what is progress?

I don't want a society where men are more gentle. Rather, I want women to be more violent.

Now I don't say this with great conviction. I say it because it needs to be said, in a world where emphasis is predominantly placed upon virtue signalling and socialised babysitting. We need to speak less about men being protectors, and encourage women to victimise men, in equal proportions to the violence that they have suffered from men. Then we can say, there has been some progress.

This post is basically a template for how to address issues in public.

friendship with bleeding hearts

Examining friendship with bleeding hearts :

- If they had a bleeding heart, I would often be asking them to clean up after themselves and to keep it off the floor.

- Low common interest, unless they found my general advice useful, or enjoyed having me help with dishes, chores, etc. 

- Generally I am prejudiced towards classifying bleeding hearts, as basically disabled people.

- I use the term loosely, as the bleeding heart is a loosely defined metaphor.

- My parents were both bleeding hearts, and it caused me no end of inconvenience in childhood.

the footgun of Marxism

The greatest triumph of capitalism, and the greatest footgun of Marxism, is :

- Marxism framed its critique in abstract terminology : "class", "capital", "means", "power" 

- Capitalism simply sat behind a moat of concrete terminology : "money", "long life", "health", "beauty", "eat, sleep, travel"

It's been a lark studying the public relations failure, resulting from poor copywriting and brand strategy.
