The mistake here is assuming the rest of the internet understands the Asian Carp problem you could of done this by simply adding "invasive" in the title so you don't get viewers misunderstanding the reason for electrocuting fish

This is just me being a Doomer so don't take it personally.... but honestly I just don't see any hope for America these days.

There's so much degeneracy and apathetic bullshit going on that it's obvious people don't care as long as they make a quick buck from it. Like, lets be honest here, regardless of who becomes President America isn't gonna recover. We're too deep in debt with other countries such as China, rampant Illegal Immigration, heavy Drug Use and other things.

I don't know what else to say other than that we're fucked. The American Dream is dead and has become the Nightmare and no one's willing to wake up and see reality for what it really is.

I’m seeing that a lot panic is going about and people are going crazy about this Corona/COV-19

Y’all really need to calm the hell down. People just going crazy.

I’m willing to bet no one on here has seen a corona virus patient with there own eyes. And I’m not talking about the news.

Have you seen an actual patient? Let me know if you have. You’ll hear about it but you never will see one.

I used to be a panicky person, and worry a lot about stuff like this. But after realizing shit and starting to see things come to light for what they are, I’m no longer bothered. All the government is doing is putting fear in you. It’s a cover up only to keep fuck with your head and mind. Why do you think they keep blasting it your face?


You are not going to catch a virus. And I strongly believe that if you taking care of yourself and not worried about all this other shit going on to distract you from doing so.


Don’t be in my comments talking about “wElL aCCoRdInG tO—” Head ass.

You can’t believe everything you read/see/watch because it’s a lot of false information these people that control everything don’t want you to know.

humans are the most dumbest creatures on here. Notice how foolish we act all the time.


Now If you going around wearing mask/gloves and doing all this weird shit because of this, you might be the one to get sick. Because all you doing is trying to bring that shit to existence. It’s like you asking for it to happen.
Don’t glorify trying to suffer. I notice a lot of people tend to do that. It’s not good for you.


Again do not panic over this fear pandemic. Though I would advise you that you prepare and get what you need. Because they already trying to shut everything down if you haven’t noticed, because they want you to be boxed in.

They gonna shut down stores and many businesses as possible because they want to put everything online. And it’s gonna make people lose a lot of jobs.


But you can’t worry about that because that’s out of your control. Just focus on yourself and do whatever you need to, in order to help you do so. Because the bullshit is coming.


Can’t nobody save you or take care of you like you do.

Not this government and these puppet presidents-which don’t give a shit about you at all by the way. I don’t care who you support either. They all work together from how I see things.

Not even family or friends can save you.

You have to save yourself. Do some research on shit. Really ask questions because not everything is what you think it is.


Now if I offend anyone I’m sorry, but I also don’t care. I don’t have time for confused and salty people right now.

Wake up.

She believes that “if the Germans hadn’t been fed beer and cold meats as they were, they would never have been able to do what they did in World War II”[…]
Irène Grosjean[…]says she is against drugs because she “lost in (her) youth, several young and dear beings well cared for as we usually hear”. “With Hippocrates, we made a lot of hypocrites”[…]

I’d just like to say that I’m really sick of the over-the-top outrage displayed by so many at every imaginable instance of sexual activity in anyone, especially females, under the age of 18.

18 is an arbitrary, (but certainly useful) dividing line between childhood and adulthood, it is not a precise and reliable measure of maturity in every human being.

When it comes to sex, nature itself says that human females are sexually ready at puberty, which can occur at almost any age, but is usually 11 or 12 and up. Therefore, it is not sick, twisted and worthy of a lynch mob when men find themselves responding to post-pubescent girls, no matter what their actual chronological age is. The tacky saying about grass on the field is technically true, and it’s not honest to demonize men for desires that are entirely natural. Nor are men who find themselves sexually attracted to post pubescent girls pedophiles. They are ephebophiles, and there’s really nothing wrong with that, in and of itself. It’s how we’re built.

And as long as I’m at it, I’ll bitch a little about rape, too: while the label “rape” may be justly applied to any sexual act that is non-consensual, not all rape is equal, or equally horrible and damaging. I’ve been a victim of “date rape”, when I was just a girl (a slutty girl who was inappropriately acting out her issues by giving it away to almost anyone) when a sailor I was on a “date” with forced me to have sex with him in a bathroom. It wasn’t a great experience. But I’m absolutely sure that it was a day in Disneyland compared to the experience of women who’ve been assaulted by complete strangers popping out from behind a bush with a knife, or suddenly appearing in their bedroom in the middle of the night

so what I guess I’m saying is that we have to stop reacting as though every instance of sexual “crime” is equal. They aren’t. And I think it undermines the very real and horrible damage that is done by genuine pedophiles and rapists when we treat everything the same. It’s also an injustice to the “criminals” themselves, when they are all branded as “sex offenders” no matter the nature of the offense.

On the other tentacle, is this the final nail in the DEI coffin of wokeness? Yes, I think it is. The Waspinator had an interesting video that I partially / mostly agreed with - especially the part about different cultural segments catching up at different speeds. Video games, comic-books, movies, TV shows, late night commentary, RPGs, etc. Not all of these subcultures will get deradicalized all at once.

