Jesus demonstrated righteous anger.
When he found the moneylenders in the temple, he was utterly furious; but he contemplated the situation for four days before he confronted them.
He even took the time to plat his own whip before scourging them, flipping tables and kicking them out of the temple.
Playboy was unironically the best magazine in the USA while Robert Anton Wilson was editor in the 1960s.
Newsboy caps are kind of an American thing. They didn't really get popular in the UK.
This is a flat cap. The seams are different.
A flat cap has two seams like a baseball.
A newsboy cap has seams like pie slices. It is similar in construction to a baseball cap, just baggier.
They are not the same. The newsboy cap is nice, but it doesn't have the history of the flat cap.
It is a flat cap
Not to be confused with a newsboy cap, which are similarly shaped but differently constructed. Flat caps have two seams like a baseball. Newsboy caps have seams like pie slices, like a baseball cap.
Flat caps were worn by the working class while the middle class administrators and professionals wore Bowler hats. The Bowler hat is actually the hat of the Wild West until people worked out that shade hats were more useful, then they wore sombreros and straw hats.
Clothing is mainly in-group out-group social signaling. Hats especially so.
Masonic lodges are often easy to rent as community halls.
That particular cap is very strongly associated with the working class.
I get that leaving it on is rude, but he is wearing it as a political statement.
Did you know that the tribal leader of Ghana asked for the British to colonize the country? They were going to refuse, but his impassioned plea changed their mind. He could see that there were real benefits to European rule and their investment in the land and its people.
Even today Ghana is a much better place to live than the surrounding countries.
Even conquest is not necessarily bad. It depends on the peace after the invasion. The Romans, for better or worse, were a stabilizing and unifying influence that allowed Europe to become civilized. Without them I am sure they would still be petty, squabbling tribes enjoying 'multiculturalism' until the Muslims took the whole of Europe. I would much rather live under Roman rule than Islamic rule.
but I also don't think it was worth the effort. Why try to build civilization there into a tribal people who hadn't had it.
Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and so many more. Compared to Liberia etc.
The last time you spoke to me on the subject, you were pretty clear that colonization was bad by definition. I am not going to go dig up the post.
You gloss over the Romans. They were rough on resisting populations, but they brought law and trade to their conquered lands. They unified people by language. Scotland and Ireland were barbaric shitholes for a thousand years because the Romans decided they were not worth the effort.
All cultures are not equal. Raping children and cannibalism is not of the same value as the rule of law and fair, working courts. Having a big cry because the practice of suttee was stopped is utterly moronic, even if the Hindus really, really want to burn their widows.
I don't think colonization is what is happening to the western world, because the places the British Empire (for example) set up were not even countries yet. Even India was a bunch of tiny states ruled over by petty kings.
The western nation certainly are countries.
Palestine has been systematically murdering every voice of moderation, especially all the Christians, for more than a generation. The entire country is ruled by a theocratic terrorist regime. Even the other Islamic nations in the region want nothing to do with them because any immigrants immediately become militant and start terrorists attacks. Waves of immigrants from Palestine is a major reason as to why Lebanon turned into a religious civil war.
But feel free to go there and tell them to give the Palestinians more cuddles. That might just be what they need.
Anyway, carry on. I promise to more accurately recall your positions from now on.
To vary things up you can always watch: In the Line of Duty: Ambush in Waco
The answer is one person died of radiation related causes.
A number of temp workers did duties, including clean up. Their exposure was monitored and they reached maximum lifetime radiation exposure or something close, and then were cycled out.
And you are wrong. Germany has decommissioned all of its, useful, safe, completed nuclear reactors because of normies emotional feelings about nuclear power, under circumstances where energy generation was a national security issue in aftermath of Germany being cut off from Russian gas.
Activists loyal to the Green party changed the reports to lie and reverse the findings and claim that the last remaining reactors could not be run safely within guidelines. I am sure they felt they were accomplishing a great good.
The left and women are emotional thinkers and not overly self-aware. hoe_math has a number of videos on "Levels of Consciousness" which is a useful concept to understand when thinking about the Theory of Mind and mental development, rather than just intelligence.
