  1. The Lotus Eaters are clearly moving up in the world when they can get former prime ministers on for interviews.

  3. Fun fact about the film Lawrence of Arabia: the movie was initially banned in many arab countries because they thought that it would misrepresent a lot of arab historical characters. But then Omar Sharif arranged a viewing with President Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt to show him that there was nothing wrong with the way they were portrayed. Nasser loved the movie and allowed it to be released in Egypt, and it became a smash hit among egyptian movie goers. Also, when they were shooting the film in Jordan, Alec Guinness resembled King Faisal so closely that a lot of people mistook him for the actual King Faisal when he was wearing the costume and make-up. I watched Lawrence of Arabia for the first time quite recently, and I can highly recommend the film. The production value is off the charts, and not solely "for it's time". There's battle scenes in it that rivals the Lord of the Rings films in it, only there is no CGI whatsoever, so all that mounted cavalry you see is played by real people riding real horses and camels. It's quite a spectacle.

  4. That's right Posie. Never apologize. If they accuse you of something, be stone faced and just double down. The left views apologies and explanations as a weakness. So don't humour them by trying to be agreeable.

  5. It's not just not wanting to fight for Britain. We've also seen how the British government is intensely disloyal towards it's troops. Like with that stellar example of the government wanting to prosecute veterans who followed their orders when dealing with the IRA during the troubles, several years after the fact. Like you're told what to do by one government and you follow those orders. Then another government several decades later decides that you should be prosecuted for following orders. What kind of a moron would sign up for that and also put their own life on the line?

  7. If I was Musk, I would kick out the current legal team asap, and hire a completely new one. You can never trust these people to be professional. If Musk or Twitter face any legal challenges, the current legal team might purposefully offer bad legal advice in order to land Musk into trouble as revenge for taking over the company.

  8. Labour: "We need to seize the means of production from the capitalist class!" Actual labourers: "Uhm, we don't want to take the property of the capitalist class. We want someone to make sure that the capitalist class give us a well deserved piece of the pie, instead of running off with all of the pie."

  9. Nothing wrong with the wife being in charge of the household. It's about as traditional as it gets. Plenty of European cultures had it that way. The wife was given legal authority over the household, while the husband had the authority of bringing in resources. This worked for millennia.

  11. "Look what England did with slavery" Yeah, the English banned slavery. Not just in England either, but fought to ban slavery worldwide and actually succeeded in a lot of non-english territories.

  18. Nobody owns ANY culture. You can be the creator of a culture, but nobody owns it. That's what makes culture beautiful. Anyone can partake in it and enjoy it, regardless of which culture they were born from.

  23. I'd argue it's definitely worse to kick a cat than being racist. Being racist is just an opinion. Doesn't have to hurt anybody, aside from perhaps emotionally. And even if you're a violent racist, then at least your victims are humans who are capable of fighting back. A cat is small and weak compared to a human and can only really hope to run away from abuse. The cat can't defend itself whatsoever, and thus is automaticallu being far more oppressed than any human would be from racism.

  24. I don't care if the world turns into a Mad Max-like desert hellscape. I'll roam the deserts in a gaz guzzling muscle car, equipped with a grill in the passenger seat, cooking up some steaks as I run over enemy warboys.

  25. That black guy shouting down a chinese woman... The chinese has been around in the U.S since the 19th century, working on building the railroad and such. So they have more or less as much justification to be in the U.S as black people do. I suspect he's not a history major.
    101
  26. "The England Team would not exist without immigration" Right, because they surely couldn't have replaced the immigrants with any native english football players if there weren't any immigrants to get ahold of. 🙄
    97
  27. "Walking into a dangerous situation with a gun", well that's the thing. There are no laws against it. Kyle Rittenhouse had as much right to be on those streets as the left wing extremists. If the left wing extremists attack him then THEY are the ones breaking the law. So there really is no argument to be had about Kyle being there. It doesn't matter if someone thinks that "common sense" should've caused Kyle to not go there. "Common sense" is not the law.
    93
  28. It's not even about self-sacrifice. When you really care about someone, you don't consider listening to them opening up about frustrations as "labour". You have a genuine desire to find out what goes on in their minds and daily lives, and you feel like you want to do something to fix it. But you won't get that feeling if you're not emotionally invested into a person.

  30. The first two to three Alien films was really female empowerment done right. Not once do you think of Ripley as a woman trying to be a man. She's vulnerable and scared and quite clearly aware of her limitations, but she perseveres against the cosmic horrors through force of will and ingenuity. In the second alien film, she became the mama bear rage personified instead of trying to act like a male action hero, and it worked perfectly. If I am blessed with a daughter, I'll have her watch these films for inspiration.

  31. Can muslims really claim to want children to be left alone though? When they marry off their daughters at ages as young as 12, knowing full well that their "husbands" will consumate the marriage.
    77
  32. No, it's always wrong to harass and inconvenience regular people, regardless of your political cause. The people trying to use the road did not put Assange in prison, nor are they responsible for whether British houses are insulated or not. If you're gonna do activism, then you can inconvenience someone with actual authority. Making life a living hell for a powerless civilian is terrorism and unacceptable.
    75
  33. 2021 sucked most of the time. But despite restrictions I was able to see my girlfriend who lives abroad, not once but twice and we had a great time. It's quite the hassle living apart like we do, but that's what happens when you first meet online and discover that you live in different countries. The timing was pretty crap too since Covid reared it's ugly face just six months after we first met. We're both holding on though and everything feels good. We're looking to move in together as soon as possible, but travel restrictions prevents it for the time being.

  34. "Safety online" means not having your bank account hacked and emptied by thieves. It means not having your devices infected with malware that destroys the contents of their hard drives. It means holding all online vendors to account and making sure they can't scam customers out if their money. It does NOT mean that your "feelings" are to be protected from offensive content you see online at all times.

  35. Funny how the Jordan Petersons of the world thinks it's fine for us plebs to mock and criticize people in power... So long as they're not "God's Chosen People".

  37. Some figures for you: Russias national debt as of 2023 is about 15 percent of Russias GDP. The U.S national debt as of 2023 is about 122 percent of the U.S GDP. So when it comes to pointing fingers over who mismanages what... The enemies of Russia don't look too good.

  38. Reminds me of a Steve Hughes bit on Charity: "Don't give that homeless man your money! He's just gonna spend it on booze and drugs!" Steve Hughes: "Well what did you think I was gonna spend it on?" 🤣
    57
  39. Ubers business strategy basically bottles down to getting unfair advantages over regular cab companies. Uber expects you to supply your own car, and they pay scraps for the maintenance of your car. If it breaks down, then fixing it comes mostly out of your own pocket. Whereas a cab company has to supply the vehicles and their maintenance, and pay for your public pension and other fees etc. Uber should be banned.

  44. The smartphone isn't the heroin. It's the syringe. The heroin is social media feeds. But a syringe can also be used to inject good things, like antibiotics and vitamins. Their internet counterparts would be history content, tutorials for learning new skills and so on.
    55
  45. What she neglects to mention is that the meat industry as a whole is also ensuring the survival of many species of cows, pigs and chickens. Cows are not the same as their strong auroch ancestors from pre-historic times. They are not physically equipped to fend for themselves in the wild anymore. So if you ban the meat industry, then who takes responsibility for all the cows? Are you just going to "set them free" and watch them be devoured en masse by wild predators until they go extinct? Or are you going to continue breeding them in capitivity as a form of preservation where there are no financial profits to be made anymore. Also even if you're not slaughtering the cows, they still need to eat. So any conservation efforts will still take up the same space of farmland as before. Only no food for humans is being produced out of it, making the whole operation a net financial burden on society.

But then some leftiest started telling Matt that Shad have "problematic views", and Matt took the road of a coward and didn't even speak to Shad about it but just posted on facebook that he disavows Shad completely and cut all associations with him.

  51. The abortion issue is a massive self own by the left in the U.S. When leftists argued Hillary's talking points about safe, legal and rare and treating it as an occasinal necessary evil rather than something desirable. The right were mostly willing to go along with it, except for the minority rightwing groups with more extreme views. But then the left had to go and use abortions as a means to provoke the rightwing, and behaving absolutely disgusting about it. This sealed the fate of the legality of abortion in red states. You shouldn't have pushed your luck, lefties!

  52. Oh yeah, Sweden has been so terrible towards islamic immigrants. So terrible in fact that the authorities go out of their way to buy apartments for them from the housing market and just handing the apartments over to them free of charge, while ramping up housing costs in the process, making it harder for native Swedes to be able to find a place to live and to afford one. How terrible of them.

  56. The Euromaidan was not a "civic uprising". It was a revolution. Yakunovich was still a democratically elected leader at the time. Whether the voters or his opposition liked his decision to go with a more pro-russian policy or not, if you just start an uprising because of it, then you can't deny that you revolted a democratically elected leader.

  57. A late friend of mine was a "sex worker". Even she and her colleagues refered to eachother as "whores". While I didn't agree with her line of work, I could respect her honesty and wit about the whole thing. Ironically she was never in any danger from any of the johns. Instead it was her ex-boyfriend who stabbed her to death.

  66. Ignoring them definitely don't work. Think about the symbolism of gluing yourself to a painting or work of art that does not belong to you. Strip away the human complexities of it and see it for what it is. If you were a dog, such an action would be quite clear to you: these other dogs are pissing in their turf on YOUR fire hydrant. Ignoring it will not cause those other dogs to go away. It will cause them to strut around with tails held high, walking around as if they owned the place. YOUR place. An aggressive, physical response is the ONLY way to cause other dogs to back down and leave your territory alone.

  67. Not even men want to be in the office! We just go because if we don't, we'll be out of a home, a car, gaming PC's and food on the table. Would be pretty sweet to just be a stay-at-home dad actually. All you need to worry about is the cooking, cleaning and taking care of the kids.

  72. Honestly, finding a comedic spin on awful events is glorious. Consider tje italian film Life is Beautiful. It's not just funny but also very sweet and wholesome. The epitome of a "feelgood" movie. And it manages to do it while using the Holocaust as a backdrop. It's quite genius to be able to do something like that with such a depressing backdrop. Humour is one of mankinds finer coping mechanisms in the face of atrocities and horrible events. It's rebellious and defiant in the face of the worst adversity imaginable. It's an act that says "you may kill me but you won't take away my spirit". So why on earth would you seek to destroy that?

  73. But a promiscuous man is a bad bet for a woman too. When men sleep around, children out of wedlock happen. Meaning less of the man's resources available for the womans own children with him.

  74. Tradition makes the individual feel less atomized. With tradition there is a CONTEXT to ones existence, and also an implicit guidance to how to live your life. In the cyberpunk dystopia, there is no context for the individual. Everyone is forced to basically invent context for themselves from scratch. Which some individuals will be able to do and quite adept at doing it, but most people won't, and they will end up feeling isolated and depressed.
    29
  75. I was forced to sit through Schindlers List in class back in the day. There was never any talk about making it more "palatable" back then. What bugged me was the fact that history class was so singularly devoted to the holocaust, while the rest of world history was glossed over. I'm not a holocaust denier, but you kind of get where they're coming from when they're talking about the indoctrination of school children sometimes, because there's a disproportionate amount of focus on the holocaust. Yet the holodomor was never even mentioned.

  80. Asking for two experts on opposite side of the argument isn't unfair for the purpose of interviews and news reporting though. Part of getting the audience to really ponder over an issue and make up their minds means that both sides of the discussion should be subjected to some educated challenging and debating in order to see who comes out on top. That said, I don't believe for a second that Hasan Piker would ever be satisfied no matter how many experts are brought in. Since he's a habitual goalpost shifter.

  83. The "nicest" people are always fascists deep down. Give me a rude asshole any day of the week. They may be brash and unpolished, but this is usually a result of their embrace of freedom. And when push comes to shove they won't be interfering with yours, and more often than not they will speak out against those who'd trample your freedoms. The "nice folk" however should always be treated with suspicion. Beneath their veneer of politeness and nice manners, a fascist is usually just waiting to come out if anyone rocks the boat.

  85. Funny you should mention that. One grievance that many Russians I've spoken to have is the fact that almost no western leaders, invited to Russia for Victory Day decided to show up and honour the Soviet troopers who fought and died while defending their homelands from the Nazis. Whatever petty disagreements the east and the west have over various issues, surely it couldn't have hurt to show up and celebrate the defeat of Hitler alongside the Russians? I mean, I think we can all agree that the Nazis posed a dire threat to both the east and the west?

  92. It is exceedingly difficult to be sure. All I've had to go on so far is applying the more basic military realities to the situation. Like, I can be pretty sure that Russia isn't "winning" right now. I make this assumption due to several factors. First it's always harder to attack and take territory than it is to defend territory unless the numbers and equipment are ludicriously uneven. Attackers usually have to account for heavy casualties initially, until they manage to break through. Second, the taskforce that Putin put together for this invasion is relatively small considering the mission they are expected to carry out. We're talking about a couple hundred thousand troops, expected to take a country with a population in excess of 40 million people, and it's not a "small" country by any stretch either. That said, nobody can argue that Ukraine is winning either, because while they are dug in and defending, the Russians definitely have mobility on their side. So the Russians can almost strike at will, at any target they like, but they're facing difficulties in capturing and holding territory for extended periods of time. The Ukrainians can hold territories better, but they can't kick the Russian forces out of the country either. Note, I make these conclusions based on numbers and equipment alone. I won't even bother with news sources, because the propaganda war on both sides is in full swing so no news reports can really be trusted at all.

