@_theDESTROYER@jessesingal It's not what they believe. It's how they attempt to coerce people into believing the same thing, and how they demonize any questions or disagreement. Wacky beliefs don't equal a cult. Programmed beliefs and not allowing disagreement do equal a cult.
@daveyokatz@CollinRugg It's not possible to have unity with people who hold the rest of us in total contempt, and *laugh* as the names of the dead are being read out.
@MissJewels2026@HansMahncke Oh, please. Are you trying to convince yourself? Her reaction is clear as day, and it's not pride - though it should have been.
@A_Nation_Risen@haymes_joshua The "draft" is a stand-in for the fact that men (even if there is no draft or conscription) are expected to defend society with their lives if needed. It's their presumed social duty. And women are expected to... do what exactly? What is their presumed social duty?
@SilentService87@realBrandonGill@GOP It's a false estimate that postulates idiotic utopian notions of how a mesolithic hunter-gatherer society was some sort of paradise. As for South & Central America, their neolithic populations were much bigger than North America, but were highly localized and still not that big.
@NickJFreitas Democrats consist of two groups: 1st are brainwashed useful idiots; 2nd are their leaders, who want total power. They want to be our masters; they want the rest of us to be serfs or slaves (though they don't use those words.) They'll do *anything* to attain those goals.
@Synk556@wretchardthecat While I agree that Japan's Navy outperformed & continues to outperform most European navies, they did not fight the US "to a standstill." They launched a competent but treacherous surprise attack and then got beaten decisively. They were a tough opponent, but they flat out lost.
@ItsTheAtmospher@Handre As anyone who is not an idiot knows, Starship is an experimental program, in testing. The is deliberately destructive to figure out where the problems are. SLS is a non-experimental system that costs more per launch than the entire Starship program.
@reddit_lies Socialism is indistinguishable from slavery. The party elites are the masters. Everyone else is the slaves. The difference with socialism is that it lies to the would-be slaves about how nice their slavery will be. And fools like the writer in question believe those lies.
@BritisherPaz49@AxelTalksFilm They've got wealth and now they want power. Their dream is to be masters and for everyone else to be slaves, and they tell themselves they'll be *such* good masters that the slaves will be happy. And they're willing to see other people die to get this dream to happen.
@xnoesbueno The British government knows full well they are causing harm to the British people. They hope that the invaders they import will give them power. They're wrong, but they're going to try, & the harm they inflict on their people is a price they're willing for others to pay.
@PolitlcsGlobal AfD is not "far right." It's a moderate-right party, when all other parties have gone far-left.
& the Nazis were not "right-wing" at all. They were socialists who hated Marxists the way two criminal gangs fighting for the same turf hate each other. No difference in ideology.
@TerryinSoCalif@THR He's in the way of their desire for total power, so he's dangerous to their ambitions, and they hate him. And if they can convince one of their deluded tools to get rid of him, they will cheer.
@k1nghenryIV@RoyKAltman Describe it as fiction, because that is what it is. There was no indiscriminate bombing of anything, and no deliberate killing of non-combatants... except by Hamas, which did its effective best to maximize the non-combatant death toll.
@Seanmcauliffe10@NolteNC Depends on where you lived. Murders were, just as now, very localized to specific violent, lawless urban areas. If you were in one of those areas, then yes, you were statistically in more danger. Outside of those areas, the danger was (and still is) very low.
@AyrBrush@SandyofCthulhu Sorry, but those are what socialism IS. Maybe you *think* it's something else, but socialism is when one group controls ALL of the economy, & the law, & the military. And if you're not part of the ruling caste, you're a slave. ("Communism" is a myth to keep the slaves docile.)
@taylorlandry@TheHayride The existing legal regime protects the profits of well connected law firms at the cost of everyone else. Is that why you like it?
