They caused this. Had they not gone after him like they did, this wouldn't have happened. His escape from death, I think, cemented his resolve more than anything else. He believes God saved him to do this, and he's not going to let them stop him.

17:10 Why isn't it "common" anymore? Because ya'll decided to abandon it. Far too many powerful countries within the EU decided to abandon free speech and free expression to give the appearance of order. It's not true order as your citizens are attacked from within. You'd rather crush your own citizens than admit that magical soil isn't true. Violating the entire point of the existence of the government you hold so dear. The government exists to protect its citizens from outside forces. There's little difference between what you're doing and France during WWII, welcoming Germany in instead of protecting their people from an invading force.

This is a weird new age argument I’ve seen about the horrors Germany committed. Their souls wanted to go, they knew they had no future, etc. Meanwhile these same people will mock religion while creating a new one.

Yes. Right now, it's more focusing on getting everything in order and the audit done. The administration isn't even confirmed and in place yet. Once that's accomplished, I expect bills to start hitting the Congressional floor.

Yep. We've won this major battle, but the war rages on.

@angelaharris53 I had a female friend boohooing in a bathroom while we were shopping for a dress for a funeral. An ex-boyfriend had died. She hadn’t gone out with him in years and she was acting like her husband had died. I’d finally had enough and told her to stop it. It’s not about her. His family were hurting far more than her and get it together. Basically calling her a drama queen trying to take attention from people far closer to him than she was. She immediately stopped and actually thanked me. Sometimes you just have to give them a reality check and swift kick in the bum. Edit: I’d had a guy I was dating die in a car accident and I was supposed to be with him and I didn’t act like that. To give an idea of the histrionics she was doing.

These are the same people that say “You value your property more than the life of the person taking it” instead of “The person taking my stuff values my property more than their life”. It twists responsibility onto the victim instead of the person victimizing.

@sedoskovelha123 I see this online but not much irl. Both my sons and their friends don’t do that. They highly value family. I’m Gen X and raised them to think for themselves. To reject peer pressure and be who and what they wanted regardless of the world around them. I did strictly limit their screen time and encouraged socializing face to face by having their friends over constantly. Our house was always full on the weekends. I know their friends except one was raised similarly. So I reject this characterization of them. I think because we’re feed a loop of the others because it gets attention we’ve been conditioned to view them as the norm when I don’t believe it is. I do believe they’re lost. That they don’t know what they’re supposed to do, but I don’t believe they want it.

@BLRodgers This! I heard Millennials described as the 2nd family of Gen X parents. They’d felt they screwed up with Gen X by never paying us attention and went ultra hard the other way after their divorces and remarriages. That they had to make up for us. We were pretty much a feral generation and it’s really odd to see such a sharp turn in parenting with the following one. You’d see a slight shift starting mainly in the upper class that eventually trickled down, but never such an almost universal sharp turn. I do know a study about self esteem came out that turned things education wise drastically. As usual they failed to understand the findings. It said early success showed improved self esteem and high self esteem meant later success in life. That’s where everyone gets a trophy comes from. They thought they could artificially create self esteem. The education thing comes from the Department of Education becoming way more hands on in state education. Edit: I was one of the hardcore in Gen X. Partied like crazy in my teens, listened to punk and heavy metal, rejected conformity. Later studies showed we ended up the most well adjusted.

@voomvoom4522 Women evolving to be best suited for child rearing and men forming culture around the protection of women being the ones that can give birth and necessary for survival isn’t genetics influencing culture? I understand the knee jerk reaction but it destroys science out of this desire to be PC. How other people choose to twist knowledge doesn’t make having the knowledge bad.
11
I’m Gen X. Even though I listened to heavy metal and mocked the protesters at the concerts I did not go down your path. My parents were conservative but not the crazy restrictive type. They allowed us to dress funny and make our own friends. We also were poor so we all worked as soon as we were allowed by law to buy things we wanted. Needs were met but wants were our own to provide. So we were all very responsible. I didn’t get married until 25, but that was 3rd engagement so it wasn’t a lack of offers. We immediately had 2 kids pretty much back to back and I was a stay at home mom which is what I wanted. I wanted to be there for my kids and do the things my mother couldn’t because she worked. I know she hated it too.
11
Again these people don’t take what they’re proposing to it’s logical conclusion. That’s the problem with these philosophers. They seem to think philosophy means throwing logic out the window.

