But it is perhaps a sign that you have had too much internet and/or that you should seek mental help.

From what I understand, they couldn’t even coup him either. Because the military and police are overwhelmingly on his side.

In North America, there were some tribes that were chill, but most seemingly were not

It really is a matter of the tribe. I know here in my state, we have 2 very distinct, but very different interactions with Indians (And I will call them that, because every one I have spoken to referred to themselves as "Indian Peoples").

The First Wave, when the eastern half of the state was founded, was fairly tame. This was groups like the Iowa, Kickapoo, Potawatomi, Sac and Fox, Osage, and Kanza. They werent "peaceful" like the whole "Nobel Savage" stereotype the Left likes, but they were generally more willing to engage with settlers. And even to this day, most of these tribes take an attitude of "The scars of the past can not be healed. All we can do is move forward, this time as brothers rather than enemies."

The Second Wave, when the western half of the state was founded? That was groups like the Cheyenne, Apache, Comanche, and Arapaho. And they committed absolute terror on the prairie against anyone and everyone. That part of the state still bares the scars of their attacks, that part of the state still has lots of (arguably deserved) prejudice against Indians. Incidentally, those tribes are also usually the most "White Man back to Europe! REEEEE!" tribes.

You want to talk karma. Have you ever seen the official shot placement?

Mr Pedo got hit several times, but the kill shot was to the groin.

Mr Serial Abuser got shot in the heart.

And Mr Convicted Thief (aka Mr Casually Commits War Crimes) got shot in the arm.

Those bullets must have been dipped in pure karma.

The founding fathers weren't perfect men, but slavery was very common in their day so I am tired of that being held against them.

More importantly, I have heard good arguments from actual historians talking about how they deliberately undermined it from word go. That the founders were fully aware that their documents saying "All men are equal" would eventually call attention to slavery violating that. Perhaps not in their own time, but eventually that contradiction would have to be rectified, one way or another. Now, I am sure the leftoid zombies would say "Well, they should have gotten rid of it or just not founded the country!" But that is unrealistic, and in the long term it lead to a more perfect union and republic.

The British paid their cost to slavery in gold, and we paid in blood. And we are about the only two nations on Earth to even try.

And I agree that it should be taught from a global perspective. Considering there was some study that showed that a lot of people think that slavery was an exclusively American concept (as if it didnt exist since the dawn of humanity, and the US getting rid of it is the unusual thing). And this unhealthy obsession that a lot of black people have with it is disturbing to me. I wont fall into the trap and become the racist they want me to, but I will say that a disturbing amount of people are failing the "content of character" standard.

I don't think he can make it another 4 years.

Bold of you to assume he even makes it that long. I still hold to my theory that they are trying to get him to 2 years+1 day (so they can at least attempt at getting Kamala two full terms), but I still have high odds he doesnt make it that long. Hell, I have long (but substantial) odds he doesnt make it through the end of the year.

Also the creators wanted to make "relatable character", the type you would invite for dinner. One this are sociopath, you should not want to invite hem to dinner

But thats the thing: they DO think characters like that are relatable....to them. You see it with everything they make. Probably the most extreme example I have ever seen is for a comic made a few years ago called Ignited(playlist of reviews included here). In this comic, they had some teens acting like Antifa trying to stop their school from having guns after a mass shooting, by attacking everyone else, including fellow students. And the makers of the comic insisted "No guys, really. They are totally heroes. I dont understand how you dont see it."

Same here. I always hear about all of these shortages and price hikes, and then I go to my local store and they have everything and if the price has gone up, its by a very small amount. The only true shortages I see around here are for electronics or new cars.

Just dropped today, so I doubt it. However, I know that a few months ago there was stuff about how Demon Slayer, the Manga, outsold the entire comics industry. This is the new one about how just the Merch outsells it, on top of the Manga.

Which when combined shows just how much US Comics are getting crushed by Manga. Also consider that the vast majority of US Comic merch is for classic versions of the characters, or MCU related versions.

US Comics Industry profits (this includes indies and other non-mainstream comics: About $1.4 Billion

JUST Demon Slayer Merch (not including the manga/anime itself): About $3 Billion

"Now let me tell you all about how this proves the comics industry is going strong."- US Comic Book Pros, probably

I dont either. But the fact that you have a TON of rappers deciding "Maybe Trump wasnt so bad after all" and saying that Joe Brandon can get bent give me hope for the future. You had a ton of younger people who were still not sure what their beliefs would be, and then you just ruined their lives. And they will likely return the favor in the form of backing Trump/Bannon Populist types, since the Populist dont have the same sort of social belief hangups that would have kept them away from the conservatives.

I am sure they would love to try. Too bad that they dont operate in the state and that DeSantis has been cleaning out a lot of the corruption related to voting. Or do you think it a coincidence that Miami started going Red the the first election after he got the "corrupt as sin" election manager of Broward County (one of the counties that makes up Miami) removed from her position?

Technically wouldnt be the first time. I remember in the history of my state, there was a doctor who claimed to have found a miracle cure of impotence using surgically implanted goat testicles, and in addition to all of his other accolades and awards, he was also made "Admiral of the Kansas Navy." As I am sure you can guess, as a landlocked state we have no navy. But they did it anyway.

Sidenote: Said doctor was eventually run down like a dog and sued until he died penniless. Because it turned out that his "cure" was extremely dangerous and had resulted in the death of a significant amount of his patients. Got to keep his Admiral title though.

From what I gathered through Dan Bongino, the problem is that her position is an elected office, and she managed to get in because people were more concerned with the Governors race in that election and no one cares about Dept. of Ag commissioner. She has apparently been using the position to try and sabotage DeSantis and use it to set up her own run on the governor spot basically saying "I am ruining the Bad Orange Man's number one toadie!"

