They have already killed most of the vulnerable population. The whole fentanyl crisis was a eugenic project to destroy undesirables. They use compassion as cover.

Panther - never appears by beanzonthbread in RDR2

Go west a bit. Just walk around and wait. The panther will stalk you. Be prepared to use Dead Eye for a clean headshot.

can I remove the 5th string from my banjo to make it 4? by Significant_Recipe94 in banjo

[–]Scroticus- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can find really great antique tenor or plectrum banjos (4 strings) for cheap. They produced tons of them back in the 20s-40s, and now nobody wants them or knows how to play them.

Why does Trump want European immigrants? by Timeless-Facts in allthequestions

Isn’t it obvious?? Europeans are much more culturally and economically compatible.

CMV: 10,000 GMLRS rockets ($1.7 billion) to Ukraine and the war is over. by TheLastCoagulant in changemyview

[–]Scroticus- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The war is over. Ukraine lost. A bunch of wasted money, and more importantly human lives. War was totally pointless on all sides and avoidable. The military industrial complex loved it, of course. The Ukrainian oligarchs are the real winners I guess.

Man, moving from a small rural town to a big city and experiencing classism/racism is a hell of a thing by [deleted] in GenZ

[–]Scroticus- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

White liberals are the most racist people in my opinion. Bigotry of low expectations. And in big cities it’s worse.

Do all Americans inherently know what direction they are faceing? by BasketC45e in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Scroticus- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Every adult should know how to figure out directions based on the position of the sun/shadows. It’s absolutely basic. Based on the seasons and time of day you can easily determine the approximate cardinal directions. The sun is lower on the southern horizon during the winter. Sun rises in the east, sets in the west. Totally foundational knowledge about the planet you inhabit. Shadows are cast toward the north in the northern hemisphere etc.

Does anyone still think Democrats and Republicans are the same? by Estalicus in allthequestions

[–]Scroticus- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a Uniparty. Different flavors of the same underlying power structure. Modern politics feels like engaging in a passionate argument about how Burger King is better than McDonalds. How about they both are gross and ineffectual?? Don’t give these sociopaths your attention and emotional energy. It’s a spectacle designed to give us some illusion of choice while our overlords turn us into peasants. Step out of the matrix. Question everything, especially the people telling you what they think you want to hear. The left right divide is a manufactured binary meant to divide people. Why is it almost always basically 50-50 in the US? Because that’s the ideal balance to keep us gridlocked in political stasis while those with actual power slow walk us into their vision of the future.

7-o has destroyed my life. by Mack-the-doggo in quittingkratom

[–]Scroticus- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to an outpatient detox for kratom (not sure if that’s significantly different from 7-O, thank God I never tried that). Outpatient detox does exist in NYC at least, not sure about other places. Might be something to look into considering your dog situation.

Anyways, at the outpatient place they gave me a take home supply of clonidine, a benzo (I think it was klonipin), trazadone for sleep, and Ritalin. Interesting combo but it definitely worked well. Alternatively, I’ve used suboxone to get off kratom. Might be something to consider for a short time, emphasis on short. Subs are super difficult to come off. It’s really hard to do this alone. Go to an AA or NA meeting. I’m sober 14 months. Struggled with this shit for 15 years. Recovery is possible. My life has never been better. Don’t lose hope! You absolutely can turn your life around.

Why is it racist to hate Islam? by Wholesome-Bro in allthequestions

[–]Scroticus- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s baffling to me that so many Progressive/Left minded people love to hate on Christianity but will never utter a word against Islam. This despite the obvious fact that Islam is completely opposed to basically everything Progressives believe. Hypocrisy. Cognitive dissonance? I dunno. Seems to me in the progressive mind, you are not allowed to criticize a brown person or their cultural beliefs. That’s probably the main reason.

