Sydney, this my friend's story. American living in Sydney through the pandemic. Applied four times to come back to the US to see her oncologist - she was unvaccinated because she had had a very bad reaction to a vaccine during chemo - like nearly died - and the government would not let her leave because she wasn't vaccinated! Exasperating! Eventually, she could but only on her fourth appeal and because she had a death in the family.

Okay, it's true I don't like Sydney at all. But this whole "I was traumatized by sexual assault" thing that our modern culture has brainwashed into us I just don't get. I was molested by my father and brother as a child and beaten. I had my hand held down on stoves and cigarettes put out on me. Sydney had what? Some guy on an airplane put his hand on her knee? I don't get it. I'm not traumatized. I can laugh and even make self depricating jokes about my "trauma." In fact, I even find it funny. I don't care. I literally don't care. Too much as a society we focus on trauma and think our "trauma" and feelings matter. We think we have to be victims and that it's empowering to be a victim. You know what I say? Get over it. It happened. Laugh at it. Humans are meant to tough it out and move on. As a species humans endured the vikings raiding their villages and doing all kinds of terrible things. They endured the Moors. They endured so much. And you know what the village girl handled it? The one that just got "assaulted" by a viking during a raid? She moved on, got married, and kept planting potatoes on her farm with her family. She didn't sit around talking about it and dealing with her "trauma". People endured the Mongols in China and just moved on with their lives. Stop giving so much power to abuse. It's honestly not something that debilitating. Shit happens.

The problem is that too many people conflate ‘Rationalist’ philosophy with ‘rationalisation’ and you can rationalise any action you take and that is not a positive. Without an objective moral framework to fall back on as justification you are left with an inconsistent and illogical image of the world. This deficit in logic is why Sydney, Blaire and the rest of the centre left are intellectual lightweights who lack the ability to properly articulate coherent positions when debating and why they feel “politically homeless” They’re less wrong than the people they whine about but they aren’t honestly seeking the truth or to do what is right. They only seek justification for their own immoral actions.

Rant... In the Year 2007, there was only 1 gender clinic in the United States. Today there are over 300 pediatric gender clinics. Planned Parenthood gives out testosterone on the first visit. Double mastectomy, also known as top surgery, is readily available, and in some states you can get it without parental consent and in no state do they require a note from a therapist. Prior to 15 minutes ago, gender dysphoria was a condition that affected 1 in 10,000 males. It generally didn't affect women at all. Everybody my age remembers transvestites growing up, but women didn't dress as men because gender dysphoria is a MALE condition. "Gender dysphoria" is up 4000%, and primarily these are teenage girls claiming to have the disorder. This is the same group of girls that used to be the goth girls, the girls that would cut themselves, the ones with bulimia and anorexia, in other words, girls that are unhappy with their body during and after puberty, that always fall for the latest craze. They generally grow out of it. The only problem is, you can't grow out of the sterilization that occurs when you do puberty blockers followed by testosterone, and you will have permanent damage from a double mastectomy that also cannot be reversed naturally. But if you say anything about any of this, you'll be accused of being a bigot. Even the therapists that treat this "condition" use "gender-affirming therapy". There's nobody trying to talk these girls out of it. There's too much money in the drugs and the surgeries. Girls are even being taken from their parents who want to put a stop to this butchering of their children... because of "diversity and inclusion". These are words I cannot stand. Stop being afraid of being called transphobic. We need adults to not be afraid to speak out against this. The future of our little girls depends on it.

I was in a sexually abusive relationship when I was 19 and I still struggle with those thoughts of wondering if I somehow misunderstood it even though I know I didn't and beating myself up for not doing more to stop it when it was happening. Hearing you guys have those same feelings helps me feel less alone with that struggle
@SuperLibertarianMan2 жыл бұрын
Coming from a guy, I just wanted to tell you that you don't need to beat yourself up for not doing more. You were just a 19 year old kid. Nobody at that age really knows what to do in that situation, you just know that you don't want to endure the abuse. With time comes maturity and knowledge of how to handle situations. Which in turn helps you help others get out of similar situations. Just know you don't have anything to beat yourself up about, and you aren't to blame. I know that it will stay with you for a very long time, but in time you will heal little by little. Wish you the best, keep on keepin on!

