Michael Knowles dismisses "Twin Spirit" gender ideology claim? Thoughts?

[Juxtapose]

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Its not that back then they believed there were two spirits. They believed that masculinity and feminity were two sides of a spectrum where no one was completely masculine or completely feminine. Both sides are sacred and everyone falls in the middle somewhere. This idea is probably about as old as alchemy (the studies from which all modern disciplines were born from) itself.

To look back on those cultures and say two should is so profoundly different from what they believed in it almost feels intentional.

[Juxtapose]

Exactly!

@OddBeMe @goaded thoughts?

[Exterminatore]

So what you’re saying is this is a clear cut example of cultural appropriation lmao!

[Telekinetic-Potato]

@Exterminatore haha, yea.

[OddBeMe]

How do you know what women felt in ancient cultures?

[Exterminatore]

@odd

I’ll answer for him. Depending on the culture we can read their available writings.

[OddBeMe]

@Exterminatore and women were free to write?

[Exterminatore]

@odd

Depends on the culture.

[Juxtapose]

@OddBeMe you know there were matriarchies, right?

[Telekinetic-Potato]

@OddBeMe it's less to do with woman writing down their feelings and more to do with ancient alchemists trying to figure out how the world works. Their work created things like philosophy, science, religion and is widely accepted to have it's roots in astrology.

Back then they didn't have tools to measure with, math as we know it today, or the scientific method. But there were extremely intelligent people living even back then.

"As above so below, as within so without, as with the universe so with the soul."

They believed in oneness. You can think of this like hippies talking about everything being vibrations or Albert Einstein doing the same or quantim physicists of today discovering the same.

To oversimplify, your masculinity informs your femininity and vive versa. This idea ties into Ying and Yang.

I like to take the modern liberty of thinking of it like a positive and negative charge.

So you can see why it's incredibly unlikely that these people believed in two separate souls. Alchemy goes all the way back to the 5th century bc and possibly further and to the best of my understanding, didn't die out until around the medieval dark ages.

[OddBeMe]

My god there must be thousands of ancient writings available written by women.

Wait where’d they go?

[Telekinetic-Potato]

@OddBeMe they're not publicized because they're rare. Way back then, they didn't have schools like we have now. Also society was very different thousands of years ago dude lol.

Like for example, learning to write was an expensive task. And you would have to be in situations that nobody wanted to subject a woman to. But there have been woman oracles and rulers like cleopatra. Or the prophet Muhammad's wife Khadija who is written about in an incredibly badass way in terms of making woman look good.

But woman writing about philosophy has nothing to do with the idiology of a sacred feminine and masculine energy. Also this idea has been adulterated through time seemingly as a way for governments to control the masses. There is a lot of circumstantial evidence to back that up.

[OddBeMe]

Oh!! So we DONT know what women thought in ancient times. Like I said three fcking days ago.

Being the smartest on a post is tough…where’s my bourbon?

[Telekinetic-Potato]

@OddBeMe lmao I bet you would know. what does that have to do with what we were talking about?

Just because you said something three days ago doesn't make it relevant to the conversation.

Have fun with your fireball and sprite

[OddBeMe]

Because your stupid belief in masculine and feminine only works culturally. Not biologically.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

@OddBeMe really? Funny, it wasn't a conversation about biology. It was about spirituality and religion. Do you know anything about the emerald tablet or religion history or the thoughts on this topic of career historians or anything at all about what we're talking about?

[Exterminatore]

@odd

There are thousands you just need to know where to look. I don’t agree with many of your opinions, but I don’t think your stupid either. This is something you can investigate yourself. I will point you in the right direction however. Since you’re liberally minded, start with her:

[OddBeMe]

@Telekinetic-Potato Ie…culturally

[OddBeMe]

@Exterminatore yes we all know the jokes about the island of Lesbos. But in a wide angle, culturally significant, even handed approach…we have no fcking clue what most women thought before maybe the 1800s.

[Juxtapose]

Women have been active throughout all of history so I don't really know what you're talking about man.

[Juxtapose]

And this is a big ass digression from the main topic.

Transsexualism has not existed throughout history in its current form and the two spirit thing is a form of politically motivated appropriation.

