Sorry UKIP got 1 seat

and the guy moved back to conservative

So the scottish national party got 56 seats and got 4.7% of the vote

And the guardian lied about labour's percentage. I should have got it from the BBC

lol these party names

Class war

Monster Raving Loony Party

Respect Party

YorkshireFirst

yeh

there is are some separatist movements in the UK for counties

Can I report tweets threatening to kill the Covington kids to the FBI/police?

I did

Yes

Just wait until the media tries to frame this as an "alt right witch hunt" by reporting those threatening tweets

But good, Im going to as well if I see any myself

I also tagged whatever local PD was appropriate when possible. Oddly enough most of the tweets seemed to come from SF or LA.

Imagine my shock lol

I am pretty sure it falls under the DOJ perview anyways

there was also a google doc floating around which was compiling tweets, for legal purposes

Yeah from CJ Pearson

Here is the right link if you want to report this by the way

Thanks.

So what are people's opinions on the Supreme Court allowing Trump to enforce his transgender military ban?

Wasn't the reasoning stated that their health issues would be too much of a burdern on the military?

gender dysphoria being a 4-F is fine to me

there's actually even a line in the rules about amputated penises that produce urination problems

I think institutions need to be allowed to acknowledge the medical problems of transsexuals

making it discrimination to do that will cause serious problems, that everyone will resent, that no one will want to deal with, that everyone will be forced to do anyway

Its fine to have health standards for the military. Add on the fact that suicide rates are high amongst transpeople and honestly, it makes sense

Trans people should be banned. You can't be in if you take any regular meds that you can't be separated from. If you're trans, then you're taking hormones.

I'm prior service, btw.

TYFYS

From your experience, do you find that servicemen are better or worse people than the average American citizen?

Neither

they mostly act like normal people

So some are good

some are bad

and some are batshit

Since I was in the military just like the rest of the world you got your scumbags and you got your cool people.

Yeah you have the shirkers and you have the dutiful as well.
Soldiers are just people at the end of the day, I like to think there are more good ones then bad ones though.

I'm glad others agree with my take on the ban

So why is it ok for all the racial and sex orientation pride groups to get glowing statements on wikipedia

Except for white pride?

Personally I think racial pride overall is dumb. National pride is the one that actually matters

That's my thing. I'm American first, but I feel like a lot of people put their heritage first, even if it's something that they've never experienced

I put American as my ethnicity on applications whenever I get the “other” option lol

For real tho. Technically Im Italian but Ive never lived in Italy

Around where I live there's a pretty decent sized bald eagle population. I've scared my wife on more than one occasion because every time I see one, even if I'm in the middle of a sentence I yell "AMERICA"

My family just eats more Italian cuisine and thats the extent of my heritage’s influence

LOL

true patriot

I'm Irish by heritage, and I've visited Ireland, lived in the UK and I loved it. I'm still American first.

^

But now if you say that you're a nationalist or *gasp* a patriot it's called white supremacy somehow

I went to Dublin and there's nothing there it was weird af

I'm just sitting here with a wife who isn't white and an ex wife who was actually here illegally like yeah that makes perfect sense /s

Same, I was a surprised when I went to Edinburgh too

i aint been to scotland though. I remember not seeing any skyscrapers when going over Dublin

Yeah, it's kind of weird seeing a major city that doesn't look like what they do in other parts of the world. Then again DC doesn't have many tall buildings either

Teddy had it right
“There is no room in this country, for hyphenated Americanism…German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans. There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.”

Wtb teddies progressive party

I hadn't seen that quote before. I like it.

He said a lot of good things that would make neu "progressives" cringe
“Any discrimination against aliens is a wrong, for it tends to put the immigrant at a disadvantage and to cause him to feel bitterness and resentment during the very years when he should be preparing himself for American citizenship. If an immigrant is not fit to become a citizen, he should not be allowed to come here. If he is fit, he should be given all the rights to earn his own livelihood, and to better himself, that any man can have.”

Any book that you'd recommend on him? I've been wanting to learn more about Roosevelt but I prefer an actual book to combing through a bunch of different internet articles

Not really off hand

I am sure there are some good biographies he is one of the best politicians in us history

Like when he was a police commissioner he was enforcing an unpopular law that was not being enforced by his predecessor, and told them if you want it changed, change the law bad laws should be stricken not ignored.
And when they held a parade about how much he pissed them off he showed up to it in person.