@fioredeutchmark2 жыл бұрын
Spiralled? He still has a full time job on a television network and has just done a whistle stop tour of some of the best (and most relevant) podcasts in the space. In contrast Sydney is back to asking for handouts from simps and her obviously very wealthy mummy and daddy while she whines about her hurt feelings. If you think Elijah was the toxic one that speaks absolute volumes about the complete lack of substance you have as a person. Have fun being completely empty and confused your whole life while You rationalise away atrocious actions of your own and condemn the same exact actions in others, like an insane person 👍🏻

I had the same experience as Sydney but on a bus in my country Denmark. Luckily I was only on the bus for 20 minutes but I felt disgusted with myself when I got off. I also kept questioning the situation in my head, but the guy was also starting out very subtly. He was "reading" a newspaper, holding it very awkwardly at the bottom corners and his hand kept bumping onto my leg with the movements of the bus and suddenly it just stayed there... I tried to squeeze myself towards the window away from him, but it didn't help. Today I'm just angry at myself for not saying something to him loudly so everyone could hear it.

I think the problem with assault is that too many people (also men) have never learnt how to set boundaries or rather have actively been discouraged in the formative years to set their limits. This is the result of the obedience training that most kids go through in behaviour focused parenting and school. Kids have naturally very strong boundaries but when we constantly tell them that they can’t say no, “give your auntie a kiss” (even if they don’t want to) and invalidate their emotions they are gonna turn into adults who question themselves when they are being assaulted and freeze.

There’s a lot of violence in the south but that violence breeds a different form of respect for women. In the north, there’s a lot of uppity middle class morality that ask men not to be shitbags if they want to make it in these upper middle class circles. But as soon as the pretense goes away or if you’re a woman of low enough class, it’s gloves off behind closed doors. But in the south it’s “You can try it but she’ll probably whip you with a switch and wear your scrotum as a new handbag”. It’s very vulgar and violent but it makes a lot of men in the south think twice before acting disrespectful to any random lady.

agree there's alot of Elijah haters here, and I'm just trying to get as much information on the split, because what happend wasn't very clear, and in the open. I get she was a "co host" but It was Elijah's show, and Sid was never the intended "co host" in the first place. But Sid got alot of hate, and Elijah got alot of hate as well. And I think the major problems that really bought alot of this on was the diffrence in fan base. It's sad especially if you go back, and watch the Slightly Offensive episodes where Sid was a constant guest. They where clearly good friends. But I guess the work ethics were just to different. Maybe if it wasn't a daily show things might have turned out different. My full conclusion to this tho is that Sidney is mostly to blame for the split. She couldn't keep her emotions together. She's been a cry baby for along time. I'm not saying that to be disrespectful either. She just gets caught up in her feelings and what other people think.

@@mcjagergaming I agree. Elijah is unconcerned with the trash talk. Syd however was heavily bothered by it. Like take it with a grain of salt. And although she was a co-host, I don’t know that the title made them equal partners. I’m pretty sure Elijah still had creative control. But I don’t know what was in their contract. And the show wasn’t Elijah’s. It belongs to BlazeTv. Whereas Slightly Offensive belongs to Elijah and happens to be on BlazeTv. So I think with Syd gone, the executives just shelved the show. But they easily could have continued with guest cohosts till they found a replacement. They we’re getting good views and engagement when Syd left and he had guest cohosts. They could’ve kept it going. I think the trolls in the superchats added to the show getting canceled too. Elijah made it funny, cool and acceptable to troll in the superchats and it encouraged the behavior. I dunno. And there were times where it felt like a better produced version of Slightly Offensive rather than a different show. Sucks that it’s over but at the same time I kinda get it.

