what conspiracys i have said so far?
i just gave bunch of really basic data

2018-10-29 13:37:33 UTC

My point is that things can only be taken out of scientific scepticism when they are literally scientific fact, and climate change is something that we simply dont have enough data on to understand what is going on and therefore as a science will always need to be under scientific scepticism

2018-10-29 13:38:32 UTC

this video addresses what you said, i think, Brakey
how climate advocacy has been coopted by radicals on the left

2018-10-29 13:38:41 UTC

and how climate denial has become a right-wing staple

2018-10-29 13:38:53 UTC

sorry, bad connection

2018-10-29 13:38:55 UTC

Treating these things as fact is unscientific, since we cannot run an experiment multiple times, pumping CO2 into the Earths atmosphere and observing what happens

2018-10-29 13:39:25 UTC

climate is changing, and aways will. but debate is over how much of it man made.

2018-10-29 13:39:54 UTC

we absolutely have enough data on climate change
geologists can gather data on climate throughout Earth's history

2018-10-29 13:40:45 UTC

Until theres a method to know exactly how many ppm of CO2 was in the atmosphere at all points in Earths history we will never know, and that is impossible

2018-10-29 13:40:54 UTC

and how accurate that data is?
and we are talking global temeratures not just one spot.

2018-10-29 13:42:04 UTC

recent data has 0.5C error margin.
And we are speaking 1.5C change....

2018-10-29 13:43:01 UTC

and old data is unrelaiable as hell.
we have only new satelite data that we can actually use

2018-10-29 13:43:32 UTC

<:NotLikeThis:313332634153517067>

2018-10-29 13:44:22 UTC

explain why do you belive in man made climate change. when clearly you havent looked up even most basic data?

2018-10-29 13:45:38 UTC

I'll just put it out there and say I refuse to 'believe' anything that cannot stand up to scientific scrutiny of experimentation and repetition under the specific parameters required. I'm a sceptic on evolutionary theory simply because it's impossible to repeat. Many scientific theories are based on assumptions and require belief, simply because due to the nature of their scale they cannot be tested repeatably.

2018-10-29 13:46:30 UTC

fair enough, Brakey
that kind of hardcore skepticism is impractical, but at least consistent

2018-10-29 13:47:04 UTC

it's true that most scientific Theories which are consensus nowadays are based on belief to some degree

2018-10-29 13:47:04 UTC

Men thought the world was flat until the technology appeared to circumnavigate the globe

2018-10-29 13:47:24 UTC

nah, ppl already calculated its radius way before that

2018-10-29 13:47:33 UTC

greek philosophers knew it was round

2018-10-29 13:47:38 UTC

It was a figure of speech

2018-10-29 13:47:50 UTC

๐Ÿ˜ƒ

2018-10-29 13:47:57 UTC

:P

2018-10-29 13:49:40 UTC

There are few things that should be considered as fact, very few, and one of them is the ability for water to boil at 100degrees c under standard atmospheric temperatures and pressures

2018-10-29 13:53:06 UTC

that's by definition though, not very amazing

2018-10-29 13:55:14 UTC

Well, yes. Theory always has its purpose, but I have a great deal of problem when scientific theory is stated as undeniable fact. It stifles scientific understanding. Since the theory of evolution has become so widely taught as fact, there has been no advancement in that line of theoretical thinking that doesn't use Darwin as a jumping point

2018-10-29 13:57:31 UTC

And the involvement of scientific theory in policy and politics is something that should always be under the highest scrutiny, because if the science should be held under scrutiny and scepticism, all the more that a politician should be since a politician is not held strictly by the scientific agenda

2018-10-29 13:59:41 UTC

You see that happening to gender. How would you like it if it is impossible to argue it since it is "undeniable".

2018-10-29 14:14:48 UTC

does the left even try to make themselves look good anymore

2018-10-29 14:46:42 UTC

finally

2018-10-29 14:51:23 UTC

Gab has added to their original statement. The one you get when you go to the website. Read it here https://gab.ai/Sunless_Sentinel

2018-10-29 15:01:06 UTC
2018-10-29 15:03:48 UTC

Wow

2018-10-29 15:05:20 UTC

more fake bombs....