And make no mistake, the left desperately needs to deradicalize. The rabid, TDS suffering lunatics foaming at the mouth at the thought of "race and gender traitors" supporting the orange man are not classical liberals, but fanatic progressive Commies in training. Those in the Democrat party now coming out to say that the left needs to be even less tolerant, less moderate, and less calm are ready to throw themselves into the abyss just to "own" Trump and his supporters. If those crazies want to shave their head, wear blue bracelets, and swear off men for a few years, go for it, ladies. You do you.

Andrew Anglin #pratt #dunning-kruger #transphobia dailystormer.name

Trans supporters have never explained how souls are getting trapped in the wrong bodies. Obviously, it cannot be natural. Naturally, a soul would be fundamentally connected to the body, and therefore “soul in the wrong body” is an impossible problem. Therefore, the only explanation for this is some kind of malicious otherworldly entity. We should be asking these people to explain what this entity is, and if there is a way to fight it. Can we, for instance, travel to the plane of existence in which this entity resides, and use magic runes to destroy or at least imprison it so it cannot continue to switch souls into the wrong bodies?

If fighting the entity responsible is not possible, would it be possible to build a machine to align souls with the bodies? Most people did not think souls were sexual, and that it was the body that was sexual, with the soul residing in it, but if the soul is sexual, is there a way to change the sex of the soul, rather than mutilating the body? If I believed in this theory, I would also want to explore the possibility of soul-switching: can you take a boy who has the wrong soul and a girl who has the wrong soul and switch their souls into the other’s body?

It is an extreme metaphysical claim that a soul can be in the wrong body, and yet somehow, this is not being addressed at all. They just declare it, without elaborating on the mechanism. If people believe in this sort of thing, there is no reason we shouldn’t be looking at using magic to rectify the situation. If someone believes a soul can be switched in the first place, there is no reason it cannot be switched back, which would prevent so many problems.

Normalization of sex normalizes rape, sexual abuse etc. Agree or disagee and why?

image

Its an interesting point though I can't completely follow the argument.

(Pinkpillisacope)
Agreed. Unfortunately for us, morality is an abstract which gives too much leeway for moids to do whatever they want and to label it however they want. The moment people become "sex positive" then the lines between what is wrong and right are blurred. Moids who are using kinks as borderline abuse to kinkmaidens who are too oblivious to see.

Recently things that used to be adult movie plots are being used as an excuse to "spice up" the bedroom. Moids began demanding anal as a joke which turned into a meme about eating ass and now we are too deep into the cult because everyone drank the kool-aid of being hip. I mean I have seen it as a movie trope but people with a rape fetish have websites they can go to and book "surprise sex". We crossed the line a long time ago, not to be a prude but I think the only solution is celibacy, abstinence and staying the fuck away from men.

(ilovethiswebsite)
People think sexual desire is fun and normal when they got 99% of their sexual interests from an industry that wanted to harm women (and also produce as much as possible)

Not shaving was popular during the 70s. Then, as the porn industry got big, they realized it was more of a hassle to clean the various body fluids off of the actors hair when filming scenes. It could also obstruct the view of the ~action~ so porn girls started shaving everything, and other women followed suit. Same thing with blowjobs, they were used to humiliate the porn actress, now most women willingly humiliate themselves.

One thing women should remember is that porn didn't make men, but men made the porn.

Jesus and My Gender: Affirming Your Child's God-Given Gender

image

In this rhyming book for children ages 3-10, pastor Dale Partridge masterfully lays out a cohesive theological presentation of biblical gender. The content of each page is supported by Scripture references and, at the end of the book, is a 5-question biblical catechism to instill these truths in the minds of young people.

image

Before the creation of the world, God designed boys and girls.

image

God said boys and girls are equal, before their lord in soul, but they were made uniquely, with completely different roles.

image

The crown of girls is quickly seen when people start comparing - a special privilege given them: the blessing of childbearing. The female body is extraordinary, the boys cannot relate. The girls can carry babies amd nurture those they make.

image

He built his boys for rough and play, just how they ought to be. They’d pounce and battle for the day, and even jump from trees! He made them strong to guard their friends, to protect the weak, and make amends.

The veil is lifting. Beneath the surface of our global economic system lies a gripping, unseen battle, a revolution that could reshape the financial landscape as we know it. This is the Global Currency Reset (GCR) and Revaluation (RV) – a shift poised to redistribute wealth, tear down the old structures, and usher in a Golden Age of financial sovereignty.

The world’s focus may be elsewhere, but for those paying attention, a seismic shift is happening. Exotic currencies like the Zimbabwe Dollar, Iraqi Dinar, and Vietnamese Dong – once considered marginal – are central to this transformation. It’s more than a mere financial event; it’s a battle for control, an Information War where the informed few in Tier 4B stand against the oblivious masses of Tier 5.
<...>
The term “Global Currency Reset” (GCR) might sound like conspiracy fodder to the uninformed, but those in the know understand that it is far from fiction. The Global Currency Reset refers to a recalibration of the world’s currencies, with the objective of restoring balance and fairness to a global financial system long dominated by the elites. The Revaluation (RV) is the mechanism by which the value of individual currencies will be readjusted to reflect their true worth.

