And don't forget that these idiots always ask for peer reviewed research evidence, 90% of which is horseshit nowadays. It's not a genuine inquiry when they do this, it's liberal code for "go the fuck away".

Anecdote, direct experience and other evidence are far more valid. Qualitative data are generally superior.
It’s the appeal to authority fallacy at play, perhaps with the authority being an abstraction of the scientific process or unnamed practitioners thereof.
Quantitative data without honest qualitative analyses is useless. You could make the claim that ice cream eaters causes heatst roke without ever mentioning that your data shows there are more ice cream eaters during summer time.
Perhaps, I actually think a lot of them truly don't believe anything unless it's in a study which is sad because studies are easily manipulated and have such a narrow focus. They actually tell us way less about anything than people imagine. Our intuition, experience and observation is often more accurate than most "science". This isn't always the case but often is. Typically, when science is counter to what we think without the science it's because the science is actually propaganda and not truth.
To be fair, a lot of criticisms they have about "right leaning studies" are often accurate. What they fail to realize is the same criticisms are in fact applicable to their "left-leaning" studies.
When I did argue with leftists, I would only use right-leaning study if I also had a left-leaning study that corroborated it or I could speak to all the faults with the study such that they'd be forced to accept the remaining truth.
The issue I have with studies is that much of the funding and research is specifically toward reproducing leftist ideology and promoting itself. When you have a counter point there often isn't a study because the funding isn't there or it's something that is so logically obvious no one on the right bothers to write a study on it. The left writes studies on everything because it's how they promote their own ideology. You could have 1000 studies studying basically the same thing with a slight change that is meaningless then they conclude it must be factual because 1000 studies say the same thing but the underlying flaw of the study is applicable to all 1000 such that 1 study vs. 1000 is irrelevant.
Yeah, if you call living better than 99.99% of humans that have ever walked the Earth suffering.
REEEEEEEEE Can I see your empirical article that you derived this from? because I'm gonna call bullshit
Here's my evidence:
Instead of digging in the dirt to gather and grow food right now, you're on Facebook using some electronic device that your great grandparents never dreamed would exist, talking to someone who you've never met-and probably never-will with near instant communication. You likely own multiple such electronic devices, a vehicle, and have a roof over your head, more food than you can eat today in your comfortably warm home, where you can have more ready-to-eat food delivered in hours, if not minutes, and you'll have more free time to blow today than your ancestors ever imagined would be possible, and you don't have to worry about starving to death or dying from a small cut or head cold.
You are so privileged to live in 2021 (probably in America?). Go use your indoor plumping and electricity and stop acting like capitalism is the enemy when it gave you a life that's more comfortable than kings enjoyed 200 years ago.
Funnily enough, the Netflix show Dracula says that last point exactly. Dracula wakes up in modern day England and breaks into a home. The next morning the owner finds him on the couch watching TV and he tells her she lives in the lap of luxury to which she says "this place? It's a dump" and he tells her emperor's of the past would throw away their fortunes to live like her. It's always amazing to me how un-self-aware some of these leftists can be..... Cause you know there ain't any conservatives working on these scripts
As with many other commodities, Britain had kept India’s salt trade under its thumb since the 19th century, forbidding natives from manufacturing or selling the mineral and forcing them to buy it at high cost from British merchants. Since salt was a nutritional necessity in India’s steamy climate, Gandhi saw the salt laws as an inexcusable evil.
Nailed it! All these people bitching about white European heritage can eat a big sack of black Commie dicks. I freaking DARE any grouser in this country to make a list of EVERY SINGLE THING HE OR SHE DOES AND USES throughout the course of even just ONE day, and odds are OVERWHELMING that the person ONLY enjoys access to almost all such things because of white European heritage.
