Seriously though, this is fucking stupid. I can’t believe I’m saying this but I don’t think they were justified in mob beating this US soldier. Stay within your race and birth year is the message we’ll all be getting soon, then? Is anti-age gap really a common thing now among younger people?
I would figure maybe this was caused in part by conservative Catholic anti-sex brainworms and young guys feeling ownership of women their age and jealous that their classmates are dating older guys instead of being their Catholic trad wife. Hook up with a guy a few years older and we’ll lynch his ass? That’s the message.
conservative Catholic anti-sex brainworms and young guys feeling ownership of women their age and jealous that their classmates are dating older guys instead of being their Catholic trad wife
When I was a young man I thought I was “raised Catholic” because my Catholic parents took me and my siblings to church weekly until we were each 18. But the older I got, the more I realized how fantastic they were at shielding me and my siblings from Catholic brainworms, after seeing what actually happens to the actual “raised Catholic” victims.
Both are being raised catholic, just in different ways. Conservative catholics don’t have a monopoly on the labels of the religion, but it sure seems like it could slide that way in the general public perception :/
Thinking back on it I realize how much they trusted me and my siblings to make our own decisions on religion. They never brought up religion in the home. They just brought us to church (which was definitely more of a social-pressure small-town thing in those days), let us listen, and think about it all ourselves.

I mean, c’mon here. The people who have been yelling about “age gaps” for the last 4+ years have not been Conservative Catholics & Incels. This is 100% a “cultural-left”, radlib phenomenon.
I disagree a bit. I know of a not-insignificant portion of young misogynistic guys who are angry at women their age for dating older guys instead of them. They were around even when I was the age of the guys in this article and that was a while ago. I always felt like that fed into a lot of guys buying into the Alpha Male discourse that come around later. Probably related to incels too, but not sure which came first.
There is totally a radlib thing about age gap and that’s also stupid, of course, but there’s definitely a reactionary, misogynistic ownership aspect that’s been festering for a long while.

I do not deny that there are lots of men who get mad about women dating other men, for lots of reasons. My issue here is with the unevidenced assertion (we don’t have the original article here) that this assault specifically is being driven primarily by that specific specie of brainworms. People like to ascribe every bad thing that happens only to their opponents, and never to flaws in their own house.
Further reasoning but CW for sensitive subjects.
If they wanted to get back at women for dating older men, they would’ve just assaulted a woman; rather than picking a fight with a male soldier who, even they would imagine, could presumably fight back.
Well, like the other Comrade said, are we really going to split hairs here? Angry men attending a private Catholic college in Massachusetts allegedly involved in the “anti-pedo” fight and totally misdirecting violence and attack an outside guy coming in to have sex with ‘one of their own’? That’s kinda textbook reactionary shit.
I really don’t think some Starbucks radlibs did this.
Also, for the record, radlibs are my opponents too.
Fair enough, I had not seen that it had been linked in the thread before I started responding to your post, and after having read the article I can now conclude that this is way more insane than what either of us seem to be arguing for.
Apparently this was a coordinated ambush by at least 30 campus students of mixed company (that is to say both men & women), and they were actually students at a private Roman Catholic college. So while I’ll concede that this is probably not a consequence of “Age Gap Discourse”, I also don’t think you can credibly reduce it to “Angry Young Men Venting Misogyny”. This is actually like some kind of insane Youth Q-Anon Brigade.
Yeah, I feel you. It is very wild, especially considering that I think there’s not much difference at all between an 18 year old and a 22 year old, but maybe I’m just old. I don’t know the exact reasons for this or whatever, or if this is actual coordinated group or actually spontaneous, but whatever is going on there are reactionary misogynistic brainworms there, in my opinion. Women can participate in upholding that as well.

you can be the most deadly tier 1 operator to ever live, trained in every martial art known to man, and a ball of pure muscle and freakish dense bones with crazy reach
…and still be dropped by a semi-coordinated group of willowy, gangly attackers (with a plan of attack) that combined might only barely hit your weight class
one of the basest reasons that collective strength always trumps individualism
(not trying to directly attack your point, obviously he would make a very dangerous target, just musing since i’ve seen plenty of street fight videos)
My pal when he was homeless and a heroin addict, while having fairly decently done a shot ended out getting into a fight with an army guy and kinda assumed he was gonna get his ass beat, he ended out winning pretty handily despite being high as a kite and malnourished as hell
He was on heroin which is pretty great as a painkiller and thought he was fucked. He went in without any plan of offense and then it turned out the guy was really bad at fighting and missed his doped up ass with a few swings and left himself super open and the advantage was taken and then soldier boy sucked at taking a punch too. He was telling me the story cause it was really funny how easy it was to beat up this soldier (who was also in uniform at a bar and got into a fight with a homeless dope fiend, and then lost) was to beat.

I would contest that this is entirely dependent on what the state of weapons & armaments technology of the day is. It’s not as if Knightly Castes have never been an effective paradigm. But either way this dude was jumped by like 30 people, seemingly of both men & women. The personal qualities of whoever is being entrapped is not the most relevant factor in this situation.
I would always say that to my radlib ex that would argue against age gap relationships because there were “power dynamics”—I swear to God, sometimes I truly wonder if she was LiberalSocialist—but she was a conventionally attractive White woman with a good career who made way more money than me, a broke POC with no career. Like, how can people not see the logical conclusion of this?
Power dynamics. Do you disagree?

I feel like we’re splitting hairs here the correct takeaway should be imo that it’s always ok to beat up a US soldier
You’re right, Comrade. I take back what I said.
Their desire to beat a US soldier was justified but their analysis was wrong.
ok nvm i stan them good job
This is 1000% it

They’re just doing what the unions want. Do you disagree?

lol this is extremely cool and good (fucking up the troop, not shot, although maybe it helped as a sort of terrible cost combat boost!)
also when you have little to lose you can definitely go harder then some overconfident asshole who thinks they are trained to kill by the best
but is really no better then some IDF shitbag.

Tell your pal I say thank you for his service.

You miss that whole pizzagate / q Anon thing or what
You mean the conspiracy theory that
CW Sensitive topics.
“Washington D.C. Lizardmen are trafficking elementary-age minors using a Pizza Restaurant as a front organization”?
Yes, I’m aware of that. It’s also an obviously unrelated form of brainworm to what’s going on here.
Age-gap discourse is only tangentially related to that kind of stuff.
what power dynamics, theyre both in college lol
It’s Hexbear lore.
College aged but I think the guy is a soldier, so very critical support to the Christian weirdos thinking they have a claim on this woman
It’s hilarious because interracial marriage should be absolutely banned under that logic, as would wealth-gap disparity and
wait
heterosexual marriage would be banned too
was the pedophile witch-hunt a secret GAY psyop all along?
Exactly!
