This reminded me of a moment at a short lived job years ago cutting grass and trimming with a sort of professional "lawn outfit". It was at a place called "Amish Acres", kind of an Amish theme park in the heart of Amish country. Touristy, it wasn't operated by the Amish.

Regardless, I'll never forget how stunningly pretty two Amish girls were when they happened to walk by on the public sidewalk adjacent to where I was trimming weeds, grass or thin air. It wasn't some lascivious moment, it was just impossible not to notice a particular beauty in basic "plainness" that I don't often see out in the devil's playground.

When you notice the vicious backlash against men saying they'd like to find a "trad-wife" to marry, you see how sick the culture is. Man seeks a kind, happy, healthy (in body, mind, and spirit) woman to raise a family with? Oh the horror...

German model (and, later, singer for The Velvet Underground and for her own band) Nico was known as much for her extraordinary beauty as for her stern, icy, Teutonic voice. When she "wilted", she wilted with a vengeance. Unlike most formerly beautiful people, Nico never lifted a finger to try to hang onto her youthful good looks. The decades of heroin addiction and chain-smoking certainly had not helped her complexion.

Whenever the subject came up, she would simply chuckle darkly about how hideous she had become. Her voice, however, always remained as distinctly haunting as ever:

... Satan? 😂

No seriously—Satan: https://youtu.be/7Eeo-82Eac8?feature=shared

Also: Andrea Dworkin is what you get when garden-variety misandry curdles into murderous psychopathy to the point heterosexual sex (the reason any of us exist) becomes a target for annihilation.

Don't know where you're going w/ the Satanist/masonic stuff. The emoji says ironic - so you're joking - fine. All those secret hand shakes, hidden hands, and nods and winks in photos are really weak evidence. I remember some neo-con nobody trying to convince me Ahmadinejad was a mason based on a handshake.

But "poetess" Dworkin fits in nicely w/ the culture of death. Back in her heyday, she was paired w/ Christian women (McKinnon) who were also considered anti-sex. You make the point that anti-normative sex leads to extinction.

Well, it's certainly ironic in that I'm not a Christian, but obviously some people (starting with Alton Childs) are. That video, which I've never managed to watch the entirety of (it's 5+ hours long), I agree isn't evidence of much of anything. Yet the fact Freemasonry is never mentioned at all in mainstream US culture or education is quite odd in its total absence. Overall, I just threw it out there for kicks. Will try to make a mental note you expect serious answers to your rhetorical questions.

Whenever I encounter people talking about Dworkin I always think of her telling Allan Ginsberg she literally wanted to murder him. When certain people with problems latch onto an ideology (radical feminism, communism, transhumanism, Zionism, etc) their entire identity can get poured into it and you'll notice they lose all perspective, sense of humour, empathy, ability to consider a counter-argument. I've heard such people dubbed "robopaths". In essence, an ideology seizes the robopath and no amount of bloodshed, torture, societal mayhem, or anything else (including the driving of humanity to extinction via the prohibition of sex between men and women) is seen as excessive in service to it.

Honestly, these are the absolute scariest people you will encounter in life. They are worse than garden-variety psychopaths, who are more about gratifying themselves in the moment. I'm also trying to imagine the elite level of troll Dworkin would have been had she lived to see Twitter/X.

Didn't know Dworkin wanted to murder Ginsberg. Guess she had at least one redeeming feature.

Freemasonry is allowed to flourish w/o scrutiny. Too many masons in positions of authority to have it otherwise. That's how they want it and they do a better job than Jews of keeping their aggression in their pants. The only times I see it brought up is by red-pilled Catholics who tend to shy away from blaming Jews because 2/3 of their Godhead is Jewish.

Re irony - I was thinking how can this guy who's into Nico be on board w/ 5 hours of borderline Satanic paranoia, so yes, I do prefer serious (straight) answers if I don't know a person that well. Of course, too much serioso becomes boring as well.

Well don't get too excited, assuming you have a penis you'd soon be on the guillotine after Ginsberg as Dworkin didn't make much distinction between human males of any stripe. I met Ginsberg back in the day, during my misspent youth as an English Lit major. Can't say he left much of an impression, but there's no denying he wrote a few good howls back in the day.

"...how can this guy who's into Nico be on board w/ 5 hours of borderline Satanic paranoia"—fact is, I find all sorts of eclectic stuff interesting and/or fun. I'll read Houellebecq or listen to lectures on Schopenhauer and then watch K-pop videos and be both horrified and amused by everything. This is my strategy for keeping the boredom at bay. It's working rather well too, as boredom is not a state I ever find myself in outside of needing more money and thus enduring additional time as a wage slave.

Sadly, needing more money is a state I always seem to find myself in, despite all best efforts. Also: you'll never know me well, as I've lived with myself for decades and still can't claim to know myself.

Dworkin didn't actually kill anyone. Valerie Solanas, less intellectual, more artistic, tried to kill Warhol. Always felt Ginsberg was a particularly repulsive figure, even for a Jewish pedophile. His Howl overrated.

We share degrees in English lit and generally eclectic/mutable outlooks. I'm retired. You're still scuffling.

Had a ten minute infatuation w/ K Pop. Moved on to Korean baseball cheerleaders .
