Western democracies are learning a hard lesson right now. You can’t let any one player get too big or too strong.

The goal is to distract from the main points of their anti-regulation onslaught

Black people helped built the U.S., what a fucking disgrace to the atrocities their ancestors suffered.

The only time America loses its mind is when there’s a national security threat. I don’t know what’s going on here, but all of these allowances seem totally out of the norm, so I am going to guess it’s something like that.

The best response to a quran burning free speech troll is to copy their free speech, burn a bible etc. who cares? It’s all nonsense anyways, and people need to get over it. There’s no need for violence or bloodshed

 

These people lose any credibility when they say nonsense like this. Overworked and overloaded personnel created this issue, but someone cutting budgets isn’t going to admit that. Might be the start of America’s brain drain if this kind of race-baiting politics continue.

This is dumb, you can do America First policies and have FDR-type socialism, or Nordic model policies, together. American permanent residents and citizens should get benefits they pay for via their taxes. Simple.

 

I just want to say that I feel bad for creating an environment where people are maybe getting distracted from processing stuff that’s happening around them, and maybe to people they know. I can sometimes dig into the wrong thing at inappropriate times, that’s a me problem. Here’s a meme, and sorry if you’re going through something awful right now.

A real goat 🐐

 
 

Recent evidence has revealed a need for balanced evaluations of potential symmetries and asymmetries related to political ideology (e.g., Duarte et al., 2015; Jussim et al., 2015, 2016; Crawford, 2017; Frimer et al., 2017; Proch et al., 2018; Ditto et al., 2019; Eadeh and Chang, 2019; Fiagbenu et al., 2019; Clark and Winegard, 2020; Honeycutt and Jussim, 2020). Using a multi-method approach spanning multiple content areas, validity types, statistical controls, and scale types, the present results consistently show that, just as right-wing persons are sometimes authoritarian, left-wing persons may also be similarly authoritarian. Taken together, this large array of evidence suggests that left-wing authoritarianism is more of a reality than a myth.

Trying to tell if someone is a patriot based on their race or sexual / gender orientation is fucked. There are and have been many straight, cis, white traitors of the U.S. government. It’s just insane and unreasonable to expect that just because someone is white or cis or male then they’re safe or want the best for their country. Truly magical thinking devoid from reality and facts.