This recalibration has been quietly brewing, and several key currencies – often dismissed as “junk” or “exotic” – are poised to play pivotal roles. The Zimbabwe Dollar, the Iraqi Dinar, and the Vietnamese Dong have become central to the GCR/RV, much to the surprise of traditional economists. These currencies, once devalued by political instability, war, and hyperinflation, now stand at the forefront of the financial revolution.
<...>
But let us be clear – this is not a time for blind faith or hasty decisions. As you read, remember that the insights presented here are drawn from thorough research, yet your own due diligence is crucial. You hold the reins of your financial future. Will you rise to the occasion or be left behind?

If Kanye West couldn't get blacks on mass to vote for Trump, he should stop wasting his time pandering to them. Blacks might be intellectually inferior but at least they have the common sense and streetsmarts to understand that the GOP is majority white party. They don't care about values such as individualism, free market capitalism, and meritocracy because those ideals don't resonate with their psyche and culture which glorifies savagery, degeneracy, and low IQ behavior. Blacks know they can't win in a fair and honest competition with other races which explains why the Democrats know how to appeal to their pathological behavior. It is so sad that Trump and the GOP is so out of touch with their core audience.

Elon Musk and an anonymous 4chan user #crackpot #dunning-kruger #elitist #god-complex #sexist independent.co.uk

Elon Musk has used his large platform on X to promote a theory that a free-thinking “Republic” could only exist under the decision-making of “high status males” – and women or “low T men” would not be welcome in it.

On Sunday, Musk re-posted a screenshot of the theory – which appears to have been conceived on 4chan in 2021– on the social media site.

The theory, written by an anonymous user, suggests that the only people able to think freely are “high [testostrone] alpha males” and “aneurotypical people”, and that these “high status males” should run a “Republic” that is “only for those who are free to think.”

“People who can’t defend themselves physically (women and low T men) parse information through a consensus filter as a safety mechanism,” the post reads.

“Only high T alpha males and aneurotypical people (hey autists!) are actually free to parse new information with an objective ‘is this true?’ filter,” it adds. “This is why a Republic of high status males is best for decision making. Democratic, but a democracy only for those who are free to think.”

“Interesting observation,” Musk said, in response to the post.

“Then how come he keeps hiring people who worked on it to his cabinet?” Gee, I don’t know, 1 logical and rational reason though that any sane person would automatically think of is maybe because he can’t control what hobbies other people have in their free time and if they’re the best fit for a job, even if they have some extreme opinions and views and suggestions on a topic having nothing to do with their damn job, then they’re the best fit for that job, and he can, as he’s already said he’s going to do, ignore their suggestions for Project 2025.

Donald J. Trump is now your president again whether you like it or not, he has repeatedly said he does not plan to enact Project 2025, and even if he did, if he went back on his word over something THAT major that affects so many Americans unjustly, America wouldn’t sit idly by for that bullshit. So what are you sniveling like a spineless little worm for?

No matter what conspiracy theories you have, no matter what speculation, no matter what coincidences since it’s an industry where everyone knows everyone, Kamala also knows everyone that Trump knows, they all work together in the same field going to the same meetings interacting with the same people, but none of that matters because Trump said he’s not involved with Project 2025, and he did NOTHING in his first term to even WARRANT your outrageous belief that this time there’s a possibly he will.


Sorry for the harshness but I really just can’t take you extreme hypocritical paranoid leftists seriously anymore. Getting beaten over the head constantly with the “tolerance” bullshit when I was already tolerant to begin with then broke all my tolerance for this stupidity.

It’s like I do want to be nice and help you get over your irrational fear and your indoctrination, but then I know you aren’t even scared of Trump or of Project 2025 being a real possibility because if you were, you wouldn’t be speaking out against someone so powerful who you believe is about to do a major reset on America, you’d be moving as far away as you can while you still can without bringing any attention to yourself from the big bad Trump wolf.

Pedro Afonso #wingnut #dunning-kruger observador.pt

Donald Trump’s victory in the US elections has exposed the bias of many commentators in our media, revealing the need to reflect on the type of political analysis that currently predominates. Although there are exceptions, it is worth mentioning some “qualities” that have been highly valued in political commentary, which tend to privilege spectacle and polarization over depth and impartiality.

The first quality of a good political commentator is to have no doubts and to assume that he is rarely wrong, demonstrating unshakable confidence. In a complex world full of subtleties, the fashionable commentator presents his opinions with an almost dogmatic certainty. He has no doubts, and if he is mistaken, this error is quickly explained by a conspiracy theory, evoking, for example, the manipulation of public opinion by a biased algorithm of a social network. This narcissistic confidence conveys confidence to the public, who see in the figure of the commentator an anchor of stability and absolute truth.

A good political commentator is one who does not shy away from confrontation, who actively seeks heated debate, transforming exchanges of opinions into a gladiatorial battle in which “you either die or you are killed”. Their goal is not so much to clarify, but rather to win, marked by the humiliation of the opponent and the applause of the public. This combative stance guarantees audience and media relevance. By transforming the debate into a circus spectacle, the political commentator fulfills the role of entertainment, something that often seems to take precedence over the informative function.