2018-10-29 15:06:20 UTC

IS there a pic?

2018-10-29 15:06:25 UTC

Of the bomb?

2018-10-29 15:06:29 UTC

Sorry, "bomb"

2018-10-29 15:06:32 UTC

they arrested the actual guy, so these are copycats?

2018-10-29 15:07:32 UTC

oh, possibly just a delayed delivery lol

2018-10-29 15:07:38 UTC

Dunno, he might have had them on DD

2018-10-29 15:07:40 UTC

It's the same guy.

2018-10-29 15:07:41 UTC

CNN is losing viewers so much they make up bombs to try to stay in news.

2018-10-29 15:07:42 UTC

postal service doing his work for him

2018-10-29 15:07:42 UTC

For all we know

2018-10-29 15:07:47 UTC

If you read the article.

2018-10-29 15:07:57 UTC

Just didn't get delivered till now.

2018-10-29 15:08:17 UTC

at uni, not much time to read
will check it all out later

2018-10-29 15:08:31 UTC

jumping to conclusions is more fun anyway

2018-10-29 15:08:35 UTC

<:npc:498572319422414869>

2018-10-29 16:04:08 UTC

that's a start.

2018-10-29 16:09:32 UTC

But

2018-10-29 16:11:33 UTC

5000 trained warriors vs. 7000+ unarmed (mostly) men, women and children. almost overkill. Maybe 1000 with border patrol and national guard

2018-10-29 16:12:11 UTC

they're not being sent there to fight tho
just as a show of force

2018-10-29 16:12:26 UTC

... right?

2018-10-29 16:13:07 UTC

But if the migrants charge the border to power through force must be used

2018-10-29 16:13:40 UTC

It ain't gonna be a firing squad I hope.

2018-10-29 16:14:15 UTC

the caravans have never charged the border before, don't see why they'd start being suicidal now

2018-10-29 16:15:31 UTC

It's the home stretch mentality. Finish line in front of you. What would you do?

2018-10-29 16:16:13 UTC

Also group mentality can take over.

2018-10-29 16:16:42 UTC

And while Mexico was "guarding" their border the migrants started tearing down the fences to get through.

2018-10-29 16:19:57 UTC

Merkel to step down in 2021

2018-10-29 16:23:46 UTC

Not soon enough

2018-10-29 16:24:13 UTC

๐Ÿ‘Œ ๐Ÿ‘ˆ

2018-10-29 16:24:19 UTC

Agreed

2018-10-29 16:32:52 UTC

I repeat my previous statement.

2018-10-29 16:54:37 UTC

bullshit

2018-10-29 17:01:56 UTC

Should we tell him Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act?

2018-10-29 17:13:42 UTC

Will you let someone who is a literal Nazi live in your neighborhood?

2018-10-29 17:14:01 UTC

Or an ISIS idealogue?

2018-10-29 17:15:30 UTC

let?

2018-10-29 17:15:38 UTC

alternative being what?

2018-10-29 17:16:48 UTC

Jail him

2018-10-29 17:17:35 UTC

for what crime?

2018-10-29 17:17:36 UTC

oof, live in a neighborhood with a fascist or contribute to the prison system

2018-10-29 17:17:38 UTC

tough choice

2018-10-29 17:17:46 UTC

For being a Nazi?

2018-10-29 17:17:53 UTC

what statute. be specific.

2018-10-29 17:18:13 UTC

I would contribute to prison system any time xm

2018-10-29 17:18:25 UTC

well I guess we know what your answer is lmao

2018-10-29 17:18:28 UTC

What statute in legal terms?

2018-10-29 17:18:33 UTC

yes?

2018-10-29 17:18:50 UTC

you can't throw people in jail for breaking laws that don't exist.

2018-10-29 17:18:56 UTC

Not sure I can have it on my conscience to contribute another labourer to a corrupt for-profit state system

2018-10-29 17:19:04 UTC

@Atkins you can in a hypothetical question lol

2018-10-29 17:19:12 UTC

Being a Nazi is a hate crime

2018-10-29 17:19:13 UTC

you need to have a law being broken. and they need to have a trial where they are innocent until proven guilty.

