Penthouse Article: Up In Smoke: Our Obsession With Safety Has Left Us Vulnerable

[Snowman0147]

Politics, forbidden fruit, and being detached from reality.  A lot of the global elite want the global economy even though it fucks over individual countries. 


Being so rich and powerful they have no real understanding of their fellow citizens who are not as wealthy as they are.  They cannot even begin to think of a life of a average family.  Those who came from poor backgrounds will do what they can to stay in the good graces of the wealthy.


Finally in a world where they can get any man, or woman they want it is the children that are forbidden.  Now these are people who take no for a answer and think they are above the standards of society.  They literally think they are above everything and everyone.

So anyway, the article, despite clearly being written by a leftie from the first few paragraphs...is actually very even-keeled.  I'm not familiar with The Penthouse, but this one makes some very good points.

Perhaps this will help some people who manage to see this to realize, "OH HEY WE FUCKED UP"

EDIT: Wow I'm dumb, I got to the bottom of page 1 and didn't realize there were more posts.

Well, it's never too late to try something new

Jokes aside, they have been the "naughtier" competition for Playboy for decades. And it looks like now that Playboy has gone from being liberal to almost full-on SJW, Penthouse is trying to appeal a bit more to conservatives.

In their defense, they have a vested interest in readers who still like women who look like women and have all female parts... just sayin.

Soon enough someone will be protesting this “discrimination” no doubt

Playboy Magazine is an anachronism that doesn't need to exist anymore (not since the invention of the internet, just like all porn magazines), but seriously, is there a better example of the "Hold my Beer" of the "Get Woke Go Broke" theory than PLAYBOY deciding to become an anti-male anti-sex SJW magazine?

How the times have have changed. I saw an online Playboy article praising feminist Gloria Steinem, last year I think. Back in the day she used to call Hefner her no.1 enemy. Now that Hef is gone Playboy has jumped on the woke train. It's bizarre to watch, because they still have photos sexy women, and they seem not to understand that feminists still hate them.

I feel like all news is fake news now. It's impossible for me to determine who is telling the truth, or what is the right moral opinion to hold.

I agree that its extremely hard to judge truth in any news unless you're watching raw, uncut video of an event. Second hand reporting is either biased, bizarrely false or just useless.

But discovering the right moral opinion for you to hold is much easier. That's just a matter of deep thinking or prayer or mediation or whatever puts you in a clear and honest mental space. Most people don't think too much about where they get their opinions or why they hold them.