Oh that’s another insufferable one. Especially when those “adults” act like overgrown children. A slave to their emotions.

Hopefully, the current revolution that's going on here in the US will inspire others like our first one did. It can be done. It's not instant and takes years of small movements coming together to create a big one, but it can happen. Eventually they'll go too far and the tide will turn.

 @huevote9474 I mean, they kicked Biden and slid Kamala right in. Like a well oiled machine. If they want that, fine. That's their choice. We just have to hope most don't feel the same.

@grafvonscyth2928 That's not what happened during the winter. The animals still needed care. In fact, much greater care, so they weren't lost to the winter, and then no new births for spring. Including guarded because preditors were very hungry as food was scarce. Every farm had some animals. Inside, clothing is being made and mended. Blankets crafted so the family doesn't freeze to death. I don't understand why people think winter was leisure time. It was just a different type of work being done. Vikings, for example, would join the women in making sails and ships would be fixed or made. Preparing for the spring when they'd set sail again. I come from many generations of farmers. It's not what you and others try to romanticize it to be. You have maybe 2 months when something isn't being done to the fields. That's occupied by feeding the animals with the hay you've stored and keeping them alive, stretching the food you preserved, drying seeds to plant in the spring, and fixing anything that broke or tore. There are still people that live just like back then and not just the Amish. Winter was just as busy as any other time of year. Just not outside as much.

He makes note that humans are considered the weakest race and easiest to corrupt. It was never grey morality. It was just humans are easily lead by their emotions which is what makes them so easy to corrupt. All of those were simple emotions, not a morality issue. Denethor was corrupted.

@Friggsdottir They we’re led to believe absurdities. I guess we should ignore history to protect you from offense. I notice you didn’t attempt to defend the other atrocities committed by other groups. Why is that? Every single group listed loved their country so that’s completely irrelevant to the actions committed as a result.

@newdivide9882 This is where men not understanding women comes into play. Women are naturally unconfrontational. We don't like to be attacked and will do almost anything to avoid it. It makes sense from a survival standpoint. We're smaller and weaker so not being confrontational, we survive. Which is also roundabout what Carl is saying. Attacking us isn't going to change anything. We'll simply retreat to where we're not being threatened. I have come under attack on social media by other women multiple times. We DO understand other women and know that most can't stand against it. I can, but I'm a tomboy so naturally have a few masculine traits. Most women can't and will revert to getting in line to get along. Edit: It's why socially women have been who keeps other women in check. It wasn't men doing the shaming.
7
It’s horrible. Even when it’s one you really didn’t want. I had 2 as a teenager. That I still remember them speaks volumes about it. Edit: The only good thing was because of them when I got pregnant after getting married (or the day before) it gave my doctor a heads up to watch for complications very early in the pregnancy. That helped save my 25 year old son. The issue was found early and precautions were taken to help prevent it.

Yes. They do. They see themselves as untouchable and divine. The disdain they have for regular people, especially the ones that dare not vote for them, is palpable.

Like it or not right wing men are going to have to figure out it takes other women to correct women. Our social groups are extremely important. Men can't fill that role. They can continue to attack right wing women and removing anyone that can cause other women to change and be aline and keep losing. Or they can stop and let the women do what we're supposed to and be the ones correcting and shaming other women. They want traditional roles while refusing to abide by them themselves. I see a bunch of whiny men in the comment section of this video. You don't deserve a lady like me. Make no mistake, I am a lady. I'm just as comfortable sitting around a bonfire as am all dressed up at an opera and I know what's expected of me in both places. I am a reflection of my husband and his ability to provide for me. I do a million little things everyday just to make his life a little bit easier. Every man I've ever known has told me "You're the kind of girl you marry. Not fool around with". At least 90% of you wouldn't even be worth my time because you could never provide me with what I'm worth. It's not money either or I would have never married my husband. It's a high level of kindness and respect that I deserve. We watch very closely how a man treats other women. So if you're running around being rude and mean to other women, you're never going to get one of us because eventually that'll be how you treat us. That's why traditionally men didn't police women.

@habibishapur What “truth”? Do you think nihilism is new? Please. It’s fine to understand your place in the universe and how small you truly are. It’s weak to stay in it instead of understanding that just makes the impact you have on the other small parts of the universe that much more important. Our impact is through those we encounter and that’s enough because it has meaning to them no matter how small.
5
We did it! And he's doing it!!

