Politic ish, Apologies

I know the leanings of this site and the wider culture. I am here for the images and don't repost vids,or text or cartoons, or news.. and generally not people, pet, food, luxury, etc. I don't generally don't follow those who do a lot of that. that's this place.

There's been more "typical" political post that tempted me to comment . I came close to unfollowing two people over Trump assassination posts. In short both "sides" of "politics " are deeply flawed, making the wrong assumptions and asking wrong and irrelevant questions about almost everything.

The political/ news stories and thoughts get posted over at @cultml if you want the less newsy version try the vid archives. I may post some in that direction here if i get annoyed enough.

this may be the best explanation of one of our problems

you are now free to kindly unfollow me for my off topic thought crimes

“Sen. Cruz is working on a legislative proposal that will hold city officials financially responsible for the property damages and personal injuries that result from their decision to allow autonomous zones and/or order officers to stand down in the midst of rioting and looting,” A spokesperson for Cruz’s office told The Daily Caller.

who defines stand down, riot, looting, etc.

Unfortunately this is now a game without end.......  

the system can not be fix from inside with out the common sense / unwritten rules being restored...... that, can not be done by the system

it’s the lefts tool to take the present and the right just wants to go back to what the left has already torn apart.....

a black swan or new god or new order ... whatever you call it it is the only way we aren’t drug back into some hellish meat grinder of the past  (likely not without it’s share of blood to)

another day

another passing insanity

so what

[cultml]

gaslighting? willfull propaganda?

a serous misunderstanding... of sicialism? ...or power?

Whether Democrats or Republicans control Washington, D.C., the outcome is always a leftist shift in American federal politics. The only difference is that the shift left is faster during Democrat ascendencies and slower during Republican ones.

This year, however, we truly face an EXTINCTION EVENT. The left is no longer keeping it secret that it wants you dead. Your choice, therefore, is the choice that, if made wrong, always precedes a country’s collapse: VOTE OR DIE

there are a number of very sober people including Brit Hume and Thomas Sowell that are on the same page............

If Biden wins what are you will to do... to prevent the fall of not just the US but the west?  (still hard to believe we are here)

It Trump wins...... he might buy some time..... that’s all.... so then what.........

the US and the West as we have known it is dead.... time to get  over it and decide what we going to take with us going forward... darkness and light are both possibilities... copies the past are not ...............

(i am very curious to know what part of the population understands what)

From the article:

"Biden did a lot to embolden Putin. He never engaged in diplomacy. There was none. In January 2020, Biden cut fossil fuel production, killed the KeystoneXL pipeline, and approved Nord Stream 2. He let Russia send fuel to Europe, but not the US. That drove the costs of oil up three times from $35 a barrel in a matter of months. Now it has gone to $80 a barrel, and then almost $100, which is how Russia is funding this war. Biden gave Putin the money for the assault on Ukraine by driving up the cost of gas and oil."

No need to wonder if this is true, Americans can see it is at the gas pump. Now why would an American president want to make life harder for Americans?

Any Americans angry yet? I'm frosted every time I think about it.

Empathy has never been Great. The kind of universal empathy we think of is, as far as i can tell, not that old. Empathy is a useful and necessary tool for understanding people and therefor understanding the world. It may be a motivation to Consider action on someone else's behalf. It is not and never should be a call to action, any action.

To see a starving child in front of you and say, no demand someone feed this child is what the empathy we practice has gotten us. It bastardized empathy. Is some empathy but more apathy used as a chance to show your virtue while doing nothing. A shrewd person will say there is a starving child and proclaim they can help, only if your give then the power to do so, at no cost to you.

Why is the child starving? Is the child starving? Is the child real? will the solution work? What are the shrewd getting out of it? Rational questions empathy hides.

Beware  those wearing virtuous mask claiming empathy for straw men

Empathy is great when it caused you to act on the problem that you can help in front of you. Empathy is great when it informs your understanding of others actions.

Empathy is a weapon when it is unbound by reason. Empathy is a poison when you believe others should act in your place. Empathy needs to be tamed and put in it’s place and them maybe it can be great.

too far...way tooo far. your going to throw teacher in jail for following advice of med professionals? professionals that where following guidelines? i'd like it to be this easy... find then one who pulled the trigger and be done with it. It is not that F'n SIMPLE. just amazes me still how much people with the winning arrangement can act like ignorant zealots.

there is a horror show going on with out a doubt. burning everyone with any involvement at all, at the stake is not what high cultures should do.

Emailed for one going to email the other, running late today anyway so i guess i got a reprieve from my over sleeping

[cultml]

misunderstanding abound (in this too)

(some misunderstanding Peterson , no i haven’t read the book) 5:40min mark is the important understanding

God is died, at least for the purpose of supporting high civilization, all attempts to mitigate / fix the problem have failed .... now what

“I think that this was a sound ruling and I think it sets a precedent that parents cannot be stupid anymore. You have rights as a parent, you have constitutional rights to bear arms, but with those rights comes responsibility. These people, and all parents, owe it to the community to exercise those responsibilities with those rights. I think they go hand-in-hand,” Scherer continued. “You don’t buy your 15-year-old son with no friends, wearing weird clothing, [and] writing in mental health journals about sadistic, sick, twisted fantasies a handgun and then not keep it locked up,” Watters responded.

what the ever loving fuck

no friends...

wearing weird clothing...

writing in mental health journals? (under the supervision of what dr?)

your welcome to raise your kids as long as you follow all the states rules

Why the Left's Vision of Equity Is Flawed | Douglas Murray

Breaking of Now:

If don’t like that formulation good. You build a black swan. If there’s a flock of them maybe one survives. Maybe we avoid generations of brutality. Maybe something of what we have done survives. All I can do now is try to find a way not to live on my knees before anyone, anything, any ideology or idea. Try. That is all I can do.

Is Going Woke Killing Disney... we ran the mathsit looks to me like the woke definition and data was to narrow..?

go wake go broke never fit for me. It's not just woke, it's progressive narrative or (mis)understanding of humanity. Leading to bad story telling or stories that act as if they get humans right but don't. He does in part blame structural changes/ tech, fair enough. More importantly is atomization of the culture, great for new not so much for cohesion or blockbuster movies.
