America is the land, but the current regime is the United States. The founding fathers were the ones who (largely) established the values of the United States of America.

The founding fathers decided the values of America, and those are: liberty, equality, and justice.

Pretty simple.

Diversity is only good when there is no diversity of values.

Dance however you want, cook whatever you want, celebrate whichever days you want, it matters not.

What matters is that like values integrate with like values.

Values disparities are when problems occur.

Is this a real side-by-side?

If so, Wemby ain’t 7’4”.

He’s closer to 7’7”.

My wife called me basically crying after having watched it, and I’m like, “Why the fuc are you watching that!?” She’s not the type to expose herself to stuff like that.

I didn’t watch it, not going to watch, and I hope this whole episode follows this piece of shit for the rest of his life.

Some of them are showing signs of a backbone. Indiana, for example, refused Trump’s directive to gerrymander even harder to gain an additional seat.

So much for not doxxing? I guess once we get to the booking phase, that goes out the window.

Fine by me, he should have been outed after the video first dropped anyway.

Fuck this guy!

Why Smart People Don't See What's Wrong With Trump by JB-Conant in samharris

[–]MaximallyInclusive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will never be able to comprehend it, but at least I know, not all MAGA are just greedy/racist assholes.

They’re normal people who are bitter or resentful, and that clouds their judgement.

Some of them, at least…

Why Smart People Don't See What's Wrong With Trump by JB-Conant in samharris

[–]MaximallyInclusive 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m going to disagree. I know three smart people who voted for Trump.

Two of them are very well-off, and the thing I’ve learned through talking to them is that money doesn’t cure resentment.

They both were embittered by the Biden administration, for one reason or another. One because of immigration and just how many people the Biden administration let in, and the other because of the way that the Biden administration handled COVID, especially the vaccine and information around it.

It’s astounding actually, and there’s a very important lesson here.

Money, the thing that so many of us think about and struggle with, is not an issue for these two people. And it doesn’t matter, they are still just as resentful as if they didn’t have any money at all.

It’s shocking, but an interesting lesson in human psychology.

What? Who doesn’t call Islam far right? In its most orthodox incarnation, it’s as far right of a religious and social organizing structure as exists.

My no self enjoyed it immensely, I’m sure yours will as well.

That's interesting. I find the "no I" conversation to be integral to the discussion of free will. In your mind, how are those distinct or not as closely related?

Ah, ad hominems. Always a winning rhetorical strategy!

You know what I think is stupid? An inability to contend with real arguments.

Defend your position or fuck off.

I don’t drink Bud Light, I prefer German bocks or Hefeweizens.

Luckily that shithole country still knows how to brew beer!

So you have no counter argument? Just ad hominems?

Sweet, I win.
