That'll continue to be the case until the problem is redressed, much like minorities rioting and, in essence, burning down their own communities to protest things.

I agree some extreme feminists can be pretty bad, but why not just vote for reasonable moderate feminists, as opposed to absolute nutjobs who oppose feminism? Why not vote for the Tories or Change UK?


There is no such thing as a reasonable and moderate white supremacist. Legitimizing feminism in any degree is an act of misandry, given the history of the movement and how it has been practiced.

During Denazification, 80% of Germans said what happened to the Jews could not in any way be justified and was inexcusable. Yet 70% said they wanted a new fuhrer and believed National Socialism was a good idea.

We don't let rabble define ideologies and their outcomes. Stop letting "Ordinary" feminists define what feminism is, and take a look at the actual way it governs a populace and specifically how badly it harms men. It's a hate movement defined by its anti-male policies and stances. The feminists who don't agree with those policies simply haven't fully thought through the implications of the kind of hateful bullshit they believe and how it inevitably ends up with these outcomes, same as those Germans.

This idea you are pushing can equally be used to call genocide a fringe minority position of Naziism and in no way definitive of how it operates.

In terms of policy and practice, the evidence is fairly overwhelming that feminism is an anti-male hate movement.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

Yes, he'll definitely do that as an isolated MEP, if he takes office at all.


It's a strike against the general progressive movement, which includes feminism.

The core worldview and ideological tenets are necessarily anti-male in their framing of what sexism is, how it works, and so on, as well as the prevalence of mens issues. Vaguely wanting a strong germany doesn't make you a Nazi. Vaguely wanting equality doesn't make you a feminist.

The pretense otherwise is just that, pretense.

Moreover, pretending feminism "Is an equality movement" in itself necessitates an anti-male evaluation of what feminism has accomplished. Like if someone said; "The Klan is historically not a racist movement.". The obvious conclusion to draw is that the speaker is either very ignorant, or very racist.

Even supposing what you said about feminists were true, I am pretty sure nobody outside the far-left supports such misandrist garbage. The Tories and Change UK are NOT far-left.

What would the core worldview and tenets of feminism be in your estimation.

Under one definition of feminism, anyone who wants gender equality and women's rights is a feminists, so you and I are both feminists under that definition. You may reject that definition, but it is a definition.

It's a good example of how discussion has been made impossible by the progressive left and their tactics. Those opposed to them are forced to use issues like Brexit to make a point and gather support, because you can obfuscate using it.

It's a "Today is wednesday" thing.

It's why brexiteers don't care about the economy, but focused on economic arguments, don't really believe the sovereignty guff, and so on. Progressives are stuck trying to explain that brexiteers are factually in error when none of them actually care about that, because they have made having differing values verbotten and engage in witch hunts against people who do.

It's like arguing productivity will increase on slave plantations if we remove all weaponry from the premises. No amount of facts about how that is nonsense will convince the people arguing it, because they are not sincerely arguing it. They're doing it to fuck you over. You basically banned talking about abolitionism, so now we're pretending to be moron slavers engaged in self-harm.

To be a brexiteer is to dogwhistle having a seperate value set. The economy, the sovereignty, it's all bollocks. It's clearly bollocks. Nobody cares. The difference is, i'm comfortable admitting that is the case and being a little more open about it rather than playing pretend.

The Brexit party is not just about Brexit. You're confusing noise for the signal. That's the consequence of the way the progressive left has behaved. Dogwhistles, obfuscating language, and so on. They'll claim it's about brexit in order to signal a particular stance, but in reality it's broader and you can tell from the discussions being had when they aren't being bothered by progressives and neoliberals.

When those types talk to them, it's about brexit.

Very little, save an advisery impact. However, UKIP Wales had a set of policy practises that were entirely different in some regards to the mainstream of ukip, and from the people who have defected to the Brexit party it seems to suggest that these are the policies they will continue again. Obviously, we can't be entirely sure as to party policy until the manifesto is published after the elections but it's been made pretty clear that the Brexit party will have a full policy platform (not a manifesto, Nigel Farage hates the word.)

The tactic itself is morally neutral, and an obvious way for people to behave in the face of censorship, witch hunts, and the kind of behavior the progressive left have used. Thieves Cant is another example of it, as is linguistic tricks black slaves used and so on.
