@CulturalBystand@cremieuxrecueil Where "being a genuine racist" = pointing out the myriad weaknesses and flaws in critical race theory and noting, correctly, that minority students are more often hindered by affirmative action and race quotas than they are helped. There, I fixed it.
@JacobMappilache@dcopechatter At least the African and Asian communist leaders of the 1950s - 1970s had the concept of novelty on their side. But 50-75 years later we have their track record of failure, suffering, and slaughter alongside Stalin and Mao. Only the gullible or the truly stupid want this.
@JacobMappilache@dcopechatter Easy answer - They're young and stupid with no life experience and no understanding of how centrally planned totalitarian government systems work. They have been indoctrinated through lies and the deliberate omission of the 20th century horrors of Mao, Stalin, Pot, and others.
@Anc_Aesthetics This crowd would be hit hard by simply asking, "how many more would have been saved with 19 times the funding?" Only about $ .05/$1.00 went to the poor; the rest was a slush fund for politicos who were clearly OK with letting poor people die in exchange for a 6-figure income.
@KanGizmo2@nixonfoundation Compared to the things done by the DC establishment to destroy Trump + GOP, starting with Obama using the IRS to crush GOP grassroots in 2012 and continuing with Obama greenlighting Crossfire Hurricane, plus completely dummied up "crimes" for Shampeachments 1&2, yes - I agree.
@C_3C_3 This is a 2-tier scam. In states like CA that give state aid directly to illegals, wages are paid in cash; with no payroll records they can claim 'no income.' Elsewhere, non-profits distribute food and housing aid, but those funds come straight from Uncle Sam. You pay either way.
@Trending_Sid@theskindoctor13 The fact that you defer to Jon Stewart's comedy writing team for political perspectives tells us all we need to know about your expertise.
@MatrixMysteries I see that this testimony was from before Trump was sworn in and before DOGE began exposing this scam. Hopefully a lot of this spending is gone now.
@SiennaSSinclair@Ayaan The real pity is that your tribe has gone overboard to portray Anglo males as universally toxic, dangerous, and potentially rapists, while deliberately ignoring the demographic that perpetrates > 9/10 rapes in the UK. You don't get to change the subject now.
@ZitoSalena I know some of these 'anthems' come from social media ('Sound of Silence' is a good example) but others I think are just good sing-along songs. I teach HS and as culturally illiterate as my students are, they all know American Pie, Africa, Country Roads, etc. And that's good.
@AmygatorRedux@MaxNordau Sure. And 1939 Germany was "operating just fine" until the Brits decided to be aggressors and declare war. And Saddam's Baghdad was a peaceful city filled with coffee shops and children carrying balloons through the streets, until warmonger Bush decided to destroy the country.
@martianwyrdlord We've know that Islam trumps women's rights, children's rights, and gay rights ever since Rotherham. When Islam eventually squares off with Black Lives Matter, who do you think will win?
@jeffreytucker Not only this ... 1)they knew Covid was bio-engineered but pushed false 'wet market' story anyway; 2)they knew masks were useless but pushed mandatory masking anyway; 3)they knew lockdown wouldn't work but enforced it anyway; 4)'6 feet' social distance was pulled out of thin air.