It apparently hasn't been working, has not damaged DeSantis while putting a ton of attention on her, and hasnt stopped the states continued drift to the right (with some estimates predicting Miami is going to go Red in the next election and be the largest Republican controlled city in the country). So I guess it worked out great for her.

Hum, interesting. You know what it did do though? Cause a double digit percentage drop in LGBT acceptance, especially among younger people. If only someone told them that shoving things down people’s throats is a great way to breed resentment, hostility, contempt, and/or rebellion.

I mean, I was getting at that you have tons of kids (and their parents) who will buy anything with "Fortnite" slapped on it. Also, there was apparently a code for a skin in Fortnite, so there is that.

ONE OF US! ONE OF US!

On a more serious note: I have found that while they exist, they are 1) much less common than you might think, 2) very much a localized problem confined to major cities, and/or 3) usually less aggressive than you might think. All because the things they would usual do on the Twitter they cant in real life. Which may be why they are so extreme on Twitter.

To really hammer the point home: 19 of the 20 best selling adult comics in September were manga. The only American comic that made it on the list? A Batman/Fortnite crossover comic. Guess why it got there?

I have also heard rumors that when Ford finishes building their big mega-factory they are working on in Tennessee and Kentucky, they are planning on moving their headquarters from Dearborn to Memphis (to be closer to their new plant).

As well as other things I have heard of, there are apparently a lot of new steel mills under construction in the US (but mostly smaller mills instead of giant facilities owned by big multi-nationals). There are the major computer chip factories going up in Arizona. There is apparently a growing textile industry out of the Carolinas because someone finally found a way to automate the process so that you dont need thousands of workers (I saw a mill that runs on just 10 people to maintain the machines and fix errors). Apparently we are also starting to get some of the more energy intensive manufacturing types like wiring because even with the rising cost of energy, the US still has much cheaper energy than the rest of the world.

But as you pointed out: none of that is in the Blue areas, so they will likely continue to suffer as industry refuses to get eaten by a bunch of commies. I suppose that will be good for the rest of us though, as well as the nation at large.

Probably a good thing that will happen is you will see more business come back to the US, or at least North America. They were already starting due to a number of factors making China no longer as useful, but with the utterly retarded shipping cost that have started happening, it is actually cheaper and easier to just pay the higher wages in the US. The problem is that that industry wont be going back to where it left for the same reasons it left. Texas, Tennessee, and Florida have better business environments than Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio, so guess where those new factories will be going.

I think it will also be good in the long run because it shows that the government doesnt have nearly the power they claim to, and people can see it. They thought everyone would just go along with it because they said so. They werent expecting that a large chunk of the American people would remember that their heritage is rebellion and that they would get smart about it. So smart in fact that people are organizing an entire grassroots campaign without saying a word, because if they did it would draw the Eye of Sauron.

I also do think it will still end with them getting stomped on in the midterms. A lot of swing states have already gotten rid of the methods used to "fortify" the election, and did it on the hush-hush while the media was distracted with other things. And so far, in just about every off election that has happened, it has seen the Republicans (usually Bannonite/Trump Populist rather than old-school) utterly stomping the Dem they ran against into the ground and burying them alive, even in areas that have been Dem for decades.

So I stand by what I have said since Brandon was elected: What everyone else sees as the boot stamping on a human face forever, I see as the elite nobility trying to loot everything that isnt nailed down. Because they can hear the peasants at the door and coming for their booty, and no one wants to be the one holding the bag when the peasants show up (because that person will become shorthand for "infamous.").

Its more true than a lot of people realize. Remember that Netflix lost a TON of market share in the US and Canada in their last report. From what I have seen, its also happening with a lot of the streaming sites as well. So what I have to ask is....what the heck are people switching to?

For what it’s worth, my current job is doing a work bonus scheme right now that seems to be a trial run for a wage hike. If you get your minimum hours worked, you get an extra $2/hour on top of normal pay (I am sure it is a coincidence that such a hike would put us back on par with other jobs in the area).

And like I said, the only thing holding me back right now is my own personal ethics and morals. I know this, and know that any negatives to that are my cross to bear. But if we make it through busy season and the situation hasn’t improved, then I am going to start seeing if I can negotiate or if I am going to find greener pastures.

"PEOPLE ARE QUITTING BECAUSE THE WAGES ARE TOO LOW."

That has started happening at my job as well. We also have the corpo bean counters at HQ dictating policy and saying that, due to Covid risk, everyone in the warehouse has to wear mask, answer a morning survey to make sure you are "not a risk", and get the OK from corporate to travel to anything (spoiler: most people just dont and pretend they did). It has resulted in not really getting any new people in and low morale among the people who are here, mostly because the pay is lower and we are one of the only places in the region that still gives a fuck about mask.

Its honestly gotten to the point that I am also looking into taking up a warehouse/manufacturing job for a local heavy equipment plant (Caterpillar), which has better pay, laxer rules, and in a lower cost of living county. The only reason I am putting it off and only thinking for the moment is that I dont want to be "that asshole" who quits during busy season. Especially since there are only 2 of us in Returns to do the work.

21st century Western white people are, as far as I know, the only racial demographic in history with an out-group bias.

From what I saw for those same studies, its even narrower than that. Its Western white LEFTIST, because apparently moderates and conservatives still have an in-group bias. Not to the same degree as other races, but its still there.

You joke, but I have seen a depressing/disturbing amount of leftist on twitter who seem to think that holding down a long term relationship with a loving partner, involving give and take for shared happiness, is some sort of herculean task that makes you some god-tier romantic. Instead of, you know, literally the baseline.