Sleep on a comfy mattress? In a heated or air conditioned building? With indoor plumbing to shower and toilet? Electricity? Refrigerator? Gas or electric stove? Indoor lighting? Microwave? TVs? Cable or satellite? Cellys? Washer and dryer? Computers? ANYTHING which is mass produced on assembly lines and shipped, including clothing, shoes, furnishings? Go to movies? Ride mass transit or personal vehicles? Drink clean water? Purchase coffee where it doesn't grow in winter? Use cosmetics? Shop in grocery stores with refrigeration and delivered goods? Wear corrective lenses, glasses or contacts? Go to an optometrist who uses equipment researched, designed, and manufactured to diagnose eyes and grind lenses? Fly in a plane? Go on a cruise? Eat in a restaurant? Drive on paved roads? Purchase toilet paper or use a bidet? That's right----ALL OF THOSE THINGS are the results of Western Civilization's science, technology, and medicine. Mind you, Western Civilization is white in heritage, but every race and color can succeed when raised in it, which is why we can have amazing African, Asian, Hispanic, etc. inventors and entrepreneurs.
BUT IT IS WHITE CULTURAL HERITAGE WHICH HAS GIVEN ALL THE WORLD THE ABILITY TO.PROSPER. Got that? Cultural heritage, not color. The Commie Left is trying to use color as the basis of destroying Western cultural heritage, because color is an easy divisible phenomenon. China, India, Africa, Japan, South Korea Saudi Arabia---EVERYWHERE---has benefitted from white Western Civilization, in terms of being introduced to the concepts of industry and technology and medicine. (That governments abuse such things is a different matter entirely.) Anyone saying differently is a liar. And it isn't because white people are any better than any other race, it is because they have been blessed above other races, in that Caucasians are descended through Abraham (whose descendants crossed the Caucaus Mountains), therefore it is due to the righteousness imputed to ONE MAN (the only person in all of Scripture outright called God's friend), and not of our own accord, for God said in Abraham's descendants all the world would be blessed, not merely a nod to the Messiah, as Jesus Christ was descended from him, the name by whom all may be saved.
The point which I am trying to make is that it is CULTURAL VALUES AND HERITAGE WHICH MATTER, NOT RACE OR COLOR. You can be any race or color and be an amazing American, scientist, innovator, etc, but you will be great, and your life so much better, because of white European heritage. Anyone saying differently is a liar, and I DARE YOU to make a list of your day which disproves that fact. So all you Pedes of different ethnicities from non-Caucasian heritages, welcome! Make yourselves at home, because you are. And the rest of you POS trying to shame white people in spite of all the amazing things you have come to enjoy and rely upon, GET WRECKED!
Calling somebody a "racist" is their default insult for anybody that disagrees with them.
But even if somebody is a RaCisT... ok... and? How does that affect your life in the least? You don't like conservatives ergo you are a conservativist and worthy of derision and ridicule.
Notice the appeal to authority when they demand an ‘empirical article’ (ostensibly made by “experts”) supporting the logical conclusion from freely available information.
"Capitalism is the problem". Heard from the son of friends - who went to an Ivy League school (of course), got a job with a big tech company, and is discussing what wine fridge to get for his special-order bottles.
Running the air through a dryer, which any good compressor should have anyway to protect the tank and air tools, would solve that.
The selling point is that the nitrogen molecule is larger than the other atmospheric gasses, so it seeps through the tire slower and is less affected by temperature changes. Basically, a great idea for airplanes, but just a money grab for passenger cars.
AIO just did a show about a couple youtube socialists arguing with eachother because one of them was getting rich by telling people money is evil lol. In the argument they referenced another youtube socialist that was encouraging and participating in a "rent strike" because they think the landlords are evil for not just giving away their property to let junkies live in for free despite this chick most likely having way more money than her landlord... Western socialists are probably the dumbest people in the planet. I actually can understand the point of view of third world impoverished people falling for socialism because it seems like "what do I have to lose?", but the rich american/european kids that somehow support communism make zero sense to me.
Gavin Mcinnes always talks about how they all think they will be the ones designing the uniforms or advisingf the king if communism takes over and do not realize that if communism did take over the revolutionaries would be the first ones killed, and if they are lucky enough to survive the purge, they are going to be peasants just like the rest of us. It is not going to be free college as you know it, but free college that is actually just a state reeducation camp to treat you to love the king (or emporer or prime minister, or whatever they call their king).
