That sounds very interesting. I'd love to listen to that podcast or read that book.
The book, which I forgot the name & author, posited that no civilization survives 3 generations once female sexual suppression is lifted.
I've heard similar sentiments before various times and it's hard not to acknowledge that it's very plausible at the very least. The implication is always that we're next in line as a society, but I fear that our technological sophistication and level of abundance relative to those past failed societies is so high that it could keep our society going in a sort of zombie, semi-collapsed state. Or perhaps "death" as a society this time simply entails being overrun with third worlders who eventually take over.
Of course. Never heard the English version lmao.
I've had a lot of business trips to Georgia lately and always blast this when driving down the interstate in my rental car there. Could sing the Dixie Land song by heart at this point.
Glad you linked it. This post made me think of that but I wouldn't have been able to remember the name.
You would believe your own flesh and blood who has no reason to lie to you over people that hate your existence and want you dead???
Their retarded conservative party, which is barely better than the libs fucked themselves in the ass. By making the election about Trump and positioning themselves as "slightly anti trump" to the liberals "turbo mega anti trump" they won nobody over and actively lost themselves votes.
Canucks and their "conservative" party reacting in a retarded manner to Trump does not constitute Trump "helping elect" him.
Regardless of their accuracy, they always seemed like the most dystopian thing imaginable.
I don't know, but it would line up with what seems to be the general consensus about Biden's cancer, which is that it takes years to progress to this point.
Banal evil. Gray evil. And evils yet to be known or named. Or those from other cultures.
Am I doing this right?
Yeah ever since I heard that narrative come up I've looked at a bunch of brands in local supermarkets and have yet to find any containing it. Guarantee people are just parroting shit they hear online. Just because it sounds like it could be true, doesn't make it true.
Defeating it is great and all, but in the end it's just a defensive victory. Would like to go on offense here. First order of business: get this Mike Lawler dude who sponsored this bill as far away from a legislative position as possible. Primary the hell out of that guy or ensure he does not win his seat next time.
Speaks two languages
This is supposed to be.....impressive? I bet they would call trump supporters cultists yet they themselves have the strongest of tendencies to become the most devoted sycophants of any damn swamplord piece of trash no matter how obviously they are so just because they're affiliated with the correct party.
Anyone who actually believes retarded polls like this is, well ....retarded. The first question asked should be how accurately did the pollster predict the 2024 state votes and national popular vote results? And then realize that this poll is probably even more off base than those ones.
The reality is probably somewhere between 45 and 55. That being said, even if it were 39, all it would mean is full court press propaganda is doing a number on people. And that doesn't even account for the people who would disapprove because orange man isn't going far enough.
I grew up in a typical suburb, decently nice in my opinion but not particularly high class or anything. I live there now, but will probably buy a house relatively close by (within 50 miles) sometime over the next year or two. I love my hometown; I've always been one to get super nostalgic and get lost in my memories of the past. Not sure if it's just how I am, or if it's because the present, in many respects, sucks profusely compared to the past.
Regardless, as a result I have a very soft spot for my hometown and always will. It's remained fairly consistent my entire life so far and I hope it can remain this way for a long time.
I'm a firm believer that one of the many many problems with our current society is how everyone is at the mercy of where the best jobs are, causing families to be scattered across the country. I'm fortunate to have a lot of my older extended family in the area, but I've watched as many of my grandparents' other grandchildren move away. I don't blame them, I could even see myself doing it in an alternate reality, but I think the best course of action, barring an absolutely amazing and fulfilling opportunity elsewhere, is to stay in this general area and make my own family here. I won't leave my home simply so I can feed a bit more effectively at the corporate trough.
All that to say I love my hometown, the only issue is most of the lots aren't large enough for what I want. I would like an acre or so at least to have a good garden and orchard to try and build up some degree of self sufficiency so I'm not dependent on clown world. So while I will likely leave it, I will probably end up somewhere still close by in the end.
4d chess or not, if there's any context I would actually expect Trump to be capable of some grand 4d chess master plan in, it's this one.
I, for one, enjoy the posts. This board isn't busy enough for there to be much room to be upset about it crowding out other posts.
Yeah it's crazy how fast it all unraveled for me. At the point where I think my seasonal allergies are likely caused by vaccines. Wondering how to make sure my kids never have to endure that shit.
Meanwhile, leftist billionaires like Gates and Soros continue to do the exact same thing - as they have done for decades - on the other side of the aisle.
And in a much more shady and clandestine manner. Elon is at least hyper transparent about most of the influence he is projecting. Soros funnels money through all sorts of shell companies to hide his influence.
Honestly amazing response except for the conclusion.
But in the end, to try to embrace porn and reject promiscuous culture is an incoherent position.
People merely advocating for certain things to not be banned are not "embracing" it. If I say I don't think that alcohol should be prohibited that doesn't mean I am "embracing" alcohol or any downstream problems introduced by its existence. If someone is advocating for weird shit to be normalized, that's a completely different thing altogether. I think 99% of people here could agree stuff like that should carry a stigma and not be normalized, but advocating for it not to be banned does not contradict that position.
You touch on utilitarianism a little, so it really seemed you were going to end with "and thus most here don't want it banned because it doesn't lead to us winning the overall cultural struggle we find ourselves part of, and is, in fact, counterproductive to it," but instead you randomly veered off into "not wanting something banned = embracing it."
Still saving your post though; stuff like this are why I love this board.
Most of the time they can, but there are plenty of edge cases where it's difficult to tell apart. If you see enough Japanese, Chinese, and Korean people, even as a white person you'll develop a knack for telling them apart most of the time by facial features alone.
Source: I speak Japanese and this topic has come up many times with my Japanese coworkers. I can tell pretty well myself at this point too.
In addition, a decent portion of the Japanese population pretends nothing happened and there’s nothing to apologize for
Honestly, knowing what the likely alternative looks like? Based.
Yeah I think it's extremely intellectually lazy to be like "this leader is evil, that one is evil, they're all equally evil." No, we are capable of thinking with nuance. We won't get anywhere with that kind of thinking that paints everything with one brush.
It's honestly pathetic how thoroughly an entire generation was brainwashed into mindless consumerism.
Womp womp. Thanks, definitely adding it to the list to read.
