  4. "You're 6 years old. You're going to bed. I know you want to stay up." "You're 6 years old. Of course I respect your pronouns."

  7.  @Max_Ohm  Yes, we voted ourselves into this, by electing politicians who promised us free stuff and defeated politicians who said "Your big program won't work and we can't afford it, anyway." Those politicians who told the truth were evicted from government by us.

  15. "(E)xpose you as an idiot?!" How about "... expose you as a malignant narcissist?" They're not idiots. They're power hungry.

  16. Acquaint yourself with as many facts as you reasonably can, and don't back down when they try to steamroll you. Don't lower yourself to their level, when they get hysterical. But don't allow yourself to be bullied, either. Christians were rare and very much abused in 1st-3rd-Centuries. They offered no violence and died, bravely with God's name on their lips in the Coliseum and other arenas. The Roman people saw that and were IMPRESSED by that. Their PERSECUTION was what won the hearts and minds of the Romans, until the Edict of Milan (313 A.D.), when Constantine decriminalized Christianity, and Christianity eventually became the official religion! Of course, they warped and twisted it to serve the goals of the elites at the time, but it's STILL an object lesson in how to win hearts and minds. The more obvious it becomes which side is actually fascist, because "our side" continues to fight with ideas (and humor!), while the other side uses bullying tactics and censorship to silence dissent, the more people we win to "our side." We'll never win an argument with a religion whose claims are unfalsifiable and even superficially true. But their own members will see how abusive and deranged "their side" is, and #walkaway. Sometimes it's when the mob turns on THEM. Sometimes it's when the mob turns on somebody that did nothing wrong. But they red-pill THEMSELVES when they've seen and heard enough bullshit. I hope and pray we don't have to be fed to lions in the Coliseum before the other side starts to change its mind. But people are getting martyred on a daily basis by having their lives destroyed by lies, smears, and violent threats. It's more way-of-life threatening, today, than it is actually life-threatening (although this too will come, if things continue on the current path). But Antifa's doing its level best to create martyrs like Andy Ngo and the little old lady crossing the street. They're not dead, but the harm done is plain for all to see.

  18. It's an ironic return to God's Word, only it's Government's Word or Media's Word that they take on faith, a return to a doctrine of Original Sin, and HERESY POLICE whom George Orwell called "thought police." Then they take it a step farther, and act like pretentious Puritans, who think THEY'RE smarter than everybody else because THEY memorized the Holy Bible, and have an answer for everything, even when the answers don't make sense, because to THEM, that book is the Revealed Word of God. Revealed Truth. And any who disagree must be of Satan.

  19. I TRY to hear the opposing view, but when they're blatant idiots and demagogues, I can't last 5 minutes. I'm pretty confident I can refute their bullshit as needed, without inflicting it on myself on a regular basis.

  20.  @lightningwight4154  Social justice isn't the problem. Its definition and the means employed to achieve said definition are the problem. Be careful not to become them in your fight to extirpate them. Many ideas that are good emanate from "progressives." Permaculture. Sustainability. Local control. Locally-grown food. Where they go wrong is when they fail to get EVERYone to live just like they (delusionally pretend they) do, they feel justified in the use of any and every force they can muster. They don't want The Machine to go away. They want it to do their bidding. As to your "hierarchy" comment, that sounds pretty top-down. Hierarchies arise inevitably, because they're necessary to get anything done, but they are also fraught with peril. The rot always starts at the head, at the TOP of the hierarchy, and BECAUSE it's a hierarchy, that rot quickly sets in clear down to the roots. This is where both progressives and hierarchy lovers go wrong. "We could do more if we had more money/power/authority." Somebody always has to MAKE these hierarchies stop when they're on that path, because they won't stop themselves. Life is good and we all want more of it. Hierarchies take on a life of their own and THEY always want more. There isn't a single bureaucrat in any organization who thinks his offices receive too much funding or have too much authority.

  21. I disagree. Humanities departments are politicizing ALL departments, mainly because STEM and other disciplines are too busy doing their thing to engage in the same kind of political nonsense on campus. And even in STEM, most professors are pretty progressive, except in the applied math, where your work actually has to stand up in the real world.

