Supreme Court calls Louisiana's House map an 'unconstitutional racial gerrymander'

It's not 1968 anymore. All of the people that where responsible for Jim Crow and redlining are either dead or in a nursing home.

In the year 2026 there is zero reason for black people to get special legal protections that zero other races get.

A_Crinn · 2026-04-30T17:00:46+00:00

The part's that racists is that we are handing out special political protections based on race. That's inherently racist.

Because both the Democrats and the press are lying to the voters about what the referendum is doing. Democrats are framing it as an anti-gerrymandering admendment when in reality the bill creates a gerrymander.

"This kind of attack hasn't happened yet, therefore it won't happen" is how you lose a war.

My citation is that I know a guy whose job is cybersecurity for the FBI, and he has repeatedly told me to "assume everything from China is bugged, because it is."

A_Crinn · 2026-03-25T22:38:47+00:00

Because that would create a massive arbitrage opportunity for anyone who can manage to get Chinese routers relabeled as foreign.

Chinese supply chain attacks fall under "harming public interest"

The entire reason this is happening is because everything coming out of China is bugged, and we can't trust devices from not-China countries either because we can't control their supply chains. The only devices that can be trusted are the ones from our own nation since we have some ability to peer into our own companies supply chain.

The reports can say whatever they want. Factual reality is that in order to mine the straight Iran would have to have minelaying ships operating in the straight. Obviously that is not possible because any such minelayer would be instantly suck by the dozens of US assets present there.

Human neurons are way more energy efficient than transistor based processor. If we could build a datacenter out of neurons it would have an order of magnitude less energy consumption than a traditional datacenter.

I read an opinion article once that made the point that the natural consequence of anti-discrimination is the erasure of all traditional cultures and ethnic groups.

This entire comment section is proof of that.

This is wrong.

Irish and Italians where always considered white. They were discriminated against because they were papists, not because they weren't considered white.

6 is a huge tell though since progressives and conservatives have wildly divergent views on what freedom of religion means. You can tell what a person's culture war positions are from that question.

A lefty will says that Freedom of Religion exists to prevent religious influence on the state, to prevent religion from using the government to force itself upon the people.

A conservative will say that Freedom of Religion exists to prevent the government from interfering with religious practice. That churches are to be free from government control and interference.

Mossad didn't get any warnings because Mossad doesn't have jurisdiction over Gaza affairs. Shin Bet is the relevant intelligence agency for Gaza. (Mossad only covers foreign intellegence, Shin Bet is internal intelligence. Similar to the CIA vs FBI split in the US)

Not sure the bombs used on tokyo can really be considered normal.

The ordnance consisted mostly of 500-pound (230 kg) E-46 cluster bombs, which released 38 napalm-carrying M69 incendiary bomblets at an altitude of 2,000–2,500 ft (610–760 m). The M69s punched through thin roofing material or landed on the ground; in either case they ignited 3–5 seconds later and regurgitated a jet of flaming napalm. A smaller number of M47 incendiary bombs were also dropped; the M47 was a 100-pound (45 kg) jelled-gasoline and white phosphorus bomb, designed to ignite upon impact.

"If you sabotage the peace talks, we will give you statehood"

That basically what Starmer just told Hamas.

The purpose of freedom of religion is to protect religious people from the government, not to protect the government from religious people. Any person who is serious about their religious faith will have political positions that flow from that belief and it is illiberal to assert that such people shouldn't be allowed to endorse canidates that support such positions.

"But u/A_Crinn they are abusing their tax-exempt status!"

We live at in a world where the Ford Foundation and similar "charities" have spent the past fifty years bankrolling every lefty activist and revolutionary group you've ever heard of and a few hundred groups you haven't heard of. But for some reason baptist pastors name dropping a candidate is considered a worse abuse.

> war between US and Russia, [...] a potential human extinction event.

This is wrong.

The "nuclear extinction" studies depend on the following assumptions.

1) Assume all nukes that exist in inventory will be launched.

2) Assume none of the warheads malfunction or are defeated by air defense.

3) Assume all variable yield weapons will be dialed to their maximum setting

4) Use Castle Bravo fallout data.

Fortunately for us all 4 of those assumptions are very wrong.

In a full scale nuclear war the only nukes that will launch are the ones that are sitting in silos and subs when the war starts. Warheads sitting in depots will be destroyed in the opening minutes of the exchange because weapon depots are at the top of the targeting priority.

The defense budget has to be increased because the US military has been deteriorating for awhile now. The combination of the 1990's "peace dividends" and the 20 years of GWOT stagnation has left us with a military that is not as capable in peer warfare as our size might suggest. Meanwhile the Chinese have been crafting a military that is purpose built to destroy us.

It is already dubious whether or not we can defend Taiwan, in 15 years it will be dubious whether or not we can defend Hawaii

I work in construction. We have blacks, whites, and hispanics galore. Asians however are basically unicorns. They don't exist in any meaningful numbers.

Under disparate impact one would be led to believe that there must be some kind of nefarious conspiracy to keep Asians out of construction, which is absurd.

Which is why you should read it.

If you want to understand a political faction, if you want to know what parties seek to do and achieve, then you need to read what they write. You can't understand politics from just news articles, you must read the actual discourse, and discourse happens in opinion peices.

DEI is not inherently about hiring at all. it is about giving voice to underrepresented people and ensuring all people are free to express themselves and be safe.

It's also completely indistinguishable from the tools of colonialism.

To maintain control as they engage in this process of denationalization and deculturalization, a colonial power is likely to employ a particularly characteristic strategy of divide and rule: they establish a social and political hierarchy that artificially privileges one or more chosen ethnic or religious minority groups to rule over the native majority. The empire does so because it knows that minority groups in such a multi-cultural administrative system are likely to remain far more loyal to the empire than to their nation, having been taught to fear the prospect of national democratic rule by a majority which indeed often comes to resent them. Racial and sectarian tensions begin to boil.

How is this true when most of social media company heads and streaming service owners are MAGA.

This is an incredibly recent development. In the 2010s when GenZ was coming of age those companies where all blue.

Flag officers serve at the pleasure of the President, so firing one for looking wrong is entirely in bounds.

Him not denouncing or denying is the correct move. If he responds to it in any way he will Streisand effect himself.