@racheljames7 My 25 and 24 year old sons are too. As are all their friends except 1. It’s why I don’t believe the hype. It’s obviously women are more susceptible to this and more and more of them are also rejecting it.

@deleted01 Then obviously they shouldn’t exist ever. Whoops! End of the species. Oh look! They DO have “value”.

@swaythegod5812 The same thing that makes me Native American. Are you daft? My bloodline makes me one. Do you not understand what indigenous means? Or do you think only darker skinned people are indigenous to a place in the world? Edit: It’s really confusing that you think it’s not okay for the tribes of a particular skin color to not recognize themselves as such while crying about the protection of mine.

@DevastationMtrsports Things are not real just because you believe they are. That means there’s no such thing as hallucinations (which we can scientifically prove happen) and schizophrenia isn’t a mental illness. I’m seriously curious if people like you ever think beyond the single thing they want to be true to see and understand the full implications of what you’re saying.
3
Thank you for calling it that! That’s what it’s always been called and now it appears to no longer be so.
3
There's confusion because Tolkien never specified how they came to be. The one in the Silmarillion is the 3rd book, which Tolkien didn't put together. He published the first 2. The last was compiled by his son of his writings after his death. There are 3 different ways Tolkien toyed with and they're all in books published after his death from his writings.
3
@tonycooke8545 No. Both are submissive to each other. Because it's the woman saying that, it's obviously bad. Submission in this context means putting the needs of someone else above your own desires. For example, I could go out and buy something really expensive I'd love to have, but that will put a burden upon my husband to then work harder to replace it if it's not something we've budgeted for. That works both ways. If the husband does the same, it puts a burden on the wife when buying food and purchasing essentials for the family.
3
It was never that. It’s equality under the law. That’s even expressly stated. Equality by the government. It’s pretty clear in the Constitution since the document is just about government. It’s why they slowly shifted to equity. Now you hear equity instead of equality. Equity is equal outcome. Equality isn’t.
3
I’m the opposite. I moved from a black majority town to Oklahoma and never felt so comfortable in my life. I’m Native and yt and now surrounded by both.
3
Yes. I’m one of them.

@totallynottitan126 As a nihilist from the 80s, it’s not new. Most people in my generation went through it. It’s why we partied so hard. We didn’t expect to live very long and had no expectations of having any impact on the world. What I took from it wasn’t to become psychopathic. Instead it was yes I’m tiny in the grand scheme of things. That means the only things I can have a lasting impact on are those around me. The other tiny, insignificant beings. So instead of becoming destructive I did the opposite and focused on how I treat those closest to me so that my impact is huge to them. When I’m gone, I will leave a huge mark for such a tiny insignificant part of the universe. That huge mark will be carried on by those close to me that saw the impact of what I did to those around me and chose to in some small way have a similar impact. It’s all about understanding what you can and can’t control and reconciling that.

@xX_Kino_Xx If just doing whatever I want to make me happy is the only moral, then absolutely nothing beyond that in your long winded attempt to justify your position matters nor does it belong in anything beyond yourself. You’re attempting to decide what makes others “happy” based on your own idea of it. You can’t even explain what happy is because it’s just an emotion. It’s not an achievable state of being because like all emotions it’s controllable and involves choices. Conscious choices. I’m not sure why people seem to believe suddenly that emotions are this uncontrollable force. They aren’t. Every single emotion is controllable with enough practice and effort. If all I’m supposed to do is make myself “happy” than what makes me happy could be something extremely destructive to everyone else and according to you, that’s perfectly fine and moral. Morals are ethics. They are a set of guidelines decided on and enforced by a society and culture. They are based on what is most beneficial to that culture and society. They have nothing to do with the individual’s desires and in fact often go against them for the betterment of society. Edit: Even before civilization existed we had societies. Small societies, but they still existed because we are social animals. Groups animals. Just like every animal we adopt what’s most beneficial to the species survival. That’s what morals are based on and why they change overtime. What’s beneficial to my survival based on my limited knowledge during prehistoric times is completely different than what’s most beneficial to our survival as a species today. If I steal from my neighbor, it’s very likely to shorten my life and harm society. Therefore it’s not a moral good. It’s really not that complicated. You’re personal anything has no bearing on what’s morally acceptable in a society.
2
It was seriously disgusting and a prime example of circular logic and thinking.
2
The problem is we’ve lost the understanding of what that means. It doesn’t mean we’re blank slats. It’s means we’re equal in the eyes of God and government. We’re seen equal in how laws will apply and what rights we’re endowed with. That’s it. They’re currently attempting to apply it to mean equal outcomes or equity which was never ever promised.
2
If you don’t serve in the armed forces should you be entitled to the benefits as if you did? This is what you’re saying. My dog who hasn’t been through years of training, doesn’t serve the public, and just hangs out should have the same benefit as one that is all those things.
2
It’s a small percentage which is hopeful. Online they quickly can appear much larger.

