If you mean aircraft carriers, etc, you're right they wouldn't be used because that's not how you subdue citizens under a police state

if you mean police state, are you familiar with human history at all?

do you think we have somehow evolved past that type of behavior?

any gun law is by definition an infringement on my right to own and carry a gun

do you think gun laws work?

do criminals follow gun laws?

are "gun free zones" safe?

Anyway, enjoy handing over your only means of defending yourself, your family, and your country from tyrannical assholes

Here is the EU playbook on spinning narratives

https://twitter.com/RANEurope/status/1229343883408105472?s=19

@qwasi how do you feel about lgbt

Actually anyone can answer

In what way

Do I hate any and all LGBT people for... reasons? No. Do I dislike the current hedonistic, selfish, and harmful culture of the LGBT community at large? Yes. I strongly dislike people who play the victim card because of their sexual orientation because some idiot college professor told them they're being oppressed. Nobody is oppressing the gays.

And I dislike people who substitute their sexual orientation for a personality

I dislike how the LGBT community bullies any company that doesn't grovel at their feet and virtue signal to the world how great it is to be gay

I dislike the current trend of confusing kids and pushing them to question their gender and sexual identity before they even know what those things are

I dislike the trend of the sexualization of children, like you see with the drag queen kids

I agree with the last point actually

Yep

But my gay coworker who doesn't talk about being gay all the time? I ain't got no problems with them.

I can't stand gays who think that just because you don't like them as a person, it must be because they're gay

No, I probably just don't like your personality

Like with anyone else I meet

I strongly dislike woke culture as a whole, and the ridiculous trend that "speech I don't like == hate speech"

And the idea that hate speech doesn't count as free speech for whatever reason

Freedom of speech is absolute in the US, and that's something that should be protected at all costs. The left tends to forget that free speech allowed things like women's sufferage and the civil rights movement.

based

All you get by restricting "hate speech" is pushing people underground to fester instead of letting their ideas be known and challenged

That's how people make up their own minds about something. If you're so scared of what someone might say that you want to ban it, you're removing my right to make up my own mind about how I feel about something

I may very well decide its trash and join your criticism of the idea

But that can't happen if you ban it

And somehow, the LGBT community got tied up in that mess

I voted for gay marriage to be legalized in my state before it was legalized federally

But man, they've gone off the fuckin deep end lately

damn

also this is made worse by the way modern media likes to push the most sensationalist and dramatic opinions and people to the forefront

I can actually agree with most of what you’re saying

What about adoption rights for lgbt

Well

are they hurting other people?

if no

then why not?

Wouldn’t it be better for kids to have any kind of home than not?

In theory, I see no problem with a stable gay couple adopting a child. The problem with that is that when you look at statistics, lesbians especially seem to have some serious problems with domestic violence and other issues. There's also the importance of having a male and female presence in the family home. Not to say that gay couples are automatically inferior parents, but the traditional family unit is statistically more likely to produce quality people. And that's really the whole goal of child-rearing, to raise an excellent person and prepare them for the world. I think for that reason, religious adoption agencies absolutely should have the right to deny gay couples in favor of traditional families. But I don't think gays should be denied across the board.

But the statistics are worrisome in that regard

My worry there is that much like the current trend of affirmative action in pretty much all media, the blackwashing of traditionally white characters, etc... you could very well get a situation where an adoption agency specifically looks for gay couples to acquiesce the LGBT community, lest they be labeled bigots

So otherwise serious red flags go unnoticed or ignored

And that kid goes to a gay couple that has serious issues

Again, not saying that's always the case, or even that it's likely

But it's certainly a concern when the LGBT/woke community continues it's current trend of brigading any business that doesn't have a certain percentage of minorities, females, or gays

You see that fairly often in the work force these days

Companies hiring minorities to fill a quota specifically because of the color of someone's skin

So you have cases where a qualified white male will get passed over in favor of an underqualified woman of color

Personally, I'm a big fan of meritocracies

If the surgeon doing surgery on me to remove a cancerous tumor, I want the person who was best qualified for the job

I don't give a flying fuck what color or gender they are, or who they fuck when they go home

I want to not die on the operating table

But now, the white male doctor who's top of his class has a very real chance of not getting hired at my local hospital in favor of that hospital trying to meet a diversity quota

The whole point of not judging a person by the color of their skin is exactly that

And I still stand by that. I judge people by the content of their character

The left stopped doing that, which is why I'm not a lefty anymore

Oh, and the sheer hypocrisy of the left claiming to love everyone and all that bullshit. They kind of undercut their entire message when they say every possible hateful thing about white males, or whites in general. I see far more hate from the left than I do from the right.

