Insert Naked Gun head slap moment here.
There is no remake, because without Leslie Nielson there is no Naked Gun.
This is a Highlander III situation.
Rand Paul is demonstrating the utter uselessness of big L libertarians when it comes to any issue of note. Rand Paul would see the entirety of US manufacturing sent overseas if it meant lower prices for goods in stores, and he makes no allowance for what that would do for American society, or national security.
He hasn't paid even a little bit attention to the hundreds of thousands of dead working class Americans that have died due to the loss of purpose those men have experienced when their jobs were offshored.
Nope. Repeal the 19th.
That is a failure of command economies, which is very true, but I intentionally don't talk about that, because economics is just part of the communist system.
Their belief that they are good people are interwoven with their political beliefs, which is why they don't understand trade offs, ignore downstream effects, and never think about 3rd order effects. Good intentions are what drives them, and because they are largely of the professional class, with university credentials, they think they are smart enough to think of everything.
There are still lots of people in the world who think that the one hundred plus million pile of corpses directly attributable to communism is a bug, that the system can work without that.
They are wrong. Those bodies are a feature.
Communism has no other recourse to deal with the vast number of people who can't be compelled to give up being selfish. This is the central weakness of communism as a system, it has no answer for people who don't voluntarily play along. It must have a strong, totalitarian government to force everyone to play, and even then there will be those who won't, so communists simply kill them.
Not just Harvard, most if not all the Ivy League universities have been.
They do not have the right to demand our participation in their mental delusion.
The left has convinced itself that they are the only moral people in the room, and that everyone else is morally depraved, and by extension evil.
I keep saying this, over and over again, but Visions of the Anointed by Thomas Sowell should be required reading for the dissident right. We are up against the Anointed.
And being black pilled about it guarantees no one does a fucking thing.
I'm going to flirt with Rule 2 on this one:
Until British officials start getting shot trying to enforce this crap, nothing will change.
UK citizens get the government they tolerate.
It is a similar situation to "climate change": doubting the science offends the delicate sensibilities of the professional class, who take it as an affront to their moral right to make all decisions for us, the unwashed and uncredentialled masses.
Britain is the ultimate expression of every gun controller, where the tool is blamed for every violent crime, and every excuse imaginable is offered for the tool wielder.
The US should be dropping Liberator pistols into the white areas of the country, by the tens of thousands.
You're giving them too much credit. 60% of people never read past the headlines.
Boomers are hedonists, still, even into old age. Those that still can, fuck like rabbits, even in nursing homes. STDs are not uncommon.
Societal decay goes a lot farther back than them, though. Soviet Russia was recruiting people in academia in the 1920s, and was not having a hard time finding people. Communism has always had a special fascination to academic types...
Milton Freidman was pro free trade, despite the mounting evidence that the Ricardian theory of comparative advantage is impossible to materialize in an era where both labor and capital are mobile.
US industry exported all their manufacturing because Asia was willing to build it for pennies on the dollar. China outright purchased President Bill Clinton in the 1990s, which is why China was granted Most Favored Nation trading status.
Tariffs is how you stabilize and protect your domestic industries, but so far, until Trump, no President has wanted to do that, due to how deep in the "free trade" paradigm most mainstream politicians are.
Thanks to Freidman.
That's about all I remember, too, and I went up to Discrete Math. :D
I did find trig somewhat useful. For example, it lets you find the area of a triangle, so you know how much siding you need to side your house. :)
Nice to see a fellow Vox traveler. Been reading his site for over a decade.
If the last ten years of GamerGate have not taught you to recognize the use of moral slander to discredit a person making a counter argument to progressive ideas, you haven't been paying attention.
"Stormfronter" is a morally loaded label used to dismiss a person noticing jewish perfidy.
Trump is notoriously technophobic, reportedly not using a computer or email.
Not surprising, given his age. Not a big deal for the office of President, either, since the primary job of a President is to make decisions, and you don't need a computer or email for that. If Trump has time to sit down and write an email, even if he wanted to, I'd be surprised. He's got staff for that. He's got staff for dialing phone numbers for phone calls. He's got staff for cooking food. He's got staff for doing his laundry. He's got all this staff because the one thing a President has the least is time.
You can put down those "very conservative Christian types" all you want, but they stood against the Hellmouth when it started to infiltrate society, and look where we are now.
I was there, in the 1990s, when 1992 Republican VP Candidate Dan Quale chided the TV show Murphy Brown for showing a single white women having a child as a single mother. He was roundly condemned for doing that, then.
Where are we now?
Are there any tv shows on now that show a normal, well adjusted white family where the father is in the home, engaged, and not made the butt of all the jokes because he's an idiot or a spaz?
No, there isn't.
The GPA curve flattens out because the obvious diversity admits flunk out in first or 2nd quarter. Those who stay after that are generally able to hack the course material, to varying degrees.
Gab has been on the receiving end of a tremendous media smear campaign, which means it has been successfully "framed" as a white supremacist site. It has also been cancelled from every big tech site on the planet, which means it has to do everything itself, including running on their own servers.
Gab does more traffic than most of the X alternatives, but is never talked about anywhere in a positive light.
Who remembers their compound fraction addition? :D
Precisely what I was going to say. Is this the same due process that Alex Jones was denied at every step of both show trials? The same due process that railroaded Jan6 protesters into years long prison sentences?
As usual, this dipshit is making a moral argument, not a factual one.
