Prepping is a fad popularized by the zombie movie wave of the 2000s.

99% of “societal collapse” scenarios are going to be like 1946 Germany or 1989 Soviet Union, not 28days later. And in the 1% scenarios, people who care about their loved ones should keep euthanasia supplies, not food and guns.

The last time the global hegemony passed from one country to another it took 2 world wars to sort out. Careful what you wish for.

Every time I meet someone who opposes illegal immigration but claims to support legal immigration I ask one question. If the law changed so that all immigration was legal, you’d be fine with it, right?

Nobody so far has been fine with it. I conclude that the question of legality is a dodge for people who are embarrassed about their actual motives.

Trump isn’t an aberration. He’s the most American president ever. And don’t get too pleased with yourself Europe. Y’all have plenty of voters who prefer fascism over brown neighbors too.

They’re not surrendering. They’re doing what they always do… what Milton Freedman and the United States courts have made mandatory, putting profitability ahead of all concerns.

Frankly, for centrists like Harris and Newsom to imagine that elites would be patriots is why neoliberal mythology needs to be destroyed. Liberty doesn’t trickle down either.

If you can smell the salt, you might be using too much.

But my feet hurt.

Journalism and activism work.

The blessed in the heavenly kingdom will see the torment of the dammed so that they may even more thoroughly enjoy their blessedness.

-Thomas Aquinas proving that even way back in the 13th Century that Christianity love and mercy are coded hate and revenge.

If we don’t sacrifice children (and podcasters) to the god of guns then he won’t protect us from violence and tyranny.

the threat he posed to humanity was incalculable.

This is where people who argue your point loose me. He was a podcaster, why do you have to inflate and exaggerate his importance? And who exactly is better off or safer now that he’s gone?

Lastly, who should get hit next? Ted Nugent? The Pillow guy?

Palingenetic means rebirth or renewal. The Italian fascists claimed that they would return to the glory of Rome. Hitler’s “Third Reich” implies a return to the first two great periods of German history under Frederick the Great and Bismark.

So fascists are ultranationalists who promise a return to greatness. This definition is unsatisfying because while these characteristics are universal to fascists, they’re not sufficient to describe any particular version of fascism.

1832 called and wants to remind you of Worcester v. Georgia. https://www.britannica.com/topic/Worcester-v-Georgia

You’re not going to convince me to change my whole view on pigs just because of the isolated actions of a few good apples.

And BTW, for every 100 serious sexual assaults reported to the police, 3 people will go to jail. And the clearance rate for murder is ~50% nationwide. So forgive me if I don’t feel safe and secure under the protection of pigs.

Dupree provided no details on how the man died

We know that the circumstances must be unambiguously evil, for them to charge a pig out of the gate.

If that gun shot Pringles it’s friendly fire problem would go away and it’s chances of killing a tank wouldn’t be reduced by much at all.

one of our most influential enem[ies]

Reactionaries have been working overtime to exaggerate and inflate Kirk’s importance and influence. It’s weird so many on the left are helping them with that project.

The title claims that the purpose of the 2A was for slavers. But the actual argument is that the 2A was changed to appease slavers. Doesn’t that imply that the 2A preexisted the slaver’s concern and may have had other purposes?

I’m skeptical because there has been a revisionist movement that argues the whole war of independence was to preserve slavery, an argument that is not compelling. I’m also suspicious of an editorial, written like a history, with no citations.

Lastly, arguing over the intentions of the framers is a reactionary game. The problem with the 2A is not what it was intended to do in the 18th Century, but what it’s actually doing in the 21st.

You can’t be an atheist without calling out religions for the hate, war, and genocide that they cause.

Yes you can! Atheism is not an ideology. You’re talking about anti-theists and plenty of us non-believers don’t wanna be associated with those people.

When it comes to Carlson, Owens, and Brannon, opposition to Israel is antisemitism. They don’t give a shit about Palestinians, they’re worried about space lasers and replacement theory.