Because it's not for US aid. It's not "aid" really at all. That's just the acronym. The I stands for international.

I don't think he'd write himself a weakling that's easily killed by orcs. That's what they've done to him in this show.

Write your own world for yourself instead of messing with someone else's. That's not how Tolkien's world works.

People are misunderstanding what submission means. It's being said by Christian women. It's directly from the Bible. The Bible also says the man must submit to his wife. It's not a one-way street. It simply means putting others before yourself. Which if both spouses do that, it means you're both thinking about how everything impacts the other person instead of only thinking about yourself as a child does. I'm a "trad" wife. I'm a Christian woman who fulfills her Biblical role. The man is the head and the woman is the neck. She controls where the head faces. Yes a wife should do what she can to support her husband's career because when he is successful, the family benefits. That doesn't include doing his work for him because that's fraud and against the Bible. This doesn't work if both don't understand their roles and what's expected of them. This is why if you want to enter into a traditional Biblical marriage, you both need to know what that means. It seems like her husband had no idea she wanted that role or expected that from her marriage. That's why I always dated a minimum of 2 years before even considering marriage. Even so, I was engaged 3 times, asked 4 or 5, but only walked down the aisle once. Her saying she didn't understand he was abusive means she never had any other relationship in her life and I find that very hard to believe. My husband understood what I expected before we got married and agreed to provide. Me wanting that and having the qualities I do, is why he wanted me to be the mother of his children. Not because of what I financially brought or my looks. My morals.
2
Gen X but same. For example my husband’s grandmother was Roma aka gypsy. So I make sure my children know some the traditions and carry them forward. I’m Native American, English, and German. More importantly southern. So I also teach them those as well.
2
Equality was never in outcomes. It’s always been under the law. Equal under the law and/or government. It’s why now you hear equity instead of equality. They want to replace the under the law part and move it to outcomes. Unfortunately for them equality is what’s clearly stated in every law. Not equity.
2
@Charles.Wright Yes. When you no longer have something outside yourself to base your morals on they’re based on yourself alone. You’re now the god deciding for everyone else. I guess all those enlightened atheist claiming they don’t need religion to be moral have been proven wrong. If only they’d been warned.
2
They never were. We only are under the law. Everything else is up to us.

@randomhuman2595 Has absolutely nothing to do with Trump. He hasn't even made a budget yet that would require the money printer to go brrr. Just like the beyond stupid " the egg prices!" Yes. Because Biden's administration put down millions of chickens on their way out the door. They can't be replaced in a month. Chickens have to be hatched and grow to begin laying. Edit: The previous administrative was frantically doing last minute things and sending billions out the door to various favorable organizations to screw the incoming one as much as possible. I don't care if there's some pain for a bit. It HAS to get fixed or there will be nothing left to care about.

