  2. Do you really believe the Democrats are going to run Biden in the general election? I don't. I think he'll step aside at the time they feel is most advantageous and rush through their golden boy or golden girl, who suffered no slings and arrows of a lengthy campaign, and they will run on "I'm not Joe Biden and I'm not Donald Trump. Hope and change, blah blah blah." I really don't expect Joe to make it through to November. One way or another, he'll be withdrawn from the race, and somebody with zero record to run on will be anointed.

  3. "Intersectional lens" This is where ivory-tower geniuses divide and sub-divide us into smaller and smaller, unique groups, because they'd prefer to ignore centuries of wisdom that culminated in the Enlightenment and notions of individual rights. I think it's kind of cute that they're trying to de-construct Western Civilization in this way, but it's alarming/disappointing/utterly boring that our supposedly best minds can't see the obvious logical end-point of these endeavors: There exist inalienable individual rights that existed before and that supersede any human-organized temporal authority (government). What makes it cute is how smart, yet willfully obtuse, these geniuses are. What makes is sad is that this level of obtuseness is detrimental to society. But this is what humans do from time to time. Stupid ideas take on a life of their own and sweep through the culture. We look back and see this repeated, over and over, throughout history, but we never can see it when it's happening in real time. I don't know why. I see it. But I'm a mathematician, and so I'm trained to follow a line of reasoning to its bitter end. One of the first things they teach you is that if a premise leads to an absurd conclusion, the premise is false. I see absurd conclusions all around me, but I see no one questioning their original assumptions that led them inevitably to this "surprise ending" or "unintended consequence." No. Either you're stupid, lazy, or you intended that consequence.

  4.  @Maelli535  : The entire "peaceful protests" are being held culpable by the majority of the public, because they devolve to looting and rioting. The more this nonsense continues, the less patience people have with the "peaceful protesters" standing by and doing nothing when people start acting up and acting out. By contrast, CONSERVATIVE protests were armed and PEACEFUL. Nobody acted up. Anybody who tried would be crushed.

  6. Authoritarians always sow the seeds of their own destruction. I'm white-pilled on that. But I'm black-pilled on the masses ever recognizing the rise of authoritarianism or the horrific damage caused by authoritarians. MOST of what is GOOD about society are things that you have to LET happen. No person or group can POSSIBLY order the affairs of every individual. But they will always try, and the society and economy always break down, usually with a major war to keep the Ponzi scheme going and the leadership in power, despite their obvious failures. Yes. Hitler's economy was a MESS. It looked good the same way a Facebook braggart does, going into debt so they can post videos of all their new toys and extravagant vacations. It's all on borrowed money. The Nazis exported their inflation to conquered nations, maintaining the illusion of prosperity back home, by pillaging those countries, "paying" for what they took with paper money that was worthless. Napoleon did similar things to retain the backing of the people. When he was still conquering his neighbor countries, the French people enjoyed a false prosperity at the expense of millions dead and impoverished in the conquered lands. It's all of a pattern. We're following that same pattern in the USA. Everybody with a smart phone is an implicit participant in slave labor, environmental destruction, and horrific working conditions for people in other countries. SELLING phones to us that will break or become obsolete in a year just adds insult to injury.

  8. We have the words. We've always had the words. "He's a man who's got feminine traits. She's a woman with some masculine traits." What trans-ideology seeks to do is make it a crime to say things like that. Yes, there's a spectrum of personality traits and characteristics. But a man who feels like a woman is just that. Nothing more. And that's OK. That doesn't give him a license to visit the women's restroom or compete against girls in sports.

