Jake,

If you looking for an Antisemitic Lefty to cite in defending your thesis, you could cite none better than Karl Marx.

Marx didn’t simply denounce the religion aspect of Jewishness (his Father was baptized Lutheran,) but Marx espoused Antisemitic tropes and denounced his own ethnicity in his essay “On the Jewish Question” where he said…[Read more]

Reg,

Now granted, other streaming services have movies about Lizards and Extraterrestrials and even conspiracies involving both, but none that I’ve seen have them as documentaries or hint that they may be true.

There are some Pseudoarcheology videos, but I’m not sure what they are classified as elsewhere.

That story of The Three Fates of Woo…[Read more]

Robert,

France has done a good job with their small nuke plants plus solar/wind/hydro. They only use fossil fuel for 6% of their electricity and are net exporters. They have to do tons of repairs and maintenance of their reactors. Stress fractures of the cooling systems are always happening.

I swear I don’t trust Americans with dangerous t…

Reg,

Are MAGA and the Lizard People all one and the same?

This story certainly explains a lot that’s going on today. A whole lot of people, MAGA and otherwise, are only using the portion of their brains which we share with the lizards.

Jake,

Wrong thread, but the right answer.

Identitarianism we see on the Right was dying until the Left started propagating it’s own version of Identitarianism, which is what “Wokeism” is. They both share Antisemitism as a common denominator.

Robert,

Actually, no, I still don’t think white guys really know what it like to be a black guy with all the racism around. That was the idea of being ‘woke’. To have empathy at least. Guess what? It worked. Gen Z and later IS woke. When my racists-as-fuck boomers and gen x cohorts are all dead; it is gonna be very different.

And so now boome…

Robert,

I’ll say one thing about “woke”. Before it went all wrong on HAMAS, it did shine a light on the millions of racist roaches hiding in dark places. And many of the assumptions even liberals held in their heads. Old movies started making me cringe. I questioned how my life experience was so different from so many fellow Ameri…

Reg and Robert,

I’m not an engineer myself, but I know from having an automobile inverter that inverters require cooling to function properly. This, in turn requires electric motors either to run fans and/or compress and pump coolant for air conditioning systems. This both detours power away from DC systems and means more moving parts at the…[Read more]

Reg,

I agree with Bob. Atheism is practical 🙂

But he said “practical” like it was a bad thing.

I found it a difficult read as theological word salad makes me despair for humanity 🙂 Such utter nonsense from someone of the same species.

The Vatican & Company love to hear themselves talk.

Protestants do too, but they do it by shouting and adding…[Read more]

Pope “Love” bashes us coming out of the gate:

Robert,

Yes, we should all go on and on about the evils of “wokeness” that the 1% have marketed to millions of dupes as they dismantle the country. The 1% sold our jobs overseas for cheap labor and easy pollution, then get Americans to blame the countries they sold it too and now get even get dumb as rocks American to pay taxes to buy the shi…

Reg,

Pope Love XI

Pope Love XI? Does he play tennis?

Jake,

Enco, that was funny. I don’t think it was wokeism.

Be not fooled, Jake. Off camera, that Woke-bigoted pony was telling that woman:

“After Tha’ Man let y’all go, he put yolks on my kind and we had to take up the slack! We’re above you on the Intersectional Oppression Olympics Totem Pole! Hell, James Watt culturally appropriated from us w…[Read more]

So does this mean Pope Leo XIV will treat the Laity as numbers?

Jake,

Before you celebrate your winnings, just know that the mind-virus of Wokeism has gone zoonotic, from homo sapiens to equine:

And like all religion, Wokeism poisons everything, including cosmetic ads.

Mister Ed, Esquire will be in touch. 🎠

Simon,

Individuality is related to freedom. The British believe in individuality, or at least, it’s celebrated alongside conformity.

Obviously not celebrated equally when the government tells people to think before they post on social media.

Strega,

She was in a classroom around age twelve, and the class was required to write the one word they felt typified Americans. Everyone else wrote “Individuality”, and she wrote “Conformity” 🙂

This isn’t a country that celebrates individualism. We would be looking at the conformists to introduce new education programs promoting individua…

Jake,

loaded question number one. Not gonna address the union secured and tenured part. I will just say in general our compulsory education generally fails in that regard. Occasionally a teacher of unusual perspicuity and concern makes a difference. In general however it is closer to all in all just another brick in the wall.

I wasn’t meaning…[Read more]

Reg and Jake,

“Man’s capacity for justice makes democracy possible, but man’s inclination to injustice makes democracy necessary.”

Karl Paul Reinhold Niebuhr.

Hey, Rein-y. Democracy only has anything to do with justice if a majority wants justice–or injustice for that matter, which a majority too often does if unchecked. Socrates was forced…[Read more]

Reg,

If we have a shortage of critical thinking in society, how much you suppose is the fault of the very rooms where kids. are required by law to spend 6 to 8 hours a day for 8 to 12 years and the union-tenured teachers presiding over them? And would any government today really want critically thinking citizens?