@DevastationMtrsports Things are not real just because someone believes they are. If that’s true then schizophrenia isn’t a mental disorder and there’s no such thing as hallucinations. You can not manifest reality. No, people on the internet are not real life. They can eventually move into real life, I should know I met my husband on it. If I tell you I’m a 20 year old male that doesn’t magically make it true or reality.
1
One tiny problem with your belief. You’re better off than Gen X was at your age. We did not have this massive prosperity. We created an entire new economy because the previous one had been given away to other countries. You’ve had one crash. We’ve been through 3. Who do you think was losing their homes in 2008? It wasn’t y’all. Most were still in school. It was us. You’re trying to say a bunch of 20 year olds owned their own home to lose? The youngest were 12 the oldest 22. THIS is why we don’t like you. You lay claim to what didn’t happen to you. I grew up with inflation and interest rates so high nobody could even buy a car and with oil shortages and you who grew up with unbelievable luxury want to claim it was like the Great Depression where people were dying of starvation. You hit a single bump and act like the world is burning. You’re freaking drama queens and weak and it’s annoying as hell. Edit: It’s also hilarious y’all think y’all figured out there was corruption. Look at the Church hearings, the IRS having to be slashed in the 80s because it was a freaking power hungry force, look at the PMRC, etc. Don’t put your nativity onto the rest of us.
1
I grew up in the 80s and early 90s. When everyone wanted to be like us. Even though it wasn't great economically, we refused to be down and instead had a blast. People couldn't wait to come here even just to visit to enjoy the excitement that was everywhere in the air. Just an enjoyment of life. I wish we could get that back. I want that for the future generations.
1
Then you need to find somewhere else to be or realize that you may never own a home in exchange for the other things you have. Not owning a home has never been something that prevented people from having families, and I don't understand why people are making it one now. In large cities, children were born to people who lived in apartments forever. This isn't new, and I don't understand why people are acting like it is. We didn't have our own home when we had our children, and our families didn't help us purchase one. Living in a city or living in a more rural area, it's understood you're giving up certain things in exchange for other things. You don't get to have everything because life is a compromise. Edit: Home ownership rates for young people have only decreased, like 1% from previous time periods. It's not what it's being made out to be. You've just been led to believe that it was different and easier for previous generations when that's simply not true. We're only slightly below the highest home ownership percentage in history.

Not just Europe. There's a guy in the US in federal prison right now for a meme in 2020. It said don't forget to vote for Biden! And gave the date as the day after the election. He didn't want a pardon because he wants to take it to the Supreme Court.

The thing is, Trump can win without PA. That's what I'm hoping. PA will just be the icing on the cake but we win without knowing it's results.

Oh no! YouTube errored my comment. Hmmm now for creative writing and coded bs because it was a really great comment. The reasons for the topic is the lack of things to prevent pregnancy and deal with one’s that are the result on people being victimized. The first reason was solved by technology decades ago with birth control. The second with other medication that prevent it implanting. Meaning the only current reason is medical emergencies. Since technology did what technology is supposed to do there is no longer any moral or ethical reason for it outside emergencies. Therefore it should no longer be a thing outside that very limited medical reason. Edit: Before somebody goes “it’s not 100%”. Nothing is. We don’t base anything on outliers. Seat belts don’t save you 100% and can very rarely cause death. So should we remove all requirements based on the very rare occurrence?

@kamaeq That is not what settled law means. It means there's a ruling by a high court already or several court cases that have the same ruling. The job of the judiciary is to interpret the law. Including the Constitution. Just because you disagree with their interpretation doesn't make it unconstitutional. Only a court decides that. Even settled law can be overturned, it just requires profound evidence that it was misinterpreted. Edit: Roe v Wade is a good example. It was considered "settled law" due to how long it had been around and how many challenges it had withstood. However, 99% of lawyers and judges knew it was based on an intentional misinterpretation of the law, but it required the highest court to deem that.

@MCC17011 Truth but the real problem with that group is they don’t believe in truth. They don’t believe in objective reality. Everything is a social construct. Meaning the science that they use to argue they don’t even believe. It’s just a useful tool.
1
They don't. They're currently pretty despised. Approval rating at a near historic low for Democrats. They're floundering around like fish out of water flopping on the ground. Their many "protests" have pathetic turnouts. The tide has turned against them, and I'm not sure they'll be able to recover this time. At least not anytime soon.

So the heroes don't all fall short? Aren't flawed? Pretty sure they all are.

It's a threat. A threat for what nobody knows, but that's what it is. He would not put US citizens in such a dangerous position.

So you want to what? Attempt to selectively target those that do? How? We can’t read their minds. We can’t even communicate with them. So we hope by the time we’re able to there’s a human left that can deal with them? Edit: What about the humans right to life? Screw that?

@methane1027 It's been far more concentrated throughout history. It has nothing to do with wealth. It has to do with reducing the requirements, in a way, to be considered an "expert." An expert used to be someone that studied something intently for decades. They did or didn't go to school, they wrote many books and papers on the subject that increased understanding of the subject, they contributed to the scientific advancement of the subject, etc. We've decreased the standards to get into higher education, decreased the standards to move past a basic degree in many subjects, and we now have so many doctorates in almost every subject (now considered experts) that they've run out of real and important things to research and write their thesis on because your thesis has to be something new or that you can prove has changed in the subject. Which means people that haven't actually contributed anything have reached the highest degree of education in these fields and as such is considered an expert based on their education on the subject. They haven't contributed to the field in any meaningful way, but because of their degree can decide the direction the field needs to go. That's the problem. When everyone has degrees, they become no more significant than a high school diploma.

