Since we’re playing pretend, if Megatron became president, could he declare the an emergency to blow up all automobiles to find the autobots?

Jussie Smollett sent himself a threatening letter

I am sure ORANGEMANBAD made him do it. Or white privilege...or something.

Patrick, yes it is hypocrisy. The feminist movement wants to maintain their victim status such as continue to push the illusion that they are still being underpaid compared to men.
The greatest example is with the divorce and family courts cynically acting like women are the victims and we still live in the 1950's.

However, I do dismiss the notion that making white people feel bad is racist or an act of reverse racism.

Hey whatever you want to believe man. I reserve the right to tell such people to fuck off. I don’t take that kind of shit from anyone. You can’t make me feel bad about racism when I know it’s you who are the real racist.

All the other shit about inequality between ghetto dwelling blacks and suburban white folks is horse shit. Of COURSE there’s inequality! White working class people are busting their asses to afford to live where they do and send their kids to well funded schools (because higher value neighborhoods get taxed more for schools). So do black folks working and living in those neighborhoods. They also are busting their asses. My daughter’s best friend has a black dad and a Latino mom and they both work hard to afford to live in our hood. Nothing wrong with those people. RACISM ain’t holding them back!
Want something better? Work for it!

My side is right, your side is wrong.

If white people built a time machine, went back to 1619 and subjected themselves to slavery, built America into a superpower without compensation or reparation, attended inferior schools, faced double the unemployment of blacks and were killed, lynched and incarcerated disproportionately by black people, I would agree that black people were racist, even if I didn’t do anything to them personally.

If white people in Mediterranean went back to 1800, they would be hunted by Islamic slave traders and sold in slave markets. What should Italy, Spain, even Iceland etc do about this? Prohibit Islam, demand reparations?
If white people in Russia went back to 1700 or 1800, they would be 90+ % serfs. A large serf-owner in Russia was Adam Petrovich Gannibal, who was from Cameroon. What should Russians and people of Russian descent do about that? Demand reparations from Cameroon?
If white people would go back to 1000 BC, they would be captured and sold in Egypt. What should we do about that?
Another interesting question is how long should the "historical oppression" thing be valid for. At which point the whole race should not be blamed for things in the past any more (by the way, blaming the whole race is really racist by itself)? Is it 100 years? 1000 years? Should be blamed forever?

And a question related to this thread - do past transgressions and ORANGEMANBAD justify staging false hate crimes? Is staging a false hate crime a hate crime by itself perhaps, meant to foster hate against a certain group of people?

Step 1 - someone contracts TDS.
Step 2 - TDS-diseased person fakes attack by MAGA-hat wearing monsters.
Step 3 - media goes crazy because the attack proves that TRUMP is the MONSTER who wakes up hidden RACISM! of FUCKING WHITE MALES.
Step 4 - it is proven that attack is faked.
Step 5 - media pretends that nothing happened. White Males still are EVIL! and have to be stuffed into OVENS! or at least expelled from polite society so that trumpless nirvana would ensue.

All of this could be solved if Democrats would take an honest look at their own racism and sexism, and admit that they have been projecting racism and sexism as a way to not feel guilty about devastating to the US middle and lower classes through the export of their jobs and the mass import of illegals.

But it's hard for Democrats to do that. And I understand that. Who wants to admit that they themselves have been the cause of the current problems?

The election of Trump was a desperate attempt by the poor to get some representation in DC because the Democrats have utterly failed them.

And it did work. Trump is actually representing labor while the Democrats continue to undermine their own credibility by utterly ignoring the real economic issues and just playing a tape loop of RACISM! RUSSIA! at max volume over and over.

Trump himself was once a Democrat, remember. But like Reagan, he didn't leave the Democrats, they left him.

Lefts problem is they judge people from the past by today’s idiotic standards.

Every once in a while someone quotes that idiot and I remember all over again why I have him on ignore.

India 1% n Chile 13% divorce rate most western countries 50%. Though still curious on why women gave dowry when they get married in some areas of india but in western culture u pay all for women .

If u meet women below 25 , college educated in stem, and makes little less money than you then u are ok. Money / hypergamy r main causes of divorse.

Also noticed that most ppl dont get married after 35. Womens main asset, look fades a lot after 28 and at the same time mens testosterone so little need to approach a women.
I read most divorce happen at 32 as womens look fade but mens status with better job increases. If woman adjusted accordingly then it works out, but most women continue to think their pussy is magical. 1 in 3.7 billion lol

Patrick says

A 2% tax on wealth can replace a 35% tax on income.

