@harryjsisson It isn’t democrats… it’s republicans. That’s what that source says. It’s part of a nationwide trend.

@Heccles94 Technically, you can be a quadrillionaire if you exchange US 1$ to Zimbabwe dollars.

lets look at how wealth works.

you buy a pack of cards. you get a card worth $250,000. your wealth is $250,000. a tornado comes and destroys most of those cards that are worth $250,000. your wealth is now $750,000 because of that.
you dont have $750,000. you can sell it for $750,000.

you try to sell the card, but no one has the money to buy it at that price, so you have to haggle it down... you could only sell it for $1000.

the government wants to tax the wealth you had ($750,000) at $50,000. You only now have $1000 with a $49,000 bill.

there is a lot of context you are missing.

there are still way too many illegal immigrants.

the argument is Illegal Immigrants, not immigrants.

Rent wont go down instantly, we still have a supply and demand problem

Groceries are a gas problem, and takes months for them to be realized in prices.

Trump got an economy stuck in a tailspin and is currently trying to fix it.

@BadWritingTakes J K Rowling's definition is the correct, scientific definition of a woman. It does not say that all women produce eggs, it says that the female body is ORGANISED to produce eggs, regardless of whether it actually does.

Negative net migration isn’t a failure — it’s the intended outcome. In-migration has fallen sharply while deportations and self-deportations have risen, flipping the net figure negative for the first time in decades. This is exactly what millions of voters supported: reduced illegal inflows and stronger enforcement. Policy is working as designed.

turns out it was made up...

CNN did investigate somnophilia on porn sites and chat groups. They called parts of it an "online rape academy" (a phrase from a French lawmaker)

The ~62 million figure is total visits to https://t.co/t2ODDdCDzn (a large, general porn site hosting all kinds of content across 100+ categories — not a dedicated rape tutorial site). This was for one month (February). It includes every type of porn on the site, repeat visitors,

The specific bad Telegram group ("Zzz") that CNN highlighted had ~1,000 users — not millions.

The post (and similar viral claims) conflates the entire porn site's traffic with a specialized "how to rape" academy. That's the key distortion. Porn sites get huge traffic overall; that doesn't mean 62 million unique men are enrolled in rape classes.

This kind of exaggeration happens on all sides with sensational stories — the core issue CNN reported (men sharing tips on drugging/raping partners) is real and awful, but the numbers here are inflated for rhetorical effect. The trans sports comparison is a separate debate.

It will be 100% illegal and unconstitutional to do this

Bill of Attainder Prohibition (U.S. Const. Art. I, § 10): States cannot pass bills of attainder—laws that single out specific individuals or an easily identifiable group for punishment without a judicial trial. This bill targets New Yorkers receiving payments from one specific federal fund (the Anti-Weaponization Fund from the Trump v. IRS settlement). It imposes a 100% tax (effectively a confiscatory penalty) based on their association with that fund and, by extension, alleged involvement in or claims related to January 6 events. Courts define attainder broadly to include legislative "punishment" like special taxes or burdens on a named class for past conduct.

Ex Post Facto Concerns: The tax would apply to payments from a fund already established (via a May 2026 settlement). Retroactively imposing a special 100% tax on income from a pre-existing federal program raises ex post facto issues, as states are barred from such laws that disadvantage specific parties after the fact.

Equal Protection and Due Process (14th Amendment): Singling out recipients of one federal payment source for punitive taxation (while other income is taxed normally) looks like arbitrary discrimination. While states have broad taxing power over residents' income, courts scrutinize laws that appear punitive or targeted rather than general revenue measures. A 100% rate on a specific class could be seen as confiscatory, not a legitimate tax.

Interference with Federal Programs: States can generally tax residents' federal income (with limits), but a targeted 100% clawback designed to nullify a specific federal settlement/fund could invite preemption or Supremacy Clause challenges. The fund compensates claims of government "weaponization," and states can't effectively veto or undo federal disbursements this way.

just because you are 'educated' doesnt mean you are smart

Several specific theories and psychological concepts explain this paradox:

The Myside Bias (and Intelligence): Studies, such as those published in the Journal of Personality, reveal that smarter people do not necessarily have less bias. Instead, their verbal intelligence and reasoning skills allow them to create highly sophisticated arguments defending their own views while poking holes in opposing ones, even when the opposing views are correct.

Motivated Reasoning: When a person encounters evidence that threatens their core beliefs, they often engage in emotional, survival-oriented brain activity. Smarter people are often better at "mental gymnastics", using their intelligence to invent alternative explanations that protect their existing worldview instead of objectively evaluating the facts.

The Dunning–Kruger Effect: This is a related cognitive bias where people with low knowledge in a specific domain grossly overestimate their expertise, often refusing to accept opposing, correct theories due to a failure to recognize their own incompetence.

Cognitive Dissonance: People experience psychological distress when confronted with facts that contradict their deeply held beliefs. To relieve this stress, high-intelligence individuals may subconsciously dismiss the new, correct data as flawed or irrelevant.

"Stupidity" vs. Intelligence (Bonhoeffer's Theory): The theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer famously theorized that "stupidity" is not a lack of intellectual capacity, but a group/social phenomenon where intelligent individuals become so entrenched in an ideology that they surrender their independent, objective judgment and categorically reject all opposing facts.

Tribalism and Social Proof: In academia, political alignment tends to skew left. For students and professors, conforming to the dominant group opinion provides social acceptance and reduces cognitive dissonance.

Confirmation Bias: When an entire ecosystem (like a university campus) shares a specific political view, it creates an echo chamber. Members selectively absorb information that validates their dislike of Trump while dismissing counterarguments.

In the Georgia case AOC highlighted, residents near Meta's site report murky well water and sediment after construction blasting and land clearing disturbed local groundwater. Meta's independent study found no link to their operations.

Broader issues: - **Construction** can increase sediment in private wells. - **Cooling systems** use/evaporate huge volumes of water and produce wastewater with minerals, biocides, or salts that must be treated before discharge to avoid pollution.
