  1. I think some people just have to double down because of all the ground they will lose if they admit they're wrong on the slightest thing. I see this a lot, these days.

  2. Net Zero gets in the way of a lot of things people would do to pollute less.

  3. I discovered him through "Monarchy" on YouTube. Very insightful man.

  4. Yes. There's still a huge, nanny-government left, philosophically, if the left would discard its more lunatic notions, like identity politics and globalism. If they want to see themselves as movers and shakers on this new world stage, then they must needs secure the votes at home, and that is necessarily more of a nationalistic sort of thing. As a libertarian, I think getting globalism down to nationalism level is a step in the right direction, but then I'd immediately set out to whittle away at nationalism in favor of the counties and boroughs. Return more authority and self-responsibility to the boroughs, and the Danish invaders will have no chance against the nation. Sure, band together to fight off foreign invaders and the odd major catastrophe. But the key to sustainable nations is in the sustainable and self-supporting nature of its constituent boroughs. From the volunteer fire department, to the delightful social events that raise money for more beds and an MRI at the community hospital. Take CARE of your old folks, who were kind and took care of YOU. Real charity, in other words. Government services have atrophied the community spirit. I can see a return to that in the future, as more and more people reject how the stuffed-shirt government-administrator types muck things up, trying to run everything by remote control, in top-down fashion. Top-down is for the crisis. Bottom-up is for the day-to-day, and we've lost sight of that.

  5. Democracy needs to be leavened by a strong constitution, which I don't see in Europe or UK. Free speech? Optional. Right to keep and bear arms? Optional. Due process? Optional.

  6. If you fly to a climate conference in a private jet, you are disqualified from setting policy and no one should take you seriously..

  8.  @Bluepilled-c5t  Exactly. The problem with democracy, itself, is that for long periods of time (decades), a nation can pretend there is no gap between its infinite wants and its finite means. "Cue the printing presses! We need another $100 billion!" Here's the thing about the majority: On the one hand, it must not be ignored. On the other, it must not be obeyed.

  9. Then why doesn't it change? An American would like to know, because it's the same, here.

  11. Milei absolutely gets economics, but yes, his confidence in the u.s. dollar is a bit misplaced. But you can see it's at least a better currency than what they have.

  12. BLM comes out when Democrats want them to, in presidential election season. They go away after Dems are done using them. Blacks voting Democrat is the plantation, now.

  13.  Blake839  : I get what you're saying, but my point is there is no equivalent of the Bill of Rights in any other Constitution in the world. And the 2nd Amendment is the ultimate guarantee of all rights enumerated in the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights.

  15. Nobody talks about how this is rooted in ethnic conflicts millennia in the making, and how the USA and WW II Allies carved out the ethno-state of Israel in 1948, by force of arms, and have preserved the ethno-state by force of arms, ever since. Israel's enemies are what we made them to be. Israel's atrocities are what we made them to be, putting them in constant peril and under constant attack. Both sides have recent atrocities they can point to, to justify the atrocities they are committing, in the present. I see no real solution, but I think the USA and Europe have no right to dictate how the map is drawn in the region, and we've been doing that for over a century, with the USA picking up where weakening Europe and Britain left off. We can't solve the world's problems, but we can sure as hell return to our constitutional roots (USA) and quit ADDING to them. Until we end our participation, there will be forever war in the region. But nobody's talking about that. Everybody's talking about either October 7 atrocities or open-air prison in Gaza and genocide. BOTH sides are locked in an existential battle, and are the pawns of foreign powers. Foreign powers, in turn, are dragged into conflicts of their own making, when using their "pawns" as proxies (Do any of you remember Israeli bombings of Iraq, several decades ago?).

  16. Global warming is entirely (Michael) Mann-made. Erase decades of cooling in the 20th Century, pick the coldest point in the cooling in the 1970s, and call that your base line. Then make millions (billions) of dollars off the "hockey stick." Fiddling with the data, when the data are so complicated and vast, is easy.

  17. Losers always want a do-over. But for the first time in history, the losers refuse to admit they lost.

  18.  @mobob75  It's what the people asked for, as reflected by majority vote.

  19.  @davidrenton  Nonsense. There will always be new jobs created. New services nobody knew they needed, as technology evolves. There are always more jobs needing done than people or resources to perform them. Jobs we couldn't imagine, yesterday. It has always been this way, and it only goes awry when the government gets too big and powerful.

  22. We've had the technological wherewithal to beam solar power down from space with microwave power satellites since the 1970s. No nuclear waste, No carbon emissions. Just a big ole death ray in space! LOL! Dangers with all forms of energy. All about the risk management. Coal burning puts off more radiation than a nuclear power plant. It's just a risk we've always accepted, without even thinking about it. There's lots of lunacy on energy policy and environment, and it stretches back decades. I think the way people live is evolving very rapidly. More rapidly than legacy institutions can adapt. Immortal ANYthing is doomed. This is why every creature has an "age" gene. If the current don't die off, then they won't be able to adapt to new conditions. The only way we get better is variation over generations. Some hundreds of millions of years ago, the creatures who were mortal and changed over time eventually ate all the critters that lived forever, unchanged. My guess is that this happened on the cellular level.

  24. Convert to Islam or deport Islam? Are those the two options?

  25. Refuse to kow-tow. If we all did, they wouldn't be able to lock all of us up. But people are cowards. I don't feel like I'm very brave, myself, but I just don't have it in me to say what i don't believe or to stop myself from speaking as close to truth as I am able. It doesn't make me very popular, but I always sleep at night, with a clear conscience. I look at Wil Thomas and I just see a pervert getting his woman-hating and self-loving-above-all-else lunatic getting his freak on.

  27. I have to admit that's a good point, towards the end. It's not that the electorate aren't left of center. They still love their nanny government. NHS remains a sacred cow, as does public education. Both should be abolished. The latter is quite obsolete, very 19th-Century,
