Remember, none of this would be happening if this miracle did not occur. Trump is the most important president of our lifetime and his election saved the country from abject failure and decline. God bless the troops and the fact he survived this.
Dude. "A straw man argument is a logical fallacy where someone distorts, exaggerates, or misrepresents an opponent's actual position. By creating a weaker, more extreme caricature of the argument, they can easily knock it down while entirely avoiding the original point". You suggested a scenario where only you exist, (which is weaker, and more extreme) to attempt to discredit the idea of crypto as property. It's not a thought experiment. It's a straw man.
Remember when Dems burned down the PA governors mansion because Shapiro is Jewish? That's was when I knew the democratic party of Obama had fully taken out the Clinton/Gore wing. Obama and AOC are the same thing, it's just she has boobs and admits she wants to spend your money.
Did you actually read what she posted? It's not reflexively dismissing anything. It thoughtfully outlines the disconnect between academics living in a socially constructed, but false, reality of their own creation while denying facts most people and nature understand inherently, beautifully. Read it again.
Hitler was aligned with Muslims, respected Islam for its "martial traditions" and we should not be surprised Muslims are now taking over the Democrat party today as it devolves into grievance politics driven by economic seizure of wealth. National socialism is very close to sharia law in practice and Democrats have been brainwashed into voting for these perceived minorities without understanding what they will enact if given real power.
I'm not sure what planet you are on but straw man is literally setting up a false scenario to disprove a point, which is exactly what you did. Anna is actually arguing that ownership, thus property, is inherently in the natural order. It's exerted by violence and has been for all time, especially in the animal world. Your response attempted to claim crypto (or stocks) don't have value when every other human doesn't exist. It's a bullshit argument, you know that though.
@TheJewishIdea They will just accelerate the decline of NYC and the state. This is good overall. The mask is off. Let the world see them for what they all are. Communists.
@TobyLightheart@AnnaLeptikon It's useless, hence why I said it's a straw man argument. It does not challenge nor address the question she posed to you, at all, because the scenario your posit itself makes everything valueless to anyone but you.
Flock Safety Cameras are no longer being used just as license plate readers or traffic safety
This flock camera is a playground, there is no traffic to monitor. I found local governments are now just placing Flock cameras in areas where they believe crime risks might be higher
Which means they are no just straight up being used for mass surveillance of Americans without a warrant
This is the surveillance and police state being established
Again, these are no longer just traffic cameras they’re being used for surveillance
Ban them nationwide
Go invest in China and see how you like that. Or maybe Europe where growth has been dead since 2000. The US enjoys our position not for the fleet, but the fact our economy is sound and our courts are real. Europe is a mess of stupid and China will shoot you if they so please. Make your choice.
@FantasticMrSol@Bitcoin_Teddy That's the point moron, bretton woods is over and has been since the berlin wall fell. Time for you to pay for your protection and securing your own supply lines. Best of luck.
People often ask why I bother pushing back against the anti-Israel propaganda...
I have no ties to Israel in any way. I don't even think I know any Jewish people outside of the online platforms I am active on. I would like to visit some day because of the historical significance of the Levant and because I enjoy visiting foreign places with rich history that genuinely like and get along with Americans.
I am not interested in Israeli politics. I am not concerned with the ongoings of their country beyond how they are a strategic ally to my country.
I'm a Christian from Texas, after all.
My kids will grow up in the United States, not Israel.
So, again, people may wonder why I would subject myself to the hate and push back from so many that would vilify Israel, and my answer is simple.
I do so because I care about the truth.
I also do so because I was trained to see beyond the narratives, beyond the face of propaganda and psyops, and all of the way to the truth of how messaging can be manipulated, amplified, and repeated until it becomes accepted as truth.
I watched the information environment change after October 7, 2023.
I watched the shift happen in real time as our enemies used a horrific attack that they knew would generate a massive, destruction filled response to try and convince people that the initial terrorist aggressors were right and that Israel, acting in defense of their nation... in defense of those thousand plus innocent people that were murdered in their homes, in the streets, and at a concert... was wrong.
Imagine if that had happened to Americans. How would we have reacted?
How much destruction would we have wrought in retribution to such an act?
I think we all know the answer...
So, I watched as people picked up propaganda that has been debunked for over a hundred years and share it as if it confirmed their every belief.
I watched as our enemies realized that the key to finally defeating the American right was simply to convince them of the oldest and dumbest propaganda the world has ever seen.
It was propaganda made for illiterate peasants, but it worked like a charm because most Americans know absolutely nothing about history and even less about geopolitics or the realities of our strategic alliances.
All it took was getting a few big names to push it.
All they needed was to grind it into the old grievances that already existed on the right due to mistrust in our institutions and the war fatigue GWOT created for so, so many.
From a propaganda standpoint... the effort was absolutely impressive. If I wanted to destabalize a first world nation, my information operations would have looked similar.
And that is what should trouble you all.
Our enemies know exactly what they are doing. Democrats know exactly what they are doing as well.
Democrats are not only involved, but fully behind such propaganda because it distracts us from what we should really be talking about: how progressive leftists are trying to fundamentally change our great country.
And the truly worrisome part is not just that it is dividing our side and distracting us from the real domestic enemy, but that it is convincing Americans, especially young Americans, that all of their problems are the result of a small faction of people ruling the world...
It has already likely damaged multiple generations of Americans to an extent that I am not sure if we can recover from it, and now the VP is mimicking some of the same talking points as we head into midterms that may be the most important midterms in generations...
We must push back, lest we lose everything that makes us great.
@BillAckman This thing is on pause until Nov 5th, there will be theatre talks, drama and back and forth extensions until then. This guy is then likely joining Soleimani via a similar manner. https://t.co/8XbM0Wjrhc
