Why The Alt-Right Loves This 20th Century Philosopher – Forward

Philosopher Martin Heidegger, widely considered to be the one of the most important philosophers of the 20th century, is also widely considered to have been a truly terrible man.

As a philosopher, Heidegger is known for his contributions to phenomenology, ontology, and existentialism, whose influence extended to thinkers such as Jean Paul Sartre and Hannah Arendt.

When he wasnt writing dense, massive books like Being and Time, however, he was actively participating in Naziism by promoting Hitler and party loyalty as the rector of Freiburg University and (unsuccessfully) exhorting his brother Fritz to join the Nazi party.

Reading Heidegger today, we must ask to what extent his philosophy intersected with his Naziism, and to what extent this damages the worth of his thought. All of this, obviously, complicates his legacy a bit for most people. There are some who find Heidegger just as wonderful as ever, especially because of the horrible revelations about his politics.

I am talking, of course, about so-called the alt-right (read: fascists). As Mike Adamo of Heat Street reports, In between message board debates about anime girls, racial inferiority, and whose country is the most degenerate, the basement-dwellers who loosely compose the alt-right find time almost every day to discuss a notoriously difficult German existentialist philosopher.

Its funny to imagine the intellectually adolescent fascists of the alt-right debating some of philosophys most arduous texts, but their interest is based in a real affinity.

As Adamo writes, Heidegger arrived at a highly studied, very technical basis for what was essentially blood-and-soil nationalism. Part of the way Heidegger achieved this blood-and-soil nationalism was by railing against the pernicious influence of technology and cosmopolitanism on Being. By setting up the globalizing forces of industrialization and its ideological counterpart, that is, globalism, as metaphysically opposed to Being, in particular, German Being, Heidegger helped to negatively define the German/Nazi identity against the world at large.

Consider this excerpt from Heideggers Black Notebooks:

Here we can see that when Heidegger writes about the corrupting influence of cosmopolitanism and technology, he had a specific group of people in mind (the Nazis consistently used cosmopolitan as an anti-Semitic slur). The alt-rights use of the rhetoric of globalism as coded anti-Semitism finds its intellectual counterpart in Heideggers writing.

Heideggers brand of anti-Semitism, unlike that of the alt-right, is couched in the language of metaphysics, giving it a sort of intellectual sheen that belies its inherent, underlying prejudice. (Or, lets be frank, stupidity). For the alt-right, a remarkably intellectually barren movement, the legitimacy conferred by quoting Heidegger - to the extent that Heidegger is able to confer legitimacy in any non-anti-Semitic circles anymore - allows the movement to both cite a well-established source for their anti-Semitism, and to mask that anti-Semitism in esoteric language, allowing them to spread the poison of anti-Semitism in subtle ways not likely to spark an immediate condemnation.

There is also inherent irony to an openly anti-intellectual movement finding it necessary to appeal to this most abstruse of philosophers for intellectual grounding. On the one hand, all fascist movements, with their reliance on populist politics, have largely decried intellectual labor as effete and pernicious abstract, critical thought being directly opposed to the pull of blind nationalism and militancy. On the other hand, fascist movements like the alt-right are so insecure as to their lack of theoretical grounding (particularly when compared to rich intellectual tradition of the Left) that, despite their rhetoric, they consistently feel the need to appeal to intellectuals for legitimacy. As Umberto Eco writes in his seminal essay Ur Fascism, Distrust of the intellectual world has always been a symptom of Ur-FascismThe official Fascist intellectuals were mainly engaged in attacking modern culture and the liberal intelligentsia for having betrayed traditional values.

Of course, not all alt-right fascists are enamored with Heidegger. Adamo quotes one such bright thinker in his article as writing on 4chan, Heidegger was such an autist and even worse, a literal cuck. Well, there you have it: Martin literal cuck Heidegger has his detractors even within the vanguard of American anti-Semitism.

Why the alt-right loves single-payer health care – Vox

When Mike Cernovich, one of the most prominent alt-right internet trolls supporting Donald Trump, was interviewed on 60 Minutes, he used the platform to spread conspiracy theories about Hillary Clinton's health and to allege that she is involved with pedophilic sex trafficking operations. But he also declared his belief in single-payer health care.

