They don't push these kind of shootings because then people might catch on to the fact that most shootings are gang related and happen in places with the strictest gun laws.

"I tried so hard and got so far, but in the end it didn't even matter." - Linkin Park/Republicans

At a presumably private greenhouse?

I'd love for one of them to point out any of this hate they keep talking about.

I think the hate they mean must be their own. I'm not seeing it come from anybody else.

Nbd, but the GBI agent investigating it "committed suicide" a few weeks later.

Sorry I don't have a link off-hand. Hopefully somebody else can help me out.

So I guess she'll be reviewing Cuomo?

Isn't the power grid non-capitalist? Although I guess it's different in Texas. Do they have competing power companies there?

And the skyrocketing gas prices were due to hovernment intervention. Which is practically the opposite of capitalism.

Can I get a source on them calling it a gaffe? It seems too retarded for even them.

That would be a valid point if we didn't all know that logic is an oppressive white supremacist construct.

Biden is on video deliberately pinching a young girls nipple. What we can verify with video proof of what he does to children goes well beyond just sniffing.

I love how "defeating" the wrong political views is "protecting democracy".

The dude is literally on video pinching a young girl's nipple.

"I say nice thing about America not failing while actively working towards that goal. But I don't make mean tweets which makes me best suited for this job."

Brought to you by the people preaching "unity".

That statement isn't an algorithm. It's an inequality. Think of the double bars as representing the "length" of what's inside.

Typically with a statement like this A and U will depend somehow on n, which is a value we can choose.

Without more context it's hard to say, but I would guess that what's going on that the ratio of the "lengths" of A and U is a quantity that they want to minimize for whatever reason. That inequality says we can ensure that ratio is "small enough" by choosing n so that the right hand side is "small enough".

Let me first give basic definitions of individualism and collectivism. These may not be the definitions that you'd find in philosophy books, but I think this is pretty much what people here mean by them.

Individualism: The idea that the individual is the ultimate arbiter of one's actions. It's up to the individual to determine what's best for themselves and to decide how to live their lives.

Collectivism: The idea that the collective is the ultimate arbiter of one's actions. The individual must act in accordance with the needs of the collective. The collective decides how the individual lives their life.

You have a few misunderstandings.

1. Individualism doesn't preclude collective organization or action. There's nothing to say that individuals can't decide it's in their best interest to act collectively. An individual can feel a sense of duty to their family/community/country/whatever.

2. There are no purely individualistic or collectivist societies. Realistically, there's a spectrum from individualism and collectivism and all societies lie somewhere on that spectrum. So to answer your question: yes, the US has some collectivist attributes.

Personally, I don't think from a purely theoretical/philosophical viewpoint that either individualism or collectivism necessarily lead to tyranny or tragedy. However, I would argue that collectivism will always tend towards tyranny and makes it much easier to justify horrible things. That being said, both ends of the ideological spectrum have issues, and extreme adherence to one or the other will more likely lead to the issues being amplified. Further, neither extreme is realistically achievable in the real world.

I would argue that the more individualistic end of the spectrum leads to better results because it doesn't require altruistic behavior to work properly, which collectivism does.

Communism, in particular, has the issue of requiring adherence to a philosophically pure form of collectivism that can't be achieved in practice. Ideologically pure collectivism allows for the justification of atrocities in the name of the greater good. Because of this, communism will always devolve into what it has historically. On paper, communism seems like a decent idea. The problem is that, to work, communism requires perfect adherence to an ideology that humanity is incapable of.

"I hid the data because I didn't want to be held accountable for causing so many unnecessary deaths." - Andrew "The People's President" Cuomo

Individuals can choose to cooperate with each other.

It's a strawman.

But were the democrats even being taken out of context though?

More definitely not made up polling!

To be honest, I'd believe this number if I were told they only polled the most die-hard Biden supporters.

It's so Raffenscuck can let Warlock off and say "See? I investigated Warnock so obviously nothing happened in the presidential race otherwise I would have investigated it."

I've seen so many people here refer to government jobs as welfare. Those same people can't figure out why democrats run everything.

But we were told that Biden is a moderate/centrist...

Any time anybody posts anything about how Joe is such a good guy they should be responded to with the video of him clearly and deliberately pinching a young girls nipple.
