If I had the chance to rewrite the constitution I would include something extremely important I think the founders left out.

Criminal penalties for violating enumerated constitutional rights.

All the way up and down the chain.

From the SJW faculty members trying to violate this student's 1st amendment rights ... all the way up to a legislator sponsoring a bill that is later found to be in violation of the constitution.

In all cases where a gov representative/employee has been found to violate someone's constitutional rights they are automatically expelled from their position, incarcerated for no less than one year, and barred from ever holding public office or employment again.

Speedrunning is dominated by autistic guys.
Autistic guys are extremely vulnerable to being lured by trans "recruiters" who convince them the reason they don't feel like they fit into society is that they're trans.

Prepping? Where have you been?
(The same time warp TheAndredal came from?)

The did all this, very successfully, back in January.
They and their lies already won.

Just like traditional "art" that sold for millions of dollars ... the market isn't real.

It's has long been known that the extremely wealthy use the high end art trade to launder money.

NFTs are just an evolution of that long running activity.

I mean, I totally belive the accusations against Lolita Express frequent flier Slick Willy.

I didn't believe the accusation against Biden until I heard about the recording of Tara Reade's mother calling into Larry King in the 90's about her daughter's boss assulting her. That gave Reade's story a hundred times the weight of any of the basless accusations against Trump or Kavanaugh.

I had a chance to buy the actually good and funny "Socialist Monopoly" from Target before they pulled it.
And I stupidly didn't because I thought "who will I play it with?"

And then they internet outrage hit and it got pulled from shelves within a week.
Now it's basically wrongthink contraband and I wish I had it.

Probably the last good thing that company ever made.
Been overcompensating on the woke ever since.

I have not and I will not.

I'm not anti-vax.
I'm anti this particular rushed and experimental vaccine that literally alters the genetic coding of your cells.
(If they offered me the Russian vaccine, made with traditional time tested method, I might consider that one.)

Particularly since they want me to take it so badly for clearly false reasons.
And they've been so consistently dishonest about this disease and its treatments.

I don't take strange medicines from people who've spent over a year lying to my face.

You're right on the money about how it's not about intelligence but independence, self reliance, personal drive, ingenuity, etc.
That's what they're trying to stamp out.

On average, South East Asians have demonstrably higher IQs than whites.
That's a consistently reproducible result of intelligence testing.

But just they're not being targeted in the way that western culture is for the simple reason that intelligence isn't the threat.
It's the decidedly western values of individualism are the threat.

Your hesitance to consider yourself a high-wit makes think it's likely you are one.

The fool believes he knows everything.
The wise man is painfully aware of just how little he knows.

The more I hear about Orban, the more I like him.

Earlier today I was looking at a bunch of "before & after" pictures of amazing classical architecture that has been restored under Orban. Literally the exact opposite of what is happening to classical European architecture in the rest of the EU.

I already considered the election stolen based on the abundance of basic info we already had.
(dead voters, illegal votes, shenanigans from poll workers, etc. etc.)
All that adds up to create a margin of error several times larger than Biden's margin of victory in all the fishy states.

But according to this video that shit is small potatoes, and they're making a good case for the chinese/foreign hacking I had previously assumed to be silly conspiracy.

Here's how it worked during the Obama admin:

The gov pays the rent for anyone who qualifies for section 8.

Slum lords find an aging neighborhood and start buying up dilapidated houses with no intention of maintaining them.

They move section 8 tenants in, who at best don't know how to live like a responsible adult ... at worst are straight up criminals who steal from the neighbors and/or sell drugs out of the house.

Their unlucky neighbors, unhappy and frightened by the sudden rise in crime in their once quiet neighborhood, do the only thing they can: Move away. Then slum lords buy their houses as well.

You end up with a repeating cycle where the property values in the neighborhood plummet, letting the slum lords buy up tons of houses for cheap. You can always spot a neighborhood it's happening to because the utility poles on every corner have flyers stapled to them that read something like: "WE BY HOUSES! CASH! (xxx) xxx-xxxx"

Then they fill the houses with section 8 tenants and rake in the steady income of rent from the gov.

Within a few years a once nice, affordable neighborhood has become a horrible shithole. A suburb themed ghetto.

And cities spread into the countryside like mold. Quiet rural areas and farmland are eaten up by an ever spreading sprawl of cookie-cutter suburb developments for people to flee to. (Also the people that fled to those new developments get called racist for not wanting to live next to drug dealers or have their garage broken into every week.)

I imagine under Biden's policies it's going to be similar to this, but far worse.

Whenever I hear "partner" I assume it's a same-sex relationship.
Very annoying seeing people expand the usage to hetero relationships.

People are already starting to organize a class action lawsuit over this.

Also filing SEC complaints. Because this sure looks like intentional market manipulation to drive the price down. And that's illegal.

If you weren't aware, "lived experiences" and "personal truth" are concepts, descended from post modern philosophy, that critical race theory and intersectional feminism like to use to give legitimacy to bullshit claims that aren't reflected by reality.

If a woman complains about how our society is a misogynist patriarchy because she feels unsafe to walk alone, and you point out the fact that men are actually much more likely to be assaulted than women, the you are a bad person for invalidating her "lived experiences" and "personal truth".

If we take a black woman from a wealthy family, who went to a fantastic school, was admitted to a prestigious university and given a scholarship because of her skin color, and hired to a cushy job at a company trying to improve their "diversity" ... if that woman claims she has been oppressed by systemic racism, without any evidence to support these claims whatsoever, we're not allowed to question it because the oppression is her "personal truth" based on her "lived experiences".

My mind jumps to Haidt.

The Righteous Mind, or The Coddling of the American Mind.

The Righteous Mind would help Conservatives understand why leftist thought is so simplistic and emotional. (And maybe how to appeal to them.) And help liberals understand that conservatives aren't just evil, and that there are aspects to conservatives' decisions that liberals aren't considering.

The Coddling of the American Mind would hopefully wake idiots up to the self destructive mistakes our society is making so we that we can reverse course and hopefully become a stronger people in the future.