What’s funny about these rent strike people is they only benefit the rich investors who will buy up the small landlord buildings and put market rate condos. It happens every time. Useful idiots.
yep. People in red states really don't have any issue with housing. In my city (louisville) you can buy a house for $50k, and there are $500/mo or less apartments all over. I used to live in California and it was not like that at all... Houses were like $500k and apartments started at like $900 for a 1br
It's an easy test. Look around you, if you didn't make it with your own two hands... You only have it because of Capitalism.
I try to make as much as I can myself and still 90% of my life is thanks to someone else.
Here's an unpopular opinion: Allowing corporations to grow unchecked will eventually lead to problems. Capitalism is great compared to alternatives, but true free markets where multinational mega corporations have completely unchecked insane power and influence is a problem when the people running those corporations decide to - let's say - oppress people because of race with bullshit diversity agendas and say things like "be less white."
We have to recognize that the agenda for decades was for the elites to amass all the power and wealth by using a phony two party system in the USA consisting of the party of big govt. (Dems) and the party of big business (RINOs). Now we can clearly see they are united playing for the same team against team MAGA who is the party of the people.
I love all the benefits of capitalism but let's not pretend it's beyond criticism. Big business is just as dangerous as big govt in the wrong hands. We have all played monopoly so we know how this ends.
What makes big business worse than a big corporation? If I don't like what a big corporation does, I can just boycott their products. If I don't like what a big government is doing, I still have to buy what they are selling or I go to jail...
If I tell a corporation to fuck off, I maybe get banned from their platform/service. If I tell the government to fuck off, sociopaths with guns will show up at my house to put me in a cage. I will take my chances with big business...
If I don't like what a big corporation does, I can just boycott their products
Yes. You could reject the large corporations offering internet access where you live. But you then lose access to the internet, because 22 states have banned municipal broadband, so you have no other options.
idk, but I will be fine without internet... I didn't have the internet until I was in my 20s... I was happier without it tbh. I don't own a TV or have cable either. I am banned off social media, so they kind of forced the boycott on me. I will survive.
Unfortunately the globalists want to undo this. They want a starving slave class for some reason. I guess having billions of dollars and being able to afford literally anything you could possibly ever want gets boring after awhile.
Can we find the signs from the Ukraine when Lenin took over? The ones that said something like "don't eat your children", because the Russians were taking the Ukraine crops to hold vast feasts in Moscow for their leaders and foreign visitors,
In old art work you always see angels and spirits just laying around on clouds playing the harp and doing nothing much at all. That wasn't some kind of trope, that is exactly what people used to believe heaven was like.
Human existence used to be so difficult that their vision of paradise was to lay around and do absolutely nothing for eternity.
Well kek'd. I love how the mid-wit NPC pretends to be a serious intellectual and plays the "muh statistics" reverse card, as if simple observation weren't entirely sufficient. Then she's immediately reduced from "your claim doesn't meet my rigorous intellectual standards" to "your claim is completely outside my ideological purview, no matter how much evidence has been presented to me."
pretty much. I wish there was a fundraiser I could donate that would pay to send these naïve college communists on a field trip to a real communist country so they can live there for a month and experience what it is really like. That might be the biggest red pill ever. 2 weeks into eating cats cooked in sewer grease, I am sure they will be begging to come back to capitalism and eating a cheeseburger for 1/10th of the minimum hourly wage... Think about that.. we live in a country where the lowest paid person can afford to buy 10 cheeseburgers in an hour of work... And they think they live in poverty.
exactly. My grandfather owned a business and was doing VERY well for himself at the time, but as a guy barely over the poverty line in 2021, I have a much higher standard of living than he did as a wealthy man in the 60s.
Anyone that makes more than 30,000 per year is in the 1% of the entire world. Mind blowing. The 1% of the 1% are what are distracting our gazes upward making some of us (COUGH THE ENTIRE LEFT) think we have it bad for some reason.
My wife and I make >100k together and we KNOW we're what is left of the 'middle class' whatever that is.. because there isn't much space in between us and 'rich' types.. and 'poor types' below.
Anything <50k/yr and you're basically living in poverty. Anything >100k and you're basically comfortable.
Most 'rich types' are really upper middle class. If you liquidated your assets and have 1-10m you're still 'middle class'. 10m can disappear really quick. As McCain said, you're not rich unless you have at least 300m in the bank.
