Interesting. To be clear, I think US gun laws are much too loose, but I think there are ways to sensibly mitigate the risks while still allowing citiz...
General unsafety, police being completely powerless to stop it - it's obvious what he means. UK and many other countries in Europe including my own ar...
I agree. If the authorities cannot reasonably keep you safe, there's no moral grounds upon which they can prevent you from keeping yourself safe. Many...
If you genuinely believe anything that's happening in the US is remotely "fascist", it is you who is the extremist here. Despite all of the legitimate...
I hope the forum takes this as an opportunity for self-reflection. By unironically labeling people as 'fascists' you're exactly contributing to the po...
Therapy. People who showcase an unhealthy obsession with things in the past that they have little to no connection to, are often running away from the...
I don't disagree with Zizek or Nietzsche there, but I do believe the group that classifies themselves as "the victims" are doing so out of a sincere (...
I would offer a slight twist on the subject. The woke category that characterizes themselves as 'the oppressed victims' are absolutely shirking respon...
I actually like the idea of putting professional sports, and similar practices that commodify the body for entertainment (like modeling), in the same ...
And so the bickering schoolchildren continued; "No, Turd Sandwich is worse!" "I can't believe you think that! Giant Douche is clearly worse!" The silv...
Speaking of the woke and their infinite capacity for projection; When making my daily walks, I have started to notice a peculiar pattern. Every now an...
Bit of a weird response. No idea why the word 'feel' set you off in this way, but at this point I figure I'm not surprised. You obviously have a chip ...
It's not meant as a personal insult. It's genuinely how I feel about the position you're laying out. You talk about an obsession with sex, but it's yo...
"A host of think-tanks manned by informed academics"? Oh my, , you make it sound so impressive. I'm sure it's just a coincidence that they're all fund...
Rapists are thrown in jail, and even an accusation without proof resulting in an acquittal is enough to ruin someone's life. I suspect you harbor rese...
People are inadvertently teaming up with the exact republican and neocon human garbage that lobbied for this war from 2008 onward. The hawks want war,...
Cosmetic surgery is huge outside of the West too. I'd say it's a symptom of modernity, rather than having anything to do with the West specifically. M...
I have to say that it's somewhat amusing to witness the response to this collective reality check. :lol: As Nietzsche said, a man's worth can be deter...
Maybe there should be a thread for new invitees where people post with similar enthousiasm, because as everybody's high-fiving in the "Bannings" threa...
Remember when people kept suggesting Russia had some sort of 'kompromat' on Trump? :rofl: Turns out he was indeed compromised, by the all-American CIA...
I'm sure that when Trump leaves the White House everything will be right as rain. The US is such a loveable country after all, that no country in the ...
I think it's the result of decades of living under the nanny state. People will accept the information, but they are unable to process it. You see it ...
It's understandable from the perspective of the Ukrainian people, but political leaders in war have to deal with reality, even if it potentially means...
He wouldn't be entirely wrong. Genuinely, what reason is there to continue fighting? What could Ukraine possibly gain that would improve their bargain...
Western democracy is a total shit show, so if the idea was to sell democracy to foreign countries then we are doing an awful job at it. We are giving ...
Of course, Biden, Biden 2.0 (Kamala) or Biden 2.0* (Trump) was/is capable of and has/would have committed similar acts. The only reason everybody is u...
Various documentaries have been made about similar practices taking place in the Netherlands, and political parties have tried to garner attention for...
The simplistic ones are those who look at western political systems as a vehicle for meaningful change. But, you know, good for you. You're nothing if...
Woke is a classic vehicle to keep people divided and bickering amongst each other. That's why conversation is impossible - it is explicitly against th...
There is no "anti-wokeism", just normal peope wanting the insanity to stop. And Trump is a political outsider, not really part of the political class ...
Being "awake" used to be a reference to the Matrix movie, in which the lead character swallows a red pill and gets to see the world for what it really...
I don't think it's so much a fear of death. Rather, the average person in a western country lives such a safe and sheltered life that they cannot even...
I mean, you clearly have no idea. You might tell yourself you have any idea what it's like based on "data" and "statistics", but you'd just be fooling...
Statistics without context do not "speak for themselves", nor are the words of someone who has (I assume) never had a run-in with violent criminals pa...
