In fact, men don't seem to get "rowdy" at all anymore, now that I think about it.
It's actually noteworthy to see young men really cutting loose really anywhere I go. Young guys don't speak candidly, they don't drink much, they don't go out much, you just barely see them.
Wasn't that long ago (and I'm not that old) that there were regular hell-raising bonfires, nights out 'honkytonking,' you name it, we were out there doing it. County to county, just having plain old fun, drinking beers, singing old Hank on the Jukebox, whatever.
Literally any time I go out now, I'm drinking exclusively with men in their 60's or older. Maybe some bring their wives, some don't. But at my local pub you're practically more likely to see a moose out front (which is very rare) than you are to see a group of young men really getting down and having fun.
Genuinely sad when you think about it.

It's true: the men I meet at most Catholic Churches do seem to be fairly timid, measured, even nervously pious. Trad or not, it's very often the case. Nothing wrong with that at all -- but we're sorely lacking in Catholic rowdies and ruffians. We need some medieval-type mannerbund energy going on at our Churches. Bring back the post-Mass cask of ale; unbutton the top button for once and speak candidly, say your piece, linger long at the tavern, make the boys all raise their glasses when you walk in. I don't mind temperately sipping coffee and nerding out about theology in the Parish basement for thirty minutes after Mass, but at some point, we've all gotta break out of that and really let loose in the way that men ought to.

@TWGermAggo @88MikeOxlong @Wrath_of_Will @rhodes_mzra @fleshsimulator Mike and I went hard at BYU back in 09. Violently heterosexual. You wouldn't fit in.

Whenever RW accounts get doxxed it's because there was a data breach connecting their anonymous $50,000 donation to a children's leukemia research center to their old Yale email address, and whenever LW accounts get doxxed it's because they were posting full face pics with their license plate visible through their window to the /r/PoopPuppies babyfur scat community

@Wrath_of_Will @rhodes_mzra @fleshsimulator I don't understand this not having a father thing. Seems like projection.

@siuansanche10 @KottuKadeNeko I am a china apologist but I wouldn't want to be in any camp of any sort period.

@TWGermAggo @KottuKadeNeko Reeducation camps are extremely mild in China get real lol

Heartwarming: CCP lets serial rapist and abuser who helped usher in an industrial slave state, almost double the size of Texas, off the hook

What is the “ill-behavior” you see in this post?
Cassie Pritchard@hecubian_devil
I think you were actually just dumb and ill-behaved, tbh. I don’t think actually-smart kids experienced this. They were generally liked and pampered by teachers.

@fleshsimulator I think it's because they looked at his good reads and realized he has decent taste.

@TWGermAggo They jumped straight to going after my family lol

@KottuKadeNeko @siuansanche10 Yeah they left out they whole 10 years in a reeducation camp

A common rebuttal to gifted boy discourse on here is "um actually you were more likely just dumb and difficult," but the odds of someone genuinely "dumb" (like sub-90 IQ) finding their way to this part of X are extremely low. Sorry, but you're going to have to accept that these are nearly all 120-125+ IQ boys sharing their experiences and work from there
English
Something to keep in mind with the endless "smart kid" discourse - and IQ of 120 is about 10% of the gen pop (around 15% of the white/asian pop), and 120 is a common cutoff for "gifted" in schools. Then you think about the type of person who posts in this part of twitter - where you need strong literacy, have interest in abstract arguments/news/philosophy/geopolitics- and you're dealing with a group that almost certainly has a higher percentage of 120 IQs and above than the typical population (both left and right wing people). So yeah, it does stand to reason that this section of X would indeed have a higher than typical proportion of "gifted" level boys

@bonchieredstate There seems to be a third religion you're leaving out?
English
The fact that he keeps using Lebanon as a positive example of Muslims and Christians living together, when the Christian population there has been persecuted and reduced to just 30% of the country, is an issue.
He seems to always grade Islam on a curve.

I genuinely stopped being a left winger because I never received an actual answer on why this is necessary.
And according to every left winger on earth, it is not only necessary, but the entire purpose of the post world order.

London has gone from 98% White British to 36% White British in a 60 year time period. This is the biggest demographic shift Britain if not the world has ever seen.

@QuetzalPhoenix It's cheap labor. It's that simple. You don't even have to read anything to know that. Common sense.

"Education" as we know it today is an extremely recent idea, the "sitting in class" 100 years ago would've been primarily for kids smarter than the average pupil today and certainly much smarter than you

Do right-wingers understand that 100 years ago you had to sit still in class too?

@MischievousCur You're a furry so, probably should have been some sort of enforced therapy.

What if you got prodded by a psychologist, eventually tested +2 SD and everyone just shrugged their shoulders and put you in "anger management" counseling as a conciliatory measure because your family was too poor to pull you out of public school. Asking for a friend.

Sorry guys but you were not likely 130 IQ, you were just neurodivergent and unlikable

@_SatanWatch It's really easy to be good at school and minimize the amount of work that is required of you. If you couldn't figure that out it is a skill issue.

I haven't felt like commenting on any of the school discourse today because I've already made my position crystal clear in the past.
