- Comment on do you remember a time when societies were so polarized and shifted so much to the right like today? How long did it last? 1 week ago:
I tend to doubt it’s as different as you think. IMHO, the majority of people want good, but are clueless as to what exactly that looks like when it comes to more complex topics like managing the wide variety of people that make up a society. Understanding that usually requires a LOT more time and effort into reasoning things out than they’re willing/able to put in, anyway.
They therefore pick someone to trust who seems (read: cons them into believing) like they know “the truth” to do all their thinking for them. Those arrogant enough to portray themselves as such are almost always malignant personality types interested primarily in manipulating others to do their bidding in order to benefit themselves. They “know” everything, and either are exceedingly unlikely to admit to human failings such as not knowing something, or always have a ready excuse that puts blame upon their enemies for their failings.
They divide people up & pit them against one another to distract, ensure loyalty, and keep control.
Any of this sound familiar? It’s a pattern repeated among humans throughout history.

Evil always gets ahead because it’s willing to do anything to “win.” Good? Not so much.
The only reason Good gets control every so often is because Evil is too focused on “winning” & ultimately inadvertently destroys its own foundations in order to do so. Once it figures out how to avoid that, we’re really screwed.
The closest example of that I can think of is China’s current leader. I’ll grant many will somewhat rightly claim he’s done a lot of good over there, but he’s definitely accomplished a fair bit of it through some significant evils.

The pilot light for our hot water heater went out once, and as I headed to go re-light it my spouse realized I’d forgotten to grab a lighter, and so asked “what are you going to light it with?”
Ever the wiseass, I shot back “with my fiery pecker!”
Dunno why looking at this made me think of that, but I thought I’d share.

Put it back in the box, and return it to the store. Tell customer service it came like that if you’re in need of some amusement.

It was freshly made, so they couldn’t help but take a whiff of that delicious smell. The rest is history.

As long as it doesn’t come in contact with the chicken, that’s fine by me.

Because it’s about that can’t be proven wing to an audience that had been raised to believe in a big Sky Daddy of some variety or another. IMHO, raising children to believe in whatever religion predisposes them to believe all sorts of groundless bullshit told to them by their leaders, which is why those prone to controlling others like to push religion so hard.

This shit is enough to make me wonder if preventing the USA from splitting up in the Civil War was really a net positive…

Well, they’re not Republican or they’d have used Newt Gingrich for the first one, and the little girl from the Aliens movie in the second.

Like I said, whatever it is you need to tell yourself.
Like most all arguments with you disingenuous Reich-whiners, this BS has become repetitively circular and therefore pointless. You’re not making any valid points, but instead just repeating the same already disproven BS again and again in hopes that if you say it enough other people will begin to believe it’s true from having heard it repeatedly. Intelligent people such as myself know better, so I’m done bothering with you.
Consider yourself blocked. Good night.

See my other reply. The talking to yourself is a sign that you should seek help, too.

Nazi was not used as an anti-Jewish term - you decided to take it that way, making you the racist. Nazis were about more than just anti-semitism.
RE the racism bullshit claim, I have you the truth on that. That you refuse to acknowledge that your support of shitty humans is the real problem here doesn’t change the truth, and is typical of those who act like you. Lame attempts to deflect blame are still lame.

AKA just an atheist. You can try to justify your crap all you want. Regardless of whether that’s a valid definition (every country would have it’s own race by that logic, since they primarily breed with their fellow countrymen), I couldn’t care less about race. You’re a POS for feeling empathy for other POS people.
If you sleep with the dogs, you wake up with fleas.
- Comment on Charlie Kirk in his own words. 2 weeks ago:
If that’s what you need to tell yourself to get through the day without having to face yourself in the mirror. It’s actually kinda amusing because you’re the one who played the “Jewish” card first, and “Jewish” is a faith/religion, not a race.
But you go ahead and keep on playing yourself.

Nothing to do with race, everything to do with your empathy for pieces of shit humans.

I’m glad you recognize what you’ve become part of. It’s a step in the Reich direction.

No need, you’re doing it for them. Wish I could be a fly on the wall at the inevitable moment your hypocritical “perspectives” come back to bite you in the ass something fierce. I’m quite certain it will be about as amusing as when it happened to Kirk.

Hardest challenge is life under an irredeemably irrational government that’s becoming ever more unstable by the day, along with their supporters who are far too emotionally invested to ever look at themselves honestly enough to admit they were wrong.

Yeah, give a date you’ll remember that isn’t related to anything personal to you and yours. Something like April Fools, May the Fourth be with you, etc.
