(the above image is from one of the articles I’m referencing) I’d heard that some, Like Owen Benjamin, [http://www.hugepianist.com/] have run-ins with pedophile defenders, and anyone paying attention knows that outlets that can reasonably be referred to as “mainstream” like Salon have put out articles defending pedophiles. [http://archive.is/ttVNy]I haven’t had the… no, it’s not “pleasure”… of running into anyone so willing to minimize or outright defend pedophilia. Until last night. Had a run…

Honda’s first bike introduced to the US market was, at best, unreliable. But they found a product that they could sell. And they…
Been mulling this one over a bit. I’d seen Jordan Peterson and Stefan Molyneux weigh in on this, the latter, as usual, at great length: So, OK. Molyneux has also mentioned a number of times how daycare culture, and leaving your kids behind a few hours a day, has the same emotional impact on them as abandoning them. He’s repeatedly noted that the clingy, needy, narcissistic, affirmation seeking (not merely attention seeking , though they’ll take bad attention too) generation we have now maps to…
In the light of comicsgate, magic-gate, and other social justice attacks, as well as them going after developers and artists for not clapping loudly enough, it’s worth looking at what we can do above and beyond supporting alt-tech.