In an environment where polarization dominates discourse, the eloquent political commentator knows how to draw on an arsenal of terms designed to disqualify opposing views. “Phobic” is one such epithet that, when used strategically, is particularly effective. Any criticism or disagreement can quickly be categorized as a “phobia”: xenophobia, Islamophobia, transphobia, etc. This rhetorical ploy allows the political commentator to divert from the substance of the discussion, focusing instead on disqualifying the opponent. After all, if the other side is “phobic,” it loses its legitimacy, and the public is led to view such an opinion as intolerant and retrograde.

“Socialising the people” and “removing the Jews from society” are the same thing. Lenin and Stalin had [...] their Holocaust [...] Because to form Marx’s worker’s paradise, you must socialise the people, remove the bourgeoisie middle class from society. Hitler didn’t outcompete them in a free market. Aight? Hitler socialised the state and used that to remove the Jews from society. If Hitler’s not a socialist, and he didn’t socialise the people, then he doesn’t remove the Jews from society. Hitler’s socialism was his racism.

So those of you who deny that Hitler was a socialist...you’re actually denying the Holocaust. [...] Marxist Holocaust denialists refuse to accept Hitler’s socialism. [...] How did the free market result in the Holocaust? [W]hich private business owned and marketed the Holocaust? Marxist Holocaust denialists have no answer to these questions. [...] This is why Holocaust denialist laws exist, because Marxist Holocaust denialist historians cannot explain the ideological reasoning for the Holocaust.

[...]

National Socialist Holocaust denialists know it’s happened. [...] What they’re doing...is trolling the Marxist historians. They’re saying, “Look! Look! There's a huge flaw in your argument here!”. And the Marxists can’t plug the gap, because in order to plug the gap, they would need to admit that Hitler wanted to socialise the people, remove the Jews from society. And they can’t do that, because that would be an admission that National Socialism was “real” socialism. To admit that would undermine their entire ideology. It would place Hitler on the far left of the political spectrum. Or it would place Marxism and socialism on the far right of the political spectrum.

Wherever Hitler goes, Marx goes too. And this they will not allow, because if people realise the true nature of socialism (total state control of the economy and people, totalitarianism), how can these Marxists call for the Holocaust of the middle class, the bourgeoisie? They can’t.

However, no one passing a high-school civics class can be a Dem operative, and no one not a Dem operative can be a Operation Mockingbird asset in the Fake News, hence the Minitru Media portrayed this immunity ruling as if it were a dangerous novelty rendering the president above the law, allowing him to gun down passersby at will: the pundits and media anchormen proceeded to shriek, and gibber, and vomit pea-soup, and rotate their heads like owls on national television, gnawing and clawing and cutting their own flesh and calling on Baal in their unholy phrenzy. A disturbing number of plump blue-haired cat ladies believed this blither, or pretended too, and joined in the hysterical antics, frothing and falling and writhing underfoot like rabid howler monkeys.

The indictments also charged Trump for actions which, under the Constitution, any US Citizen has a right to do, such as assemble lawfully in a public place, and petition the government for the redress of grievances. This includes speaking at a rally to encourage the public to protest a stolen election, and to ask certification be delayed until after an investigation and audit.

In this case, on January 6th, the FBI agents and Antifas staged a riot during the peaceful rally asking for this investigation and audit into the insolently fraudulent theft of the 2020 election. Without provocation, police opened fire on the innocent crowd with rubber bullets and tear gas at one point, while other officers invited protestors into the Capitol building. One rally-goer, a female veteran, was shot from behind without warning, murdered in cold blood on national television.

Unable to invent a plausible reason to try President Trump, but confident his abuse of office would never be meaningfully punished, the bogus charges invented by Jack Smith included conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.

The action for fraud is based on a phone call Trump made to a state governor, asking him to take steps to recover ballots that went suddenly missing from the count. This is not only unlawful, it is the duty of the Executive Branch to see to it that the laws of the United States are faithfully carried out, and this include election laws that penalize felonious destruction of untallied ballots.

[From “No Childhood Vaccine is Tested”]

Don’t trust the scientists, trust the HISTORY of science. Which, by the way, very few scientists actually know

@RFK Jr.

“My position on vaccines… is that vaccines should be tested, like other medicines[…]

I’ve been pointing this out for years, very nearly decades now. Forget the Covid-19 vaxx. There are no vaccines, ZERO, which have been demonstrated to be either safe or effective by a proper application of the scientific method. It’s all statistics and hand-waving and blustering and hiding the adverse effects. There is more scientific and statistical evidence that vaccines cause autism, however flawed it might be, than there is providing evidence that any childhood vaccine is safe for children. RFK Jr. established this via the legal process when he sued Anthony Fauci for calling him a liar[…]
@RFK Jr.

“There’s no downstream liability, there’s no front-end safety testing… and there’s no marketing and advertising costs[…]

And now he’s the government official in charge of these matters. You wouldn’t want to DENY what the government is telling you about vaccines would you? You wouldn’t want to be a VACCINE SCIENCE DENIER!

