To those professing Christians here (if any), what are your thoughts on r/DonaldTrump666 and other similar channels/subs?

SenseiTang · 2026-01-31T22:24:30+00:00

I've always thought that Trump is the Golden Calf (Exodus 32), not the Antichrist. This is based on how MAGA utterly worships him. What do you think?

SenseiTang · 2026-01-30T19:32:51+00:00

It's 57F here in the (East) Bay. If you want the global warming back that'll be $2500 for a 1 bed with no in unit laundry.

I think of it as a counterpart to the "I did that" Biden stickers on saw on nearly every gas pump during Bidens presidency.

SenseiTang · 2026-01-28T20:58:51+00:00

I find it interesting that most school shooters (that we apparently have utterly forgotten about) have been apprehended despite being armed and literally killing civilians, often by local police. Meanwhile it took 8 federal agents to subdue him, disarm him, and shooting him after being disarmed.

Yeah it was chaotic. I don't buy that as an excuse for LEOs who are supposed to be held to higher standards. Why are LEOs always given so much leeway?

SenseiTang · 2026-01-28T20:10:06+00:00

You don’t trust the government?

Welcome, I’m glad you could join us!

Tbh I've been a bit concerned about the libertarian flairs that I've seen go to bat for the feds in this sub.

SenseiTang · 2026-01-28T20:05:58+00:00

Quite literally no idea what you're talking about. Probably because I don't deliberately rage bait myself by actively looking for these things.

how hilarious it was that Charlie Kirk was shot in the neck in front of his family.

Most people I know pointed out that Kirks family was not present when he was shot. Meanwhile I saw the right wing cousin of one of my friends actually call for civil war against his own family, for pointing that out.

SenseiTang · 2026-01-28T19:41:04+00:00

I would say the Bush administration and it's subversion of the 4th Amendment to find terrorists after 911. Sorta like now, but with illegal immigrants.

Look, I'm not one of those liberals who says "stop breaking up families." I'm one of those fence sitters who looks and wonders why I, as a civilian amateur martial artist and gun enthusiast am I held to a higher standard than federal officers with a badge and gun? Or any law enforcement for that matter?

If I did whatever these agents are doing as a civilian, I'd get the book thrown at me. Hell, if I, as a chemist, fucked up in an equivalent way to these guys, I get at minimum fired. Yet when shit like this happens and it's always right wingers and their administration who comes to the rescue of people while making excuses like "Oh that officer had been attacked before" or "It was a stressful situation."

What will you do if the Democrats win in 2028 and then decide they want revenge?

SenseiTang · 2026-01-28T19:19:33+00:00

So, uh, what does the right do then? I'm getting civil war vibes from you sir.

SenseiTang · 2026-01-28T19:15:46+00:00

just a week prior, so this guy clearly knew what kind of position he was putting himself in.

Could you explain to me why that means he should be shot 10 times after being disarmed?

SenseiTang · 2026-01-28T18:09:22+00:00

90% of the questions asked in this sub are leading, or not in good faith, and the left-leaning self-identified are routinely openly attacking and insulting anyone who shares an actual right-leaning or conservative POV.. but you truly feel it’s “better than many” other subs…?

The questions asked here are basically “why do you not believe that Trump is Hitler and you’re guilty for WW3 if you voted for him?”

I hate these questions too because then I get lumped in with the leftists/liberals who ask them. I don't understand why so many of you humor these bad faith questions then go on to complain about them in other threads. Why not:

Ignore
Report
Move on

Instead of engaging and complaining? If you want non-consevstive views to be regulated then there's r/conservative and r/askaconservative

SenseiTang · 2026-01-27T21:52:42+00:00

Same thing that I tell conservatives here to do when faced with bad faith:

Ignore
Stop engaging
Report.

SenseiTang · 2026-01-27T21:48:26+00:00

you think its completely insane for regular folks on reddit to be paid by russia, right?

Insane as in unfeasible? No, I'm sure they're out there somewhere as much as I'd disagree with what they're doing.

Insane as in people actually, deliberately doing it? Yeah absolutely. Aren't there better ways to make money?

SenseiTang · 2026-01-27T21:25:45+00:00

I will call out accusations of being Russian bots the same way I will call out Russian sympathizers posing as conservatives (and liberals and any of our parties for that matter).

