Seriously, I am going to delete all TDS because it is thinly disguised incitement to murder.
It's not funny anymore. The left is literally murdering people because of TDS.

These are not "isolated" incidents. They follow directly from pervasive leftist hate in the media and in academia.
It is preparation for genocide.

Wow this is insane. Quickly googled and not too much in the media about it (mostly smaller unknown new sites). Have to give credit to buzzfeednews which actually reported on it.

Bond of $1M after the guy fucking admitted he was guilty? WTF is up with our criminal justice system? Dude likely doesn't have $100k to get out driving his dad's 2004 truck, but fuck that, he shouldn't even have the option to get out. No bond. Period.

Yelling "WHITE PEOPLE ARE EVIL" is unrelated to the deliberate murders of white people? No sane person thinks they are disconnected.
Nope, it's direct, causal, and deliberate incitement to murder.
BLM is a terrorist organization incorporated in Delaware, funded by Thousand Eyes, which has a huge endowment of unexplained origin.
Murder white people out of racist hatred.
We already have a Democrat authoritarian government which enforces laws in an utterly one-sided way, where to say "White lives matter" is racism, but "Black lives matter" is not.
All that is missing is the false-flag operation analogous to the burning of the Reichstag and Democrats will use this as an excuse to begin the mass executions of white people. Ironically by self-hating white people.

BLM doesn’t believe what you want them to believe Marcus. It’s funny that you have to create an alternate belief structure for them in order to justify your continued support.

You could tell that the cop who had a knee on his neck was weary. He had already been fighting this thug who had been resisting a felony arrest and was using standard operating procedure to restrain him. Had he lifted his knee Floyd probably would have run or attacked. Floyd was a violent thug under the influence of illegal drugs. He was infected with Covid-19 and had comorbidities. To charge the cop with murder was ridiculous. Expect another round of chaos when the jury returns a verdict of not guilty.
Floyd had a big rap sheet including armed robbery and was high on many drugs and aggressive and tried to pay with counterfeit money

I think the newest format here, with @marcus and some others being moderated, will change the site to an echo chamber, at which point posting here will become a boring "preaching to crowd". Not that it is much of my business, but I liked the previous policy "talk about everything but do not offend other users" better.

I disagree. I used to be of your thinking, but no longer. I have a number of disagreements with many of the posters, in particular Wookie Man and 10 lb bass but they pale in importance to the garbage and gaslighting being spewed by the left. So I choose to address the dangerous crap the left is doing.
And in particular I think George Bush was acting on the best intel he had at the time post 9/11. I have to study up some more...there’s a few books I’ve had on the back burner....but I’m guessing that alone could be an epic thread. Once I’m read up on everything...I have no problem taking on the entire site.

The left has descended from cancellations to firings to beatings of people for wearing a red hat, then riots, looting, and now into outright murder.
I'm done with leftists who are so filled with hate for Trump that they will literally murder those who dare to have a differing opinion.
Prediction: leftist murders of anyone who disagrees with them is just ramping up. They will kill, and kill, and kill again.

Authoritarian Governments come about when a segment of society is scapegoated for all problems, and when what people do TODAY is excused without punishment, but what some people of some group did 200 years ago is used to justify discriminating against people who didn't do anything wrong TODAY.
And the Media feeds it.

This is no exaggeration.
Genocides run in this sequence:
- dehumanization (done, white people are the devil according to academia and the media)
- firings from jobs (done, James Damore was just one of many thousands)
- legalized discrimination (in progress, CA bill to allow overt discrimination by race)
- expropriation of assets (in progress, CA bill to forcibly take money from white people and give it to black people under the name of "reparations" for dead people no one is even related to around here)
- mass murder (coming soon! white people are only 36% of California and falling fast)
The only happy thought is that the stupid white liberals who supported this incipient genocide will also die.

