workers become cheaper because they do not feel so poor when they don't have to their money taken by income taxes

That really doesn’t matter much. If you pay $10K in taxes per year then you have $10K less money. How paid it only makes a slight difference to people and makes none at all to companies.
FairTax is conceptually appealing, the idea being to only tax things once in the production cycle. The problem is that makes it very easy to manipulate also. Declare yourself a reseller and you can buy at untaxed wholesale price.

Complex one because he loosely has a point. The US needs to consider what would happen if trade was cut off. The details he brings up are a mix of wrong, misunderstood and exaggerated.

great self-sufficient industrial power again as China has become

Totally wrong. China doesn’t produce enough food for their own population. If they were cut off from food imports and oil imports they need for fertilizer the country would begin starving within a year.

Amusingly there is a very real sense it is the same situation but they have it backwards. The anti-trans are holding on to their position because it appears there are two genders most of the time. They don’t want to accept that the real situation may be more complex.

Easily transmitted diseases are not “your body, your choice”. It’s what your body ends up doing to other people that make vaccines important.

Martin Kerr #racist #wingnut

The surrender of the Germans at Stalingrad was insignificant. They surrendered will after victory was impossible. Far more important were the mistakes Hitler made but you never see those mentioned. A more momentous point would be Hitler deciding to invade Russia before securing peace or a truce on the western front. Or when Hitler decided to declare war on the US. Hitler felt no need to carry through with treaties and agreements in general but decided to carry through with the one with Japan for some reason.

Pollution is also a factor. Fertility is down for couples trying to have children and is mostly attributed to all of the junk in our environment.

After all, the DNA says it is human, and cell-division says it is alive.
And simple common sense, all by itself, says the exact same thing.

That is true of skin cells also, which blows up your simple minded common sense out of the water.

Donald Trump #racist #wingnut #psycho

Trump also placed blame on his predecessors: “I put safety first. Obama, Biden and the Democrats put policy first and they put politics at a level that nobody’s ever seen.”

That is like claiming to be humble. If it was true you wouldn’t be saying that, you would be demonstrating it with your actions.

This is the key to flat earth theory. The majority of flat earthers are so wrapped up in the conspiracy that they never really test if the world is flat or not.

Medeea Greere #crackpot #wingnut #conspiracy

Light/order vs darkness/chaos isn’t a novel idea. A bit unusual in that both light and darkness are cast as evil but that has been done before also. The two sides are a random mishmash of basic cult groups and idea. Oddly the Order of the Golden Dawn is the side of darkness. Overall 2/10 for lack of creativity or well developed ideas.

Afrofrycook #dunning-kruger

I can’t decide if he is complaining because the left are pushing people to be nazi’s by promoting woke policy that the right dislike or because he doesn’t understand that nazi’s branded themselves socialist because socalism was more popular.

Either way he is very wrong.

If he dies they will mostly just revise their beliefs to whoever the new leader is. They are pretty flexible about their Christianity, it’s American nationalism they really believe in.
It will be interesting if he is removed from office and whines about it. That will split the nut jobs and lead to some inter-fascist fighting.

State of the Nation Editor #wingnut #racist #conspiracy

It is funny how the State of the Nation Editor has recast the global reset theory to be part of the evil new world order. It’s the sort of instant flip flop that shows just how much these conspiracy theories are just words that barely have a meaning.
The Trump coin is a simple pump and dump scheme that may have made Trump a pile of money. There were other more technical and finance backers so it was a conspiracy of sorts but no need for a global conspiracy or any deep goal. I say may have made Trump money because I have not seen any confirmation of that yet. Depending on how much he put up and if he sold coin he should have made a lot but the other backers may have been exploiting his name and he was just another sucker in the scheme.

Donald J. Trump #wingnut

That result alone proves that, as all Legal Scholars and Experts have said, THERE IS NO CASE, THERE WAS NEVER A CASE, and this whole Scam fully deserves to be DISMISSED.

This is absurdly wrong. The reality is the reverse, the unconditional discharge means Trump was guilty. This is the real point to Trump. He was likely only going to be fined anyways. Trump avoided any penalty but he didn’t achieve unconditional surrender and Trump now feels entitled to that. It isn’t enough for him to come out ahead any more, he wants his opponents crushed.

Patrick O'Carroll #wingnut #racist #crackpot #conspiracy

Interestingly different wording but it’s really just a rewording of classic illuminati global conspiracy stuff. I do find the bit about the USSR faking it’s death to be amusingly warped. A conspiracy with the size, organization and sophistication to fake something like that wouldn’t need any of this other crud, they would already have global control.

But avoid the term "White Genocide", by preferably calling it instead "Weaponized Replacement Migration".

That is just as offensive and gives away the plan better then the original phrase.

MassResistance #homophobia

Throughout human history, the idea of legal “gay marriage” would have been considered completely insane.

