To avoid war, you must engage in diplomacy. To engage in diplomacy, you must be able to negotiate. To negotiate, you must be able to cite common interests. To cite common interests, you must cite common truths. To cite common truths, you must observe a shared reality. We do not have a shared reality with the left.

Almost everything liberals believe in boils down to the mistaken assumption that universalism should abolish all particularities. “We’re all just highly advanced monkeys living on the same floating rock in space. We’re all global citizens. We’re all the same man, or at the very least, we all should be.” Why on earth should the oneness of something automatically entail the sameness of its constituent parts? A symphony is one piece of music, but it contains thousands of different notes. And if you remove all the particular distinctions between them, you get silence, not “unity”.

Well, some of us kinda figured out that rampant fraud that hands benefits to non-citizens isn't all that beneficial to us.

Well, most of us abandoned New York because it constantly keeps voting to self-destruct, but insofar as New York is becoming an open-air zoo, that could be a problem since places run by communists generally are forced to eat their zoo animals.

Well, yes. Because we all know what the outcome would be based solely on the race of the defendant.

Well, other than being gay, this sums up my way of thinking as well.

Which is one reason why no matter what Trump might do, agree or not, I will never regret voting for or supporting him.

I would say largely by feminism, which can include men and women.

Actually, that's exactly the right way to think about it. The states in the US were meant to me semi-autonomous domains that gave up a portion of their sovereignty to the federal government to form a union.

Elon could literally solve homelessness tomorrow. All he needs to do is sell his stake in the companies he created from the ground up, crashing the price and evaporating his wealth as well as the savings and pensions of workers globally.. handing the control of these companies over to short term profit interests and preventing any long term vision from being enacted.. THEN take whatever money that remains which will be nowhere near 1tn and give it to homeless charities who have never solved homelessness anywhere on earth because they’re financially incentivised to do the opposite. Bam - homelessness solved. The reason he doesn’t do any of this is because he’s evil.

You're being overly obtuse. It's not "anti-foreigner." It's "anti-foreigners degrading your culture and turning the country into something it isn't." I don't see anyone saying that all foreigners should be expelled, but rather, those foreigners who refuse to respect Japanese customs and culture.

This shit is disgusting. The jury heard the evidence, including from Black witnesses on the defense side, and still convicted Karmelo Anthony of murder. Instead of dealing with that, the reaction decided the real problem was that Austin Metcalf didn’t know how to properly kiss someone’s ass before he got stabbed. That’s the actual argument being made. A Howard University professor came out and said the father failed to teach his son that Black kids have boundaries and that their space isn’t to be challenged. In other words, the dead kid should have known his place and backed the fuck down. That’s the standard they’re defending after a murder conviction. Not self-defense. Not fear for life. Just “he got too close and didn’t show the right kind of respect.” And when that didn’t fly in court, they lost their fucking minds. Death threats to the family. People talking about shitting on Austin’s grave. Some sick fucks started an “Austin Metcalf challenge” where they mock the way he died. Jasmine Crockett had the balls to say Anthony was justified because he didn’t want to stand in the rain. The rain. That’s where we are now. They’re not mad that a kid got killed. They’re mad that the killer actually had to face consequences for it. They’re furious the old rules still worked long enough for a jury to do its job. This isn’t complicated and it sure as hell isn’t deep. It’s a bunch of people openly arguing that murder is acceptable as long as you can dress it up as some kind of boundary enforcement after the fact. And the second a court said no, they showed exactly who they are. (article below)

People are pissed @elonmusk is the world's first trillionaire and scream he needs to 'pay his fair share.' Meanwhile, his companies employ over 150,000 people, just created more than 4,400 new millionaires with the SpaceX IPO alone, and pay tons of six-figure salaries every year On top of that, Musk paid about $11 billion in personal taxes in 2021 - more than the entire GDP of dozens of countries - and he expects to pay over $500 billion in taxes over his lifetime That $11 billion alone could've covered a full year of free school lunches for every kid in America. Instead, the government wastes $186 billion every year on improper payments - fraud, overpayments, and screw-ups Their anger is being directed to the wrong place

Either this is ragebait or you're stupid beyond belief. Well, I suppose those two possibilities aren't mutually exclusive.

Fascinating. I experience "white" people all the time. I have yet to find any reason to hate them as a group. In fact, if I were the type to hate an entire racial group, (I'm not, though) it's "black" people I'd have a problem with if I compared experiences.

Or maybe the "racism" was taught by a bunch of racialist lunatics threatening his family after *his* son was murdered. Might've been that.

I wish I had that screenshot handy about how leftist discourse consists of them pretending not to understand things.

A neighbour heard a girl scream and called the police. Officers found a 13-year-old at 3 a.m., clothing disrupted, in a house with a group of men who had given her vodka. The men were not questioned. The girl was arrested — for being drunk and disorderly. This is not a rumour. It is in the Jay Report, and it was put to South Yorkshire's chief constable in Parliament. Another case: a 12-year-old found in a car with a 22-year-old man who had indecent images of her on his phone. No action taken. The British state had handcuffs that night. It used them on the child. What does a justice system call itself when the victim gets a criminal record and the abuser keeps his taxi licence?
