In city after city, after the police are lambasted by the movement after some controversial incident of a cop killing a black man, the police become less aggressive with their policing, and the direct result is that the rate of black on black murder goes up. But to the Black Lives Matter movement, this is immaterial, the important thing is that they've successfully stirred up a fuss.

He was upset because his ASD (I'll just use ASD instead of aspergers, autism, or pddnos since it's broad, or I'll call it SSS for selfshutting mindsickness) was went after. To a pridester, SSS is the most important thing, not people with SSS. <br /><br />Someone with autism sexually abused or beaten by a gang of bullys? Cricket chirps from them (or maybe one post somewhere with a few replies, but then forgotten). <br /><br />But a commercial or advertisement saying something like "autism is hurting your child, we want to help him/her!"? The ad will get pulled after entire brigades of spammers attack their sites or fill their inboxes with mail.<br /><br />They don't care about autistic people's human rights, they only care about autism.<br />Ironically, being a bit more narcissistic, selfish, or egotistical in a productive way, as in thinking about YOU yourself would be a step up than the worship of a syndrome. It's incredibly disturbing and disgusting, it's sorta masochistic, believing your are subserviant to your autism. Like any pride (not to be confused with rights) group that cares more about the indentity instead of being themselves. Are obscene gay pride parades getting any human rights for gay people in the middle east? Of course not, they don't even let them happen there anyway.<br /><br />To add, thinking of yourself in a productive way is beneficial and is beneficial also for social justice. If you think of yourself, you will not think of your skin, gender, religion, tribe, clan, or sexuality. Not denying they exist, but if other's think of themselves, society will have lower percentages of prejudice. If a black person robs you, you bring him to court, if he says "black people are being oppressed! You are hurting us!" the risk of associating all black people with crime increases in said society. If he did not invoke such, there will be less risk of temptation and a greater chance of just seeing him as an individual criminal.<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbI7gxxbYpo<br />This cutscene from a videogame, the bioshock series, worth playing sometime, you can get a the trilogy for maybe 60 dollars, provides 50 hours of gameplay I guess so it's a good deal. This cutscene from the first game is a bit extreme for modern tastes, altruism has it's place, but it is technically correct in one area.<br /><br />Was slavery, the holocaust, and more caused by anyone saying "think of yourself, mind your own business, you or other people have no obligation to some greater purpose, all there is is the living of your own life." It also means don't put up with yourself being oppressed.<br /><br />To clarify the latter part, It is standing up for yourself through true blind social justice. If there is actual sexism in a workplace and you are a woman, think of you yourself who is being oppressed, not concepts such as "the patriarchy" or "third wave feminism", justice is blind, your focus should be on yourself not being mistreated, not "femaleness" being attacked. It's almost as if many of these groups are cults with no individuality. If someone says something bad about your almightly lord spaghetti monster, it's about your lord spaghetti monster, not you, the person who belongs to the cult.<br /><br />-GaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5794535954827182754.post-63361159408476322612017-03-01T00:34:46.598-05:002017-03-01T00:34:46.598-05:00He was never rejected, because he never approached...He was never rejected, because he never approached A SINGLE ONE.<br />I read his manifesto, he never once asked a girl or went up to one, he just went to a starbucks or the beach and sat for hours waiting.

One thing I noticed on the posts seems to be the same thing repeated generalisations and half truths. Anyone can make a theory or fact up and anyone will believe it. I draw attention to what seems from the writing and thoughts on this blog from various people a dislike for homosexuals, anyone with a mental disorder or anyone who doesn't fit into your (some posters) perspective world view.<br /><br /> I Don't mean any disrespect but are you autistic or have been diagnosed with any mental illness john. From what I see is a defined rigid world view of people and their place in the world. From what I have read I could say that you are an autistic closeted homosexual man, with a grandiose messiah complex who likes to pass judgement on others and believes women are illogical critters who can't seem to function properly (probably all autistic or have aspergers) <br /><br />But that would be a GENERALIZATION as I mentioned on another post. I don't know you or even believe that what written above is true I wrote it to illustrate the journey from A to B is often not a straight line and by jumping to conclusion based what people have read or seen you often don't get the real picture. <br /><br />Case in point Elliot Roger I Don't think we will ever know if or what mental illness he had, but the speculation and labelling should stop. Its a disservice to people who quietly live there lives with mental illness to be tarnished with the same brush (accusations of autism, aspergers, even depression can't tell you how many times I have heard people call others weak because of it) as all you have to do is type in personality disorders or mental illness on Google to get people talking about something they know nothing about. Anyone can gather obscure facts to support their arguments. For instance one might read this post and jump to the conclusion that I'm a preachy, entitled prick. But you will infer what you want to see in my post. All I ask is people keep an open unbiased mind on a side note studies have shown an increase in mental illness and pollution think of all that mercury and particulates in our little bubble of space (did I make that up?)