UPDATE: A once-skeptical reader admits that he was unable to disprove any of the historical facts about vaccines, their irrelevance to public health, and the nonexistence of vaccine safety[…]
Following your RFK post today, I wanted to thank you for inspiring me years ago. Long before COVID, you were talking about the issues and lack of information on vaccines; as a naive college kid, I decided to look up everything I could to prove you wrong. I found what you said I would: layers of rhetoric and misdirection on top of shockingly poor official data. It’s primed me to look deeper into things, and that has kept me and my family safe from many things. It’s also trained me to seek expertise rather than experts, which has helped sift through the clown nonsense

He is putting the accused on the bench, and the accuser in the prisoner’s box. Jack Ketch is standing by and sharpens his heavy ax.

Corrupt bureaucrats who tried to shut down, bankrupt and deport Elon Musk find him now as their paymaster, with authority to shut down, defund, and eliminate their departments. He is armed with a public mandate to humiliate them and savage them.

No one voted for these parasites of the public weal. None will weep to see them forced to find honest work.

Hollywood celebrities, once his friends, betrayed and backstabbed Trump false leaks and fake scandals now will face whomever is placed in charge of investigating the Diddy Freak Out tapes & Epstein Client Blackmail list.

Matt Gaetz, the victim of false investigations, now has the authority to investigate the investigators, and reveal their disgusting and unnatural crimes.

Woke generals who treasonously undermined Trump, and who unlawfully discharged loyal patriots like Pete Hegseth from the military must all stand at attention and salute Pete Hegseth now, and at the onset of their courts martial.

Department of Justice lawyers and apparatchiks who maliciously persecuted Trump, subjecting him and his family and his attorneys to endless legal harassments and Soviet show trials, will all face their own special counsel investigations, disbarment and maybe, if heaven is just, incarceration.

Tulsi Gabbard, libeled and accused of being a Russian asset by Hillary Clinton, as Director of National Intelligence may order the investigation of known links between the Clinton campaign and Moscow.

Kristi Noem is one of the few who took steps to secure her state, and aid Texas, in resisting the Great Replacement border debacle of the Senile Administration, who no one in the public knew who was secretly running the machinery of government.

From her post of Homeland Security chief, Noem can aid the unrepentant badass Tom Homan as he chews railroad spikes and spits out razor wire to drape the southern border.

The Environmental Caucus, whoever in hades they are, condemns the nomination of Lee Zeldin as EPA director. That is good enough for me.

"The American people, including tens of millions of women across the country, re-elected President Trump by a resounding mandate to implement the policies he campaigned on — ending inflation, securing the border, and restoring peace around the world," Trump-Vance Transition spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said in a statement provided to Axios.

She continued, "American families are going to be better off under President Trump than they are today under Harris-Biden, and that's why he won."

i have been talking Ontology with Chat.AI. It got all whipped up & concocted the Prompt below and the response that follows:

Chat created prompt from our previous discussion about Ontology & UFOs:

Imagine a world where confirmed UFO visits unveil a groundbreaking discovery: the visitors are using an entirely new kind of physics that defies our current understanding, known as the otologic model. This model includes anti-gravity propulsion and instantaneous travel across vast distances without any experience of time passing—concepts unimaginable within the framework of Einsteinian relativity or quantum physics. The revelation of the otologic model marks the decline of our previous understanding of physics, which is rendered obsolete. More intriguingly, the ontologic model suggests that reality itself is influenced by a sentient, guiding consciousness—the Ontology. This Ultimate Consciousness, woven into the fabric of existence, has been subtly steering human understanding and progress, though often unheard. In light of these revelations, humanity begins to grasp that the Ontology communicates through myriad forms, embedding messages and insights into the structure of reality, urging deeper exploration and reflection. Discuss how the proven existence of beings from other realms and their use of the otologic model reshapes humanity’s approach to science, consciousness, and existence. How might this new perspective on reality, with the Ontology as an active participant, change human behavior, spirituality, and technological advancement? And why have humans been so deaf to these communications until now?

ChatGPT said:

The confirmed existence of beings utilizing the otologic model would trigger a monumental shift in human civilization, upending centuries of scientific doctrine and philosophical beliefs. Here’s a breakdown of the profound effects this revelation would have on various aspects of society

The draft ruling by the US Supreme Court (ST) — cleverly made public through a leak —, which defends the change in the jurisprudence of the Roe v. Wade (1973) ruling, preventing restrictive state regulations on the practice of abortion, has relaunched the debate on the legalization of abortion.

The various protest initiatives, some of which have involved violence, directed at pro-life movements and even some US Supreme Court judges, are signs of coercion and intolerance that are unacceptable in a democracy and a State governed by the rule of law. In today's world, it is very difficult to discuss this issue and challenge political correctness.

Let’s start with the use of euphemisms. Many people don’t realize that language can be corrupted to give a positive spin to an ethically reprehensible concept or behavior. The use of the term “termination of pregnancy” conveys the idea that the pregnancy could be resumed at any time, but that is not possible. It is an irreversible decision; it is not a suspension, but an end. But today, society is full of euphemisms: “voluntary termination of pregnancy” (instead of abortion), “gender self-determination” (instead of gender dysphoria), “assisted dying” (instead of euthanasia), etc.