People don't seem to understand that. If you don't like a law, that doesn't mean that it isn't a law.

Is it transphobic to think that supporting the transition of children is disgusting?

Pretty sure there was a child psychologist who was fired because of activists because he said that some kids actually grow out of it. Also, that those kids are more likely to be gay.

pretty sure he was a specialist

i mean, i read this is a news article...that I should find, because now i'm sounding like the mainstream media.

Doing anything other than caving in to trans people is transphobic

Its another slur youll have to get used to if you want to talk about politics

Well I believe changing your gender makes you an abomination

Because if you aren't male or female what you are isn't natural

I do sometimes wonder if this isnt due to living in a modern society more than anything else

Theres been a lot of talk about not conforming to sterotypical guy or girl behaviors in the past decade

here's the article if anyone wants to read it https://www.cbc.ca/news/opinion/transgender-kids-documentary-1.4453667

Perhaps people just think theyll be happier as the other gender because they wont be strange for liking things that are "outside of the norm" for their standard gender

On this subject

girls get TOO mad when you ask them to make you a sandwich

Which is weird to say because im not sure there are that many activities/actions/lifestyle choices that are confined to one gender or the other

I swear half of them get mad as a self defense to the fact they can't cook

Since most girls my age can't cook

Ive got two friends who are currently going through the process and im doing my best not to treat them any different

I dont want to ask them all the questions that are on my mind because i know they get enough of that from everyone else in their lives

I had an aquaintence that went through the process, I just shrugged it off, she is an adult and entitiled to do what she wants, my opinion is she did it too fast after a bit uphevial in her life, I said as much when she started, but she didn't heed my advice, so *shrug* she can chose for herself.

Frankly I dont understand why people do it

The same reason why some people try to chop their own limbs off.

didnt know that was a thing

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_integrity_dysphoria

I give them a rundown of the dangers and that's about it

welp

thats enough internet for today

lol

lol

I mean, there's a neurological basis for gender dysphoria

But I personally don't think transitioning is the right answer

i agree

for the most part

they should maybe learn to accept the natural order of being a man or woman, imo

You don't treat schizophrenia by affirming their unrealistic beliefs and assuring them the voices in their head are real

Thats the part which confuses me the most

So why treat gender dysphoria that way

The widespread acceptance of it

Well, if you can get the mainstream media conglomerates on board with it, you can convince the majority of citizens to go along with it

Because we are capable of it, and it is easier to make it true then to fix the neurological issues.

Not really, the real reason is it is political correct.

I genuinely do no understand why this mental illness not only gets a pass but everyone other than the afflicted is required to partake in it

well, things don't become "politically correct" for no reason, there's always an agenda behind it

but yeah i feel like there should be far more research into actually treating gender dysphoria as a mental illness instead of just yup let's cut your dick off and get you on hormones

I think its like 80% guy to girl and 20% girl to guy

also, what are people doing with all these spare dicks? can I get like 6 dicks attached to me?

They dont cut it off they turn it inside out

lol right

but that's not as funny

the rate would seem to suggest that its far more preferable to be a girl than a guy in modern society

or at least that it appears that way

bUt MuH mAlE pRiViLeGe

Well it is more advantageous to be a woman honestly.

But the trans person I know I later found out was a rapist before their transition, so yeah.... I think that might have had something to do with it.

@Misomania sorry <#463054787336732683> is getting too clogged up for me to follow one thread at a time.

@Misomania have you been following the lighthouse project?

@ʇooNʇooN yep, diana davidson's channel is what showed me what they do and how bad it is all getting. She's either a member or a founder, cannot remember atm

@Misomania she works with john the other

i've followed their stuff back when they were still at AVFM

double checked, she was the co-founder

and the stuff she brings light to should scare the fuck out of people. Such as this https://twitter.com/d2davison/status/881368541085040641

shit that happens in canada will happen in california next

i think that canada is the testing ground for this kind of law

they tried to cut corners to secure more convictions in the UK

but it all fell apart when the appeals came about

but I got an immense following list. Instead of tv I have a monitor with a fire tv stick in it just playing videos passively

wall mounted the monitor, has built in speakers and I ceased watching tv entirely

same

the one thing i dislike about the new algorithm

and the adpolcalypso

is that long form content is becoming more and more commonplace

i still remember when it was just 10 minute videos and podcasts/internet radio kind of setups

either way it's far better then cable tv for me

people put more work into keeping it down to a sensible length

and since it's passively in the background as I work being long isn't a problem

i gave up on any kind of traditional broadcast well over a decade ago

what i miss was the low documentaries

that were actually written and presented by academically minded people

on subjects that they personally knew about

now it's ancient aliens and ice road truckers

okay my boomer rant is over

lol

have you found any others like the lighthouse proj in canada?

