But do 7 and 8 year children need books discussing and showing pictures of sexual positions in their library? Some of these books are borderline pornography. A lot of people, (not necessarily you, you seem like a pretty sharp person and I see a lot of your other views) are putting far too much faith in the honesty of the American media.
Bro, please read what the Dutch do for compulsory sexuality education since 2012. Classes begin to be given at age 4 (FOUR!), classes are adjusted to fit children's age and comprehension level, and the covered material include several topics (relationships, appropriate touching, and intimacy). Kids learn the proper names of different body parts by age 7. Gender stereotypes are discussed by age 8. And by the time they are 11, Dutch kids should be able to discuss reproduction, safer sex, and sexual abuse.

Breaking news: Dutch kids don't have their first time any earlier than other European kids because of that curriculum, but they have more positive experiences out of first times and yet have low rates of teen pregnancy. If you ask me, I would feel far more comfortable if kids are taught all of the topics and implications at an earlier age instead of being kept in the dark and thus put at risk of doing something reckless.

I openly curse the Christian right for their willingful ignorance and their actions at enforcing it.

Don't think they can hear you.

Bud light draft sales are down around 23% year over year and have been for almost a couple months now. Case sales are down around 25%. Anheuser Busch is now buying expired cases of beer back from retailers because they can't sell it. Industry experts are saying they've never seen anything like it. Disney stock is down from over $200 probably 18 months to 2 years ago, to around $90 now. They are losing subscribers left right and center and had to fire their CEO and bring in the previous guy out of retirement to try and right the ship. And he is cancelling major projects to make it happen.

These boycotts are actually successful because they are being supported by people on both sides. The right might be more vocal about it, but it's really only a small fraction of the left that actually supports the message being pushed by these companies that produced the backlash in the first place. The tide is turning. These Disney and Bud Light missteps will be a turning point, and we'll be talked about in the future discussions in the education world.
I don't think that's it at all. No one on the left is boycotting and a many support the message. It's just that no one on the left is going to give up European beer and their IPA craft brews just because they support the message to drink piss water with low alcohol content.

CRT, Woke, cancel culture etc. etc. are just terms made up by right wing dark money to sell to their base, because right now they have zero actual policies they're running on. All the new GOP members ran on being anti-woke, anti-crt and pro-guns/jesus/whatever. Absolutely non of it actual helps people. When Trump had republican majority in the Senate, Congress and WH, the only thing he got done was a tax break for the rich. The Democrats have some absolutely useless leaders, but at least there is a growing base that is looking to change this, be it M4A, taking money out of politics, etc. etc. The GOP has none of that.

Woke isn't a thing that would affect anyone that isn't selling themselves on social media, like comedians. Unfortunately they all for the 'theyre out to get us' angle, even though they can literally joke about anything they want, but any sort of consequences to things like Chris D'Lia grooming kids or Callen raping women, they just call it being cancelled.

Of all the practices to target a major company over, imagine being the kind of person to pick support of LGBTQ rights as the one.

Sadly the they’re out to get us angle is working universally. Even here in India but on religious grounds (Hindus are somehow marginalised despite being the dominant majority). I wish the right wing extemist wave would just feck off already.

Eh? Plenty of comics, big and small, think this whole "you can’t joke about anything these days" is idiotic. Bill Burr’s come out and said as much, for example.

Hmmm, I guess words are arbitrary, but it does not make sense.
Well, it comes from people that don't care about sense.

I do not get what ‘based’ means. Help please.
The attitude conveyed by one who's proud individualism is demonstrated by unashamedly holding the usual variety of generic right wing opinions. One that doesn't care if they are considered an asshole for staying true to what they believe in (as long as what they believe in is deplored by the left).

The right are terrifyingly good at cancel culture, ever since the Dixie Chicks/Bush controversy. They can whip up their base into a frenzy on culture war stuff with staggering efficiency.

There is something in this.

My theory is that it's a psyop to reverse Uno being a grumpy middle aged man into somehow being counter culture and make conservativism cool to younger people or psychologically attractive to contrarians or people with problems with authority

What? You posted me the definition literally yesterday!
I still don't totally get it. Was called it the other day as a compliment (I think), but only hear it as word used by the right. The UD definition didn't clear up my confusion.

