I think J.D. Vance disproves this statement.

Edit: Shit he wears eyeliner, fuck maybe I’m wrong…

Can’t wait for Peter Thiel’s good little doggy to be president. I’m sure this will smooth over neatly.

As I mention below, there’s a massive reckoning that will need to precede any second chance for conservatives. A price so steep that expecting it to be paid is functionally equivalent to believing Jesus will be reborn.

I can’t tell: are you delusional or a pedant (i.e. water isn’t wet it makes things wet pedant logic)?

Spoken like someone with exactly 0 talent.

I sure do love outrage media slowly building contempt for things that shouldn’t be in question, like women’s rights. Sure do love that.

See the little men on the moon?

Well, they’ve been illegally fishing from internationally protected zones for decades so there’s that. The U.S. also had to cancel all of its contracts with China to recycle plastic because they either dumped it in the ocean or subcontracted with other Asian countries who dumped it in the ocean. You can determine whether or not that actually violates international law if you want, I would assume it does not. You can also be the judge on whether or not that should be against international law, if it is not. Plenty to take into consideration there, like how recycling plastic just produces more microplastic.

I’m just hoping China will see how arrogance is now destroying USA’s global dominance because they are alienating their allies.

China, the country not the place, is made of human beings. I don’t have much hope that they will escape that trap.

Thank you. I thought you were but I genuinely had to correct myself and think ‘But what if they’re not joking?’.

I’m tired.

The American attacks were the protests, that’s the point you’re not understanding or refusing to acknowledge. They were not organic protests. I doubt most that participated were citizens, especially when 99% of the coverage was prewritten by NED-linked organizations.

I’ve just been reading along this thread and I think this is the part I don’t understand.

Is the idea here that the protests were Americans? I’m not sure I understand what you mean by ‘The American attacks were the protests’.

Beyond that, if we accept strictly what Iran has released about the number of protestors killed it is still an incredible amount of violence for a two day period. The fact that the Iranian regime released the same number, 3117, for number of deaths on multiple different occasions regarding these protests is odd — it would indicate to me that the number is false and probably higher.

Simply trying to understand what your point is here — I don’t necessarily disagree with most of what you’ve said. Specifically I agree with you that if we’d just left Iran alone things would have turned out much differently and much more positively for them.

and have declared that they respect international law

Because it’s advantageous to do so currently. Let’s not willfully ignore their illegal fishing fleets that have been operating for decades, among other things (like the whole plastic recycling debacle).

They do not care about international law. They care about making you think they do.

What’s the frequency of physical exertion towards the level you described? The primary benefit of going to the gym is regular exertion above a certain level.

I don’t think you can point to any one root cause of racism.

In this age of misinformation I realize I can no longer determine if something is a joke.

“THE CHILDREN. THINK OF THE CHILDREN. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO EXPLAIN WHAT YOU ARE TO THE CHILDREN!?!?”

Maybe you shouldn’t have kids if you can’t explain to them what a penis is.

Probably, considering the meaning of dual

You are insane.

You are insane.

Why would the gas be turned on for the stove? For cooking, right?

That means the amount of gas the other user mentioned is directly tied to the act of cooking, which is definitely pertinent to the conversation. If it were a discussion about simply the heating aspect of cooking, then you might be on to something.
