  1.  @ARedMotorcycle  They're the same people who will cry real tears over the lost "indigenous religions."

  2. Yes. That's exactly what it takes. Two, to be precise.

  3.  @illuminahde  They're very ancillary to the product that pays their salaries. Nobody promised them riches.

  4. Neither are athletes, to be honest.

  5. French history of 'people rising up' is spotty, at best. They throw out the old rascals and generally bring in WORSE rascals. Louis XVI was out of touch. Bonaparte was a megalomaniac, who basically invented total war, with HUGE conscript armies. He had 3 main innovations as far as I can tell: The realization that really BIG guns can kill more people than small guns, that you can build a huge army if you institute the draft, and you can invade without worrying about supply lines if your 'citizen army' specializes in pillage. Maybe a 4th innovation was the simple idea that if your drummers beat a faster tempo, your army would march faster! Woo-Hoo! Unlike the American revolution, the French had no real idea of what self-rule should look like. They just rejected the decadent monarchy, with no clear plan for civilian rule. So they went from a traditional autocrat, king by birthright, anointed by the Church, to an Emperor who grabbed more real power than the Bourbons ever had. They weren't against being ruled by a dictator. They just wanted the dictator to be a god-like figure who made all the RIGHT decisions. Similar situation in China, where the people don't really have any understanding of self rule, and the ONLY way they turn over their government is when the current one's incompetence can no longer be denied. Sadly, this is human nature. It took some pretty unique conditions for the U.S. Constitution to be created. Self-rule. Explicit limitations on the exercise of power, before our government ever CAME to power. Every other time in history, limitations were only ever instituted AFTER severe abuses took place. I think the USA is the only country whose government was more or less a scientific application of the lessons of history. What made us exceptional is that we didn't kid ourselves that we were exceptional, and somehow immune to the same corruption and decay that caused us to revolt against the monarchy in the first place. Very rare in a bunch of revolutionaries. That's the exceptional part. That George Washington would serve his 2 terms and refuse to run, again. That no president (until a power-hungry Democrat in the 20th Century came along) ever sought more than 2 terms and that we'd even write it into law. Would that the Congress would write such laws governing themSELVES!

  6.  @johnkelly1083  It's a massive troll, regardless, first for those who gobble up this narrative unexamined, and now, for the rest of us, who enjoy stories of NPCs abrading against reality.

  7.  @ajax5148  At that level, the discipline involved far exceeds anything I ever did.

  8. The last few hundred years, we peasants have gotten too uppity. We're much easier to control when we're poor and lack transportation. NONE of the "officials" pushing this top-down, authoritarian "green push" will be affected. None of them are changing THEIR lifestyles. None of THEM are giving up firearms for protection. None of THEM gave up social gatherings during lockdowns. 300 years after we shot down the aristocracy, the aristocracy is making its bid for a return to serfdom for the masses. Everything we do to live better is being systematically taken away, in the name of global-warming religion that's run by charlatans.

  9. Welcome to America! I thought only we were this stupid, deluded, and corrupt!

  10.  @heypistolero  She actually thinks she's dunking on him. Her friend circle is probably telling her how stunning, brave, and smart she is.

  11. Buying an electric car to "save the planet" is ridiculous. It's just trading one form of pollution for another. Meanwhile, electricity is generated mostly by coal, oil and gas powered plants. Every time you use fuel to generate electricity, you waste some fuel. Changing energy from one form to another always loses some energy. It's entropy. Using that fuel to power your vehicle directly is the most efficient use of that fuel.

  12. She does have a point. There are a lot of guys out there who are in an arrested state of adolescence. What makes it worse is that modern women look right past the kinds of guys who would make good husbands, because Chad and Pookie ruined them for other men, with zero intention of making them wives.

  13.  @aliorr9356  I think showing respect should be the default attitude. That respect can be lost in an instant, when things go down a pathological path.

  15. Yeah, they're propagandists, but where did they say they were doing propaganda? You make a good point, but then you reach, like a Methodist preacher, fresh out of ideas for the next sermon.

  16. I always liked your content, but you sit too damn close to the camera. Talk to me. Don't offer your tonsils for inspection. Maybe then I'd frequent this place more and support you more concretely.

  17. Isn't "after not being vaccinated" actually "before being vaccinated" or "without being vaccinated?" Why are those who see fascists under every rock the closest thing to fascists in modern society? Asking for a friend.
