POLITICAL THREAD

[bertfan31]

Why does that matter? Are you implying ethnic diversity restricts upward mobility? I thought America was supposedly a unique bastion of mobility and opportunity?

You're the one that posted the chart. Here is a reality check on modern day Denmark...

The Danish government frames non-Western immigrants and multiculturalism as a threat to the “social wages” that Danes enjoy, justifying differential access to socio-economic and political benefits and privileges. Multiracial ethnic-Danes also report feeling alienated from a common collective due to the negative public discourse about non-Western immigrants. The Danish mainstream media and public discourse on immigration suggest that non-Western immigrants and their descendants are significantly different from ethnic-Danes. Populist rhetoric frames immigrant descendants as costly for the welfare system, unwilling to integrate, and a threat to the integrity of the ethnic-Danish identity.

Don't forget when you post propaganda, just how easy is to look up the truth. Be more subtle next time. Make it more fun. Number 1 on your list is Denmark. Try getting a job there if you're an illegal Mexican.

Denmark is an homogenous country of about 6 million people. The reason they have what they have is because they have not tried to fix what wasn't broken, and they resisted attempts to break it.

The US doesn't have the oil reserves to sustain hyper production. If we had spent the last 50 years not importing oil we would be dried out. All the oil is in south America and the middle east. Everything left in north America is really ****ing expensive to get to and also destroys the land and poison the water table. The only viable solution for the US is a shitload of nuclear and electric cars. 70% of our oil use is transportation. Cut that in half and oil isn't an issue anymore.

Man, the crap you guys force down our throats.





Get outta here.

I do find it amusing that the lefties are citing a plaintiffs motion for summary judgement as undisputed fact and evidence that a defendant was being misleading or manipulative.

Do you have no idea how lawsuits work?

That same trial Fox’s lawyers have introduced multiple emails between Dominion staff detailing how easily hacked their machines were and all the bugs the system had. But “Fact Checker” doesn’t want to talk about that.

1). BLM Fist, gay pride flag, black national
Anthem, DEI pledges. To start with off the top of my head.

2). The US today is softer on crime than ever and if you can name any victims of right wing political persecution, feel free. But when it comes to “looking the other way”, that’s you. There’s no other way you could pretend that 4% of people aren’t committing 50% of violent crime.

3). Are you shitting me with this? Your entire premise is that Republicans are fascists. So you post this point that 100% says that this kind of stereotypical thinking is emblematic of fascism. Did you even read these before posting?

4). We glamorize soldiers, yes. They have more value than nearly anybody else in society for what should be an obvious reason.

5). Abortion is murder. Your list is wrong. See how this works? As for anti-gay laws, be specific. Idiotic arguments about cakes and pro-nouns aren’t anti- anything, except lunacy.

6). Again, you must not have read this before posting. Laughable.

7). Imagine being obsessed with security? If this is a sign of fascism, every nation with a military meets your definition. Again, laughable.

8). Guilty!

9.) Again, you must be 10 years old if you think corporate power in this country is arrayed on the right wing.

10.) Tell me this list was made by communists without saying it. Lol. Did labor unions invade Normandy? Did the AFL-CIO? The men who did that were who you now call white supremacist/fascists. Or has that dawned on you?

11.) This only became true when our intellectuals became idiots who are too afraid to define “woman”. The fact that this happened is the fault of the left. Prove me wrong. Our universities were always points of pride until identity politics was birthed by (guess who?) the left.

12.) People are leaving blue states by the hundreds of thousands because of obsession with crime. By your definition, they’re fascists. That’s how poorly conceived this list is. It’s happening because the police have no power and everyone knows it.

13.) Hunter Biden, et al. You really didn’t read your list.

14.)

But wait. Your list left out the brown shirts (Antifa), anti-semitism (Omar, AOC, etc.), the seizure of guns, the demands for obedience and compliance, the nights of broken glass, the elimination of undesirables (selective abortions), the complete rewriting of history, the removal of God from the public square.

