Complete historical ignorance. As recently as 1986, the Beastie Boys had to fight for the right to party.

Every single right enjoyed by anyone was fought for by straight white males.

Unfortunately, I suspect we'll need to fight for them again very soon. Or lose them altogether.

This is the reality.

Everything we have, men made it happen.
Women almost never change anything, they simply show up after men get it and say they should have it to.

-The French Revolution -American Revolution -Upper and Lower Canadian Rebellion (Thanks yanks btw) -Irish Resistance -The Civil War -Barbary Wars -etc.

Plus would you look at that, those events brought about sweeping changes like the dissolution of the ruling class, the end of slavery and the establishment of self-evident human rights and expanded from there. Who else can say the same?

To be fair, the French Revolution was straight white men fighting for the right to guillotine people with a summary trial.

Oh for sure, guys like Robespierre and Marat can go fuck themselves but then again it was a culmination of the whole enlightenment movement and was mostly saved in the end by Napoleon..

Right, and they also led the march to Versailles that resulted in the King becoming a prisoner.

This is what happens when the only things taught in "history" classes are one-sided retellings of the Holocaust and Slavery.

Every last right you currently hold was pioneered by White Men. This isn't hyperbole or arrogance. This is absolute historical fact. We fought each other over most if not all of them. We're the only group who has consistently been fighting for them.

They're not fighting for their rights right now (peacefully), which is exactly the problem.

Also WW2 was mostly white men, though the darkies actually helped out a bit on that one.

Or when they say the first time the Supreme Court took away a right. They're so ignorant.

Aside from Roe taking away the right to life itself, which is way more fundamental than medical privacy by the way, there's been plenty of times the Supremes have taken away rights.

For example, they've taken away our right to remain silent. If police start chatting you up with basic question and you answer then you've waived your right to silence and when they ask "so that's when you decided to kill him isn't it?" and you take the 5th now you're guilty; the jury can be instructed that your not answering is evidence of guilt because you waved your right to silence by telling the police about your college major and that you like pizza. Exaggerating a little, but it's absurd that you can ever be forced to answer or else incriminate yourself.

Not exaggerating just completely wrong. You can reestablish your right to remain silence by explicitly taking it. Also your refusal to speak cannot be used against you. Don't spread bullshit

"The case involved an early 1990s murder where Salinas voluntarily agreed to answer questions by the police. The questioning went on for at least an hour with no problems. Then, the police asked some more incriminating questions about bullets found at the crime scene. At that point, Salinas completely stopped speaking. Prosecutors on the case later used that silence against Salinas, saying it demonstrated his guilt. The tactic worked and Salinas was found guilty of murder."

"Court said that this right to remain silent is not self-executing and that it must be claimed before it can arise."

"No person ... shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself" unless they don't say some magic words at the right time. Yeah now I remember in the Federalist Papers where they added that second part...

Silence Dogood? More like Silence Gojail.

Now if you just get up and walk out of a "voluntary" interview that you can "leave at any time" you're sending yourself to prison. That's a right we don't have any more.

The FF's would be rolling in their grave if they knew people today are forced to answer "when did you stop beating your wife" with a ritualistic formula so as to not go to jail.

Can you name that court decision? Sounds almost as big as Obama taking away habeus corpus.

Self-projection, women who never had to take real risk for anything complaining about men who actually died when their desire for rights didn't go their way. And sometimes even when it did.

Everyone is represented. They only want a "redo" so they can get rid of our most important God given rights. Fuck off, commie scum.

It also no doubt protects free speech. Must be a war for free speech. Nothing to do with geopolitics.

I mean, if you want to go there, Taiwan is a remnant of the Chinese Civil War, and has no reason to be protected by other countries.

No one's protecting Taiwan for any moral reason, or 'democracy', you dumbshit. It's all about geopolitics: it is a strategic territory that they do not want China to get its hands on.

It'd be like if the Confederacy decided they didn't lose, fled to fucking Hawaii and called that "Confederate America."

They would if they could, and did not have extensive land possessions in the US. But obviously, there was no Hawai'i back then.

The difference was also that the Chinese communists were intent on killing everyone on the other side, while the Union just wanted to bring them to heel and get rid of slavery.

The only reason the US is involved is because the economy is far too deeply tied to TSMC

You really should have people pay for your brilliant political analysis.

I'm right though

Like you were with your 6 predictions about Kim Potter, and 90% of people dying of the vaccine?

The lack of investment in semiconductors from other countries and those manufactured in the US gives TSMC a way higher priority than it has any right to have.

The relationship with Taiwan started long before TSMC was even a thing, dummy.

Oh, and it's about semiconductors now? I thought it would be a war STARTED BY WOMEN in order to GET YOU KILLED?

Suffragettes in the early 1900s firebombed a lot of pubs killing hundreds if not thousands of men. That's sort of like fighting.