"I believe in some form of universal basic income," he told CBSs Scott Pelley, citing concerns about technological unemployment. "Im pro-single-payer health care. Is that right-wing or is that left-wing anymore? Well, if you have a lot of people, a large swath of the company, or country, are suffering, then I think that we owe it to all Americans to do right by them and to help them out."

This might seem like a bizarre position for a far-right conspiracy theorist to take. Single-payer health care, after all, entails nationalizing most or all of the health insurance industry and having the government set prices for doctors services. Conservatives in America have spent the better part of the past century arguing that the idea is socialistic, would lead to long waits for lifesaving treatment, and would give the government power over the life and death of its citizens.

But Cernovich is less a traditional conservative than he is a Trumpist and Trumpism in its purest, alt-right variety cares more about white working-class identity politics than traditional conservatism. More and more, Trump fans are seeing single-payer as part of that.

Alt-rightists and other Trump-loyal conservatives Richard Spencer, VDARE writer and exNational Review staffer John Derbyshire, Newsmax CEO and Trump friend Christopher Ruddy, and onetime Donald Trump Jr. speechwriter and Scholars & Writers for Trump head F.H. Buckley all endorsed various models of single-payer in recent months and years.

Even elites in the alt-right mold who once deplored single-payer are changing their tune. Pat Buchanan, the paleoconservative three-time presidential candidate whose white identity politics and fiercely anti-trade and anti-immigration stances helped inspire the modern alt-right, had free market views on health care in the 1990s and condemned Obamacare as a scheme to kill Grandma in 2009. This week, he told me in an email he has not taken any position on single-payer, and [has] pretty much stayed out of the Obamacare repeal-and-replace debate.

Curtis Yarvin, a Silicon Valley programmer whose writings under the pen name Mencius Moldbug helped launch the neoreactionary branch of the alt-right, told me he welcomes the movements trend toward single-payer, viewing it as a sincere effort to think realistically in the present tense rather than in abstract ideology.

Insofar as the alt-right, and the Trump-supporting right more generally, have a coherent economic agenda, its a vehement rejection of the free market ideology crucial to postWorld War II American conservatism. While Paul Ryan reportedly makes all his interns read Atlas Shrugged, figures like Cernovich, Spencer, and Derbyshire are trying to build an American right where race and identity are more central and laissez-faire economics is ignored or actively avoided.

This has been most obvious on immigration and trade, where libertarians opposition to most or any government restrictions is in tension with the alt-rights economic nationalism. But its also true on health care, where the pure alt-righters are joined by more mainstream pro-Trump voices like Ruddy and Buckley and even some Trump-wary conservatives such as Peggy Noonan.

The Trump-supporting rights case for single-payer is part of a vision of a party where ideological purity on economic issues is much less important, and where welfare state expansion can be accommodated if it serves other goals like building a political base among working-class whites.

The welfare state has always been more popular with the Republican base than with its elected officials. Trump arguably won the presidency in part by being the first Republican in years to promise to protect Social Security and Medicare. My colleague Sarah Kliff has run focus groups with Trump voters where participants bring up their admiration for Canadian-style single-payer unprompted. The alt-right single-payer fad suggests that elites are finally catching up.

Some of the arguments that the Trumpists and alt-rightists offer for single-payer are the standard concerns about the plight of sick and suffering Americans that wouldnt feel out of place in a Bernie Sanders speech like Cernovichs insistence that we owe it to all Americans to do right by them, and to help them out.

Other arguments are offered more in sorrow than in anger. Derbyshire, for example, laments the fact that Americans are unwilling to accept a true free market in health care but argues that single-payer makes more sense than the current hodgepodge of insurance subsidies and regulations and tax breaks.

Citizens of modern states will accept no other kind of health care but the socialized or mostly socialized kind, he said on a 2012 episode of his podcast, Radio Derb. This being the case, however regrettably, the most efficient option is to make the socialization as rational as possible. Single-payer, he concludes, would involve less socialism, and more private choice, than what we now have. (Derbyshire doesnt really explain why socializing insurance is less socialist than not socializing insurance.)

But the main argument offered by Trumpists is about their movement. Donald Trump famously promised in May 2016 to turn the Republican Party into a workers party. The implication was clear: Republican elites before him like Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney prioritized deregulation for businesses and tax cuts for the rich, and offered little or nothing for working-class people, specifically working-class white people. Instead, the party relied on social issues like abortion and immigration to earn their votes.