  96. I know what you mean. Be mindful of this though. It's okay to take a break from it all. Spend time with family. Cuddling with pets. Watch a movie or whatever distractions you prefer. I know that it's easy to feel that you have a sense of "duty" to follow up on current events and that you simply have to "suffer through it". But if you do it too much, it's easy to become depressed or blackpilled in some way. And from the perspective of duty, none of us are useful to any kind of "cause" if we end up in a swamp of depression and blackpilling. This culture war is not something that's going to be settled in just one election period. It's a long struggle that is likely to last for decades. So make sure that you keep yourself energized for it by taking some time off and purposefully be "out of the loop" for some well deserved vacation from it. Long wall of text I know, but your post very much echoes my own sentiments so it felt like a good idea to share some constructive thoughts.
    23
  97. I did. Nukes made the country invasion proof. So a military collapse would never happen. So corruption, incompetence and internal divisions was the predictable outcome. The "Freedom" experiment is on it's final stretch and it will go out with an undignified whimper. Time to go back to what has always worked: Might makes right.

  100. But if you don't want it, then why do you still compete? If MMA fighters really opposed the practice of men, posing as women just to beat other women senseless, you need to protest by refusing to compete en masse. You need to bully and ostracize any fighter who choose to break such a strike and make their life miserable within the community. There is a principle involved here, so MMA fighters who oppose this cannot just think of their own athletic careers while allowing the whole sport to go down the drain.

  101. Islamophobia can't be "racist". Because it's not targeting a race but a belief. It's like saying that being phobic against capitalism is "racist".

  102. I'd be surprised if the Thai say "Thailand" since "land" is not a native word of the Thai language. And I know for a fact that the Japanese don't refer to their country as "Japan" but as Nihon-koku. But they're not moaning and being cringe about it. Especially not since they have their own names and pronounciations for our western countries as well. It's a perfectly fair system of tit for tat and there's no valid reason to change it. And as far as "Turkiye" goes... I refer to them as "Cockroach Land"
    21
  103.  Jason Bourne  Agreed. For me it's like, even if i'm not a cop, that kind of situation is one that I'd want to go in a "hobo with a shotgun mode". Who cares if I end up dead during the attempt. Most people in the world die completely pointless deaths and won't be remembered by anyone. So if you ever have that opportunity to go into danger to save someone, especially a classroom full of defenseless children, then why not? If you take out the shooter, you can always look back on it for the rest of your life and feel like you did something genuinely good and impactful in this world. If you get shot, then it's still a hero's death. Win/win, I'd say.
    21
  104. The part about art not having to be about race makes me think of Rowan Atkinson and "Mr. Bean". The character Bean is massively popular all over the world. And the reason behind it is because the comedy sketched that feature Bean are purposefully made to not rely on language or knowledge of cultural contexts. It's like Atkinson and the involved writers tried to strip away as much cultural context from the humour as possible in order to reach a sort of universal "core or comedy" that anyone on earth can understand and find funny. So Bean's race becomes irrelevant. His British background is irrelevant. The language that he supposedly speaks (although he just mutters and mumbles inaudibly most of the time) becomes irrelevant. It doesn't matter if you're from Britain, Egypt, Bangladesh, Uruguay, France or Finland. The comedy in Mr. Bean can be understood by everyone.

  105.  @zerofactor7871  I'm not a fan of motorsports personally. It's just too repetitive going around the same track over and over that I eventually lose interest. But I do have a soft spot for engineering. They say that electric vehicles accelerate faster and what have you. But there's no "energy" to it for me. I like the sound of a roaring combustion engine.

  106.  @PostProteusKitten  It's like, he could've told Shad about this directly or at least hear him out. Agree to disagree as an adult person would do or try to persuade Shad to see things from his point of view. But instead he skipped interacting with Shad entirely and went on to do a performative post to appease angry lefties. It's so vile and transparent and telling of his exceedingly bad character. Heck, he could've just stayed quiet entirely and gone about with his regular content while not doing more collabs with Shad in the future and wait for the relatively minor outrage to die down. It would've been a bit cowardly too, but at least it would've been more classy. And that's why I am openly critical of his actions. It's not the fact that he "dumped" Shad. But how he went about it and what it says about him as a person. Matt showed the world that he's just a disloyal snake and such behaviour warrants public roasting.

  111. I'd ask the following: If you are to deny people tax funded welfare... Why then should they feel compelled to pay any taxes at all? You'd literally play completely into the libertarian argument that taxation is theft, because you'd be stealing from people to fund welfare, supposedly "available to everyone", while at the same time telling the people you're stealing from that they are banned from the welfare they're forced at gunpoint to pay for.

  124. I can't help but feel that a lot of people get misdiagnosed with depression because western culture has made it seem like happiness and elation is the "normal" state of mind. So if anyone ends up being "below" that, they start thinking they're depressed and overfocus too much on it until it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Being in touch with your "raw" mental being seems to be something that most people just desperately try to avoid at all costs, rather than sitting down and just go through the experience and learning how to deal with it. If you're tired, everyone drinks coffee or energy drinks. If they're stressed, the drink or smoke cannabis. If they're comfortless they eat unhealthy foods. If they're sad they start popping anti-depressants. How is anyone supposed to be able to learn to know themselves when they immediately resort to chemical escapes of somekind to avoid having to go through an inconvenient emotion?

Seriously, to all the younger people in this comment section, I strongly recommend to take your time and see if you can find some of these classics. Despite their lower budgets, they'll beat anything that Netflix or Amazon has put out in terms of drama.

  157. Well yeah, Russias economy is small. But at the same time, it's largely a result of trade sanctions imposed on Russia by other countries. So you can't really use the "muh capitalism" or "muh free market" arguments here, since the state of things is a direct result of government intervention rather than market forces. Also, the one thing that Russia dedicates financial resources to is the military, so they're definitely a superpower in the military sense. And also definitely superior to South Korea in that department.

  161.  @eddiebruv  It was very expensive, yes. Slaves did not come cheap. In the U.S it would take several years before a single slave had produced enough to earn his master the same amount of money that he paid for the slave. Slaves also had more expensive upkeep compared to exploitable employees. A slave had to be fed, housed, seen to by a doctor and guarded to prevent them from escaping. A hired farmhand on the other hand would have to settle for some low pay, and maybe be allowed to sleep in the barn if he didn't have his own accomodations. So back during the trans atlantic slave trade in the U.S, paying workers was a steal compared to owning slaves. The only upside to slavery for the master was the fact that buying a slave was more of an investment that would net a stable income further down the line, whereas a hired farmhand could just run off and pursue better pay elsewhere if he felt like it.

There weren't any "political messaging" in either of those. Sure, some of them were violent, but the violence was often pretty tame and just that regular level of action that appeals to young boys and make them excited. But I can't remember a single situation where they came off as "preachy" or trying to spread political or ideological messages aside from regular human decency stuff along the lines of: "bullying is bad" or "protect those who aren'r as strong as you". You know, ideals that anyone can agree with, regardless of political views.

I need to both look after my own people and nation's sovreignty while also argue in favor of my patriotic colleagues in the rest of Europe and the U.S as well.

They have experienced uprisings from the ethnically Russian majorities living in those places, just like with Crimea. It's funny how you all whine about Putin's actions towards Ukraine, but not once do you mention how the Poroshenko regime and the Euromaidan (who included groups of militant Neo-Nazis in it) treated the ethnic Russians inside Ukraine before these uprisings. I can only applaud Putin for giving real support to Russian expats being faced with such discrimination, violence and oppression that the Russian-hating Ukranian regimes subjected them to.

He's got more real life experience than most people.

  227.  @JohnTCampbell1986  Yeah, but far from every labourer is cut out for being a capitalist. Not everybody can be an entrepeneur. It's not just a skill that anyone can be taught, but a talent. So there's no shame in not having aspirations of running your own business. And it certainly doesn't mean that capitalists should be allowed to short change the labourers at every turn like some employers do. They need employees for their business. And employees needs the entrepeneur to have jobs. There's a natural and good co-dependency there, and neither side should strive towards fucking the other over. But market liberals as well as thieving socialists would basically completely remove any and all protections for one if these sides. They are both extremists who seek to upset and ruin this natural co-dependency and need to be opposed. Society will never be a "nation of shopkeepers" devoid of government, because not everyone is cut out for running a shop of their own. And it will never be an "equal collective" where nobody owns more than any other either. So the pipedreamers might as well shut up and grow up.

Even as an atheist I celebrate christmas and easter with my family. I don't do it to reinforce faith on my own part and neither do my family. We do it because the traditions and rituals involved helps to bring our thoughts to our deceased family members, and knowing that we're enjoying the same foods and common rituals that they did. It's bonding for the family members who are still alive and serve the purpose of reconnecting with those who aren't. And our traditions are also very similar to every other family in my country celebrating christmas or easter as well. So it's a common ground for every citizen.

  245. I don't hold it against people of Petersons age getting vaccinated. If I was an older gentleman in his position, I'd probably had gotten vaccinated too. But being a younger man, I found it too risky to get injected with something so prototypical. If I had lived most of my life and had children if my own already and with the knowledge that the virus could affect me in a far worse manner than it would do to younger people, then I could see myself taking the gamble with the vaccine. But being young and wanting a family, what if the vaccine ends up having long term effects on my virility? What if it might prevent me from having children? What if it cause some other kind of infirmity that spoils the remaining years of my youth? That risk is far too great for me. Especially so since I've already had the virus twice and came out of it just fine, with no lasting injuries or conditions. I'd rather take the risk with the devil I know, than the devil I don't

They don't want to be forced into an EU or NATO membership by the Ukranian government in Kiev.

  262.  @peterfireflylund  You make a mistake in assuming that just because a lot of exposure is taking place it equates to having accurate information. But nothing could be further from the truth. For starters, the Ukrainians and the Russians are basically using the same design of tanks, apc's, helicopters and even jets. So if you see a wrecked Soviet looking tank and somebody slaps on a text saying "Russian tank destroyed", you have no way of knowing if it's actually Russian or not. In fact, not even markings are helpful, since it's very easy for someone to just spraypaint a "Z" onto the wrecked hull of the tank and claim it belongs to the Russians, while it might just as well be a wrecked Ukrainian tank. Unless you are well versed in being able to spot the later upgrades that Russia have installed on their tanks, that the Ukrainians do not have, you won't be able to separate truth from fiction. And make no mistake, both Russia and Ukraine have a vested interest in spreading a narrative that their respective side is winning, and both employ psyops units as we speak. So you can't just run around and assume that what you see in social media and news reports as being accurate information. People believed in all of that "Ghost of Kyiv" and "Last stand at Snake Island" bullcrap too. But it all got debunked in the end. And the footage from the first was from a freaking video game. That's how fast lies and fiction spread through social media. So like I said: more exposure =/= accurate information.

And you'll see their flags being proudly displayed in all the footage from the Euromaidan insurrection in 2014 too.

I'm not american, but I still feel disgusted by the way american politicians treat U.S citizens and I have every sympathy for those who try to resist it. The same goes for the British, the French, The Swedes, The Spanish and everyone else. We deserve better than regressive left wing politics, enforced multiculture and rampabt mass immigration. Our societies were built for the sake of OUR benefit after all. Not for a bunch of political and business magnates in ivory towers, horny for ideas of social engineering and utopianism.

  288. I could simplify a reply for this muppet: Children are too young to handle the nuances and complexity of race and slavery in a similar way that they are too young to handle the topic of sex. Therefore it's better to not teach white kids or black kids about it, since the less they know about the subject of race and it's troubled history, the more likely it is for kids of different races to get along and be able to be friendly towards one another. Being taught history about racism and slavery isn't something a kid can easily distance from. You require an adult mind to do that. Teaching it early is just more likely to breed resentment and distrust among kids of different races, so there's really no valid reason to pump CRT into the classrooms.

  296.  @AmandaHoranGoBookYourself  Look, humans are no different from animals. In the animal realm of mammals, the females decide which males get to breed. The males have to prove themselves worthy of mating in the eyes of the females. That's why a man who beds more women will always have a higher status than a woman who sleeps with a lot of men. The woman is expected to be choosy and careful about who she grants her limited amount of eggs to. Men however produce millions of sperm cells every day. It's just different and antagonistic sexual reproductive strategies that have existed in nature for millions of years and they never stopped applying today. Human ideology (like feminism or "sexual liberations") are not just going to upend million year old biology in just a few decades. Don't start a fight with genes, because it is a fight you will lose. And no, genes are not fair and never will be.

How often do you hear of riots and gang crime among Thai or Korean ethnic groups in countries to which they've migrated? Are they always perfectly integrated with the host cultures? No. A lot of the times their communities can be a bit insular and they stick to their own. But do they go out of their way to cause trouble or supplant the local culture with their own? No, they are notoriously polite and agreeable with local culture and customs, even the parts which they do not understand or agree with on a personal level. I swear, if Europe had gotten mass migration from Thailand rather than the islamic world, nobody would've had anything to complain about.

They fear how the balance of economic power might shift if Russia is allowed to take contributions from foreign investors to exploit the massive acreages of virgin soil for mining, logging, getting oil and natural gas and so on. So they want to starve Russia of cashflow and keep Putin putting taxmoney into the military to guard borders. The U.S, Britain and France needs Russia to be kept as a third world country and it's population impoverished because they won't be able to maintain some important core monopolies otherwise.

