💔 Some cultures & subcultures are rape prone, rape tolerate, or rape intolerant. There are also sociological differences, including groupthink, in how those cultures process the aftermath of alcohol inebriation towards violence or benevolence ❤️‍🩹

Your favorite Anthropic so-called "whistleblower" said that the rationalists have "specialized minds" that allow them to see that the end is about to be brought on to us by a magical machine god. Parroting the cult leader (of the rationalists, the R in TESCREAL) who says the same about himself.
His autobiography even opens with a parable: as a small child he threw his favorite squirtgun off a third-floor balcony rather than accept that his mother could lend out what was his, and felt complete when he heard it hit the pavement. He goes on to describes himself as a specialist in the technological transformation of the human species, one of the few people alive with the standing to steer it. He identifies with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the one person who sees the danger clearly and has to act while everyone else gets on with ordinary life.

Cornell, LSU, the Burnerverse, Clavicular…just one week. Men are putting their impunity and cruelty on display so brazenly. Humiliating/punishing women has always gone on, but now rape is networked, scalable, monetized. Our systems aren’t failing, tho, they’re doing what they are designed to do.

There are undeniable strains of Amber Heard and Gamergate to this. Women creators who are speaking out in support of feminism and to advocate for postpartum healthcare are being targeted with an outpouring of extremely violent misogynistic rhetoric. They’re channeling support to end women’s rights.

Quote floating over flowers and greenery drenched in dew says: Soraya Chemaly

We are living through the largest exodus from patriarchy ever. I know things feel bleak but it's important to register this.

Every day, more people understand how everyone is hurt by the supremacist belief systems that sustain patriarchal institutions and identities. Backlash is so violent and extreme not because we are losing, but because we are successfully challenging everything, everywhere.
