Is this a bit? It's clearly meant to evoke the yellow star nazis made Jews wear but since they're something else they just made it a 'regular' star. They understand the parallel and are banking on it and this lets them sidestep actual support or empathy for Jews.

New president Joe Biden signed a raft of executive orders which made big headlines but had very little practical effect.

Whenever Scott gets owned on Twitter he does that obnoxious thing where he says you didn't get it or explaining what he meant was beneath him. He's been corrected on his "Charlottesville hoax" thing a million times, will keep repeating it, and every time someone points out how he's wrong he just makes lame insults - once I saw him say "did a cat crawl across your keyboard" to someone who coherently explained why he was wrong.

In case anyone was wondering, no, it's not out of context, he's leading in to saying it's not worth it to explain to women why the pay gap is ~actually~ justified by a number of objective factors, because they'll just get irrationally angry at you when you own them with logic

The reality is that women are treated differently by society for exactly the same reason that children and the mentally handicapped are treated differently. It's just easier this way for everyone. You don't argue with a four-year old about why he shouldn't eat candy for dinner. You don't punch a mentally handicapped guy even if he punches you first. And you don't argue when a women tells you she's only making 80 cents to your dollar. It's the path of least resistance. You save your energy for more important battles.

quote:

I realize I might take some heat for lumping women, children and the mentally handicapped in the same group. So I want to be perfectly clear. I'm not saying women are similar to either group. I'm saying that a man's best strategy for dealing with each group is disturbingly similar. If he's smart, he takes the path of least resistance most of the time, which involves considering the emotional realities of other people. A man only digs in for a good fight on the few issues that matter to him, and for which he has some chance of winning. This is a strategy that men are uniquely suited for because, on average, we genuinely don't care about 90% of what is happening around us.

quote:

This piece was designed for regular readers of The Scott Adams blog. That group has an unusually high reading comprehension level. In this case, the content of the piece inspires so much emotion in some readers that they literally can't understand it. The same would be true if the topic were about gun ownership or a dozen other topics. As emotion increases, reading comprehension decreases. This would be true of anyone, but regular readers of the Dilbert blog are pretty far along the bell curve toward rational thought, and relatively immune to emotional distortion.

quote:

I'm sure women do have it worse than men in this country in lots of ways. But it isn’t a competition. My point is that the psychological state of American men in 2016 is one of persistent humiliation for simply being male. That sense of humiliation might be more imagined than real – which is not an important distinction – because either way it affects how people act.

Ben Garrison posted:

The first editorial cartoon published in America was said to be penned by Benjamin Franklin himself. Its title, “Join or Die,” was used as an inspirational meme during the Revolutionary War. The early American states had to combine in order to defeat British tyranny.

Now we have an illegitimate regime in Washington D.C.

After stealing the election, the Democrat Socialists are now coming after Trump supporters, whom they consider ‘terrorists.’ They lie and say we are trying to kill them while they actively marginalize roughly half the country as enemy combatants. They’re even censuring a lawfully-elected representative, Marjorie Taylor Greene. Even many of her fellow Republicans (RINOs) have denounced her. Why? Because she supported Donald Trump a bit too vociferously.

As socialists, the Democrats naturally hate Christianity. It’s predictable. They want to destroy our culture, our economy, and our freedom including freedom of religion. Yes, that will be extinguished too. Communists want to be worshipped and they will permit only their own religion, the worship of the state.

The Biden regime is quickly undoing President Trump’s accomplishments, while telling us we need to wear two to three masks at once. Biden and his comrades love the masks because they are symbols of submission–even though they do more harm than the virus itself. Masks cause bacterial pneumonia and impede oxygen flow to the brain. It’s not about health, though. Not really. What the socialists want is medical tyranny. They want us to pay for unlimited and even late-term abortion even if we disagree with the practice. They want us jabbed with deadly vaccines containing aborted fetal tissue. It’s not science, it’s ghoulishness.

They want to destroy our economy—especially our oil industry. They want open borders. Those in power are globalists, not nationalists. They talk about spreading ‘democracy,’ which really means they want to spread socialism. They have destroyed our Republic.

They have also destroyed our free speech and now they want to take away our guns. One way is through ‘licensing,’ which involves getting evaluated by government psychiatrists who will judge our mental competency before granting us the right to own a firearm. My guess is they will be very picky about doling out approval—especially to conservatives. Regardless, we all already have a license—it’s called the Second Amendment. The socialist control freaks are constantly working to infringe upon it.

What the socialist Democrats are doing is far worse than what we rebelled against with the British.
Therefore, the best solution may be ‘un-join and live.’ States should consider seceding from the unrecognizable and incredibly corrupt political hot mess that used to be our country. Why send money derived from our hard-earned labor to traitorous criminals back east? Why let our young citizens get sent to insane foreign wars to fight and die in order to fatten the wallets of the military industrial complex? Why pay money and respect to corrupt security agencies, courts, and politicians who hate us and deserve our contempt? Why be chained to the evil Federal Reserve?

Yes, the time has come for the red states to secede. Perhaps Montana can join with the Wyoming, the Dakotas, Idaho, as well as the eastern parts of Washington and Oregon. We can use gold and silver as a basis for a new currency. Northern California can separate from the insane leftist Hell scape that Southern California is becoming. Maybe states in the south such as Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, and West Virginia can all work together as well.

The key is getting ONE state to start to the process and that needs to be Texas. The Lone Star state should seceded and regain its independence. The Republic of Texas! Now that has a good ring to it.

Secede or Die!

also is it weird that he made a specific exception for northern california as an honorary member of the second confederacy, or is that region known for being a lot redder than southern california?

Ok so someone help me figure this out. Is it Texas that is succeeding? Because it is still just as cut into pieces, which means that Texas will still also die without the rest.

Finally nice to see Washington state get some recognition.

I might as well post the rest of the quote which shows that even in context, this is the exact meaning.

But Scott Adams wants you to know he isn't saying women are like children or the mentally handicapped, he's just saying you should respond to them in the same way, by sighing and enduring their whining because you are the smart reasonable man, and they will never listen to your brilliant logic brain.