@HarrDarr They weren’t blocking a road. They took over a building. Just like they did during Kavanah hearings and during the Women’s March. In my state capital protesters have jumped onto the chamber floor and chased lawmakers. Nobody screamed about an insurrection or an “assault on the Capital”. Edit: It was BLM protesters so I guess the media considered them the right kind so they didn’t smear them.

We're not taking over Gaza. I can't believe people are falling for that. Did you also believe in his first term he was going to go to war with North Korea? It's the big ask. It's a threat because something we don't know about is going on behind the scenes. The rebuilding is a promise if whatever is going on is resolved. Rebuilding will be investments from companies. Most likely, he wants Hamas completely out of power in the region, so there's a real chance at peace.

@MCC17011 ummm the right is already liberal. I don’t even remotely understand what you’re attempting to say. Are you one of these that believes the “right” is the Austrian with the funny mustache? Conservatives, the right, conserve societal norms and culture which is liberalism.
1
It's funny because they wanted race "consciousness." Even for the group they hate. They just wanted that group beaten down with guilt first. Then, their group consciousness would have them just give everything they'd achieved up. They were warned by others they really didn't want that to happen. People who understood it was through their grace alone that any other group was even allowed to enjoy the comfort they created. Now they're finding out.
1
This! At no point did anyone believe everyone is magically equal. Equal in the eyes of the government. Everything is about government not individuals. Even when it does come to the individual it’s about government not stifling the individual where they intersect while still maintaining society. Even in regards to the Civil Rights Act, it’s because government created different laws for different groups. It’s still all about government.

@tljsucks1166 You still haven't answered what policies. The only thing she talks about is giving away more money. Buying votes, basically. Her and Biden both have said repeatedly he didn't do anything without her. They worked hand in hand. There's nothing she would change about the last 4 years, yet runs on being change. She says a "new generation" when she's a boomer, and that's been 3 of our Presidents already. Bush, Clinton, and Obama. The reason people say Ukraine wouldn't have happened is because Putin has talked about how Trump was a wildcard. That when Trump threatened him, even if he thought it was only a 1% chance, he wouldn't risk it. There's a reason he started mobilizing in high gear after Biden was elected. Because he didn't see Biden as someone to take seriously and he was right clearly. Obama openly talked about how when Biden would visit say Saudi Arabia, he'd have to get on the phone and smooth things over. Kamala has called Biden her mentor. Think about that. None of the Democrat platform are her policies. They're all Biden's. The DNC has said they didn't have time to write and vote on a new one, so they went with what they had. If you want to vote for a machine rather than a person, that's fine. But be honest about it.

No. Just no. Why would an orc care about passing on his genes? He only wants to k1ll and harm. They're chaos as Morgoth corrupted them to be. Bent only on destruction. They wouldn't have families and they wouldn't care about any offspring. You're making assumptions about their children that have no basis. We don't know about Elf children either other than they have them and they stop aging once they reach adulthood. We don't know if that's a long time or a short time. We don't know if they're helpless at birth. I don't even understand the desire to know such details. It's like article of the interview with Martin. Why do you think such explicit details matter? It's irrelevant to the story.

I may not like his attitude all the time, but there’s little doubt James is an absolute expert at this point in it. It also makes no sense that abandoning liberalism will somehow make Communism disappear. It’s there, it exists. It’s been used to displace every other form of government so then every form causes it by that reasoning.

Except you can't because Tolkien made it clear they're all bad. That breaks the lore. You can certainly create your own world that's like that.

@PariahPsypomp6775 Are you calling her a camel? Do you not even realize how difficult doing what she’s chosen is? It’s completely against the current norm. That makes her the lion. It’s like how women today view early Christian women. They see them as oppressed when the truth is the opposite. Women were just looked at as for sex. It was demanded of them because the other religions at the time were hedonistic. Orgies and stuff were common place. To be chaste was seen as against the norm. It was very freeing for them. Just like now. A woman that chooses family over herself is seen as wrong and against the norm.