And if you don't believe me, try disagreeing with a lefty and see how fast they turn on you.

It was kind of amusing watching the redpilling of Laci Green, who was one of the most famous lefty feminists around. Then she realized some of the same things I just touched on, and her fanbase turned on her so fast she had to pretty much hide for a while.

I hear more people complaining about people complaining about white people than I actually hear the left complaining about white males. Can't we just preach our own message instead of just using this platform to gripe against the left all the time?

They're living rent free in a lot of heads around here.

Maybe we just hang out in different circles

But I see it all the time

Must be.

And I believe I was preaching my own message, what else do you want?

Did you have something else in mind?

There's also that you can see some other ultra-woke, anti-white, self-flagellating policy set forth by some business or educational institution or other damn near every day. It's hard NOT to think about it or wonder where it ends.

It's regressive behavior at its worst. Not only is it anti white, it's in its own blind way racist against the very people the stupid shit is intended to benefit, carrying the not so subtle connotation that we apparently AREN'T equal, to go by their reasoning.

So I'm fine letting some of it sit around rent free.

I have a very large brain, plenty of space.

Yeah and there are extreme views on both sides. Both bad. Doesn't make our bad people any better than their bad people.

How many universities have non-white safe spaces now? That's straight up racial segregation. And it sends the message that minorities are somehow unsafe around whites.

That's disgusting racism. And it's commonplace now.

Talk about actual policy, and things that can still improve within our own party, which is plenty. Then we can start judging them.

Such as?

I'm curious what problems you think "our" party has, considering I don't affiliate with any particular party.

If you mean the republican party, then by all means

Lay out what you think is wrong

What policy do you disagree with?

And we'll talk about it

@mrbigman >there's bad views on both sides

While true, the false equivocation gets us nowhere

Nor does pretending that opposing viewpoints always have equal validity or worth

That's half of what got us into the shitty state of things we're in

Pretending or even entertaining the idea that all cultures have something worthwhile to offer

That all viewpoints have some kind of fact to them

It's the same participatory achievement mindset that tells us absolutely everyone is special and amazing and destined for something great

We're not.

False equivocation and the concept that everything possesses some great worth in the balance of things is one of the most erroneous and odious set of bullshit first principles we can adopt when looking at something.

It implies that there can't be value judgements made, and that such a degree of moral relativism exists that anything can be justified.

Or that we're supposed to view some minor thing as equally abhorrent as a much worse one.

Fuck outta here with that shit. It's a mindset tailor-made for people who are either unable or unwilling to form judgements about the world around them.

Or are you just concern trolling?

Because that's what it currently looks like.

No, I'm working. That's a silly comment.

<:varg:594158610918014976> 👌

You'd think a lefty troll would be able to come up with one republican policy they don't like

@mrbigman are you lying on purpose or?

What happened ...

Just run of the mill concern troll

I've seen many ex-Yang Gangers say that Andrew Yang understands that the left creates fake news. Well, turns out they were wrong. Yang now works for CNN as a political commentator.

so quiet

too quioet

shh this is library

How many Dem transplants (non-Yang) have come here within the last 3-4 months or so?

because after yesterday I wonder if more people like me ended up here

Tbh even if they get here. They can't get past vetting wall. So don't really matter

I think you misunderstand what I mean by Dem transplants

I mean people that go from supporting a dem candidate to supporting Trump

not just showing up to the server

@Joe Mama I’ll take it as a positive- he stated he would be a part-time political commentator and it is best that he asks some more fitted obscure questions than the typical biased commentator does

@ocobhthaigh - Nice reaction to your post 😉

>needing help from strangers for a gofundme in order to pay for kids you want to adopt, rather than being fiscally responsible and recognizing that costs are significant, ongoing, and that introducing such a variable expense into your existing financial capability could stand to be terrible for both you and the foster kid

>absolute height of responsibility and adult, forward thinking to such a momentous decision

Strong work, sports fan

Don't buy cars you can't afford applies to kids, too, genius.

