I humbly suggest to all would-be employers that are now Alina S.'s defendants: file a countersuit for damages based on fraud. This man is not seeking a job; he's seeking a lawsuit.
EIther that, or offer him the job sought. He won't take it--he's got a good thing going for now.
The British before the American Revolution had a terrifying form of capital punishment called, “Death by Drowning.” It involved a post, shackles, and the tide. No electricity necessary. So really you could call it “net zero.”
Why would they? They are government employees with full job security and pension rights. All they have to do is ignore larger considerations and enforce abusive regulations to the letter.
Tell me you've never tried to take legal action against a broke person without telling me you've never tried to take legal action against a broke person.
Which is great if you're the government, because the process costs you nothing (the taxpayers eat the cost). When you're a business, the process punishes your own bottom line.
Having done it a number of times, I can tell you that it is like peeing during an ocean swim -- it has no detectable effect on the ocean, and you don't even get to enjoy a warm feeling.
But maybe he is not broke after so many tax payers also fund funded claims. Even if he were, an attachment of earnings is surely within the panoply of Herman jurisdictional procedures.
In today's society of convoluted values he/she/it can likely apply for a government grant to hold seminars for training others to support themselves in this new field of human endeavor and progress.
Reminds me of the patent trolls who only job is to create or buy a current patent, and then sue individuals and small companies for using something that infringes on that. Like the patent trolls that had the "podcast" patent who would shakedown podcasters if they were successful at all.
Reminds me more of the shitheels who go out and extort businesses for failure to comply with the ADA. And I don't mean large businesses which can afford both compliance and to fight back. No, it's always some Mom and Pop that's made an effort to comply, but has a handrail or a handicapped counter half an inch too high or too low.
I heard a stat the other day - not sure how true - that a survey was done and that something like 30% of population think they will get their retirement from winning a lawsuit. Pathetic.
Not that I intend to aim for that route, but I think I might find it reasonable to state that if I were going to get a retirement, it would be by winning the lottery of some sort. Either Powerball directly, or getting lucky on an IPO, or winning a lawsuit. But ultimately, I expect my “retirement” to come in the form of a Glock, or some other form of… “self-retirement”.
Yeah, it's grim, but I try not to simply ignore unpleasant realities.
The people who bring these "actions" are usually willing to settle for less than it would cost the defendant to take them to court or to countersue. They aren't usually asking for millions. It's a kind of extortion racket, because fighting it will cost more than settling.
I did work for one academic medical center that NEVER settled and always would go to court and the consequence was that they had very few of these "nuisance" suits because the malpractice attorneys knew it wouldn't be easy.
My business faced a similar lawsuit in 2012/2013 or so. The individual concerned scoured the job boards for roles advertised through employment agencies and for which he was usually unsuitable for (for various reasons), but applied for anyway and was unsuccessful. He then took these employment agencies to court for discrimination of some sort or another. The employment agencies settled out of court as they would rather settle than go through the stress and crippling financial costs to defend themselves. He then came to us. And we refused to settle as we felt that although the original job advert was technically incorrect (corrected as soon as it was brought to our attention), our recruitment process was exemplary with regards to his application. He was not rejected at all but invited to interview (he refused as he lived in another city but promised he would relocate), then refused a telephone interview etc etc. He tried every trick in the book. Said he’d sent documents to court but the court could only prove an empty envelope had been received. Said it was a Jewish conspiracy (go figure). He lost every step of the way but kept appealing and the courts kept allowing his appeal. It eventually ended up in the high court which we won (again), the judge saying it was a travesty it had gone this far. But of course it was exceptionally expensive and incredibly stressful. We were a small business of 5 employees. This guy (I’d love to name him) made a living out of it. Until we refused to settle. Once that happened, he became known as a serial litigant and his career of fraudulent claims came to an end.
Why not name him? Ifyyou ultimately prevailed at trial, isn't this a matter of public record? Or is it that in Germany, public shaming is reserved for the blameless?
A minor point: if the "d" is required in all ad listings, but it sounds like all positions require diversity applicants be considered, what's the point of the "d"? Seems like it would be moot, and only exists to trip up unwary employers.
