I mean you gotta admit it doesn't sound disqualifying when you look at the other people Americans vote for

Hold on I have a great image.

I wonder what percentage of congressmen are rapist

[–] TranscendentalEmpire@lemmy.today 31 points 2 days ago (12 children)

Well, there have been studies that have shown that a little more than 25% of college aged men had committed sexual assault. So I'm guessing at least one in four, probably a little higher considering how crazy and criminally inclined most of them are.

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 25 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I would like to see where you're getting this number

[–] AltMaarri@hexbear.net 32 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (4 children)

Maybe this; I quote (I'm assuming I don't need to CW given the whole thread is but I'll edit if I'm wrong):

Computer-assisted self-interviews were completed with a random sample of 163 unmarried Caucasian and African American men in a large metropolitan area. Almost a quarter (24.5%) of these men acknowledged committing an act since the age of 14 that met standard legal definitions of attempted or completedremoved; an additional 39% had committed another type of sexual assault involving forced sexual contact or verbal coercion

Then again it might be this (depressing I found two candidate studies immediately with a single shitty search):

In college and community samples, rates of self-reportedremoved perpetration range from 6% to 15%, and rates of sexual assault perpetration range from 22% to 57%

I didn't look at either in depth / their methodology; but I wouldn't be surprised. I am a man and I can count on the fingers of a single hand the amount of men I've known in my life that didn't feel comfortable saying objectifying stuff about women when there were none around.

. I am a man and I can count on the fingers of a single hand the amount of men I've known in my life that didn't feel comfortable saying objectifying stuff about women when there were none around

So true and honestly why i never found myself on the #notallmen train because it felt like it was all men but me

notallmen train because it felt like it was all men but me

That's why I quit teamed sports and having male friends. Have you also been diagnosed with high functioning autism? I think it helps insulate my brain from the gender identity crisis most dudes have gone through recently. Like a thin reflective mylar blanket my autism protects my mind from the joe rogan brain disease particles.

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 14 points 2 days ago

I actually consistently score the lowest of anyone i've ever met, including 'neurotypicals,' on all publicly available autism and masking tests. I've never thought that I'm not a guy but I have felt like I wasn't meant to live on this planet, certainly.

Thanks for the source

One of the reasons I plan to stay the fuck away from men.

(Koss et al., 1987; Koss, Heise, & Russo, 1994). In college and community samples, rates of self-reported rape perpetration range from 6% to 15%, and rates of sexual assault perpetration range from 22% to 57% (Abbey et al., 1998; Calhoun, Bernat, Clum, & Frame, 1997; Koss et al., 1987; Muehlenhard & Linton, 1987; Rapaport & Burkhart, 1984; Senn, Desmarais, Verberg, & Wood, 2000).

Source

Calhoun et al. [1997] surveyed 65 young men in a rural community in Georgia who had recently participated in a study of school-aged youth. The average age of participants was 19 and most were Caucasian. Twenty-two percent of these men (n = 14) had perpetrated some type of sexual assault based on their answers to a modified version of the SES; 6.4% had committed an act that met standard legal definitions of completed rape

Senn et al. [2000] surveyed a representative sample of 195 men in a small Canadian city. Participants ranged in age from 19 to 82 and most were Caucasian. Using a modified version of the SES, 27% of participants reported committing some type of sexual assault; 7.7% reported committing attempted or completed rape. M

One large noncollege study was conducted with a special population. Merrill et al. [2001] surveyed 7,850 male US navy recruits from three different locations. These men were on average 20 years of age and approximately two-thirds were Caucasian. Using a shortened form of the SES, approximately 11% of these men reported that they had committed an act that met standard legal definitions of rape.

Source for previous three

So yeah, there's quite a few different studies......all of them paint a pretty dark picture. They are self reported, so the number could potentially be even higher.

Isn't this how US electoral system works? Person with the majority of credible SA allegations wins?

No they also intended to enslave the resulting offspring

was wondering if he was a dumbfuck or a liar when the nazi tattoo was discovered and yet somehow it seems he's both

Even if he didn't know what it was he probably had to seek out an artist willing to do a Nazi tat. Maybe I only hang out with cool people but the tattoo artists I know would refuse to do any Nazi shit & tend to recognize fascist symbols

[–] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

There's a tourist tattoo parlor near me that does viking runes where they've ascribed a meaning to each rune (which is funny because the runes are just an alphabet, they're not like kanji). They've got the odal rune there, no warning about it being a nazi symbol lol. I doubt they're aware.

So maybe he just found a really dumb tattooist.

