  2.  @rebeccasponderings8459  The disinformation, financial pressure, and psychological pressure exerted on people was off the charts.

  3. @Julian Keippel : I got argued out of leftism at about age 14, when I sounded much like any millennial (though I'm much older). It didn't happen in one sitting, but as I learned more history, I saw what brought progress and prosperity and what didn't. And it turned out that liberty and property rights are the cornucopia from which all else flows. The rest is just people who want to boss other people around.

  5. I couldn't live in a way that Mormons approved, but if I wanted a lovely, smart, loyal, dependable wife, a Mormon would be a good choice. And there are real positives in the community thing they have going. Also some real negatives. I think when you see the piles of discarded signs and - this is fact - Starbuck's cups in the wake of any Antifa get-together, that tells you all you need to know about where those juveniles' heads are REALLY at.

  6. I don't think it's meanness. And I don't think it's everybody. But you do seem to see a lot of people who've lived entitled all their lives blow their tops at imagined injustices. I think they earn status points in proportion to how upset they act. It's called "luxury radicalism," or "luxury activism," I think, and its purpose is for preening at cocktail parties at the country-club fundraiser. It's very stylish to go to "events" and "actions." Sport the right gear, tell a good story, express your unquestioning and undying compassion and love for everybody and everything... Because you're special. "That's obviously a knock-off, my deah. The unicorn's facing the wrong way."

  7. Foreign MDs in UK aren't DEI. They're the result of driving all the native English talent out of the NHS. Someone from India thinks it's great money and a great system. Nobody born in England wants to go through all the training just to be an underpaid government flunky, instead of a respected, prosperous healer.

  8. Actually, the first time we meddled led to the second world war, which has led to us running an empire without calling it an empire. We lost our way.

  9. Zinn merely replaced one form of propaganda for another. Many that we hold up as American heroes, like Lincoln or either of the Roosevelts, set very bad precedents for the centralization and abuse of power by the federal government. The South would've come around on the slavery issue without a bloody civil war and carpetbagger profiteers from the North sweeping through the South afterward. Our history isn't perfect. Our government schools retconned a lot of mistakes of our past. Zinn retconned the principles of liberty and natural rights of Man that make America an imperfect but REAL hope for the future of the USA and the world. There's a more nuanced reading of history that few receive. In essence, when we depart from the principles laid down in the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, we become more and more like what our nation was created to avoid. This doesn't justify slavery, but those principles made slavery impossible to sustain, even though it had existed, uninterrupted for millennia before our nation's founding. Yes, the bathwater got dirty washing the baby. Zinn threw out the baby with the bathwater. But I'd be careful about saying "Zinn was wrong. America is perfect." Zinn was a hack, BUT there are kernels of truth sprinkled throughout his book. America isn't perfect BUT America is pretty wonderful!

  10. That's too bad. Seems like all the best people left the field of medicine.

  11. This is not the unique domain of the left. MANY famous statesman, most notably Benjamin Franklin, got famous and changed the world by neglecting their families. It's hard to be a renaissance man, enable the birth of a nation, and get your picture on money by spending a lot of time with your son. Jordan Peterson enjoins us to clean our rooms before changing the world. I think that's wise. What YOU'RE talking about, though, are ignorant, mean-spirited people who absolutely do NOT have their shit together, telling everybody else what to do.

  12. Apparently, it IS! Public schools are indoctrination centers, training activists.

  15.  @CatsInHats-S.CrouchingTiger  You gave over the authority and responsibility for the most important service to government bureaucrats. There will always be staffing shortages, pressure to certify incompetents as competent, funding shortfalls, flight of talent, etc. Health care is a product and a service. It should be treated as such. As such, the government needs to butt out and make the health care providers answerable to their customers, not the government or Big Pharma.

  16.  @JonGreen91  What do you think of the term "grifter?"

