I swear when it comes to people like Allsup, it's like watching a documentary about a particular conspiracy theory all the way to the end just for some guy like Allsup to whisper in your ear "oh and by the way, it's ***tHe JeWs***".

Allsup >>>> Pakman

They're both shit

Problem solved

Yeah, Matt and Rebecca rule them both

Fact

if many people make that connection about the jews, maybe there could be some truth on that.

Trying to draw connections between your average jewish person and the few who are in powerful positions (and specifically the ones often associated with conspiracy theories) is exactly the same as feminists trying to draw a connection between the average man and all successful males. It's such a lazy conclusion, all you'd have to do is think for five seconds and realize that there are so few jews that supposedly control the world compared to the jewish population that it most likely has nothing to do with jewish heritage. At least the socialists simply identify "the rich" as the problem, which while still a lazy distinction still takes a few more brain cells than "it's the jews"

Yes. When these kinds of theorists say "the jews", they're using a lazy shorthand for "The disproportionate minority of wealthy jews within positions of power that collectively work towards a generally homogenous goal".

That the Jews are very Tribal and discriminate against other people doesn't help.
If you watch the "MAC Repair Guy" Louis Rossmann, he tells you about his jewish Landlord who would have made the Rent far cheaper if he was a Jew.

Jones is probably more accurate when he refers to "the globalists", which encompasses those with similar goals and in similar situations.

Ah Democrats. A party that is so against "gun violence", they want to cause a civil war and nuke their own citizens because the latter don't want their constitutional rights stolen from them.

What little scraps of it remain.

California should be allowed to secede.

The problem with that is that a lot of the US would then be forced to make a choice between options. I do think a mutual parting of ways, a split of the US, is more likely than a civil war. Certainly more desirable. That said, it would be a terrible thing to happen and I think most of us are smart enough to recognize that were better together than separate.

I'm an American, a patriot, and I think most living in population centers feel the same way.

Don't make the mistake of listening just to the noisy ones.

"would be a terrible thing to happen and I think most of us are smart enough to recognize that were better together than separate"

sounds like a UK Remainer

The US is a much tighter union than the EU. It's been over 100 years since the last time one of our states was an independent nation. And only 15 of our states can claim to ever have been.

That was meant to be a joke

I was going to say “State Enforced Honosexuality is the best way for social cohesion” but then I thought that was probably too shitposty

There are a lot of noisy people on both left and right talking about it so I choose the respond truthfully when it comes up.

Yes, but what proof do you have that it would be horrible once you gloss over the transition period?

Can you really argue gun friendly states are better off stuck in a union with gun unfriendly states? Where the Federal government is used as a battleground to force each-other's orthodoxy on the dissenters?

Its a lack of understanding,

Caused by people locking themselves up in their room and only living in social bubbles

as well as traveling systems preventing cross-over

city people for example tend to have no idea how life is like in rural areas

And they use airplanes to fly from city to city, so they'll never encounter rural areas

and cuz they're in a social bubble, they think they are the majority cuz the majority of the people they know agree with them

As well as that the people in rural areas don't grasp that cuz of people living so close on each other so massively, theres more systems in place, people don't form tight knit communities, and they have general safety,

As well as more insanity due to more numbers of people

the gun issue wasn't really an issue until the last 20-30 years, when it became a scapegoat for people not understanding, and poor management

as well as shifting cultural climates,

Don't forget that in 1988, California was a red state, and it flipped,

Just like in 1976 Texas was a blue state that flipped

Gun control dates back a long time. A lot of the cities in the "wild west" actually had complete gun bans in the city limits (considering this would include places like Kansas City and most other places of famous gunfights...you can see how well that worked).

The big modern push was the 1938 National Firearms Act which was a response to the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. The two other major pieces of legislation were responses to the assassination of JFK and the attempted assassination of Reagan. For the most part, it is true that guns are usually a scapegoat for other issues.

And there is a strong urban rural divide. The cities really don't interact with the rural parts anymore and tend to demonize them. The arrogance and condescension from people like Colbert is, in my opinion, a major driver of polarization at the current moment.

this is why they get called Elitists

the demonize these Rural people because they are like alien

they use these "bad" words they don't know are bad because no one out there uses anything else.

you can use racist words while not intending to be racist

When quoting Blazing Saddles, for example.

You either quote it uncensored, or don't quote it at all.

the elites make of this illusion that words are the important part not the intent or context to keep the lower class fighting among themselves. And those who pretend to be in the elite but are too dumb to really be in it play along like the puppets they are

i think i find more genuinely nice people out in the sticks than i do in cities.

