@ainmosni You will never "develop a narrative" that appeals to normal, straight men that your side finds acceptable because one of the cornerstones of leftoid thought is a fundamental hatred of normal masculinity. Normal, healthy straight men will reject you and yours, always, because your side so nakedly and routinely expresses hatred and loathing for them.
It's who you are, it's what you are. Leftist gays hate straights. Leftist gays and women hate straight men. Upper class white leftists hate middle class whites and poor whites. The appeal of modern leftism is it provides those people a socially acceptable way to express their disdain and loathing for those they hate. Your side has vomited out your hatred for people like me, year after year, decade after decade, and then you have the gall to act confused when the inevitable backlash occurs.
Your people have made hatred of me and mine the key component of your identity. To that end you do almost everything imaginable to repel and offend those you designated your enemies. Congratulations, you succeeded. We find you repulsive and offensive. You hate us, really hate us. Congratulations, message received. We are now, finally at this late date, beginning to mirror your sentiment back at you. The universe reflects back at you the things you put out there. Enjoy the monsters you created. This is the world you insisted upon, now choke on it.

@epictittus @RanchWifey I was a kid when grocery stores introduced bar code scanners at the check out. Before that ever item had a sticker with the price on it, and the check out girl punched every number in by hand. I remember my mom and grand mother being very skeptical.
Under the old system, they basically memorized the cost of every item they were buying, and they would watch the check out lady like a hawk to make sure she got all the prices right. They were convinced the new bar code/laser scan system was going to be used by the stores to tack on a few extra cents here and there, and because it all happened in the computer instead of out in the open, they wouldn't know about it until they got home and went over the receipt. Big grocery was going to screw over the little guy with their fancy, sneaky new technology, and rake in millions every year via cheating.

@DW2 A clenched fist still can't hold on to sand.

@Starprophet1 @Spingebill @ACL9000 @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @KarlDahl Below even merchants were the Eta. Basically, Feudal Japan's version of Untouchables. These were the people who did the jobs most agreed needed to be done in a civilized society, but decent people should generally have little or nothing to do with. Examples included butchers, tanners, grave diggers, executioners, the people who took the chamber pots out to the fields, common prostitutes, and actors.
In fact, in the West and East, most pre-industrial societies considered professional actors to occupy roughly the same social strata as prostitutes. They were believed to be flighty, often drunken and degenerate types; debauched and emotionally unstable people with hardly any honor. This is why it's always seemed strange to me that we have turned our "movie stars" into the flag bearers of society. We listen to whatever nonsense opinions they spout, take them seriously, follow their lead in fashion, and hound after gossip about them as if they we somehow important.
But they're not. They're emotionally unstable whores and junkies that happen to look good, are good at pretending to have emotions they don't really feel while speaking words they're not clever enough to come up with on their own.

@judgedread @haberdasher Didn't someone on /pol/ suggest that the rise in autism may be an evolutionary development in response to humans being bombarded by modern sales techniques and constant cultural manipulation perpetrated by intelligence agencies?
Blacks in Africa were constantly exposed to malaria, so developed sickle cell anemia. Modern Westerners are constantly exposed to psy-ops and mind jobs, so we developed higher levels of autism to ward off the effects.

@TrevorGoodchild @DW2 @SpoopyAnon My money is on Biden giving himself and family a blanket pardon as he walks out the door. Such will probably become standard operating procedure for all Presidents from this point until the end of the American empire.

@Starprophet1 I wonder how many times the Russians kick themselves for not selling Elon those rocket motors he asked for.

@brigrammer @Starprophet1 @PopulistRight There's also the intersection of the reality of R&D and government bureaucracy. Look at all the things SpaceX blew up or crashed before they got the Falcon 9 to work on the regular. Bureaucracies are very, very risk adverse. The old Apollo program only got funding because the race to beat the Russians to the moon was considered to be in the national interest, and only then because Kennedy said it was.
Even with that, the motto for NASA was "failure is not an option". If a rocket blew up, it was considered a national embarrassment. We had to get to the moon, now, and everything had to work perfect. If something went wrong, it meant someone's job, some government worker's job.
Once Apollo wound down, the pressing need to further develop space travel faded. They then knew how to get into low orbit, the contractors had that tech down. That's pretty much all the government was willing to pay for, and building those rockets made them money. Their own engineers told them they could do it, but the bean counters were more interested in meeting quarterly profit goals. Developing reusable rockets would have cost them money without any promise of further profit, so they didn't do it. No one wanted to waste the time and money on creating something new when there didn't seem to be a demand for it, and no one wanted to stick their neck out and risk embarrassment if it failed. As is so often the case, it took a no fucks given autist to do what others wouldn't
