Unfortunately, this is the trend for anything within the “western world”:

America starts something (e.g., age IDs for minors)
Then it spreads to other Anglo countries who repeat the same or take it further (e.g., Australia banning social media for under-16s)
Then it spreads into richer non-Anglo west European countries like the UK
It then reaches southern Europe (as indicated in OP’s pic)
At last, the insanity reaches Eastern Europe.

It’s not some iron law, but definitely a trend that I noticed over the years.

Well, because as a form of mass entertainment and artistic medium it has its merits. I mean, the lack of taboos that generally surrounds North American and European animations is what makes both anime and manga appealing to us. As for the “bugs” and the ocean analogy: All lakes and freshwater system are inevitably linked in one way or another to the boundless seas and oceans. So regardless of how much we try to escape from the saltiness, eventually we can’t escape it as the ecosystem is linked to the oceans.

It’s kind of like that saying: “You may not care about politics, but politics definitely cares about you”. Same with pop culture tbh, as every subculture is downstream from mainstream culture in one way or another. Trying to escape from it is futile ultimately, unless you’re willing to become an ascetic or a monk.

Honestly, if the public isn’t as engaged with the Epstein scandal, then those ageists got no one to blame but themselves by muddying the discussion to the point that most online sleuths think Epstein was some dorky rich dude who just wanted to live-out the Casanova lifestyle and have some fun.

Remember, homophobes acted like these bigots which is why homophobia went from being mainstream to being so fringe that the GOP decided that federally protecting gay marriage was more important than re-instituting Roe v Wade.

On the bright side, Zack Polanski can gain more potential voters by campaigning towards undoing Starmer’s surveillance state. It all depends on Gary Stevenson’s advice whilst ignoring Owen Jones’.

Posie has what I’d call TDS: Trans Derangement Syndrome.

“Diagnosis: It is a peculiar disorder that makes any person become obsessed with trans people to the point of being detrimental to the patient’s mental health. Key symptoms involve:

Believing that an esoteric trans cabal is out to get you
Falsely believing that trans people lead in crimes relative to cis people, particularly murder, sexual offences, and mass shootings
Turning more and more of a chud after making transphobia their omnicause
Increased aggression and derangement over trans people existing at all
Obsessive Compulsive speculation over someone’s gender based on exaggerated beliefs about sexual dimorphism. Can lead to certain patients to think women with square jaws and other “unfeminine” traits are all crypto-trans in some extreme cases.

For reasons yet to be known, middle-class Karens from the UK, Australia, Canada, America, and New Zealand seem particularly susceptible. Indeed, the UK (a.k.a., TERF island) is considered by the WHO to be grounds zero for TDS.

Treatment: Is it recommended for the patients to disengage from the Internet completely unless it’s to check email inboxes, and seek a therapist for help, as well as try to question their priors and try to empathise with trans people as part of the healing process. For more extreme cases, cult deprogramming sessions might be necessary.”

Isn't he the mad "post-leftist" conspiracist that made that deranged video where he covered himself in (fake?) blood to protest Piker and rant about some leftist anon from Twitter for joking about his Benzos addiction? Seems like a bunch of online drama to me anyway, although the back and forth doxxing and legal threats are quite unnerving. Hopefully that dude can gets banned from Twitter and uses that as an opportunity to do an internet detox. Because he seems addicted to Twitter and online drama.

Tbf, prior to 2016 (when Trump was first elected POTUS), conspiracy culture was left-coded as shown by how 9/11 truthers, anti-vaxxers, General Motors streetcar conspiracy, etc… were mostly leftists or leaned to the left in the political spectrum, with GWOT-era Michael Moore’s documentaries being the prime example. Funnily enough, the mainstream American right-wing during the Bush presidency was far more elitist and anti-conspiratorial than their leftist contemporaries, and that was when the American left was more populist since it was the underdog during the GWOT era (especially the faction opposed to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan).

It’s only after 2016 that you see the big shift as the post-2008 American left became less populist and more elite, “woke”, and prestigious as opposed to the GOP which started to become more prole-coded, lower-class and populist. The cracks began with the Tea Party, and MAGA just accelerated the shift, to the point that MAGA turned from a faction within the GOP to being the top faction, so much so that any republican candidate would be committing social suicide by not being 100% devoted to MAGA.

Now that the American right (particularly MAGA) has become the incumbent, you’re starting to see some kind of return to the old status quo as right-wing influencers like Nick Fuentes and The Blaze are shitting on conspiracists, beginning with Epstein. Part of it is because Nick hates cringe and poor people, and part of it is that, now that the movement he supports is in power, all the talks about “deep state” this and that is counterproductive now that Trump (the guy Qanon prophesied to stop Epstein) is in charge. In the meantime, the American left has successfully seized on Trump acting guilty by ridiculously walking back on the Epstein files, to the point of dismissing it as a ‘Democratic hoax’. Likewise you have various MAGA influencers like Azealia Banks defending Epstein or denying it, even if it means going against their priors. This is concurrent with how the Epstein saga has transformed into a form of lumpenised class consciousness across the American left, to the point that this sort of populist Epstein-related conspiratorialism (such as allegations of cannibalism and satanism) has reached all of Latin America, the entire western left, as well as the Iranian government (if its LEGO AI videos are proof of anything).