A couple of dead cops is a small price to pay if it means making sure some more kids would live. And yes i'm willing to put my own life on the line in such a situation too, despite not being a cop. If a kid lives because I died while taking out the shooter, then that's a fair trade. Simple as.

  320. On the topic of oral posture. When you look at craniums from the remains of people who lived during the middle ages, the teeth in their lower jaws and upper jaw align almost perfectly. Look at craniums of people today and you see a huge number of specimens with overbites (the teeth in the upper jaw runs over the teeth in the lower jaw). The reason behind this, as anthropologists have discovered, is the introduction of eating with a knife and fork and cutting food into small pieces that are manually inserted into the mouth. Medieval people didn't use that style of cutlery. They had spoons or ladles for soups and stews, and they would use a knife for cutting large portions of food. But the rest of the eating was done by hand, and by biting off morsels from breads, meats and vegetables. This way of eating food directly influenced the oral posture of these people. It's a very small detail that one wouldn't really think about but which has a big influence on the looks of your facial features.

This was not in "east germany" to my knowledge (as in the side of germany controlled by the DDR and the Soviet Union). In fact, Hannover was in the zone if British occupation after world war 2. So these experiments took place in WESTERN germany, under the supervision of WESTERN authorities. Whether Kentler was a communist or not, I don't really know. But it's quite disingenous to pin this crime on the Soviets.

  323.  @leenaleewitch3731  Sorry, the Labour party of today does not get to to take credit for the laurels of things that happened decades ago. Woke leftists are not the same people as the original labour rights activists. They don't even share the same ideology. Woke leftists have done nothing but tarnish and destroy the great legacy and reputation of the labourers movement back in the day. So I stand by my earlier statement that Labour is a party of evil.

  324. You need to reserve some low skilled work for native citizens. Low skilled work is the proverbial foot in the door for young people onto the job market, in order to get work experience. You can't expect every young person to be a successful academic or even a university graduate.

  328. It's not a bad thing that office spaces are getting vacant on account of people working from home. Eventually the real estate owners will be forced to start converting these bloated office space buildings into housing apartments instead. Which will end up depressing the high living costs since there will be a big new influx of housing units on the housing market. When you think about it, it makes little sense to pay for giant, top dollar office spaces in cities when everyone has fiber connections and laptops. Office work in general bottles down to computer work. And you can pretty much compute wherever.

The difference was that Lordi's song absolutely killed it.

  339.  @XtremeConditions  There is no "tolerance paradox" though. It's just a made up concept used to justify taking away people's freedom to express themselves in a way of their own choosing. In the truly free society, you can express yourself however you feel like while also having your property rights and employment rights protected under the law. And yes, this even extends to so called "incitement to violence". Because at the end of the day, incitement is harmless. It's mere words and nothing else. Words never harmed anyone. Actions do. And if a group of people proceed to do violence based on what the instigator merely SAY, then those people are solely responsible for their actions, and the full might of the law should come down on them like a hammer on an anvil. Nobody is entitled to excuse their actions by saying "Well this person on a soapbox told me to go out and harm minority x". You had the choice when you heard the guy on the soapbox. You chose to just believe him at face value. You chose to do what he told you, even though you knew it was in direct violation of the law and also a violation of the rights of the people you victimized. The idiot on the soapbox is just a ranting idiot. Nobody is obliged or dutybound to listen to him. Therefore it is completely ludicrous to act as if the idiot on the soapbox have committed a "crime" for merely having words come out of their mouths. It's a nothingburger. Hot air with zero capacity to harm anyone. And it's about damn time society grows up and realize this and stop bickering over "fighting words" or "intolerant speech" or "hate speech". Legalize them all, I say. But make damn sure you send in heavily armed police ready to give people a real beating with nightsticks at the very moment anyone steps over the line from merely using words and into illegal action.

  347. There are no rights devoid of compulsion. That's just a fantasy of liberalism. Even the rights that might not by themselves require anyones labour to make happen, you'll still need to rely on labour from someone else in protecting them. Like the right to freedom of speech for example. Doesn't cost anyone anything for you to speak. BUT if someone tramples on your right to freedom of speech, who's going to defend it from their abuse? You, the individual? Might work if you only have one or two antagonists to go up against. But what if it's an entire gang or an army? Are you still going to be able to defend your right to freedom of speech on your own? No, you'll probably die in the attempt. You need help. From policemen, soldiers, courts and government. They are compelled to do their duty in protecting that basic right, so that you can enjoy it. If all of them decide that they're not going to be compelled to help protect your right to freedom of speech, then you, de facto, have no right to freedom of speech. So all rights, no matter how basic or cheap in terms of resources and labour are always derived from compulsion and duty.

  349. It reminds me of Mamoru Oshii's classic anime feature film Ghost in the Shell. Cyborg special forces units of the police trying to chase down a mysterious hacker. The hacker known only as "The Puppetmaster". His monicker is derived from the fact that he directly hacks into people's minds and then alter their memories and perception to think they're doing something else entirely, while in reality they are hacking into government networks for him as a way to cover his own tracks. The protagonists manage to arrest and pick up one of his victims. For the last several years he thinks that he's been married to a woman and they had a child together, only for the woman to suddenly file for a divorce. He thinks he's been hacking into his ex-wifes email and bank accounts in order to try and locate where his wife and child has gone to. But in reality for the last several years during his "marriage" and separation, he's actually been living alone in a bachelors apartment. His entire history with his wife and child was a simulated memory implanted into his brain remotely, and the hacking he's been doing has in reality been about hacking into government networks to extract information for The Puppetmaster. Suffice to say that he breaks down during the interrogation when the truth is exposed to him and the illusion breaks. Imagine going through something like that.

  354.  @Jerryhayes2  No she didn't "control everything". She enjoyed authority in the household, but not much outside of it. The men had authority in private enterprise and as leaders of the communities they lived in. They basically shaped and governed their societies while married women shaped and governed households. And both men and women were mostly fine with this arrangement. The men didn't want to bother themselves with details of cooking, cleaning and managing house servants or slaves. They were content with being the breadwinners and bringing back earnings/loot from campaigns with the full knowledge that there would be hot meals and warm hearths waiting for them. The woman also had several benefits in this arrangement. As head of the household she could demand certain standards to be met, like level of income to the household and the quality of her husband. The husband would lose social status and respect if he didn't properly provide for his household.

  359.  @BusbyTreeSurgery  With some variation. There are countries where veterans get more appreciation compared to Britain. And this is why I'd discourage people to enlist and why I urge servicemen to revolt against governments that mistreat them. At the end of the day the country and the government relies on the armed forces for their safety. If the armed forces collectively just decide to refuse to work, the government is screwed. They depend on soldiers. Soldiers do not depend on them. Therefore soldiers should exploit this imbalance of power to make damn sure that the government doesn't try to fuck with them.

  360.  @Reiman33  If following orders in not an excuse, then how can you expect anyone to willingly murder people on behalf of the state if he knows he might be next for the chopping block for carrying out his orders? Responsibility for warcrimes belongs AND SHOULD ALWAYS belong with the statesman who issues the orders. There is only one single exception and that is if soldiers go rogue and carry out atrocities without any orders to do so. But of there is an order and a chain of command, soldiers are and should remain blameless. They don't have a choice, especially not during a war. If you are enlisted when war breaks out, you either carry out your orders, or you'll be court-martialled for insubordination or even desertion. In some countries it's a crime punishable by death during times of war. It certainly was in Nazi Germany during the height of the war.

  368.  @akessel92train  Putin doesn't want or need more territory. He's already in charge of the biggest country in the world, based on surface area. With vast quantities of natural resources to exploit. The problem is that the U.S and the EU are worried about what would happen if Russia could be open to investment opportunities and turn into an industrial powerhouse. It would upset the current power hedgemony in the world where the U.S and the EU fancies themselves as top dogs on account of their wealth. That said, Putin is required to think geo-strategically, since letting Nato get too close and set up shop in neighbouring countries poses a significant danger to Russia. But he doesn't want this bickering with the Ukraine nor annex further territory. More territory = more borders to guard using an already thinly stretched military to do it. The costs outweigh the gains.
    5
  369.  @akessel92train  That's assuming that your ultimate goal is to partake in global trade. There are a lot of rumours out of Russia that speaks of moving Russia towards becoming an independent self-supplier of coal, iron, wood, natural gas and so on and it makes sense for Putin's strategy. That said, keep in mind why the Crimean conflict started in the first place. Russia already had it's naval bases at Crimea. It was on Ukranian territory, but they had brokered a deal with the Ukranian government to keep those bases and ports after the Soviet union was dissolved. Then Ukraine went nuts and started talking about joining Nato and the EU. Would be impossible for Russia to allow Ukraine to simply hand over these naval ports to Nato forces, so Russia annexed Crimea and settled for it.

What you need is to develop discipline and control over how your emotions are made manifest, and you also need to embrace male activities like banter and competition for what it is, instead of running around feeling insulted or "hurt" by it. It is by developing these qualities that you grow as a man. Not by sitting around in a therapeutic circle jerk talking about your feelings all the time.

No. No stone age tribe could afford that wasted labour. Every hunter/gatherer was an opportunist by default. If women foraging for berries or roots saw any ancestors of rabbits and squirrels nearby, they'd definitely kill it and add it to the food stores, and they'd get good at it too if they knew what was good for them. Male hunters would do the large game hunting, since it required long journeys as well as hauling back meat to the tribe. But women definitely hunted small game when opportunity presented itself. And both genders fished (actually stone age people ate way more fish than game meat based on the contents of ancient stool samples)

Moscow's interest is not wanting Ukraine to become yet another Nato-state which is currently engulfing all of Russias western borders. If Ukraine became a Nato member and the U.S sets up nuclear missile silos in Ukraine, then those missiles would be within such a short striking distance from Moscow and other strategic targets in Russia that Russia simply won't have the time to deploy any countermeasures before those nukes hit. Basically, american controlled nukes in Ukraine is pretty much exactly like the Cuban missile crisis but in reverse. So it's frankly impossible for Putin to just allow that to happen. Also Ukraine could get out of this situation easily ny signing a treaty to not join Nato or the EU. But they won't, because the hatred of Russia runs deep in the Ukranian elite and they want nothing more than to hurt Russia in any way they can.

  410.  @XtremeConditions  The U.S has made a step in the right direction by having a contitution in place. The reason they can get away with tyranny in Scotland is because they don't have a constitution. Politicians are basically free to fiddle around with any law as they see fit. If they wanted to introduce the death penalty for rightwingets tomorrow, and they have enough representatives to support it, they could do it with impunity. Changing constitutional amendments in the U.S however, requires a supermajority (it's not merely enough to have a majority to see it through). The problem with the U.S right now is that there is a sizeable portion of the establishment and a president who simply choose to ignore the constitution to implement their tyranny. Best case scenario, gun owners will band together with money and sue the government in the supreme court for the Biden administrations anti-constitutional methods. It's a very high likelyhood they'd win so long as the supreme court justices haven't been packed or bought off. Worst case: you basically need armed revolution. Shooting at whatever cops or soldiers the government send to take your guns away. And yes, I realize this would be "illegal violence", but the context differs widely in the sense that the government itself is violating your constitution by trying to take awa your guns. The founding fathers were pretty clear about why there is a 2nd amendment to begin with, and it includes granting the means to the citizens to violently oppose tyrants. Even if the tyrant in question happens to sit in the oval office. The socialists engaging in violence however can't make any legal or constitutionla case for their actions. Now laws or constitutions are broken to violate their rights. The socialist can only try to justify their violence citing ideals about "equality" or "anti-capitalism". But even if they don't like capitalism, their constitutional rights are not being infringed upon by anyone, making their case for violent revolution objectively weaker.

Since I had the virus twice so far, and I know that it doesn't make me seriously sick to the point where I need hospitalization, I feel safe risking getting sick again because I know no real harm will come to me. But at the same time, I need symptoms to be as pronounced as possible, so that my body can tell me that I may have the virus again, so I know when to call in sick for work and isolate so as not to spread the infection to someone else.

  437.  @Never4534   @Never4534  Ah, that's a shame. Nevertheless, know that you're not alone in thinking about these issues and that you want to see some change. That's why the msm and social media sites are working overtime on trying to shut the topics down. They want us to feel isolated and alone with our views, because they fear our opposition if we realize just how many people there are out there that shares our sentiments. It's a good thing you've chosen to follow the issues and not just keeping your head down to avoid rocking the boat. If there's no one IRL to talk to, then do continue keeping yourself informed about it. And if there are other people, women especially, that you can broach the subject with then that would be grand as well. As a man (not british, but faced with similar consequences of mass immigration and harmful cultural influences from abroad) I can honestly say that it's more challenging than it needs to be to raise the issue, when you see and hear a bunch of western women come out and attack you for it. It's not like i'm a likely target of muslim grooming gangs or r@pists. They are. And I don't think it's possible to ever tackle the problem if the general consensus is to stubbornly refuse to talk openly about the foreign cultural and religious aspects to the problem. I mean, or course there are white, western rapists too. We can't eliminate them all, because crime will always exist. But there are sole glaring key differences between r@pists from different countries. When you've got a western man prosecuted for r@pe, he'll deny his crimes and try to prove that he's a good man who doesn't want to harm women. He knows what he did is wrong, but did it anyway out of monstrous and selfish reasons. But then you look at some of the defendants in these grooming gang scandals, and they openly claim that they've done nothing wrong. Saying that their victims are just "white british slu..ts who deserved it" because british women do not and should not conform to islam1c standards of chastity, and they're very brazen about these opinions too. Then comes the the fact that this problem is an unecessary and imported one. If immigration was significantly more limited, and higher demands were made of immigrants to abandon their home cultures and mindsets, these r@pists would never have had the opportunity to do their vile, monstrous acts. But the more we just keep the floodgates open and basically let in anyone and allow them to stay regardless of how bad they behave living here, the problem is only going to increase. I don't think it's western countries responsibility to act as safe havens for the r@pists and the criminals of the middle east and Africa. We have a right and a duty to keep them out in the effort of reducing the sexual predation on women and girls who live here, while also continuing to charge and prosecute those monsters who are born and raised here as well...