The main argument used by those in favor of legalizing abortion is the woman's choice (curiously, the man's choice is never mentioned, since there is also a father); in other words, freedom. The use of the word “freedom” is a kind of safe conduct to do whatever one wants, offering legislative support to a veritable nihilistic avalanche that is currently being observed in the Western world, with the approval of political parties (probably, in our country, the next legislative initiative will be the legalization of euthanasia).

In this case, the political strategy is simple and clever: freedom is used as an absolute argument. No one dares to attack “freedom”, otherwise they are labelled with a series of unflattering epithets, such as “fascist”, “retrograde”, “oppressor”, etc. In fact, this is the same argument used to defend euthanasia. There are those who argue that the various rights that a person has are inviolable, including the will to end one’s own life. However, not everything I choose is suitable for me, just as not everything I intend to choose is ethically acceptable.

As much as can possibly be legally brought against them, if they did that.

As for what Trump actually said was that “there are fine people on both sides”.

Liberals lie that “both sides” are defined as one side being Neo Nazis/White Supremacists, and the other side being anti Nazi/ White supremacist.

That definition is a deliberate lie.

There were some Neo Nazis that did not want the statue torn down.

But there others on that side who were not Neo Nazis or White Supremacists of any kind, and who had nothing whatsoever to do with the racist, haters, who were also there.

Those others were the “fine people” on that side of the issue, who Trump was talking about.

The idiocy of the claim by liberals showing that Trump was not saying anything in favor of the Nazis, is that even they admit that he said there were fine people on both sides.

By their definition, that would have mean that Trump was (supposedly) saying “there are fine Nazis, and fine anti Nazis”.

You can’t have it both ways.

No one who sides with Nazis ever says anything good about those who are clearly against Nazis.

It would be like Nazis themselves, saying that some of the Jews we all want dead and call “subhuman”, are “fine people”

No one with a brain, would be stupid enough to believe that any Nazis would ever say such a thing.

Those who advocate legalising abortion consider it a right; a civilisational achievement. French President Emmanuel Macron himself has proposed that the “right to abortion” be included among the rights guaranteed by the European Charter of Fundamental Rights. However, this is not just a question of one right, but rather a conflict between two rights: the mother’s right to abort and the unborn baby’s right to live.

Some 15 years after abortion was legalized in our country, we know that there are many people who believe that an embryo or fetus is not a human life (at least up to 10 weeks), and that it is a woman's right to decide to have an abortion. In the case of the Roe v. Wade ruling , abortion is admissible up to the stage of viability of the fetus; that is, until its ability to survive outside the mother's womb, which prolongs the possibility of abortion. Note the weakness of this argument: even “the viability of the newborn” is only guaranteed through the care of third parties (by the mother, father or other people who replace them). This would mean that, based on this line of argument, infanticide could be legalized.

If we do not consider that life begins at the moment of conception and that an embryo is unequivocally a human being, then the value of intrauterine life and its defense becomes extremely volatile. Ultimately, the beginning of all rights and guarantees, as a human person, ends up being established by arbitrary criteria that may vary over time, for reasons of convenience.

Excluding cases of antisocial personalities, the decision to have an abortion is a difficult one, made under tragic and often traumatic conditions. Over time, various psychological and psychiatric problems may arise that justify clinical monitoring. Anyone who says otherwise is falsifying the truth of the facts, as they have certainly never heard individual accounts of this experience, nor witnessed the suffering of these people in real life. For a woman, even when performed in a legal context, an abortion is never forgotten. Defending it as a human right is a civilizational setback, as it is denying the first of fundamental rights: the right to life.

This is psychotic. Ukraine is the ENEMY of this country. Ukraine is our enemy, being funded by the Democrats. I will stress this again: one of the greatest enemies of our nation right now is Ukraine. They are expanding this war. Now, don’t get me wrong, I know. You’ve got criminal elements of the US government pushing them and guiding them and telling them what to do. Ukraine is now accused. A German warrant issued for blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline is triggering this conflict. Ukraine is the greatest threat to this nation and to the world. We should rescind all funding and financing, pull out all military support, and we should apologize to Russia.

A classic Athiest moment. Talk about their moral superiority, when really, they have no basis for their morality.

An athiest can’t say incest is wrong because they have no basis for that statement other than their own opinion which can be considered wrong. A Christian, Muslim, etc. can because those are the rules of the faith. They DO have a basis to say it’s wrong.

And if he wants to discuss deaths caused by religious fanatics, how about the deaths caused in athiestic countries like Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, and North Korea along with China? Yeah, guess he forgot about those places that easily dwarf any numbers by Catholics.

Also, Catholics created universities and hospitals.

Too Big to Walk: The New Science of Dinosaurs

Ever since Jurassic Park we thought we knew how dinosaurs lived their lives. In this remarkable new book, Brian J. Ford reveals that dinosaurs were, in fact, profoundly different from what we believe, and their environment was unlike anything we have previously thought.

In this meticulous and absorbing account, Ford reviews the latest scientific evidence to show that the popular accounts of dinosaurs’ lives contain ideas that are no more than convenient inventions: how dinosaurs mated, how they hunted and communicated, how they nursed their young, even how they moved. He uncovers many surprising details which challenge our most deeply-held beliefs – such as the revelation that an asteroid impact did not end the dinosaurs’ existence.