But what about double taxation? You've worked hard, lived frugally, saved, paid income taxes, only to be taxed again?

Yeah, a wealth tax really just sticks it to retirees living off of savings. It would create a negative incentive to save at all, which would be terrible for so many facets of the economy.

Also, people would get seriously Gilets Jaunes over something like that. I know I'd fight it hard. Or take my hard-earned savings and GTFO to another land.

They broke into the country!

True!!

The TDS crowd is having a really hard time understanding the difference between "immigrants" and "ILLEGAL immigrants".

Out of 45 posts, I only see about 8. Did they all get deleted?

Marcus has you on ignore, so you don't see all his other TDS posts.

Just more of his liberal tolerance on display.

I totally disagree with this.

Of course you disagree. You're one of the regular posters screaming Russians!!! and screaming Racism!!! on a daily basis. Why are we not surprised?

jazz_music says

Oh yes, reverse racism is so much worse than racism!

"Reverse" racism is no different than racism...still racism. Unfortunately, it is treated differently in media. So one could thank media, and not Putin, for electing Trump. If media would not go off rails screaming about Fucking White Males Evil, then likely Trump would still be running his TV show.

Trumpism Is ‘Identity Politics’ for White People

This is called a reaction, Kak.

You can't possibly argue that Trump started with Identity Politics.

White Working Class people have a reason to be scared, since the Luvvies/Glitterati/VIPs from CNN to Kristol to SNL has mocked the coming destruction and replacement of the White Working Class in no uncertain terms. And then gaslighting about it when called out.

The Dems as always tipped their hand too soon.

Sure, it needs to be named after the modern American hero - Jussie Smollett.

Sandy Hook, Columbine etc. ?

TBF I think all of those were on some kind of psychotropic medications, and we do not hear about that in MSM. Perhaps Big Pharma can be blamed for these shootings, and also for buying off MSM and politicians so this information does not get out. We keep arguing if the guy wore swastika or red star on the diapers, while pharma rakes in $$$$$$$

Lets hope for all of us sake that we will not get into any civil war. I suspect people here have no idea what is it like. It is much more vicious than regular war.

I lived through disintegration of USSR (in a relatively peaceful area, very few dead) and I was in former Yugoslavia in 1991 for a few months. Believe me, you do not want to even think about that.

No-fault divorce

Was a product of and reflection of its time, just like bilingual education--neither would have happened in 1959 or 1960. Teachers of my mother's generation called things like bilingual education a crutch, which it is.

Sending a plane full of cash to Iran and call it a smart western deal made by Obama (no other European country give money)?.
Anyone who is paying a ransom is begging for another blackmail.
Europa love US as long as US is paying a bill.

I have only one advice. If your GF is controlling and always wants things done her way, or gets upset over minor things, disrespecting at times. Run as far away as you can and don't look back. DO NOT Marry Her. If you think people change with time, NO THEY DON'T.

To take a final example, attacks against so-called cultural Marxism seem to have become mainstream within academia.

Really?
You think colleges are against communism?

Did you know that Asian people are assaulted by white people at about twice the rate they are assaulted by other Asians?

It's true. Does this make Asians "racist" for being a bit nervous around white people?

Did you know that white people are assaulted by black people at about twenty times the rate they are assaulted by other white people?

It's also true. Does this make white people "racist" for being a bit nervous around black people?

This is true.

Both Pelosi and Kamala deleted their lynching tweets re: Jussie Smollett the Fake Hate Hoaxer.

They did not apologize, just deleted.

You may want to fact check that list. Abolition of slavery, national parks, interstate highway system, anti-trust laws, and some others, were done by Republicans. Women voting (19th Amendment) was especially Republican.

Not all of us can be consistently willfully ignorant and staggeringly self-righteous at the same time, but the OP has been pulling off that feat for about ten years running!

Are you a parent?

I have to date not received any subpoenas.

In the Great Socialist Paradise, one may say anything that one pleases. However, there is no guarantee that public and publicized humiliation, legal strip-mining of assets, or even a quick, summary bullet to the brain (with the bill sent to relatives) is out of the question.

One can tell when one's 'free speech' is no longer free, when the oxygen leaves the room and the LibbyFuck pod people turn in unison, stare balefully, and start shrieking and pointing (happens in Santa Cruz routinely).