What did I do ;)
I've disagreed with every single user here, including Patrick at one point or another. There's been a handful of times I legit get pissy and probably cross the line. I'd never make an attempt to shut someone else down besides getting a bit personal with I think 2-3 users in the past that pushed the right buttons. I'll just keep pointing out flaws and say they're wrong. Then step away from the computer and eat some good food, go for a swim, mow the lawn, etc. and move on with my day.
One of the biggest issues I have is when I know of personal information from a source I don't want to dox and someone says it's a lie. There's no motivation for me to lie. I just wouldn't post on the topic. Plain and simple. I'm going to tell you that you're wrong and I have legitimate information. Just because I'm not willing to risk peoples jobs and personal information on this site, doesn't make some of my comments untrue.

FWIW I don’t really think you should sensor or moderate left leaning points of view or really any points of view that are within the rules of your site.
However I do believe we should relentlessly ridicule those who continuously cite opinion pieces with little intelligent commentary to accompany it. It’s not every posters job to break down bullshit written by full time paid writers. Posters ought not be so lazy.
And it also doesn’t mean I don’t think poorly of left leaning posters who take ludicrous positions in defense of Democrat politicians.

Yes, they definitely want to eliminate traditional hetero families. From the BLM website:
We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable.
We foster a queer‐affirming network. When we gather, we do so with the intention of freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking, or rather, the belief that all in the world are heterosexual (unless s/he or they disclose otherwise).

This idea that being gay or trans should be celebrated and accepted by everyone is bull shit. You do you and I'll do me. I have plenty of conversations and the last thing on my mind is if you're gay. So don't tell me your gay or blatantly show your gayness. Do that in your own place just like I do my own things in private.
The other layer is that all these people are not the same either. My wife works with two men that became women. They're now lesbians together. No joke. Both engineers, smart people. Everyone knows, but they don't push their lifestyle at all. Never. They just want to feel normal and for them, switching genders was it. Cool. I don't care. When you announce that you used to be a man every time you enter a room or expect different treatment, go fuck yourself. These two "ladies" do it right and aren't seeking attention.

The apartments I've been in, in Chicago with these kids that look like deer in headlights. It's honestly sad as can be. I've had multiple incidences where I've had to call police it was so bad.
It's education to an extent, but mostly pure laziness and not having a family structure. No dad. Mom is high as a kite and fucking some gangbanger with 5 kids in the other room while she didn't get them off to school. They get government child support when these guys ultimately go to prison. The incentive from their own culture and then the government is for black men to go to jail. That's literally their job to provide for the kids. Get busted so baby mama can get a check and they can stop by once they're out and bang her. This is black life. This is what matters to them.

The men don't care and the women will put their asses in jail to get checks if they can. Pure toxicity and most people have zero clue.
Edit: She did this to get a child support check. Fathers on the birth certificate, when imprisoned, the government will pay the mother for child support. Wanted to clear that up.

Hispanics are interesting. Mostly Spanish on the paternal side, and mostly American Indian on the maternal side. Y chromosome and mitochondrial studies showed this. Half white, you might say.
One theory is that this happened because the native women had more surviving children with Spanish men, both because the Spanish men had better immunity to smallpox and other kinds of diseases, and because they simply had more power and money to protect her children.
Hispanics are white or not? They hate a certain non-white race much more than anyone else

Not that any of you would watch it. It's 2 hours long. These people are all very thoughtful and reasonable, and concerned about the very real problems presented by so called anti-racists.
@ Patrick. My hatred of Trump was never incitement of violence, and I know that you know that, and hopefully you are at least a little ashamed of yourself. Hahaha. As if. Hey, when in rome, do as the romans do, amiright ?
In any case, back at you Patrick.

"Remarkable intellectuals" in the first 30 seconds.
"Don't feel comfortable asserting my own race" Huh?
He's white, they're black. Who cares? This is 2:30 into it. Not saying don't watch it, but regardless of what they end up talking about, these types are the problem. If you think what they're saying in the presence of a white man, on a video that will be public is what they say in a classroom or private it explains a lot.
I may finish it up later, but the "intellectuals" already sound like idiots by the 6:30 mark. Seemed like it was going to be a contest to see who could use the biggest and never used words to "prove" intellectual superiority. That's academia for you. Not actually about doing anything, just talking in circles.

I disagree.
Hate is hate.
Hate incites violence.
Hate for Trump is just a proxy for racial hatred for all white people, dividing the country. You can disagree, dislike him personally, want different policies, but hate? No, it's wrong.