2018-10-29 17:19:28 UTC

not in a hypothetical "would u rather" question lmao

2018-10-29 17:19:34 UTC

find me the law that defines hate crime in the united states.

2018-10-29 17:19:57 UTC

I don't know I am not from the US

2018-10-29 17:20:09 UTC

thank fucking god for that

2018-10-29 17:20:21 UTC

Even then if there aren't any laws dose t mean it's right

2018-10-29 17:20:38 UTC

Are you saying you will be ok if a Nazi is in your son's school

2018-10-29 17:20:48 UTC

Are in your neighborhood

2018-10-29 17:21:31 UTC

Yes?

2018-10-29 17:21:37 UTC

what i'm not ok with is randomly locking people up when no laws are being broken.

2018-10-29 17:21:43 UTC

We let people with different opinions live in society.

2018-10-29 17:21:48 UTC

le civil liberals :^)

2018-10-29 17:21:58 UTC

Laws are not moral

2018-10-29 17:22:05 UTC

how about we just start burning witches

2018-10-29 17:22:17 UTC

If there isnt a law for being pedophile would you be ok with thay

2018-10-29 17:22:21 UTC

Yes, not attacking someone for their beliefs is in fact moral.

2018-10-29 17:22:24 UTC

Are you saying you will be OK if a witch is in your son's school?

2018-10-29 17:22:39 UTC

A witch, in our neighborhood!?

2018-10-29 17:22:43 UTC

witches aren't violent extremists with a growing movement to create an ethnostate

2018-10-29 17:22:44 UTC

Torches! Pitchforks!

2018-10-29 17:22:46 UTC

I don't think GAB should tried as an accomplice but they should have banned him

2018-10-29 17:23:04 UTC

that's exactly what a witch would say...

2018-10-29 17:23:07 UTC

Atkins what the heck are you saying

2018-10-29 17:23:27 UTC

If there is a witch in my school I would want them jailed

2018-10-29 17:23:27 UTC

they're doing the liberal thing of saying all opinions are equal

2018-10-29 17:23:32 UTC

and we should tolerate all viewpoints

2018-10-29 17:23:38 UTC

Not fuckinh burn them

2018-10-29 17:23:50 UTC

Nazi literally hate jews

2018-10-29 17:23:59 UTC

So?

2018-10-29 17:24:02 UTC

Feminists hate men.

2018-10-29 17:24:03 UTC

so do muslims

2018-10-29 17:24:05 UTC

lmao

2018-10-29 17:24:05 UTC

We don't ban them.

2018-10-29 17:24:14 UTC

not really sure what you have against witches tbh

2018-10-29 17:24:15 UTC

better start tossing muslims in jail

2018-10-29 17:24:27 UTC

how can you tell who's a nazi?

2018-10-29 17:24:30 UTC

Not all feminist hate men I don't even like feminism don't make me defend them

2018-10-29 17:24:37 UTC

All Nazis hate Jews

2018-10-29 17:24:40 UTC

Not all Nazis hate Jews.

2018-10-29 17:24:40 UTC

@shinsoo throw them in a lake and see if they float

2018-10-29 17:24:49 UTC

Yeah the Holocaust didn't happen/s

2018-10-29 17:24:56 UTC

๐Ÿค”

2018-10-29 17:24:59 UTC

Wow, a Holocaust denier.

2018-10-29 17:25:00 UTC

Classy.

2018-10-29 17:25:12 UTC

It's sarcasm

2018-10-29 17:25:19 UTC

hard to tell around these parts

2018-10-29 17:25:25 UTC

I should've added it in the end sorry

2018-10-29 17:25:28 UTC

I mean, you are talking about punishing people for thoughts and beliefs.

2018-10-29 17:25:35 UTC

So, I did picture you with a red armband.