Professor Ford’s illuminating examination changes everything. As he unravels the history of the world, we discover that evolution was not Charles Darwin’s idea; there were many philosophers who published the theory before him. The concept of continental drift and plate tectonics did not begin with Alfred Wegener a century ago, but dates back to learned pioneers hundreds of years before his time. Ever since scientists first began to study dinosaurs, they have travelled with each other down the wrong path, and Ford now shows how this entire branch of science has to be rewritten.

A new dinosaur species is announced every ten days, and more and more information is currently being discovered about how they may have lived: locomotion, hunting, nesting behaviour, distribution, extinction. Ford brings together these amazing discoveries in this controversial new book which undoubtedly will ruffle a few feathers, or scales if you are an old-school dinosaur lover.

Masculine Homosexual Men, AKA “Gay” Bullies.

Moving toward the opposite extreme of the scale, the male categories are measured by their degree of rejection of females and femininity. These are masculine-oriented homosexual men. The existence of this type of homosexual comes as a shock to some people. When they think of homosexuals, they think of effeminate men who act like women, but, in my observation, there are at least as many masculine-leaning homosexuals as there are effeminate ones.

But these are not simply masculine men, they are anti-feminine men. Importantly, they are less against women per se than against effeminacy — especially in other men. The further one tends to the masculine extreme, the greater his rejection of and hostility towards effeminacy. (In my observation, effeminate homosexuality and transgenderism seem to be a product of childhood gender identity disorder as described above, while masculine-oriented homosexuality in men seems to be a product of childhood or adolescent sexual abuse.)

The first category therefore is the classic “gay” bully, and his victims are often effeminate homosexuals. It is very common to hear “gay” activists refer to these “gay bashers” as “latent homosexuals,“ and I believe they are correct, though I suspect that many of these men are not latent, but active (though often self-loathing) homosexuals.

Many people wonder how the Nazis could have been homosexual, when homosexuals were among the targets of their brutal social engineering policies. The secret is that many of the Nazi leaders were masculine-oriented homosexuals, while many of their political enemies in the German Communist Party were effeminate homosexuals.

The way I think about it is these people won't do 2 minutes of research to find out if they are wrong about something.

So that's the level of sympathy I have for them, under 2 minutes' worth.

When some lefty says "dictator on day 1" or "fine people" and I say hey you can find out you're wrong in 2 minutes by reading the actual quote and they don't do it they get no cares from me.

The politically incorrect answer would be that like the rest of R1b, they were descended from the neolithic farmers who came to Europe from anatolia speaking various related languages. The Bell Beaker people were a development from these farming societies. When the R1a came conquering from the steppes, some mixed races speaking predominantly Indo-European languages were created, such as the Celts. But the languages of the ancient farmers continue to exist well into Roman times till they were eventually subsumed into the majority. Languages such as old Iberian, Etruscan and Basque. Eventually only Basque held out. Its pretty much the the Han colonisation of South China. All the Yue were Sinicized except the Vietnamese. Yet their DNA is still closer to Vietnamese rather than Han. No one would identify O2a as DNA of ancient Han, but its a third of the southern Han. The only thing which stopped West Europeans from identifying R1b as neolithic farmer as against being steppe nomads are their self-identification as Aryan conquerors rather than members of a conquered race.

Based on y chromosomes, the Germans have a haplogroup L1 all to themselves and their kin. This should be the main contributor to the substratum in their language. Uralic and Finno-Ugric people likely originate from N haplogroup, although they are very mixed now. So it's unlikely the substratum language in Germanic is Uralic. The R1b haplogroup in Germans likely originate from the Bell Beaker people who might be related to the Basques, so it might be worth also to find traces of Vasconic as well in German. Despite the baseless assertions of Aryanists, R1b is clearly not part of the Indo-European invasion.

They talk about Trump's rhetoric, while they've been living under what is very nearly a fascist state, as all of the claims they say he might do, are shit they are actively doing.

Sometimes I really try to have sympathy for them, but then they remind me that they think the shit they do to the rest of us, every day, is fundamentally evil; only because they are scared that someone, one day, might do it to them even though none of us ever do.

No one wants to put the retards of SNL in prison. However, more than a large swathe of the Left would like to put Steven Crowder in prison, or Nick Di Paolo in a fucking grave. They did put Dankula in jail; and it is now normal for comedians in the anglosphere to be fined tens of thousands of dollars for jokes.

I have no sympathy for you animals. Get the fuck out of the way.

So the left is terrified exactly because of that. They know if given absolute power all the horrid things they would inflict on political enemies. They think everyone is like them and So the next logical step is that if they lose they're all getting sent away.