He walked in to mostly like a nazi tattooist in croatia

Apparently a lot of people (or bots, who knows these days) are saying its a smear campaign and the accuser is unreliable.

Or maybe the guy with nazi tattoos and a history in the modern SS is aremoved?

Smh my opponents are smearing me by pointing out things Ive said and done.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 30 points 2 days ago

It's Tara Reade all over again. Electoralism is a fuck.

[–] Objection@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I was just told I'm being played by Chuck Schumer, who has evidently tricked me into thinking Nazi tattoos, Blackwater mercenaries, and SA are all bad.

At this point I primarily want him gone just so I never have to hear anyone describe a totenkopf as "a pirate tattoo" hopefully ever again. Though now some of them have just switched over to the standard talking points to discredit SA.

These are the same people accusing us of being blindly loyal to Russia and China and rejecting any criticism or inconvenient facts, like in the same breath they'll excuse all this fucked up shit about their guy and then complain about "tankies."

[–] ConcreteHalloween@hexbear.net 53 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

I'm scared of becoming a public figure because of some dumb drunk Facebook posts I made 15 years ago. I don't get how these guys who have more skeletons in the closet than Pol Pot keep thinking it's a good idea to go into the lime light.

[–] JDvecna@hexbear.net 32 points 2 days ago

The kind of mindset and personality that thinks it's okay to do crimes and war crimes, then brag about it online, is also the same kind of person that believes they have all the answers and should be in charge of telling people what to do.

Under communism, everyone given power must immediately relinquish and denounce it until they are assigned power by the people's committee and are forced to do the job, a-la Stalin. Anyone who volunteers to be in charge of something will be immediately executed

[–] JohnBrownsBawdy@hexbear.net 32 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I made some Usenet posts that either will make me a darling of the left and prove I am The Real Deal, or get me executed in trumps third term not sure which.

So blessed I didn't use social media as a child. Granted I could still never do establishment politics bc of this website but wtv.

[–] ConcreteHalloween@hexbear.net 34 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Wouldn't it be funny if it turned out Mamdani had an account here but he mostly just posted beanis jokes to Badposting.

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 32 points 2 days ago

looking forward to a headline about Mamdani's former boss Dave

[–] SteamedHamberder@hexbear.net 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Mamdani had an account with controversial takes about outdoor cats.

I can't run for public office because I'd run my mouth and my fists.

Hell I can't go to city council anymore cause I'm legit afraid I'll throw a chair. Not that I care for "civility" but id prefer to not put my wife through grief for no reason. If I thought if would actually do something I'd be chucking those chairs like a video game.

Don't forget being a mercenary who loves war and killing

[–] Hexamerous@hexbear.net 43 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Concentration camp guard too, at Abu Grhabi.

Liberals really went for it, 99% Hitler.

Look, can't a guy just follow orders once in a while?

[–] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 23 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Thats a weird one because he cant even fall back on being poor and that was the only way out (his parents are rich af and he went to a private boarding school as a kid)

Its one thing to be Butler style figure, you entered it apolitically or desperately or were drafted otherwise forced - and then figured out it was evil inside. But it sounds like he knew it ahead of time and still dreamed about being a lil soldier boy regardless

[–] LeZero@hexbear.net 22 points 2 days ago

Even if he was from a poorer background, he did 4 tours before joining the for profit death squad. At that point he must have had some money, a pension

He joined purely out of love for imperialism

For me, that really was the sticking point from him and I couldn't understand why so many people fell in line behind him.

He isn't even publicly opposed to Israel, which is an excuse I've seen thrown around online, his brother in law is a J Street goon, the 99% AIPAC

[–] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 19 points 2 days ago

Tbf a nazi pedo is the president rn

[–] whatiswrongwithyou@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 days ago

furiously scribbling notes

“Okay, so like they’ll still vote for you if you’re a former mercenary, but what if you had a Nazi tattoo?”

“Alright what if you had a rape allegation but it came from across the political isle”

“Okay, okay, now let’s say you’re a concentration camp guard…”

“Woah, I honestly didn’t think that was gonna work. Alright this time you have a rape allegation and she believes in your platform and still thinks she should vote for you. That one doesn't fly huh?”

“Win? Who cares about winning, this is gold, man!”

Ryan Grim: Sounds like a candidate to fuck my credibility for!

[–] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Do you look like you are stereotypical "white working class" guy if so then hop on board.

[–] marxisthayaca@hexbear.net 20 points 2 days ago

We have the best political candidates, only the brightest mind.
