I used to want meritocracy. And then I saw my people get systematically destroyed, careers ruined, families broken up, deaths of despair in the hundreds of thousands, all under a purportedly "meritocratic" system.
So now we will take everything. The left and their third world pets can have nothing. I don't give a shit anymore. I'm tired of fighting with both my hands tied behind my back in service to something that doesn't even exist. There is no fucking meritocracy. There's just ethnic cartels looking after their own people at the expense of mine. So fuck you and fuck your fake meritocratic system.
@Anc_Aesthetics Even without the migrants, meritocracy has been dead for a long, long time. The only people who get promoted are the people who check off all of the HR Department's boxes.
@WomanDefiner My trust in Vivek was tepid at best to begin with, but then he visited this church during his campaign. I'm familiar with this church. It's a borderline cult that has a history of child abuse. I have no respect for anyone who legitimatizes them.
Turns out many “constitutional conservatives” hate the people who wrote the constitution and think they were fascist pagans
What these people really worship is the civil rights act
@KaiserLoengramm They make AI images trying to embarrass you guys because their arguments can't hold up on their own. It would be funny if it weren't so pathetic.
Sometimes the person you’re arguing with online is a paid agent whose job is to set the frame, not win an argument. The frame matters more because claims are disposable. A frame shapes how you understand the issue and how you talk about it.
A frame tells you what the argument is about before you ever start arguing. It decides which questions get debated, which assumptions pass without scrutiny, and what never gets discussed. So you can “demolish” someone with facts and still lose if you accept their frame.
That’s why states and powerful interests pay to seed frames. If they can get you arguing inside theirs, they don’t need to win. They need enough people to carry the frame for free and keep everyone arguing inside it. Once that happens, the propaganda no longer needs the propagandist.
Look, the debate is often just bait. Setting the frame is the real goal for propagandists.
@RetardDecoder This happens nearly every time there's a major election. Like clockwork. You would think the anti-Trump think tanks would have thought up a new strategy by now.
You know, after talking with @ChristianHeiens and getting some recommended reading, there’s a lot I think that can be said about Carl Schmitt but I think it’s really hard to argue with this quote of his
“There are extreme cases where the laws become inadequate even to their own preservation, and where the universal resource is a dictator, or martial law.” - Schmitt
These times do exist, and that time may very well be now that we require martial law to preserve us, and regardless of who actually said this, the words themselves do ring true. Sometimes, you do need a dictator to preserve what truly matters.