F.H. Buckley, the George Mason University law professor who led Scholars & Writers for Trump, even approvingly cites the leftist writer Thomas Franks Whats the Matter With Kansas? on this point. Frank asked how it was that the poor folks of his home state voted for a Republican Party that cared so little for their economic interests, Buckley wrote in the New York Post. Become the jobs and the health-care president, and you [Trump] will have answered Franks question.

Steve Bannon has said the Republicans will become a party of economic nationalism, Buckley continued. No one has bothered to define this, but heres one thing it must mean: Were going to treat Americans better than non-Americans. Were going to see that Americans have jobs, medical care and an enviable safety net.

Of course, the Trumpists are big fans of using racialized, not explicitly economic appeals on issues like immigration and crime to win votes. But whereas they see mainstream Republicans like Paul Ryan or Jeb Bush making those appeals as a smokescreen for unpopular economic policies, they want to pair the appeals with an nationalist economic agenda that is actually popular with these voters.

Unlike Paul Ryan and Rich Lowry, who masturbated to Atlas Shrugged in their college dorms and have no loyalty to their race, Donald Trump is a nationalist, Richard Spencer writes. We cant ignore the politics of this. If Trumpcare passes, leftists can credibly claim that Trump has betrayed his populist vision. They will recycle the hoary script about nationalism and scapegoating immigrants as a means of pushing through a draconian agenda. And theyll have a point!

Single-payer, Spencer insists, would "serve our constituency" (read: white people), give the right an answer to the appeal of social democrats like Bernie Sanders, and encourage the growth of the alt-right movement: "So many writers, activists, and content creators on our side shy away from becoming more involved, not just out of fear of social punishment, but out of fear of being fired and losing their health insurance."

Moreover, as soon as health care becomes a public issue, an alt-right government could use that power to promote a more vigorous, healthy white race on a number of dimensions. "When single-payer healthcare is implemented, issues like food safety, nutrition, and obesity become matters of public concern, Spencer writes. It will draw more attention to the alternative we are presenting to Americas current lowest-common-denominator society."

Of course, single-payer would overwhelmingly benefit a lot of nonwhite Americans as well. But programs like Social Security and Medicare do too, and their universal nature and the fact that theyre tied to work have led them to be less racialized and stigmatized than cash welfare or Medicaid. Single-payers universality is appealing because it helps the white working class without making them enroll in means-tested programs traditionally associated with black and Latino beneficiaries.

The ideological vision being offered here is hardly original. The political scientist Sheri Berman has argued that fascism and nationalism succeeded in Europe before World War II largely because unlike traditional conservative parties, fascist parties could provide a real challenge to the social democrats promise of relief from the suffering of the Great Depression.

"Across Europe nationalists began openly referring to themselves as 'national' socialists to make clear their commitment to ending the insecurities, injustices, and instabilities that capitalism brought in its wake, while clearly differentiating themselves from their competitors on the left," she writes in The Primacy of Politics.

And more recently, this strategy been adopted by some far-right parties in Europe. Marine Le Pen, the leader of Frances Front National, has relied heavily on "welfare chauvinism in her presidential bids, a promise to protect and expand social programs for (white) native workers against migrants who might exploit them and drain money that should be going to noble French citizens. Geert Wilders, the far-right leader in the Netherlands, used to be a small-government conservative but began publicly fighting cuts to health programs and calling for expanded pensions once it became clear that this appealed to the lower-income voters who loved his anti-Islam message.

This trend isnt universal; the Freedom Party in Austria, for example, was a traditional laissez-faire party on economics. But its become a popular strategy for several parties, from the Finns Party in Finland to the Danish Peoples Party to the Sweden Democrats, whose leader once tweeted, The election is a choice between mass immigration and welfare. You choose.

And American far-rightists have noticed. James Kirkpatrick, a fellow writer of Derbyshires at VDARE (an anti-immigration site named after the first white person born in the American colonies), has approvingly cited the nationalist, authoritarian Polish Law and Justice Partys strategy of tacking left on welfare to tack right on everything else. The countrys patriotic government, he swoons, outflanked the Left and strengthened its grip on power with universal health care.