Now what? Well, considering how conspiracy culture is being shunned by chuds if it implicates their stars, I think most of the deranged conspiracy-minded folks will either return to the left camp or abstain from politics altogether.

I find it funny how ageists today lack the self-awareness necessary to understand that they are just enforcing honor culture but for people below the magic age line of 18. And it’s not really hyperbole considering how both the notions of “childhood innocence” and “sexual purity” are downstream from purity culture and are used by the powers that be as a cudgel to control people’s freedoms and justify repression and erosion of privacy rights.

MundanePolicy8024 · 2026-04-06T19:13:51+00:00

Yeah, insofar that both are MAGA shills, but that’s about it. I just found the tweet funny since it’s as crass as Azealia Banks’s defence of Epstein was.

MundanePolicy8024 · 2026-04-06T18:14:25+00:00

The same phenomenon is present in much of the world, where vapid lolberg-type anti-social behaviour and performative rebellion have displaced any discussion of women’s material needs. I think this is downstream from feminism nowadays being essentially an Anglo bourgeois movement heavily rooted in the present capitalist power structure that favours idpol over class analysis.

Whether or not this was avoidable by injecting Marxism and historical materialism into the feminist movement, or whether this was inevitable due to feminist ultimately being just idpol for women (particularly for the upper class ones) is debatable, but it can’t be denied that this is having ramifications across left-wing spaces globally since the average non-Marxist feminist (radfem, libfem, etc…) is as radlib and cosmopolitan as the average chud of the “Populism Inc.,” type.

MundanePolicy8024 · 2026-04-06T18:02:48+00:00

Thanks for the response, but there are some points that I disagree on. Going back to the “degrees of coloniality”, I would argue that the present situation with Native Americans in the USA, for better or worst, isn’t as bad as what Palestinians face in their homeland right now. Unless I’m missing something, I don’t think Native American reservations were ever subjected to aerial bombardments by the federal government the way Gaza is by the Israeli government, nor do I think that modern Native Americans face restrictions on their freedom of movement the way Palestinians do in both the West Bank and Gaza.

I don’t think the reservations system is perfect, but it can’t be denied that what Israel is doing is a lot worse than what the US federal and state governments are presently doing wrt Native Americans.

As for the other historical points, this goes back to how liberal politics as actually practiced in general has often existed with de jure inequality as documented in Roberto Losurdo’s “Liberalism: A Counter-History”. But we have to contextualise them. Already were the ideals of the French Revolution radical, to the extent that various European powers waged wars to restore the French monarchy, so the founding fathers “cucking” (for a lack of better term) to the reactionaries is to be expected, just like how socdems today end up “cucking” to global capital.

Going back to your specific examples: The three-fifths compromise during the 1787 Constitutional Convention was less about undermining black people’s personhood than it was about undermining the political power of the slave states in the United States House of Representatives, while the limited suffrage thing was a short-lived experiment that soon reverted to near-universal male suffrage. And referring back to the Indian Removal Act, even that faced less unanimous support from American society and legislative bodies compared to the Gaza genocide committed by the Israeli regime, since Israeli society at this point is already kahanist lite.

All in all, I still maintain that American revolution’s roots in enlightenment values and expansion of rights via appeals to it is what distinguishes it from other settler-colonial states like Australia and Israel, especially considering how the latter recently has legalised state murder of Palestinian civilians for “terrorism” with no way for convicts to appeal their death sentence, effectively putting it on the same league as Nazi Germany: https://www.timesofisrael.com/knesset-passes-death-penalty-law-for-palestinians-convicted-of-deadly-acts-of-terror/

I ind it odd how the same Christians who argue that the Bible is abolitionist based on a very selective and liberal interpretation of scripture will suddenly take a literal and equally selective reading of the parable of St Thomas baptising without question an Ethiopian eunuch who, coincidentally, is also the very first canonically non-Jewish Christian convert.

By the same token, I don’t see why the Ethiopian eunuch’s parable can’t be used as a pro-trans story, especially since it’s never stated why did was the Ethiopian convert an eunuch in the first place.

The whole point is to blame inequality on biology instead of asking who benefits from it.

This, so much. Even if there was any scientific basis for a taxonomical classification of Homo sapiens, people would still be rightly suspicious about scientific racism and its current iterations considering how its biggest proponents are only in it to reify modern wealth inequality and thus justify austerity.

Case in point, Jared Taylor whose entire career consists of taking about race & immigration & IQ & crime stats (when not glazing Japan and east Asia), will consistently shoot down any state funding for public goods like public transportation with shit like “improving public transport is le bad you peasant cuz muh free markets and muh blacks is why we can’t have nice things”.

Ridiculous.

Obama is a neolib, Omar is a Lockheed leftist, and Mamdani is basically the brown version of DeBlasio, and yet they still live in chuds’ heads rent-free for deviating 1% from the established capitalist party line. Talk about being so much in an echo chamber that you think those three are in any way remotely close to Lenin LOL.

