imo this, prejudices if accurate can be helpful for analysing political movements etc and keeping your children protected (eg keeping them away from loonies), but not dealing with individuals. Don't let your guard down around someone who belongs to a 'harmless' group.
The main reason I support marriage equality is marriage isn't solely a Christian concept (even if it largely is in the US, though a lot of Hollywood marriages seem to be a sham for getting cash and notoriety), but it's interesting how the left gets upset about people not wanting to serve gay customers wedding cakes on religious grounds and then has zero problem booting people off their platforms for wrongthink. It's a cult at this point, and not a good one.
Science is above all else about questioning things, or it was anyway. I have more respect for a flat earther for investigates for themself (and is willing to admit reality when confronted by it) than someone who swallows everything an authority figure tells them.
Ofc, there isn't enough time for one person to question every claim, but imo the western left's science charade collapsed most blatantly with the whole "there are more than two genders and its rooted in science" bs.
It's nothing new though, in the USSR at various points they declared statistics a pseudoscience (iirc "there can be no deviation from the mean in a planned economy") and genetics too in favour of their variant of it that was better suited to the whole new Soviet man/person narrative where humans are a blank slate, despite having no basis in reality. In true communist fashion they made sure to round up actual geneticists and treat them to a luxury holiday in warm Siberia, some with extra lead.
The radicals will defend it by saying Stalin was protecting people from eugenics (which, it is true, was on the rise at the time and led to the Holocaust) and I guess nowadays to protect trans people from the supposed 20 trillion that die in western streets every year, but if Stalin cared so much about lives he wouldn't have shrugged it off so callously when the Nazis threatened to kill his son, nor would he have condemned so many of his own people, many farmers, to their deaths. It's a total attempt at misdirection because they know the foundations of their arguments are built on clay, like Marxism is.
This is even better than the complaint-box shredder.
B-but I thought Coronavirus only attends Trump rallies?
I mean people commit treason via email too nowadays, seems to be the in thing to do.
Does this mean everyone who drives a black car is due their long deserved reparations?
Kek. Maybe he'll turn up in a toga that totally isn't his bedsheets.
iirc the masks help more with keeping your bacteria and viruses to yourself, they're useless at keeping the majority healthy without a proper filter since you get as easily sick with them on (eyes are anyway the major weakpoint of the face when it comes to most viruses) and for something with a mortality rate around that of the common flu it's ridiculous. As an epidemiologist said on tv here, people are pretending to care this year for some reason when every other year as many people die of the common flu. But then, it's not frankly surprising, it never was about logic.
The quarantine itself is to damage economies, the arbitrary things are exactly that, arbitrary, they don't matter in the grand scheme of things. The point isn't the masks, it's to prevent people and businesses going about their day-to-day.
Before the mortality rate came out I could understand the apprehension and measures, but if they were serious about locking things down they wouldn't have attacked Trump and Aussie for banning travel to/from China and they wouldn't have put infected patients in elderly care homes. They also wouldn't have allowed all these leftwing marches while demonising Trump's rallies. It's social control plain and simple. If there were no other restrictions in place the masks wouldn't matter, they're a distraction.
Especially not if they haven't been born yet.
The left doesn't hide its treason anymore yes, but they definitely hide the extent of their love for China to appeal to normies. It's just that the mask has slipped in recent years.
You're not wrong on the right turning a blind eye though. I think it's a combination of both neocons doing their thing and legit cons naively believing China would become a democracy the more we trade with them/interact with them, when its those very interactions that kept the PRC financially propped up + enabled to damage worldwide.
HK is only the beginning. And the msm have the cheek to say Trump needs to be voted out to prevent China from getting even stronger, total gaslighting.
As my buddy said, had we kept them out of the WTO etc and isolated them with sanctions their system would've collapsed years ago, instead the PRC's being propped up by the rest of the world's money and in turn they're using that money to bribe and destabilise the rest of the world.
Now this made clicking on all the other links in this thread and instantly regretting my life choices okay.
I'm struggling to see a difference.
I dunno, new colour of magic? Their armies would rely on surrounding single enemies and hitting them with bikelock stuns, and they could eat their own to regain life points.
"at least 2 minutes of careful consideration" top. fucken. kek
I have never understood people who think otherwise, if you hate something you'll automatically want it to go under or at most feel ambivalent about it. Never vote for a candidate that doesn't love their country, they can be as critical as they like about it, but they should still love it. Otherwise it's only logical they want it replaced.
Looking at Obama, Trudeau, Merkel, if your elected leaders react to their national flag like a vampire to garlic, you know there's something very wrong. To want the best for your country you need to love it (and its people, otherwise you get the communist utopia where a casual 100mil are dead of starvation and holidaying in labour camps and you're starting to run out of scapegoats to blame for everything).
Problem is the whole ideology of too big to fail seems to have infiltrated the west on a whole, as with an irrational fear of trying and failing in general, the moment a corporation or other entity starts to go under you have someone in government stepping in to stick a pole up its arse, hook its heart up to an old battery and keep it going. As long as Trump is in I'm not so worried though.
I guess at least in Harvard's case they only really provide an education and since the pretence of doing that with any earnesty has grown thin employers will stop looking to them for grads, so it won't matter if they're still around by then, the damage will be done. It's gonna be funny when they sink to the level of community college as far as reputation goes.
New ENGLAND?! How dare you sir, how absolutely dare you! The whole region should be renamed.
They're not spying bigot, they're just naval enthusiasts with a penchant for photographing American submarine propellers.
While I agree with your points about indoctrination and migration, I'm curious as to where you're hearing those numbers when it comes to Russia? Last I heard (this is at least 2 years out of date) the former eastern bloc had the highest per capita abortion rates in the world, with Russia having the absolute highest at over 2x the US abortion rate coupled with a birth rate around that of the native English-speaking world. Something like two Russian babies were getting aborted for every one born. They might've turned it around since but I'd be surprised if they did.
Not an American but I have always been on the right, though I went more from a standard con leaning to right libertarian leaning (barring abortion, when I began to look into it I drifted more and more into being against it).
I was always bi but I didn't realise it for many years, I assumed it was normal to be attracted to both (all two!) sexes and never really talked about it. My tastes in men and women never factored into my politics anyway, as long as alphabet people aren't treated like they are in the near east there are so many more important things to vote on. I do fine with women and most people assume I'm very straight so I guess that's why it never really came up until university, but I still remember the first time a feminist friend of friend found out and came up to me on campus and wanted to know why I'm a rightwinger. I simply said I'd never vote for anyone who doesn't love their country and its people, no matter where I happen to choose to live, then proceeded to get called a Nazi and she followed through by attempting to shame me into voting left because of my orientation.
Unfortunately for her my whole family are stubborn like oxen and love arguing so it didn't bother me so much as take me off guard at her audacity. Normally I'm pretty quick witted but I just kinda sat there staring at her as if she was retarded. She realised.
Still, since then I always make certain to call them out for trying to shame and box people in for their orientation if I hear them doing it, it's always funny seeing the panic in their eyes. Not that many learn or, imo, actually care beyond keeping up appearances.
