I just don't see how that's even possible. You'd have to be completely brain dead. She was absolutely terrible. She even started mimicking Pence's debate style as if she admired how good he was at trouncing her. I imagine it was like what watching the NBA vs.a high school basketball team would look like.

Yet, there's still people who think Pence did bad... it's just... whyyyyyyyyy???

How about hat plagiarism comment... just complete and utter annihilation.

Been arguing with this liberal who thinks taxes are perfectly legitimate and aren't theft. I keep trying to give her analogies like if I walk into your home, hold a gun to your head and say give me 20% of your income to reduce my oppression, isn't that theft? Why when the government does it, is it not theft?

Instead, of course, the liberal keeps resorting to insults. "It isn't theft and you're obviously living in a different reality than me and many others."

I live in a conservative city and all the board members are mostly women and mostly on their profiles they list "diversity and inclusion", "social justice" etc... as big concerns of theirs even at Catholic schools.

We aren't going to win if we expect Trump to do everything for us. Men need to get involved in schools again and kick these social justice warriors out.

The Pope released his FRATELLI TUTTI ON FRATERNITY AND SOCIAL FRIENDSHIP

http://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/encyclicals/documents/papa-francesco_20201003_enciclica-fratelli-tutti.html

"Liberty, equality and fraternity

  1. Fraternity is born not only of a climate of respect for individual liberties, or even of a certain administratively guaranteed equality. Fraternity necessarily calls for something greater, which in turn enhances freedom and equality. What happens when fraternity is not consciously cultivated, when there is a lack of political will to promote it through education in fraternity, through dialogue and through the recognition of the values of reciprocity and mutual enrichment? Liberty becomes nothing more than a condition for living as we will, completely free to choose to whom or what we will belong, or simply to possess or exploit. This shallow understanding has little to do with the richness of a liberty directed above all to love.

  2. Nor is equality achieved by an abstract proclamation that “all men and women are equal”. Instead, it is the result of the conscious and careful cultivation of fraternity. Those capable only of being “associates” create closed worlds. Within that framework, what place is there for those who are not part of one’s group of associates, yet long for a better life for themselves and their families?

  3. Individualism does not make us more free, more equal, more fraternal. The mere sum of individual interests is not capable of generating a better world for the whole human family. Nor can it save us from the many ills that are now increasingly globalized. Radical individualism is a virus that is extremely difficult to eliminate, for it is clever. It makes us believe that everything consists in giving free rein to our own ambitions, as if by pursuing ever greater ambitions and creating safety nets we would somehow be serving the common good."

Now, I've read this before... hmm... oh yeah, I know.

The Doctrine of Fascism by Benito Mussolini

"A spiritual attitude.Fascism sees in the world not only those superficial, material aspects in which man appears as an individual, standing by himself, self-centered, subject to natural law, whichinstinctively urges him toward a life of selfish momentary pleasure; it sees not only the individual but the nation and the country; individuals and generations bound together by a moral law, with common traditions and a mission which suppressing the instinct for life closed in a brief circle of pleasure, builds up a higher life, founded on duty, a life free from the limitations of time and space, in which the individual, by self-sacrifice, the renunciation of self-interest, by death itself, can achieve that purely spiritual existence in which his value as a man consists.

Anti-individualistic, the Fascist conception of life stresses the importance of the State and accepts the individual only in so far as his interests coincide with those of the State, which stands for the conscience and the universal, will of man as a historic entity. It is opposed to classical liberalism which arose as a reaction to absolutism and exhausted its historical function when the State became the expression of the conscience and will of the people. Liberalism denied the State in the name of the individual; Fascism reassertsThe rights of the State as expressing the real essence of the individual.And if liberty is to he the attribute of living men and not of abstract dummies invented by individualistic liberalism, then Fascism stands for liberty, and for the only liberty worth having, the liberty of the State and of the individual within the State. The Fascist conception of the State is all embracing; outside of it no human or spiritual values can exist, much less have value. Thus understood, Fascism, is totalitarian, and the FascistState—a synthesis and a unit inclusive of all values —interprets, develops, and potentates the whole life of a people."