Russia is buying goods from Iran and North Korea to cover a production deficit. Note here that they are BUYING these goods, not "borrowing" them like Ukraine is forced to do. Any country at war of a large scale will face production shortages. It's easier and cheaper to buy munitions from an ally than it is to start building more factories to produce all munitions domestically. It is also strategically safer because while Ukraine might try to hit arms manufacturing in Russia in the hopes of disarming Russia, Ukraine can't attack Iran or North Korea lest they risk starting wars with these countries too.

The real estate owners quickly catch on when banks start opening their coffers of printed money, and thus ramp up the prices for homes. So not only did these minorities end up having their mortgaged homes taken away, homes in general are more expensive as a result, making it even harder to get a mortgage for one or saving up for a downpayment.

Frankly, the sooner the lore ends up in the hands of a community of dedicated hobbyists and away from GW's corporate execs, the better. 3D printing has so much potential for the hobby too. And GW being stupid, don't even try to make any changes to their obsolete business model to keep up with the technological development.

And THEN you can start teaching them about the years because by then they will have a grasp of the context.

  488. Killing yourself out of despair is what they want. It serves as a neat and tidy ending for a problem they see no reason of dealing with. Instead of suicide I'd honestly recommend that you start to cause trouble. If everyone on the brink starts causing trouble, be it through petty crime or just sabotaging the institutions, they're gonna be forced to take a look at fixing your situation. Your suicide will not cause the same incentive. The only ones you'll hurt by suicide is yourself and your loved ones, while leaving the elites to get away scot free. And yes, this may lead to jailtime for some of you. But look at it this way: it's free housing and free food and also free books, free medical care and free education. So if you're really at your wits end, then put your important belongings in storage and go out and be a troublemaker!

  513. ​ @anonony9081  I have a problem with it because casting should not solely be about acting ability. At least not when you're doing an adaption of someone elses work or when you're doing something based on history. Immersion matters for film as much as it does for any other medium. If an adaption of H.C Andersens story requires a white actress, then the person being cast should be white in order to respect the source material. And yes, I object just as much to casting non-white characters with white actors as well. Going as far back as The Lone Ranger. It was wrong to make the Lone Ranger a white man with a black mask, when he was based on an honourable black Lawman.

  514. Nope. If the definiton of a hate crime was to commit a crime against someone of a different skin colour as you, then black offenders who go after white victims would be accused of hate crime.

  526. Nordstream didn't just "get damaged". Seismographs in both Denmark and Sweden detected underwater explosions originating from the very same area where the leaks occured. A pipeline doesn't just spontaneously explode underwater. Someone detonated explosive charges down there. And i'm pretty certain that the U.S is behind it, because they want to drive a definitive wedge between Russia and the rest of Europe. The U.S consider European dependency on Russian natural gas as a liability. They can't trust the partnership with European countries if European politicians might relent and start up the gas trade with Russia again to solve their energy crisis. So they remove the pipeline permanently.

To prove that bioweapons manufacturing is happening, you need different equipment. Like big cultivation vats for the purpose of growing great quantities of viruses, bacteria and parasites inside of them. So I wouldn't just assume that because samples of anthrax were found in a biolab, it must be some sort of "smoking gun" that proves that bioweapons were being manufactured.

Their politics for example is all about using BIAS against men, because they believe that if you don't, then women will never be treated fairly. Their idea of "fairness" (equality or outcome) requires that you push men down so they can't give it their best in the competition between the sexes.

  549.  @Eidolon1andOnly  Sounds more like you're a naive moron who have absolute faith in the free market fairy. Sorry, but in the real world: employers always try to skimp on what their employees are entitled to by right of law and contract. Wherever they can squeeze a dollar and get away with it, even if it's in breach of contract or violating the law, they will attempt it. And an employee standing completely alone won't have a snowball's chance in hell to challenge it, when the employer has millions of dollars invested in a legal team to cover his tracks, while the lone employee can't afford any legal fees whatsoever. Unions are absolutely integral to intimidate and threaten employers with real, financial consequences if they step out of line, as well as making sure that employees will get help from legal counselors and knowing their rights. And you literally have zero arguments to counter this fact.

  550.  @Eidolon1andOnly  Aww, did I hurt your fragile feelings by calling you a moron? I'm so sowwy! 😢 It's quite telling that you had no counter argument to what I said. And instead you focused on ONE word that you found insulting. Very "progressive" of you. And no, i'm not a far lefty. I'm actually a business owner nowadays. But I know for a fact that free markets will never be of a net benefit to employees for a multitude of reasons. Just taking something so simple as inflation, and the fact that employers never voluntarily make a bid for pay raises that at least matches inflation without a fight, is quite telling of the mindset of employers in general. They literally think it's fair to raise the wages of their employees in a way where inflation will dig into the value of their wages, so employees will de facto work for LESS pay every year rather than more.

But like you said, he's a classical conservative. And what I hate the most about how Nato is continuing it's antagonizint and encroachment of Russia is the fact that Putin would be a powerful and ideologically sound ally to the conservative parts of the west. Also, the way Nato is going, it's pushing Putin and Russia into the arms of China. A strong and solidiaric alliance between China and Russia does not spell good things for the rest of the world, or for Russia for that matter. Because the Chinese will quickly get to work on putting Russia under it's heel like it's already done in several African countries.

  556. I heard a Ukranian refugee today on a news broadcast. He was saying that maybe it's better to just relinquish Donbass and Crimea to Putin to stop the killing. There's some merit to the idea. Eastern Ukraine in general has had a very different and pro-russian mindset for decades. Long before the Euromaidan. So it's not like there's going to be a bunch of "pro-western" Ukranians ending up "trapped" in these regions. Also, Putin and the Russians in general have stated many times that it's Crimea and Donbass they are most concerned about too. So the way I see it, Ukraine has the choice between relinquishing some land to stop the killing and remain it's own country. Or slowly being ground up into oblivion by escalating attacks from Russia. Looking at Georgia too, while they took a beating in the past for trying to push for a Nato membership (much like Ukraine was doing), Georgia still exist. The Russians took two breakaway regions that declared themselves as independent republics, so Georgia lost those. But most of Georgia remains Georgian.

Restitutions like this only matter when the agrieved party is still alive to benefit from the pardon. It does jack shit when they've been dead for decades.

So getting a low interest loan or mortgage is a way that enables you to do write-offs on your main bulk of wealth.

  581.  @plick645  Yes. Don't underestimate how ingrained the topic of class is in the british people. It doesn't matter how much they speak of equality and democracy in the modern times. Deep down, most of them still view the royal family with reverence. They still have a "House of Lords" where positions are determined by hereditary titles rather than elections. And everyone has very different expectations on people depending on if they are born from a "posh" family or a "working class" family. Granted, other European countries still officially call themselves constitutional democracies. Like Sweden and Norway for example. But at least in these countries, the royal families are barred from political office. They are simply considered as tax funded state relics, used solely for the purpose of charity missions and diplomacy. In Britain, the Queen still holds a lot of constitutional political power. Only she and the royal family doesn't exert it in much of an official capacity. Still they have way more protections and political influence than many of the other european monarchies.

So what if you or your crew aren't these super talented and educated CGI-experts from Pixar or Weta or whatever? If you have a really cool cinematic idea in your mind's eye that you want to show the viewer and AI helps you putting it on film, then it doesn't really matter to me how you put it into film. What matters is that it's there in the end and that it speaks to me. This is just one example and facet of film making of course, but I hope you get my point. The AI can't create the vision, but it can help you realize it and that's the kind of stuff that I want to see AI be used for. Another analogy would be with music and a composer. The composer may not be able to play every instrument, but he can still write good music. It can also be translated to games development. I want a future where AI can help decentralize the development of films and games from the "culture capitals" like Hollywood, so that everyone can make a game or a movie as long as they have a good idea for one that they believe in. The cultural landscape will be far more interesting and have more perspectives and angles when the creative process isn't solely in the hands of experts in the practical departments

Why care about other places national sovreignty and security, when you can sabotage other countries for the purpose of making a buck by exploiting their natural resources or cheap labour under your control? All by the Nato playbook.

  639. There's a lot of scientific merit to the idea that allergies and other kinds of immuno-disorders are caused by overly clean lifestyles, especially for children. So it's not a bad idea to be subjected to germs when you're a kid. Your immunesystem NEEDS pathogens to fight in order to recognize the actually harmful pathogens and toxins from the harmless. So if you're a kid and your home and your life is too clean, it's no wonder why your body might suddenly believe that ingesting peanuts is a massive threat to your body. Whereas if your body had to deal with a lot of germs and parasites at a young age, it won't confuse peanuts with something that's really harmful.

That concern never seems to cross their minds when they're busy beating people up in the street, burning down buildings and go about their crusade to "seize the means of production".

  644.  @BurkeanMama  It is definitely how competition works in a saturated market. If there are more restaurants around than there is demand for their services, it always means that they will have to compete with prices. Offering food services for less pay per customer. And when the restaurants are earning less per customer, it means they have to impose company austerity measures in order to make a profit. Which means resorting to underhanded and shady practices like forcing employees to work more for less pay, or utilizing illegal labour from illegal immigrants. If there is only a small number of restaurants where tables are always fully booked, the demand exceeds the supply and the restaurants can afford to increase prices for food, and are able to turn a good profit while still paying their employees decent wages and ensuring that working conditions are humane. How this objective fact of market mechanics flew over your head, I can only speculate.

  654. If the average quality if life is already good, then what's the incentive to keep the economic growing? I don't really believe it's desirable to maintain a constant upwards curve or that indefinite economic growth is possible. It's OKAY if the curve flattens out a little bit. Economic growth is necessary if the quality of life for the population is absolutely dreadful. That's a reason to improve it. But if people are pretty much fine, then there's no real reason to strive for more and more. It's enough to simply seek to maintain the current position

  657. If Australia wants nuclear weapons, let them have it. Few things have contributed so much to global stability than nuclear weapons. The reason is obvious: you can't bully or mess with a country at a whim using your military if that country has nukes. Even if your military is much stronger. Because even the biggest military spenders in the world worry about someone setting off a nuclear weapon on their home soil. So the world should not have "less" nukes. If anything there should be MORE nukes in the world.

What worries me the most is how some countries are pushing for vaccine passports. I'm not getting vaccinated, and I don't like the idea of being turned into a second class citizen for not being vaccinated. Playing along with masks and PCR tests is one thing. Getting jabbed with a highly dubious vaccine with unknown complications by force is another thing entirely.

Are they to be celebrated for always thinking "me first!" at the cost of other countries' taxpayers?

  673. Leftists made their own bed here. There was a time when most of the right wing had conceded the argument about abortions. They might not have liked abortions on principle, but as long as abortions were rare, took place as early as possible in the fetal development and was generally treated as a "necessary evil" in extreme circumstances, most rightwingers seemed to be content to look the other way and not challenge Roe v Wade. But then the leftists had to turn into these disgusting Satanists who practically worshipped the act of abortion and constantly pushed and shifted the legal boundaries for it, and now look what happened! Rightwingers are more galvanized against abortion than ever, and at least two states in the U.S have de facto banned it, circumventing the supreme court decision from Roe v Wade. Some idiots (leftists) just don't know when to quit.

But Nato governments and the msm have all collectively tried to brand him as a lying propagandist and warmongering dictator throughout. It makrs you wonder: what other lies about "innocent underdog Ukraine" have they told us? Maybe it's worth looking into what the Ukranian government has been doing in Donbass for the last eight years? Maybe it's worth trying to find out what the "freedom loving" Euromaidan activists were up to during the revolt?

  680. As much as I hate Twitter, most of this just make me think that heads need to roll over at the FBI. This whole hearing just looks like government chastising a private company for getting strongarmed BY the government. When the freaking FBI starts sending you emails telling you that this or that account needs to be deleted or this or that news story needs to be taken down, it's a bit rich when congress complains that you followed orders from the FBI. I mean, what sort of risks do you incur on your company by refusing? Will the FBI with all it's Washington pull just let you off the hook if you tell them to f*ck off? I doubt it.

