This is actually really smart and good. The guy who wrote this is literally just hatebrowsing a couple of incel accounts he knows and then is writing about his hobby at the government's expense.
Badass.

Allow me to explain a very simple - but apparently very challenging - concept to you.
Just because feminism fucks up society, culture, the relation between the sexes, the justice system etc, does not actually mean that women have an easy, blissful time in public. In fact, in many countries, women are much worse off and much more unsafe than they have been in decades. Sweden is an obvious example. In Britain, a million schoolgirls were groomed and raped, and it should be noted that the total population of Britain is just 65 million. And, of course, this is just looking at underage girls.
Do you have any female relatives? Have you ever asked them to tell you about what it's like to walk around in a large modern city? It's not easy, and it's far from safe, even if you are homely. And it's much worse for beautiful women.
You need to understand that not everything is simplistic and one dimensional, like a little slider that can either be set to "good" or to "bad". There are many categories in which a society can be good for women or bad for women; good for both sexes, or bad for both, or either.

My dream is to one day write the most racist novel ever written, and then to have thousands of papers written by liberal literary critics trying to interpret my work as a queer-friendly, inclusive, intersectional and progressive work that "pushed important boundaries despite its problematic aspects".

It's not a grammatical error, it's a vocabulary error and is therefore very emblematic of OP's general stupidity. Since he cannot even properly define and use words in an everyday context, how do you expect him to use words philosophically in order to attain knowledge and intellectual growth? It's impossible. Hence why he's been filtered.

Yep, everybody knows that correctness and knowledge is measured in dollars. More dollars = better. It's basic truth that even the most primitive mind can perceive. Or perhaps, rather, a "basic truth" accessible solely and exclusively to primitive minds.

Might is right is on its face such a dumb principle that I doubt even midwits could hold it. At the same time, lowwits don't really think either, so it seems that might is right is only the principle for people in the 90-105 IQ range. Anyone dumber than that is not capable of reflecting on principles at all, and anyone smarter than that would immediately realise that using power prudently requires defining what the prudent use of power is, or in other words, devising some sort of principles which justify and direct the use of might in an optimal way.
The only semi-reasonable excuse for this bullshit that I've seen is (IIRC) Joel Davis' claim that "might makes right" is a historical claim, quite unlike "might is right" and its ethical claim. In the limited field of setting the historical record, it is certainly reasonable to claim that "might makes right" - in many cases, contrary to what is actually true, correct and right.

I’ve read both the Republic and the Five dialogues extensively. Where do I go from here? Do I keep reading the Greeks? I have Beyond Good and Evil and Thus Spoke Zarathustra, but this board has convinced me to not read them until I’ve built a stronger philosophical base.