Women and lefties tend to get stuck on something close to level 3 of the seven levels. This is why Socialism is so attractive to them. It offers a complete solution that fits with their simplified mental worldview.
Advertising has worked just fine, especially on women. Everything from DeBeers selling women the image of a glamourous diamond engagement ring to encouraging them to be the most promiscuous of any generation since the stone age.
The Democrat party is successful specifically because this kind of emotional thinker is swayed by simple, emotional advertising and manipulation by fear, uncertainty and doubt.
Women make up the largest voting block and single women are the largest part of that minority. The Democrats have been fucking ruthless in rolling out social policies that encourage women to stay single or divorce; and as a result have been able to rely on their votes to stay in power; so they could roll out more policies that encourage women to stay single or divorce.
Just look at the number of women who passionately support abortion. University educated women, as a rule, tend not to get pregnant. Poor and black women, especially black women, get half the abortions.
Almost all single women get emotional and demand to be freed from the social consequences of having an unwanted baby. They are lead around by the promise of consequence free promiscuous sex, without understanding that is what they are protesting and voting for.
So there you go, that is two things. The end of nuclear power in Germany, thanks to decades of propaganda by the "greens" and making almost all women in the USA single issue voters with regard to abortion.
I agree hoe_math could explain himself better. He gets more clear and more brief as he works through ideas and practices his presentations. But I don't think he is wrong.
You are right, if a little confused.
With the Chernobyl NPP meltdown there were four people who volunteered for a suicide mission to turn valves; which was utterly critical.
All four lived.
With the Fukashima nuclear disaster, a number of temporary workers volunteered to do work, including cleanup work. All of them were monitored and reached their maximum lifetime radiation exposure before being cycled out.
One person who was monitoring radiation levels in the hottest zones died (years later) of lung cancer. After the inquest it was found that radiation had contributed to his death.
In contrast, more than 35 people died due to the evacuation.
So the official number is one. One person died of radiation related causes.
Do you know about the Dunning Kruger Effect?
So people can be simultaneously very ignorant AND very confident. I'll give you an example. Nuclear power.
Almost all normies know nothing at all about it. They have very strong, emotional opinions on the subject. It is currently being used as a big, scary election issue here in Australia for the federal election next month.
How much do you know about Nuclear Power? Nothing? More than nothing?
This week in YouTube comments I had people (dozens) confidently tell me that thousands of people had died in the Fukishima Nuclear Power Plant meltdowns and that there was widespread contamination.
Do you think that is true? Here. Without looking; how many people died from radiation related causes following the Fukashima nuclear accident? Pick any number between zero and ten thousand.
Do you still think hoe_math is full of shit?
Bring back the code duleo.
When reputation is paramount and men make their living from the levels of trust they can maintain, it only makes sense to fight to keep your reputation.
If I am insulted and you persist in your libelous claims, I will prove my good character on your body and you will recant or fucking die.
An older man like President Trump might well nominate a second to fight on his behalf.
Some of my favorite people are autistic.
From a governance point of view it is much, much easier to deal with the biggest 20% of companies than it is to deal with thousand upon thousands of small businesses.
Those companies have lobbyists who will meet with politicians and tell them specifically what they want. Big companies will give assistance to the politician to get what they want, like writing bills for them to propose or donating to their reelection campaign or funding Super PACs.
Big businesses can also offer sweeteners like good jobs to politicians after their political career is over.
These priorities are retarded, because the economy at large is 80% small businesses. Small businesses are the smallest and most flexible, and best able to respond to changing circumstances, like tariffs.
There you go. It isn't necessarily graft and corruption. It could just be laziness and incompetence.
You are categorically wrong in almost every respect on the subject of knives.
Knives are lethal when used with anything approaching skill.
It is this simple. You take a utility knife or a $1 steak knife. You hold it in your dominant hand with your thumb on the spine of the knife. You thrust towards the left hand side of your victim's chest, about level with the breastbone.
Bonus points if you orient your knife horizontally so it won't get hung up on their ribs.