  22. They don't understand their own arguments, because they have no grasp of the counter-arguments.

  23. I visited in the late '70s, and even then it was a short walk to squalor, addicts, and violence. In '79, I remember talking to the Hilton door man and marveling at the 6-foot Amazon walking by. "That ain't no woman," he said.

  28. Yes. What's funny is the guys who make the wild accusations are committing the exact thing they accuse others of doing. "Miscaptioned" is the term for when they use stock photos to illustrate their point, whether the photo has anything to do with the issue at hand or not. But when it's #walkaway, then instantly accuse of misleading and misrepresenting the (non)movement, with fake photos. It's very transparent, if you do any of your own fact checking. But a lot of lazy people who think they're very smart check 1 page of Google search results and Snopes, and pat themselves on the back for their due diligence. "Smart" people read the New York Times, which is to say, they're not really very smart. NYT has gone from left-wing paper of record to left-wing tabloid.

  29. The only way to restore sanity might be to have Republican women by the hundreds coming out with THEIR #metoo claims against all the top Democrats. THEN we'd start hearing the mealy-mouthed bastards crying about "due process" and "innocent until proven guilty." Until the Right lowers itself to their level, this won't change. But Republicans end up winning, because the patent unfairness and illogic of the Left is going to cost them the next 2 or 3 (or 4) elections. They'll grow a brain or they'll lose. There's JUST enough freedom in media to show everybody how full of shit the Left is, in the current era. They lose by winning.

  30.  @patrickreville4978  I don't mind a roads tax if it goes to the roads and is well-spent. I think that the property tax is a major funder of the failed public schools. We could do better (and cheaper) for ourselves, if it weren't for that tax-subsidized monopoly that the government has on education. There's still a place for public education of the indigent, but the vast majority of people should buy their kids' education the same way they buy them food, clothing and shelter. At the very least, there should be an open competition for the money spent, per pupil, by the current system. I bet kids would learn a lot more and for the amount spent on the public schools, already, there would be a lot of profit for a well-run school with high standards.

  32.  @GiganticWeen  When you look at the progressive platform and read between the lines, it all adds up to serfdom. "We will provide your needs. You will obey us without question." That's dragging us back to medieval times, and we all know what the lords and ladies meant by "We'll take care of you." It meant "We will live in castles and you will own nothing and be happy. Or else. But we prefer if you think all this was YOUR idea."

  33.  @omgnumbers9944  His views have evolved over time. He's not as economically illiterate as he was 4 years ago, but he still believes a lot of fallacies about the proper role and scope of federal government. He still gives lip service to the establishment to protect his YouTube cash cow. The thing that bugs me the most is his faux outrage, calling others cowards, when he, himself, is a profit-driven coward. If he weren't, he would've been banned from YouTube a long time ago. He talks about spearheading a new citizen-journalist network but every nickel he makes goes in his pocket.

  40.  @Edaloy27  Tim Pool always throws a bone to Trump-Derangement-Syndrome sufferers, to keep the YouTube money rolling in. He still says "If only Trump didn't tweet," when I was always "I loved that tweet, and look at how it's triggering the smooth brains!" But because the opposing side was so INSANE, his tweets were considered "divisive" and "hateful." To me, it was the one guy confronting insane leftists and "divisive" only because he challenged one-party rule.

  41.  @btfrost  : Oh bullshit. The one thing we MUST collectivize is the military and it's shot through with corruption and incompetence. You're the one clinging to the fallacy that collectivism really works well, but it just hasn't been properly implemented. Fucking closet aristocrat, from your assumption that you're smarter than everybody else, to your conclusion that collectivism would work if superior people like YOU were running everything. You ignore these very common examples of how the PROMISE never matches the PERFORMANCE. Promise free health care to everyone. Remove free-market MORALITY, which is purely transactional - Why does the shop owner treat people right? Because he dies if he gets no return customers. You try to sound smarter than everybody else, but your economics suck.

  42. Same deal with doctors, only worse, dating back to the 1970s. Free medical for everyone! Then they run out of money, and stop paying doctors. In the '70s, you couldn't find a male doctor. Nurses would kind of become pseudo-doctors, because what the Soviets PAID doctors wasn't worth giving up 8 years of your life for the training. When asked, doctors in Soviet Russia stated they would prefer to be farmers, because the state took good care of farmers (at the expense of, for instance, doctors and engineers), because of their ideology which basically put the government in the position of just deciding who does what and what they'll be paid. Even in homogeneous societies (which ours isn't), socialized medicine runs up against limited resources, and government is a TERRIBLE manager. You're guaranteed your health care, but they decide if you're worth curing, and even if you are worth curing, you're going to have to wait in line.