Fair. it takes mega-millions to reach a level of wealth so vast it makes money just by existing. I think I'd be content living off dividends/capital gains from a few million. I'm a man of simple tastes.
It a good reminder that corporations while using their power excessively, are also the engineering and manufacturing aggregation of genius so that life is easier and safer than 10, 50 and 140 years ago. 90% of Americans live near a Stop-and-Rob (convenience store) that the Pharoahs of Egypt could never have imagined held such luxury such as cold water and beverages, AC and fresh, clean snacks of many kinds from a poly-bag.
i dunno what that guy meant by his statement without him being more specific, but immigration overall is a problem. It's not just illegal immigration, we also legally allow in so many people that we add a third of the population every 30 years, which is an INSANE amount.
Econ 101 says that this reduces wages, which is what the vast majority of people live on.
I know, coming from an immigrant family and living in high-immigrant NJ that often immigrants are the saving grace from our degraded culture and school system*. But the overall facts are clear, legal immigration needs to be restrained almost as much as illegal immigration
*I even once had a Haitian tell me that he grew up both in Haiti and America, and would move with the school year. I assumed he meant he went to school in America, but he meant the opposite. He said that unless you have a lot of money in America, the schools in Haiti are better, because they're on the French system. He said when he started going to college in America he was baffled at how far behind the students here were.
My wife is from the Philippines. She grew up without electricity or running water. She had an outhouse that she had to check for snakes before taking a shit... dirt poor. She worked hard went to school (that she had to cross a river by foot to get to) and did her best. She fought MMA and got a scholarship to college. In college she worked her ass off and saved money and got an internship. She paid her life savings of $10k USD to get here (that is a fortune in PH) and worked hard during her internship instead of treating it like an American Vacation like the other kids in her group. She ended up getting a full time job and works hard at it and trades crypto/sells jewelry as a side hustle. She is one of the most inspirational people I know.
She came here with Strong family values and integrity. She has a 10 year plan and is the structure I need in my life instead of blowing my cash on motorcycles and weed lol. She is MAGA af, and NOBODY complains more about lazy, spoiled American kids than her. If we had more immigrants like my wife, people would be begging for more immigration. Also, she NEVER uses her "POC" status as a crutch or anything like that and says that these Americans who think they are oppressed have some of the most privileged lives on earth and have no idea what oppression or poverty really looks like. She had to catch her dinner as a kid...
I do not think we need to slow down immigration, I think we need to improve the quality of immigrants. We need to stop being the worlds homeless shelter and instead have a more merit based immigration system where we take only the best from all over the world to help us MAGA.
I think some people in this page forget that we ARE a nation of immigrants and VERY few people can trace their ancestors back to the colonies. tbh, most white Americans are likely refugees from Europe after WW1 and WW2 wiped out Europe. During WW1 I think like half of our military was immigrants.
And don't forget that these idiots always ask for peer reviewed research evidence, 90% of which is horseshit nowadays. It's not a genuine inquiry when they do this, it's liberal code for "go the fuck away".

Anecdote, direct experience and other evidence are far more valid. Qualitative data are generally superior.
It’s really less “code” and more like a debate trap.
Don’t reply and they’ve won on the basis that you look stupid inside the context of their bubble.
Reply even with the most airtight of sources and they will just challenge the voracity of it.
Even if they look stupid they can just appeal to one of their cheerleader friends to support their utter stupidity and contempt for truth.
The way to handle this, especially on Reddit is to ask for their sources first and don’t let up.
If they reply just continue to press on sourcing.
I’m sure there are people here who are lazy and don’t like to provide sourcing themselves and that’s fine.
But you know what’s more lazy than a unmotivated conservative? 95% of the left who have grown up coddled.
These people can’t be bothered to source basic website links let alone understand news sourcing and accurate science.
And yes. The replication crisis is real. Never debate modern science as it is a losing proposition.
I went with “how much ego do you have to demand a stranger to do work for you? Fuck off”
Or: "If you'd be interested the slightest in the truth, you'd research this yourself. I did and it changed my mind."
Veracity talks to the truth of something.
Voracity is the greediness of something. Think voracious.
Thanks. Maybe you can fill us in on the definition of pedantic.
