I belong to the same group as an unambiguously good thing. I also add something evil to this group. They are now connected. If you criticise the evil thing, you are also against the unambiguously good thing, because I have for dishonest rhetorical reasons connected them. I now reduce the...
That's classic etiological mythicism.
Whatever we have now was all along the goal in the past. No it wasn't.
Humans have a bad habit of making patterns out of noise.
There's no steps. It's just lots of shit that happens for no reason. Humans are meaning creating. We don't like doing stuff for...
I understand it must suck to have your virtue signalling toys taken away from you. Now you're going to actually have be the good person you pretend to be. I hope it's not to stressful for you :)
I see you have created a Christianity shaped hole. Good heavens, would you look at that. Only Christianity fits into the hole. Who would have thought? It's a miracle. Praise the lord.
I'm not sure why I wrote that the black queer girl I have the strip tease competition was trans. She's not. That was just a mistake. She's a regular bisexual queer black woman.
edit: Ok, now I know. Autocorrect is to blame.
Ok. How can you tell if a person isn't aware of social injustices? What's the tell? You can't.
Woke isn't about actual awareness. It's about theatrically demonstrating it. It's demonstrating that you know the current vogue cultural sensitivity phrase, completely decoupled from any real...
To a hammer everything is a nail. If you're on a crusade to figure out who is a victim you'll find them everywhere. Because there's lots of moving parts in society. If your goal is to find victims have a free pass to reformulate any narrative and take any perspective you can twist everything...
Ha ha. Exactly. Minorities are only welcome if they are willing to play along according to the woke victim script. If they don't play the victim card as defined by the majority, then they can get the fuck out. Heaven forbid they should ever have their own opinions.
But wokes aren't. They just say they are. They're more concerned with attacking whoever doesn't conform.
Lol. DARVO is just the kind of newspeak we expect from wokes. And now I somehow fear minorities because I think we're better off if minorities speak for themselves rather than being spoken...
That's not at all how I see it at all. Woke is having a hardened heart. It's having a hardline progressive attitude and anyone who doesn't agree on the current politically agreed upon set of values, must be destroyed.
Woke is intolerant. It's not cultural openness. I think it's very much a...
It's all relative. USA has the weakest leader (president), comparatively, than any other democraticaly elected leader of a country. The US president has to respect lots of laws, traditions and state specific stuff other democratically elected leaders don't need to care a hoot about. Who an...
The US states have a high degree of self rule and have developed different civic cultures. Comparatively, USA is quite loosely held together.
I'm convinced that's why it works. USA's central government have to do a good job or the states will leave. It's already happened once.
Contrast it to...
Yes, USA's systems of electors is objectively bad. It was copied by the south American republics that followed during the Napoleonic wars. They all soon collapsed. Its a system wide open to abuse and very hard to keep stable.
But even so, in USA it did work. It really did. And does. Sometimes...
The word "united" in the name is a clue.
Fun fact many people don't know, Spain, Italy and the UK are all empires. They're unions of several distinct nations.
Those aren't mutualy exclusive. USA is a Liberal democracy. A very well functioning democracy. If you think anything else, that just means you don't understand the terminology.
I'm often amazed about how badly Americans understand the basics of democracy and its terminology, yet manage to make...
I am sure you know more than me on the specifics. But I have heard a lot of dumb shit being said on this forum about democracy.
Democracy isn't one man one vote. Its just a system to spread the base of power as wide as possible without destabilising society. That last thing is critical.