In effect, it does only exist to trip up unwary employers. However, I can explain where the "d" comes from, which doesn't make it less stupid. Every German noun has a grammatical gender. This includes professions. In English, a bus driver or a hairdresser can be of any gender. In German, they would be a Busfahrer and a Friseur if male, but a Busfahrerin and a Friseurin if female. Traditionally, you'd use the male form if you don't know the person's gender, like in a job ad or when just speaking generically about the profession. If I had a hairdresser I'd regular go to and she happened to be female, I'd say that I go to my Friseurin, otherwise I'd say I'm going "zum Friseur" (to the hairdresser) in a neutral way because I don't know in advance nor care what the person who will be cutting my hair has between their legs. Feminists have taken offence with this for a long time, but in the past 25 years or so (very roughly) they managed to convince decision-makers that the generic masculine is discriminatory. So, it has become quasi-mandatory for job ads to look like "Busfahrer/in" or "Busfahrer" (m/w) where the letters stand for "männlich" (male) and "weiblich" (female). Since 2019, there is a legally recognised "third gender" called "divers". Hence, job ads must look like "Busfahrer (m/w/d)". There are other variants, but that's probably the most common one other than just avoiding a job title. So in essence, although Alina S. certainly takes advantage of the new third gender, the exploit predates the whole trans craze. Some women have used this trick for many years.
If the 'd' is required in all job listings surely the places that host the jobs available know this and have a standard form (fill in the blanks type of thing) which avoids this issue? The whole thing is an example of stupidity.
He has cost Germany’s economy significantly more than whatever he’s been paid in settlements: his antics have increased legal friction and risk aversion for *every* firm in the country.
Assume (very conservatively) every job posting requires an additional 15 minutes of “Alina proofing”, likely with legal help or at least knowledge. The true economic cost - i.e. resources expended on this issue that cannot be expended elsewhere - is many, many multiples of his total settlements.
That might have been Alina's feelings, but could it be proved that the hiring company felt that way? Seems to me that their opinion would be the determining one.
Hey, the man has found his grift, and is running it like a pro.
You cannot say this is not funny.
Personally, I feel entertained seeing this sort of drama unfolding. Any state that has decided to give affirmative additional "rights" to some citizens because they are deficient in some way deserves to be mocked, exploited and pillaged like this, until it stops being retarded.
Good grief. Who said I was stressing about clown world? I only disagreed about this situation being funny. You seem to have assumed a number of things; heaven only knows why. You assume that this means I have no sense of humor whatsoever. Worse yet, you then proceed to give me unsolicited advice on how to live my life (while not knowing anything about me, or how I already live my life). Please keep your life coaching advice to yourself. I can guarantee your life will be better!
But our elites are indeed our own responsibility to deal with. If you're a white American, you should want a strong European homeland to always be here for you guys. It's turbo-retarded to see conflict between the same peoples separated by just an ocean.
So much of DEI/woke nonsense and it’s related hate speech regulations meant to suppress and control populations seem to have started in North America and drifted Eastward across the pond. Though… it also resembles Dark Ages Vatican authoritarianism. Which came first? The chicken or the egg?
Not sure about that. The US and Europe both try to blame the other for liberalism, which is and was widespread in both, even before WW2. Soviets also contributed tremendously to the erasing of "old" nationalisms and ethnic groups. Jewish intellectuals, undeniably so, and the nascent international institutions too.
Europeans tend to be quite liberal and progressive in average, especially when compared to other racial groups, so we were fast to adopt equality and this post-racial view of the planet.
Our early budding philosophers in America had to go to Germany to study, with consequent exposure to Marx and other influences. Subsequently bringing them back to spread in US academia like a coof virus.
But big picture, DEI/Woke is just a conduit for authoritarians seeking to cement power. In another time the conduit would have been different. The way both waffles and toast are just conduits for butter as my mother reminds me. LOL
The appeal of DEI/woke is it replaces God as a progressive religion. (I’d say the same for “scientism.”)
And as we all know, power hungry authoritarians cannot abide by a deity as they compete with sometimes conflicting rules to live by. Populations do not serve the state optimally if a higher power instructs them differently.
Not many people know this but Germany is one of if not the most litigious country on earth. There are entire law firms that all they do is go to tiny mum and dad webshops and find tiny errors with them and then sue them per error. I personally knew someone who set up a webshop and had photos showing the ingredients of the drinks he was selling but it somehow wasn't perfectly visible so one of these law firms sued him for a few hundred per item and he had to file bankruptcy.
Absolute cunts who deserve an eternity in hell with this shim.