  17.  Kuwabatake Sanjurō  : The language has been so abused, even "classical liberal." I'm kind of an anti-globalist, myself. I don't want to see EU make a super-power. I want to see some of the bigger countries broken up, so no one country can get up to too much mischief that us regular folk die for and then have to clean up and rebuild, after. Buncha narcissists with too much power, who can cause millions to die, just because the one guy had a bout of irregularity the one day and missed the memo.

  18.  Kuwabatake Sanjurō  : Last time I saw Lock or Hobbes brought up, it was me, attending a "White Privilege Training" at work. I was not well-received, but I wasn't going to let them divide us, just because some fool had a notion that this was legitimate training. Buncha rebels without a cause.

  19. Prager's a very nice Zionist.

  20.  @amibrainwashed  You can't construct an experiment to disconfirm "internalized racism." Their claims can not be tested in any meaningful way. All they need is a few colleagues on review boards to say "You're right!" and it becomes canon in the literature.

  21.  @MrDenosaur  I'm so good looking I stopped looking in the mirror 40 years ago! I cling to the full-head-of-hair version of myself in my mind's eye without ruining it with my eye eyes.

  22. "Censorship, demonization, and denial of facts" pretty much sums up the full-court press against the public by the Branch Covidians in government and health care, but I repeat myself.

  23.  @Creaserunner  Government-run health care, education, and control of media. This is the tripod on which fascism rests. When the government controls that, it controls pretty much everything and anything it wishes, and boy does government have a long wish list! We have a thin layer of private insurance for the suckers who work and pay their own way, but a vast customer base of government-paid services that totally dominate the health care system.

  24. It was hotter in NYC in the late 30s and early 40s than it is, now. People slept in the parks, on fire escapes, left their windows open, and everybody was poor. Crime didn't go up. Society was more moral then than now. Times were much tougher for everybody.

  27. Never forget that the big-city police did the dirty work for thieves and scoundrels in the federal government. Been robbed? Get in line. Want to do business? Call in SWAT. You can tell whose side they're on when the Minneapolis police stood down against rioters and looters a mile or two away, but were firing paint-ball rounds at citizens sitting peacefully on their own front porches.

  32. They're doing exactly what they've been trained to do! This is what all their "liberal arts" professors and all the administrators insist they MUST do: be activist! Doesn't matter what the issue is. Get out there! Know what side you're on (the commie side, because capitalism is evil).

  35. In an ironic way, CRT is actually helping race relations, as black and white people BOTH realize how toxic CRT is and see each other speaking against it! It's not black versus white. It's race baiters and race grifters seeking to set us against each other, and it's drawing good people of all races closer together, united against this toxic, communist-inspired cult.

  36.  @nothanks3236  Yes. The 2016 election exposed a lot of ignorant Democrats in my world. You can't talk to them. You can't debate them. They just won't hear anything that's not canon in their religion.

  37. Some are calling it "access media." Media who shill for one side or the other in return for insider access. I personally don't mind if a network or newspaper is biased. And I can figure out what their bias is, right quick. But most people just listen/watch/read one or two main sources and think they're getting the whole story, but they aren't. The 1st Amendment is ALL about having an axe to grind and the right to grind that axe. I'm totally OK with the legacy networks coming out of the closet and admitting they're partisan. That's the way the Framers of the U.S. Constitution intended it. They didn't ever believe in "objective news." That's just a myth that got foisted on us when the "new technology" of radio and the the "new technology" of television were invented, people recognized their power to influence, and NObody IMAGINED there could be more than 3 or 4 channels! Now we have MILLIONS of channels, all competing for market share, and almost all of them with biases. 150 years ago, people understood they were getting the opinions of the owner of the local paper. Now, people believe - MISTAKENLY - that the news THEY are getting is the unvarnished truth. Well, until a few years ago, that's what people thought. Now, people know they need to shop around and hear all sides of an argument. In the long term, it's healthier for us. In the short term, we have millions of people captured by ideologues.