Simply not true. It has been allowed in various forms through recorded history. There were also periods when a man’s marriage to a woman was a legal matter for inheritance and his relations to other men was more important socially.

Clif High #crackpot #racist #ufo #conspiracy

China reversed course hard on child bearing. The one child policy combined with a lot of people not getting married at all resulted in sharply declining population. They canceled the one child policy and now they are trying to get women to have children.

The Rev. Steven Roland #fundie

If you’re a Calvinist, why do you even go to church or worship God? If I was one, I’d be sitting in my underwear on Sunday mornings eating Bon Bons and watching old reruns of I Love Lucy and Andy Griffith! If everything is predetermined and God already chose an elect, what’s the point of spreading the Gospel?

Roland doesn’t understand Calvinism. One of the points is that if you are one of the elect you would want to go to church or at least recognize the importance of going to church when possible. I also like the subtle admission by Roland that he doesn’t like going to church and would not go if he didn’t feel he had to.

Mike Stone #wingnut #crackpot #racist #conspiracy

When you live someplace for a while, you notice things. On Wednesday morning, I stepped outside and into a scene I had never seen before in this city. The sky was black, the wind was howling and intense, enough to knock a man down and unlike any wind I've ever experienced. It was like nuclear fallout from a post-apocalyptic movie. Today, a day later, you can't step outside without inhaling ashes.

Expanding air from raging fire storm adds to the existing wind and scatters smoke and ash. That is how it works. More over, live someplace long enough and you will encounter very rare or unique events. A lot of conspiracy theories derive from rare events that people refuse to believe are random events.

Alexandra Bruce #wingnut #crackpot #conspiracy

The Russian hypersonic missiles have been a disappointment. The Russians are essentially hand building them one by one and only half work, the rest fail on launch. The Ukrainian air defense has stopped some of them. Because they are so fast they can’t hug the ground too closely so a quick air defense has at least some chance of getting a missile up to stop them.

Elon Musk #wingnut

Musk has reached the level of a teenage edgelord. He is posting stupid stuff just to stir up the pot and distract from other things he would rather not talk about. That other people take it seriously and the news reports on it like it’s important is the real problem.

Kerry Cassidy #ufo #wingnut #conspiracy

This is pretty amusing because the legal issues raised are valid questions. Even the questions about the validity of patents in space is a meaningful question, if not the big issue they make it out to be. Rather then deal with the questions in a reasonable manner they jump to vast conspiracies and the Secret Space Program killing people to keep control of AI technology.

Clothing style is an ever changing thing. A girl in a punk jacket can be just as pretty as one in a flower dress. If you can’t understand that and your mind is so rigid you can only grasp one standard of beauty the problem is at your end.

Jim #wingnut #racist #sexist #homophobia #transphobia #fundie

A state needs a faith, and an army needs a faith. There is always a state faith.

Nope, you just can’t imagine one. Many European states get by with no faith, historically many empires included many faiths. Many countries have nominal official faiths that little of the population actually follows.

If men and women are equal, they are interchangeable

That is a gross misunderstanding of what equal means. Equality means equal before the law, not that people are interchangeable cogs. That any citizen can file a lawsuit, can handle money, can own a house, can fill any job in government that they are qualified for, can stand for election for any office and so on.

Michael Voris #fundie

I would point out that this isn’t a very powerful god but there is no need. This whole argument is a transparent thin justification for the evils of society. The poor and oppressed are not as loved by God as the wealthy and powerful so the lower class deserve the abuse and the rich deserve power.

Ashamed-Success-3826 #sexist #pratt #dunning-kruger

Nasty mix of half-truths and misleading statements.

First off, an "Incel" simply means, involuntary celibate. All of the so called "misogyny" that happens is added on or tacked on.

Technically true but Incel is now associated with the misogyny too heavily to ignore it.

Looks matter, along with your entire bodily concept, much more then personality or any other external factor.

Over stating the case. Yes looks matter more then most women would say, particularly for just walking up and talking to them at a bar. Personality and other factors matter a lot for building an actual stable relationship.

Women just have incredibly high standards due to them knowing about genetic potential and superior men.

Both men and women suffer from excessively high standards. When both sides expect to find somebody of equal or better looks there is actually only a very narrow range that matches and that depends on both sides agreeing on what their range is.
I think worse is the expectation that relations will just work. In reality it takes a fair bit of work from both sides to build a good relationship and there will be missteps along the way.

Sister Toldjah #conspiracy #racist

the focus first being on those who have committed criminal offenses.

That is the sort of simple minded populism that Trump banks on. It sounds good if you don’t think about it but it’s actually a bad idea. Most of the criminal illegal immigrants are gang members because the rest keep away from criminal activity to avoid notice. What happens if you deport a gang member to their poor unstable home country? They meet up with their gang and get smuggled back into the US. To keep them under control the US mostly has to keep the violent criminals for their sentences and then deport them.