[Exterminatore]

@jux

Spot on.

[Exterminatore]

I think there are only two genders. I dismiss all other claims. I trust the science on this.


I find it hilarious these same people so readily accepted an untested vaccine which pharmaceutical companies ensured they could not be held financially responsible for any resulting health problems, but they don’t trust long established science regarding chromosomes and gender.

[Stoner710]

OK as somebody who watches Michael Knowles every day, same with everyone at the DailyWire i star with Ben. the one thing I disagree with them with is religion. Frankly, transgenderism should be eradicated from public life you would turn a female dog into a male dog because it’s impossible. Nobody’s arguing for turning a female dog into a male dog. This is true for every single mammalian species as an agnostic regardless, if you believe that man was created in the image of God, or there are male and female, and this is basic, mammalian biology, transgender ism does not exist. You cannot be transgender wide, because you are a mammal. You are not a sponge sponge can be asexual and go from male to female certain types of frog species can turn hermaphroditic and there’s too many of one sacks in the area. We are not fish, and we are not frogs. We are mammals. The idea of transgenderism It is also a religion based off of the idea of gnostic dualism it is the idea that your soul was born into the wrong body. You really have the soul of a woman and a soul was born into a man’s body. This is a religion. It’s an old ancient religion that has mainly been destroyed by the crops up from time to time because people explore weird religions, and go down weird pass that don’t actually exist.

[Lliam]

I agree with Michael Knowles and the speaker.

Men can act like women and women can act like men. But men are NOT women and women are NOT men. Period. No amount of modern drugs or surgery can change that.

And it's true that "trans"-women are destroying women's rights. I don't understand why more women, especially feminists, aren't talking about this.

[RealMarek]

The so-called trans-exclusionary radical feminists are talking about it, but this gets them cancelled or, in the case of the UK, potentially into court.

[Lliam]

@RealMarek. Yes. There are powerful forces behind this. Somebody is paying media and lawyers.

I don't think a few militant LGBTQI+ activists have that much power or influence. I don't even think there are that many of them.
I suspect that actors are bussed in for some of the rallies and paid.
It's suspicious.

[RealMarek]

The elites run a network of NGOs funded by the likes of Soros, Gates, and many others, and coordinated by Tony Blair. Some of these NGOs donate to each other. Their websites all look the same. We know who run some of them like the National Endowment of Democracy. Others are staffed by people whose existence cannot be identified. This is set up to provide the appearance of grassroots action but is just a shell game to move elite money around to wield political power tax free. Anyway, that’s where the professionally pre-produced signs, the camera men and journalists positioned at the right place at the right time, and the obviously paid protestors come from.

As for the usefulness to the regime, the trans issue is an example of “point deer, make horse.” When Zhao Gao brought a deer to the Chinese emperor and presented it as a gift horse, some courtiers complimented him on the quality of the horse. Others protested that it was really a deer. The latter were immediately beheaded. This helps make the friend-enemy distinction. If you believe your lying eyes and call a trans woman a biological man, the regime can easily identify you as an enemy.

Also, the gender-affirming care is essentially castration, so it is a way for our elite, many of whom are not of Anglo-American origin, to inflict a castration ritual on a conquered people. This dynamic is as old as civilization itself, but this is the first time in history that castration was enthusiastically embraced by a significant portion of the subjugated populace. Why? I think it has its roots in the Manichaean influence on Western culture, which allows for a sort of dualistic view of human nature in which the body is conceived as a skin-suit for the soul as opposed to being inextricably linked to the soul. I think this also explains the drive toward transhumanism among the Western elites.

[Lliam]

@RealMarek. I agree 100%.

[jshm2]

He didn't really dismiss anything. Just deflected the argument and made a bunch of fallacious statements to boot.

There seems to be this pig headed notion with dipshits that simply saying "the left" or "woke" automatically means they've automatically won. The debate is to be had with individuals in the trans cult. Not with a political spectrum.

[Juxtapose]

What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

[Tyrael]

I agree with Michael Knowles. This stuff is just so pointless and idiotic that it needs to stop.

[LovrUFFAllls]

I prefer to have high spirits, when drinking my spirits.

[TheSpaceGnome]

I agree, also spirits aren't real.