2018-10-29 17:25:56 UTC

Yeah you are thoughts about killing people is not fit in society

2018-10-29 17:26:05 UTC

if somebody just holds nazi beliefs, it's impossible and undesirable to punish them
if they actively try to bring about a nazi regime, for example by spreading their hatred online or by marching in the streets, then they are intentionally putting lives at risk and making clear that they want millions of people to die. **that** should be punishable

2018-10-29 17:26:12 UTC

I don't mind thinking it to yourself or keepkng to yourself

2018-10-29 17:26:15 UTC

"How do you know he is a nazi?"
"He looks like one!"

2018-10-29 17:26:26 UTC

The problem methdragon is that when you ostracise and shame someone, you remove any chance of talking sense into them, because you lose access to them

2018-10-29 17:26:38 UTC

You can do that in jail too

2018-10-29 17:26:46 UTC

I am not for death penalty

2018-10-29 17:26:53 UTC

the justice system should be rehabilitative

2018-10-29 17:27:03 UTC

I am for jail as a rehabilitativr institution

2018-10-29 17:27:10 UTC

Changing minds is a critical component of democracy. Which means the Nazis get to participate.

2018-10-29 17:27:13 UTC

How do you propose we arrest someone in a way where we don't make them feel like they're being targeted for their beliefs?

2018-10-29 17:27:37 UTC

you can't arrest people for beliefs

2018-10-29 17:27:39 UTC

@Atkins if he wears a hakenkruz yeah he is a nazi(context matters obviously)

2018-10-29 17:27:44 UTC

@Vigil who cares how they feel lol

2018-10-29 17:27:44 UTC

but you can arrest them for actions

2018-10-29 17:27:54 UTC

like trying to get millions of people killed

2018-10-29 17:27:56 UTC

Because then they get mad and shoot up a synagogue

2018-10-29 17:28:11 UTC

You can keep your beliefs to yourself

2018-10-29 17:28:15 UTC

You can't even arrest them for speech, because it's an essential part of how we function as a nation.

2018-10-29 17:28:16 UTC

@Vigil that's called violence, which is properly responded to with more force

2018-10-29 17:28:25 UTC

the allies didn't rationally talk with the nazis

2018-10-29 17:28:28 UTC

Saying is also an action shinso

2018-10-29 17:28:34 UTC

That's why there are consequences

2018-10-29 17:28:35 UTC

You can literally form a political party with the stated goal of creating laws and amending the Constitution to kill *everyone*.

2018-10-29 17:28:36 UTC

exactly

2018-10-29 17:28:44 UTC

So what?

2018-10-29 17:28:45 UTC

Smooth, what I'm saying is I'm more for talking things out and dealing with a problem before it becomes a problem

2018-10-29 17:28:57 UTC

public speech is an action and should be punishable

2018-10-29 17:29:02 UTC

I think GAB should have banned him

2018-10-29 17:29:03 UTC

@Vigil fascism, by and large, cannot be talked down

2018-10-29 17:29:16 UTC

Neither can communism.

2018-10-29 17:29:17 UTC

it is a natural evolution of a degenerated reactionary society

2018-10-29 17:29:19 UTC

Better Dead than Red.

2018-10-29 17:29:22 UTC

Right?

2018-10-29 17:29:25 UTC

And I understand why there is backlash against them

2018-10-29 17:29:30 UTC

Besides, if we allow people to be arrested for beliefs, you could say anyone is a nazi and if enough people back you up, the government could arrest you when you haven't even done anything. *That's* fascism

2018-10-29 17:29:40 UTC

lmao

2018-10-29 17:29:47 UTC

You are taking to the extreme cipher

2018-10-29 17:29:47 UTC

We're seeing authoritarianism on the far left *and* far right, it's too much of a risk

2018-10-29 17:29:49 UTC

nobody wants people arrested for beliefs

2018-10-29 17:29:52 UTC

@Vigil the government imprisoning people arbitrarily is not fascism

2018-10-29 17:30:03 UTC

It literally is

2018-10-29 17:30:03 UTC

don't change what words mean

2018-10-29 17:30:04 UTC

We have to define what Nazis are

2018-10-29 17:30:16 UTC

Yeah, that would be a good first step for your position.