The economy thing is because they changed the metrics to determine it. It used to be hard numbers combined with other factors like layoffs, part-time vs full-time, and labor participation. Now it's just hard numbers. It's the same with crime statistics. They acknowledge that SA and gr@pe are severely under reported, but only use the officially reported cases to determine how prevalent it is and pretend that's not true for any other crimes. The real measurement is reported crimes combined with the victimization study which surveys how many victims of crimes are there are.

That’s what I grew up being told. It’s the People’s house. It’s the People’s buildings. That’s why all the museums in DC are free to the public. They belong to us.

@hohenzollern6025 If you want that the Middle East is ready when you are. Monarchy combined with religion. Perfect according to you.

@AverageAlien Yes. Liberalism has created the greatest advancement ever seen in history. In all areas. Wanting to just toss it aside because some idiots decided to undermine it is ridiculous. Nothing the far left says is liberal. It’s anti liberal. It’s why they changed from equality to equity. They do not mean the same thing and ignoring that and putting equality where they use equity is just as underhanded a tactic.

Ha! My first vote was Ross Perot. I was always a rebel. My favorite was Jack Daniels. It used to be very easy to get on the ballot in my state so we’d have around 10 people running for President. Good ole Jack was there a couple years so he was my go to because everyone else sucked.

It used to mean something. It no longer does. The title is now just used an appeal to authority. Much like many words have been shifted and changed for political purposes.

@ClayWeblogistics Exactly! It used to mean you'd achieved something in the field. Now it just means you got this super special degree that millions of others have too. Also, used to an expert in one field was completely disregarded in pretty much any other field. Now, you can be certified an expert in one field and used as an authority in a completely unrelated one.

@Archmage9885 He’s read Locke and all those. Liberalism has obviously adapted and changed since it’s first conception back then. Plus he’s under the belief that ideas like Communism can’t exist without liberalism. The problem with that is that might have prevented it but it’s not going to disappear if liberalism does. We just lose how to fight against it.

I've tried to point to our previous progressive era in the US and the striking similarities. It was, like now, this weird combination of trying to move society forward while still having a prudish aura about it. For example, it was the progressives that pushed for the alcohol ban. While still pushing social justice. Not racial justice like today, but it was a rise in pitying the criminal and not caring much about the victim. We also saw mass immigration. It lasted almost as long at around 27 years vs the almost 25 it's been this time. The result of the pushback, hopefully, will be similar as it ushered in our greatest period. Edit: I'm using 2000 as the starting point because that's when it started really being seen in colleges and a lot of the writings took place. So that would be where it began. It just stayed in mostly in the more liberal colleges for awhile before it spread out.

@sammygoodnight Championed how? Everything over here came from over there. For decades, the left side have cried how they wanted the US to be more European. Communism, post modernism, the removal and mockery of Christianity all started in Europe. I've even seen people claim the witch hunting happened all over the US. You mocked us for not being like you then blame us when we take on the ideas you created.

@bigol9223 Wrong. I suggest you look into the Church hearings where the CIA and FBI were spreading that false rumor. We had two paths to choose at that time period. MLK's or Malcolm X. Malcolm X was a communist and a black supremacist. MLK was a Christian leader, with many flaws as any man does, that like many before him wanted the Constitution to live up to its promise. Next you're going to say Walt Disney was an Austrian artist enjoyer which was a lie spread by the Communist in their paper because he stood up against the Union run by them intimidating his artists. Edit: That that was uncovered along with project Mockingbird in the sane hearings and people believe one but still claim MLK is a commie is astounding and an example of cognitive dissonance.

@Alfred5555 How did we evolve to mimic something that didn't exist? You said we evolved to mimic mechanical movements, but there were none. You had me until that. What are you trying to claim we learned to mimic when outside Apes and chimps nothing else on Earth performs tasks how we do?

That's the unique thing about the US and our system. Even if you feel your voice isn't heard on the federal level, you can and do feel it is on the state or (more importantly) local level. Those two keep us engaged in the system. As long as states remain strong and push back against the federal government, which thank goodness Republicans found their balls and remembered their powers during the coof, it will prevent a Caesar from arising. Putting such a figure into federal power or destroying the system to put him in power, would remove the voice they do have. It's much more likely the federal government will start being ignored as we drift further apart until we break up into regional governments.

