long-distance negging to prop up their delusions of alpha maleness. Those aren’t men, they act like teenagers. As if feeling SMV-inferior around someone is an excuse to verbally abuse them, they don’t dare pull that on other blokes at the bar or start on women walking with men, weaklings. It came from black culture and it’s hostile there too.
On the flipside, sex attackers often start with a catcall to test the intended victim, to get her to stop, come over here out of public sight, tell him your name so he can stalk you or they get a simple thrill from making a woman fear them, however temporary. The best thing you can do is ignore them or laugh, and that’s why so many women wear headphones nowadays. You don’t give strangers compliments, ever. Women aren’t dumb enough on the whole to try but desperate men think it’s fair game to judge while they’re standing in the street like losers and in addition, they think it makes them look less desperate for any female attention (no).
Solution? If you must express appreciation, a simple, single wolf-whistle.
That’s it. No words. No words are needed and you’ll screw it up.
Literally me. Turns out they still blamed it on white men. For letting them in?
There is no continuum or scale. It’s have or have not.
Sex is consensual. Without it, that’s the crime of rape. Whatever the sex of the initiator, I might add.
There is a responsibility on men to know the difference between assertive and aggressive.
Former is romantic, latter is illegal (test: would you try those actions on a man who could physically equal you?).
They rape women in hijabs. They raped women in petticoats. That’s like saying never buy anything nice and expensive in case you get mugged or burgled, it’s no way to live. This is the First World and we all have the right to show skin (including topless men) without being stoned to death. The responsibility for self-control lies with the tempted party. Feral males need to stop blaming women for their own weaknesses. Note: women groping stranger men is also wrong, the other side of Eve Teasing.
Happened a lot during those days. Happens to this day when people have the excuse of alcohol (in studies, people act drunk with placebo drinks). They retain responsibility for their actions (including drinking within their limits) if they’re sober enough to enact them in the first place. Sober enough to do it? Sober enough to know better. Grabbing and kissing someone who isn’t interested ain’t right. Being in a club isn’t an excuse either, you wouldn’t be able to behave like that in a brothel ffs.
Men can handle rejection as time saved. Boys take it personally.
Men have more experience of interpersonal rejection than women, usually. However, they also have more interpersonal opportunities as the approaching party.
I’ve heard some lower status men dispute the existence of leagues.
The veiled term men use for a woman out of their league is ‘high maintenance’, among others.
Includes all belief, including political.
from the “You can’t call her Bruce!” pronoun people
Men say they’d be totally fine about male objectification until it happens.
Then they point and shriek like banshees because it makes them feel insecure…..
….. and how do you think we feel?
Get over it, like we do. Woman up. Stop taking it so personally. We probably aren’t comparing you to underwear models, because let’s face it, you’d lose.
Another stellar example of “You’re proving our point for us.”
We predict you’ll do XYZ when we use the male trigger word ‘misogyny’ in any context.
*XYZ happens*
Told ya so.
Quit being so bloody predictable, if you didn’t feed them with instances of trolling or insults, they’d fizzle out and get real jobs.
Misogyny has recently made otherwise sensible men a laughing stock in the public eye, it practically makes them foam at the mouth whatever the bones of the argument being discussed. They lose it. Aren’t they meant to be the rational ones, as they claim?
