Look at how many “pit mommies” are viciously mauled by their own dogs. So many have a complete lack of awareness of true danger and seem to go out of their way to interact with dangerous elements. Then, they cannot comprehend or at least internalize the per capita stats that prove how disastrous their supported policies actually are because they know one person who deviates from those stats so we can throw out the law of averages. Every chaotic and violent environment in civilian life that I have encountered has been lead by a woman or heavily influenced by the most vocal of these types who shield the instigators and violent people.
My take on the "pit mommies" phenomenon is that these women own them precisely because they're dangerous. They think they'll be the ones who tame them, thereby proving their moral superiority to others. "See? You're just a bad dog owner." There a certain kind of person, quite prevalent among women, who are obsessed with exhibiting moral superiority.
Yes, I agree with you. The male version might be the man who pursues obviously unstable bipolar disorder women despite the risks. They hope to make it work and prove what a great man/white knight they are who “saved” this woman. But in general, men don’t vote on average to replace their native populations or be so soft on crime that we live in hellholes.
The capacity for magical thinking and self-delusion has reached a level lately that hasn’t been experienced in the modern industrial world, perhaps in the history of the world itself. It was not that people in the past chose to ignore reality in favor of their own imaginations and biases - it was simply that they did not have enough knowledge of the world to understand how certain things worked. Bad air causes disease? It was a workable hypothesis that couldn’t be dispelled until germ theory came along. Same for lightning, motion of the sun, pick something. People have almost always moved in the direction of accepting better explanations and observations about the world, even if grudgingly at first.
Now? Let’s take man vs. bear. Roughly 25 percent of domestic violence is started by men, 25 by women, and the other 50 percent is both parties at the same time or unknown. It’s an easy thing to look up, but doesn’t fit with their vision of the world.
It’s not so much even the nature of the discussion, but that the framework for rational discussion no longer exists. The trans movement is another good example, the bizarre reactions over the Gaza war, etc. It’s a full spectrum thing, spilling over to the right in things like QAnon. It used to be that people would agree on facts, but disagree on the conclusions. Now, people have their own facts that don’t line up with observed reality.
All this is why we are headed for the rocks, so to speak. You cannot course correct when people don’t even know what course they are on.
The difference between the Left and Right is the level of reality-denial they engage in. Both sides can do it, but the Left needs to live by lies, to quote Solzhenitsyn. They need the state to impose those lies as truth. Otherwise, their ideas simply don't survive first contact with reality.
What we see now is the result of state-sanctioned living by lies. The number of stupid ideas that are now being passed as fact is just astounding. Think about the amount of time people waste arguing over incredibly stupid things.
I doubt that any Canadians were among the crowd downplaying bear attacks. It’s always nerve wracking to discover bear droppings near your family cottage or on a path in a national park (as has happened to us). You can buy bear spray, but the best advice is to make noise and follow proper food storage and disposal procedures.
There is a very good bear attack movie called Backcountry on Netflix, incidentally. It’s based on a true story. Strong recommend.

I agree, but how many Americans or even Westerners are confused.
