1. >>11631523
>Nobody understands women not even themselves
is entirely correct. but man doesnt understand man either.
as the saying goes, if we were simple enough to be understandable, we would be too simple to understand anything.

it's quite easy to answer: how to understand a (particular) man (or woman)? -- but to understand "men" or "women" as platonic ideals is a bit of a misnomer.

im not saying men and women are the same, but there are women who i'd say i share more of that ineffable "essence" with than some men. So these "ideals" are -- at most -- slightly shifted loci, not primary categorisations of Human; a rich man has more in common with a rich woman than to a poor man. A sick man.yada yada. A saintly man yada yada.

But there are differences: eg
- female aggression is passive, silent and long-lasting
- male aggression is violent, unambiguous and sudden

you might have a bit of confirmation bias. I note all these things are primarily concerned with the heterosexual interactions between men and women. That is, I assume (and do say if I'm wrong) you've observed that women you interact with with play mind-games more than the men you interact with. That might be because of a difference in men and women. Or it might be that your interactions with women are more likely to be romantic or sexual, than those with men. And that mind-games in romantic or sexual relations are more prevalent than in professional or platonic relations.

if it is an essential difference between men and women: ask yourself why? why might a woman (think of example women that you know) be more subtle about their attraction, or more timid in their rejection -- than a man might be free to be?

Yeah women are the ones that play mind games in romantic relationships. I've never done any kind of stupid "shit test" type stuff before to a women. I don't know any man who has either, yet if you ask any guy about this shit he'll know exactly what you're talking about because of how common it is.

>why might a woman (think of example women that you know) be more subtle about their attraction, or more timid in their rejection -- than a man might be free to be?
That's who whole fucking thing though: girls are just as free to do whatever they want nowadays, that was the entire point of uprooting our society with feminism in the first place. No girl in her teens or twenties in this country that I've interacted with has grown up in a society where they aren't free to not act ridiculous, but they keep on doing it. It's like 99.99% of them are completely unconscious of how crazy they act. And even when you come across the types who are like "women are all crazy get used to it", I genuinely don't think they understand what is meant by it and they're just saying that because they've heard men say it. If they're going to act like this then why did we give them equal rights in the first place, y'know? Like fuck, if you want the same rights as a man then don't play all these stupid fucking mind games.

>> No.11634046

>>11633945
>if you ask a guy
do you talk to women about what they are subjected to in a relationship?

Maybe you're right that men are subjected to more "mind-games" than women; and "mind-games" isn't a nice thing to be subjected to. But neither is, say, domestic violence and murder -- which women are subjected to more than men.

When you say "girls are just as free to do whatever they want nowadays":
You're talking about "equal rights" so I assume you mean legal freedom .
(side note:
>If they're going to act like this then why did we give them equal rights in the first place, y'know?
is ridiculous. Because, by definition, rights are morally unconditional. The very fact that some men (eg. you?) consider their legal rights to be conditional on agreeableness to men they are intimate with -- is why the struggle to secure these rights (just like the struggle to secure the rights even men haven't always enjoyed) continues.)

if you really *do* wish to understand women, read There's a Good Girl by M Grabrucker

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Theres-Good-Girl-Gender-Stereotyping/dp/0704340909


I'm not sure of your philosophical intutions -- so I don't know how well you take the suggestion that you are very much determined by your environment and upbringing.

Female behaviour (like almost all human behaviour) is learnt at an early age.

So think again: why might women be
1. more subtle in expressing attraction
2. more timid in rejecting sexual/romantic proposals
that is "mind-games"?

>But neither is, say, domestic violence and murder -- which women are subjected to more than men
I don't know a single woman who's ever been the subject of domestic abuse or murder. I've never even come close to threatening it on any girl I've been in a relationship with and yet they play these games with everyone. I know a guy who has been subject to domestic abuse from a girl, but not the other way around. The worst part was that he couldn't hit her back, because as soon as they get one bruise they can just tell the police that he started it and he's fucked. And this is kind of my whole point. The entire system is set up to protect women and give them preferential treatment whenever possible in a non-explicit way, yet women still fucking take advantage of it. If it's in their nature to do this, then I guess I don't believe they should be treated the same as how men are treated by legally.

>Because, by definition, rights are morally unconditional. The very fact that some men (eg. you?) consider their legal rights to be conditional on agreeableness to men they are intimate with -- is why the struggle to secure these rights (just like the struggle to secure the rights even men haven't always enjoyed) continues.)
You're comparing apples and oranges here. Obviously if I'm saying that women and men should be afforded different rights, it's because it's morally justifiable. If the way things are now is the result of affording men and women the same explicit rights, then affording them the same explicit rights is immoral.

