I do want to bring up, that, from what I've heard, the victim in the Jacob Geller stuff didn't want to come forward about it. I cannot imagine what it's like to become a social media sensation this way. I know the truth is out now, but like I don't think she wants to see randos chiming in with their based opinions on all the terrible things the legal system should have done to her abuser. It just really puts me off that this was released without her involvement.

I've seen it so often that people ignore the victim and instead go about focusing all attention on enacting violence against the rapist. It's basically like a cue for the "good men" to be allowed to pretend to be protectors of women via performative extreme violence against the "bad men." Ofc it isn't just men doing this, but still.

I'm not like an anti-violence person btw I do believe we should have feminist violence, but I believe in the violence necessary to abolish patriarchy, not legalist and performative ultra-super punishment against the endless stream of rapists that patriarchy creates; it doesn't help to whack the moles harder if you don't address why they keep showing up and it definitely can't un-rape people. If we just used half of the mental energy we spend fantasizing about creative ways to punish rapists on actually helping victims... imagine.

Testosterone isn't what makes men rape people.

First term Trump pre-Covid could already be more leftwing than John Fetterman, Biden, and some other neo-liberal Democrats.

Maybe in 2028 it'll be like 2016 Trump but Blue (Dem) vs. Nick Fuentes (Rep).

I hope you do more than just that, especially 2 years from now if they run a candidate as terrible as Biden or Kamala again.

After all, anything other than missionary for the purpose of conception was punishable by eternal damnation

I bet that this has never once in history been successfully enforced. The Catholic church might have said it, but it doesn't mean that even most people followed it.

Our conception of the European Medieval period is distorted because the Church and the aristocracy were the people who kept the most written records, but there were many people, especially peasants, erased from history because they were pretty irreverent about the Church.

I draw the line when it's a real state's legal system that's doing this, and when it stops preventing there from being more victims, and when the reasoning is wrong.

Testosterone is not the rape hormone. Removing it does not fix someone's hatred of women.

Legal consequences tend to not to discourage rape past a certain threshold. If rapists are legally put to death that makes them more likely to kill the victim.

BE... what country... Belgium?

Nobody does blood sacrifices nowadays, that requires a whole ass animal, not a little nick.

I don't like social contract theory.

It's we woo! Not we you! WEE WOO WEE WOO!

Communist hooligan, here, arriving at the scene!

Punching someone in the face for being misogynistic is a kindness that may correct him from going irreversibly down that road.

I know of one thing that might qualify:

::: spoiler I don't believe in this, but... if you wanna know... You need a thin sheet of lead or pewter, but steel probably can work without being illegal / environmentally damaging. Preferably the metal sheet should be close to dark grey and not shiny.

Using a knife you must deeply scratch the metal to engrave the names or a sufficient description of who you will curse on it in sentences like "I CURSE ALAN SMITHEE, JAN NOWAK, (...) FOR THE TRANSGRESSION OF (...) Make sure the lettering is small enough. If the different people did different things you have to write it too.

Make sure to make your demands be in-between sycophantic and entitled. The chthonic powers like brazenness and high emotion, but at the same time to be addressed with respect and the praise reserved for a god. You are not addressing something that empathizes with you (that is a grave mistake). You are addressing something that has power and enjoys it and it likes to do little favors for humans as a way of enjoying that power.

Then, you need to fold it once with a hammer, and then drive a nail through the tablet.

And finally, drop the tablet in a place physically deep within the Earth, in a place without water to corrode it and where it will not be disturbed. The drop part is important: it has to be in some place "deep" enough to be unreachable once dropped. It has to fall into inescapable darkness. You should not look down or look back. :::

Nine out of ten sorcerers agree this curse increases the likelihood of ruination and absolute despair for at least one of the people involved by one-hundred to two-hundred and twenty percent, side effects may include all-consuming regret and eternal torment after death. 😙 (this is satire.)

That's at least something good. I hope I'm not being fooled.

ivM6 to IM7 is my favorite.