  681.  @Melian_Dialogue  No they're not. But you have to understand that the customer and service provider relationship is very specific. Some customers are Karens, yes, but as long as they shop at the store, the employer will want their business. Then you have to factor in the much broader customer base of normies who will basically just see an employee being disrespectful towards customers without a reprimand and might take their business elsewhere. If you want to complain about annoying customers in private among a group of friends then that's more than reasonable. I worked in retail twice, and even the managers complained about certain kinfs of annoying customers in the breakroom with me to blow off steam, so most of them will be understanding too. But you just can't be "public" about it, because there's real risks of losing customers involved if you don't keep up appearances That's just the reality of retail. The profit margins aren't that great in general, so you can't really afford to lose customers just to allow employees to badmouth them over social media. And if your need to do this is so great, there are plenty of other businesses where there's more freedom to it (like being maintenance techs, which I am now. While customer service likes to handle customer relations, they understand that we might get grumpy enough to call tennants retards to their faces, but it's not like the tennants can take their business elsewhere because of it)

  688. Food for thought: what if an AI was given the ability to infiltrate third party software down to people's individual hardware? Consider this. Let's say you use a chat software to talk to your mum. The AI infiltrates your devices, then it deletes your chat app and installs an AI generated duplicate with all your contacts. Only it blocks your communication with your real, human contacts and replace them with AI generated contacts designed to mimic your real life contacts. They converse with you in a manner that is similar to what your real contacts would, because the AI has spent a few months to study their behaviour and so it can accurarely replicate them in a convincing manner that makes it hard for you to distinguish the fakes from the real thing. Then it subtly starts to influence your own behaviour. Maybe your "mum" asks you to send money somewhere, or to vote for someone or to follow a social media influencer... Consider the implications for a moment.

  697. I'd propose the question to be: when does personhood begin? What defines a person? Breaking it down to it's most basic component, a person is a living entity with individual human DNA distinct from other persons DNA. A fetus fulfill all of the criteria for personhood. The fetus is alive. The fetus has a DNA distinct from both mother and father. The fetus DNA is human. Whether the fetus is "conscious" or not is irrelevant. You'll be charged with murder if you kill an unconscious or even a braindead person in a hospital. You'll also be charged with DOUBLE murder if you kill a pregnant woman REGARDLESS of how far or long her pregnancy has gotten. Stage of development is also irrelevant. That's merely a question of age. If it's illegal to kill an infant baby, despite the infant being younger than you, then killing a fetus must logically be equally illegal because the only difference is that the fetus is younger than the infant child

  708. The reason Trump and Brexit happened, is because the lefty liberals were sure that neither would happen. They thought that the opposition was smaller than it was. But having learned those lessons, they will ensure nothing like it happens again. There are no elections they wouldn't rig, no false narratives the msm wouldn't spread to "further their agenda". There is no light at the end of the tunnel for right wingers in the US at this point. Every republican candidate after this will be "democrat lite", because the RINOS are now too scared of a repetition of the Trump presidency. The only options for MAGA-folk at this point is capitulation and perpetual humiliation, or civil war.

Sauron had to use brute force and the threat of violence and horrible death to get the orcs and the haradrim and easterlings to join forces. And even then, there would still be the eventual split between Sarumans Uruk-hai and the Orcs of Mordor. If the cultures of middle earth required sorcerers with almost godlike powers to get these cultures to cooperate and intermingle, then it's not very multicultural.

I mean, even if you hate Putin, you can't honestly say that it's in either his interests or the interests of any russian citizen whatsoever, now can you? You might also want to keep in mind that Nato promised not to move further east than eastern germany. We all know how that promise went. So in what universe does it make sense for Russia to just stand by and watch as country after country closer and closer to their border gets turned into a Nato puppet? Are you seriously going to make the claim that Nato has only "the best of intentions" and would NEVER do anything that might threaten Russian sovreignty if given the chance? 🤣

  714. They say that vindictive capital punishment doesn't reduce crime. To that I say: it's not the point to reduce crime. Crime prevention doesn't stem from the penal system, but rather through steering young people away from crime, making sure law abiding citizens can protect themselves, and increasing security on the streets. The point of capital punishment is to benefit the victims and their loved ones. Part of the erosion of trust in society is directly linked to the fact that the "justice" system doesn't properly penalize violent offenders. People need to see that offenders get punished in order to have faith in and fostering a desire to work with the justice system.

  724. Trust me, due to how hard the establishment has indoctrinated children with LGBT-lobbyism, we're gonna see A LOT of stories of people starting out as "gay" only to realize that they are straight. Milo could be one out of many early examples of it. The idea that you can only "come out" as gay, and that makes you permanently gay is a silly notion, influenced by leftist rhetoric. The fact that Milo's mannerisms are still somewhat effeminate is no proof in and of itself that he has to be gay still. It can be a result of simply that's all he knows. Young boys knowing nothing of stoic masculinity also behave in effeminate and gender-confused ways a lot after all. If Milo has been going since childhood thinking he's gay, he won't just be able to adopt masculine mannerisms like flicking a switch.

The truth is far more frightening - Nobody is in control. The world is rudderless." -Alan Moore

  755. I'm not on board with banning parties on ideological grounds. A principled democracy has to accept the risk of getting voted out, even if it means that communists or national socialists end up getting voted into power and then proceeds to abolishing democracy. That said, the state should reserve powers for dealing with radicalist groups who don't go through the democratic process to get into public office first. You need police with authority to quell violent riots and civil unrest. I don't care if it means summary arrests, dispersing "protesters" or using violence, up to lethal violence to get them to stop. At the same time, the police must be trained in picking out the trouble makers from the larger herds of protesters, otherwise every protest can be sabotaged by infiltrators who show up to cause trouble in order to trigger a response from the police to disperse every single protest that takes place. I don't care how you do it. Even if you have to put police snipers on the rooftops to shoot individuals who start breaking windows or setting fires. The full force of the state must come down like a ton of bricks on anyone who breaks the law during a protest.

A 9mm will mess you up. But a 5.7 will mess you up even while wearing body armour with a rating below NIJ III and IV

Russia calls the shots in Crimea now and have set up a cordon. That's the way it is. Don't come crying if you get shot at while violating it.

  782. I don't see what's ironic about going to russia for free speech. Russia hasn't been clamping down on free speech. If you look into it, you may note that no Russian court has demanded that any news organisation or publisher to be shut down or cease operations in Russia. The only thing the courts have done is force certain disingenous publications to disclose their financial backers and to publicly admit when they are being funded by international NGO's (like the various foundations owned by George Soros) so every reader and viewer knows where they get their money from, and can make up their own minds about whether that financial backing may influence the writings being published or not. Another issue is that Russia has banned NGO's from directing LGBT lobbyism towards children. Again, hardly a freedom of speech abuse since children should not be subjected to sexual materials and lobbyism to begin with. Freedom of speech applies to adults, not kids.

  797. Jack Murphy was a certified lunatic long before this meltdown. For example he unironically wrote articles about how rape is "man's gift to women" and basically saying that women enjoy to be raped. Also, some pointers for any people who take advice from "the manosphere" and may come across Jack Murphy-like people in it: a real alpha male doesn't constantly have to tell everyone that he's an alpha male. Real alpha males are certainly assertive and have a domineering presence, yes. But they're rarely braggarts and loudmouths. Their capacity to be assertive and take charge is usually more of an unspoken behaviour that doesn't contain verbal rationalization or excuses. So if you are looking for a role model and feel insecure and misguided, look to men who you just naturally look up to without them directly telling you why they're so great and alpha all the time.

  823.  @Eidolon1andOnly  Actually no, the unions who succumb to Marxist ideals are usually the ones considered to be failures, since they operate on false pretenses. In my nations history, the unions have mostly had clear goals in mind about securing workers rights and making sure that the pay raises to the employees match the success of the company overall. Their goal isn't to "seize the means of production" but to ensure that workers are paid their fair share, and don't end up getting stiffed of what they are owed. If you're gonna complain about some unions being infiltrated by marxists, then where are your complaints about employers resorting to unethical business practices who still end up staying in business and turning handsome profits despite their misdeeds? Because the latter is far more common than the former. The free market fairy is absolute shit at sanitizing the market from bad actors.
    2
  824.  @justonecornetto80  Maybe so, but that's not a reason to dismiss trade unions altogether. Normally a contract with a trade union ensures security for the employer as well. The contract stipulates that workers don't go on strikes or engage in a challenge against the employer for the duration of the contract. Employees who are treated fairly don't go on strikes or unionize. It's really that simple. And as for bringing the economy to it's knees: cry me a river. Unethical employers don't respond to "peaceful" action. If you're not hurting wallets, you never get them to listen. They only understand the language of money and if your action don't cause them to lose money, they have no incentive to change.

Which is completely fair since all of them who have been served with this court order are on the payroll of the usual suspects (George Soros, American media conglomerates etc.) How "evil" and "censorious" it is too force smear merchants to disclose who's paying them, right? 🤣 I could only dream of having such enforced transparency in the West.

And 90 % of companies who smack you with a "terms and conditions" page or EULA have NOT had their documents run by a competent lawyer.

  851. We don't want to stop offering "free stuff". Because we made the free stuff work quite well for a long time. The issues didn't begin with the "free stuff", it began with rampant and limitless immigration. The system of welfare in place was created with the explicit premise that a vast majority of people worked and paid taxes, so a minority of people who were unable to work didn't have to end up on the streets as homeless and destitute. Specifically people like the elderly, the sick and injured and people who lost their current job and temporarily need support until they can find a new job and start contributing again. When we only had this group recieving "free stuff" things were working just fine. But you can't just drop hundreds of thousands of people from abroad, who never paid taxes here and who also stay chronically unemployed for various reasons and for several years and expect such a fragile and limitef system of welfare to be able to take care of all newcomers just as well as the natives. So the problem isn't the welfare system. It never was. The problem was the immigration policy and allowing immigrants fulll access to a system they never paid into.

The reason for asking is, I know how most fathers feel about already. But when you look at voter demographics in western countries, there's a clear pattern of the female voters generally voting more for open borders and multiculturalism, whereas the male voters tend to be more pro-patriotic and wanting to reduce mass immigration, especially from countries ehwre the cultural values differ widely from their own home countries. That's why I'm looking for the female perspective. How the discussions are going among women, and if there's any changes to the statistical voting demographics going. I know what the feminists think already since they're pretty loud and vocal about their beliefs as it is. I'm more interested in the perspectives of less radicalized women at this particular juncture. That's all it is really. Didn't expect it to trump up such massive controversy.

I did it after watching all the non-white races engage in in-group preference, and so I came to realize I have to start doing the same or white people will be wiped out. I don't want to be wiped out. And I don't want to wipe out any other race either. But I have to stick by my people whenver there is a racial conflict.

  864. It does make sense. Nato powers and their non nato allies have always seen Russia as a thorn in their sides. They've always harboured global ambitions of control and dominance. A western world order if you will. Russia is a country with enough military force to stand in the way of that ambition. So when Russia invaded Ukraine, it gave western powers a golden opportunity to hurt Russian military and finances without having to send any troops of their own to do it. They can instead rely on their Ukrainian proxy fighters to do the deed for them.

Because this idiotic debate about "representation" wasn't going on as much back then. But now, whenever you see one you know that it's a "diversity hire" with no real merit.

  870. The only way that a baby shortage will "hurt the economy" is the fact that employees will have greater power and leverage over employers. Less workers on the market = employers have to offer higher wages to attract workers to their busineses. And that's the only reason why the msm is complaining. If you don't make more babies and ensure a steady stream of cheap labour to the corpo's, then the corpo presidents won't be able to affors buying 12 new luxury yachts every year! 😱

  871.  @skylinefever  This is actually why both the fiscal right and the left loves immigration. To fiscal rightwingers, open borders mean more cheap labour to exploit, so you can leave your native employees in the dirt. The leftwingers love open borders because the more migrants they can bring in, the more welfare dependant voting cattle they can make out of them to ensure that the left stay in power forever. So it doesn't matter if you're dealing with leftwingers or rightwingers. They both hate you and want to stab you in the back in some way. Only nationalists and patriots truly care about your origin and your right to YOUR country being above the "rights" that migrants supposedly have to it.

  875. The deficit of homegrown food is a product of capitalist economies. Once the economy moves beyond agrarian, the capitalist ventures tend to move away from food production and into more profitable ventures, with everyone thinking that they can just import food cheaply from abroad. The capitalist mindset never takes sudden catastrophes or blockades into account and usually end up getting caught with their pants down durinh a war or similar disaster event. That's why any responsible country needs subsidized food production. I don't care if it costs the taxpayers to have the government ensuring that farmers keep farming and produce food in tonnage levels that are sufficient to feed the population, regardless of imports. It's better than the alternative. Like an insurance policy for everyones dinner table.

Not sure how it'll go, but I'd like to impart some of the smokiness from the whisky into the meat. In my mind's eye, it should be quite tasty

You don't send the first functioning satellite into orbit in mankinds history, nor do you perform the first manned spaceflight if you're anti-science. If you're gonna dunk on the Soviet Union then give shit where it is actually due, instead of using the USSR as some sort of easy scapegoat for everything you think is bad. Because frankly it's no different than from what the lefties do when they label everything they don't like as Hitler or Nazism.
    2
  890.  @andreivaughn1468  Yes I was just speaking in general terms as well. And I've heard stories directly from russians who's parents and grand parents lived in the USSR. There weren't many horror stories about mass starvation or empty store shelves at all. They admitted that during some weeks, certain commodities might be in shortage. Like one week it was hard to get razor blades. Another it might be hard to get any tomatoes. But it definitely wasn't like the whole history of the USSR was just a decades long famine like the liberal pundits on youtube try to portray it as. And frankly this demonization is really counter-productive to current geopolitical problems as well, because Russians tend to feel attacked when faced with the extreme smearing of their history which is a source of pride for most of them. I have a hard time seeing how rightwingers in the west will ever benefit from basically driving the Russian majority into the arms of China the way it's going on now. Western rightwingers got plenty in commom with modern Russians, especially in the conservative values department. After all, Russia is not facing any sort of epidemic of "wokeness". THE WEST IS! Western children are being victimized and indoctrinated by the LGBTQ-lobby. Russian children are not. So I gotta wonder what these western "classical liberals" have to be so smug about?

