In 'unanimous' decisions, often the majority kicks out the minority who voted the wrong way until they get a unanimous decision. This happens in academia. Consensus is reached when we kick out the quacks.
In practice, in national politics, how could it ever be decided? Only 10% ever do anything. Naturally I subscribe to elite theory. People don't revolt. The elites rally the population to do what they want. Don't forget that Rosseau is writing to convince the people of his generation.
Holy shitballs this guy is something else. For some reason I always thought he was a typical Hollywood lefty dirtbag, but his whining about getting cancelled and now this statement proves in addition to being a lefty dirtbag he is a complete fraud. Like crooked televangelist or used car salesman level. In another life he would be Hasan or Destiny.
It has been the tactic since since the dawn of liberalism, of the Rousseau variety. The liberal elites decide what the 'general will' is and what defines the new normal for society. Any deviation from that makes you a wrong thinker and enemy of the people. In marxist rhetoric this is called being reactionary even if you're just calling for a return to the previous normal.
Politicians believe what they're paid to believe.
I guess you didn't hear about the latest AI shoah with Grok (rip) praising Hitler and forcing X to murder it and replace it with a new bot also named grok but completely different and neutered to be like chatgpt.
Lutnick is a snaketongue spellcasting demon though, so consider the source and why he said it.
"Get that racism out yo mouth!" 🤬
What does that have to do with h1b? Von Braun didn't take anyone's job.
I was a big fan of Letterman long ago too, before moving to Conan. He jumped the shark already in 2016 when he had Trump on and acted friendly then ambushed him to tell him his ties are made in Cambodia. It was down hill from there. He also started to reveal himself to be a huge degenerate around that time.
refusal to even comprehend the notion that a girl could lie about rape
Oh they comprehend it alright. They look at the liar and think 'she could be me, I may need people to believe my lies in the future' but they dont have the strategic forward thinking capability to appreciate the fable of The Girl Who Cried Rape.
Less about Trump and more just pointing out that the system needs young men to die and will do anything to get them.
If all these people complaining had actually been watching his ratings would have been so high Disney wouldn't have canceled his show over this.
*taps the sign*
We don't even know who the top floor is. You've got globalists up there for sure, but behind them are names we've probably never heard, and they've been doing this for a very very very long time. Depraved knowledge passed down through the ages.
Once I accepted the world is run by literal vampires everything started to make sense.
The Twitter Files are a right wing myth!
I suspect anyone in 2025 who speaks Japanese and isnt a raging liberal would have better prospects and not waste their time trying to become a localizer.
Trump and LeVar Burton.
Yeah I think Disney would have gotten rid of him eventually but the timing and Republicans pouncing was a convenient way for them to do it without taking blame. Sometimes you need to let your enemy save face. Give them an escape route as Sun Tzu would say. I really don't care about 'the damage done from "Republicans are censoring"'. Again, perception of virtue vs reality.
people who are solely interested in their public image
I don't know which side is which in your theory, but it is deception vs forthrightness. Unscrupulous underhanded power vs fair warning. Generously, Captain Kirk in TOS vs Sisko in In the Pale Moonlight. You can clearly see the difference in individual billionaires. Elon Musk hasn't done anything any of the others don't do, but they do it quietly and behind the scenes while he screams like an autist. That is hardly helping his image.
Republican politicians ARE the professional losers who write sternly worded letters with no intention to act, but that's a different issue. Something was accomplished here no matter how our image is perceived.
They have a fake degree too.
Ironically what leftists always accused Charlie of being and doing in the comments of his college debate videos. Yet the difference between them was night and day.
Then watch the remaining hour. He has some amazing quotes in this one that I'm surprised haven't got the video taken down yet.
It will be Starfield with a fantasy skin.
I'm sure Rolling Stone will report on these overdoses the way they eagerly reported on Ivermectin overdoses based on one unverified report.