A significant part of why it seems this way is that the right just isn’t funny. The right tries to mock the left but it comes off as stupid or mean rather then funny. Look at how many times they have tried to set up right wing comedy shows and have failed.

These weren’t your run-of-the-mill tech components; they were 1000x more advanced than RFID chips

RFID chips are simple chips designed to hold up to the wear of being attached to objects and moved around while in use, and be very low cost. This comparison is like claiming a jet fighter is 1000 times faster then a kayak. True but not very interesting.

These operatives were Iranian special ops soldiers working for U.S. white hat forces. Who would suspect them?

If I was moving a group of important people and products from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing there being a bunch of Iranians on the plane would be suspicious just for being there.
Even for a conspiracy theory is weird half baked stuff.

The technological innovations used then are now phantoms on the horizon. Compare old buildings such as Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris or the Dom Tower in Utrecht with today’s kitschy glass, steel and concrete blocks. It clearly shows the evidence of the decline of our current culture and civilisation!

Style isn’t objective, desired style for large buildings has come and gone. One thing modern buildings have is light from the outside. They also have much more space efficient layouts. Classic cathedrals have less window space and they need elaborate support arches on the outside to hold their walls in place. And nothing pre-modern comes close to the vertical size of modern buildings.

Argument by horribly biased definition. Socialism isn’t what socialists say, what they have done historically or what any reasonable definition says. Socialism is only things I think are bad, therefore socialists and the left in general are bad.

Trump will do whatever suits his political convenience. Neither Israel, Palestine or the people who live in either matter him and I’m sure he doesn’t know the history of the region. That will be pro-Israel for the foreseeable future and not putting any limits on what the Israeli military does.

Allister Heath #wingnut #racist #dunning-kruger

In Britain and Europe, cancel culture was deployed against anybody who questioned the scale and impact of mass migration, with sceptics smeared as racists. The Hunter Biden scandal was covered up, including by Facebook, which censored a New York Post story ahead of the 2020 elections. It became impossible to discuss the likelihood that Covid originated from an accidental lab leak in Wuhan; posts or articles would be removed from social media or search engines, and authors hounded as xenophobes.

Nobody questioned that mass migration causes issues. The biggest issue is always racists acting like it’s going to destroy society when it’s the racist’s over reaction that does the most damage.
The Hunter Biden scandal was given more press then it deserved. Did a drug addicted son of major politician do some illegal things? Yes. Does it tie to Joe Biden? No. It should finally be dead because after years of investigation by multiple parties nothing has been found and the FBI investigation proved that the central allegation of corruption was a lie.
The issue of Covid being a lab leak gets discussed fairly often but it doesn’t go anyplace. Could it be a lab leak? Yes. Is it likely? No. Is the Chinese government ever going to make a fair investigation and make the results public? No chance. Most allegations of it being a lab leak are more racism or conspiracy theory then realistic assessment.

The ACLU has a lot of entries when you search for it because it’s a major organization inside the US with a long history. Ovarit is a blip in the window compares to the ACLU.
The rest about movements being ignored and rejected by the press until they are suddenly promoted once accepted is loosely true. It’s true for movements of all types and ignores that the vast majority of movements fail before being accepted. It also overlooks the ugly truth that this often happens even if the movement is misguided or wrong. Acceptance by the press is not a test of truth or moral correctness.

How could you measure that or even see it

It’s how fast it’s moving in the camera’s arc of vision that matters. At millions of miles away NASA can easily take pictures of things moving even faster because they are moving a fraction of a degree per second.
The whole list of complaints is failure to understand things not like everyday events or conspiracy theories.

This isn’t fundy, it’s simple minded self-serving politics. Yoon Suk Yeol thought the military would back him up no matter what excuse he gave. The stated justification didn’t matter, it was just an excuse to shut down parliament and investigations into him.

The ability to patent humans is potentially a real problem, US law and the courts have waved on the ability to patent genes. The rest is conspiracy theories and local rumors.

Culturally, males in our society were becoming soft “bananas” without the toughness required to enforce traditional cultural norms.

Traditional cultural norms is a huge trap. Not only do they have to change over time as the world changes but they are never exactly what people think they are. People have rose colored glasses images of the past based on what they saw in their childhood and what they see in TVs and movies.

Comparisons to the Lord of the Rings don’t work because both sides were competent. Some 80s black comedy where there is a bully who is popular only because his dad has money and has a circle of sycophants around him is what you are looking for.

As for the second part he is technically correct and entirely missing the point. The US doesn’t have national drivers licenses, they are issued by states. The federal government only issues Commercial Drivers Licenses to people who drive trucks.

I’d defy anyone to find a “classic American tradition” that is “unique to white people.”

I would say brazenly ripping off other cultures because it’s what we are good at, but it’s something Americans adapted from the British.