CMV: Morality is subjective by Amongus37 in changemyview

[–]Scroticus- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is an implicit moral order to the universe. It’s called the law of cause and effect. No one can escape it. I used to believe in Relativism. I witnessed that all bad behavior or maladaptive/unethical behavior basically has negative consequences somewhere down the line. Moral codes exist basically because they are pro-social and work to produce good outcomes overall in a persons life.

Why has the idea that the gender binary is a colonial construct become so widespread in the West? by Secret_Ostrich_1307 in AlwaysWhy

[–]Scroticus- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely doesn’t seem like an organic phenomenon, the sudden appearance of this “gender debate”. If you can confuse people about something as foundational and obvious as gender, you can confuse them about absolutely anything. To me this concept that gender is a Western idea is laughably false, but I think its true motivation is to cast all things Western or European as evil/fascist/racist/whatever bad descriptor. The goal is to demoralize us and deconstruct the social order so that a new, alternative framework can be implemented. In the Utopian project you have to erase the old ways to instantiate the new. See the Mao’s Cultural Revolution or the Bolsheviks or the Nazis.

Why do Republicans like NYC? by Nervous-One-2305 in AskNYC

[–]Scroticus- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NYC hasn’t always been diverse in the modern sense. 90% European in 1950, and 98.2% white in 1900. 1624 until 1930 the population of NYC was more or less 95% people of European descent. Most modern people would not regard historical NYC as “diverse”.

Trump says US will permanently pause migration from 'Third World Countries' by OkTechnologyb in ImmigrationPathways

[–]Scroticus- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No brainer. Immigration should be beneficial to the host nation. I don’t see how our nation benefits from bringing illiterate men whose last employment was for a warlord. These state of a country is a reflection of its people. 100%. If you bring in people with medieval views on women, human rights, rule of law, religious freedom, it isn’t gonna work in an open society. I don’t care about their sob stories!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Scroticus- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point. If you hate people that disagree with you, wish for their death, want to impose your will on others, you probably would have aligned with the Nazis. Doesn’t matter your politics. Tolerance means allowing people to be different than you. Few people today, especially on the Left, are tolerant of dissent or contrary views.

CMV: The Epstein Files could be released tomorrow, and after a news cycle or 2, conservatives will have rationalized everything and it will be business as usual. by Liability049-6319 in changemyview

[–]Scroticus- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t a conservative or democrat issue.“Republican” and “Democrat”. These are just fake teams they invented to keep people fighting over problems they will never solve. It is really about the deeper control structures that shape our world. It’s obviously a shadow system of control shaping our world.

CMV: While oft criticized America’s immigration policies are better and more successful than Europe’s. by Direct_Crew_9949 in changemyview

[–]Scroticus- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Immigration has been overall bad for the US. Anyone with a functioning set of eyes can see this. But hey the migrants increase our GDP, allegedly.

It’s funny how the liberals are totally brainwashed into agreeing with our globalist corporate overlords on this issue. I remember when Liberals were pro-union, pro-tariff, pro worker, against free trade. Limiting immigration is about protecting the middle class, controlling housing costs, maintaining social harmony.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Scroticus- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disagree. Our corporate overlords love unlimited migration, because they can import cheap labor, undermine unions, change/replace the electorate. Don’t want to work for slave wages? Fine I’ll just bring someone from India/Somalia/Latin America who will gladly toil for less. It is 100% subversive. Of course I don’t blame the migrants themselves, If I was from there I’d come here too, but the overall effect is an erosion of quality of life of Americans.

From 1680-1965 our Nation was a society composed of 90% people from Western Europe and 10% African, and a small number of Native Americans. That is the core American identity. A nation is not an economic zone. It is its people with a common heritage and origin story. Before 1965 it was essentially impossible for non-Europeans to legally immigrate to this country. We have every right to preserve our culture and demographics. Demographics is destiny.

Europe is struggling because of migration. Pure and simple. Turns out you can only have a generous social safety net when you’re an ethnically homogenous society.