"The first $5k raised will go towards furnishing the two bedrooms I have allocated for my future children.
The rest will go to new clothes for the children, along with any other necessities they might need. Anything else will be put in a savings account for their education."

... nigga hwhat

How the fuck are you in any position to foster kids if you can't even afford basic necessities for them

Doesn't the state pay you to take care of them?

Also, the 3/4 profile instagram pic isn't a good look for foster parenting. Being a parent is hard, being a foster parent even more so. I've known a few folks who've fostered kids, and go figure, most foster kids have a ton of issues, including serious behavioral issues.

That picture, I'm sorry, makes you look like an instagram thot, not somebody who's capable of handling an inner city kid whose parents are strung out junkies that abused them.

It takes an incredible amount of maturity and stability to help those kids

Begging for money before you even start doesn't scream "stability" and the thotty picture doesn't scream "maturity"

Go volunteer at a low-barrier shelter in your area if you wanna help people

Don't fuck up these kids' lives even worse because of a false sense of altruism

Good grief

Socialism? NOT EVEN ONCE, guys, AVOID IT LIKE THE PLAGUE!!! It never ends, it only gets worse and worse!

They'll tax the fuck out of you, then notice they need even more money so they'll tax you more and more and more and more until it all collapses and they suffer none of it!

Taxes arent socialism tho

Socialism will always tax you A LOT more, there're a lot of no-good lazy fucks to feed!

How long until the domreddit is gone?

the chances of it being deleted will increase as November gets closer

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/670723566056243242/681623972089298947/1582525076023.jpg

i think outright deletion is the last resort; they're trying to choke it out

part of why t_d is successful is the good stuff gets voted to the top, so people visiting will always see the interesting news/funny memes and the low quality stuff will sink to the bottom

if you remove upvote power, the subreddit's front page will lower in quality and less people will check regularly

in addition to giving the impression of less engagement from the community

maybe they'll remove the ability to upvote comments next

The whole voting thing will be the death of the site. I think it's a bs ploy to scare users off of T_D. An impactful enough amount of hits generates site revenue to just ban it that's why they haven't. MGTOW will sooner be removed than T_D, but that user base is growing to levels where they can't afford to lose hits from them either...

Hey so I think I just lost the last of my old friends. Some of these people I've known for years. They all took a political test and ended up just two lines from the very far left. They're basically throwing me out. Are there any sane gaming discords out there?

The level of disappointment I'm feeling is immeasurable. The more facts I share over the years, the further along Trump's presidency gets, the more absolutely insane they've become.

Politics is a fickle mistress especially in the gaming community. What you may have felt was real isn't to them. It never was because they are shells of an existence. Super Gamekraft is an up and coming community that is more apolitical. I know the owner personally. He's a good dude who likes to shitpost stuff on his personal page, but he runs a good community. I can send you an invite if you want. Again, a political thought

We were real friends that would hang out, go camping, meet up at each others' houses, etc. One of them (not pictured) I've been friends with since middle school. It was more than a gaming group

fucking hurts dude. send me an invite if you can and I'll add it but I may need to decompress tonight before talking to more people

We're very small

Reasons like this is why spiritual family is important IMO

Ouch, I ended up leaving a leftie server two days ago because I didn't like the clique-ish attitude and they would all try to shame/bully me into silence since I was the only one to disagree, sorry you had to deal with it too. =<

A "friend group" with a foundation of a strong shared belief

@♥ ᴅɪᴇ ᴍᴀᴅ ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ ɪᴛ ♥ yup I feel that, I was labelled the Nazi and everything I said was always brushed off

just freaking oof

Yeah, it sucks, because them running you off is exactly what they want, but it feels stupid to stay somewhere you're gonna be verbally abused constantly.

Like I said... the love was one sided

I know it hurts... I've had to go through the same shit... but they are making their choice to draw lines in the sand. They are choosing to suffer. Don't suffer with them.

mhm

And mocking you over your "two year degree" compare to their big brain "Masters" is super rude/elitist, these people are total assholes.

Unescapable student debt is so big brain

yeah btw that was coming from an unemployed guy that just takes pictures for his instagram

I have more education than him, I'm a sysadmin managing an office by myself roflmao

Nasty and pathetic attitude

Sounds about righjt

Sounds like someone who was empty to begin with...

Or may have had some substance at one point, but has been drained by the system.