  893. @sisuphos The wealth is not really appealing to me. I believe in honest work, so I don't assume nor do I want to be spoiled by a more wealthy woman. It does depend on where I am in life of course. I can't have children with a woman who is no longer fertile, so for family building purposes I wouldn't be able to commit. But the way this article was framed it sounded more like this older model was basically looking for a fling and not to start (another) family. And so I maintain that if Monica came to me looking for a fling, and i'm being single myself, then I wouldn't turn her down due to the fact that she's twice my age. Because "older" doesn't necessarily equate to "unattractive" in my view.

A woman who could give birth to several children was a treasured resource. But most women couldn't.

  905. I believe Putin and Russian troop movements and exercises are mostly about an optics war. He knows that western intelligence and Ukranian military are both watching. The stationing of troops at the border is Putin saying "This is how fast we can deploy an invasion force ready to go in and take Kiev", this to deter Kiev from entertaining the idea of applying for a Nato membership, because if they do, Ukraine will be annexed. And there's not much Nato seems willing to do about it, which Putin already knows. He did this to show Ukraine and the world just how weak Nato's response would be.

  911. Personally I can't really relate to being proud of anything you exerted no control over. As in the case of achievements of ancestors. I had no say in what they did since I wasn't even born at the time, so I can't take any pride from that since their achievements are theirs alone. I think a more accurate feeling would be veneration. I venerated my ancestors for the good deeds they did, and may strive to emulate their example. This same dynamic, of course, applies to bad things they did as well. My duty as a descendant is to venerate the good parts, while also doing my best not to repeat the bad ones, and hopefully contribute to making our society better. And I don't think veneration has to be mutually exclusive to condemnation either. One can certainly venerate just, moral and good actions of a person, while also condemning the unjust, immoral and evil acts of the same person (to a reasonable limit, for example no amount of good deeds would excuse child molestation in my opinion) Pride is something I reserve for my own actions and achievements, as well as the actions and achievements of my own descendants. Since I can make a reasonable claim that I played a part through my own action into their development and subsequent actions.

  912.  @nforne  It probably wasn't as nice for your parents though. Living under the perpetual threat of nuclear war between Nato and the USSR. For us who grew up as kids in the 90's and were born in the late 80's you definitely had a sense that our parents and a lot of adults were kind of happy, hopeful and celebratory in a way. Because the Berlin wall got torn down and divisions between the east and west were mending. Of course all of that is over now that the east and the west are on the warpath again.
    2
  913.  @nforne  Of course. I mostly adressed the parents here because a lot of parents, and sometimes schoolteachers, understandably did what they could to shelter children from their own fears. But a lot of kids would naturally be aware of the giant exclamation mark that is The bomb as well. Today kids are brainwashed with little attempt at sheltering with global climate crisis. So for me being a kid in the 90's, I kinda feel that I was an in betweener. The threat of nuclear war was gone for the most part (usually only visible within movie fiction) and the radical greens had yet to gain much clout or traction. And again, everyone was pretty happy that the Cold war was over. So it was a decent period of time to grow up in.

And I can tell them how many people put to death and the reasoning behind it. The vast majority of children will get the picture and reach their own conclusion. So there is no need for loaded words like good or evil to do it.

  926. "The average person isn't doing the jobs that the immigrants are doing" Could it have something to do with the fact that employers in these lines of work offer slave wages which an average englishman can't afford to live on, but thanks to government subsidies to migrants, migrants can actually afford to live on? Hypothetically speaking, let's say the government closed the borders and pulled all immigrant labour subsidies in full, how many immigrants would be available to do these jobs for slave wages? The answer is: none. And if stingy employers no longer have the option of exploiting cheap immigrant labour through paying slave wages, then what would the employers have to do to recruit a workforce to be able to stay in business? The answer is: they'd have to pay what average englishmen need to be able to live off their wages.

  933. Starting out with individual dwellings seems like the wrong way to go about it if you ask me. Not very practical. If I were to attempt it, I think setting up a communal sleeping barracks at first would be more practical. The you have to get crop fields and a steady supply of drinking water going first. Once this is taken care or, you can start looking at erecting individual dwellings. The most fair way would be through a raffle lottery whereby every prospective household enters their names. And the winner gets their home erected first with the help of the entire community. Once the first individual dwelling is done you move on to the next one and so on. If for whatever reason anyone who already has a dwelling decides to leave or not participate in the building of other dwellings, they are kicked out or leave on their own accord, and the next one up in the raffle moves into the vacant dwelling. And you keep doing this until all the members of the commune have their personal dwellings.

So while I might abhor military invasions like this, I can still understand the Russian perspective on the matter. They didn't just invent this casus belli out of thin air. The real tragedy here is why the U.S just absolutely refuse to solve problems diplomatically and that they always plot and scheme against countries who they can't exert control over.

While the general attitude in society might be different towards men and women respectively, my rational mindset find it difficult to judge a woman for having a similar sexual past to my own. I don't feel like i'm being "fair" judging a woman's past more harshly than I judge my own. So I'd at least be willing to give the benefit of the doubt to a woman like that, so long as I feel confident that she's a different person now, in the same manner as I'm a different person today. I don't feel like I have a right to sleep around as much as I have, while also condemning every woman who has a sexually active past, so long as it actually stays in the past. At the end of the day, I don't consider myself a "stud" for having slept with several women. My attitude towards it is more of lamentation over the fact that sometimes I exercised poor judgement with one night stands, and the other times represents relationship "failures" for me, since those sexual encounters eventually lead to an ending of the relationships in question.

While you can make the argument that Putin has been making rash decisions and been overly aggressive, this conflict has not sprung from a vacuum. The problem is that you won't find any msm coverage of what's been going on in Donbass for the past 8 years. And you won't find any english articles about what happened in Odessa during the Euromaidan. It's not simply a matter of "Ukraine just wants to join the west". There's more to it than that.

  982. I'm sorry, but the U.S government has been pulling some provocative strings leading up to the war in Ukraine. I disagree with the Russian invasion, but at the same time their casus belli is not unwarranted. American representatives and military advisors have been cozying up with Ukraine for years. Like the Biden family inserting itself with Ukrainian policy makers and McCain going over there promising the Ukrainian military that they will feast on Russian blood in the near future. If americans want to wash their hands of this, then maybe you shouldn't have american officials going to foreign countries, grooming them into becoming puppet states and military allies? Maybe you should focus more on protecting your own borders rather than interfering with foreign countries all the time?

  985. Yes, the one good thing Biden has done is making employers realize that they need workers to run their businesses. Employers have for too long treated workers as disposable labour.

They need to cut back on their luxury yacht spending habits to get a new one every 10 or 20 years perhaps.

"Muh magna carta" does not change the fact that the British have demonstrated tyrannical behaviour and regimes on multiple occasions. And again, that's not exactly different from any other country so they're not "worse" than anybody else. But they have no factual basis for making the claim to be better than anyone else either.

China and Russia as close allies mean some serious hard times for the west and most likely for Russia as well, looking at how China deals with it's other "allies". The Russian people in general definitely prefer to be friends with Westerners over Chinese too, and being friends with Russia would mean a greater position of strength against the nefarious ambitions of the Chinese. So why the hell are western people trying to vilify Russia? It makes zero sense.

Even if it means infiltrating woke companies and playing along in order to gather those paychecks. The higher we climb careerwise, the more influence we will get in the end. What we absolutely must not do is resign from careers due to our disgust of woke corporate culture, because that is exactly what globalists want. They want us to be unemployed, poor and propertyless so they can dictate all terms and set all rules because they hold all the key positions and make the most money.

  1007. Russians aren't that anti-social though. From speaking to Russian ex-pats, one thing they all told me about is how strange they found it that neighbours in western countries seem so isolated from eachother. Yes, the brutalist hab blocks of Russia may look depressing. But what tenants would do to spruce things up is set up some greenery near the bottom floors, and neighbours (as in not relatives) would go into these communal spaces with greenery to hang out in the afternoons, chit-chatting, gossiping, playing chess, drinking beer and maybe do some barbecue. You know, the "squatting slav" stereotype, hanging out with some neighbours, eating sunflower seeds and having a beer. But when you look at the west, how many tenants of apartment buildings actually "talk" or hang out with eachother? At best they might say hello if they bump into eachother in the staircase or elevators, but otherwise they keep themselves completely isolated from eachother. As a western person myself, I too feel instinctually that it would be strange to have communal gatherings between neighbours in the afternoons when the workday is over. But for slavs, that's completely normal and a form of local community building.

  1013. I don't like the culture of competitive martial arts of today. It's too centered around spectacle, self-aggrandizement and smacktalk. I much prefer the pugilist ideals of early heavyweight boxing, where fighters ascribed to a code of humility and decency while doing the work of pummeling eachother senseless. I recall an instance where one boxer even helped his opponent to his feet after a knockout and spoke words of gratitude to his opponent, thanking him for a good fight. Those are ideals to aspire to. Not to become some loudmouthed braggart like todays fighters are.

  1014. I don't see any harm in itself that more people prefer to get news from social media content creators rather than the big mainstream media companies. If you follow a content creator, you can usually develop a good feel for whether they're trustworthy or not. A content creator that frequently lies and misrepresent news stories end up being called out on it most of the time. But with the random "news anchors" and their faceless and unknown editors and news teams, why should anyone trust them? Especially seeing as how they have frequently been exposed as misrepresenting news stories and overtly pushing political propaganda time and time again. They have destroyed their own reputation as "objective" news deliverymen. They made their bed, now they can lie in it.

  1015. Masculinity is using your biological gifts of superior strength to better your lot in life, but for the purpose of improving and protecting the lives of others, using your own family as the starting point. If your success only allows for your own improvement, then you pursue that. If your success allow you to get a family and improve their lot in life, then you pursue that. If your success allows you to improve the lot of your employees in your company, the citizens of your country, the subjects in your kingdom or even empire, then you will pursue it. Whenever a man achieves power that would afford him to help others, but he spends it solely on himself and indulging in luxuries, then he stops being masculine.

  1024.  @renkol123  You're not allowed to vote for policies. Only parties. And when some parties have a monopoly on certain policies that you agree with/need, a lot of people feel they have to vote for that party, even if the party in question also promotes policies you dislike or even hate. That is a thing with the Social Democrats in Sweden. Basically they have monopolized the issues of workers rights, labour code and so on. Legislation and policies that a lot of people depend on to get by. Sadly they also took the woke pill, so they are (unofficially now) pro-immigration. So the choice you're left with is either you vote for them and try to keep the labour code and welfare intact. While having to suffer the effects of migration. Or, you vote them out of office, but then risk getting a rightwing government who will immediately proceed to start chopping up the labour code and destroy tax funded institutions that people depend on, just so they can give some tax breaks to the ultra wealthy and themselves. They did it before after all, when they regretfully got into office for eight years... Oh and back then the rightwingers also were pro-immigration because they could use it to get cheap labour and undermine the labour code, since migrants don't know their rights nor are they likely to join any unions. So I wouldn't trust those assholes further than I can spit. This is the predicament that a lot of people find themselves in. Me, I vote for the "racist" party who want to stop this crap. But while they are the fastest growing party in the country, it's a long way to go before they would have a majority in parliament. Also, because of this whole war in Ukraine thing, they've taken a hit in the polls. Because now immigration is a "good thing" again, so the bleeding hearts liberals can "save Ukrainian women and children".

Because as a nationalist myself, I don't really like the idea of private companies disingenously trying to exploit the flag of my country or my national identity to hawk their cheap crap to me. It's insulting.

If you deprive a child of ever going to a funeral when one of their relatives dies, then you're denying that child a fundamentally human and formative experience. How the hell can these morons become "Ethics professors" when they don't even understand the most basic and rudimentary knowledge of anthropology? Put them up against a wall and end them now please.

Then when there is an election and a Republican candidate naturally see that the public spending has to be slashed in order to fix the state finances and taxation: imagine this candidates uphill battle of trying to convince a bunch of impoverished people dependant on welfare programmes that he's gonna take those welfare programmes away from them. Meanwhile the democrat candidate will preach about giving new extentions to these programs with sunset clauses to keep the public spending up.

  1032.  @thomaslacroix6011  Call me sentimental but I think we should treat livestock way better in general, even if we still eat them. I hate the vile practice of factory farming and I wouldn't mind at all if the price of meat got increased if it means offering a better life for livestock before slaughter. The slaughter methods could also do with a lot of improvement and reduced bureaucracy. I find that the whole industry presents a glaring matter of hypocrisy. For example, if children starts exhibiting behaviours of torturing animals, then we see it as a risk of developing psychopathy (on well founded grounds). But for some reason, we allow animal torture in the factory farming industry and no one bats an eye. We benefit as a species and as a society by trying to reduce harm and suffering towards animals. It helps along developing our morality. That doesn't mean I want to end the practice of eating meat, not at all. It just means that we can definitely afford to provide a better life for the creatures who make the ultimate sacrifice to provide us with meat.

