What's your idea for a different political future?

The only thing I can legally do have any influence on the leadership of this country is to move - abandon my job, and friends and move to a marginal constituency. I could always use a service like swapmyvote, but I'm not sure how effective they would be.

I'd like the system to be changed, but that's not going to happen in my lifetime without some significant occuring.

That picture was from some of the very first footage depicting the holocaust taken by the Soviets back in 1941.
That picture literally is Nazi's standing over a mass grave filled with murdered Jewish people. You can spin it however you want it bud, but you can't say that the picture has nothing to do with Nazis, no matter what stupid text you put over it, or whatever website you took it from. Stop erasing history!

Thanks for the info, nice find. I've seen so many similar B&W pictures of socialist/communist/Marxist type killings/mass murders/genocides such as the Holodomor, etc, & was mislead by the title of the template into thinking it was one of them. It should be called Fascist Genocide, not Socialist Genocide, which would've avoided any confusion on the part of those using it. I'll report it & have the picture renamed or removed (EDIT: done). If, whoever uploaded the picture had used an image of the Holodomor or something similar, as the template name suggested it was, then the text put over it would've made sense. History bears thorough witness to the destruction of human life perpetrated by the far-left, just as much it does for the far-right, & serves as a warning to us all should radicals on either side of the aisle ever set foot on those well-trodden paths again...





Where is the potential for "full-blown murderous & genocidal regimes?" on the left?

How many people have been killed/murdered in the riots so far... :rolleyes:


It's not a rhetorical question, I was asking you to be specific because I don't know what you are talking about. You made a very broad statement. Which universities? Is it the general pedagogy in your view? How much university activity is pseudo-intellectual nonsense?

For the benefit of onlookers & those who wish to invest the time & effort required to find out the answers to these questions: This, this, & this.

Have you got anything for the people who would prefer to read a description or examples within the thread?

I'm interested enough to read your posts but not interested enough to click on 3 links without any descriptions visible.

They are links to 2 lectures on YouTube & one YouTube channel. I didn't want to go to far off topic or spam my post with 4 videos, I'd rather try & stick to just posting memes here. However, I've put them directly in the spoiler below for you.

I've got 2 TVs in front of me for 2 live sporting events. Even if I didn't, I'm not diving straight into 91 minutes of video that, for all I know, might have been produced by whackos.

You might find it hard to draw people towards learning about the things you think are wrong with education establishments recently if you won't at least try to give a hint, in your own words, to what you meant by this.

Yeah, that's right; not all Liberals like me buy into the politically fashionable & absurd academic pseudo-intellectual nonsense coming out of the colleges & universities of late...

A sentence or two as a response to this would go a long way.
What politically fashionable and absurd academic pseudo-intellectual nonsense are you speaking about? As a somewhat recent graduate of two universities I disagree.
 
The one kind of diversity that's always conspicuously missing from organizations official 'Diversity, Inclusion & Equity' policy statements...

If a Nazi can't publicly be a Nazi, then minorities don't deserve equal opportunities? I guess? I dunno. I suspect the vagueness was intentional, as any specific claims of supposedly disallowed "viewpoints" would then have to be substantiated.
Which explains the way he responded. Typical...

I say what I mean, & I mean what I say. Nothing more, nothing less...


:P
Grow up and try to have a proper intellectual discussion. Please?
 
You guys are so far off base with your assumptions it's laughable!

How many people have been killed/murdered in the riots so far... :rolleyes:

As far as I can tell, 30 people have died during a period where as many as 26 million people participated in protests. However, many of them were protesters themselves or involved in other crimes, accidents, or fights. I can't find any instances where people were rounded up and executed. Can you give a single, specific example from the 2020 Protests where you see potential for a genocidal regime? Can you give me a single elected official on the left that you think could lead a genocidal regime?

Where are we now? Riots are bad?

Here's a comprehensive list of events of civil unrest and riots in the USA. We tend to riot a lot. Can you explain which ones led to murderous and genocidal regimes? I do find it ironic that you have listed, as your only example, anti-government protests & riots as evidence that you believe we are careening towards a murderous government - presumably in 9 years mind you. With Joe Biden as the presumptive figurehead of the left. :lol:
 
Then why don't you fill us simpletons in? Why hoard all your genius for yourself?
Because it involves watching a bunch of mindnumbing opinion videos. Kinda the opposite of what this thread is about.