The German law system is baffling and drove me nuts when I lived there. Not defending the seriously deranged parts of the US system, but the basic fundamentals of the German penal code make zero sense to me. Monetary theft is treated more harshly than rape. Murderers invariably get released, murder again and get released again. Tax evasion is treated as a much more serious crime than rape or physical battery or robbery. They even have snitch lines where neighbors can rat out anything that even looks like you are cheating the system. Their prisons are luxurious and each prisoner has in many ways more rights than law abiding citizens (for instance, they each a get a window for fresh air and light). It’s highly regulated and focused on the most obscure details, setting up exactly things like your case, where a larger company can abide by the obscure rules and smaller companies need to go bankrupt. And physical injury is harshly capped, so if a doctor performed a surgery and cut off the wrong leg (one had cancer, one didn’t) while under anesthesia, it’s a fixed damages amount (each body part has a cap). So even if the doctor did the same wrong surgery and also FORGOT the anesthesia and tortured you in the process, same fixed amount- too bad. And these amounts are crazy low, like 6,000 Euro or something.
Mental illness is harmful to everyone, the deranged and the healthy alike.
And our Alina S. is not so different from our Glenn G., is he? Glenn's hatred of America and Israel is the self-abasement he can safely perform in public and Alina's twisting of functional purpose is because he is not functional anywhere, publicly or privately.
These are personal tragedies inflicted as far as reach can go. And the lesson as always is "don't fuck up your kids."
I wouldn't go that far, but (with the greatest respect) I did think the comparison was kind of a stretch. Once again, Israel gets dragged into every argument—it's like the new Hitler.
I still consider SCA my cosmic twin, with whom I very rarely have even the slightest disagreement.
No, I didn't hear about it. I'm trying to cut back on the screen time and do more IRL now that summer is here. Also, I have to finish my house someday :)
Glenn Greenwald, a gay reporter who founded the Intercept, published the Snowden files, started questioning the DNC, and promptly got kicked out of the Intercept, and now works basically independently.
Him being gay is very relevant to the video in question, and that's all that need be said on that.
I don't want to hear about "his degree of self-loathing" from you, because why should I take seriously *what you think he thinks*?
Are you going to next tell me about my own degree of self-loathing? If you wish to tell me about your own personal degree of self-loathing, I might consider you a reputable source on the topic. Otherwise, no.
I had to give Karen Hunt a hard time too, for doing the same bullshit "pejorative as a foregone conclusion" writing. That kind of writing is unacceptable to me.
In principle, one can agree with this – but with the reservation that a society which no longer understands individual injury and fatalism as personal tragedies and refers them to the realm of personal responsibility by means of normative behaviour patterns focused on psychological compatibility with everyday life will no longer do justice to the personalities affected or the environment involved, and will thus lose itself and its community.
The absurd attempt to transfer all affliction and individual failure to collective social responsibility will ultimately destroy us. Because those who are willing to perform are arbitrarily declared ‘perpetrators’ based on their performance and success, and the ‘victims’ are robbed of the pain of personal responsibility and thus of the opportunity for personal growth. For growth, ‘becoming,’ is not possible without error and pain – and without growth and the gain of knowledge, ‘success’ and self-knowledge are unattainable.
Some damage is not fixable. For some people "growth" was turned off at the stage of injury and nothing has been found that could turn it back on again. For all the high-profile transsexuals I've heard of there is a common thread of highly-dysfunctional parenting or, sometimes as with Eddie Izzard, a loss in childhood that the person was never able to move through to a well-functional adult place. (He couldn't get his mother back and eventually just became her as best he could.)
Since the release of Greenwald's video I've been wondering if his father had abused him before leaving when Greenwald was six. Kink is not an aspect of gayness but of sickness.
Of course we're seeing in society right now an indulgence of good old fashioned tantrumming. Back to my first point. Don't fuck up your kids.
Thank you for your detailed response. I completely agree – as parents, our only responsibility is to not stand in the way of our children's potential. As a father and university lecturer, this has always been the only meaningful and satisfying approach for me. Nevertheless, individual deviations cannot be used to transfer responsibility to those who are not directly affected – the circle of personal responsibility remains the same. And if there are injuries within the family, these must be dealt with in this context and cannot be anonymously socialised – because then no one is responsible anymore, but those who are not involved become affected and ultimately victims.