I can’t believe I bothered with this, since the game is on and I know none of it will sink into your head. I just can’t believe you posted all that without really thinking about who it actually describes. Edit: now that the game is over I can add this: this list you posted sounds a lot like America in probably 1955. Only a true leftist zealot believes it describes us today.

I like how on most of them you just went, 'Yeah, so what?'

After all the major screwups by the biDIM administration, not one person has been fired. Smh

"Society that ALLOWED that success to flourish". What a statement. Either you're saying the right of a person to profit from his knowledge and time is somehow now a privilege, or you're saying a society that allows success deserves access to those profits to give to people who were unsuccessful. Or unmotivated.

Einstein said it better than I could: "The abstract concept “society” means to the individual human being the sum total of his direct and indirect relations to his contemporaries and to all the people of earlier generations. The individual is able to think, feel, strive, and work by himself; but he depends so much upon society—in his physical, intellectual, and emotional existence—that it is impossible to think of him, or to understand him, outside the framework of society. It is “society” which provides man with food, clothing, a home, the tools of work, language, the forms of thought, and most of the content of thought; his life is made possible through the labor and the accomplishments of the many millions past and present who are all hidden behind the small word “society.”"

You didn't invent, mine, forge, build, and program your entire computer yourself. Everything that we accomplish in life is because of others. Society.

 

[ukalum1988]

Of course there are countries with more opportunities. Twenty six of them according to this:

I didn’t address your posit because it was absurd on its face. We’re talking about the future and what comes next. American capitalism in 2023 is not the end-all be-all of human advancement and it’s unfathomably arrogant and silly to assume so.

So you are saying there is more opportunity in Austrailia???? Or Canada?? Really??? Lol. Cmon man...

The graphic Dion quoted was produced by the WEF. That goes a long way in explaining the results of this “survey”.

There is no doubt Fetterman's wife was the one pushing him to run. He was clueless. What his wife did is cruel and should be seen as spousal abuse. The poor man was half vegetable. But Pennsylvania voted for him by a large margin and are stuck with a mentally challenged clump of cells.

The same with Joe Biden. Jill Biden is runing the show. She enjoys power and the spotlight that being "First Lady" brings. Joe doesn't have the brains of a goat at this point. He will do as she says and she wants to hang around D.C.

Democrat voters have proven they will vote for the devil, the mentally ill and stroke victims who can not do the job. And we all suffer.

You're such an existential thinker, why the concern over the reality of wealth? Isn't a tacky concept like money, beneath you?

And here we have the naked proposition of the right: brown people bad. 'If we were just more racist it would fix all our problems!' Have fun with that. I disagree.

Material reality is the most interesting topic because it's all there is. We all have to live on this spinning ball of rock together. Why not improve it for all of us? Discussing money isn't tacky. The people who fed you that were trying to control for their gain.

 

[bertfan31]

Sorry, I have a hard time believing this to be true. Not impossible but seems extraordinarily difficult to conceal 4 people getting shot dead.

I've got doubts about that as well. I did see video of the train with the fire prior to the derailment. I don't know the distance between the two.

 

[bertfan31]

You put out the proposition that Denmark led the world in equity and opportunity. I merely posted evidence to the contrary. You are now going to your last resort of race card. They do not allow open borders, it seems to be working for them. Them.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

What is going on? Why do U.S. taxpayers have to contribute to Ukrainians pensions? It is time to pull the plug on all of this.

Their economic opportunity works for any ethnicity. Claiming their success is due to their racial purity and not their public policy is pure racist sensationalist trash.

This makes me sad. Not everything is a Dem or Rep conspiracy. When a chicken catches the avian flu all of the chickens are culled.

Secondly, this is happening all over the world. Britain, Japan, France, etc.

Bird flu spreads to new countries, threatens non-stop 'war' on poultry

Veterinarians and disease experts warn it is now a year-round problem.

www.reuters.com

Blah blah blah.

So if avian flu is to blame for high cost of eggs, (x4) then wouldn't chicken meat also be 4x as expensive?

Not buying it.

 

[Caveman Catfan]

Yes. You can’t take it with you when you die. And what wonderful amounts of wealth they’ve created. The majority of America lives paycheck to paycheck.