2018-10-29 17:30:19 UTC

Let's go with that.

2018-10-29 17:30:22 UTC

Not because some vocal minority said so

2018-10-29 17:30:24 UTC

>public speech is an action and should be punishable
stay on your side of the atlantic

2018-10-29 17:30:30 UTC

calling random shit you don't like fascism is a bad idea

2018-10-29 17:30:43 UTC

imho

2018-10-29 17:30:48 UTC

Hate speech like calling for violence is your ideology

2018-10-29 17:31:08 UTC

Save me, papa USA, save me

2018-10-29 17:31:12 UTC

Before Ireland sinks

2018-10-29 17:33:35 UTC

Literally though, if we made a law saying "If you're a nazi you should be arrested", what happens is you'll have scenarios like a homeowner's association having an argument with their neighbour, and they all report the neighbour to the police as a nazi and conspire to have him thrown in jail over things that are hearsay

2018-10-29 17:33:39 UTC

Just to have him evicted

2018-10-29 17:33:46 UTC

@Vigil go to debate

2018-10-29 18:53:42 UTC

whoops

2018-10-29 21:27:18 UTC

That was their last revenue stream.

2018-10-29 21:28:09 UTC

Their only way to continue operating is new investment. So far their investment platform has not banned them (as far as I know).

2018-10-29 21:45:38 UTC

Shapiro is really pissed with Dems today on anti-semitism

2018-10-29 21:51:22 UTC

@Timcast since you didnโ€™t do the vid on gambling odds on the midterm, do you mind share your source or is that patreon only?

2018-10-29 22:47:06 UTC
2018-10-29 22:55:26 UTC

yeah the wave is pretty much not gonna happen, but that doesn't mean the democrats won't win by a handful of seats. that still gives them the speaker of the house, the power to assign committees, and subpoena power.

2018-10-29 22:58:39 UTC

Andrew Torba's family is apparently getting harassed by journalists. They're trying to get evidence that he's a nazi or something. <https://twitter.com/getongab/status/1057042238893477888>

2018-10-29 23:03:40 UTC

didn't you hear? anyone who is a straight, white male is a nazi these days

2018-10-29 23:05:07 UTC

Correct

2018-10-29 23:16:52 UTC

you know hitler was a heterosexual

2018-10-29 23:16:58 UTC

really makes you think

2018-10-29 23:35:53 UTC

Consider my almonds activated

2018-10-29 23:41:03 UTC

Punch all heterosexuals

2018-10-30 00:05:27 UTC

I still think those who actually *hate* straight, white men are a tiny minority. Most people who are gay and/or female and even those who are not white have straight, white sons, brothers, fathers, friends, etc.

2018-10-30 00:11:22 UTC

It's funny they are also white.

I think the video is mistaken re: 'third caravan'. But the General that was on the press conference today regarding the military deployment did mention a second caravan.

This is probably the second one.

@Timcast If you do something on this birthright citizenship thing, this seems to be the op-ed that spawned all the chatter. Might be worth a read. There's all sorts of immediate responses from across the board (mostly negative) which should be easy to find by looking for keywords like the author.

Most of the debate on the 14th amendment implications are going to be "on the right." Here's contrasting opinions from the Federalist Society on the legality of birthright citizenship (years before the op-ed had been authored, when this was merely an academic point for debate).

https://fedsoc.org/commentary/publications/birthright-citizenship-two-perspectives.

Alot of the legal debate seems to stem over the fact that children of ambassadors and the like *do not* get birthright citizenship. It should be noted the Federalist Society is very originalist and textualist, so there tends to be a good deal of argument about the issues of the day with the amendment was passed. Put another way, alot of the argument appears to be over the meaning of "subject to the jurisdiction thereof."

I'm not going to take a position on this issue (moral or legal), though I lean in the direction that the executive order probably won't survive on a practical level regardless of opinions of the matter.

I'm pretty apathetic on this one, myself.

Yep. So, by the same token, you couldn't insult religious figures in Catholic, Protestant, Buddhist or other groups.