How c...I wasn't even being dishonest with you. How can I be dishonest with you if I am trying to have a honest, mature conversation with you about the things you write about? <br /><br />I said I won't judge you based off your personality because I don't know you personally. I didn't say that I didn't judge because I stated that I can only go off what you are writing, just as you do. <br /><br />But I was giving you the benefit of the doubt and hoping you weren't assuming things about me, but it's clear now that you are. You assume I am Asian. And you assume I have Asperger's. Why? What is your problem with assuming things about people, especially people who are online? Is it because I don't judge those who are different from me? Because I stand up for those who are being hated for no reason? I mean why assume things about people you don't know, and then on top of that judge them?? <br /><br />I was just trying to have a mature conversation with you about your blogs and you want to assume everything about me. No wonder why people are doing what you do, assume you have Asperger's Syndrome. You act like it. And I can only say that based off how you are coming at me and how you write your blogs. And the fact that I live with someone who has Asperger's Syndrome. So again, I am not surprised that someone would assume you have it. <br /><br />So why don't you check yourself and your hypocrisy. It seems to me that you don't even realize what you are doing and how you come off to people. I wasn't even attacking you, and then you have toe nerve to pretty much call me a liar and assume things about me. .. Wow... I'm just dumbfounded by how people can be online. <br /><br />I try to stay mindful with you and try to understand different points of views. But you give me nothing to understand, you just judge me and everyone else that doesn't agree with you 100%<br /><br />So I'm done having this conversation with you. I thought you were intelligent. I thought you were mature. But it's clear you're not. You have issues that you need to sort out. And I hope you can figure them out. Maybe you can figure out why you are so obsessed in talking down on people, judging people, and writing about Asperger's Syndrome, narcissistic individuals, and sociopaths and talk about them as if they are human-beings.<br /><br />Some people you just can't have real conversations with, why do I even try. I guess I try to stay hopeful that maybe there is more to what they write. But you are something else. All you care about is you and your opinion and your narrow mindedness. <br /><br />CK Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5794535954827182754.post-5105831861491292962014-06-09T10:22:30.990-04:002014-06-09T10:22:30.990-04:00CK --

It's 6am where I am, and I type fast and miss a few things. <br /><br />But not everyone is going to agree with everything you have to say. And when I read a blog, especially someone who has so much as you do, you're personality comes through. <br /><br />People judge, and I am judging based off what you write and how you write it. Especially when you are talking about murders, homosexuals, people with Asperger's syndrome, or any other disorder. You talk down on them. You judge them. I wanted to think that you were a troll at first, but after reading so much of your blogs, you just judge. It's a shame. <br /><br />But like I said, I can't judge you on your personality. Since I don't know you. I can only judge what I read and assume, just as you do.

Not a lot of people have any clue what Asperger's syndrome is rally about. People only know of the negative stereotypes. And all the other oddiest and quirks they go through, people see it as negative, because they aren't being mindful. People with Asperger's don't do what he did. And besides, Aspergers isn't a reason why someone would kill. A person with a mental disorder or not, can kill just as easily and just as violent or worse. He did what he did because he as diluted and out of touch with reality. I don't think he has Aspergers. And sorry to break it to you, but most guys are clueless when it comes to women, don't try to kid yourself on that one. <br /><br />And I don't know what you are talking about. But okay, if you want to talk about stereotyping. You seem to be doing that. It's quite odd and well, makes you come off very small minded. I would never judge a group of people based off one experience or he said she said bullshit. It just makes you look petty and again, small minded. I read some of your stuff, and all you do is stereotype people. It's almost like you hate them, even though most of them look like you or I. <br /><br />But I didn't come here to argue with you. I'm sure you have plenty of people that have tried to tell you that you are being wrong for stereotyping or whatever. Especially towards people who have Aspergers Syndrome or is Autistic. <br /><br />But hey, you are going to do you and that is not my problem. Just try to be more mindful and come from a better place of understanding.

I agree that Asians tend to be more submissive, but if you're so deadset against stereotyping Aspies, shouldn't you refrain from stereotyping yourself? <br /><br />Also, to characterize a description of a mental disorder as "stereotyping" is ridiculous. It's a little like saying that anybody who says that sociopaths are dishonest, disloyal, and impulsive is "stereotyping" sociopaths. "Stereotypes" exist for a reason. <br /><br />I also find it quite interesting that your worst insult to me is to accuse me of having Aspergers.

He was apart of a woman hate group and complained so much about women. His problem was with himself and not being in touch with reality and that you can be a shy guy and have all the finer things, but that is not what women want. Women don't want a guy who throwing in their face, "I have this I have that." Women won't mind a shy awkward guy, but he comes off very obsessive and abusive. <br /><br />And remember he is half Asian, he was probably around his mother a lot. And Asians have a submissive attitude, so looking away and not talking much is apart of the personality. That doesn't mean he has Asperger's. <br /><br />And I read some of your other stuff.