LOL... where to begin...?


That. Was. Awesome.

I saw that it was over 14 minutes long and told myself I'd stick around for a couple of those. Before I knew it, I'd watched the entire thing.

This is missing key things.

George Floyd's death (among others like it) have been caught on camera & viewed millions of times by the world which make it far easier to spark protesting since the act can't be denied when it's there in viewable media. Epstein & Maxwell's crimes however, are not, which is why it's more important than ever that Maxwell be protected & reveal what she knows. Otherwise, the only solid "media proof" we have is conjuring up theories by taking media components & placing unfounded context around them which, in many cases, can be easily proven false* & as a result, can start destroying credibility against the claim in the first place.

*For example, a wild conspiracy theory is being shared of people who fought trafficking & committed "suicide" shortly after, implying they were all killed. However, the list can be discredited just by researching. Tim Bergling is on that list, claimed that he died days after releasing a music video about trafficking. That claim can be instantly fact-checked: Tim's video released in 2015, Tim passed away in 2018 (with a well documented past of substance abuse leading to his death). 1 simple Google check is all it takes to discredit that claim & now chances are, all the other claims are in question.

The other thing is these issues aren't mutually exclusive. We can fight both, there's just more ammo for 1 right now to do so. There is becoming a delusional argument being propped up by child trafficking fighters that revolves around attacking other social issues whether its police brutality or Covid.
It's deflection.

In response to calls for action over George Floyd's murder by those sworn to protect, people bring up legitimate police shootings, black-on-black violence, the victim's own shady past, mask and social distancing mandates purportedly disregarded in favor of assembly and protest, Uighur Muslims in China and the senseless slaying of a 5-year-old white boy.

They even bring up the broadly similar killing of Tony Timpa because his being white purportedly shoots down the notion that black people are more likely to be victimized by the people who are supposed to be protecting them. But the Timpa situation highlights a culture that keeps bad actors from being held accountable. There was no bystander-shot video of Timpa's murder. It's taken years for Timpa's family to get a clear picture of how and why he was killed by the people responding to the 911 call that he himself made. What people don't talk about when bringing up Timpa is his own criminal record, his battles with substance abuse and his history of mental illness. They don't talk about these things because they're not actually relevant, and yet they talk about Floyd's past because it somehow is. Except it isn't.


What if he does identify as a female? Probably doesn't but still, how do you check it?
Not how. Why. Why do you "check it"? You're not obligated to. Now, if someone corrects you after you've referred to them by anything other than their preferred pronoun, you can choose whether or not you respect their wishes. It's pretty simple.

I said his name.

I'd say it's odd that neither you nor any of the other
Trumpkins "normal people" who are active on this platform have opted to do so, but it's really not. You only care about him insofar as his brutal murder contributes to your preferred narrative and aids your deflection.

It's an incomplete analogy. You don't take the bus that gets you no nearer to your destination than where you started and you don't get into the windowless van with "BUS" scratched into the side.

Weird. I've tended to favor Penthouse for my masturbatorial inspiration, but different strokes for different folks.

Thanks. I just typed "cult of social justice" into Google and this was one of the top hits.
I've just added a quick summary so people know what it's about before committing themselves. It's a very easy watch though. He provides some nice pencil sketches to ease the viewer into the wordier sections. No angry Care Bears though, lol.

I actually stuck around in part because of those sketches. I'll probably watch it again in case I paid more attention to them than what he was saying, though I don't think I missed anything.

By the way, there's an eraser button next to a wrench button in the post composition interface. If you highlight text within a post composition and click that button, it'll remove all unnecessary formatting (it leaves hypertext and direct quotes/tags). Feel free to do this in advance to responding to me (this goes for everyone), as I augment my text for myself and only for myself.

Thanks. I'm aware of the eraser and had already used it by the time I saw your post. My original quote erased your colouring, so I manually reentered the COLOR and /COLOR tags but didn’t realise my own text was still brown until I hit Post.