I was a liberal arts major at first and it was very depressing how no one would agree on anything, all constantly trying to stomp each other because of ego, and no one with any clear job path.
Then I switched to engineering and it was incredible. If you didn't agree, one of you would be proven wrong, using math, or a compiler. And everyone in engineering knew they were going to get a job at a good salary, and they did.

It's because it's all words. I was history major which you'd think would be benign with little disagreement. I can't remember the specific example but literally had overlapping courses with regards to timeline in history and each professor presented a completely different version. This was American history.
Political Science minor and boy was that a shit show. As I've mentioned in the past, LGBT on campus office was in that wing of the building. Fancy that.
I've got two boys and I'm probably going to push them to go the trades route with come CC courses on business. Or a STEM field. They'd have a leg up with engineering due to my wife's work. I just don't want them going near the bull shit minimum requirements/courses at a university that do nothing towards getting an engineering degree. Basically the indoctrination courses.

Finally got my wife to get on board with the trades first. Something like Rin's plan: GED at 16, Trade for a year or two, then college later.
Zen & Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: Learn to love fixing the motor, then think about physics or mechanical engineering.

This should be standard, unless you're totally on fire for some specific degree.
Most students just kinda fuck around in college, wasting time and money until they hit on something they like. I was like that until I got into programming. Even then, the degree was not all that important. Lots of programmers don't have a degree these days.
And the last year or two of high school is also a waste unless you're really into it.
Finally, it's super-useful for everyone to have a basic trade they can fall back on. Construction, plumbing, electric, whatever.

Exactly. Even if your destination is college, why not pick up a trade first, esp. if you're going the low/no debt route.
Great job that nobody thinks about: Locksmith. Always in demand, stupid easy to set up a business (you don't need a storefront or even a place of business to do lockouts, you can run it from your van or truck). How many older guys with kids wish they had a dependable young dude willing to work nights M-Th/F and be on call? Entrance requirements are minimal, it's mostly learn on the job. In FL there are no statewide requirements, and in Miami-Dade which is usually the toughest for requirements, it's having $25k general biz insurance, no felony convictions in the past 5-10 years, and one year's experience. Other counties are less.

That's the thing. I'd try to get them to find a niche trade. You brought up motorcycle engines and maintenance. Get your basic learning done, but jump into one type. Aircraft for example. Since most flight schools have Cessna's 152/172 or whatever model, learn that engine. Learn the plane and you could probably get a job in a ton of places given they're also popular to own. Factor in annuals, overhauls and maintenance and airplane mechanics will always be in need for that specific type.

Patrick has proven a saying that is as old as AOL/Prodigy groups in the 90s, maybe back to BBS's of the 80s:
The moment a forum/chat/board has no rule except banning Personal Attacks, the length of a Lefty account is shortened to months.

Patrick.net is an online forum, a bit like Twitter or Reddit, but with much more freedom of speech than either of those. Almost anything goes, but a few things don't, such as deliberately personally insulting another user, or deliberately misrepresenting what another user said.
I got the patrick.net domain name back in 1995 when I was one day too late for patrick.com. Missing the .com name turned out to be fine. I prefer the .net name now because life is all about human networks. This site was just my personal blog from 1995 to 2004.
In 2004 I started writing about the housing bubble, which catapulted the site to national fame for a while. I was interviewed on NPR, on Nightline on TV, and in other corporate media that I have since learned to recognize as poison. Here are my original the articles about the housing bubble (the dates on them are much later because I updated them):
https://patrick.net/post/1282720/2015-07-11-ten-reasons-it-s-a-terrible-time-to
https://patrick.net/post/1282721/2015-07-11-eight-groups-who-lie-about-the-housing
https://patrick.net/post/1282722/2015-07-11-37-bogus-arguments-about-housing
The big housing bubble popped in 2008, and traffic fell, since it was no longer controversial to assert that we really had had a housing bubble.
About then, I decided to just let the public discuss other topics with each other and wrote my own forum software. I'm a programmer, so that was fun. At first I was kind of disturbed at the number of conservatives on the site, but as I discussed things with them and saw San Francisco literally turn to shit under far-left Democrat extremists, I changed my thinking.
And yet I didn't change my thinking all that much, because once again, I'm opposing corruption of government by the oligarchy. Before, my enemy was the NAR (National Association of Realtors) and I still think the NAR is nothing but institutionalized crime, but there are bigger fish to fry now, especially since the worldwide campaign to inject every human with a dangerous and ineffective genetic experiment, which was never approved by the FDA. (They approved "Comirnaty", which is not available, to deceive the public.)

