But, then it occurred to me: why should groups such as these rabid feminazis enjoy rights of which they would deprive _me_?<br /><br />I'm not the only person who thinks that charity should be a personal _choice_, exercised personally. If the Left believes the indigent should be given money and "free sh*t", let _them_ provide it, from their own pockets, instead of stealing it by force from everyone else.<br /><br />Similarly, if they feel _we_ have no right to speak our minds, why should we abjure making them suffer the restriction they seek to have enforced upon us? We have a right to protect ourselves, using any available weapon, but most especially guns, because they are effective, and allow a less powerful individual to defend against a stronger one or even against a group of them. Since they wish to deny us that right (while many of them employ or are provided with armed guards just for them), why would it be wrong to return the favor and deny _them_ that same right? If it was good (in their eyes) for us to suffer the loss of that right, why should there be an ethical problem with visiting their own restriction upon them?<br /><br />Yes, yes, I have heard the old, "I disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to do so." It is a generous and admirable mind-set, but we are not speaking of originating the idea of reducing free speech, simply enforcing it on those who thought it was a valid thing to do to US - therefore it should _also_ be valid for them to submit to it, even as we continue to possess that right.<br /><br />Think of t as a "mirror spell". A curse aimed at us that rebounds, redounds to her who cast it. Especially when you consider the harm she does/they do. Who has ever been falsely accused of being a pedophile who has not been permanently damaged by the mere accusation? The wondering of others if there wasn't _some_ truth to the accusation, even if the accused is acquitted? Do you still beat your wife?Reg Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14099612693763932005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-24476301110606197582016-02-05T11:54:46.092-05:002016-02-05T11:54:46.092-05:00So, hold the meetups anyway.

You might as well, even if you keep a low profile the weasels will eventually come after you in your burrows.RustyGunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607539523531544524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-21803466339176983782016-02-04T13:53:06.720-05:002016-02-04T13:53:06.720-05:00SJWs came for me *personally* this morning, making...SJWs came for me *personally* this morning, making threats against me and partially doxxing me.<br /><br />I was considering attending one of these meetups. I don't agree with everything Roosh says, but I like to consider alternative points of view with equanimity. And I've been of the opinion that Roosh is maturing somewhat, moving from a militant pagan playboy to something of a more measured traditionalist.<br /><br />I think we're seeing the "Battle of the Bulge" for SJWs, right now. These attacks strike me as having a certain desperate air about them.<br /><br />I mean, I'm a middling-to-small sort of pundit, personally. If they wasted time coming after me, it must only be because they have failed at taking down those in the ranks above me. They may have won a battle against Roosh, here, but they've lost a lot more than they've won. They tried to have him banned from various countries to nearly comic effect, then attempted to attack him physically at one meetup, again to epic failure.<br /><br />The enemy is reaching into their reserves now. So these recent attacks have, paradoxically, convinced me that there is some hope. Time to press on.Manuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13082153758868357687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-70536621571180401662016-02-04T10:50:32.096-05:002016-02-04T10:50:32.096-05:00Another Roosh / RoK reader here.

The brownshirts have gone to a distributed model, and they can disrupt us without fear now, as the State is on their side.<br /><br />And the women of Germany wonder why no German men have come to their aid? It's because they've kicked them to the ground long ago, and they are no longer inclined to protect their super strong, super equal femmes. <br /><br />If nothing else, I hope current events cause women to reassess what feminism has done.