Yes I agree completely about personal responsibility. But there's been no era in the entire history of civilization when we had that happy and productive state of being. Unfortunately the rabid fox bites too many other victims before he gets taken out. And--one can pity the creature whose true nature has been corrupted by an infection by no fault of his own. That's why one must harden one's heart to take him out in time.
A fitting analogy. But ultimately, we are only spiritually responsible for our own existence – becoming and passing away with confidence. I was able to experience how my mother – after many hurts and her own misdeeds – discovered her true self in peace and was then able to die calmly, happily and consciously. This had a profound effect on me – in my grief, I was happy for her and know that I am not yet ready.
I'm glad your mother and you in seeing it found peace at the end.
There's a concept in mystical Judaism of the rectification of the soul. It can be helpful for grappling with the feelings one may have about those who've treated us badly in life as we try to deal with their death.
Though all cults are bad overall, nevertheless sometimes there are little nuggets of wisdom and flashes of divine inspiration that manage to survive somewhere within the accumulated nonsense. The challenge of course is to find them.
I don't remember (off the top of my head) any that have done it as prolifically in the US as this gentleman has, but it has been done before.
And let us not forget the great JY- Jonathan Yaniv, who started this all in Canada by serially suing female waxing salon operators (many immigrants who did not have english as a first language) in Canadian Human Rights court for refusing to wax his junk. The German dude is rocking it, but the grift originated on the North American continent.
I mean... My thought is "Fuck it, wax the asshole. Badly."
"Oh dear, did I accidentally tear your scrotum? I'm so sorry. Maybe you should have gone somewhere that actually knows what to do with one of those, instead of a female focused salon."
But I'm a far more vindictive and vicious bastard than most people.
That is actually the problem. Waxing men's stuff is way different than waxing women's stuff. We have much less externally-with hair- to mess up. Men's waxing even uses different products and techniques because of this. Dude wanted to put these women (often from cultures in which they are not supposed to be around naked men other than husbands and thus only worked with female clients) in a no-win situation. Refuse me and I will sue. Hurt me and I will sue.
Last I knew he changed his name to 'Jessica Simpson'. I haven't kept track, but he used to message pre-teen girls on pop music fan sites...if you aren't familiar, his identity was protected by the Canadian government during those lawsuits. Women's blogs were nuked from space because they dared mention his name to try to warn others. The actual lawyers for the accused were not allowed to find out the pattern of abuse, contact the other women and their lawyers or otherwise mount a defense against his MO.
And people wonder where all the women who were against this shit went and why it is happening..
I humbly suggest to all would-be employers that are now Alina S.'s defendants: file a countersuit for damages based on fraud. This man is not seeking a job; he's seeking a lawsuit.
EIther that, or offer him the job sought. He won't take it--he's got a good thing going for now.
Probably best to just beat the guy to death.
The British before the American Revolution had a terrifying form of capital punishment called, “Death by Drowning.” It involved a post, shackles, and the tide. No electricity necessary. So really you could call it “net zero.”
Drawing and quartering relied on clean energy, too.
A bit messy don’t you think? Right up there with the “Blood Eagle.” There’s always, “an eye for an eye….”
I ran across that once out west.
probably cheaper too
Perhaps sell raffle tickets to participate in "striking a blow" for common sense and sanity?
I feel like if they gave him a job and then he underperformed they’d have to fire him and he’d sue for that, too. Best not get involved.
Doesn't seem like the judges care.

Why would they? They are government employees with full job security and pension rights. All they have to do is ignore larger considerations and enforce abusive regulations to the letter.
Or fearful of being slandered as “transphobic” and lose their job.
"Who's afraid of the big bad he/she wolf?" (Phobic indicating 'fear-of.')
I'm not afraid of, nor do I 'hate' examples like this individual.
I merely and sincerely 'loathe' he/she/its acts of gross and grotesque selfishness.
👍🏿
Tell me you've never tried to take legal action against a broke person without telling me you've never tried to take legal action against a broke person.
He/she is not exactly broke. Unless you are referring to their state of being.
It's the same principle: nuisance lawsuit. You're already in court, so you might as well make life difficult for the other side.
Funny just listened to podcast about that very thing. Why sue someone when you know they can't pay. The process is the punishment.
Which is great if you're the government, because the process costs you nothing (the taxpayers eat the cost). When you're a business, the process punishes your own bottom line.