To be fair most of the dogpile is reportable stuff or things that don’t need a response.
But yes, the lockout timer definitely makes the echo chamber far far worse.
Stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason for example.
It’s the appeal to authority fallacy at play, perhaps with the authority being an abstraction of the scientific process or unnamed practitioners thereof.

“Article” meaning they only trust the media. And then it’s only CERTAIN media sources.
“Oh I don’t believe anything from BRIETBART!!”
especially because when you disagree with them online, they have an army of simps behind them to bully/brigade you for disagreeing with a girl.

"Capitalism is the problem". Heard from the son of friends - who went to an Ivy League school (of course), got a job with a big tech company, and is discussing what wine fridge to get for his special-order bottles.
Um... Leftist Retard much?
Your head get smart but your brain get dumb
I had an Ivy League student complain to me that it cost $20 to put air in one of her tires. The mechanic had claimed she needed to use nitrogen.
I asked her what the earth's atmosphere was composed of.
It took her a bit, but she soon figured out that they just took her for $20.
to be fair, filling with nitrogen specifically is a thing, IIRC - I think the lack of water is the advantage?
But yes, she's probably a moron that doesn't even know how to just go to a gas station and use the compressor herself.
Running the air through a dryer, which any good compressor should have anyway to protect the tank and air tools, would solve that.
The selling point is that the nitrogen molecule is larger than the other atmospheric gasses, so it seeps through the tire slower and is less affected by temperature changes. Basically, a great idea for airplanes, but just a money grab for passenger cars.
Nitrogen molecules are larger and less sensitive to pressure changes induced by cold weather. It’s great for tires when there are temp fluctuations.
It keeps the damn low tire pressure light from glowing,

idk, someone with a FB account should find him and let him know he is getting some love here hahaha
Can we find the signs from the Ukraine when Lenin took over? The ones that said something like "don't eat your children", because the Russians were taking the Ukraine crops to hold vast feasts in Moscow for their leaders and foreign visitors,
In old art work you always see angels and spirits just laying around on clouds playing the harp and doing nothing much at all. That wasn't some kind of trope, that is exactly what people used to believe heaven was like.
Human existence used to be so difficult that their vision of paradise was to lay around and do absolutely nothing for eternity.

For much is given, much is expected. We're given privileges and powers that we don't know how to use responsibly.
Dumbass idiot chick probably has never read a research article in her life.
they probably reported him for "hatespeech" (wrongthink) after that.
How is this even in dispute?
Please stop blocking out names. This isnt reddit or some other gay site
This wasn't me, I saw this posted somewhere else. I think GAB or Parler.
To be fair, if the powers that be were to crack down on us, it would be over some (excuse the expression) trumped-up doxxing accusations
That's not doxxing. It was posted to a public website for the world to see under their username.
Doxxing would be if you posted their address which was never posted publicly.
True. But...
Since when do our enemies care if we actually did the thing we're accused of?
Serf
good response 💯
it wasn't me, I just found the image. It was a perfect response though.
God Bless Josh!
Well kek'd. I love how the mid-wit NPC pretends to be a serious intellectual and plays the "muh statistics" reverse card, as if simple observation weren't entirely sufficient. Then she's immediately reduced from "your claim doesn't meet my rigorous intellectual standards" to "your claim is completely outside my ideological purview, no matter how much evidence has been presented to me."
Hello, police? I'd like to report a murder.
LOL!
I bet the soylent commie's response to that was "yeah, well, you're a racist, REEEEEE!!!"
Needs an article to tell him that.. fuck me what a stupid bunch
When all you can do is ask for "Muh Evidence" because you've got no legitimate reply :)
Noble effort
200 years ago? shit, we live better than our parents did.
Person A "70 degrees, calm, sunny...it's a beautiful day"
Person cuntface "Where's the peer researched study confirming this data...? Racist!"
That's literally how dumb that shet is.
pretty much. I wish there was a fundraiser I could donate that would pay to send these naïve college communists on a field trip to a real communist country so they can live there for a month and experience what it is really like. That might be the biggest red pill ever. 2 weeks into eating cats cooked in sewer grease, I am sure they will be begging to come back to capitalism and eating a cheeseburger for 1/10th of the minimum hourly wage... Think about that.. we live in a country where the lowest paid person can afford to buy 10 cheeseburgers in an hour of work... And they think they live in poverty.