  46. I know a number of lefties who LOVE Snopes, because they win so many arguments by appealing to the authority of Snopes. I always thought it was kind of fishy. And I know you can come out .5 truth value (mixed) for misleading or outright false claims, by looking for a tiniest particle of fact. And come out with mixed/false on an essentially true claim, by looking for the tiniest flag. IDGAF how FB runs their algorithm. I know I'll never be a customer, again, and how they disserve their customers is between them and their dumb-ass customers.

  56.  @Marcara081  Actually, we've made great strides in evolutionary psychology in recent years. Unfortunately, most of the research is hostile to SJW narratives and progressive ideology. But there IS some good science, and a solid body of literature that's been built. That's why Jordan Peterson is an important voice, right now. Same for Thomas Sowell, Jonathan Haidt, Peter Bogossian, Gad Saad, and a bunch of other SCIENTISTS who made themselves celebrities by the mere act of behaving like ethical scientists.

  58.  @redpillsatori3020  "Right" means nothing, these days. The "left" should be against the unending growth and authority of central government. The modern "left" is just slapping lipstick on feudalism and calling it "progress." That fits the description of radical reactionary right in my book. But the language has been bastardized beyond all recognition.

  61.  Ashwin Varghese  Sometimes the so-called right DOES defend fascist/socialist features of society, because they oppose what the so-called "left" want to do. The ultimate irony was so-called conservatives demanding the public schools be reopened! LOL! Universal health care is socialist/collectivist. By the modern vernacular, that is "left." What the right doesn't get is that the government ALREADY runs health care, in collusion with Big Pharma and Corporate Health. Before FDR instituted wage freezes during the Great Depression, like the fascist/socialist he was, there was no such thing as health insurance. Health insurance was a benefit big corporations could offer to workers as an end run around wage freezes that small businesses couldn't match. You insure a car. You don't insure health. Before that tectonic shift,, communities did the best they could to provide health care for all members. If we hadn't gone fascist, most communities would be serving ALL members better than we do, today. The COMMUNITY would hold a barn dance or a raffle or some other fund raiser to get more hospital beds, better doctors, or their first (or a better) x-ray machine. Doctors did their best to serve ALL. Prosperous people in the community made conspicuous donations to the local hospital and communities took PRIDE in doing a better job than the community down the road. It was a point of LOCAL, COMMUNITY PRIDE. When you federalize ANYthing, all local authority and responsibility for caring for your neighbor goes out the window. Now you just complain that the fascist/socialist system now in place is failing, and LIKE AN IDIOT, you BLAME it on "runaway capitalism," which generates the wealth that the so-called left always wants to redistribute by force. Yes, the Kibbutz and socialized medicine in Israel are LEFT. It's not perfect, but it works best when you have a small, homogeneous nation. That shit doesn't work on USA scale. We're too diverse culturally and geographically for one-size-fits-all solutions handed down by edict from the ruling class elites in the Washington, D.C. beltway. You want better results? SEIZE CONTROL LOCALLY and ban the feds and the insurance companies!

  77.  @giovalladares1022  He's an antidote to the one-sided media pushing insanity. It's his role. He gives some balance in a media landscape that is 24/7 ANTI-Trump and ANTI-liberty. He calls out the kooks on the right, but they really don't have much weight, power or authority in society at present. The POWER is the left-establishment, where there is zero balance masquerading as "giving both sides." If it were conservatives saying you have to go to church and being gay should be outlawed AND they owned the media AND the government bureaucracy, THEN you'd have a case. There's nothing like that going on. The nutcases on the RIGHT (so-called) get called out by the middle, right AND left. The nutcases on the LEFT are dictating POLICY in increasingly authoritarian ways.

Deep State defines "national secret" as anything that might embarrass them. The list goes on and on. Word games to further an agenda by any means necessary. It's because they're better and smarter than everybody else, so we must be TRICKED or COERCED into doing "the right thing" as they see it from their ivory tower.