It's almost like lawyers invented a system where they always win and everyone else loses.
Meh. Casinos, morticians, auto body shops...
And yet, sometimes it can be worth fighting back anyway, so as to discourage precisely this sort of thing.
Having done it a number of times, I can tell you that it is like peeing during an ocean swim -- it has no detectable effect on the ocean, and you don't even get to enjoy a warm feeling.
He can pay. He's made quite a fortune with his scam.
Why don’t the businesses just follow the law if they’re not trying to do anything shady
Broke? The guy is loaded!
But maybe he is not broke after so many tax payers also fund funded claims. Even if he were, an attachment of earnings is surely within the panoply of Herman jurisdictional procedures.
“professionally aggrieved intersex transtrocity.” LMAO — one of your best.
I’m raising suit for the oppressive feelings which I experienced while reading the repeated misgendering hate speech, transphobe.
You can simplify the process by simply donating a large amount to my go fund me account, thank you.
How many people in Germany will learn about this case? Will it only be the folks reading the aforementioned publication?
"a professionally aggrieved intersex transtrocity"
that would look great on a business card!
That is indeed a truly awesome description.
yeah - he DEFINITELY has a job: Shakedown artist.
In today's society of convoluted values he/she/it can likely apply for a government grant to hold seminars for training others to support themselves in this new field of human endeavor and progress.
Reminds me of the patent trolls who only job is to create or buy a current patent, and then sue individuals and small companies for using something that infringes on that. Like the patent trolls that had the "podcast" patent who would shakedown podcasters if they were successful at all.

Why would you consider that route?
Yes, government regulations can definitely be exploited.
That was a thing?
OMG.
Where have I been?
Really. Unbelievable that these things make it into the courtroom.
Many of them never see the courtroom, they just settle. That's the whole idea. The business or individual just pays to settle.
Awful. If it's a pattern like that - can't they counter sue?
The people who bring these "actions" are usually willing to settle for less than it would cost the defendant to take them to court or to countersue. They aren't usually asking for millions. It's a kind of extortion racket, because fighting it will cost more than settling.
I did work for one academic medical center that NEVER settled and always would go to court and the consequence was that they had very few of these "nuisance" suits because the malpractice attorneys knew it wouldn't be easy.
professionally aggrieved intersex transtrocity, heinous, energentic, tecnosavy, idiotic creep
or "paithetic" for short (and can't spell)
I'm reasonably certain I'm glad not to be an "Intersex Transtrocity," but I do wish I had an identity with such a nifty handle.
Except "transtrocity" Is an example of the gyp's clunky attempts at portmanteau. His recent efforts with the debased word 'apocalypse" were atrocious!

Sorry about the court costs, but thank you for putting your neck out like that. If more people did, this scam would wither away.

Thank you for explaining the "d".

Nah. Too easy.
If I'm going to make lewd jokes, they should at least require some *effort*! 🤣

You identify a facet of the "the process (or avoiding it) is the punishment" syndrome that characterises the modern regulatory State.
> which Alina felt was exclusive of his 48 year-old self.
They should counter-sue it for the incredibly ageist assumption that 48 year olds aren't "young"
And also for the grammatical argument that the team, being new, could be called "young" despite the ages of its members.
Yes, I would read this as meaning "new" or "developing".
That might have been Alina's feelings, but could it be proved that the hiring company felt that way? Seems to me that their opinion would be the determining one.
Hey, the man has found his grift, and is running it like a pro.

Yes, I *can* indeed say this is not funny.
OK, but hear me out please.
How about, instead of stressing about clown world, and specifically clown Germany here, you pursue happiness, joy and entertainment?
I can guarantee your life will be better!

Ms. Manny, my apologies.
However, I must stipulate that the above was STILL not funny, which is heartbreaking to witness!
I agree. Euros get what they fought and voted for.
Eh, most of us have not voted for any of this.
But our elites are indeed our own responsibility to deal with. If you're a white American, you should want a strong European homeland to always be here for you guys. It's turbo-retarded to see conflict between the same peoples separated by just an ocean.

Karma is a bitch.
Reading that, and now I'm sitting with my morning coffee, feeling almost as angry as a leftard!
