“That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
Every Redditor is basically Hasan Piker. Nothing but bullshit from stem to stern.
Hasan Piker hits a wall when he tries to tell a man born in the Soviet Union that Americans are just as controlled as people under communism.
Konstantin Kisin shuts down the comparison and lays out the difference.
When he’s done, even Piker admits he’s right.
HASAN PIKER: “A lot of people think, well, as long as I can eat a Big Mac, you know, as long as I can watch TV, as long as I can consume porn [...] then, you know, things are probably fine.”
“It’s a different mechanism of control that makes you think that you are actually an active participant in this.”
Kisin isn’t buying it.
KONSTANTIN KISIN: “The difference between those countries is not that they can’t eat a Big Mac.”
“The difference is that if they criticize the government, in Russia today even, but of course in the Soviet Union previously, you’re going to get killed, right? In America, that’s not what happens, right? In America, you don’t get put in jail.”
HASAN PIKER: “We don’t know yet.”
That’s his whole defense: what MIGHT happen in America.
So Kisin makes it personal.
KONSTANTIN KISIN: “You in China or in the Soviet Union would be killed if you were critical of that regime.”
HASAN PIKER: “I would definitely be jailed, for sure.”
And there it is. Piker makes Kisin’s argument for him.
KONSTANTIN KISIN: “So that’s the difference between these countries and America. It’s not a Big Mac, it’s freedom.”
Only in a free country can you build a career telling people they aren’t free.
CONTEXT: Communist regimes don’t just jail their critics.
Under Stalin, the Soviet secret police executed 681,692 people in two years, by the regime’s own records. That’s more than 900 a day.
Under Mao, the Great Leap Forward killed at least 45 million people in four years, per historian Frank Dikötter.
Under Pol Pot, nearly a quarter of Cambodia’s population was dead within four years.

My guess is Huang is going to put up Tiger Woods numbers by the time this thing is done. Billionaire, check; most important company on earth, check; smarter than entire rooms full of people, check. Dude has all kinds of pull.

I’ve said this for a long time. All these non profits and think tanks and what have you, they don’t want real solutions. Because then the plate they eat from gets cleared and they no longer get meals. Left wing politics erects windmills to fight as dragons. They are not actually interested in climbing atop their donkeys to ride into battle.
It's laughable that you think Dems would go for this.
They don't want amnesty any more than we do. That would be "fixing" the problem, and you don't motivate voters with "fixed" problems.
Much like how they failed for decades to codify abortion. That wasn't accidental.

Santorum’s messaging is the type of blind nonsense that liberals espoused post 24 election. Surely you are at fault for this, not me. And frankly I see a lot of this messaging getting trickled down to accounts around here.
Full transparency I voted red all the way down my ticket because I am bedrock republican and won’t vote differently unless the party fundamentally shifts away from the values they pretend to represent today.
But there are a lot of voters who swing back and forth between both parties because of what they see in front of them. They don’t spend a lot of time on the internet. They don’t spend a lot of time researching every facet of political gamesmanship. They ingest what is in front of them and vote based off it because they have lives to live that aren’t terminally on X or Facebook or anywhere else. Calling them the problem, and idiots, and manipulated isn’t going to win you votes. Remember that next election cycle or what happened here will just get worse.

Something that liberals have a hard time grasping is that much of the rest of the world understands one language, power. Bukele is putting this on full display as he yanks the leash of a large swath of horrible people who believed they were in charge.

My grandmother’s ghost has apparently possessed Mark Levin
Folks, I have spent literally the entire day trying to get someone at AOL to unlock my email. For the last eight hours, I have been told that the issue has been escalated to supervisors who would contact me. I haven't heard a thing.
You would think that, since I'm one of the last human beings on the face of the Earth still using AOL, they would take care of this. You'd be wrong.
So, once this gets resolved, hopefully before the next presidential election, I'm dropping them. (I kept them this long out of convenience, but now I have no reason to keep them.)
I'll see you on the radio at 6 p.m., at which time I will address this further.

If I ever see anyone post like this about me just know that I think you are a faggot and I’m glad you left.
In the past 24 hours, I've removed two fairly large mutual accounts that decided to sacrifice their credibility by trying to validate James Lindsay.
I have enough problems with people like Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin who have historically been vocal about neoconitis, but still on the right. I have zero tolerance for subversives that come over from the left and pretend they get to dictate the direction of the Republican party.
@monicaonairtalk @DrunkRepub Reminder for both of you to unfollow me in return and start using better judgement. Your credibility is now zero.

This is the bottom line. You could see the shellacking written on the wall in blood if you weren’t an idiot. Gas has been $4 for months. You know, the thing he ran on? Cheap gas? Lower prices? None of that. No surprise all the swing voters put their middle fingers up and then a bunch of Rs stayed home instead of voting.
But a ton of people on this site will sound like the libs did when Cameltoe lost to Trump in 24. Any excuse but “we shit the bed”. You can see it everywhere. “It was cheating” “there’s no way that many votes went left” “something doesn’t smell right”.
The libs couldn’t wrap their mind around it either and it was pathetic then and it’s pathetic now. We lost because we suck. We had majority control and we did nothing. We did worse than nothing. We started a war in the sandbox again. Kiss of death stuff. The writing was on the wall.
People who got every step of this wrong and shamed anyone who pointed out they were hearing normal people getting really pissed off about Iran and the cost of living are tweeting 'I was always right but...'
Get what we deserve if they still have relevance in a week.

The McRib objectively does not taste bad because they literally cook the pork pattys and then drown them in bbq sauce. It’s all you can taste. This does not, however, mean that the McRib is not ultimately bad from an existential perspective.
Reupping this because the McRib is back on the McDonald’s menu so McRib discourse is back on the menu too

Is it wrong that the weird gay sex bucket for the sand people movie immediately makes me think of @SirajAHashmi and @jay_kobbe? Maybe they should have called it the Habibi Brothers Bucket instead.

Diversity of course means every crayon in the box is the same color. I am very smart.
I’m proud to have the most talented, hardest-working cabinet in Virginia’s history. They are also the most diverse cabinet Virginia has ever seen.
Every single one of our cabinet secretaries were selected because they’re the best of the best in their respective fields. They also bring invaluable perspectives from across the Commonwealth — from Danville, Hampton Roads, Richmond, NOVA, and more.
I’m grateful to get to work with these incredibly dedicated, hard-working, and talented cabinet officials to serve the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Decided it was time to go back to my old user name. The expanded version was a joke from the Biden administration and their branding of republicans as Mega MAGA and then Ultra MAGA. It was funny at some point but like the old admin, it’s time to clean things up and get back to life as it was.
