Cirque du Solei is the most recent entertainment act to boycott North Carolina over a law passed in the state barring mentally ill men in dresses from peeing in front of your daughter in women’s restrooms.

CdS morally preens ans status whores about opposing “discrimination in any form”, (really? discrimination against necrophiliacs too?), but as Breitbart points out, Cirque du Sogay has no plans to cancel its shows in the United Arab Emirates where open homosexuals are put to death.

Cirque du Sashay is one of many examples of shitlib virtue signaling, in which the conspicuous assertion and indulgence of virtuous feeling is more important than virtuous deed. Boycotting a state for an eminently reasonable law to prohibit cross-dressing men from women’s restrooms while continuing to do business in a country that would throw cross-dressing men off buildings to cheering crowds below is as little virtuous as it is greatly hypocritical. Donning a mantle of virtue to impress friends and win plaudits from similarly signaling virtuomos is not the same thing as actual virtue.

There are three psychological motivations compelling shitlib virtue signaling about tranny “””rights””” (this bullet list can be applied to nearly every shitlib cause du jour).

Women change the dynamic and when they enter they seek to change it in their own image. This is not bad, it just is what it is. Women have need of all-female groupings as well, and today they have no difficulty in finding female only companionship. Type ‘female only travel groups or gyms’ into a search engine and see how many groups come up. Now do the same for men. Nothing.

Men are now actively discouraged from associating formally. One needs only to witness the incredible worldwide hysteria that exploded when Roosh advocated his followers to meet up in a multitude of different cities. Contrary to popular opinion they were not meeting up to learn how to rape women. They were meeting up to have a beer and meet like-minded men. Men who want something more but have difficulty in finding it. They wanted to discuss their place in the world and how the modern world effects them.

Men associating together seems to be a powerful threat judging by the hysterical efforts to shut those meetings down. That’s because men do not reach their full potential in isolation or in mixed gendered groups. Men need to associate with other men to be exposed to the full benefits of manliness.

While he doesn’t spell it out precisely, one major reason why rich people are miserable is that everyone wants to be around them because everyone wants something from them. That’s why so many of them become reclusive and suspicious; they haven’t got the ability to ruthlessly cull the positive people who contribute to their lives from the negative people who ruin it.

If you want to prove you are worthwhile to someone, then do something for them. Don’t do it as a quid pro quo, do it as a demonstration of merit. Maybe good things will come of it. Maybe not. Regardless, you will be the better off for it.

Don’t be a parasite. Don’t be constantly asking others to do things for you, and give things to you. Figure out how you can help others, how you can be of use to others, and it won’t be too terribly long long before people will be wanting to do the same for you.

There are two kinds of people in this world: those who can think for themselves and see the truth for what it is, and those who don’t bother to do any critical thinking, and just believe what the majority tells them to believe. To them, truth matters less than what is socially expedient.

Unfortunately, the second type outnumber the first at least 10 to 1. This ratio might be different in other countries, but I’m speaking from what I’ve experienced in Sweden. Generally, though, it seems like a rule of humanity that only some relatively few bright minds have the honesty and clarity to see things for what they are, instead of what they wish them to be.

What this means is that you likely have a lot of people around you—neighbors, friends, family, coworkers—who belong to the group that let others do their thinking for them. I know that’s the case for me. It’s not easy finding friends who agree with me on subjects like politics and ethics. Hell, it’s hard enough to find someone who will even tolerate any ideology that didn’t originate with Karl Marx.

I still like to hang out with my leftist friends, even if we have our differences. I’ve tried to change their minds, but so far without any luck. So if I can’t change it, I’ll have to learn how to live with it. Over the years, I’ve found ways to deal with the circumstance of being right-wing in a left-wing society. Below I share with you some thoughts I have on dealing with friends who have opinions that you disagree with.

It is ironic that the two danger-seeking “good side” leads of The Force Awakens and Rogue One are female. Feminists like Anita Sarkeesian bellow for female representation in video games and other media, but they forget that in no sense are women even close to represented in real-life, life-endangering activities. As I have opined in at least two other articles, one about women and liberalism, and the other about a man who died trying to save his shit-testing girlfriend, women meticulously avoid trying to put themselves in harm’s way to save other people, especially men. Jyn Erso is nothing short of a false mirror for what feminists think women are when, in fact, almost all of them are completely different.

The female warrior mentality that Jyn Erso is meant to represent is pure folly. As continental Europe continues to feel threatened by the perceived expansionism of Russia, it is men in places like Finland and Lithuania who are carrying the increased defense load. Some 900,000 Finnish men received conscription reminders last year and Lithuania, which had both a female President and female Parliamentary Speaker at the time, went so far as to reintroduce male-only conscription.

. . . . .

All in all, Rogue One is just another example of women doing things in films they never bother to do in real life.

For young men today, the obstacles continue to increase for anyone who wants to enter a relationship. Attention whoring is at an all time high, women are addicted to their smart phones, and corporations are conspiring to redirect women’s attention away from love and toward a career.

While writers have reviewed the ways a man can identify whether an accusation is false, this article will discuss the reasons underlying why a woman would falsely accuse a man of rape. Among false accusations of any crime, it appears to be among the highest. For instance, we rarely hear of a person being falsely accused of theft, murder, or arson. Yet the rape card is pulled with regularity. Let’s explore why.
