"For some reason, a number of men consistently confuse SSH rank with morality. They can’t seem to wrap their heads around the obvious fact that high status men whom men admire and to whom women are attracted often will do very bad things of which they do not approve, despite the fact that criticizing the awful behavior of various celebrities is a regular pastime for people of their judgmental kind."

Two new meta-analytic studies involving thousands of children and college students show that anxiety has increased substantially since the 1950's. In fact, the studies find that anxiety has increased so much that typical schoolchildren during the 1980's reported more anxiety than child psychiatric patients did during the 1950's.

"The most notable impact of the absence of the legacy media and its virtue-signalling academic pets was that we got to have an actual, robust, masculine, no-holds-barred debate for the first time in at least a decade. The familiar shame-and-ostracize tactics were tried – mainly by centre-right classical liberals who have been trying to force-meme ‘woke right’ for months now – but fell entirely on deaf ears, and served mainly to marginalize the people resorting to such tricks. Instead, the debate focused on verifiable fact, on peoples’ direct experiences, on logical argument, and yes, on rhetoric and memes. Ordinary anon accounts with a few hundred followers were ratioing some of the worlds’ most powerful people, without any intermediation by gatekeepers."

"Originally promoted by an X account that goes by Librarian Mama, Emily Wilson’s translation of The Odyssey came to the internet’s attention with a viral post. The account posted, “‘Oh, you've never read The Odyssey???’ Your timing is perfect. Emily Wilson's translation is the best one in literally ages, has that sweet iambic pentameter to give it a ‘bouncy’ feel, & makes dudebros cry that the classic has ‘gone woke’.”"
