Life lessons from Verdi

Our feminist PC culture damns the past as a boiling, filthy cauldron of sexism-racism-homphobia and class oppression where everything was a lie and an abuse of power, where almost no one knew anything true about human nature, and where everyone was shamefully barbaric.

It's a very arrogant, self-flattering view that dismisses thousands of years of human history and millions of people who were at least as human and perceptive as people walking around today. This same culture that we live in now is at least as full of lies and moralistic browbeating and dishonest social conventions as any culture that's ever existed. It's just that today's moralistic terror campaigns are coming from people like the "new church" of media and academic feminists.

It's always amusing to me how much the psychos at places like Jezebel resemble Carrie Nation and the temperance movement. The temperance crowd was ultimately mostly about hating men and trying to ruin whatever good time they were having. The Jezebelers are the same. They just wear big-framed glasses to look intellekshul for their icon photo and say "fuck" about 30 times in every post to show how free and rebellious they are.

In actual fact, people in the past were often much more free to candidly discuss the sexes and human behaviour than we are now. So much is "forbidden" now and so many are on a hair-trigger waiting to be "offended" and go into a neurotic witch-burning frenzy against those who violate laws of political correctness. I think things have started to turn but it's still almost impossible to find honesty and truth in the public square of mass media. The bullshit factor in American life is massive.

Will fifty years of man-hating feminism erase sexual truths that have existed for thousands of years? I doubt it. But it will continue on in bad faith and keep on creating enormous damage.

tl;dr - People trash the past because it disproves their lies today. Power-mad manipulators and liars are always with us. They just change style and tactics. But human nature will out.

Norwegian Wood - Beatles.

This too.

And most of Bob Dylan.

Well, while the Duke is singing that, he's on his way to fuck his mistress, soon after seducing the naive virgin Gilda, the daughter of Red-Pill Rigoletto who tried to keep her hidden from the Duke and his cronies.

Duke == 100% alpha sociopath. The number is intended to point out his shameless hypocrisy.

In the end, the good dad who wakes up to reality ends up driven with guilt and despair, and dead daughter by his own hand of course.