I wrote about it here after the Lanza shooting:<br /><br />http://justnotsaid.blogspot.com/2012/12/do-autistic-people-have-full-range-of.html<br /><br />As i said in that post, Aspies are in some ways the opposite of sociopaths in that they would be the least successful manipulators around. But the existence of a Lanza and a Rodger would seem to give the lie to that theory. <br /><br />As far as Dahmer, I never saw the Aspergers in him. I saw him a couple of his jailhouse interviews on TV, and he didn't strike me as an Aspie. But now that you mention it, I guess that whole bit about wanting the dead bodies to keep him company so he wouldn't feel lonely is weird enough to be something other than normal sociopathy, so who knows.

All three looked like they were somewhere along the asbergers spectrum. I think it's possible (though rare)to be both a sociopath and an aspie. Asbergers/autism is described as a lack of cognitive empathy: they have a hard time understanding why someone feels upset, for example. However, almost all have normal affective empathy; if they come to understand that they've hurt you, they feel bad. A psychopath is just the opposite, they can understand how you feel from an intellectual standpoint, but they don't care. I would think that someone could have a deficit/lack of both kinds of empathy, and that could describe all three of those killers.

You just don't seem to find as many men who indulge in that kind of silliness (and take it seriously, as some women do). <br /><br />You're right about the IQ statistics: men have a wider, less tall bell curve, with more idiots and geniuses.

(He achieved a certain brief infamy for going straight to the third and fourth questions in a set in an effort to uncover the 'Double Jeopardy" questions. He has some points. He also seems to take a lot of these comedic movies and TV shows a little too seriously, like that Washington Post feminist who said that Elliot Rodger's action was a direct outgrowth of all those Seth Rogen-Judd Apatow movies where the schlubby guy gets the beautiful girl. (She took movies too seriously too.) It would never have occurred to me to have a debate with someone about whether in that Revenge of the Nerds scene where the nerd gets the girl by wearing a Darth Vader mask and pretending to be her boyfriend that constituted rape or not. <br /><br />The thing about nerds is, the way they're perceived is often purely a function of their looks. I know guys who follow some things extremely closely, to the point of meekness, yet are not perceived that way because they're big and good-looking. Rodger wasn't a nerd so much as would-be, frustrated playboy who had no idea how to actually be one. He got called a nerd because he was small and weak, but was he an obsessive Trekkie or anything like that? Not that I know of.

Interest...That makes sense John (2nd and 3rd para). Interesting insight.<br /><br />As for the first paragraph, I feel like people should be more mindful that misogyny means hatred and dislike and possibly distrust of women. Its obviously used too loosely if those are the things people mean by it. It just sounds like a silly accusation inferred from somebody's sexism or perceived sexism.<br /><br />How much less rational do you think women are? Their IQs are about the same as men's on average, possibly a few points lower. IQ is very much to do with reasoning ability which leads me to believe they must have reasoning abilities pretty much on par with men and whatever their IQ suggests (tho I read we the male range is larger- more idiot and genius males). Are you suggesting they are in some way not using their reasoning skills because they are more emotional and intuitive? I guess that's what you mean, right?<br /><br />Stevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15276736643046430370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5794535954827182754.post-8757312637433930742014-05-30T09:28:51.394-04:002014-05-30T09:28:51.394-04:00Steven --
I think a lot of what gets called "...Steven --<br />I think a lot of what gets called "misogyny" by feminists is actually just men pointing out that women are not suited for the infantry, or are less logical, or less rational, stuff like that which is true but which they don't want to believe. And there is the "disparate impact" kind of "misogyny," where women don't achieve as much and it's considered "discriminate." <br /><br />But there is a subset of men who are remarkably ugly toward women. They will use any opportunity to put them down for their looks, or their sexuality, or anything they can think of. I've known some of these guys. The thing is, most of these guys are just as ugly tower other guys, but the other guys don't complain about it as much and don't see it as being directed at them because of their gender. I remember my last boss on Wall Street, who was unquestionably a sociopath, who would remark on various women's looks with great bitterness, as if their lack of attractiveness was some kind of personal affront to him (I'm not exaggerating). And sometimes he would say these things so that the woman could hear him. I can see why they would get the impression that he hated women. But he was in fact just about as ugly toward other men, constantly cutting them down for their perceived lack of masculinity (when they didn't do what he wanted them to), or their stupidity, etc. <br /><br />So, yes, your female Croatian friend has undoubtedly seen some guys who act in a condescending and arrogant way towards women, but my guess is that practically all of those guys have a similarly inhumane attitude toward other men as well.
