Are you capable of understanding that not all psychiatric medications are the same, not all psychiatric conditions are the same, and that not everyone has the same reaction you did to them?

If I didn't have my meds - which it was INCREDIBLY difficult to get because of medical gatekeeping in part paused by 'deprescription' sentiment - more likely than not I would kill myself, and even if I didn't I wouldn't be capable of living even a half life because I'm so mentally ill I need stimulants to fucking shower on a semi regular basis.

The only thing propagating this rhetoric right now does is hurt the people who need psychiatric medications the most. It's great for you that you can function without them.

Not everyone is you.

Basically, though Owl remembered it backwards - Northeners from colder climates (Germanic tribes, Nords, Scots, etc) are in order to compensate for that more hot in body and thereby more passionate and quick to anger, with somewhat overheated brains but very strong bodies - great warriors and laborers, but poor in intellectual pursuits on average.

It was the opposite for people from Warmer climates, their bodies were 'colder' and their brains worked much better but their bodies were weak - great intellectuals and artists, poor warriors and laborers.

The Romans and Greeks, of course, being in the middle of these two poles had the best of both worlds. Or so the thinking went. It's also worth noting the Romans didn't see this as hereditary, exactly - it was thought that people moving to different temperature areas would cause them to have the same characteristics as the locals within just a few generations.

Woops! Thank you for the correction! I always end up adding that extra s, always been better with the Latin spelling than the Greek.

Yeah, very much so. Intercural sex was the Socially Acceptable way of bottoming, they still had a very strong taboo about sodomy proper.

For a citizen to be sodomized was seen as disgusting and highly looked down upon, though they were fine with doing such things to slaves.

Even the intercural, it should be noted, it was only socially acceptable to bottom if you were a young man, an Eromenos, which is... basically like if you put the concepts of Twink and Femboy inna blender and made them a sort of time-limited third gender (Typically the 16-25 range though we have examples of Eromenos being up to 29 sometimes) that one was supposed to grow out of as one aged and became a Man.

Greek homosexuality and the cultural norms around it are more complicated than most realize, as is usually the case with historical examples of pre-modern cultures that in some way were accepting of homosexuality.

The O9A as far as I'm aware has zero FBI connections originally, it was started by a genuine Nazi occultist British crank.

What you're thinking of is the Tempel Ov Blood (Yes that's how it's spelled) which is essentially the American denomination of the O9A who have their own modified version of the theology and all that shit.

The founder of that IS a known FBI informant, though I believe he became an informant after founding the TOB.

I unfortunately know a lot about these groups.

764 is technically a separate group that's really just in it for the pedophilia, little Epsteins, but in practice there is A LOT of overlap.

For the record, while I'm not actually aware of the racism though I find it believable, the transphobia isn't really hidden.

In the book he's excerpting from he goes into even further and more overt detail in the broader transphobic rant - his general opinion seems to be a rehash of the old 'homosexuality is bourgiese decadence' thing, but applied to being transgender instead.

It's really quite obvious and heinous in the book, there's even a moment where the conceptual connection is made clear and he went so far as to plausibly-deniably imply that being homosexual should still be considered a mental illness.

I am in no way implying that, fuck head, don't Ziojacket me.

Am I criticizing the slop posting of her Islamophobic rants right now, jackass? I specifically referenced the various posts about her old bad takes like THIS VERY POST we're commenting on.

This is in such unfathomable bad faith, I really hope this website actually cracks down on transmisogyny one day.

And of course all the posts about Contra's various ancient bad takes are relevant to that, right? Posting about her shit takes on Marie Antoinette from almost half a decade ago?

There's plenty of anti-genocide intellectuals who aren't disgusting transphobes that this website doesn't pay any attention to. Why the specific fixation on the White Jewish Transphobe who constantly dooms about Palestine anyway?

Is this some sort of allusion to arguments against the current trend towards literally banning under-18s from the internet? Are you suggesting this hypothetical Taylor Lorenz take would be bad?

I have to imagine it's from years of volcel police jokes reinforcing a sex-negative culture and the complete lack of understanding of feminism or queer theory of most of the userbase.

Excellent post and I entirely agree. Just wanted to let you know that.