come one, there was honey boo boo as well

i avoided that one

a lot, ya. would have to look in my list

no worries

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/new-york-celebrates-legalizing-abortion-until-birth-as-catholic-bishops-question-cuomos-faith

I'm not a pro life person however this I cannot agree with under any circumstances

well, tbf, only leftists will have abortions, which means leftists will kill themselves out, so right-wingers will eventually balance out and reverse that

well you don't really have to go for an abortion if you don't want to

How is a dude going to have an abortion

and well if the mother's health at risk i'd rather lose 1 than 2

I ain't finna cut off my testes

no i mean, if you're in the mother's place.

And why not save the baby, not the mother

cause the mother has a higher chance of survival

especially if the baby isn't due.

I think that's dangerous because it's essentially saying to the mother

`choose between your life or the babies'

keyword is choose

she can just ignore doing an abortion and keep carrying.

This will affect such a small number of scenarios

Medically necessary abortions these days are a minority

unless the baby has a genetic defect of some sort

no need to do an abortion

Babies can literally be born and live after 24 weeks

think about the aftermath.

you think a 24 week old infant will grow as well as a normal kid?

Not necessarily

However babies can be born safely early

My cousin was born after 28 weeks and she is healthy and has no defects or anything wrong now

They can grow up to be normal kids

i never said they can't

And I think that abortion shouldn't be allowed ones that can potentially happen

it's just a game of probabilites and stuff like that

And I feel sorry for the doctors

Holy shit

doctors always have it hard.

Late term Abortions are fucking brutal to begin with

Never mind when you have a fully developed foetus comin at ya

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just the thought of it makes me physically wince

Fully developed human comes before fully developed foetus if it's a trolley problem

^

Nah let the person die smh

Living is gay anyway

solid points.

Put everyone in the volcano

I mean if your white you may as well just die anyway

Let's re build auswitz and throw all the whites in theee

uhhhh

<:TimThink:482277772497125378>

i can supply ya whole lot

"Under the Reproductive Health Act, non-doctors are now allowed to conduct abortions and the procedure could be done until the mother's due date. The previous law only allowed abortions after 24 weeks of pregnancy if a woman's life was at risk."

who cares about the U.S laws when you're not there

i'm just eating popcorn while watching the news about the shitstorm that's happening.

👍

Same, Venezuela has me quite amused rn.

Do you

Do you ***see this***

Can everyone else read the ***same shit i'm reading***

Shaun just said that we need to be living in a world where democratic socialists are considered right wing

He is clearly living in "La la land"

also saw one of his peers tweet that the debate around transgenderism is
"a toxic debate that trans people shouldnt have to hear"

so

you just cant have a discussion on the topic i guess

or else ur eeevil

"aoc is very good in a certain context, but honestly if we were even a quarter of the way to where we needed to be, aoc/bernie/corbyn etc would be considered right-wingers"

BRUH

this is why i dont take Shaun seriously

just another White apologist Communist

he is tbh

I think I've enjoyed a couple of his videos, but only because in those videos he holds himself back and expresses more moderate views in an attempt to appeal to people
it's clear those aren't his actual beliefs though

witness the purity spiral

communists in a bubble trying to outcommunist each other for years, because anyone insufficiently marxist is shunned

until marx isn't even communist enough

...well a purity spiral needs to involve a community destroying itself

my favorite forum died to one of those

yep, fully automated luxury gay space communism

a joke in 2008

no longer a joke in 2018

still not possible of course

the kind of deep thoughts that require starting over from elementary school to explain the wrongness of

just go join a fucking commune and get a firsthand lesson

jesus christ

what leads to an adult human being becoming this disconnected from reality?

"Privallage"

"Haha look at these 'white Supremists' looool they think they're being replaced as a people hahaha it's not like California permanently flipped Blue due to Illegal Immigration and white guilt liberals or anything, and the same thing TOTALLY isn't happening to Texas hahahahahah gtfo NAZI "

They find a community, and egg each other on.