The difference between those parties and Trumps would-be workers party is that European countries already have universal health care. And one thing that happened once it was established is that mainstream conservative parties got on board with its preservation. The British Conservatives and the Gaullists in France and the Christian Democrats in Germany dont try to repeal their countries universal health care systems. At most, they push for market-based reforms that retain universality but maybe introduce some more copays or an increased role for private insurers and providers.

When thats the mainstream right-wing alternative, a right-wing party that calls for expanding welfare and health benefits seems more plausible. More to the point, most of the countries enjoying a far-right resurgence employ some system of proportional representation, which allows new parties without much political base to quickly gain ground in the legislature. Tellingly, while Le Pen does well in Frances presidential elections, there are only two Front National members in its National Assembly, which elects by district la the US or UK.

So even if Trump were to be persuaded by his followers and embrace single-payer, hed face a tough task. He cant form a new right-wing party and sweep the legislative elections; he has to change the policies of the existent Republican Party, which has spent decades fighting proposals for universal health care, and get a quorum of members in the House and Senate on his side. Thats much harder, and suggests that the Spencers, Buckleys, and Derbyshires of the world wont get their wish on this anytime soon.

Hangry, sext, alt-right: Dictionary.com adds 300 new words – WCPO

Steel yourselves, language pedants: Dictionary.com has added 300 new words to its online database.

The latest roster additions are a potpourri of portmanteaus, hyphenations and slang terms you feel kind of embarrassed looking up, but do anyway because you are deeply uncool and language is moving into the future without you.

Three hundred words is a lot, so here are the highlights:

420, alt-right,bitchface, cat,caf, cheat day,clicktivist, cold brew, dabbing, dad bod,friendiversary,hangry, K-pop,Kush,lightsaber, man bun,mic drop,petrichor,sext, slay,smackdown, stochastic, terrorism, struggle bus,superfood, teachable moment, uncanny valley

It's rather impressionistic, isn't it? At first, the list reads like a teenager having a hyperactive episode, but when you step back it presents a rather tight portrait of what we're talking about right now, and how we talk about it.

How new words are born

Even though the newfound legitimacy of "bitchface" may amuse you, Dictionary.com lexicographer Jane Solomon tells CNN making the list is serious business. Approving new words is an intense, involved process that comprises different research methods -- all so your sheltered aunt can finally get a solid answer on what "Kush" means.

One way to pinpoint possible new words is through corpus research, which in this case is essentially taking a whole bunch of different texts and sources and combing through them to look for patterns. That's how words and phrases attached to current events, like "burkini" and "Black Lives Matter," bubble to the top.

"We also have lookup data," Solomon says. "We can see what words people have tried to look up on Dictionary.com that haven't led to a definition." Sometimes, people even write in requesting a definition. That's how they decided to add petrichor, "a distinctive scent, usually described as earthy, pleasant, or sweet, produced by rainfall on very dry ground."

"It takes a lot of time and effort and thought, so as a lexicographer we give every word the same amount of respect and attention and care," Solomon says.

No, the language isn't going to pot

Inevitably, whenever a lexicographical authority releases a collection of new words, there are purists ready to grouse about the decline of their precious language. To cop one of the latest entries, Solomon says this is a "teachable moment."

"Many people who have that opinion believe that English stopped changing right before they were born, and that is simply not how the language works. It's continually evolving," she says.

"Is this word or that word too new or too slang? No. There's not just one correct English. Standard English -- the register of English used in school and work, is not the only correct English. As a lexicographer, I do not define how the language is used, the speakers do. And if speakers are using a certain set of words, then that is correct English."

Nivea pulls ‘white is purity’ ad after backlash, alt-right adoption – The Sydney Morning Herald

Nivea pulled this advertisement from its Facebook page on Friday.Photo: Nivea/Facebook

Nivea has pulled an advertisement with the tagline "white is purity" after it was the subject ofa foreseeable backlash, and (because it is 2017) subsequentlybecame a favourite of alt-right social media users.

The skincare brand shared the advertisement, for its "invisible" antiperspirant, to its Facebook page on Friday.

It showed a photographof a woman with dark hair sitting in a white robe, taken from behind.

"Keep it clean, keep it bright. Don't let anything ruin it," the advertisement read, above the tagline: "white is purity".

The brand has since alleged it was only intended to be posted to its "Nivea Middle East" page.

"The recent post regarding Black & White Invisible Deodorant originated from the NIVEA Middle East Facebook page," the brand commented on the Facebook post of a concerned US Facebook user.