The only technical difference between a fascist and communist is that a communist wants the entire world to be a single state without recognizing a state exists and a fascist recognizes differing states and centers the ideology around nationalism over internationalism. The essence of the two are identical.

Just a constant struggle between good and evil... is this struggle what gives America its strength?

I'd probably have thought they were crazy.

I'm chatting with this woman and out of the blue she's like, I'm a feminist. I'm like oh I hate feminism. She's like oh I used to as well but then I learned it was just about equal rights for women. I'm like okay what rights don't you have? She's like lots. I'm like name me one? She deflects the question and is like, do you know Ruth Bader Ginsburg? I respond that I do know that Jewish Eugenicist. Why do you ask... Do you even know one thing she ruled on to help women? She's like Roe v. Wade. I'm like uhh, you need to get your facts straight because RBG wasn't on the surpeme court when Roe v. Wade was ruled on but that doesn't matter because Amy Coney Barret is going to overturn that so everyone stops killing babies. ACB is what every feminist should strive for. Big family, great mother and still able to balance working with it all. ACB is way better than RBG. Woman stops talking to me.

What made this whole conversation even more fucked up... I'm in Canada.

I propose 2 countries.

Country 1: Left-wing, multiculturalism, liberalism, socialism, high taxes to pay for free healthcare, education, no police, tons of community programs, green new deal, etc... Literally everything the left wants. Run as a total democracy. No senate, no proportional representation. Anyone can vote, including 16yo+. Open borders. Social justice policies in everything (CRT taught everywhere). Give them everything they want.

Country 2: Trump dictatorship + republic (only qualified citizens can vote; 30yo+, 4yr military, must have biological children, must be married or widowed and net positive tax contribution to society). Traditional Catholicism is official state religion. Law designed to match Catholicism (pro-life, illegal to commit adultery, ban porn, traditional roles for women, etc...) Full on nationalism and capitalism. Much lower taxes (flat tax), low regulations, no welfare state (gone completely), no public sector anything except the bare minimum (public education gone). Closed borders (no immigration at all).

You get to pick which you want to live in. Let's just do it and see which society ends up being better.

Since it's on everyone's mind. How about everyone post in this topic what your prediction is for Trump's covid-19 4D Chess move.

  • Was this entirely by chance and Trump will just wait until it's over doing nothing except tweeting all day with status updates?

  • Is Trump going to campaign through despite having covid-19 and prove to everyone that it's a weak virus, suggesting we can just open everything up?

  • Is Trump going to be hospitalized and on his death bed only to bounce back and get a sympathy vote?

  • Will Trump claim covid-19 is terrible as a way to push his vaccine?

  • Will Trump use HCQ and claim it cured him in order to promote HCQ again?

  • Is this really just a security ploy because of assassination scares?

  • Is Trump giving Biden an out from the debates because he knew Biden was going to cheat in the next couple?

  • Is Trump actually using this time to plan again the democrat's military coup and this is just a way to secretly prepare without the democrats thinking he's actively preparing?

Since no one dresses up as Hitler to protest racism. I can only come to one conclusion:

Women must really like playing the role of whatever this red costume represents.

What's the point of bringing in immigrants instead of having bigger families? I feel like bigger domestic families would be a net positive over immigrants.

44

I don't get these people.

Did Trump say a time he was going to announce the pick?

32

Ended up getting everyone to hate me at the house party because I said Hitler was a socialist, fascism is left wing, nationalism is good, communism is worse than Nazis and capitalism is the only good.

After that everyone thought I was a Hitler supporter and wanted nothing to do with me.

At a house party full of women. What the fuck is going on in society? This is getting out of hand.

They argued free trade exploited labour in other countries and drove down wages in domestic countries. They saw it as only making the wealth, wealthier while hurting people back at home.

Now they fully embrace neoliberalism which helps China.

Funny how buying off people with welfare handouts sure changes their perception on things.
