His name is Ashton.

At least, that's the name his parents will put on his gravestone soon.

There's no point to the vaccine anyway. It's like a shingles shot.

It doesn't prevent you from getting it or spreading it. It just makes the symptoms less severe if you do.

If you don't have a bunch of risk factors, you are quite literally at higher risk of harm from the vaccine than the disease. This is the kind of thing (just like the shingles vaccine) that only frail old fogies should even be considering.

While I know this doesn't stop here, this specific example is the kind of thing we should support.

Why?

Because it's privately funded.

This is simply a charity, nothing more. A privately funded charity should be able to do with their funds as they please.

Now, I know, if they only gave it to white families it would be national news for a month and they would be crucified, but in principle this is something we should all be fine with.

My response would be more along the lines of "Whites stop donating to charity and watch how many of them completely dry up."

Just a quick reminder that the founders knew these idiots would try to pull shit like this and gave us the Ninth Amendment to prevent it.

This should be challenged at every level, in every state, in every case, regardless of precedent.

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

In other words, you have to prove that we specifically don't have a right to do something in order to prevent us from doing it. Saying that the Constitution doesn't guarantee it specifically isn't good enough, because it does specifically guarantee it, it just doesn't name it.

That's what got me laughing about this post.

None of those things apply to cars.

Also, everybody is talking about his dad being a child rapist, but no one seems to be connecting the dots.

100% chance this dude was raped by his dad regularly.

Bakery guy has an even stronger case than that.

Walmart is trying to make their customers do things.

Baker is just not doing something he doesn't want to do.

The proper analogy would be the opposite, if masks were mandated and Walmart told their customers they didn't have to.

What would things been like [in Russia] if during periods of mass arrests people had not simply sat there, paling with terror at every bang on the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but understood they had nothing to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people?

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Let's have some more from the perspective of a survivor of Stalin's Russia:

To destroy a people, you must first sever their roots.

You must understand, the leading Bolsheviks who took over Russia were not Russians. They hated Russians. They hated Christians. Driven by ethnic hatred they tortured and slaughtered millions of Russians without a shred of human remorse. It cannot be overstated. Bolshevism committed the greatest human slaughter of all time. The fact that most of the world is ignorant and uncaring about this enormous crime is proof that the global media is in the hands of the perpetrators.

It's an universal law-- intolerance is the first sign of an inadequate education. An ill-educated person behaves with arrogant impatience, whereas truly profound education breeds humility.

To do evil a human being must first of all believe that what he's doing is good... Ideology - that is what gives evildoing its long-sought justification and gives the evildoer the necessary steadfastness and determination. That is the social theory which helps to make his acts seem good instead of bad in his own and others' eyes, so that he won't hear reproaches and curses but will receive praise and honors.

Evil people always support each other; that is their chief strength.

The generation now coming out of Western schools is unable to distinguish good from bad. Even those words are unacceptable. This results in impaired thinking ability.

Hastiness and superficiality are the psychic diseases of the 20th century, and more than anywhere else this disease is reflected in the press.

This man lived through the USSR and watched how it all happened.

He could be talking about America right now.

Sounds like you've never played by the actual rules. I always felt this way too, as did everyone I knew.

Turns out we were just playing the game wrong and it changes everything.

The way we all learned it, you roll the dice, you land on a property, and if you want to buy it, you do. If you don't, you pass the dice. Right?

Wrong. If you don't want the property you landed on, it goes up for auction immediately. Now instead of being a boring game of going around the board, it becomes a cutthroat game of risk vs. reward and you very quickly begin to understand why the game is named what it is.

The person who gets the first good properties and is able to improve them the fastest ends up with more income. With more income, you are able to muscle out the other players during auction, giving you even more good properties and income potential. From there it snowballs quickly until that person wins by a mile.

Which is actually the point of the entire game. It was designed as an anti-capitalist lesson, and when played with the original rules, that's what you get. It also goes a lot faster.

Hey! I'll tell you a secret!

The middle class is the only portion of the country that pays income taxes.

Poor people get money from the government.

Rich people pour all their money into investments and pay capital gains tax unless they actively want to pay income tax to avoid scandal, and that's if they even choose to have an income at all. Any business owner can put his entire salary back into the company and pay himself just enough to cover his personal bills.

Corporations simply roll corporate income tax into the price of the goods they sell.

But if you have a half decent paycheck that someone else signs but it's not enough to be able to afford to live off the dividends from your investments, then guess what!

You're fucked!

My favorite part is that they are so obsessed with attention that this idiot didn't even have enough respect for the logo to paint it over her eybrows.

No, what was more important was that everyone be able to see her behind the logo, not the logo itself.

When it comes to mutations, we've never observed a beneficial one in nature before. Mutations are neutral, damaging, or deadly

You know less than nothing about this topic. The entirety of natural selection derives from beneficial mutations that allow an individual in a species to outcompete and procreate more than the rest of the species, and then his descendants do the same because they inherit that beneficial mutation.

Please stop talking about things you know nothing about.

At this point I am more inclined to believe you are a sock puppet saying this shit just to make the rest of us look bad.

No. That's not how it worked. They weren't slaves for a time frame.

They were slaves until they paid off their debt, which never happened because the people they owed money to had all the power in the situation and came up with any umber of ways to reduce what they were paid or to increase what was owed so that they would never be able to pay it off.

If you owe someone $10,000, work for them for a year, pay them $1,000, but they charged you $1,000 in interest, you just worked for them for a year for free. That's just slavery with extra steps.