"The NIVEA Middle East advertisement was not meant to be racially insensitive. We sincerely apologise. The post has been removed.

"Diversity, tolerance and equal opportunity are fundamental values of NIVEA."

Nivea's Facebook page uses a geoblocker to redirect users to their country's specific brand channel.

The brand has over 19 million Facebook followers globally.

The advertisement was removed the same day, after a number of social media users pointed out the problems with describing whiteness as "pure".

Although it is no longer on the Niveapage, the advertisement was screenshotted and republished by a number of social media users who identify politically as members of the conservative"alt-right".

Inside the Dangerous Convergence of Men’s-Rights Activists and the Extreme Alt-Right – New York Magazine

James Harris Jackson is brought to Manhattan Central Booking on Wednesday, March 22, 2017. He is charged with stabbing a black stranger in Midtown. Photo: Jefferson Siegel/NY Daily News via Getty Images

James Jackson had a plan. Traveling by Bolt Bus from his home in Baltimore to New York City, the 28-year-old Jackson hoped to strike a blow for the beleaguered white race by carrying out a bloody massacre of black men in Times Square, using a two-foot sword hed brought with him for the occasion.

He didnt get that far, turning himself in to NYC police after stalking, stabbing, and killing 66-year-old can collector Timothy Caughman in midtown in a trial run for the planned massacre. In a jailhouse interview, he told the New York Daily News that the murder had been a mistake. He had intended to kill a young thug or a successful older black man out with a blonde, an act he somehow thought would scare white girls away from black men.

Its not hard to see where Jackson picked up at least some of his noxious views. He was, he told the Daily News, a regular reader of the neo-Nazi website the Daily Stormer; on YouTube he subscribes to the channels of a vast assortment of alt-rightists and fellow travelers, from Hitler-worshiping revisionist historians who call themselves things like Esoteric Truth and the Impartial Truth to conspiracy-addled right-wingers like Alex Jones and the resolutely anti-feminist, anti-Muslim YouTube philosopher Stefan Molyneux.

But what is equally disturbing is that Jackson also subscribes to a vast collection of channels promoting the Men Going Their Own Way movement, a more radical and openly hateful version of mens-rights activism, sans even the pretense of activism. MRAs may do precious little actual activism in the real world, but they do have a range of issues that they discuss on a regular basis, some of them legitimate issues they have seized upon largely for propaganda purposes (like male suicide and workplace safety), others generated from their own paranoid fantasies (the supposed epidemic of false rape accusations that leaves every man at risk of being jailed based on nothing more than a womans word).

MGTOWs, as they are known, have largely abandoned these issues to focus almost entirely on the airing of grievances. They claim to proudly reject women, but seem to spend most of their time obsessing over them, spouting endless rants about the alleged evils of women on YouTube and assorted online forums. Jackson subscribes to the channels of popular MGTOWs bar bar, Thinking-Ape, and Sandman, as well as many lesser-known names.

While MGTOWs and alt-rightists regularly spar with one another online, the two movements now appear to be converging, with alt-rightists increasingly spouting anti-feminist, anti-women talking points familiar to anyone who has paid attention to the mens-rights movement; meanwhile, more and more MGTOWs are becoming less shy about expressing their racism, with many openly identifying with the alt-right.

The two movements are drawn together by a shared obsession with, and paranoia about, the sexuality of women.

White supremacists have, of course, long sought to protect their women that is, all white women from the sexuality of black men. In the several heydays of the Klan, southern whites lynched literally thousands of black men based on accusations of rape that were often wholly false, intended to punish those who willingly crossed the sexual color line.

Alt-rightists today remain obsessed with race mixing. The Daily Stormer, in its troll-ish but completely sincere style, rails against miscegenation in posts with titles like Exposing the Race-Mixing Agenda and Tom Hanks Jigaboo Granddaughter Reminds Us Why Race-Mixing Shouldnt Happen. With something close to glee, the site regularly mocks mudsharking white women who end up brutalized by their black boyfriends.

In a post last year, Daily Stormer editor Andrew Anglin declared that racists like him react with a lot of anger to white women who have children with black men because its OUR WOMB thats right, it doesnt belong to her, it belongs to the males in her society that is being used to produce an enemy soldier.