  39. Self-improvement is so unsatisfying, because it's the accumulation of small gains, small improvements. People want the quick fix, and there aren't any quick fixes. You'll never be perfect. You just have to get addicted to being a little bit better, tomorrow, than you are, today. Lots of people are that way. Lots of people, unfortunately, are not. You have to stick with it for a long time, before you can look back and see how much you've changed after 6 months or a year of (usually lonely) grinding away at it. Once you get hooked on being your better self, it becomes the way you're wired, and life gets better. Trouble is, it'll never be perfect, and everyone expects instant perfection, or they're looking for somebody to blame.

  40. Shapiro's a little young and a little too tribal. He treads close to a Judaic form of Taqiyya, the latter of which I'm sure he excoriates in his critiques of radical Islam. There's a sense of right and wrong in Ben that I think can lead him to some authoritarian dead-ends. Antifa make similar mistakes. They can see where they can win the day, with sufficient numbers and enough attitude, and they get caught on video "winning." That's not winning. That's setting 2/3 of the country against you. You don't want to win by doing wrong, because the wrong will drag you down. So there you are. You've followed Ben's formula for success and you wrote a bunch of research papers full of Marxist-Leninist dogma, just to get a grade from a lunatic-left professor, and now you're running for office or you're in court for fraud, and those old term papers come up. "So, did you actually believe that stuff, back then or were you lying?" Do you lie and say you believed that nonsense, back then, but learned better, since? Or do you tell the truth and admit you were just shinin' a stupid professor? If you're honest, then they'll hit you with the old "So were you lying then or are you lying now?" or "If you lied then, for personal gain, why wouldn't you lie, now, for personal gain?" Nah. Best to sleep at night, even if it costs you the "win," today.

  43. You guys gotta give up on your Zionist Project. Israel disappears without huge inputs from the USA. Everything it does for its survival just makes its neighbors more and more angry. It can't help itself. Its neighbors can't help themselves. They're stuck in a cycle of pain that was created and is kept alive by billions in aid, year on year.

  44. America took a bite of socialism during the 1930s and it swallowed that bite in the 1960s. It's been a slow, downhill slide ever since, with government getting bigger and the people getting smaller, every year.

  45.  @Melior_Traiano  I stand corrected. But WW I was the real biggie. Yes, our leaders have been imperialistic every chance they got. It's a disease of leadership. Don't forget Commodore Perry sailing into Tokyo Harbor in the 1830s (I believe).

  46.  @Melior_Traiano  WWI was where we became players in earnest, contrary to all our principles of limited government and nonintervention in the affairs of other nations. World War I was a European thing and we should've stayed out. We used gunboat diplomacy on Japan in the 1830s. Have you heard of the Spanish-American War? Our leaders garnered much fame and accolades for being "strong," but WW I was a mistake for us. It brought about WW II. It would have been better for the Europeans to settle their own affairs, without us throwing our weight into it, and meddling around the world ever since. Wilson ran on not fighting in Europe, but then his government went and did it, anyway.

  47.  @Melior_Traiano  The French AND the British WANTED World War I. The French lusted after Alsace-Lorraine and the Saar Basin. A-L was taken by force of arms. The Saar VOTED to be part of Germany. I studied this in college, doing research for History of Modern Europe. You'd be amazed by the correspondence between French and British leaders before the war. Without U.S. involvement, there would've been no "unconditional surrender." Without unconditional surrender, the terms of the eventual peace would've been more equitable. To understand WW I, you have to go back to Franco-Prussian War of 1870, where France lost a lot of territory. From then until 1914, the French were scheming to get back those territories, and they eventually got their wish, with American help.

  52. Very smart man, even though he supports the apartheid ethno-state. We fought World War II against those who fervently believed that the end justifies the means, who wanted an ethno-state, and now he's telling us that the end justifies the means.

  53. Being easily offended gives others too much power over your state of mind. I would never give somebody that kind of power over me. Weaponizing your "I'm offended" is another matter, entirely.