Americans live well by the world’s standard. Complaining about this country is truly a first world commie problem.

 

[trueblujr2]

Why does that matter? Are you implying ethnic diversity restricts upward mobility? I thought America was supposedly a unique bastion of mobility and opportunity?

The whole conversation started as a discussion about how there are more opportunities here for ALL Americans, regardless of their race, gender, sexual orientation etc. you can’t name one country where blacks, Hispanics, Asians LGBTQRSTUV…etc. than ANYWHERE else on the planet.

 

[Caveman Catfan]

Another list of countries that haven’t paid for their own protection for 70 years. Do tell me more though about their investments in “social mobility”.

And, Sweden is moving back to more free enterprise after seeing how it move to the commie side did not work.

[Caveman Catfan]

It isn’t about envy it’s about distribution of resources. There’s no reason for so few to have so much while so many have so little. In fact it has warping, deleterious effects on our society. Y’all complain about Bill Gates and the ‘elites’ daily, but somehow don’t connect the issues. If Bill Gates didn’t have a hundred billion dollars neither you nor anyone else would have to care about what he thinks because he wouldn’t be buying influence and power.

And, Bill Gates, regardless of what I think of him, created thousands of jobs for people to live well. You act as if all of that happens because of some government force or out of thin air. It is envy.

Now, if all of the billionaires in the country praised Jesus as their King, we would see awesome change without government oppression.

 

[Caveman Catfan]

What’s the point though? What are you saying they should be free to do with their money when they die? Give it to someone they know who didn’t earn it or work for it. You support them giving it to a select nepotistic few but don’t support it being given to the public at large. Why? Obviously you haven’t given the issue much real thought.

It should be reinvested in the society that allowed that success to flourish. Not hoarded by a handful of elites based on heredity like the noble houses of old.

Because we don’t steal from people. Simple answer.

 

[Caveman Catfan]

You think anyone who has a billion dollars actually works hard?

Hang with Elon for a day and realize how dumb of a statement that is. YOU think YOU would be lazy if you earned a billion. But, YOU probably don’t know.

 

[BarnabusStinson]

Only in America can a certain ethnic group have their own TV networks, colleges, holidays, & clubs while celebrating their race for a whole month. But they then label everyone else racist.

No. Economic opportunity is suppressed for "non-western" people...

Legal citizenship or immigration status does not, in practice, define the boundary around who is or isn’t Danish. In everyday interactions, it is racial phenotype and skin color that determine access to cultural citizenship and belonging.

You people always throw up Denmark as an example of the way things could be here. Why are you enamored with such a racist country?

 

[Girthang]

Parisians aren't really French... they're akin to our modern day US liberal

You know, that IS a very ACCURATE statement and makes a huge difference. He said a lot more about his tike there, but the gist of it was they couldn't wait to get out of Paris because the people were trash. Paris in WW2 is what NY would have been if the people here that funded the nazis there wouldn't have had our republican form of govt in their way here. The democratic socialists then would have rounded up people there back then just like they want to now.

Just think how much worse off we'd be if the democrats hadn't convinced the poor that they hate and scavenge from to live and breathe for killing their own children. How many million more ruined, programmed, and ignorant democrats would be running around spouting the nonsense they know doesn't work all to make themselves feel better as they sink more people into poverty and impoverished thinking.

Just a side note really, but it's Amazing the stupidity it takes to think that anyone from Africa is non-western and people from Asia are (whenever it suits them) either white, western, or non-western. Frkn hilarious.

Gotta love the racists on the left using a "racist" culture as a socialist utopia while ignoring the non-utopian socialist and "racist" cultures as if they just don't exist. They also like to ignore that the reason that huge socialist countries seem to have some of their sht together is not because NOBODY works, but because EVERYBODY works or they get culled.

Like everything else with liberals.... The only way they'll ever see the error of their ways is if it happens to them and then it's too late. They'd still be blaming conservatives for the spot they were in as another racist Democrat shoots them in the back.

Dems, they're like a grave digger digging a ten foot hole during a flash flood that refuses to take a ladder into the hole with them.