I could go on, but you'll get the idea by reading the site.
I have a platform of ideas for improving America: https://patrick.net/post/1303173/2017-02-19-patrick-s-platform
And an explanation for how we got to this point.
Site Rules
1. Do not deliberately insult the other users personally.
2. Do not deliberately insult the site. It's free to use and does not even have ads.
3. Do not misquote people.
4. Do not post porn except in the tits thread. No actual sex and no homo porn please.
5. If you feel you must post racist or anti-semitic jokes, please put them in the political incorrectness thread.
6. Do not post illegal content, unless the US law making the content illegal is itself clearly unconstitutional. In that case, please do post it!
7. Do not threaten another user with violence or you will be quickly and permanently banned.
8. Do not post spam.
9. Do not promote the obviously ineffective and very dangerous toxxine. Millions have died from it, far more than from the virus.
If you're wondering why your comment was flagged, please click the "edit" link on it. It should be pretty obvious when you read your own words again. If you think there was a mistake about the content being flagged, please write p@patrick.net When you edit and save your own flagged comment, it will go back into moderation where it will get reviewed by a moderator again.
If you're suspicious that comments are flagged for political reasons, note that you can actually see any flagged comment in the html source of that page. Use "View Source" in your browser. Yes, it's inconvenient, but that's deliberate, to keep those comments out of the conversation stream.
Please use this effective debate technique:
1. State your opponent's position so that he agrees with it 100%. This is so that you argue against what your opponent is really saying.
2. State points of agreement, and anything you learned from your opponent.
3. Give your reasoning for why your opponent is mistaken.
4. Make it clear that you are attacking only the point and not the person.
Site Functionality
If you ignore another user, you will not see that user's threads or comments. To see whom you're ignoring and to unignore, look on your edit profile page.
To get another user's attention, mention that user in a comment with an @ character prepended to his username ( for example @Patrick ) and then he will get an email of that comment, unless he has emails turned off.
If you type or paste in an image URL ending in .jpg, .png, or .gif it will be converted into the visible image in a thread or comment. You can also upload images, mp3 audio, mp4 video, and pdfs (under 10MB) from your local computer.
You may not post large sections of copyrighted material unless you have explicit permission from the copyright owner. But excerpts for discussion are fine, and in fact protected by law.
If you include an embed video url from Rumble, Bitchute, Vimeo, NewTube, or BrandNewTube, the thread or comment will display the video. Please try to avoid YouTube urls, since YouTube routinely censors or demonetizes politically incorrect videos, such as those about the dangers of the toxxine.
These basic html tags all work in threads and comments: a audio b blockquote br code del font hr i iframe img li ol p strike sub sup u ul video vsmall
You can surround a word or phrase with the * character to make it bold, or the _ character to make it italic, or surround a word with - to
strikeit, or you can just use the b or the i or the strike html tag.Searching
Prepend + to require a word or - to exclude it: +Tunnel -Sky
Search for phrases by putting them in quotes: "Tunnel in the Sky"
Search for the beginning of a word by appending the star character: Tunne*
Shortcuts
^t will jump to the text input box at the bottom of a thread
^s will jump to the search box at the top of each page
^f will open your file select menu to let you select an image or pdf to insert in the text box
If you click "pin" at the top of a thread, it will get saved to your pinned list. For example, here is patrick's pinned list
There is a thread for each zip code in the US. You can have local discussions there about anything, or you can post things for sale, etc. To find the thread for a zip code, just do a search for the town name or zip code.
I also have a list of all US Congressmen as separate threads, where you are encouraged to comment on how good of a job you think they're doing:
