@YeetLibs It is because the mothers did not choose for that to happen. No really, any time you hear media outrage about forced abortions in some countries, they never show sympathy for the baby. Only the mother, because "her choice was taken away from her." They celebrate if the woman chooses to kill the baby. Because it they are all about women doing whatever they want, no matter how morally abhorrent.

@ButtWorldsMan Yep. Pretty sure unless you are someone like Ilhan Omar, you are going to be politically blacklisted if you do not go "rah rah Israel."

@shortstories That may qualify. I don't know that either Ron or Rand voiced support for Palestine, but not being full-bore for Israel is certainly different than many others.

@shortstories I don't think he is holding any office, so no. They most certainly have to be elected in my challenge. Being a "pundit" or "movement leader" does not count.

You can find out if someone is "moderate" or more "extreme" on the political spectrum based on who they support in the Israel/Palestine conflict. And by extreme, I mean both the left and the right. "Teams are being scrambled!"

Challenge to anyone: name me a politician on the right that is not supporting Israel. While most left and right establishment politicians support Israel, I have only seen examples on the left support Palestine.

Therefore, there are no extreme right wing politicians.

I don't see the "humiliation ritual" part of it being a conscious effort on the women's part. It is just a means to get attention. While women mainly want attention from only the top percentage of men, some women may still like the fact that they gets a lot of attention in general for wearing revealing clothing.

@Pain66 I will give credit to the lefties that are all saying "Free Palistine," as it demonstrates consistency with their distaste of ethnostates/apartheid states. Given how often I see cognitive dissonance on their side, some consistency is nice. It also shows that they are not giving a free pass to Jews just because they are Jewish (though many on both the right and left do, unfortunately).

@MeBigbrain @elftummy @Shadowman311 >she

That ain't no "she."

The easiest way to tell how someone is politically aligned is what information or source of information they are least critical of. Anything that aligns with how you think will most likely be the very thing you question the least.

To make sure that your mind is sharp and that you know the truth, you must be ready to question things that you assume to be true. You should continually test what you see as true to make sure that it is that indeed. Otherwise, you do not value truth.

@Heil_Honkler We hardly have to imagine. I have seen what happens when there is any mention of having open borders/immigration to Israel. Suddenly, that is a no go for many of the "fellow whites" who want majority white countries to have endless immigration.

And if this starts WWIII (or progresses it further if it indeed has already started), I will not be too happy either. But perhaps that is inevitable, and this is just the time it would happen. After all, there is no way that the US can remain on top of the pecking order for all time. There has never yet been a permanent empire, and that is not going to change because we are somehow special or "the good guys." No, the US will go down. How quickly that happens remains to be seen.

I swear if the US sends troops to help Israel, I am going to be mad. Yeah, how many troops did our "greatest ally" send when our military was in Iraq and Afghanistan? So we should send just as many to them.

Though it might be another opportunity of embarrassment for our troops to fumble in being helpful, otherwise show that we are not the invincible force that the US government has been proclaiming. I guess we will see.

The whole Hamas attack on Israel should be considered another consequence of the declining American empire. I am going assume that members of Hamas and other groups are not uncritically accepting what Western news propaganda proclaims to be true (e.g. UKRAINE IS TOTALLY WINNING GUYS). They know the US is weak, and they figure now is the time to attack "OUR GREATEST ALLY" when we are less capable of helping them, considering the US military's current levels of incompetence.

@sardonicsmile Having landlords included in the "real work" is sure to rile up any commies who think that they should just be able to live wherever without it costing them anything.

@Humpleupagus Not a lawyer myself, but I am quite sure there is never a case where something you said about what you are being accused of ever gives you any help in being exonerated. You can only dig yourself deeper into the hole.

Am I correct?

@PordanJeterson you need to stop reading into things that are not there. When I say it is ridiculous that this is going to be sustainable, it is because I think there will be too many Africans. I am most certainly not calling for this projection to come to fruition, but rather say that reality dictates that this will be impossible and that it will have disastrous consequences if their population does go up.

My predictions were not accompanied by calls to action. I only diagnosed an issue.
