No idea what EFAP is, but they can argue any position, and never give ground. It's old knowledge.

I'm not a big believer in the whole "you have nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide" mindset, but it does make me curious what potential leak would threaten him.

Either way, I'm glad the Stasi is being exposed, but I hope it doesn't destroy Tucker.

Just look at the flowers, Lizzie.

The ass slapping thing in the NFL and MLB I always thought was a bit off. It makes more sense now.

Neoconservatism: Why We Need It

A true mental midget, elevated to useful heights.

Most ideologies make a sacrifice to implement themselves. The American Republic made a small one for independence, but 80 years later, sacrificed around 2 million to properly assert ideology.

I was so shocked and disappointed by how bad it got that I drove my boat into a hurricane and then went and became a lumberjack.

Based.

Appeals against censorship or hypocrisy don't have much value anymore. They're known values. There's a lot more value in solutions that acknowledge that the past is dead, and present a future, though.

On another note, The Expanse started from an incredibly woke possible premise, but just told its story without a lot of forced wokeness. It's there in spots, but not in a Netflix "Holden needs to peg Kamal every other episode" sort of way. That one has been fairly refreshing.

Censorship is bad as long as people are decent. We're in weird territory right now.

It's all fine and good to think that the merits against pedophilia will outweigh the merits for, but that's barely our reality right now, and it's getting worse all the time. At some point, shitty demography can't sustain liberty.

On one hand, I can understand an appreciate the cowardice. On the other, cowardice is why a case like this made it to the SCOTUS. Just burn this motherfucker down and rebuild, already.

"face to face on twitter"

had to stop there. whatever.

I stuck it out until they offed the kid. I was mostly rubbernecking at that point. I just got so bad. Honestly, I hadn't really enjoyed the majority of it since S6, but I trudged on in hopes of another Nebraska episode.

My bad.

They used to mock everyone, gently. They finally found their audience.

Not sure it would be a Prime Example, but Walking Dead went from a really fun zombie apocalypse show about a father trying to save his son, with excellent cinematography, to CW diversity quota quality.

The issue here is that they won't learn. They've already decided that liberty is a liability. They aren't wrong, though.

Liberty is a luxury of the unified.

They must have watched too much Pepe Le Pew growing up. It's the only explaination.

Nothing illegal or bannable, just stupid. I was the only one who commented, which is why everything was deleted.

Vaguely recalled drunken stupidity

I was responding to this

Well we didn't fight all the enemies in WWII we should have. If we had bombed Russia like von Neumann wanted, then the whole sweep of Communism and all those deaths and war might have been avoided since Mao would have known we meant business, so yeah, time to walk away and let Chiang Kai-shek have the country back. Wimps like Eisenhower don't have the stomach or the intelligence to do what needs to be done.

Fair, but we followed an interventionist path, rather than a conquest path. That's my ultimate issue here. I'm okay with conquest, but I despise half hearted victory. Since WW2, we've followed a path of "just enough" but it's never really been enough. If it's not enough, it shouldn't be engaged with at all.

Leftists are pedos because they're socially isolated and seek validation. A young, moldable person is the ideal, because they have difficulty finding peers that will fulfill their unrealistic needs. They're broken at their core, but they perceive it as a broken society.

Again, comment depth exceeded.

Comment threads can't go deeper, so I'm moving it up one.

What's the story of WWII?

Fought the wrong enemy, mostly. On the Japanese front, we went Total War on their ass, and made a fairly permanent ally. On the German front, we went "allied victory" on their ass, and paved the way for the Stasi. Also enabled the Russian rape of East Germany, permanently stunting their IQ. Pretty sad, all in all.

For the Persians, our intervention destabilized it in the first place. Poor foreign policy created an enemy.

I am willing to defend freedom and liberty everywhere. I would love to see us topple the Iranian regime since the young people of Iran hate it too. I am not a non-interventionist like that.

You're obviously not a non-interventionist at all, and you drank too much neo-con flavor-aid.
