There’s a rapidly disintegrating brand of American conservatism that is quickly on its way out the door because it’s believers wrap their entire worldview, philosophy, and preferred policies around the idea that the last 12 years simply didn’t happen.

You can’t continue to expect people to cling to this fiction that the state and all institutions in society (both public and private) should be neutral about questions of morality and virtue after all of us just got through watching institutionally-backed pride parades, institutionally-backed transgenderism, institutionally-backed DEI, institutionally-backed replacement migration, and institutionally-backed anti-White discrimination.

Classical liberals within the American Right keep wanting to relitigate a debate that’s already settled, because they understand what happens after a critical mass of people on the Right conclude, through their own first-hand experiences, that a particular vision of the good will always be publicly promoted and imposed at all times and in all places by someone, and that this vision is inevitably going to receive state backing, just like the Great Awokening did.

That’s what politics is. That’s what all laws are. Every act of legislation encodes a specific vision of right and wrong. There’s always a theological undertone to politics. You can’t escape this, and trying to do so simply hands power over to those who are all too willing to impose their political theology at your expense.

@johnkonrad The solutions are only as expensive as our bleeding hearts allow them to be. Thieves used to be handled with cheap and often brutal solutions that disuaded such behavior from manifesting in other would be thieves. Perhaps capital punishment goes too far, but public flogging...

Iran did try to purchase nuclear weapons technology from Pakistan in the 1990's and were rejected officially, but were covertly provided with centrifuge technology through A.Q. Khan.

If all they wanted was fuel grade uranium or certain medical grade radioactive isotopes they could have simply purchased it from Russia or possibly even France with IAEA oversight. The idea that Iran only ever wanted to enrich for peaceful purposes is naive.

When I was younger and an avid anime watcher I didn't care much for shows with an over abundance of fan service. It made it awkward or impossible to recommend some otherwise really good shows to my more "normie" friends. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate all fan service, it just felt needlessly tacked on in some cases.

[Geiseric @EmperorGeiseric]

@Peoples_Pundit I am having trouble understanding why this matters. The Iranian leadership pursued weapons grade enrichment prior to Midnight Hammer without popular public support. But now they are going to continue to pursue the same goal, but only because it suddenly polls well?

@IamSean90 No doubt they were probably also Post10 enjoyers.

@ChristianHeiens I don't know. The Falklands appear to have significant untapped oil reserves and not enough democracy. England and Argentina may just want to back off their claims of ownership for a few more decades to see how everything pans out.

@bear_ing The drone that they shot the video with had to stay at a distance to avoid falling into her gravity well.

@TheBrancaShow I'm sorry for your loss.

@Sargon_of_Akkad Carl, for the love of Christ, stop engaging these nobodies. They cannot be reasoned with or won over. If they lived in late 70's Cambodia they would be arguing that Pol Pot wasn't going far enough.

@Sargon_of_Akkad The hands actually do look ok, just really pixelated. Run the original image through one of the online AI detection apps just so you don't end up with egg on your face.