@The_Haruspex I'm in the US. There was never a time church and state were combined. Religion has never had anything to do with conservatives here. It's just been something put upon conservative by others. Both parties have always contained religious members. Look at Congress now. Almost all of them follow a religion. It's not just a conservative thing. So you claiming it is shows your own uneducated understanding. During the moral panic of the 80s and 90s, it was Democrats pushing for censorship and regulations. I'm fairly certain Tipper Gore, wife of Al Gore, has never been a conservative or a Republican. Somehow that's been erased and it's now considered something conservatives alone did. Conservatism in the US is about preserving the ideals of the Constitution and our founders. Which, as much as it pains you, means living up to those ideals like all people are created equal and have rights ordained to them. That's why "conservatives" were the first party with black people in political positions and the first openly gay member of Congress. Probably the first female in a political position but I've never researched that. They don't brag about it like Democrats do because they don't see it as anything unique or special because it's just how it was always intended. That's not "progressive" either. It's what this country was founded on, the vision of those that created it to be eventually reached. If you're not in the US then your political references are completely different and right and left mean something entirely different.

@Moltonmetal776 "Birthing pains?" Seriously? Imagine if past generations were so weak and frightened by a short-term amount of pain. We'd have died out as a species before we'd even gotten started. There's this wonderful thing available thanks to modern medicine called an epidural. It removes all pain. No woman has to experience "birthing pains" unless she chooses to. Don't want to go through the work of labor at all? Scheduling a c-section. It's done all the time.

@Moltonmetal776 " What about women in 3rd world countries?" You mean the countries with high birthrates? They're doing their duty. They know and understand it's a duty. It's only in the developed world that birthrates have plummeted. The better and easier life is, the fewer children. That's because it's so comfortable the idea of a duty to society and future generations gets removed. There's a stark increase in selfishness and hedonism. Everything you're complaining about is called first world problems for a reason.

@GarerBear It’s drying up. Contrary to popular opinion, it wasn’t ideologically driven. At least not at the higher levels. I read financial news. About 15 or so years ago, I don’t remember the exact year but it was after the 2008 crash and under Obama, articles started coming out about the “new, young investor”. That they were more concerned with supporting a company’s policies than about profit. How true those articles were given what we know now I can’t say. They were predicting this huge market shift in what people purchased. That companies that were more say environmentally conscious would get a huge boost in the market. I personally thought it was stupid because young people have been and talked like that since the 80s but once they start really investing once they have extra cash that flies out the window. In response, a couple of larger investment groups do what they do and gambled on the prediction in an attempt to get ahead of the shift. Thus ESG was born as a way for investors, companies, and potential customers to see which companies “cared” about all these causes. Every investor wants to be the one that heavily invests on the ground floor of the next Walmart or Amazon. They saw these little companies as potentially that so they invested. A LOT. When the summer of love hit it probably massively reinforced the belief in this new type of customer and investor so the funding really ramped up. I can see why they’d think it signaled a massive shift in culture and thus buying habits from high up in their penthouses. I will say I have little doubt there were younger people fresh out of college telling them all their friends care about this stuff and are really dedicated to it which only further pushed their belief that they were right and ahead on this new market. This is why you keep hearing “modern audience” and other buzzwords like it. It’s trying to appeal to the predicted new market. Unfortunately the results are finally showing and it’s bs. The opposite is happening. People are rejecting it and refusing to participate. They’ve lost billions if not trillions on this silly gamble. Activists simply took advantage of what was being offered and because of this silly market prediction, companies believed they’d help them navigate it. TL;DR: There was a massive shift of buying habits predicted based on what causes a company supports and if they’re environmentally conscious. Thus ESG was born to rate which companies these new buyers would support. Hoping to be on the ground floor of the next Walmart or Google they’ve lost billions if not trillions to a prediction that was never going to come true.

@Friggsdottir Pretty much it. Technology and medicine have advanced to treat every other one. They like to bring up preeclampsia except the cure is giving birth. Ending the baby doesn’t stop it. They still have to give birth to it. So if the baby is alive or already ended is irrelevant. Meaning ending it isn’t part of the discussion at all in medical terms. Edit: I had it with both my pregnancies. Doing that wasn’t once brought up from a doctor. So it’s a ridiculous argument on its face and is only made from a non medical perspective.
