  1. 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!

  2. 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.

  3.  @michaelkeha  Nope. Subtle Japanese flavors are no more "complex" than the subtle flavors in any European cuisine. This notion is just an artifact invented by weeb hipsters.

  4. Democracy is not under threat by Truckers honking horns. Democracy dies when the government can declare any dissenter or protester as "enemy of democracy", and have them crushed under army tanks.

  5. Suddenly the "9/11 was an inside job" theory doesn't seem that far fetched anymore.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  13. Yes it does. And that's what the government wants.

  14. Remember when they used to call it a "slippery slope FALLACY"? I guess we've all seen that it wasn't a "fallacy" at all.

  15. I hope these cops rest well at night knowing that they kept themselves safe from harm as children were getting killed.

  16. 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.

  17. 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.

  21. Why does police corruption surprise people in Britain anymore?

  22. 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?

  23. 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.

  24. 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.

  25. 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.

  26. It seems all British institutions has a long running tradition of covering for and protecting noncery. From Jimmy Saville to Rotheram.

  30. 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.

  32.  @emanwe01  I don't think conservatives should be forgiving towards people of demonstrably bad character.

  33. 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.

  35. 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?

  36. Also, the irony over demanding a name change due to the colonialism from one country, while using the language of another colonialist country 🤣

  38.  @ToroMontana  With a 15 percent of GDP national debt, they don't have to borrow money to do what they want. The U.S has to ask creditors for permission every step of the way. And when creditors say no, the american house of cards will come tumbling down.

  40. And do you know which ethnic group besides Italians were most active with the mafia in the early 1900's? 😉

  41.  @PanelVulture  Losers in a war always tend to be prosecuted for "warcrimes" by the victors. What i'm talking about here is when British troops get betrayed by THEIR OWN government.

  42. 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.

  45. Couldn't bug farming reasonably used to create food for fish farms so we humans could eat more fish instead? The oceans are overfished to a crazy degree after all. So why not open up more fish farms and have the bug farms supply the fish farms with necessary feed?

  46. 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.

  47. 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.

  50. 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.