  1034.  @viysnjor4811  Yep. Release all cows and pigs. Suddenly a lot of big cats, wolves, bears and the like will be saturated with new food sources. Big cats, wolves and bears will multiply a lot more than before on account of the abundant food source. They will encroach on eachothers territories more, and that of other animal species. Then the released cows and pigs will eventually be hunted to extinction by these predators since they are too domesticated to be able to evolve into a more feral state. This will cause predators to starve to death, fight eachother for expanding territories, possibly cause them to get desperate and attack human settlements and so on. It would be a short period of plenty for predators as the released livestock is being eaten. But once the livestock runs out it will be a long perios of suffering for the predators.

  1038. I would say that I have a nihilistic world view. But it's balanced by a strong sense of family and national pride. Since my worldview is devoid of divinity, I've found most comfort and purpose in supporting my kin and preserving the legacy of my ancestors. Gods are too abstract and arbitraty to me. But my parents, my siblings, my nieces, my woman and my daughter, these are real. And I feel connected to them in a way that isn't easily explained, and I want to be there for them as well as rely on them during those moments I need support as well. Same thing with my country and culture. These provide the context of where I and my family came from. Our cultures peculiarities are distinct and deeply ingrained. I wouldn't be able to feel "at home" outside of it. At the end of the day I do understand that in an intellectual level, the universe doesn't operate with a discernable purpose. But unlike other nihilists out there, I don't see why that should be a reason to be depressed all the time and live without a purpose. I am a man. And as a man it is my duty to attempt to reshape my surroundings into something I find subjectively more appealing. The universe may be without a purpose in it's default configuration... SO GO OUT THERE AND CREATE SOME PURPOSE DAMNIT!

  1054.  @garygarside9782  Well on principle, I agree to some extent. But I think there should be a debate about the "threat of violence" argument. Because a lot of the Twitterati and lefty figures often claim to be targeted by "threats of violence", yet they never show examples of tweets or posts of it. From a philosophical view i'm not sure I think a mere threat should be illegal in and of itself. However if someone is issuing threats or violence, it should be a cause for police to conduct surveillance of that person and spy on them just to make sure that they don't make reality of those threats. Furthermore, if you recieve threats of violence from someone, I think it's fair that courts will be lenient or even acquit you if you used lethal force against that person in self defense. After all, he or she threatened you first, so you have no way of knowing if their intentions are real or not, and so it should be within your rights to take forceful precautions against that person. But this debate has no bearing on Musk taking over Twitter really, because naturally Twitter must abide by the law.

  1057.  @robbradshaw1415  If you follow the papertrail you'd know how much money and resources that the USSR pumped into it's satellite states. States that were mostly primitive, agrarian societies populated by farmers with low literacy rates. Ukraine included. So it's kinda funny seeing the soviet bloc states moaning about the evils of socialism and russia, when these countries not only got vastly improved in terms if infrastructure, education and medicine all paid for by Moscow basically, but even TO THIS VERY FUCKING DAY still use large parts of buildings and infrastructure that was raised by the USSR, again, mostly with money from Moscow. So yeah, it's hilarious. Kind of like watching that scene from Life of Brian where "The Peoples Front of Judea" sit around and scoff "What have the Romans ever done for us?"

  1058.  @robbradshaw1415  No, but I still find it funny that they were happy to take the money and the socialist infrastructure projects and use them to this day, while simultaneously bitching about "the horrors of socialism" and blaming everything on Russia.
    1
  1059.  @robbradshaw1415  Nope. I'm not a socialist apologetic. Socialism is dysfunctional and fiscally unviable in the long term. But the facts are the facts, Ukraine benefitted from the USSR's investments into it. And they still reap rewards from those investments to this day. As did Estonia, Poland and a lot of other former soviet countries. Without the influence of the USSR, many of these countries would be poor, agrarian countries with low literacy rates to this day. The USSR was authoritarian and didn't have much respect for national sovreignty, but it damn sure drove those countries into the industrialized age and didn't shirk from using funds gathered from the Russian treasury to see it done. So my advice to you is: give shit where shit is due, but also credit where credit is due. The reality is always more nuanced than ideological dogma.

  1060.  @somethingsomething8511  Well yes, when you're in a deficit and don't cut back on spending, printing money is the only recourse, that's correct. It's either that or raise taxes to clamp down on the deficit. I was more thinking in the terms of the plan outside of the context of a deficit. If we discount the deficit for a moment, then one could argue that by handing out covid relief which disincentivize people from working, while still keeping the tax pressure up on businesses, you'd either force the businesses out of the country. Or you'd force businesses to pay higher salaries in order to incentivize people to work rather than live off the covid relief money. It does seem that part of the latter has occured since business owners in the U.S are complaining that they can't find employees, and plenty of restaurant and shop windows have "help wanted" signs up. So if it wasn't for the decifit, I'd have to concede that Biden is doing the workers a service by turning the job market into a sellers market for in favor of employees. But the current deficit is an inevitable turd in the cupcake in that regard, making the plan unsustainable.

  1061.  @somethingsomething8511  I'm not saying it's a method that can be used perpetually. But if it is used as a temporary measure to achieve a goal like improving wages by effectively making it impossible for businesses to run while paying slave wages, it does seem to have the desired effect right now. Some businesses would pack up and leave to find more favourable tax regulations in other countries. But not all businesses can afford to move their entire operation abroad, so you can essentially blackmail them into increasing wages through temporary measures... And once again, so long as you're not currently in a 2,1 trillion dollar deficit. The thing about money in the U.S is that the most wealthy are creating an artificial shortage of money by hoarding most of the wealth for themselves. Due to previous and current regulations they are able to run off with insane amounts of profits while leahing employees in the dirt. Especially by dodging taxes through tax planning and funneling profits into off shore tax havens. Effectively turning the U.S job market into a buyers market in favor of the employers.

  1062.  @somethingsomething8511  You fundamentally do not understand how legislation works. If you wanted, you could put the squeeze on the multinationals only. That said, I seriously doubt you'd drive out the small businesses out of the country, since they are the least likely to be able to afford moving their businesses out of the country. They'll either file for bankruptcy or they'll adapt. Also considering that Jeff Bezos has a personal wealth exceeding 200 billion dollars (as in personal slush money and not "corporate investment" money), claiming that multinational companies only have a bare minimum to work with is a bit strong. You can very much target big businesses if you want to with targeted legislation. Trump did it to the auto manufacturing industry shen they tried to outsource their manufacturing to Mexico.

  1117.  @ifanmorgan8070  Those are normally brand names, not dishes. "Champagne" is not a food. "Champagne" is just sparkly wine created in a certain region that has had the name copyrighted. Plenty of other countries also produce sparkly wine that will taste almost exactly the same as Champagne, but they can't call it Champagne due to it being more of a brand name than anything. It's not comparable to a dish, like for example: Tikka Masala or Swedish Meatballs. Because an individual dish is not a brand, it's just a recipe with literally thousands of variations to it. If an american fries Swedish Meatballs in the U.S, using a traditional recipe or something they made up, it's not like he's forbidden from calling it "Swedish Meatballs". But Swedes who know full well what they should contain, look like and taste like will say that he can't cook Swedish Meatballs. It doesn't mean he or she "infringed on Swedish culture" it just means he or she is a bad chef and that's all there is to it.

  1123.  @harleymitchelly5542  Personally, I like the backlash. I gave the left a fair chance. But on every single issue they have just proved to be that the "slippery slope fallacy" wasn't a fallacy at all but demonstrable fact. We tolerated LGBT. And after only a few years we've seen how they treat children ("Minor Attracted Persons" and trans indoctrination of kids) We tolerated safe, legal and rare abortions. We now see a disgusting abortion epidemic treated in the most flippant manner imaginable. We tolerated minorities and immigrants, and we've all seen how that paid off. The slippery slope is real, and we've been proven fools for giving concessions to the left. Now is the time to push back, push back hard and never EVER entertain left wing ideals again.
    1
  1124.  @Alkixkix  In a way, yes. If the "progressive" can't even define his own limits to his ideology, you know they are dishonest. It's like what I've been asking feminists all these years. "When is feminism obsolete? What are your defined goals?" Either they don't have an answer, or they say that feminist activism will always be relevant. They have no "end goals". It's all about self-perpetuation and creating new conflicts where there were none before. Contrast that to an organisation like the IRA for example. They had terms to which the UK could agree to. And when they did, the IRA ceased their activities after the Good Friday agreement. But with wokists, there is no Good Friday agreement to be had. Whatever concessions you agree to with them, they will ALWAYS demand more.

Worshippers of "logic" and other thought experiments can go hang themselves for all I care.

  1126.  @benjaminsmith3843  The usage of body armour in violent crime by the criminals has increased in the U.S though. And i'm not saying that the 9mm is a bad round. I just wanted to correct some facts, since the way I read your post it made it sound like it's a "weak round" meant for suppressive fire rather than engagements. It is used for direct engagements by some anti-terrorist and special forces units right now. Specifically in the FN P90. That said, it is kind of a "crossover" round that probably won't be around for too long, since a lot of gun manufacturers making PDW weapons are opting for PDW's that fire full, rifle cartridges instead of pistol cartridges. For example the Knights Armament PDW. Also Magpul was prototyping a PDW called the PDR-c. Both of which fire 5,56 NATO rounds. The danger of using a 9mm for civilian defense lies in if the aggressor is using body armour. With more high powered cartridges, even if the body armour stops the round, the wearer will get severely winded and probably crack a few ribs. But a 9mm doesn't have the same punch against body armour, so a perp wearing it while shot with a 9mm is unlikely to go down or stop shooting.
    1
  1127.  @benjaminsmith3843  Yeah, logistics matter. I wouldn't tell anyone to go for a FiveSeven pistol over anything that is chambered in 9x19 millimeter either. You want your ammunition to be readily available after all. Go for exotic stuff and your wallet will hurt badly. And the 5.7mm round should arguably be considered an exotic round.

  1130.  @benpark5074  I don't have any problems with being gay. So that's not really an issue at all. Frankly being gay would be kind of convenient since dating and relationships seems to be less complicated from my experience with gay couples. If I see guys with a lot of fitness to their bodies, the only conclusion that I make is basically along the lines of "Hmm, that must be useful for heavy lifting or physically taxing activities". But I don't see any beauty in it. Only utility. It's like comparing a well engineered tractor with a souped up engine to a budget tractor with a weaker engine really. There's no beauty to either vehicle. The only thing that matters are the specs and capabilities. I guess what turns me off the most from the male physique is their almost simian appearance. The jutting brow, the oversized chin, the hair. It reminds me more of some kind of monkey than an object of beauty. Beautiful women don't have the same kind of simian characteristics to their appearance like men do, so that's probably why I can recogonize their beautiful features and tell them apart from the less attractive ones. And before you ask, yes, everything I've said applies to what I see in the mirror too. But i've never felt bothered by it since looking "beautiful" was never a goal of mine to begin with, and I haven't experienced much trouble with romancing the opposite sex either. So, apparently my own appearance is agreeable with the women I felt attracted to. I don't really need to understand or relate towhat it is that they find attractive, only that they do.

You have to understand that their beef is with Zelensky and the Ukranian military. Neither Putin nor his troops relish the thought of killing a bunch of civilians or utterly destroying Ukranian towns and cities. The fact that they're prosecuting a war inside Ukraine, a country which most russians have familial ties to in some way is probably the most demoralizing factor of all. Even though the western MSM like to dismiss all Russians as evil conquerors, that's not really what's going on. So the Russians do follow certain rules of engagement right now, and have overall been very restrained. And the Ukranian infantry is exploting that to their advantage. It's not really that different from when Americans were in Iraq and had to refrain from firing upon Iraqi troops hiding in religious buildings, hospitals, schools and such because the Americans hands were tied by RoE. Only, Russians have real, personal ties to Ukraine, whereas American forces didn't give two shits about Iraq or the Iraqis in general.

Always women have been freed from responsibility for their own actions to some capacity while men have ALWAYS been held accountable regardless of circumstance. And this is why most women have terrible voting habits. When you've gone through life never being held accountable, it is only natural that your instinct for recognizing cause and effect to be muddled and dysfunctional.

Dictators don't allow themselves to lose votes in their elections (if they even stage any elections at all), whereas the United Russia Party (Putins party) lost seats and votes in the most recent election compared to the one prior. What kind of a "pseudo-dictator" allows himself to lose parliamentary power huh? 🤣 But you continue being a Soros-shill. I like how transparent you irrational Putin haters are. 😁

  1164.  @mariadavies7135  Nothing strange about it. The evil of socialism isn't really that a government has the power to shut down or break a subversive company up. The evil lies in it's lack of understanding of how the market works and how to generate prosperity. If a company like facebook is slapped with regulations or gets nationalized it's not really gonna damage the nations economy at all. What you need to understand is that just because someone is opposee to socialism, it doesn't mean they are believers in laisez faire capitalism either.

  1165.  @mariadavies7135  No, they're welcome to disagree. But "disagreeing" does not mean that you necessarily are allowed to takr action, ANY action that you feel like. Private businesses have to respect laws and regulations that goes according to the democratic principles. They don't have to like them. They don't have to disagree with them. They can even speak out against them. But if they want them changed, then they have to use their vote for the purpose. Not by taking action and shutting down constitutional rights of the citizenry just because they happen to be owners of the means or communication. And no I don't need to follow their terms and conditions because in 99 % if the cases, terms and condition documents actually contain illegal clauses. They are only legally recognized documents after having been tried in court. And the laws can change too. And yes, what I want would probably seem like a dicratorship to you. Because I am disillusioned, sick and tired of seeing multinational corporations usurping the power of governments and granting themselves more rights and freedoms at the cost of the general population. Business owners should be forced (at gunpoint if need be) to understand that they are PRIVILIGED to be allowed to operate in our countries.

