I was talking to a partner, and I don't really remember what spurred it, but I kinda broke down a little bit and just expressed how things weren't really going well for me.

She was quiet for a few seconds and just looked at me, with what looked like a feeling of disgust, and said something along the lines of, "Men aren't supposed to act like this."

In my experience, if you allow yourself to be vulnerable (really vulnerable, not the kind of vulnerable where you just shed a single tear while watching Old Yeller) with a woman, it usually marks the end of the relationship. It won't happen immediately, but she'll become disgusted that you're not holding up your end of the gender role bargain, and things start to fall apart.

Obviously not all women are like this, and I don't want to come across like an incel screeching about females, but I've had a couple of relationships fail after a moment of "weakness," even if I thought my partner was progressive about heteronormativity. I think this is one of the nasty ways that the patriarchy programs women in particular and is yet another example of why it harms us all.

They'll kill him like they killed the protestor who shot a fascist during the BLM protests in 2020: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killings_of_Aaron_Danielson_and_Michael_Reinoehl#Shooting_of_Reinoehl

Can't have someone setting a precedent walking around

If the military doesn't arrive at parliament within 15 minutes of the coup declaration, they legally have to let you vote it off

I used to work at a nonprofit that helped refugees find housing in the US in an area where the early anti-vax movement really started taking off. I remember the refugees being fucking ASTOUNDED that Americans were refusing to vaccinate their kids against diseases that were still a dangerous threat in their home country

They act as if every business major in this country weren't spoonfed "mandatory" capitalist training by reading Adam Smith and the like
