I'm not racist if I say I hate Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Religion is not a race, it's fundamentally an assertion of an ontology based upon the primacy of the god of Abraham/Ibrahim, Yahweh/Jehovah.

The belief in the existence, omnipresence, and infallibility of such a being as described by their texts is a detriment to our species and may ultimately catastrophically destroy civilization.

One chooses to believe or continue believing this. One can't choose their ethnicity. If I say I hate those religions, I'm saying I hate their ideas on how reality works, not where they're from or what they look like.

What writings should I read to see examples of "built-in misogyny" (I've only read The Republic way back in undergrad)?

And they're ashamed that he types up crap like what he posted.

Your opinions don't constitute reality.

People like to remember him as being snti-slavery. He wasn't. He was trying to work both sides, and it happened to benefit him to end slavery.

Lincoln frequently expressed his moral opposition to slavery in public and private. "I am naturally anti-slavery. If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong," he stated. "I can not remember when I did not so think, and feel."

This Wikipedia article has many direct quotes from him about his thoughts on the morality of slavery.

You're lying about his positions to fit your complaint.

The right thing to do would be to allow Ukraine to use our best weapons, and strike deep within russia. But that doesn't benefit America to end the war. Instead, it benefits America to drain russia for generations of all military, vehicles, equipment, and ability to recover. It benefits America to send a message to China to not fuck around.

While those are all ancillary benefits to NATO and their allies, a massive reason to not give Ukraine longer ranged weapons is to not catastrophically destabilize the country with the largest nuclear weapon stockpile on Earth. Furthermore, the United States has been giving Ukraine more "deep-strike" capable weapons systems very recently, since the Ukrainian invasion of the Kursk oblast.

There are plenty more reasons to withhold "carte blanche" access to more modern weapons platforms, but it's irrelevant to what's wrong with what you typed.

The way you frame things is what pisses me off about politics the most.

A few simple Google searches and some light reading prove your assertions as "examples" to your point wrong, but you spout drivel like this like it's obvious. And then nuance, detail, understanding, veracity, etc. are further trampled by your obviously uneducated fan-fiction(s) because it makes you feel good to virtue-signal on the internet.

The CCP, the RNC, and the DNC are not your friends.

Vote your conscience. Always remember to see who's funding who, who will gain, and who will lose. There are better choices than others, even when confronted by only bad choices.

Or just plain "criticizes".

That’s actually a core ~~tenant~~ tenet of conservative ideology

It’s basically social Darwinism; it benefits him if people believe that rich and successful people are better and ~~thereby~~ should be rewarded with more power.

~~Rascist~~ Racists are like that.

Hello, Dale! I see that you are a man of culture as well.

I've always wanted to say this!

Username checks out.

I wonder if Game Science meant avoid politics like "western identity politics" or "critique of the CCP"? Perhaps both?