  98. By saying that downplaying the political was a move to help Donald Trump win, Emma is basically saying that FaceBook is mostly liberals, nowadays. I know I gave up Facebook during Trump I, because it was impossible to have a fair and honest conversation about anything, because of all the outrageous claims I made, like "Voter ID isn't racist" and "Our COVID policy is insane and immoral." Remember, back in the days when the Great Barrington Declaration got buried? You remember. Those are the days that Democrats want everyone to forget, but only die-hard Democrats have that kind of selective memory.

  102. It also puts them on the wrong side of history. What succeeds is what is sensible. And eventually, countries falling under their sway will become more and more non-competitive. 3rd-wave feminists are breeding themselves out of existence. MGTOW (the reaction) is also not producing families. So people who think in those ways are going to be less and less present in the society of the future. That's why Christianity prospered for so long (among other reasons). The Church (Mosque, Synagogue) wants you to make lots of babies because that's God's Will and God's Plan. But to an outsider looking in, human interpretation of what THEY think God's Will is, serves to grow and expand the Church (Synagogue, Mosque) and the power that institution has on the worldly plane. Plenty of religions don't push those values. They may be better religions, but the politically savvy hierarchical churches (mosques and synagogues) out-compete those belief systems, and so we see what we see, today. Darwin applies to religious institutions. One of the big innovations in Christianity was changing their Torah-based doctrine to allow the eating of pork and shellfish, to grow their Church. They could convert a lot more gentiles if there was suckling pig at the Church Potluck!

Even if they're - maybe especially if they're - up-and-coming young men, working their way toward something, she's just the broad they hooked up with along the way, and not the best they can do. If they're her age, and all they've got goin' for 'em is they're hot, I doubt they're ready to settle down into a real family situation. The losers just aren't ready, and the winners don't want to take the time. The (eventual) winners are still working on themselves, and squeezing every ounce of fun out of their free time. She's way advanced for her age group in a lot of ways. She just needs to find the right guy a few years older than her. Not much, necessarily, but I don't think most guys her age are at her level.

  109. I think I'd die a little, inside, if my son came to me at 13 and said that. Speaking as a responsible adult, I think I'd warn him about promiscuity and STDs. I'd recommend he wait to act on his feelings for boys OR girls, until he was old enough to accept the consequences. I don't know how far into the weeds I'd go. Basically "Don't do it, but if you DO, be faithful to your partner and PICK a faithful partner. Someone as inexperienced as you, i.e., another virgin. The more worldly and experienced they are, the more likely they're carrying an STD. I want you to be safe."

  110.  @dimo4499  I'm not sure what I'd've done in your situation. Probably the same if I knew your child as well as you do. But I can see where it's appropriate to refuse to participate in their fantasies. "I can fly, Mom! I have the same pure heart as Captain Fantabulous! I KNOW I do!" "Of COURSE you do, dear. I think you should go up on the roof and practice! You can use the ladder next to the house, unless you just want to just fly up there. Let's make you a cape!" Rummages in the towel drawer and grabs a safety pin. "Here. Hold still." Pins towel around boy's neck. "How's it look, sweetheart? Where will you fly to, first?"

