Look, just understand that the worship of Christ is EVIL.

Why don't you just jump the fence and join the nice Church of Satan? Those guys are cool!

I was thinking that it was like he grew up in an ex-socialist nation that was trying to tax it way out of poverty?

But you could be right.

Pathfinder, as a company, has wokeness of over 9,000.

Stagecoach et al. are very solid! They do great work! 100% Hit rate.

I just agreed with a comment by referencing the comment. It is a tautology.

I heard that Biden's chief of staff is actually Obama in a rubber mask.

That checks out with the findings of Stagecoach et al. November 2024.

I wish Trump were as based as the left thinks he is. That would be fantastic.

The reality is that he won't even be able to undo the damage of the last four years. The Democrats have printed more than half the money in the history of the world in this term.

Even if Trump does everything right, there will be a earth-shaking crash that the Dems will blame on him.

Humans are designed to suffer. Suffering is an intrinsic quality of life. As mortal, finite, imperfect creatures suffering is inevitable

This isn't true at all. I'm atheist and I feel happy and content and at peace. I love life, and I love my life.

It's your religion, Christianity, that brings the idea that life on this earth is a "vale of tears". Your religion defiles and demeans our earthy existence, telling us that we must suffer because of the original sin.

I think I understand you just fine.

If you think you can struggle without suffering, then good for you.

My point stands. You are projecting like a motherfucker.

Join the Fanny Pack master race.

Men specifically. As a striper.

Sometimes she raped them too.

Don't forget rapist. She raped a bunch of men as a striper. Dosing them with date-rape drugs, then fucking them and stealing all their shit.

She bragged about it. She laughed about it in interviews.

Life is struggle. This has been recognized by philosophers that pre-date Christ. It is recognition of the second law of thermodynamics. The universe in general and your life in specific requires struggle, effort, energy to do anything but coast to a stop and die.

If you stop struggling, everything you've worked for, everything you have built will just drain away, and you'll be left with nothing.

Even if, by the grace of good fortune, you have a pile of resources that requires no effort or struggle to maintain or administrate, it just means that there was earlier struggle. You are coasting down from the top of a taller hill.

Moreover, if you want to improve more than your life, if you want to improve your family, city or country, then that will take fantastic struggle. Not only against the natural forces of empathy, but against the self-absorbed useful idiots, who work against you with every step.

That you blame Christianity for this universal condition says much more about you than it does about the world.

I don't think you are really disagreeing with me, though yours is a more nuanced take.

With a more functional economy,.or even more financial reserves, the USSR could have bought food.

Once the citizens can noonger afford bread, revolution is as inevitable as gravity. Without money, during a famine feeding and paying the army to suppress the revolution becomes next to impossible.

North Korea is something of a special case, but mostly because they are spending all the food and money they do have on keeping the army functional. The North Korean population is unlikely to balkanize.

The revolutions of the "Arab Spring" have all been fairly directly linked to the price of food as an igniting factor, however with the USSR, there were a large number of factions that had been quietly bidong their time and waiting for the right moment to throw off the shackles.

I am sure without the economic situation of the 80s, the USSR still would have fractured, it just happened much faster thanks to deft acceleration by Ron.

That just means that Socialisms limps along until there is no longer enough food or money to pay the military and secret police.

Ronald Reagan was insightful enough to cause acceleration of military spending of the USSR, which hastened their inevitable economic collapse.

Socialism turns a successful country into a third world tin-pot dictatorship run by warlords. Some of these are very stable.

You may well be correct.

Glowies abound, both here and elsewhere. Only a prize moron would advocate violence in a public forum and then go on to make specific plans.

Perhaps your operational security is so catastrophicly poor as to make.you worse than useless to any movement or operation that you join. Perhaps.you are a troll, pretending to be something that you are not to encourage people to get into trouble. Perhaps you are a glowie.

In any case, anyone who actually listens to you are even more stupid than you appear to be.

Thanks for coming. See yourself out.

While I don't condone direct action, I point out that this is exactly what Islamic immigrant population do to ensure that they hold ranks.

Last I checked it was about 40% of the US population were functionally illiterate in English.

A lot less are functionally illiterate in Spanish.

You can map illiteracy by showing a map of Spanish speaking counties, with a couple notable exceptions which somehow correlate to ... Other factors.

So, while she was away at University, I should have persuaded her to give up her studies and take up a trade?

Or should I have pre-empted her career right out of high school?

Did you know what "woke" was right out of high school? I didn't.

No worries buddy!

BTW, can you name two states in Australia? Or two provinces in Germany? How about any city in Italy that isn't Rome?

Here is one for you. What does ACT stand for? Remember to work it out with context clues!

My sibling works at a university. Everyone she works with, everyone responsible for her promotion (or lack of) is a Neo-Marxist. Her entire working career has been there. Her mentor received a lifetime achievement award for contributions to the field of Critical Theory, which is literal Neo-Marxist theory.

They may not be very Neo-Marxist, but that is like saying they are the least retarded kid on the short bus.

When should I have stepped in?

I guess that would make sense if you assumed everyone lived in the USA.

Western Australia is a fuckload bigger than Germany, cunt.

Those cheerful llama fuckers!

Only when anomalies stack up and increase to make the worldview unsustainable.

My experience shows that for most people the new facts must reach a point where the cognitive dissonance becomes almost physically painful before they will change their mind about anything.

Then they will probably hate you for changing their mind, because they decide that you are the source of the discomfort, which is false, because you don't control the Truth of the world.

If parts of their worldview are connected to their identity, then they would probably rather die than change. For example, lefties who are deprogrammed enough to see that the cause they were advancing causes almost unlimited misery and death. To discover that you have been so badly wrong is intensely painful should cause deep reflection.

I am strange in that I have cultivated a willingness to be shown how I am wrong, specifically, so I can be less wrong in the future. It is a deeply unnatural mode of thinking and requires rigorous application to develop. I am still struggling with it. Being a devotee to the capital T truth of the world does not make one a nice person, nor is it advantageous for making friends or cultivating social relationships. I'd rather be right than happy. I won't lie, even to myself.