Not many people know this but Germany is one of if not the most litigious country on earth. There are entire law firms that all they do is go to tiny mum and dad webshops and find tiny errors with them and then sue them per error. I personally knew someone who set up a webshop and had photos showing the ingredients of the drinks he was selling but it somehow wasn't perfectly visible so one of these law firms sued him for a few hundred per item and he had to file bankruptcy.

The German law system is baffling and drove me nuts when I lived there. Not defending the seriously deranged parts of the US system, but the basic fundamentals of the German penal code make zero sense to me. Monetary theft is treated more harshly than rape. Murderers invariably get released, murder again and get released again. Tax evasion is treated as a much more serious crime than rape or physical battery or robbery. They even have snitch lines where neighbors can rat out anything that even looks like you are cheating the system. Their prisons are luxurious and each prisoner has in many ways more rights than law abiding citizens (for instance, they each a get a window for fresh air and light). It’s highly regulated and focused on the most obscure details, setting up exactly things like your case, where a larger company can abide by the obscure rules and smaller companies need to go bankrupt. And physical injury is harshly capped, so if a doctor performed a surgery and cut off the wrong leg (one had cancer, one didn’t) while under anesthesia, it’s a fixed damages amount (each body part has a cap). So even if the doctor did the same wrong surgery and also FORGOT the anesthesia and tortured you in the process, same fixed amount- too bad. And these amounts are crazy low, like 6,000 Euro or something.
"a professionally aggrieved intersex transtrocity"
Eugy never ceases to amaze.
Mental illness is harmful to everyone, the deranged and the healthy alike.
And our Alina S. is not so different from our Glenn G., is he? Glenn's hatred of America and Israel is the self-abasement he can safely perform in public and Alina's twisting of functional purpose is because he is not functional anywhere, publicly or privately.
These are personal tragedies inflicted as far as reach can go. And the lesson as always is "don't fuck up your kids."
I REJECT your comparison! In fact, this is the most delusional and fucked up take I have EVER read on Substack.
I wouldn't go that far, but (with the greatest respect) I did think the comparison was kind of a stretch. Once again, Israel gets dragged into every argument—it's like the new Hitler.
I still consider SCA my cosmic twin, with whom I very rarely have even the slightest disagreement.
You didn't hear about the video Glenn retweeted yesterday and then claimed he was being blackmailed over?
edit: Glenn is very deeply unwell and that's not about him being gay. His degree of self-loathing is more than I had even surmised before yesterday.
No, I didn't hear about it. I'm trying to cut back on the screen time and do more IRL now that summer is here. Also, I have to finish my house someday :)
DO NOT LOOK FOR THE VIDEO
Glenn always seemed full of himself to me, but what do I know?
Who is Glenn and what does IRL mean? Thanks
Glenn Greenwald, a gay reporter who founded the Intercept, published the Snowden files, started questioning the DNC, and promptly got kicked out of the Intercept, and now works basically independently.
Him being gay is very relevant to the video in question, and that's all that need be said on that.
IRL means "In Real Life"
I don't want to hear about "his degree of self-loathing" from you, because why should I take seriously *what you think he thinks*?
Are you going to next tell me about my own degree of self-loathing? If you wish to tell me about your own personal degree of self-loathing, I might consider you a reputable source on the topic. Otherwise, no.
I had to give Karen Hunt a hard time too, for doing the same bullshit "pejorative as a foregone conclusion" writing. That kind of writing is unacceptable to me.
In principle, one can agree with this – but with the reservation that a society which no longer understands individual injury and fatalism as personal tragedies and refers them to the realm of personal responsibility by means of normative behaviour patterns focused on psychological compatibility with everyday life will no longer do justice to the personalities affected or the environment involved, and will thus lose itself and its community.
The absurd attempt to transfer all affliction and individual failure to collective social responsibility will ultimately destroy us. Because those who are willing to perform are arbitrarily declared ‘perpetrators’ based on their performance and success, and the ‘victims’ are robbed of the pain of personal responsibility and thus of the opportunity for personal growth. For growth, ‘becoming,’ is not possible without error and pain – and without growth and the gain of knowledge, ‘success’ and self-knowledge are unattainable.
Some damage is not fixable. For some people "growth" was turned off at the stage of injury and nothing has been found that could turn it back on again. For all the high-profile transsexuals I've heard of there is a common thread of highly-dysfunctional parenting or, sometimes as with Eddie Izzard, a loss in childhood that the person was never able to move through to a well-functional adult place. (He couldn't get his mother back and eventually just became her as best he could.)
