If you want to be an oppressor, becoming a commie is an excellent choice. While there's tons of sheep commies, the actual cognizant ones are sub-humans who simply get high on the whiff of power over others.
It helps if you translate "trans" to "towards". If you want to become a dildo, you're a transdildo.
No, he means that they're taking an originally valid concept and then stretch it so much that it's blown out of existence, losing all meaning.
wtf wow :o
I told her that was racist.

Great question!
There's no doubt there are systemic hurdles but they're not the ones most people think.
-
Shitty schools by design. See how NY has been fighting tooth and nail against charter schools which have thunderously proved in practice that quality and low-cost education that produces great results can be easily made available to minorities.
-
Shitty security by design. When you allow ghettos to flourish, you effectively hamper the emergence of a middle class. And a healthy middle class is the soil for community progress, both in monetary and in cultural ways. Destroy the soil, you get weeds instead of a forest.
-
Strong incentives for the destruction of the family unit. Given the advantages the state offers for single-parent "families", is there any surprise on how harder is on average for the kids to grow up well? This perpetuates a cycle of decline.
There are other things as well but let's leave it here for now.
Giving my children advantages in life is why I work
Amen.
The original meaning of privilege is about class-specific law. So, for an extreme example, you're a lord in an area and you can "taste" your serf's bride at his wedding day because law says so.
They have twisted the "things you can do with legal impunity while others can't" to literally "not being dirt poor".
Some public schools are certainly good enough that a private school is unnecessary.
No doubt. They can't all suck, there has to be a distribution in terms of performance. But it's a big fat gamble and you have so little control.
And I admit that the social aspect was very hard. But you know what they say about hard times. They make great people.
Yes, if you survive a war, you come out a better person. But you may also get crippled or die in a war. In general, training is great but it's controlled training that brings the benefits in the safest way.
That'll break most of the communist teachings.
The collectivist thinking is so pervasive in our culture and revolves around multiple permutations, not just economics. It's great that you have a plan, you're ahead of most. But you need to be vigilant and diligent and avoid becoming complacent.
Clearly you have no idea about what the level of the average education professional is. But it's not just that, it would be barely tolerable if so. The worst part is the systemic objectives of a schooling institution. If you think that today's public school exists to advance your kids' future prospects, you're just a big failure of a parent.
This argument is so telling. It shows how inferior public school education is when the jerk-knee question is "but muh socialization". And it also shows how stupid people can be. As if socializing equals going to a public school. Society does not exist elsewhere?
Hold your ground, your kids will thank you in the future.
^ this. I never argue for the other person (unless of course it's a honest discussion). But it serves as a pay it forward. Someone at the audience might get a ray of light.
Actions speak louder than words and i will never accept when people say that words hurt, words matter. They don't. Actions matter. Truthful information matters
This is obviously completely wrong. If words didn't matter and truthful information did, the left mafia wouldn't have spend so much effort to control the fake news press and the "intelligentsia". And we know really well how powerful those weapons have been.
Now, of course, you may grandstand and say "but they don't matter to me, only to weaklings" but the next question is ... so what? You're one person, what do you count for in the big picture?
but left me disheartened that so many in my life are so deeply entrenched in the liberal mindset.
Well, it's your life, so you have the possibility AND responsibility (to your future self) to fix it. Throw the trash away, spend your time with people you value.
Then she asked me if “black lives matter” and I said “yeah some”.
I understand that I have the advantage of not being there in real time but this last one wasn't as great as the previous ones because you were "no, nope" and then <pressure mounting> "uggh, kinda". I'd go with "as much as every other life".
That's a great write-up.
For the lack of a cord with which to strangle kings.
Well, unless they give you $$$$$, in which case you kinda forget about the rope thing and graciously accept it.
"His fortunes improved significantly in 1766, when Empress Catherine the Great, who heard of his financial troubles, paid him 50,000 francs to serve as her librarian."
Looks like an excellent Supreme Court nominee to me.
If there is no punishment ever for a crime, is it still a crime?
As a wise man said about 2400 years ago (and I shall paraphrase it in slang), "it ain't no crime if you don't get caught."
Dude, are you dumb? He's saying that a constitution without a culture to support it means nothing. Haven't you noticed the BLM shit and all? Now imagine it being the majority. See anything scary now?
Put on your mask. Slide it upwards. Cough on her. Slide it back in position. Horror ensues :D
It's safe to look into it, nothing to do with stuff that can bring you nightmares.