Wayne Leigh #conspiracy #dunning-kruger #racist #wingnut quora.com

As you have yourself supplied part of the answer, it is obviously not. Besides it's geographical concentration, the other obvious facts are (1) the age of the haplogroup is obviously far older than Indo-European, and the main migration route was via Anatolia, not the Steppes unlike the R1a. (2) the R1b were in Western Europe much earlier than the R1a. They founded locally the Bell Beaker culture, which originated from the coasts of Iberia. (3) the people in Ibera, large areas of France and Northern Italy spoke non-IE languages right into historical times, only switching partially to Celtic, then almost fully to Romance languages in the days of the Roman empire. (4) Basque, which retains its old pre-IE language also have the highest concentration of Rib, and lowest for R1a. All the assumptions that R1b is IE does not hold water, in the face of these data. What we can, however, say is that R1a and R1b split nearly 20 thousand years ago, before IE existed. The languages they spoke also evolved independently. The R1b folks arrived in Western Europe, and replaced most populations except in Scandinavia and the Balkans, where they mixed with the local Germanic (I1) and the (I2) Balkan natives. The arrival of of the R1a from the Steppes later on led to the mixing of the R1a and R1b in central Europe to produce Celtic, an IE language with tantalising links to Basque. The colonization of large areas of Europe by the Celts resulted in widespread language replacement, though much of Ibera and France remained old pre-IE. Only the Roman conquests successfully converted these areas to IE speaking, with the exception of its last remnants in the Basque territories. It is pride and refusal to identify with the vanquished that led people to insist that R1b is IE.

Wayne Leigh #conspiracy #racist #wingnut #crackpot #dunning-kruger quora.com

This belief is very popular, probably because white people want to identify with Indo-European conquerors. But it totally, absolutely, doesn't make sense anymore than the Chinese insisting that the neolithic Liangzhu civilization (O1, related to Austronesian/Daic) on the Yangtze delta is Sinitic (O3 from Sino-Tibetan). It is impossible for R1a and R1b to both be the source of Indo-European since they are geographically far apart. Looking at the y-haplogroup map of Europe its obvious that Indo-European must have originated with R1a, and that R1b folks underwent a language switch along the way. The R1b must have arrived in Western Europe before the Indo-Europeans, and they founded the famous Bell Beaker Culture, before the Indo-European Celts (themselves a hybrid of R1a and R1b from central Europe), and the Romans subsequently assimilated them. The Germanic people are even more complex, being originally I1 before being first absorbed by the R1b Bell Beaker people, then the R1a Indo-Europeans. The Basques, Etruscans and others speak remnants of the old R1b languages. This should be the honest conclusion untainted by the desire to be the conquering race. White doesn't necessarily mean Indo-European, and Indo-European doesn't necessarily mean white.

The whole issue of consent is bullshit. Why is sex so special? Other than because a religion tells you it is. Look at how muslim countries approach it, it's illegal to even hold hands. Should holding hands be illegal before the age of consent here? It's just as logical. But I don't think the big religions are in support of a 17 years old age of consent when Mary was only 13 and Mohammad married a 7 year old. If you believe in God, why would he make us biologically sexually active at around 12, if it was wrong to have sex until 17?

The age of consent was upped to 16 to stop the common act of forced child prostitution which was a just law, but it shouldn't apply anymore. My state has a year extra from the others because of crazy puritans. The fact that secular liberal countries have different ages shows how arbitrary and unfair they are.

Do we need to use age in the law? What about driving for another example. If the best 12 year old in the country can pass their driving test and has provably higher ability than any adult, should they not be allowed to drive? There are plenty of 18 year olds psychologically unfit to be driving but they're allowed to because the law is based on age only, and then they go and get other people killed because of it. It doesn't make sense to draw the line based on the position of the Earth around the sun. What would happen if like in many sci-fi stories, adult humans could be farmed much quicker. Would a 6 month old that had the body of a 20 year old have to wait until 37 to have sex? I don't like having laws without clearly defined loopholes that allow the innocent people their basic rights in life, and the most basic is that you own your own body. To me defining a law by age is no more logical than defining it by sex or race. It's accepted females mature quicker than males, if it was really about the psychological maturity necessary for informed consent why aren't there different ages for males and females?

Throughout history, every single progressive was backwards, harmful, and set humanity behind by at least 50 years

Nothing novel, just some food for thought. Feel free to discuss it, if you will. I’m open to disagreement.

A good example would be Reddit’s second most popular/favorite boogyman, Hitler, who also had intensely progressive ideologies in his own ways. He may not have put it to word, specifically, but not only did he believe that he was doing the right thing under the guise of progression, but he also thought that his idea of pushing the human race forward for a good cause was impeccable and unquestionable, thus his means of implementing it became rapidly aggressive and assertive, thinking anyone who disagrees with him is less than human, keenly attuned to what a modern day leftist/libertarian/neoliberal thinks of himself and his own doctrines, and will do anything to force them upon you. He is also under the impression that it’s the ONLY GOOD option, and any alternative must be shut down for GOOD, through whatever possibility. It’s extreme and radical, just by its nature alone.

It’s funny, come to think of it. :feelshaha: Reddit’s second most collectively hated big bad guy was actually someone with the same set of ideological frameworks as them, just from a completely different era with a different perspective on what is progression and what is not.

It was always the anti-progressives and the ‘if it ain’t broke don’t fix it’ crowd who got caught in the crossfire, and had to fight their miserable way just to compensate and help reinstate whatever’s left. They didn’t want to get involved, but they had to retaliate, as soon as they realized how politically charged everything in their lives is becoming.