I say this often. We live like kings. and you only have to go back 50 - 100 years when that just couldn't be said by many.
exactly. My grandfather owned a business and was doing VERY well for himself at the time, but as a guy barely over the poverty line in 2021, I have a much higher standard of living than he did as a wealthy man in the 60s.
Anyone that makes more than 30,000 per year is in the 1% of the entire world. Mind blowing. The 1% of the 1% are what are distracting our gazes upward making some of us (COUGH THE ENTIRE LEFT) think we have it bad for some reason.
My wife and I make >100k together and we KNOW we're what is left of the 'middle class' whatever that is.. because there isn't much space in between us and 'rich' types.. and 'poor types' below.
Anything <50k/yr and you're basically living in poverty. Anything >100k and you're basically comfortable.
Most 'rich types' are really upper middle class. If you liquidated your assets and have 1-10m you're still 'middle class'. 10m can disappear really quick. As McCain said, you're not rich unless you have at least 300m in the bank.
Fair. it takes mega-millions to reach a level of wealth so vast it makes money just by existing. I think I'd be content living off dividends/capital gains from a few million. I'm a man of simple tastes.
Mic drop
BLAM......
It a good reminder that corporations while using their power excessively, are also the engineering and manufacturing aggregation of genius so that life is easier and safer than 10, 50 and 140 years ago. 90% of Americans live near a Stop-and-Rob (convenience store) that the Pharoahs of Egypt could never have imagined held such luxury such as cold water and beverages, AC and fresh, clean snacks of many kinds from a poly-bag.
Fuck off. My wife is an immigrant and works harder than I do and is more MAGA than anyone I know. Wtf is your problem with immigrants?
i dunno what that guy meant by his statement without him being more specific, but immigration overall is a problem. It's not just illegal immigration, we also legally allow in so many people that we add a third of the population every 30 years, which is an INSANE amount.
Econ 101 says that this reduces wages, which is what the vast majority of people live on.
I know, coming from an immigrant family and living in high-immigrant NJ that often immigrants are the saving grace from our degraded culture and school system*. But the overall facts are clear, legal immigration needs to be restrained almost as much as illegal immigration
*I even once had a Haitian tell me that he grew up both in Haiti and America, and would move with the school year. I assumed he meant he went to school in America, but he meant the opposite. He said that unless you have a lot of money in America, the schools in Haiti are better, because they're on the French system. He said when he started going to college in America he was baffled at how far behind the students here were.
My wife is from the Philippines. She grew up without electricity or running water. She had an outhouse that she had to check for snakes before taking a shit... dirt poor. She worked hard went to school (that she had to cross a river by foot to get to) and did her best. She fought MMA and got a scholarship to college. In college she worked her ass off and saved money and got an internship. She paid her life savings of $10k USD to get here (that is a fortune in PH) and worked hard during her internship instead of treating it like an American Vacation like the other kids in her group. She ended up getting a full time job and works hard at it and trades crypto/sells jewelry as a side hustle. She is one of the most inspirational people I know.
She came here with Strong family values and integrity. She has a 10 year plan and is the structure I need in my life instead of blowing my cash on motorcycles and weed lol. She is MAGA af, and NOBODY complains more about lazy, spoiled American kids than her. If we had more immigrants like my wife, people would be begging for more immigration. Also, she NEVER uses her "POC" status as a crutch or anything like that and says that these Americans who think they are oppressed have some of the most privileged lives on earth and have no idea what oppression or poverty really looks like. She had to catch her dinner as a kid...
I do not think we need to slow down immigration, I think we need to improve the quality of immigrants. We need to stop being the worlds homeless shelter and instead have a more merit based immigration system where we take only the best from all over the world to help us MAGA.
I think some people in this page forget that we ARE a nation of immigrants and VERY few people can trace their ancestors back to the colonies. tbh, most white Americans are likely refugees from Europe after WW1 and WW2 wiped out Europe. During WW1 I think like half of our military was immigrants.
Immigrants are less the problem, those that come here legally. Illegals are the problem.
