At a guess, he’s probably of the opinion that video games’ “proper” purpose is to help inculcate authoritarian-Christian values. (It’s probably also what he sees as the “proper” purpose of all art and media.) He’s likely fearful that the new political climate will undermine that goal.

@Thraxas #75124

Pretty much. The key is to realize that what the right value is not Equality, but Liberty—in its “purest” form as Rugged Individualism, anyway. Which has the unpleasant effect of exalting Social Darwinism in the process. But then, it’s not hard to find claims that Liberty and Equality aren’t really compatible. Best to make the masses “incapable” of thriving in ruggedness into a mudsill to raise up the natural aristocracy, than trap even those aristocrats in the mire with the masses who could never leave it even with infinite effort.

Still, they know asexual men exist, yes? So, even putting aside their scorn for asexual men, asexual women should also exist. The extrapolation shouldn’t be difficult.

Doing recon on what else we have of Dilley, I’m no longer so sure. He’s boasted of disseminating fake news, with those very words, and is clearly eager to efface anything and everything that isn’t as far right as the human psyche can go.

EDIT: This is just one element that Right Wing Watch unearthed of him: https://twitter.com/rightwingwatch/status/1207744887300513798?s=21

We’re sure this isn’t a Poe? It’s on the odd side that anyone refers to abuse of power—with the very word “abuse”—as a good thing.

Note that there’s something very suspicious about that forest claim. Namely, that it’s implied to be naught but women pleasuring men. So, where’s the obverse? If the claim is somehow true, it should have been roughly equal.

Bastethotep did say on the Discord that incels find the idea of giving women oral sex to be profoundly humiliating (not that I’ve seen incels claim that personally). Which, combined with their grasping natures for everything else, makes me wonder if they think more modern depictions of vampires (i.e. not the original depictions of strigoii as not much more than Romero zombies looking for blood rather than brain matter) are the ultimate men.

Your pick on whether they’d adulate Dracula, Dio, Lestat, or someone else the most.

Look, even if we agreed somehow that life revolves around sex (and good luck getting any asexuals or demisexuals on board that one), there’s still the question of what sex revolves around. Basically, can we circumvent the middleman?

EDIT: Come to think of it, what’s their grievance with soy? I don’t like tofu, but I do like tempeh, for the record.

They probably consider Basthotep to be Satanic because to your Mk. I Mod. I Christian Fundamentalist, even respecting any divinity other than El/Jesus is giving allegiance to Lucifer.

(Note, by the way, that Bast actually is the neter’s name. What happened was that some Egyptologists began writing her name as Bastt to make it clear that the ending t needed to be pronounced, to avoid confusion with Bes. Problem is, other researchers thought that Kemetic writing really did duplicate the t, meaning there was likely supposed to be a vowel in between...)

I guess you’ve never heard of households that contain three generations, then? Even though I think that was the standard in at least Spain for quite some time? By their lights, our so-called nuclear family is kind of scarified.

BummerDrummer #racist #sexist

The Andeans never developed a wheel (at least not for transportation; I don’t know what the pottery situation, if any, was), but they still came up with an excellent technological base by the time of Spanish landfall. Of course, these being the Andes, wheeled transportation would have been of no help.

Brian Niemeier #wingnut #fundie #mammon

But Christians know that temporal suffering is a chance to cultivate virtue and an invitation to unite our sorrow with Christ's saving Passion. Now that the political window for reversing the decline has closed, our top priorities as Christians should be growing in holiness--which should always be job one--and bringing as many others into the fold as God permits.

1. Explain what purpose holiness has beyond being with God and avoiding Hell.

2. You make it sound like temporal suffering is the only way to be virtuous. I greatly doubt that.

For those curious about the link, it seems to have been taken down, possibly for a breach of terms of service (and given what would have been there, I can believe it). I at first thought the Carr might be William Guy Carr, a more-than-slightly dedicated conspiracist who wrote Pawns in the Game—in the process proving that he took the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion very seriously. I was curious if we could add contempt of blacks to his racism.

Turns out the actual The Tempter of Eve was written by Charles Carroll. Over five hundred pages’ worth of arguing that the basal sin in Eden was Eve taking advice from a “soulless” black woman as an equal, in the process setting the stage for the “ultimate” sin: amalgamation, the early 1900s term for miscegenation. There’s commentary on the book and its theme here: https://creativematter.skidmore.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1071&context=eng_fac_schol .

It’s probably a result of thinking of WASPs as the sole “true” Americans, or something similar. And/or thinking that anyone who isn’t properly godly is going to act reflexively evil. As in, stealing votes despite already having the Electoral College just because it would irk God.

Still probably only one bite before the shark finds that the “seal” has a disgustingly high viscera:fat ratio and unlatches. Still not much fun for the target, but getting devoured isn’t as likely as you think.

I have a hunch this was some MAGA adherent’s idea of creating a motile Trump ad. Watch the manatee, get a “recommendation” in the process.

It’s surprising that Nazis like to think of themselves as superior in every fashion to everyone else, yet make it clear that they’re definitely not superior in refinement. I suppose they’d call refinement, at least past a certain point, “degeneracy” or “decadence”, but I can’t imagine what the syllogism would look like.

If the problem is women not having a moral compass, wouldn’t the solution be to imbue them with such? They end up with much better psyches, and you don’t feel compelled to lead them around any longer. Win-win.

It’s interesting that such ones seem to think we’re either cursed by God, or blessed by God. What has to be done (and/or not done) to be neither blessed nor cursed by him?

EDIT: Come to think of it, I wonder why he can’t see the “awomen” as just a bit of pointed playfulness? Granted it’s bad etymology (“amen” is the Hebrew for “certainly”), but that’s the only “bad” to apply.

If they’re going to retread that, could they at least consider casting Ialdabaoth not as a mustache-twirling villain, but as a Well-Intentioned Extremist who misinterpreted the Aeons as beings like how we interpret Yog-Sothoth, Cthulhu, Abhoth, etc., and is throwing everything he has to both keep us from being devoured by them, and keeping them from infiltrating this refuge?

I think they have, but regard it as too uncertain—they want a guaranteed lifelong bedmate, remember. (“Lover” won’t be an accurate term for long, and the second part of “girlfriend” isn’t something they want.)

David J Stewart #fundie #crackpot

Considering how you define Sin, could you at least explain why it has an effect on the bearer unlike other forms of Disobedience/Headstrongness/Spite/etc.? Whether the one disobeyed is a human or a divinity really shouldn’t matter so much.

Looking at more of the chapter, it seems like James is being hyperbolic in admonishing Christians who engage in worldly frivolities. It’s not depression he’s championing, but full seriousness.

Of course, Stewart probably rejects hyperbole on the grounds that it’s “really” a form of deceit...

Anyway...never progressed, they say?

Kemet. Ghana/Mali/Songhai. Great Zimbabwe. Kongo. Benin. Dahomey. Nubia. Ethiopia. And I’m sure there’s lots more.

Also, they make it sound like females choosing mates is an aberration. Hardly. The whole point of leks, whether those of elk, grouse, manakins, etc. is that all the males in the vicinity have a chance to be considered, without risk of being ignored just by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Male manakins even cooperate in setting up their leks. (That manakins are South American birds, not African, is not important right now.)

Whatever this “simping” is, you may want to consider whether it might be a crucial ingredient to organic life thriving...
