I’m sure you’ve all heard about the spat between Ben Shapiro and Candice Owens over Israel. I haven’t seen anything posted about it, but I often miss things. Just wondering what y’all thought of it. I think both of them are at least a little unhinged, but Shapiro’s main beef seems to be...

I agree. It shouldn’t be partisan. It shouldn’t be ideological. It shouldn’t be identitarian. But I’m sure he thinks his side is the pragmatists rather than than the idealists.
TL;DR: I got time. Too cold to do anything outside or go anywhere. No work. Might as well INGO. People claiming they're not participating in the culture war are full of ****.
I talk to people who aren't like me. I want to know what they're thinking. When I talk to progressives about politics a...
This day was designated in 1971 to commemorate the ratification of the 19th amendment.
But. Unless some sexes are more equal than other sexes. Wouldn’t it also be men’s equality day too? :dunno:
If you're not into Star Wars, haven't seen Kenobi, don't care to see it, probably shouldn't bother reading on. Also, spoiler alert applies.
So the new Kenobi series dropped on Disney (yes, I still have Disney+, no, I don't care if you dropped it). There's a new character, Reva, that seems to...
Was thinking it would be good to have a thread to tally up election tricks, fraud, whatever, leading up to the elections in November.
Here's some potential shenanigans:

Okay so...
alright, so since the Buffalo shooting I've been hearing a lot about "replacement theory". In the WN/WS circles, it seems to be the idea that some cabal, particularly Jewish elitists, have plotted to replace the white voter bloc with non-white immigrants who vote Democrat. And that's a pretty...
INGO keeps telling us that Democrats are communists. Well not so fast. Of course the Democrats have their “Justice Democrats” wing of the party. And they definitely lean very Mau. But the strength of the party, especially the Crony-in-cheif himself, is establishment whoring. Behold, the...

This is hilarious. Alexandria Ocasio Smollett.m
Would have been great if Cruz would have known.
AOC: “you tried to kill me. You can just sit this one out!”...
Would you consider Trump the legitimate president if the ballots from the alternate slates of electors were selected and Trump was declared the winner?
It's long. Feel free to skip. Just a stream of thinking.
I think everyone who thinks less of someone just for what they believe about the world should use that as an indicator that their thinking and understanding of the world is becoming out of touch with reality. We're all witnessing this...
Is the group more important than the individual?
I'm curious about how that might impact your instincts on the pandemic. How does that shape your thinking?
So four poll options each split into two concepts:
The group is at least a little more important than individuals: it's time to...

It just went off! I din no it was lowdead.
Kirk, did I do it right?
I'm kinda disappointed that they kinda went WOKE. It wasn't unbearably woke, but c'mon. Venezuela isn't socialist, it's a far right dictatorship in that world. And the "people's choice" is the SJW. They just had to make the premise a woke fantasy.
But, the eye rolling bull**** aside, it was...
It's not really an either/or question. Mostly generally a Republic is a form of government where sovereignty is public, not private, as in a Monarchy. Republic literally translates to "public thing".
It is not incorrect to refer to the USA as a democracy, because the representatives and...
How racist is America?
I’ll tell you.
America is SOOOOOOO racist, the KKK held a rally in Ohio and only 9 people showed up.
9 People Showed Up for the KKK Rally in Dayton, Ohio. 600 Protestors Did, Too | Time
You’d think that the media reporting would be like, “hey, America. Good news...
This is a reply to a discussion about individualism from the Mueller thread. If we're going to talk about it, it's really too OT to discuss there.
No, that's not really true. I think you're confusing some things. The system I have faith in has nothing to do with group identity or not group...
