@furgar "Oh his words are so extreme!"

He is simply taking the climate change hysteria propaganda to its logical conclusion. We need less people? We need less resource consumption? Well, if you die, that is one less person and less resource consumption.

On a smaller scale, these climate change fanatics are not really willing to make changes in their own lives, but think someone else should do it.

@mutageno This does not excuse his actions or excuse his further shilling for the vaxx. Though one thing I know for sure, it was Biden who tried to mandate people take it. And we all saw how the left did a complete 180 on the vaxx once they got in power. Which just showed how fake and gay things really were, and probably saved a ton of right winger's lives who realized something was up with said 180 by lefty politicians.

@mutageno Yes, he absolutely pushed the vaxx. My theory was that he was looking for any solution that could just stop the whole "we're in a PANDEMIC," which is why he originally pushed for HCQ. And surprise, the Cathedral circled the wagons to say that HCQ was dangerous. The vaxx was something that the Cathedral allowed Trump to have as a solution, playing along with his own desire to be the one who solved the problem. I don't think he realized he was being played.

@Tfmonkey I know you said you were over the whole Destiny "debate," but if you have not seen this, it should further confirm that debating the likes of Destiny is a waste of time.

Yes, you heard that right. Destiny needs an article to tell him what to think instead of determining the meaning that is plain as day in front of him. What a tool.

@DEERBLOOD @ChristiJunior @DrRyanSkelton @WashedOutGundamPilot Here is what I recall:

Mormons have the belief that some men after death will become gods of their own planets, sort of like how God is to our earth.

In some books, there are characters who ascend to this status as well.

Perhaps it is not actual subversion, but it sure is suspicious, considering Sanderson being Mormon. And I don't think there is much that would come of this possible subversion. But it may make atheists mad.

@DEERBLOOD @ChristiJunior @DrRyanSkelton @WashedOutGundamPilot Another thing too is that he does something that may very well be subversive with having Mormon themes in his book. It is not critical to the stories, but it is funny to see a non-leftist subversion taking place. Maybe that makes the faggot at Wired so livid, that he is spreading religious themes when "ONLY WE CAN DO THAT!"

@DEERBLOOD @ChristiJunior @DrRyanSkelton @WashedOutGundamPilot Personal taste is probably a major factor here, as well as with other writers. Hard to get around that, and very subjective.

I give credit to Sanderson for having a good cohesive plan with his books (the original Mistborn Trilogy shows this with careful planning) as well as properly fleshed out magic systems.

Not all of his books are equally good, but I overall like his work.

@WashedOutGundamPilot >This is why nobody writes about Brandon Sanderson
>I say to Sanderson, because you don't write very well.

He who lives in a glass house should not throw stones. He writes like a complete faggot and is most certainly is one too.

I don't give one shit about what the gatekeepers in the media think is high quality, because they prove time and time again to praise absolute garbage because someone has the "correct" politics or a specific shade of skin color.

Another thing I will mention is that a "lack of childcare services" are to blame for a low birthrate. Bullshit too. I remember seeing a morning news show discussing the low birth rate in South Korea saying they just need more childcare services (often government provided).

Again, I will ask anyone to give me their best example of a country with these childcare services they want. Most likely, their birth rate is below replacement rate too. So that is not the problem either.

@dander You are talking about an entirely different thing. Yes, the GDP will go down as a result of a lower birth rate.

But I am talking about how a "bad economy" is not the reason for the low birth rate. That is people arriving at the wrong answers, which could be for many reasons.

@VeganMGTOW Yes, being able to afford a family and a place to live is important, but I guarantee that is not the source of the problem, but just an excuse. If you really want a family, you can find a way. Maybe you will not have the dream house you want right away, but I guarantee the children will not care. In most cases it is the woman who demands the priciest homes.

As for the free housing for immigrant groups, that is indeed bullshit. It just makes housing more expensive for everyone else.

Every normie who blames economic conditions for low birth rates or anything related to economics needs to be confronted with questions about which country has the best economic conditions? And then you look up the birth rate. Chances are, the birth rate will be low in spite of the great economic conditions.

Repeat the process if they try to name a different country.

Also, there is never going to be the perfect economic conditions that will raise the birth rate. Because that is not the problem.

@basedbagel If you are talking about the political compass test I am thinking of, I suspect the creators think of themselves as libertarian left, which is just an oxymoron. A lot of those questions are just absurd, as they rely on premises that are just assumed to be true (I forget the exact wording but one goes along the lines of "If X is inevitable, we should" when that inevitability is in question).

@kaiservenom @Tfmonkey She sure is making a lot of assumptions about women in general being introspective enough to realize the actual issues of feminism and that feminism is not just a vehicle to give women more and more perks and provisions regardless of the detriments it brings to men.

@PonyPanda A far better term is "inspin" (involuntary spinster).