>you are very much determined by your environment and upbringing
Oh it certainly has an impact on how you express your preferences, but tabula rasa is pretty widely discredited at this point in time. From what I've read, it's at the very least 50-50 nature vs nurture, if not then 60-40 leaning towards nature.

>So think again
I understand from an evolutionary standpoint why women evolved to act the way they act, but if they cant overcome this in a society where they are de jure given equal rights and de facto given preferential treatment legally, then I don't think they should be equal rights to begin with. It seems immoral and unfair to men.

im gonna start with:
>I understand from an evolutionary standpoint why women evolved to act the way they act, but if they cant overcome this in a society yada yada

firstly: it kinda contradicts your other point about 60-40 nature-nurture. women have evolved to be more timid around men because their female ancestors who weren't were violently attacked. okay you understand this.

the point is that REGARDLESS of the proportion of nature-nurture that effects our behaviours -- all our behaviours are inherited. either in our genes from our parents, or via our upbringing (by our parents) and the society constructed by our predecessors.

you vastly underestimate the extent to which these behaviours are instilled in boys and girls at a young age.

true: a man who attacks a woman is punished more severely than vice versa (and this should be changed! and we can change that without stripping women of their rights!)

but a 4 year old boy who fights his fellow classmates is punished less severely than a girl. and it's the conditioning at THAT age which matters. certainly for something as "primal" as violence

but look,

> it kinda contradicts your other point about 60-40 nature-nurture
How so?

>you vastly underestimate the extent to which these behaviours are instilled in boys and girls at a young age.
No, you vastly overestimate it. David Reimer's case is a pretty damn definitive case study on how behavioral differences between boys and girls are genetic to a significant degree.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Reimer

>but a 4 year old boy who fights his fellow classmates is punished less severely than a girl.
I don't think that's true at all, I spend years of my life working in childcare and little girls who got in fights didn't face any punishment that was exceptionally worse than little boys, and certainly nothing close to the way the disparity in how the legal system treats men in domestic disputes, divorce, etc.

>> No.11634400

>>11634376

because if to the extent that our actions are determined by genetics -- we can't use the """safety""" of women now to say that their behaviour is irrational. because their behaviour is optimised for the environment of their ancestors -- which is quite dangerous

>If you don't have the same values as me and don't come to the same conclusions as me then you're a FUCKING INCEL who HATES WOMEN
It's always the same shit from you people. My Boomer dad has been married to my mom for over 30 years, they've got 3 kids together, but when I get a few too many beers in him he'll let slip that he doesn't think women should be allowed to vote. My buddy's been dating the same girl since high school and they're probably going to end up getting married, he's one of the most sexist, anti-semitic people I know (of course she also happens to be a Jew which kind of adds to the hilarity of the situation). I've had 2 long-term girlfriends in my 5 or 6 years since high school and I personally think female suffrage was a mistake. You can sit there and think sexists are virginal basement-dwellers and that they must hate women, but in my experience it's the opposite. I don't want women to be allowed to vote the same reason I don't want toddlers to be allowed to drive. And you know what? The fact that you think that only incels think this way shows that you don't have a whole lot of practical experience dealing with men.

>> No.11638883

I started hating women as a virgin and only hate them more after having successfully dated several times. I don't hate individual women, really, but women as a whole are very damaged people and definitely should have nothing to do with the political process.

I'm all for equal opportunity, but we have to face the facts that 95% of women are never going to want to do anything with their lives other than be pampered parasites. It's just the way their minds work by default. Until a woman substantiates that she is capable of being treated like a full human, like a man basically, she should be treated like a child, second class citizen.

The term 'minorities', I have now concluded, purely exists to goad simple Whites into not recognising the demographic threat to their civilisations.

Its aim is unambiguously to procastinate and downplay the impending winter that faces them - "oh, it's okay, they're _minorities_, they are the non-majority and sub-group", the term implies a kind of essential and unchanging quality of lesserness to nonWhites, effectively shielding Whites who use the term from realising that based on the current trajectory it is Whites who will be getting brutalised in less than half a century from now in the countries they founded. The thought does not even enter their minds, in this way they are almost a kind of descriptive White supremacist.

Only misunderstanding will come to those who understand definitions in terms of their circumstantial as opposed to essential characteristics. The term may be validly used for sexual minorities, which, due to selective pressures, will always form a fringe population, but such can clearly not be said for other races.

>The USA will not a majority-anything in the future

Irrelevant. The term as it is used in sole reference to non-Whites implies a kind of essential quality of majority to the Whites, which simply is not true. Additionally, using the relative definition of majority, that being the largest of all groups, Mestizos and Amerindians could easily become the majority in the USA given the right pressures. Your cavalier lack of apprehension at the numbers only supports my case.

Additionally, due to power dynamics, the White former populations acts as a rallying point for all nonWhite races in the USA to work against. Black, brown, yellow - they all vote blue.

