Any update on the WW3 kickoff party?

At this point if nothing happens I am just going to laugh my butt off. All these annoying leaders of nations acting like a bunch of middle school boys without balls.
 
I don't know what part of the state you're in or what school you teach at, but these things are more prevalent in some schools than others. out in Spencer County where I live, no it's not very prevalent. because they likely know there would be a tremendous backlash in a community that's about 70% red. In Louisville though? there was a TikTok video posted on here at one point of a Louisville teacher (not sure which school) proudly displaying all of her BLM, Pride flags, and other activist type stuff displayed all over her classroom, then walked around to other classrooms to show similar type stuff being displayed in those rooms throughout the school. So at least in that particular school it was VERY prevalent. I also know that my wife's cousin who is in her second year of teaching, is also solidly all in on the "woke" bandwagon, so yeah location matters in regards to much of this. And with it mostly being in the bigger cities, it's only perpetuating the problems those communities have.
Absolutely. The far left stuff you hear about teachers on right wing media every day are taken from extreme examples that occur in some large cities. They are outliers compared to what is going on across the vast majority of schools all across the country every day. I've had my own family members ask me about why we've stopped saying the Pledge, don't allow God to be mentioned, teach CRT, etc. NONE of that is going on in the schools in Ky I've taught in.
But if you listen to the right wing news propaganda.... They don't say that. They paint all teachers as radical far left commies who are trying to indoctrinate our nation's children.
Like I said....it's the same playbook the far left uses against the police. Painting every instance of police misconduct as all cops are racist and abusive to black people.
Both parties use the false narratives to get votes.
The left needs the minority vote in the cities....the right needs the rural and suburban vote. Anger and scare black people into thinking cops are all out to kill them. Anger and scare all the white people into thinking the teachers are coming for their children.
It's all BS.

I do personally know several families that had loved ones unexpectedly deployed this week or last. Hopefully they don't have to fight or die because of some proxy war that's nothing more than an attempt to show Biden as tough on Russia
 


Being shot at makes this guy suddenly sound pretty conservative. Guess seeing first hand what liberal insanity does might change one's mind.

Personally of all the candidates running I think he's about the best that city can hope for. Ya he'll still do much of the crazy stuff but it sure sounds like he will try to stop crime and be pro business.

kinda sucks when the causes you championed come back to bite you in the ass.
 
I know that was said in jest, but not really, because I'm not denying the right of others to read what you have to say. It's akin to me changing the channel when I don't like what I'm watching.
Just think of it as watching JackAss on MTV. You gotta get sucked in for at least the first commercial.

Mr Brown and his family are hurting.

Dude is out of jail after an unsuccessful assassination.

More social workers, therapists, diversity and inclusion is your future.

Mr Brown should not hurt.


@Dionysus444 wouldn't that be considered something a fascist would do? Since when can the government tell me who or what cause I can and cannot donate to as a private citizen?

 

I remember months ago posting in the Bitcoin thread about regulations coming. People said it wasn't possible or would never happen. Yet here we are.

Anyone who's ever dealt with the IRS, doj, etc knows they would never let stuff like this go for long.

Just a pure guess, but I suspect the us was behind most of the crypto copycats, trying to destroy crypto. Guess they gave up on those efforts

All totalitarianism isn’t fascism, which perversely y’all argue both sides of when it suits your purposes, but regardless of what side of the political spectrum you want to assign it to it’s bull. I was one of the first to post condemning it when he first announced it. Freezing assets unilaterally without a court order would never fly here, rightfully so. They’re protesting perceived government overreach, slamming them with more of it isn’t a good look. Even if it is cathartic.

Once they reach the point of harming millions of people, which is what is happening with factory shutdowns and what not, I'd crush them under my boot. Their personal beliefs don't give them the right to cause so much damage. They need to find another way.
 
You don't have to agree with facts. The US has dozens of "socialist" programs that have been running for many decades & some hundreds of years. Sweden is always labeled as one the most socialist developed countries and has managed to avoid communism for 700 years. Capitalism has to be kept in check because humans(especially Americans) are to greedy to do what is good for the long term health of their country.

Is the government lousy at running the military? police? building massive highway systems,? spying on everyone? They used to be good at giant infrastructure projects, education, power grid, & other things. But now we have let everything become political so every program has to be flip flopped every few years to make the new party in power happy.

I always figured that the .gov was letting these digital and alt coins exist so that they could build a fully working infrastructure for .gov to confiscate and use when they deemed the time was right.

I also wondered if bitcoin wasn't an alphabet agency creation all along. The major stakeholder of bitcoin has never come forward that I know of.

Of course you would. Because the right’s never been supportive of worker movements or rights. The white working class is just so bigoted they’re willing to side with the boot on their neck rather than a coalition that includes gays and brown people.

Anything is possible but I doubt it. They'd never create anything they couldn't control imo

I'm mixed on this. Saw a guy the other day urging the Truckers not to go to DC, that it puts them in a position to be set up by the Feds and media. They all show up, then suddenly we have a bunch of plants stirring up and instigating news narratives, lots of "white supremacist/Nazi" symbols. Bunch of Confederate flags with the the creases still in them, they'll try to make it Jan. 6th all over again. His message was protest another way. Park your trucks. Park them where you're at. either way, commerce stops, and the message gets sent, but without the media created circus.

What are you babbling about? What do gays and "brown" people have to do with anything? What exactly is a "brown" person? I have fairly dark skin due to quite a bit of Cherokee blood, are you trying to claim I hate myself? Try this, stop using racism and homophobia as a crutch, it's ruining your brain. Most things in life have nothing to do with either.

As for worker movements, yes, I abhor unions. It's legalized extortion, nothing more. As for this particular situation, again, once their actions are harming millions of other people, any defense of them falls flat.

I watched these back to back. The "science" guy seemed really shady. He accused Koonin of things and then would make a similar argument on his side. It was almost like "I object your honor"... "why?" "because the facts are horrible for my case".

He complained that Koonin relied on humans to figure it out, and then when challenged on if there is enough rare earth metals, to provide batteries, to switch totally off internal combustion engines he said... "thats what engineers do. they figure out ways to solve problems".

He also said he believed in the free market but didn't seem to allow for government subsidies and taxes making his comparisons laughable. Tesla didn't pay taxes for a decade.
