@EveKeneinan @DarienOfMcLean This is so important to remember. I recognized years ago that the Left doesn't argue from principles. It appeals to principles as a convenience and does not live by them. "Pro choice" for instance is a slogan. How many of those people do you know who pursue choice universally?

@HistorianUSA1 What I've never understood is that congress has used (abused?) the Interstate Commerce clause to justify all kinds of Federal government interference and yet they never have lifted a finger to restrain states from restricting health insurance selling across state lines.

@DavidAFrench @Steve_Sailer Pathetic straw man slaying here. Tie together two ideas that have no inherent connection just so you can stand on top of the whole thing to unfurl your banner of moral superiority. You've slid very far down the other side of the slope.

Wealth tax explained:

1. Laura loves to cook, she risks all her life savings and opens a small restaurant: Laura‘s Kitchen

2. Laura works really hard, evenings, weekends, no vacations

3. The local community loves Laura‘s Kitchen, it’s a success, the restaurant gets larger, Laura hires 30 people from the neighborhood

4. Laura makes 1,5 Million € in profit, she pays 40% in income tax: 600,000€

5. The left „tax the rich“ party wins the elections, and introduces a wealth tax

6. Laura‘s Kitchen gets valued by the tax authorities at 25 Million €. Laura must pay 5% wealth tax: 1,25 Million €

7. The income tax of 600,000€ plus 1,25 Million € in wealth tax is more than the 1,5 Million € Laura makes

8. Laura cannot afford to pay more taxes than she makes, she closes Laura’s Kitchen

9. Laura loses her life savings despite years of hard work, 30 people lose their jobs, the state receives zero taxes

10. The local community goes to McDonalds again

11. The local left “tax the rich“ party members blame „capitalism“ for that on social media

12. Everyone gets poorer due to higher unemployment and lower tax revenues

Why is this so difficult for the left to understand?

⚓🇬🇧🇳🇱

For 300 years, corsairs came to enslave Europeans.

Not from a colony. From Europe's own coasts.🏴‍☠️

Spain, Italy, France, even Ireland and Iceland felt their reach.

One historian's estimate puts the number enslaved above a million across the centuries.

That figure is disputed. In both directions. What is not disputed: every government paid ransom, and paid again, and the raids never stopped.

🕊️ In 1816 Britain tried one more time, through words alone. The Dey of Algiers agreed to stop. For a while, it held.

⚡ Then in May 1816, around 200 fishermen under British protection were massacred at Bona. Britain had run out of patience.

Admiral Lord Exmouth was given a fleet. And Britain did not sail alone: a Dutch squadron joined him, under Vice-Admiral van Capellen. British and Dutch, sailing as one force.

💥 August 1816. The combined fleet stood off the walls of Algiers. Exmouth sent his terms in. The Dey refused. At half past two, the guns opened fire.

For nine hours, British and Dutch guns hammered the harbour defences. The corsair fleet in harbour was destroyed at anchor. Allied casualties, British and Dutch together, passed 900 killed and wounded. It was a hard fight, not an easy one.

By morning the defences lay silent. Exmouth demanded surrender. The Dey accepted.

🔓 1,083 slaves were freed at Algiers itself. Men and women of many nations and many faiths. The Dey repaid around 80,000 pounds sterling in ransom money.

Counting earlier releases that year, around 3,000 people walked free across all of 1816. Not walking free in a single day. Freed across the whole of that year.

The treaty broke the back of a 300-year system. It did not end the raids overnight. Raiding returned in the years after, on a smaller scale. It was the French conquest of Algiers, from 1830, that finally ended it for good.

Britain and the Netherlands had broken a system three centuries old. Not for empire. For people who had no one else to answer for them.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

British and Dutch sailors stood against a system nobody else had stopped.

Knowing their story, you stand a little taller.

@Libertyordaeth @RapidResponse47 Beautiful! What was the response of the tour guide?

[Paul E. Feemus @Polyphe19152151]

@TheWanderingAzn @TransRoofKorean @Polymarket @ShawnEni Most of the wording is exactly the same. You pasted it and edited a few sentences.
Just give credit instead of dodging.

@incessantbark @roddreher @PaiviRasanen "Hate speech" IS free speech.

[Paul E. Feemus @Polyphe19152151]

@TransRoofKorean @TheWanderingAzn @Polymarket I saw that too.
Shame on you, @TheWanderingAzn
You should add an acknowledgement to @ShawnEni.

OK. So Helen’s beauty sparks a war.

Athena is a strategic goddess guiding Odysseus.

Penelope embodies clever loyalty.

Circe turns men into pigs, which frankly is still the most realistic female character arc in literature.

Calypso traps the hero on an island for seven years.

Cassandra can literally see the future but nobody listens, making her the first woman in recorded history to experience a meeting.

The Sirens weaponize music.

Nausicaa saves Odysseus when he washes up naked and useless.

Andromache gives one of the most devastating anti-war speeches in the Iliad.

Hecuba is basically the emotional wreckage of empire in human form.

Aphrodite starts half the problems in Western civilization by being hot and petty.

Hera is running divine opposition research.

Thetis gets Zeus involved because Achilles is having a workplace dispute.

But apart from Helen, Athena, Penelope, Circe, Calypso, Cassandra, the Sirens, Nausicaa, Andromache, Hecuba, Aphrodite, Hera, and Thetis...

WHAT HAS HOMER EVER DONE TO GIVE FEMALE CHARACTERS ATTENTION?

@_BrettRyanMusic @theistinthought Funny but you just articulated partial preterism which is what I've been saying. I'm not a full preterist. Do you get that?
You seem to elevate all of your eschatological interpretations to dogma on the level of the gospel itself.
That is dangerous territory. Be careful.

[Paul E. Feemus @Polyphe19152151]

@_BrettRyanMusic @theistinthought Which of my statements is repugnant to the word? That I said that much (but probably not all) of Jesus' Olivet discourse referred to the coming destruction of the temple and slaughter in Jerusalem in 70 AD?
Is your position that all of it was about the distant future?

[Paul E. Feemus @Polyphe19152151]

@KeithMathe78110 @creation247 You probably don't get that you aren't putting even a dent in the homeschool argument because homeschoolers are orders of magnitude ahead of public school students in test scores. They are probably as close to 100% in literacy as you can statistically be.
Did I miss your point?

[Paul E. Feemus @Polyphe19152151]

@_BrettRyanMusic @theistinthought So your answer is no. You can't engage in that way. Clearly I stated that I am a believer in the risen Christ. I wanted to understand your perspective on this and find where we might agree by clarifying some concrete concepts.
But I guess you don't want that.
Good day, brother.

[Paul E. Feemus @Polyphe19152151]

@_BrettRyanMusic @theistinthought I answered your question to the best of my ability. Now could you please clarify your position on the question that I asked? Full Futurism? I can accept if you say your answer is more complex than these simple categories, but I'd like to know your position.

[Paul E. Feemus @Polyphe19152151]

@_BrettRyanMusic @theistinthought I hope and believe that my name is written in the Lamb's book of life. That is based entirely on the work that Christ did through his death and resurrection. I am much less certain (and so should you be) of my proper interpretation of eschatalogical prophesies of the end times.