Since the release of Greenwald's video I've been wondering if his father had abused him before leaving when Greenwald was six. Kink is not an aspect of gayness but of sickness.
Of course we're seeing in society right now an indulgence of good old fashioned tantrumming. Back to my first point. Don't fuck up your kids.
Thank you for your detailed response. I completely agree – as parents, our only responsibility is to not stand in the way of our children's potential. As a father and university lecturer, this has always been the only meaningful and satisfying approach for me. Nevertheless, individual deviations cannot be used to transfer responsibility to those who are not directly affected – the circle of personal responsibility remains the same. And if there are injuries within the family, these must be dealt with in this context and cannot be anonymously socialised – because then no one is responsible anymore, but those who are not involved become affected and ultimately victims.
But I understand your point very well, thank you.
Yes I agree completely about personal responsibility. But there's been no era in the entire history of civilization when we had that happy and productive state of being. Unfortunately the rabid fox bites too many other victims before he gets taken out. And--one can pity the creature whose true nature has been corrupted by an infection by no fault of his own. That's why one must harden one's heart to take him out in time.
A fitting analogy. But ultimately, we are only spiritually responsible for our own existence – becoming and passing away with confidence. I was able to experience how my mother – after many hurts and her own misdeeds – discovered her true self in peace and was then able to die calmly, happily and consciously. This had a profound effect on me – in my grief, I was happy for her and know that I am not yet ready.
I'm glad your mother and you in seeing it found peace at the end.
There's a concept in mystical Judaism of the rectification of the soul. It can be helpful for grappling with the feelings one may have about those who've treated us badly in life as we try to deal with their death.
Though all cults are bad overall, nevertheless sometimes there are little nuggets of wisdom and flashes of divine inspiration that manage to survive somewhere within the accumulated nonsense. The challenge of course is to find them.
Sounds like the eternal quest for egalitarian utopia aka communism.
You are really stretching to find your own “d” to glorify “G;” Genocide, not the journalist.
Take it how you like, kid.
Reduxx did a good piece on him in February:
https://reduxx.info/germany-trans-identified-male-on-welfare-sues-over-240-employers-for-discrimination-after-being-continuously-rejected-from-jobs-he-is-not-qualified-for/
there is a clip where you can listen to the dulcet tones of his voice
Imagine him doing this in Russia or China. We try to compete with these countries.
I give Alina an A grade in Creative Grifting. Fascinating how the scum can find the crevices in the system/
So Germany has a Lily Tino too.
Trans fatigue is real.
I am amazed, I thought this ridiculous legal abuse only happened in the US. Now I will await some poor misguided creature to copy this in the US.
I don't remember (off the top of my head) any that have done it as prolifically in the US as this gentleman has, but it has been done before.
And let us not forget the great JY- Jonathan Yaniv, who started this all in Canada by serially suing female waxing salon operators (many immigrants who did not have english as a first language) in Canadian Human Rights court for refusing to wax his junk. The German dude is rocking it, but the grift originated on the North American continent.
I mean... My thought is "Fuck it, wax the asshole. Badly."
"Oh dear, did I accidentally tear your scrotum? I'm so sorry. Maybe you should have gone somewhere that actually knows what to do with one of those, instead of a female focused salon."
But I'm a far more vindictive and vicious bastard than most people.
😂
That is actually the problem. Waxing men's stuff is way different than waxing women's stuff. We have much less externally-with hair- to mess up. Men's waxing even uses different products and techniques because of this. Dude wanted to put these women (often from cultures in which they are not supposed to be around naked men other than husbands and thus only worked with female clients) in a no-win situation. Refuse me and I will sue. Hurt me and I will sue.
Last I knew he changed his name to 'Jessica Simpson'. I haven't kept track, but he used to message pre-teen girls on pop music fan sites...if you aren't familiar, his identity was protected by the Canadian government during those lawsuits. Women's blogs were nuked from space because they dared mention his name to try to warn others. The actual lawyers for the accused were not allowed to find out the pattern of abuse, contact the other women and their lawyers or otherwise mount a defense against his MO.
And people wonder where all the women who were against this shit went and why it is happening..
Jeezaloo you reminded me. Ugggh
We must never forget. We lost so many good voices over his shit. Women who should still be commenting today, uncensored.
I still miss Gallus Mag. I wonder what she's up to.