  115. This is one of the great ironies of America in the 20th (and now 21st) Century. The very same "anti-fascist" thinking justified our turning to very authoritarian, fascist-looking policies to FIGHT fascism in its NAZI form. For top-down economy - for the war effort, of course - they came up with this big Leontief input-output matrix for war-time production. It was all very top-down and very satisfying to people whom Adam Smith would call "System Men." It's also very satisfying to war planners who want X number of tanks and Y number of planes. It's also just complicated enough for them to feel smart that they understand it, even though they're WAY oversimplifying reality to a 10x10 or 100x100 matrix, when in reality, the entirety of the economy is essentially an infinite-dimensional beast, by the time you get anywhere close to the individual-exchange level, especially if you're trying to make it run for any period of time, with many factors varying over time, such as the wheat yields, cost of transportation, condition of roads and the markets. And other products that people also need that may cut into the price of bread, e.g. To this day, so-called "liberals" see the economy in much the same way, and they want to be the people deciding what the inputs need to be for the desired outputs. They THINK they're being compassionate and fair, but they reduce reality to a vastly oversimplified, mechanistic view of society. That may be useful for making predictions in the large, but it's far too complicated in REALITY for any person or agency to fully encompass. Adam Smith knew this in the mid-18th century! He talked about the "invisible hand" that guides people to behave morally in order to enjoy the benefits of the efforts of others. The idea is you don't MAKE them make 100 loaves of bread for 100 people, but if there are 100 people with something of value to offer for bread who were at the market yesterday, the baker will make sure there are at LEAST 100 loaves of bread for sale in the market, tomorrow, in order to receive that value from the expected 100 people. Nobody TELLS her to make 100 loaves of bread to fulfill the expected "need." She wants those schillings! And SHE will make it HER business to bake enough bread to get as many schillings as possible, without making much MORE than that, because that's wasteful and costs HER money. What we get is a market that miraculously (the invisible hand) that produces just enough bread and not too much, with far greater accuracy and efficiency than ANY government agency could do. They'd waste a lot one day, and not make enough the next, and, because nobody really pays the cost of waste other than some taxpayer nobody really sees during the decision-making, nobody (except the taxpayer) is punished for their inefficiency. Furthermore, if they believe that what they are doing is "right," then the individuals who are damaged by their control of everything are just "collateral damage" that is part of the cost of providing more justice to more people. The sad thing, to me, about the state of liberal thought, today, is that these principles have been well-understood for 300 years (give or take), but our education system does everything it can to paint freedom and free trade between free people as a bad thing. In actuality, it's what brought us up to the level of economic prosperity and free thought to 1. end slavery 2. end discrimination on the basis of gender, race or sexual orientation (Except for pedophiles. Acting on their preferences is and shall always be criminal.) 3. create an industrial and technological revolution that brought more people up from abject poverty than ever before and in an amazingly short time. But liberals don't understand this. They think government led the way. But true conservatives' (classical liberals') take on the march of human progress sees the direct connection between people finally being free to make their own choices and own their OWN property, in a world where ALL such things were dictated from on high for centuries. The so-called "right" sees betterment of society trickling UP from the people at the BOTTOM. Give us freedom to make our own decisions, and more of us will improve our circumstances. And when it's just us schmucks at the bottom the only way to climb the rungs of Maslow's ladder is by being TRUSTWORTHY and providing REAL VALUE to our equals in a free market. It's not a perfect system, but it's more fair to more people than any other system yet devised. And liberals (so-called) are taught to despise this engine of prosperity and social evolution.

  118. Left, right and center ALL despise the neocolonial regime-change foreign policy, and yet our establishment INSISTS on it and our Congress, which supposedly represents US, goes along, every time. We have a REAL NATIONAL CONSENSUS on regime-change foreign policy, and yet the establishment elites keep on with their neocon/neolib policies over the protests and CLEAR sentiments of the people. It's the same with the critical race theory and (basically) child groomers in education. NONE of the parents want that shit. But they do it, anyway, and nobody's stopping them.

  119. He visited Russia and was given a tour of a couple Potemkin Villages by apparatchiki. Then they showed him a subway station. Thing is, the commies/socialists can clean up any ONE corner of their domains, to make themselves look good. It's no different than the drastic cleanup of the area surrounding the Dem debates in Los Angeles. They CAN clean up a corner of it, to save themselves embarrassment, but everybody knows that 2 blocks away, it was all shit-hole.

  123. That's just it. We CAN'T keep bailing them out. They need to run their social(ist) experiments on their own dime. They could've kept spending other people's money for years, but when Trump and a Republican Congress set a $10,000 limit on the federal deduction for state and local taxes, the rich started fleeing blue cities and blue states, who had it really good for a long time, spending anything they wanted on fripperies and social programs, because the rich people who paid all the state and local taxes could write them off on their federal taxes. Now these blue states and cities are paying the ACTUAL cost of their programs, and budgets are tight. You know the first thing they cut? Police and then fire. Just like our federal government, they spend money on everything except the most basic things for which their offices originally existed.

  132. Not interested in splitting hairs. I see idiots acting unruly and threatening people in both cases, and, there being no police presence, got dealt with by regular citizens on the train. When you start $hit, you don't get to choose how it gets finished. One person's idle threat is another person's fear for life or the life of others. With a knife out the chest of the dead man, there's gonna be an arrest. But in the case of Jordan Neely, you had a whole train car defending itself against a crazy man, and everyone was kind of surprised when Neely expired from being restrained.