Cat, weren't you the one arguing that a state does not have the right to secede from the union?

I pointed to the precedent of the US Civil War, yes. That said, given an Act of Congress brings a state in, it could be argued that a similar Act could pave a departure.

That has yet to be explored to my knowledge

I felt like everything that I have believed in is challenged

No one is wrong, and No one is right.

What determines the rightful things is a common sense?

Not quite groking you on that last sentence.

Congratulations ihereou, you have just discovered the ideology of relativity

the most destructive line of thinking in our modern age

@ihereou of course no-one is totally right. We all get things to a varying degree of right or wrong, and it is the responsibility of each individual to learn what is right and what is wrong in order to avoid being deceived

I'm right, y'all are wrong
Problem solved

I like the way you think @Beemann

Slave mentalities are for chumps 👌

Slave moralities even

<:TimThink:482277772497125378>

Beemann over here be droppin some ***wOkEnEsS*** on us

The slave morality results in your victimization and oppression. It is subjugation seeking
The master morality is the path of the ubermensch, the alpha and omega chad. It is the only way to truly achieve historically significant chaditude, and it involves deciding that some things are, in fact, totally correct

Inb4 asking what those things are

http://www.universitytimes.ie/2018/11/tedx-trinity-postpones-feminism-talk-after-diversity-objections/

_"TEDx Trinity has postponed a proposed discussion on modern-day feminism, after several students objected to the all-white, all-Irish panel that was scheduled to speak."_

I'm sorry, you people are all too Irish to talk in Ireland

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't white people indigenous to Ireland?

Perhaps I should rephrase.

Aren't the indigenous people of Ireland white?

**YES**

Maybe they should show up to the conference draped in raw wool and smeared in woad.

Maybe they should all drop dead

Also from the article

_"Shubhangi Karmakar, the Treasurer of the Graduate Students’ Union (GSU) and the founder of Repealist, said in a tweet that “pale and female is getting a bit stale too”."_

Heeeeeeeeeeeeelp

Nothing can save them. The European continent is lost.

at least we're not sinking in the atlantic

Ireland has no counter voice to the progressives

Our media and academics adore them, both our big parties pander to them, we have passive aggressive progressives on the ground, we've voted overwhelmingly progressive in the last two referendums, and we're all spouting the same "EU great, migrant crisis great, everything I don't like is alt right" rhetoric

At least the UK and US have some parties offering diversity of thought

Our 'alternative', the national party, is teensy tiny

Reminds me of my home country of Canada

Wow

That sounds like hell

God, could you imagine being a conservative in Sweden?

Or even just a left or right libertarian would probably still be ostracized there

Centrist

I can't wait until we start hearing about people being actively punished by the government for wrongth--oh wait that's already been happening nvm

The big difference here in Canada is that our alternative (conservative) party is too corporatist and in some cases too traditionally conservative. The liberals were our center-left party that were supposed to be the reasonable ones, but they've fallen off the rails entirely and joined the NDP (socialist party) when it comes to social issues but not on economic issues.

Cons also like progshit

Liberals are just neolibs+socjus like the Dems

This is why the People's Party is the only real opposition rn

I would say that the liberals were still pro-capitalist but at this point I don't even think Trudeau takes the economy into consideration. Back when the whole pipeline fiasco had started in the news, Trudeau ran off to NYU for a public speaking event. He still hasn't done anything, essentially letting our oil industry pack up and leave.

He's spineless to the point where he's afraid to take sides

Neolibs aren't necessarily pro market, just pro corporate

Pro global trade as well

I could probably go all day typing walls of text about this stuff. I need a youtube channel lol

Wew

But yeah the PPC is really the only alternative to stagnation

Biggest issue here is apathy

I haven't really taken much of a look at the PPC, just kinda assumed that it would be taken over by ethnonationalists as those types of parties usually are

They're getting a lot of the more actual right wing con base and the libertarians from what I can tell
https://www.peoplespartyofcanada.ca/platform

So far it's just Classical Liberalism: The Party

I really hope so, if they can gain some popularity and maintain this center-left/right balance then I would definitely vote for them in 2019

I know a hardcore Libertarian who immediately signed up to be a founding member

Otherwise I don't think I'd even vote. Scheer just seems like a conservative version of Trudeau but with a better speaking ability

That's why Bernier left the cons