  1169. I find the loli-watchers to be disgusting beyond compare. But the "normalizing" argument is rather dysfunctional. By the same reasoning, one could easily argue that realistic depictions of violence in video games is "normalizing" violent behaviour in real life. Now I'm a decades long virtual murderer, having killed countless of human representations in video games. But I still don't find violence IRL to be "normal behaviour" or a normal activity. Wouldn't want to be friends with someone who watches digital or cartoon CP though. It's too creepy and disgusting, compared to violence imo.

  1183. Masculinity is using your biological gifts of superior strength to better your lot in life, but for the purpose of improving and protecting the lives of others, using your own family as the starting point. If your success only allows for your own improvement, then you pursue that. If your success allow you to get a family and improve their lot in life, then you pursue that. If your success allows you to improve the lot of your employees in your company, the citizens of your country, the subjects in your kingdom or even empire, then you will pursue it. Whenever a man achieves power that would afford him to help others, but he spends it solely on himself and indulging in luxuries, then he stops being masculine.

In my opinion, one can't properly understand the rise of the nazi party, nor WWII in general without the context of WWI and it's aftermath. Without learning something about WWI, the nazis seem like some sort of evil boogeyman that just sprung out if thin air to terrorize Europe. In reality, the seeds of the rise of Nationalsocialism in Germany were planted during WWI, and it's downright irresponsible to not mention it during any history class... Or the omission of such a mention is ideologically motivated.

If you deny everything, use VPN's, open wi-fi's and everything, there is no way in hell that the authorities can prove that you posted anything anywhere.

  1187. I already only work as much as necessary. And the labour code forbids my employer from demanding me to work any more or take action against me if I refuse to put in overtime. The only reason I put in overtime is when I want more money or compensatory leave sometime later. But it's all entirely voluntary. If any boss tells me I have to stay late a certain day, I can tell them to fuck off and go home for the day at the hour my contract says I can. And there's literally nothing my boss can do about it.

If someone pitched the idea of The Onedin Line or I Claudius in Hollywood back in the day to private film studios, they would've been immediately rejected.

The cold war would've been a much nicer period if the superpowers opted to compete in scientific projects as opposes to proxy warfare and setting up nuclear strike plans. But yes, if you want to criticize the USSR, then it'a handling of food productions and famines would be more valid. But don't run around making strawmen based on the idea that just because a charlatan like Lysenko managed to claw his way to power and influence then it must mean that the USSR was anti-scientific. What you need to understand is that most testimony from the soviet union came solely from defectors. It's like basing your entire view of a complex society on the paranoid ramblings of Ayn Rand, or your entire view of America based on what some CCP party official portrays it as.

  1199.  @andreivaughn1468  Yes. And that's why I don't think anyone is doing classical liberal ideals any kind of service by spreading falsehoods or caricature depictions about the USSR.

Otherwise you'll just become the same kind or uninformed hypocrite like a typical western left wing extremist. There's several millions of ex-soviet citizens, still living in Russia today who don't have nearly as bad of an impression about the USSR as the many "defectors" spread around in the west Although Russians in general seems to have grown up from communism since and can recognize why the economic model is unsustainable in the long term.

  1200.  @vendomnu  But if truth becomes the victim of party politics then how did the soviet scientists pull off what they did? Your issue here is that you're conflating ideology with "truth". Yes, the USSR persecuted dissenters. No if's or but's about it. But claiming that all soviet dissenters were "just being truthful" just displays a curious ignorance about the subject. The OP's argument would've made more sense if applied to Maoist China rather than the Soviet Union, since the Chinese were far more dogmatic about the ideology than the Russians ever were.

  1210. Another good way to absorb history is going through channels that delve into the practicalities of history. You have the informally dubbed "community of the sword" for example. A group of loosely affiliated content creators like The Metatron, Jason Kingsley, The Shadiversity, Skallagrim Tod's Workshop and a bunch of others who test, review and take in depth looks at historical weapons and armour. It's a good way to bring history out of the realm of just being about years, dates and names of rulers. Townsends is also a great channel looking into various facets of life in the late 1700's and most of the 1800's that deals a lot with cooking, building things, clothing, smithing, survivalism and so on.

  1220.  @signe_stilett  If NATO wills it, all three will become nuclear missile platforms against Russia. That's the way NATO have always worked: smaller, far flung memberstates serve as de facto beach heads and invasion insertion points for the U.S military. And as you may have noticed, Kreml does not want Nato in these countries either, according to Russias letter of demands. So if you're trying to argue that Russia is "Fine" with them as Nato members, think again. Ukraine flirting with Nato is the straw that broke the camels back because the aggressive and hostile NATO alliance has continually pushed further and further into the east since the dissolution of the USSR, so Russians are right to treat it as a threat to their sovreignty. America never settlew for peaceful co-existence with any country that can serve as their rival after all. They only seek to dominate and control everything, hence the Nato push eastward.

  1223.  @mrlegkick91  Ask yourself, what's really in Ukraine that Putin supposedly wants that he can't get cheaper and easier at home? Russia is by area the biggest country in the world, covering a wide variety of topographical features and natural resorces. Everything is there for the taking already. So what could be the reason that Russia threatens Ukraine if we can dismiss any sort of need of natural resources or territory? More territory would also be more of a burden for Russia. Annex all of Ukraine and you've suddebly expanded Russias borders by several hundreds of miles. More border = more need for border patrol = more money needs to be diverted to the military. And military spending is always a net cost for any country and not something it can count on reaping profits from. Considering that Russias economy is not very great at all due to still recovering from communist fiscal policies AND they're slapped with all manner of spiteful trade sanctions. So why would Putin or Kreml desire to ADD to their yearly state costs even further? With all this in mind (and you can go check the facts of what I say for yourself, don't take my word for everything), you've got to ask yourself, what would be a rational or logical reason for Russia to be so concerned with Ukraines desire to join NATO?
    1
  1224.  @viysnjor4811  Irrelevant since countries change ambitions and goals depending on which regime is running them. You should try and answer my question too: what exactly is in Ukraine that Putin can't get cheaper and more easily at home?
    1
  1225.  @viysnjor4811  he already has them. Crimea is Russian whether Ukraine likes it or not. There's nothing Ukraine can do about it. Doesn't mean that Russians want to take over all of Ukraine since there is no need to. Unless Nato and Ukraine are being idiotic and starts to make it an issue. The separatist regions are gone and that's just a pill that Ukraine has to swallow.
    1
  1226.  @viysnjor4811  The confederate states didn't have the support of a superpower. The separatists in Ukraine have the support of Russia. Ukraine also has a very weak military to begin with, so even without Russian support, the separatists on their own are enough problems for Ukraine to deal with. And yeah, Putin want a buffer zone around Russias borders, and who can blame him? Considering Nato's steady march towards the east and their general hostility towarda Russia that has been going on ever since the Cold war.
    1
  1227.  @viysnjor4811  Ah so you admit it then that NATO has exhibited previous hostility towards Russia? What do you expect Russia to do? Just take more and more aggression from NATO without any response in turn? I guess your idea of "ethics" is for Russia to just sit idle and watch as NATO ships over nukes to Ukraine and start pointing them straight at Moscow and S:t Petersburg. God forbid that Russia were to "intervene", because that wouldn't be "respectful of Ukraines sovreignty, ehrmagerd!"

  1228.  @ChucksSEADnDEAD  Haven't claimed anything. I stay with the facts. And the facts are that Russias national debt isn't nearly high enough for western sanctions to work as intended. Russias military production is also producing higher quantities than Ukraine could hope to match with supplemental munitions imported from Iran and North Korea. You can't fight a war for long in Ukraines position where you basically produce nothing in terms of weapons and rely on freebies from other countries. It goes without saying.

  1239. As a counterpoint to risk-taking: if you only take risks where the consequences only affect you, then that's fine. But what about the situations when people depend on you as a man? Take my situation for example. My mother has accrued some serious debts in her life, and because I don't want to see her homeless or that we as a family lose the house that my grandfather left behind in which she lives in, i'm currently paying off those debts of hers. Combined with the fact that I recently became a father and have an infant daughter to support, I can't help but feel that it would be deeply irresponsible of me to gamble with my job and income just to gain some personal satisfaction of always speaking my mind in the workplace, when I know that my views would certainly land me with punitive actions from my employer. I don't like it, but for the moment I have to do the responsible thing by keeping my head down and not rocking the boat at my place of work. I'm not an online influencer. I don't have a massive audience who'll bail me out with crowdfunding donations if I get fired or my prospects of wage increases get docked because a boss might decide that I have "problematic opinions". I wish my parents were in a better situation and I didn't have to worry about losing that property. But as the situation is, I have to deal with it as it is until the mission is complete.

  1261.  @TheJackOfAllTrades777  I understand the sentiment. I guess that's why i'm into tanks and military vehicles more than racing cars atm. The main battle tank of our armed forces is a Leopard 2. It has a V12 engine. The growl of that one is quite the spectacle to hear when it runs.

  1262.  @Manannan_mac_Lir  But carpet bombing cities with conventional bombs for weeks at a time is just fine and dandy? 🤔

  1263.  @Manannan_mac_Lir  But the thing is, the decision to use those nukes in the first place was deliberated for quite some time on beforehand. So no, it was not a matter of "hindsight" but FORESIGHT. The pacific war had gone on for a very long time before the nukes were deployed. American forces hardly captured ANY prisoners from the enemy, nor from Japanese civilians during that time. The amount of captured prisoners was so staggeringly low to be unprecedented. Do you know why? Because even Japanese civilians had the mindset that they would fight to the bitter end. Japanese soldiers were even worse. So the Pentagon crunched the numbers of Japanese troops killed in action versus Japanese troops caught as prisoners of war or who surrendered and applied those statistics to a scenario of a mainland invasion of Japan and realized that they would've ended up having to fight and kill more than ten times as many Japanese citizens (soldiers and civilians alike) through conventional warfare. So tell me, how is a deathtoll tenfold larger than the deathtoll of Hiroshima and Nagasaki getting nuked a "better" result? War is war at the end of the day. There are no "good" outcomes, only more or less deadly outcomes. Wishing that nukes shouldn't exist is about as naive as to wish that war shouldn't exist, but it does. And the fact remains that countries with nuclear weapons are safer than countries without them, since even superpowers are scared of provoking a possible nuclear conflict with smaller nuclear countries.

  1264.  @Manannan_mac_Lir  Uh, it was naval blockades that cause the Empire of Japan to launch on attack on Pearl Harbour in the first place. Also what "freedom of choice" do you think the average citizen in Japan enjoyed? Have you even looked at their culture today? Even today the Japanese are extremely conformist and will do as they are told by the authorities. During the Covid pandemic their government didn't even need to issue any mandates, because the Japanese just obeyed the instructions anyway. This is what Japan is like TODAY. Imperial Japan was like that but cranked up to eleven. Every single Japanese citizen was taught from birth that the Emperor was their living god, and that every japanese person owed their life and honour to him and the fatherland. Their entire military was basically like ISIS in terms of fanaticism and devotion. And remember ISIS are so fanatical that they have no problem finding suicide bombers for any attack they want to stage. Imperial Japan was exactly like that, but had many millions of people with the ISIS mindset. So what basis do you have to even suggest that they would've just "chosen" on their own individual accord to surrender after a naval blockade? I want to hear you justify why tenfold the number of dead Japanese people is better than the lower number of dead Japanese caused by the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. Do you have any RATIONAL reason whatsoever to prefer a higher killcount as opposed to the lower one? Because to me you sound kind of monstrous prefering to see that many more civilians dead.

  1265.  @Manannan_mac_Lir  There would've been survivors after a mainland invasion. Only far less of them. Those were the options that the Allies were faced with at the time. And they picked the lesser evil option. And you're here complaining because you naively assume that some mystical "third option" would've been available with no evidence to back up such a claim.

  1266.  @Manannan_mac_Lir  Your example is ridiculous because the contexts are entirely different. Russia using nukes today would only open up for other countries using nukes against Russia. Neither the Russians nor anyone else wants that. When Hiroshima and Nagasaki was nuked however, no other country in the world had nuclear arms except the U.S. So there was no chance of any nuclear retaliation at the time.

  1267.  @Manannan_mac_Lir  "Murder" is a legal term. Killing people in war is not murder. It's just war. I question leaders all the time. But in this instance the decision to use nukes spared more lives than refusing to use nukes. The equation is very simple and there are no if's or but's about it.

  1270.  @Born_Stellar  It's not about "room", genius. It's about the physical capabilities of the native countries natural resources being able to sustain the lifestyle and size of the country's population. Which is less of a problem in indonesia since practically everyone there are dirt poor and live dirt poor lifestyles. Japan however is struggling with it and their current system is far from sustainable.

  1272.  @The_Natalist  You can probably find pictures and videos of it. Trust me, not a pretty sight. And nowhere near the good conditions of your chickens. In my country I see cows living pretty tranquil lives in wide and open pastures fenced in with barbed wire or electrical wire. They can move and graze as they wish. Cattle consigned to factory farms is an entirely different story.

  1274.  @johnhonker437  Yes. They call it a "critical" theory. So it's rather counterproductive that they try to teach a critical anlysis to humans at an age where their critical thinking is the most underdeveloped. I can only assume this is done on purpose. They don't want the children to think "critically". If critical thinking was truly desired, they wouldn't subject children to it to begin with.