>america has always been a fuck-pit of random races

89% White does not sound like a "fuck-pit" to me, but you are entitled to your standards.

>Whites will only become non-majority in USA

Majority nonWhite immigration almost necessitates an eventual White absolute minority, for it'd require not only stable but considerably high White birth rates to offset such demographic changes.

Non ethno-centric behaviours are not conducive to Darwinistic survival, even though this may seem counter-intuitive to modern Westerners.

Those who act in an egalitarian manner reproduce less than those who do not. We know this for two reasons:

>1 Humans are 'racist', therefore there must have been selective pressures in the past to favour one's own
>2 Using predictive algorithms and similar studies, it is shown that genes that promote ethno-centric behaviour come to dominate their gene pools.

Regarding 2, the order of strategies most heavily selected for go:

>Ethno-centric
>Humanitarian
>Selfish
>Traitorous

also does you defintion of "culture" includes ethnicity? or does your definition of race depend on culture?

In the game, you influence other countries by tourism, and to a certain extent they are forced to comply with your social policies due to its influence over their citizenry. So, you can think of it as adding +5 culture units per year, or what have you.

To the extent that any cultural attitude is heritable, the races, unless dominated by another race's culture generation on generation, will deviate slightly from its influences.

Let's take violence for example. X group commits more violence than Y group, but Ys frown upon violence and so it is socially stigmitised. Due to the genetics of X, however, they commit more crime.

If then left to depart from one another, X would commit more crime. Thereby, crime would be a bit more normalised and accepted on the first generation. It's like the +5 culture from the Y group has been taken away, and so the X group starts to influence itself. Even if violence is only 40% heritable, or similarly low, it will necessary tend towards the genetic mean 40% of the way with each generation.

Well, keep in mind that the country is not run in a democratic fashion, and the Han Chinese essentially dominate. Also keep in mind that Indonesia is also highly ethnically diverse, albeit not racially.

Now, looking at Singapore specifically might suggest that, but we're only dealing with a sample size of ~4 countries. Looking at the whole world more broadly, ethnic diversity is inversely correlated with economic wellbeing.

Singapore is better because it is 75% Han Chinese and the neighbours are low IQ Muslim jungle Asians.

If you would take a small African country and replace 75% of the population with Danes it would also become the best country in the region, and it wouldn't be because of the other 25%.

Also, maintaining culture as we know it is incredibly difficult.

Take rule of law - universal is not just something that if desired spawns from the air. Rule of law requires a certain level of economic wellbeing to run the necessary court system, a well-maintained education system, a lack of corruption in politics, and well-designed political infrastructure.

Even if Sub-Saharan Blacks wanted property rights, consistent law, and a lack of corruption amongst the police, I don't think it would be possible for them to create such a system given their national iq.

Well, I guess you could say the jungle asians have certainly benefited from the Han Chinese, even if they live in a foreigner's country.

Sure, and the 'refugees' in Europes greatly benefit from the natives that pay for their welfare. Meanwhile the Europeans enjoy much increased violent crime rates, terrorist attacks and general unrest.

Working class whites actually suffered from having to compete with unpaid slave labour.

And whites in America still suffer from the the presence of blacks to this day in the form of financial drain, affirmitive action and lots of (violent) crime.

European conception of law dates back to the Roman Republic. Clearly Europeans have progressed, I'm saying that other races cannot mimic Europeans in this regard, even if they wanted to.

Okay, I will give an analogy to try and communicate what I mean.

Let's say you have two high jumpers - one is 7 feet tall whereas the other is 4'5", and let's say they have ten jumps each at 2 meters.

Clearly the taller jumper may fail to jump over the limit from time to time, but the problem is that the 4'5" is never going to be able to get past that length. It is not even an option for him.

So, to an extent, being of a certain height is going to be a prerequisite for a certain height that can be reached. Being of a certain race is going to be a prerequisite for a kind of culture that can be reached.

It's Civilisation Five, and you should buy it if you're a general fan of turn-based strategy games, but if you're into history, it isn't for you. It's kind of pleb-tier, and has virtually no historical grounding other than trivial unique traits to each civilistion. E.g. America can purchase land for half the usual price, in reference to the Louisiana purchase, and England's ships can travel farther than everyone else's.

You can get mods to make it more realistic, or alternatively you can get mods to play as Star Wars factions or the Imperium of Man, etc. I recommend that if you're into strategy in general, you should get it, but if you want a strategy game for the history, you should buy HOI 4, Europa Universalis, or Rome: Total War.

Well, what's good about strategy is that you can really learn to improve yourself, whereas in shooters I think that there is more of a ceiling where some players just don't have the dexterity to improve themselves beyond a certain point.

Yeah, civ 5 might not be your cup of tea if you like the old-school historical strategy games. What's great about Civ, however, are the stupid memey mods you can play as.
