It took some time to find its voice but when it did it became so amazing. You’re right there won’t ever be something like it. DS9 was sophisticated and nuanced.

Just compare it to modern Star Trek. In DS9 when the characters learn about Section 31 it’s a multi episode story and several characters almost go crazy from the realisation of what that actually means for the Federation.

In Discovery, everyone knows about Section 31. It’s a bunch of special ops badasses that interfere in sovereign societies’ politics and that’s A okay.

Is he Jewish? I don’t know. In any case being Jewish doesn’t preclude also being a weird Internet personality, just look at Ben Shapiro.

Do you really think "winner take all" wrestling is a popular thing among mainstream Republicans?

It's not his fault if people take him seriously. That's a result of a pervasive lack of political education and an unhinged focus on "calling out" every instance of everything that one doesn't like. If the left wing would just cease paying attention to freaks like BAP, they'd be consigned to small corners of the internet doing their weird bits.

Instead, you amplify these people, they literally feed on your outrage. And the fact that there is outrage is precisely what ends up giving them credibility.

It's mentioned in the article. Bronze Age Pervert. He's one of the people that are loosely lumped into things like the manosphere or "dark enlightenment." He writes about how men are weak these days and need to be more manly and how women shouldn't have rights.

He's also known for constantly showing off his body and posting images of young bodybuilders as some kind of icons of masculinity. He's also known for challenging people to "winner takes all" wrestling which is a "form" of wrestling where the winner fucks the loser.

That's why I say he's a homosexual fantasist. His whole deal doesn't stem from a serious political commitment to curtailing women's rights. It's a fantasy about powerful, strong, sexually dominant men which is actually quite common in the gay community (I know, I am gay).

Prostitution is rape. Legal prostitution is legalized rape. Simple as. I reject your vulgar Marxist sophistry. 20th century communists were all against prostitution. Go read some Kollontai.

It seems like you like vanilla and chocolate and not plant “milk.”

Well they did make that anti-prostitution song. That’s a very right wing position. The left loves women being raped for money. It’s empowering, imagine giving up your pussy for free. That’s the patriarchy.

I'm not saying it would either help them or hurt them. I think many people totally ignore that fact that if the election rules and law were changed in the United States, then campaign strategies would change too. Both the Democratic and Republican parties have enough resources and power to able to adapt.