A lot of Christians don't know what it means to actually be Christian. I'm Catholic and one of the things we believe as Christians is that "faith without works is dead" (which is literally in the Bible), but we get criticized for this belief from other Christians because they think "no! all you need is belief in Jesus!". But the idea is actually that if you do have an actual belief and a relationship with Jesus, then you WILL live a charitable and kind life because of that belief. There are a lot of "Christian" assholes because they think just going to church and saying they believe is enough.

My university has a good amount of lndian students. And all of them (who are from lndia, there are canadian-born lndians who are fine) are so CREEPY. I had one man stalk me for over a year, another one tried to lead me into a dark alleyway alone as a "shortcut" (which was in the exact OPPOSITE direction of the place I was going). I am in STEM and have been told by these lndian students that I don't belong specifically BECAUSE I'm a woman and at my age I should be married and birthing children for my father (while these same men copied my notes, mind you). I had one man tell me that school ruins women and gives them opinions, and in my current state he wouldn't want me to even be a se/x sIave for him because I'm THAT "ruined"... ugh, barf. These are just a few of MY experiences. I have reported them and been told that the uni can't do anything because there's cultural differences and we have to be "understanding" of them. Screw that noise. There's a culture among women on our campus to NEVER be alone at night with a brown man, because it's THAT prevalent. EVERY woman I've known on my campus has at least one story involving an immigrated lndian man harassing them in some way. We all avoid them like the plague. And now our uni is trying to have seminars and hand out flyers about "anti-rac/ism" to all the female students. Needless to say, we're pissed, and we're not buying it. If they won't protect us, they have no right to complain about how we protect ourselves.

Good honest people can come to different opinions through that process, but one thing they will have in common is sincerity and the ability to change with new information. I see both of you as this.

I've never been raped, but I've had an old man stick his tongue down my throat in my 30's, another guy held me down on a bed force kissing me in my teens, I've been grabbed, touched, lewdly stared at, verbally harassed, etc., over & over again until maybe the last 6 years...and part of that is because I've become a hermit & probably because I'm now 40.

I grew up Catholic with my very religious family and recently walked away. Caused a lot of grief with my family who thinks I’m doing a disservice to my boys and not surrounding them with good values anymore. My own father has been trying to get me to come back to the church with guilt of leaving and saying my kids will grow up to be heathens without it, not counting in the fact that my husband and I do our best as a team. So it feels like I’m being pulled in two different directions. I’m not not religious. I’d consider myself more Christian now who just tries to understand the Bible so I can help guide my boys to what they choose to believe. I believe in standing by my beliefs even if it means winding up alone, which my husband and I largely have now with all the politically charged environments now. I will respect someone else’s decisions and beliefs until you try to make me feel shitty about me trying to do right by my husband and sons. I understand Syd. Your religion and sexuality shouldn’t be your identity, and the people who do that are typically some of the shittiest people on the planet. Whoever got this far, thanks for reading my rant.

I have to agree with Sydney on the atheism thing, and being a conservative, because you have to juggle your viewpoint and beliefs, and know that you're kind of a black sheep of the group, but as she rightly pointed out it's one of the smallest things of ones persona, but in my case it is a little more prominent. I've had very conservative co-workers, and friends, who look at me like I'm a Hydra when I tell them that I am an atheist conservative. I find it really humorous when I get those looks but then the conversations that arise from their curiosity is what I strive for. Intellectual conversations are always welcome, no matter the topic and regardless of someone else's viewpoint religiously politically or ideologically. Philosophical debates are what drive my decision to be openly honest about being an atheist despite being a constitutional conservative. Although I do have to admit I am very surprised Sydney is an atheist, because I thought she actually was a Christian. But I got no problems with it either way.
