@MechaOrvo Communism is funnier than fascism because all the death and destruction is supposed to be for everyone's good.

Gulags, Killing Fields, Great Leaps Forward, and all. 🤣

Some commies really thought they were going to make a new kind of human and nope, just piles of dead people.

[Dan D 🌎🌍🌏 @DanielCDolmar]

@eilis_walsh @Joeby52 Not if you make it funny again. And the joke doesn't specify that the orthographer was Irish. Could have been an English missionary to the druids.

Besides, I know how many potatoes it takes to kill an Irishman.

NO white person alive today owned slaves. Teach your kids that.

NO black person alive today was born a slave. Teach your kids that.

Not all white people owned slaves back then. Teach your kids that.

Millions of white people fought and died to end slavery. Teach your kids that.

People should not inherit guilt from their ancestors. Teach your kids that.

People should not inherit victimhood from their ancestors. Teach your kids that.

You are responsible for your own actions, not the actions of people who lived 200 years ago. Teach your kids that.

America is not perfect, but it is not uniquely evil. Teach your kids that.

The West is responsible for some of humanity's greatest advances in freedom, science, medicine, and prosperity. Teach your kids that.

Loving your country is not racism. Teach your kids that.

Wanting secure borders is not racism. Teach your kids that.

Wanting safe communities is not racism. Teach your kids that.

Wanting merit over quotas is not racism. Teach your kids that.

Questioning political narratives is not racism. Teach your kids that.

People should be judged by their character, not their skin color. Teach your kids that.

History should be taught honestly, not used as a weapon. Teach your kids that.

A nation that teaches its children to hate their heritage will not survive. Teach your kids that.

Your country is your home. Protecting it is not something to be ashamed of. Teach your kids that.

You do not owe an apology for being born. Teach your kids that.

Never let fear of being called names stop you from speaking the truth as you see it. Teach your kids that.

Deeply impressed by the number of people who can't or won't understand the point @LeighWolf is making.

It's not just the Left that gets confused about simple stuff that they don't want to acknowledge:

We sacrificed 360,000 souls to end slavery and another 250,000 souls to defeat fascism.

Any moral debts were paid in blood many decades ago.

[Billy Binion @billybinion]

Six years ago. This is when the public health apparatus lost its credibility. We were told it was too dangerous for kids to go to school, but not too dangerous for thousands of people to gather for the “right” cause. Feels like a fever dream.

This article has me nodding in full agreement. But there is a deeper problem with Indian and Pakistani immigration this only begins to touch on.

Strap in and let me explain in this long 🧵

When I worked on an oil rig in India, my most trusted bosun was a Sikh named Balbir Singh.

I can’t fully explain how critical he was to the operation. An operation that won us a world record and launched the Ambani family into the stratosphere of wealth.

It was an incredibly difficult assignment. We brought a vintage drillship into southeast India and drilled through monsoons, shipboard fires, and the 2004 Asian tsunami.

When we arrived, most of the crew were good ol’ boys from Mississippi and Louisiana. But the Indian government had set an aggressive schedule to replace us with Indians.

We had more problems than I can recount here. The most pressing involved three things: the caste system, honesty, and safety.

I was chief mate, the first officer, so the crew was my responsibility.

The caste system wasn’t a big deal for me, but it was for my southern crew. Most of these guys grew up in the segregated South. We had a small handful of racists, but the vast majority were fiercely anti-racist. Many had come up in a divided South and had zero tolerance for segregation.

My Indian officers were from the higher priest and warrior castes.

Here is what you have to understand about India: labor is extremely cheap. It is not unusual to hire five men to dig a hole with one shovel, supervised by a sixth man of higher class.
That might work on land. It does not work on an oil rig with a limited number of cots.

In American culture, officers are expected to get their hands dirty and pitch in.

So we would assign an officer to a job on deck, and 15 minutes later he had a gaggle of crew working for him. Crew who had abandoned jobs of their own to do it.

Safety was another problem. Life is cheap, so the crew often prioritized the task over their own survival. You would send a man on deck and he would walk out barefoot, straight under a suspended load.

Last was honesty. The answer to almost everything was yes.
“Did you check to make sure the safety pin is in place?”
“Yes sir.”

It often wasn’t.

We had crew from every Hindu caste and every region of the subcontinent. We also had a token number from other faiths: Christian, Sikh, Muslim, and Jain.

Balbir came in at the lowest level, ordinary seaman, with no experience. He quickly became my right-hand man and the go-to guy for any critical operation on the rig.

Let me say that again. He had zero knowledge or experience when he started. /1

Progressives are inviting us on to another euphemism treadmill.

If we go along, it will take them less than two years to decide that 'unhoused' is also morally reprehensible and to find a new shibboleth-word for 'homeless' to signify their moral superiority.

The point is that they get to control language, and the rest of us are supposed to be at their feet waiting for the new fashionable 'correct' lingo to drop. It beats working.

[Konstantin Kisin @KonstantinKisin]

I will take absolutely no lectures about "divisiveness" from the people who gave us two-tier policing, racial hiring quotas and endless race-baiting.

Unlike you, we do not kneel.

Longtime friends and colleagues Shelby Steele and Thomas Sowell have warned the West for decades that its most poisonous enemies are white guilt and the racially engineered diversity racket. They argued that it would breed tribal hatred and undermine the West's greatest creation: the individual. Henry Nowak was not treated as an individual but as a representative of a race deemed guilty due to its white skin.

“White guilt morally and culturally disarms the West. It makes the First World apologetic. And this, of course, only inflames the narcissism of the ineffectual.” -- Shelby Steele

“We are among the biggest fools in history if we keep on paying people to make us hate each other. Whether it is called by pretty names like 'multiculturalism,' 'diversity' or gender awareness,' that is what it all boils down to.” -- Thomas Sowell

"60 Minutes" is the most prestigious TV news program in America. But a new review of the last 20 years of its reporting reveals serious inaccuracies and partisan bias on immigration, transgenderism, climate change, Covid, Russiagate, the Hunter Biden laptop, and more.

@goodvibesfrog @wil_da_beast630 No, 'ontological' means 'I am very smart'.

[Dan D 🌎🌍🌏 @DanielCDolmar]

@AndyWil42457601 @politicalmath @grok @politicalmath said 'They killed him because someone accused him of racism' where 'they' is clearly the police.

But this is wrong. The police did not kill Henry. They treated him badly in his dying moments. It's an important distinction.