As racists like Anglin see it, when white women become sexually involved with black men they are in effect cuckolding all white men. This insecurity about race cucking is undoubtedly the main reason alt-right men are so fond of calling other men cucks a handy way to project their own anxieties onto others.

Anglin assures his readers that the anger they feel about race mixing is perfectly natural. [W]hen you see women with non-Whites, its a biological response that youre having, he writes. Womens eggs are infinitely more valuable than mens sperm. So there is an inborn drive in men to constantly protect women. And when you see them with non-Whites, you immediately respond negatively.

Tellingly, Anglin feels no such anger about white men in relationships with black women. While gross and wrong, he explains, this weird fetish doesnt trigger the same visceral reaction when you see it, because in terms of the survival of the race, it doesnt make any difference.

It seems fairly clear that the relative values of eggs and sperm have little to do with Anglins reaction. Black men dating white women trigger his sexual insecurities; white men dating black women dont.

MGTOWs are similarly obsessed with women having sex with men other than them. While MRA complaints especially those involving alleged false rape accusations often reek of sexual insecurity and aggrieved sexual entitlement, MGTOWs seem to be motivated by little other than their own sexual anxieties and resentments. In comment sections and YouTube videos they regularly hash and rehash what is perhaps the central MGTOW myth, that of the cock carousel. As MGTOWs see it, women in their prime live in a state of sexual overabundance and endless male affirmation, flitting from alpha male to alpha male in an endless utopia of casual sex riding that so-called carousel.

Meanwhile, the overwhelming majority of men in their teens and early 20s live in a parched sexual desert, scorned by women, who have eyes only for the studly and confident jocks that have become known, at least among the bitter young misogynists of the internet, as Chads, short for Chad Thundercock. Young women consider him far more exciting than the genuine nice guys who remain trapped in an extended period of involuntary celibacy because their shallow female counterparts cant see just how deserving of love and sex they are. MGTOWs see themselves as the innocent victims of a grave sexual injustice, essentially cuckolded by the lucky minority of men who get to enjoy sex with women still in their prime.

All this changes when these young women hit the wall that is, hit the magical age in their late 20s or thereabouts when their youthful allure begins to fade. Deprived of easy sex they had previously enjoyed with an endless succession of Chads, these no-longer-young women, now desperate, do their best to attract the attention of the kind and hardworking beta males theyve been ignoring for years.

On the forums at MGTOW.com, a fellow calling himself Geeves complains of one ex-girlfriend who gave her best years to Chad instead of him.

[S]he was 24-25 when she was with this guy, he grouses. Her prime age of looks and reproductive abilities. He got her in her prime that mother fucker. Then when her clock started ticking and she wanted to settle down and have a family, she meets me. And Im supposed to get a ring, pay for a wedding, honeymoon and be her slave the rest of her life? FUCK THAT!

The fact that the cock carousel myth bears virtually no resemblance to anything that actually happens in the real world does not in any way undercut the fervency of MGTOWs belief in it. Or the anger it helps to nurture within them.

MGTOWs are generally young white men stewing in their own aggrieved entitlement, and Chad is always envisioned as another white guy. But he has a black counterpart a young fellow that the casually racist MGTOWs have labeled Tyrone, basically identical to the young thugs that Jackson, in the real world, planned to kill.

With the alt-right still in the ascendancy, the racism in the MGTOW movement is growing more obvious and more extreme. You can see this clearly in several of the channels Jackson subscribes to on YouTube. The YouTuber who identifies himself as The Angry MGTOW more than lives up to the name, literally shouting out endless half-hour rants. The most popular of these, with hundreds of thousands of views, are diatribes calling out white women for a multitude of sins, including the cardinal sin of dating black men.

YouTuber Xpall Odoc, meanwhile, identifies himself as both a MGTOW and an alt-rightist; he believes white women, too childish to make their own decisions, need to be expressly forbidden from even socializing with black men.

On MGTOW forums like Reddits Men Going Their Own Way subreddit, its similarly obvious that the alt-right is leaking in. In one recent discussion of cuckoldry, a Reddit MGTOW offers some thoughts that would not sound out of place at some drunken Klan after-party.

Even married women who proclaim how pure and innocent they are, will fuck some thug convict or dump whomever she married to chase some jackass, T0000009 complains. Females [dont] give a fuck about culture or society, their family or heritage, they just want some stupid savage to breed them and its the only thing on their tiny mind.