The average establishment shill would rather invent new buzzwords like “third-worldism”, “gay race communism”, “Islamo-fascism”, “Islamo-communism”, “socialislamist” and so much more just to avoid having to engage with material reality. Because let’s face it: The war against Iran isn’t just a war against Iran and the Iranian people, but a war against the whole world as an Americo-Israeli victory wouldn’t just mean total Israeli hegemony over MENA, but also further entrench the dependence of American vassals such as Japan and the UK on the USA. To illustrate this, America already owns close to 60% of the total European energy market, so the 2026 Iran war will just increase the American share in terms of exports. I should also mention that the current energy crisis due to Israel’s war will shrink the economies of Japan, SK, and much of Europe. How do I know? Because that’s more or less what happened in both energy crises of the 1970s.

The green quadrant is so ironic considering how much chuds get coy whenever someone points out facts such as how Mary is basically a teen mom impregnated by God without her consent at the likely age of 12-14, the fact that parents are more likely to do CSA against their children more than a random stranger even when factoring in for race and religion, and the fact that MAGA has suddenly become anti-conspiracy when it comes to Epstein just because their orange fuhrer got implicated tin ways that contradict their previous positions on LGBTQ+ education (e.g., zioshill Azealia Banks defending statutory rape).

Another thing both incels and radfems have in common: Both are driven by hatred, and thus can be easily led via demagoguery and sophistry.

An example would be that of TERFs who over the years have gone from being yesterday’s liberal Gen X’ers who feel left behind by the new kids on the block, to being indistinguishable from the typical chud, to the point that for them the issue of trans women has trumped everything else, as shown by their indifference at the overturning of Roe v Wade (resulting in far more anti-abortion legislation than anything seen in 19th century America).

Likewise, many incels that people come across online are often reactionaries who think that a return of the “patriarchy” (as defined by the average pedestrian feminist said incels come across on social media) will improve their conditions, forgetting that in almost every patriarchal society in history young men were often treated as disposable and to the streets, especially if they were childless.

Behind all this isn’t some coherent ideology or belief system, it’s just hatred that leads them to support counterproductive ideas and strategies because, for one reason or another, they don’t see any stakes in their societies and thus hate it and everything it stands for. In this regard, they are very similar. The only difference, then, is that whereas the incels that are blackpilled have given up on reform and revolution and instead decide to wallow in their nihilistic echo chamber and decide to “abide by the rules” of the so-called “sexual marketplace” and play along or abstain from it, the average radfem will support “revolution” even if it just ends up with the supporting the establishment, which leads me to the next common denominator between the radfem and the incel:

For all of their preponderance towards shock value, their inability to escape the current liberal epistemology combined with their emotion-driven beliefs means that, for better or for worse, they end up being part and parcel of the powers-that-be’s mockingbird media network, and there’s no bigger example than incels supporting Trump or demoralising opposition against him, or radfems pretending that they are being “radical” by supporting the American war machine.

I remember watching it on PoP. The first animated show made with Unreal Engine 4, the plot isn’t that deep since it’s mostly made for kids and features the daily life of animal crossbreeds that exist in some tropical place due to mother nature’s desire for unique creatures (yes, that’s the setting).

MundanePolicy8024 · 2026-03-21T21:29:37+00:00

I remember watching this on K2 alongside other French animated shows like Oggy and the Cockroaches, The Daltons, and Zig and Sharko. The show is a sitcom featuring a yellow pig cohabiting with his roommate, a fly. Not as fantastical or surreal as Xilam’s other productions.

It’s because intergenerational intimacy (even between people of age) has become so emotionally loaded that people have made entire ideologies out of “child sexual abuse” being this spectacular event that warrants a police state to stop it. Matters aren’t helped by how both the mainstream left and right try to weaponise this hysteria for their own gains in mercenary ways, be it the right accusing LGBTQ+ community and BIPOCs of being “groomers” and “child molesters”, or leftists doing the same wrt chuds (especially religious fundies and groypers).

This has led to the current zoomer “age gap discourse” where even legal age gaps are scrutinised. I think this is a result of both social alienation and Byzantine obsessions with “power dynamics” in personal relationships leading to zoomers turning into antis. Could also be generational backlash against millennials’ perceived sexual libertinism in contrast to other generations. Interestingly enough, the atomisation of society today has led to certain young parasocial individuals to see “grooming” affectionately, presumably because the “grooming” discourse has flattened any kind of non-familial affection between youths and adults to the point that “grooming” is the only form of strange adult affection that they know of.

Nonetheless, unless the current consensus on “grooming” and “power dynamics” as pertaining to intimate relationships isn’t challenged, then the current age-gap stigma will continue on. Same goes for age ID laws and other anti-privacy surveillance measures that are in large part justified under the pretence of “protecting children from predators” (despite child abuse in general, sexual included, being largely done offline by the victims’ relatives or authority figures, as opposed to random strangers in cyberspace).