I should have white texted that 'I have no idea if the thread is based or not.'

Such a based thing to do.

So I guess 'based' is good (in alt-right)?

I shouldn't have said "they all", but many in Rogans circle definitely do. The whole "We can't talk about that anymore" even though no one will say anything if its edgy but also funny. I listen to the MMP, and while ole freckles doesn't complain about cancel culture anywhere near as much as Rogan/Bert/etc., he does still have some bad takes on the subject here and there.

Rogan’s cultivated a certain profile in who he surrounds himself with, but as an amateur comedian I hear very little of it here or on my travels. It’s also evident that you can still get away with a lot of stuff that the current media zeitgeist would tell you is beyond the pale. Most people live in the middle, not in these extremes.

Anyhoo, just my experience, obviously. And if "they all" was a bit more forceful than what you meant then I have no issue, really.

I had this email forwarded to me by a family member:


Despite the massive popular backlash against corporations incessantly shoving drag queens down our throats, the Banksters' trans agenda is not skipping a beat.



Bud Light's sales have plunged 25% since the launch of their Dylan Mulvaney campaign six weeks ago. In response to a similar boycott threat, Target was forced to remove "tuck friendly" women's swimsuits that enable men to hide their genitalia, along with an assortment of anti-cishet propaganda pieces by avowed Satanist designer, Eric Carnell.



Lubricating all of this (no pun intended) is what venture capitalist, David Sacks calls the "Hegemony of the Professional Class".



Sacks explains that two-thirds of the country is Working Class and only one-third of the country is Professional Class, which he defines as possessing at least one college degree.



He says the Professional Class holds beliefs and values that are at odds with the Working Class, because they've spent 4 years in reeducation camps run by the far left. This has resulted in a democracy in which most of the people don't agree with the agenda that's being foisted on them by their institutions.



As for the gay community, drag queens and transgender individuals constitute a small minority that is not representative of the whole. This corporate insistence on equating homosexuals with drag queens reduces the former to these cartoonish and hysterical stereotypes, much the same way that drag queens mock, caricature and seemingly despise women.



But nothing is stopping North Face from piling on with this super campy Pride Month campaign. Why?



It's because mega corporations must participate in these Baphomet rituals in order to abide by the World Economic Forum's ESG and DEIcommandments or they will lose access to credit.



In other words, they're not shoving trans down our throats because they believe that alienating their customers is good marketing or because they believe that such initiatives actually support gay people. They're doing it out of greed and fear.



This is what makes it all so horrifically fake, forced and – corporate.



With Pride Month starting in a week, we can expect to be treated to a smörgåsbord of Corporate Wokeness the likes of which we've never seen.



The Banksters' credit system currently ranks businesses according to their Diversity Training and Equity scores, whereby the more Blacks and LGBTQ employees by ratio, the greater the score.



Creditworthiness is also measured by whether a corporation forces its employees to go to two-week CRT training camps. So obviously, the more woke their advertising campaigns, the more Bankster Brownie Points.



Credit scores are bestowed by the International Business Council (IBC), a division of the World Economic Forum. In 2020, the IBC identified a set of core ESG Metrics which were delivered to major corporations and banks across the globe. These Stakeholder Capitalism Metrics were to be built into the operating mechanism whereby all corporate employees must comply or be fired.



The IFRS Foundation is tasked with measuring each corporate score. KPMG audits the credit scores. Moody's ranks the company accordingly.



Companies that do not comply with the WEF's criteria per a KPMG audit are heavily fined, their Moody's rating lowered, and their ability to obtain bank loans is destroyed. This is what Helena Glass calls "Executive Blackmail".



Major corporations are being forced to self-destruct in order to maintain their credit ratings, as part of the same Orchestrated Civilizational Collapse that is shutting down the farms, blowing up the food processing plants, turning off the pipelines and the power plants and imposing zero carbon on a planet of carbon-based life forms.