  21. I think that birth control and horny men convinced the feminists that it was more important to have fun and be independent than it was to be serious and raise a family. Technology has enabled many things, but at least for the time being, women still risk a lot more than men when they have sex. There's still no getting around it. I'm not going to go Biblical on people and say it's because "God Said," but there's a reason all those "God Said"s persist in the culture to this day: People who followed what (a small number of people said that ) God Said went on to have families and be successful down through the generations, so whether God Said or not, those prescriptions for living lasted over long spans of time and space. If it didn't work, people who lived by such nonsense would have perished from the Earth, per Darwin. As Jordan Peterson has said, meddling with tradition is perilous. Something silly to us and defended by mere dogma, could be one of the keys to human progress. As something of an iconoclast (or so I'm told), I'm not averse to poking holes in Christian dogma. But being the court jester who criticizes what better people have built, I'm the last person you should ask for solutions. So let me fill you in before you ask. For the time being, traditional modesty and withholding sex from men who are not wholly committed to your offspring and able to back it up are still what's best for most women. Just because you think Chad is a high-value man doesn't mean revealing all your mysteries to him without a proven commitment is not going to make you a high-value woman in Chad's eyes. Just because you can get Chad into bed doesn't mean Chad's at all interested in putting a ring on your finger. The fact that you let Chad into your bed disqualified you, on the spot! Of COURSE he told you that you're special, and he wasn't lying. That doesn't mean he has any intention of spending his life and his fortune on YOU. There are a LOT of average and above-average women out there with broken hearts, because Chad ghosted them. I think women are waking up, though. I think if you look at the economy and the monetary system, a wife who stays at home, grows a garden and does her canning and coupon-clipping is worth her weight in gold, nowadays. That's how my grandma was. And you better BELIEVE she was the BOSS of that household. Grandpa gave her his check and took out enough allowance to go bowling, and that was about it. When my mother was 10 years old, Grandma said "Let's go for a ride. I want to look at houses." To Grandpa's shock, she directed him straight to the place she intended to buy and paid cash for it, out of the house fund she built up for over 10 years. Grandpa doled out all the whoopings, but always with a rueful smile, and always on Grandma's orders. It wasn't perfect. She could be pretty domineering. She was a TRULY strong and independent woman, and a LADY. You didn't dare defy her DIGNITY. IOW, not at all like today's strong and independent women who shout it from the rooftops, while tears stream down their cheeks.

  22. I think the left will find their love of the state as agent for their good intentions is at the root of the lunacy that thinking liberals rightly decry - and get pushed into alt-right categorization for opposing so-called "liberal" orthodoxy.

  24. Everyone thought artisans would go on welfare because of manufacturing and the interchangeable part. What Weinstein leaves out of his analysis is all the jobs that currently go un-done or are currently not even imagined. There are so many services and lifestyle and living options opening up as a result of every bit of progress we make. Do we cry about unemployed flint-knappers? Are we adrift because we no longer have wise men, who alone among us, know what day the solstice is? Are we lost because we can no longer track wounded animals or scent a predator? It won't be the same. But we won't run out of things to do. This whole line of thinking is Luddism re-branded.

  26. The obviously contradictory beliefs are clashing. Bill, himself, a lover of liberty, is up against his own inner contradictions. His side thinks the government should take care of everyone from cradle to grave, but at the same time thinks that they're on the liberty side. They talk like they're jealous of their freedoms, but their entire political philosophy leads inevitably to unquestioning and unwavering obedience to the state. The person who's responsible for something has authority over that thing. Do you really want the U.S. Government "helping" you with your health care? Did COVID and the animal-fat hoaxes teach you nothing? This is the government that told you sugary cereal is a part of a balanced breakfast and that red meat is bad for your heart. No. What's clogging everybody's arteries are the man-made polyunsaturated fats that turn chemical GLOP into something you can cook with. What's the U.S. Government done for the forests under its stewardship? It's burned them down! What's the U.S. Government done for the auto industry? Made it so that they can sell a gigantic SUV but can't sell you a compact pickup truck. For the environment. Seriously. That's your EPA at work. I could go on and on. From banking and finance, to real estate, to the airline industry. And don't get me started on the USDA. Force everyone into chemical farming and then tell everybody chemical farming is bad, and cut them off, cold turkey.

  28. Rich liberal says "spend," because they know they'll have plenty left over to buy their yachts, with no further responsibility. You know? They tip as MUCH as 20%, but deduct for a long list of pet peeves. I tip like a peasant who got a bonus on Friday night. But I don't go out as much as a rich person, either. I don't get the delivery pizza 'til I've got enough to really help the driver.

  29. The pandemic was a testing ground for new/old ways of imposing totalitarian rule. We're a lot closer to totalitarianism than people think. Do you think the degree of government intervention and surveillance is LESS than it was in Soviet Russia? Look at the tools they have, now! During the pandemic, I could definitely feel the Cossacks circling. It was DANGEROUS for me to even ask common-sense questions in any public setting. People who DID ask very simple questions were systematically un-personed. They weren't as direct as the Nazis and Communists were in the 1940s, but in a way, that makes it more terrifying. These authoritarian systems inevitably fail. I'm white-pilled on that. But generation after generation remains susceptible to re-branded versions of power plays that pre-date the Romans. We always think OUR generation is facing something totally new, that justify otherwise intolerable government interventions, and before you know it, we have all the trappings of absolute rule by monarchs. All this collectivist nonsense leads inevitably to imperialist forms at home and abroad.

