  1. Respect is allowing people to destroy themselves with self destructive behaviors. Love is extending yourself to encourage them beyond their self destructive behaviors. We respect too much, we don’t love enough.

  2. “Evil… in every person’s heart” Put a toy between two toddlers & watch them fight. I watched a little boy walk up to a 2 year old girl playing with a doll, snatch it out of her hand, then watched her snatch it out of his hand, and then she beat him with the doll. Evil is in the heart of individuals, from the earliest age.

  3. Ben attended the University of California, Los Angeles, graduating in 2004 at age 20 with a B.A. degree, summa cum laude, in political science and membership in Phi Beta Kappa. Afterwards, he attended Harvard Law School, graduating in 2007 with a J.D., cum laude.

  4. ⁠ @briancox9357 - “Americans seem ok with black peoples group behavior…” Mean income of immigrants from Africa, who are missing American language & culture, earn more than the average American. Mean income of people with distant African heritage, with language & culture, seem to do the worst in America. It seems the error is a problem related to the educational institutions, which are largely managed by The Left. The Left hate them, using people of color as objects to further political ideology.

  5. “Biden claiming physically maiming minors is radical?” No, I don’t remember Biden ever saying that physically maiming minors is radical… Biden policies seem to endorse child genital mutilation, and I think Ben correctly identified that.

  6. Huge problem. Every teacher should have mentioned it, once Russia re-invaded Ukraine again, roughly 100 years after the Holodomor

  7. “because they couldn’t understand watch others…” 😂 where did you ever get that idea? Read history and people wiping each other out were able to communicate with each other quite effectively!

  8.  @manvbees  - “one culture being superior to another is spread throughout history” This is true. Persian Muslims conquered non-Muslims in the caucuses to enslave them & send them to the battlefield. Ottoman Muslims conquered non-Muslims in the Balkans to enslave them & send them to the battlefield. Arabian Muslims enslaved Africans and sold them as Kaffirs around the globe, buying mostly eunuchs for those imported into The Middle East. With the rise of the Islamic State, they reinstated Slavery in occupied areas of Iraq & Syria, in our life time. With the instability of Libya, we see the rise of African Slavery again, in our lifetimes even today! Europeans pushed to ban slavery, so we can see which civilizations felt culturally superior. “Colonial powers did little to integrate into existing civilizations” On the contrary, Europeans clawed their way back from being extinguished by Islamism from the Iberian Peninsula to their West and Balkans to their East, pushing towards the middle. After rolling back Islamic Slavery of their own peoples, they ended global slavery [largely driven by Islam] with the end of WW1. Colonial powers ended slavery as they knew it, enabled global peoples to flourish by spinning off nations, one after another, after introducing literacy to their civilizations, enabling them to have the potential for self-rule. No civilization, in the history of the world, did more to help the rest of the world, than the colonial powers of Western Civilization. That does not mean there were were not big mistakes, significant abuses, but near universal access to water, medical care, education, communication (telco & internet), representative government, and safe & affordable transportation would be impossible without the colonial powers… and my ethnic heritage is not even from a colonial power. We just have to be honest about this all, stop playing the victim card, and start moving forward with what we have been given, for the benefit of the whole world!

  9. I would have been more interested in Ben trying to explain how Joe taking inappropriate showers with his little girl was being a good father. I am having a hard time reconciling what Joe’s family members write & what Ben is talking about.

  12. It was very hard for Americans to experience the US administration: - aligning the US with the Muslim Brotherhood (MB), who was formerly aligned with WW2 Germany’s Hitler - pressure Egypt to submit the Islamic Fascist MB - fund the Syrian Civil War, foster the Islamic State with the MB support & watch the Arab Slave Trade restart - overthrow Libya to divide it between MB & other local actors & watch the North African Slave Trade restart - watch the US attack Egypt for their rejection of the Historically Fascist MB & rejection of Obama/Biden wars across North Africa & Middle East Yes, it is very difficult to not blame the people in the US for aligning with WW2 Fascist allies, as Germans did during WW2… but a sizable quantity did vote for Fascism, War, and Genocide with Hitler’s Fascists & repeated it again with Obama/Biden’s historic WW2 Fascists.

  13. At least for the first half, it lightened up later

  14. Seems to be accurate. And questions seem to be more adversarial, rather than inquiring to draw thoughts out. Lex tried, but the start was a hard start.