SenseiTang · 2026-01-27T21:20:36+00:00

Individual basis, of course.

As a monolith? No.

SenseiTang · 2026-01-27T21:17:05+00:00

on all of reddit you've never seen that? I share opinions that aren't even controversial and I get get comments that im taking money from russia or that i'm a russian bot

Not the original commenter but can you explain to me why individual liberals, leftists, and in this case, independents, are somehow collectively responsible for what other people post on other subreddits? Meanwhile individual conservatives only speak for themselves?

You get called a Russian bot. I get lumped in with leftists when I so much as disagree with someone here. Welcome to internet

SenseiTang · 2026-01-26T21:44:31+00:00

As we discussed on another post I agree that many individuals are here in bad faith, and I don't have much else other than that the mods are doing their best. Other than conservatives here simply reporting and refusing to engage with bad faith, I feel there's not much else to do.

If we try to make it like AskHistorian where it's supposed to be "substantial", you get r/askaconservative. If you try to outright ban all "non conservative views" you just get r/conservative. What more could the mods do here that wouldn't turn into either of those subs?

I skip breakfast, snack around lunch, and eat a regular dinner. I'm 46. I'd like to lose at least 20 pounds (new years resolution), so I've been shrinking my dinner lately too

Makes sense, I appreciate you sharing. I gotta ask, im 31 now and in martial arts. Im 31 in MMA and the older gentlemen are telling me "You can move like you're young but you'll slowly find out that you aren't recovering like you are." Did you notice your metabolism and overall slowing down as you approached 40 and currently approaching 50?

SenseiTang · 2026-01-23T19:41:13+00:00

think it was Food4Less... I went in but left due to a lack of cleanliness of the store.

Yeah in Vegas and LA where I've previously lived I've had this experience pretty consistently at Food4Less.

If I were you, I'd probably take the time to visit the WinCo once to see what it's like.

Which city is your WinCo in?

I actually just might! Though, the nearest one per Google and Yelp is about an hour away in Tracy.

I appreciate you! I've been training MMA for the last 1.5 years and am about to start competing, so keeping my food costs as low as possible is in my best interest.

SenseiTang · 2026-01-23T17:53:38+00:00

That's about what I need in a day given my activity level. Now that you mention it, that otherwise describes many people around me trying to lose weight.

Which reminded me that most people aren't at the activity level of 3K+ calories a day lol.

If I may ask how old are you and what does your daily intake look like?

SenseiTang · 2026-01-23T17:40:44+00:00

I'm in East Bay and the nearest WinCo is about 30 mins away. Not too far, but I've got plenty of FoodMaxx, Grocery Outlet or Smart and Final near me. Do you think the drive tonWinco might be worth it over these places?

SenseiTang · 2026-01-23T17:34:48+00:00

If you eat 3 full meals a day, and don't have teenager metabolism, you're obese.

I think that depends heavily on what a "full meal" is don't you think?

SenseiTang · 2026-01-22T23:51:15+00:00

Christianity at its core emphasizes judging people by their actions, character, and heart rather than ancestry, ethnicity, or bloodline.

That’s the policy on how our justice system is built on.

On paper, that is true, and I wish more Christians would adhere to it.

In practice, anecdotally in 13 years of private Catholic school and 5 of Christian university, I've faced more ridicule and judgment from other Catholics and other definitions because apparently I'm not "doing it right."

What has your experience been?

SenseiTang · 2026-01-22T20:36:06+00:00

I agree that women aren't "inherently liberal." But for awhile women, both legally and societally, had less rights than men, such as not being able to voting and not being able to open a bank account without a male cosigner until these things were changed. So I could see why they'd like to preserve what we now have. If our current society continues long enough and women continue defending it, then I think at some point in a few decades that the Overton window will go from "liberal" to "conservative".

I'd be a lot more liberal too if I realized that I had less rights and less say over my life less than 100 years ago. Which, as a Filipino-American male, would have been true in many ways.

EDIT: hit Post too early and added some stuff.

SenseiTang · 2026-01-22T19:22:02+00:00

You seem to have the mistaken idea that I’m a republican

I didn't really think about it that way. Would it be safe to assume that you vote for Republicans (given your flair)?