  30. In the British Army and Navy, it was possible to earn officer rank and advancement by merit. The aristocracy HATED this, but SO DID THE RANK-AND-FILE. They didn't want to be led by the dregs of society, as they considered themSELVES, so an officer who didn't know his Latin and use flowery speech and exhibit noblesse oblige wasn't respected.

  32.  @jeremysmith8035  Just shows your lack of understanding of the fascist (i.e. socialist) tripod on which your society already rests: State-run media, health and education. Give government those three things and you're in the bag. Neoliberalism is nothing more than fascism with a facelift. And before you start in with your uneducated "fascism is right wing," I'm gonna tell you what your virgin ears can't handle: Hitler and Mussolini were SOCIALISTS.

  35. What you call "liberalism" isn't liberalism. True liberalism is about liberty and limited government. Modern "liberals" want government to be their parent, and then cry to the heavens when their liberty is infringed as the inevitable consequence, or worse, embrace authoritarianism. That's not liberal or progressive. It's illiberal and regressive, dragging us back to a new form of absolute rule by kings.

  37. Meh. I'm sticking with the U.S. Constitution. The departures from its principles are, one by one, being exposed and rejected. I'm hearing a lot of progressives talking about de-centralization. I think COVID, forever-war, and USDA- and FDA-approved poisons may bring a few more people to the liberty side. We may yet dig our way out of this, and return to the founding principles, with stricter and more explicit provisions against government intervention. But the people would have to undergo a sea change in attitude about centralized power.

  41. DeSantis backs the war in Ukraine, or did, last I checked. That would explain why the Neocon running Daily Wire supports DeSantis over Trump. Trump made many blunders. He also refrained from real transparency, when he could've ended all doubt. His admin locked up Julian Assange. He didn't pardon Julian Assange. He should also pardon Eric Snowden. Whistleblowers - REAL whistleblowers - are despised by Democrats AND Trump, it seems. Frankly, I'm black-pilled on the lot of 'em. But Trump's the only one of the lot who is against these endless wars. I'm just not sure he has the knowledge or the right people around him to put a dent in the neocon/neolib establishment. He was elected president in 2016 and the unelected Deep State has grown MORE powerful and MORE bold. He makes Democrats think it's their duty to thwart his policies, by fair means or foul.

  42.  @hannahsonix469  When I was growing up, our parents were much more worried about what we boys might do TO people than what some stranger might do to US. I befriended an old guy with his old dog and his old pickup truck, just knocking around an old quarry. The old guy, named Ray Howell, had asthma, but he could slowly wedge flag stone out of that quarry and make some extra money (likely for booze, in hindsight). My parents, learning about this old guy, didn't once worry about "stranger danger." The first thing they said was "You're not tormenting him, are you?" LOL!

  43. I went to school in the '70s and we were taught My Country Right or Wrong, Manifest Destiny, the Union side of the Civil War (and Lincoln) were without sin, and it was entirely over slavery, and NOTHING was mentioned about robber barons in cahoots with the government to rape the South after the Union won. It wasn't perfect before the woke religion. It was a different form of government indoctrination, and we were lied to every day by MSM without knowing any better. When Walter Cronkite said "And that's the way it is, this 3rd of November, 1972," it was NOT how it was, but we all thought his word was passed down from God, himself. Woke needs to be criticized. But don't blindly defend some fictitious golden era from our past. Don't defend the bullcrap. Nobody then or now questioned the wisdom and compassion of LBJ's Great Society in the mainstream. Ardor for Vietnam had cooled by the late '60s, kind of like our ardor for destroying Russia is cooling, now, but it took YEARS to get the government to give up its "domino theory" narratives. The $hit we did in S. America and Africa was as un-American as you can get, but we were "fighting communism." Dirty tricks, coups, and mass murder were OK, if the dictator in question was "a key ally in the fight against totalitarianism." Things aren't really that different now except more people have access to more information and the ideology has shifted to anti-family, pro-socialism, and "I'm a victim, he's a victim, she's a victim. Wouldn't you like to be a victim, too?" That's bad. But the reason we're vulnerable to this stuff, now, is because of the excesses and blindness of leaders 50 and 60 years ago. I see a lot of conservatives yearning for the good old days. I'm a libertarian, and I don't want the future dominated by a small ruling-class elite, like it has been my entire life.

  46. I would argue that rolling all power into the state, by nationalizing industries, is about as far right as you can get, dragging us back to the days of Divine Right of Kings, when everybody had to do what the king said and all was under the king's purview. "Leftism" to me, is reactionary in the extreme. Give up everything to the state? Have the government run everything?