A knife with a decent, non slip, ergonomic handle (like a $1 steak knife) is a bonus, because you hand is less likely to slip along the blade and cut your fingers, allowing you to stab more than once. A Buck 110 Hunter (arguably the most popular pocket knife of all time with 15 million made since 1963) would be great for this. A knife with a hand-guard or hilt would be better, but it doesn't really matter because one decent stab is fatal even if you cut your fingers.
Knives kill by causing bleeding. Any forceful stab to the chest or gut is a mortal wound, but hitting a major blood vessel is required to ensure your victim dies before surgery.
"Oh, that is so complicated" You say. Who would know how to do that?
Everyone. Everyone who has spent more than ten minutes holding a knife knows how to do this.
The authors report that stab injuries were recorded most frequently in the chest, followed by the abdomen and then the neck
From
Which includes a meta study of stab wounds reported at Australian hospitals.
This is the way knives are actually used in the wild when people actually intend to kill someone.
Slashing or hacking is relatively ineffective and more likely to result in superficial wounds, and this is fucking obvious to anyone who has thought about it.
How do I know all this? I have spent years working in security, and getting stabbed is something that keeps me up at night. If someone pulls a knife you run because even a total idiot can kill you.
The first part of forgiveness is acceptance. Instead of being mad at someone for not being what they could be, you accept that this is what they are, and they will not change or grow.
You don't get mad at a scorpion for stinging. That is what they do. You don't get mad a toad for being a toad and doing what toads do.
"You could have been an astronaut! I am so mad at you toad!"
It doesn't work.
So when you truly understand that the person that killed your son is unable to empathize, plan or even truly understand the concept of the future, you find a certain kind of calmness and you forgive them.
Then you are ready to begin take the steps required to protect your community from these creatures.
Holy shit Gizortnick. You vacillate between deeply knowledgeable and deranged faggot so wildly I just don't know how to feel anymore.
Every time I start to respect you for a detailed, insightful, knowledgeable post like this you follow up by explaining to me that Colonization is, by definition, more evil than Satan's asshole. That you know that all of the colonized African nations are demonstrably, definitively, better off than their uncolonized neighbors, but it doesn't matter because a fax from Mossad told you so; or some shit.
Then you'll explain that the WHO should be run by Jews instead of the Chinese like God intended. Or that reverse colonization is Pure Justice, or something equally retarded.
But I keep giving you chances.
Tariffs are an opening position for negotiation. Everyone gets them, and then the talks will start for a trade deal or whatever.
Some people will get better deals than others.
It is worth it. They have the very best vampires in all of Europe!
I suspect that takes time to unwind all that red tape.
I do not doubt that Trump will follow through. I just wonder how long it will take. Has that ever been done before?
It isn't a very good gun oil.
You can burn it instead of diesel oil, with only a few teaspoons white spirits as additives.
Clothing is mainly ingroup out group social signaling.
Women signal sexual availability with they clothes they wear.
Thanks to tinder, she is certain she is not going to meet a sexual partner in person. They will all look at her profile picture online.
So part of the shitty dress standard is to discourage men from talking to her and giving her 'the ick'; and part of it is to signal to other women (and fags) what social group she is a member of.
She has no interest in being seen as cute, attractive or feminine. So she dresses in baggy, mannish clothing.
Holy shit.
Firstly, nothing can prevent an irrational fear.
Secondly, violent crime in western countries (apart from certain culturally enriched hotspots) is very, very low compared to any time at all a last century.
Women might fear rape, but mostly stranger rape is very rare.
You don't get out much, do you? Have you seen what women wear to clubs? Or the beach in Cancun?
I live in a port town. The last time a US Navy ship arrived here, sluts came out in force and fucked all of the US Sailors stupid. Many of the local population of young women dressed up in their shortest, sluttiest clothes and hunted down sailors to bang them silly; then go home and pretend that they were still good girls.
Then went back to wearing baggy, 'fuck off don't talk to me' cardboard clothes on Monday.
That is a polar opposite of the Japanese fashion scene.
You need a low transient population, too. A small town where everyone moves in for work, stays two years, then moves on is terrible. No one has any attachment to the community and they are just holding their breath until they get back to the world.
Stable communities, stable relationships and generational investment makes things better.
