Before you read this, no rhanting and raving. Read my blog post on observing with the ego disengaged first π
I like to explore the depths of reddit. I then stumbled across this reddit againstmensrights (6500 users) it then links to who series of anti sites. One of the moderators of the mentioned site happens to be the moderator of some sort of DND gaming site which has approximately 22k users.
The first thing I noticed is the reddit has a sticky post which is linked to a crowdsourcing project, according to the sticky they are in the process of actually registering with the IRS to becomes a charitable organization. The post then states that once it gets IRS approval it will start to look for corporate sponsors. From the crowdsourcing site it appears they have actually managed to get private sponsors.
A cursory glance over the posts reveals that their various anti rights sites have no logical justification besides men's rights groups are filled full of hate. All of the sites then seem to dig up examples of hate from various groups they monitor. Their tactic is actually quite brilliant, real "hate sites" like storm front etc actually attempt to have some logical basis on why they hate certain groups or races. As a result you can have some sort of debate with them. On the other hand the "anti men's rights" groups do not attempt to have any logical basis, as a result a conventional debate will not work.
Gentlemen let me state this again conventional debate will not work .
With the invention of microaggessions pretty much any statement can be taken as hatefilled. "Hitler is short" - can be interpreted to why do I hate short people. If I happened to meet Stalin, I then showed him a Russian newspaper and asked him "Can you read this ?" that could be interpreted as "I hate Russians" or maybe "I hate Stalin".
What is interesting is they are openly stating that specific groups should be denied rights, they are no even trying to hide it. If anyone can find other examples of these sites I would be interested so I can study them.
As I stated earlier conventional debate will not work . That does not mean that I am against people feeling hatred and rhanting, it is a natural response and it has its place. But the rhanting and hate can cloud your judgement.
Using a historic example, they have a machinegun. We have nothing more then spears and simple shields The British when they where colonizing Rhodesia killed over 50,000 Zulu warriors in an afternoon with a handful of machineguns. A few of the British soldiers where injured when one of the machineguns overheated and exploded. The Zulus where mighty brave a warriors, it takes a lot of balls to charge a machinegun head on. The reason why the Zulus died like flies is because they allowed thier egos to cloud their judgement. A machinegun can be defeated, but requires different tactics and new inventions. After 3 years of trench warfare during WW1 and repeating the experiment countless times, the miliaries then clued in that doing a frontal attack on machineguns does not work. They then looked for unconventional methods for example they invented tanks.
Wikipedia definition of microaggression theory. Theory in a nutshell, certain groups of people, primarily men are filled full of hate but do not know it. According to this theory a hatefilled person will express their hate in extremely short bursts, so short they can not be seen. And the hatefilled person might not even know they are filled full of hate.

Actual examples of microagressions. Again attempt to read these with your ego disengaged. They are comical.

Anyway this is my hatefilled post for this morning <heavy sarcasm>. You are all supposed to go <ha ha ha>.
For 4 years from 1938 till 1941 the world stood back and watched while Britain went toe to toe with the mightest war machine ever constructed. The other superpowers including USA and the Soviet Union stood back and watched. To win this war the Nazis knew they had to starve Britian and then attempt to destroy its factories and workers. The real heros where the men and women who worked in these factories. Despite being constantly being hungry, and then having their homes destroyed by an enemy they could not see or strike back against. Every morning after the bombing raids where over they would cry out Is that the best the Nazis can do ? and then laugh.
