yeah, you let those goose and gander comparisons confuse you. there’s good guys and bad guys. the world is better off without one of the two.

yes, you could call it that and what’s ironic about it?

the only thing between us and utopia are conservatives. there’s a simple solution, really.

it’s not the world we live in only because we continue to allow the bad players to stay in the game. the answer is simple.

that’s a weird statement. i never saw your question as an argument for or against anything, nor did i see my replies as such either.

“that’s just the way it is” is a complicated issue. it’s okay to talk about things without taking sides.

for the US to have a vassal state in the middle east.

you really need to go back and look at the history of post WWII. How that cookie crumbled has set the world stage for where it is today. Israel is part of a long term geopolitical chess game that hasn’t fully played out yet.

i’m pretty sure you could crowdsource an assassination and get more results,.

with or without guns?

your cash and your jewelry is what i expect

i’m not going to bother to make a separation between sex and gender because i find that to be just a little bit of hair splitting nonsense.

with that in mind, i think the male and female aspects of human life are integral to what it means to be a human. i study a lot of mythology and i dabble a bit in paleontology and neuroscience. i believe that there are significant differences between the sexes that act like a yin and yang. i do think we are out of balance and that most societies are heavily weighted towards male aspects. furthermore, i think we would really benefit from leaning into the female side of our humanity.

i believe in a lot of things that most of you would consider old-fashioned but are actually rooted in thousands of years of well-documented human behavior. furthermore, i believe in science. i’ll punch a guy that hits a girl and i have no shame in saying that.

smart people get pushed out of the public discourse, so we end up congregating in small circles.

get ready for your mid life crisis at 45. it’s gonna be great. you’re gonna be hip again for like five minutes but it’s gonna be glorious and you will get laid a lot.

i call for heads to roll all the time and i don’t think they’ve removed one of my posts yet.

let’s give it a quick try. KILL ALL CONSERVATIVES FOR THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY.

right? are we living in that morally ambiguous of a society that people don’t understand basic tenets of decency?

i don’t know what you’re talking about OP. i love it here. we need a place where radical liberals can call for change by whatever means necessary without getting modded by lame centrists.

until you feel like they are trying to lead you into giving them reasonable suspicion, at which point you begin the “am i free to go?” routine.

have children forgotten that we had a flower power/summer of love/ hippie generation and the impacts of that are still being felt today? jim henson, mister rogers, public broadcasting… all that stuff was a ripple effect from a generation of people who were fed up with protestant america’s quiet stoicism.

never forget that shit. those people changed western culture for the better. pick up the torch.

everything’s fine personally, but it makes me sad and bitter that i see a world where the light keeps getting dimmer. when i was younger, i believed in a bright future. hell, i believed in a bright future up until 2015 or so.

i don’t see young people making good memories any more. i don’t see love any more.

what can you do about it? make sure there are consequences for the people who are making it go dark.
