Well here's one of those tradcon wet dream policies that has literally never worked in practice.

Every single time this is tried, it fails to raise the birth rate and only results in more fatherless homes and broken kids as women take the money and dispose of the man whom they would otherwise need to be their provider.

You can't rebuild the traditional family by giving mothers the option to replace fathers with the state, because most of them will choose the latter.

Surely nobody would bankroll bots to fedpost about the jooooze on a board they don't like in order to discredit the community.

But the average is still 6.6, at least right now.

People's taste being what it is, anything with an IMDB rating below 7, if it has at least a hundred ratings, is almost guaranteed to be garbage.

You also can't rate the reviews. If you have an IMDB account, it let's you vote on whether an individual review is "helpful" or "not helpful," but votes on the Rings of Power reviews are being reset.

The French wouldn't have had that problem if they hadn't gleefully cheered for the economic sanctions imposed by the other Great Powers on Germany after WWI, without which the Nazis would never have gained power.

The Western-Ukrainian military-industrial complex wouldn't have the problem they're currently having if they had resisted the urge to keep poking Russia like a couple of naughty schoolchildren pelting the teacher's back with spitwads.

In both cases, it seems the rest of us get to keep paying for their absolute hubris.

Their obsession is born of fear. They're terrified of Trump, and they should be.

gay men are above women in the hierarchy of intersectionalism.

That's just not true. Gay guys get more points if they're Gays of Color, but white gay men are absolutely not let off the hook for their "toxic masculinity." Women are by far the most fanatical enforcers of the social expectation that gay men are supposed to be effeminate and pursue feminine interests. Women tend to take it extremely personally if they meet a gay guy who is not interested in going shopping for clothes or going to see a rom com, or even if he just acts like a normal, reasonably masculine heterosexual.

Even gay men are not allowed to have their own spaces, as is evidenced by the loud, obnoxious drunken bridal parties that invade gay bars and grope the patrons. Certainly women's desire to police male behaviour does not stop at straight men.

I think a lot of the problem with Nickelback wasn't even the mediocre music so much as their behaviour, especially Chad Kroeger. The man's ego outstrips his talent by orders of magnitude.

That's the last thing we need. Merging the PPC with the CPC would neutralize the only political force we have that even resembles anything based. The PPC may never win a seat, but their mere existence forces the CPC to the right. 2 years ago, Poilievre would never have gotten away with saying the kinds of things he's saying right now and still remained the leadrship frontrunner.

2-Spirit, which is supposedly the way certain aboriginal tribes used to refer to homosexuals. According to proponents of the Noble Savage theory, 2-Spirited people were given positions of respect in native communities, and often looked to as some sort of spiritual authority.

There is actually almost no evidence that this term predates European colonization. It was most likely made up by revisionist Native Rights activists as a way to reinforce how much more "progressive" aboriginal societies were than Euorpean cultures. Much like the "We didn't have private property" narrative.

Don't worry. It won't actually happen because the economy will collapse before they can do it.

I thought that was from the previous album: I Grew Up On The South Side of Chicago. It was featured along with his cover of "Skater Boy."

I don't know what you mean. He's a revolutionary musical talent.

My personal favorite tracks from the Civil War 2.0 album are "We're All Gonna Die!", "The MSM Is Too Hyperbolic," "There's Gonna Be Guerilla Warfare In The Streets," "I Wear This Beanie Cuz I'm Bald (But You're Not Supposed To Know That)" and "Did You Know That I'm Mixed Race?"

I don't understand why they won't play that game either. Sounds like the easiest win they'll ever have.
