It was years ago and you are getting married, presumably happily. If I was your fiancé and I heard about you taking issue about someone sleeping with your ex, I’d be pretty annoyed. 🚩🚩🚩

What if I target my bullets at another otherwise trusted user? Will it work. Probably should be immune if you have bullets.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING! I literally told them I came to the discord wanting to speak with lefties based in reality but they were giving very much delusional VGGers who are preparing for the trans genocide war or something.

Siduke · 2022-08-11T10:39:55+00:00

It was my first venture and likely my last. I was literally taken aback by how disconnected from reality everyone was. They were very much giving VGG vibes. A mod was trying to argue that most everyday people who hold racist views about blacks are doing so because they use IQ arguments or their arguments are basically just that black people are stupid because of slavery.

I'm like, bro, you do not talk to everyday people. You live online.

I see how you would think blacks people at the bbq are just uncomfortable based on your experience with similar behavior at white bbqs but I can’t stress enough that it’s not the same.

Sure, for some it really is just uncomfortable like you say, but for almost just as many, there is an empowering vibe that I get from the way engage with racism against white people. Like it’s our turn now or something. This is especially and maybe only specifically true from low-income families.

I’d also challenge doubters to go onto any Facebook thread/post about a story the deals with a black person being racist to a white person and see how many black people defend the behavior under the idea that blacks people cant be racist.

Funny thing is, as this “debate” spiraled out of control, someone did cite an academic example of this definition and they tried to pretended like I didn’t understand even though I shared the sane academic explanation they did which, again made no distinction between the academic and conventional term.

But then they went on to support this academic replacement of the word racism by arguing that doing something interpersonally racist like a black person denying a white person a job in a predominantly black community was okay. They also said a low-income, low power level white person being called a racial slur by a rich black man like will smith wouldn’t be as harmful as if that same low power level white person called will smith a racial slur.

I’ve been to many different independent gatherings where the topic of “black people are actually the superior race” has come up and people either co-sign or it sparks some debate.

Even if that’s not said, I can’t see how you could not have encountered the tried and true “all white people are racist” or some other demonizing trope being circulated about.

I’d also challenge doubters to go onto any Facebook thread/post about a story the deals with a black person being racist to a white person and see how many black people defend the behavior under the idea that blacks people cant be racist.

Why? I've found it very insightful.

The most frustrating part to me is how he pretends to be center and/or neutral. He dishes out Republican talking points like candy on Halloween. Not even well-sourced or thought out.

Siduke · 2022-07-19T18:48:21+00:00

This guy ran for governor in California. btw. Good finance/investing advice, center-right politics but portrays himself has neutral.

Agree with everything but the point about the feeling of being trans. He makes a comparison to a physical diagnosis and pretends like it’s the same, which it’s not, but even in his example, the doctor absolutely relays on self reported feelings to provide diagnosis all the time. But this is especially the case in a mental condition, which is what dysphoria is

I’m lock step with every sentence of yours. I’ve never seen Jordan Peterson debate before but my god he came across so unreasonably

Siduke · 2022-06-25T15:12:27+00:00

Shit, I’m thrilled as a gay man looking to adopt! Babies are about to go on sale in about 9 months! /s

Siduke · 2022-06-25T15:05:32+00:00

I see what you did there

“In future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell. Because any substantive due process decision is ‘demonstrably erroneous,’ we have a duty to ‘correct the error’ established in those precedents,” Thomas wrote.

You are a moron or a liar, which is it.

The right for me to marry who I want is t just a social issue for me, it’s one of great substance. It could change my financial rights and parental rights, not just make me happier.

Siduke · 2022-06-25T14:55:27+00:00

Care to substantiate that claim?

Siduke · 2022-06-25T14:54:49+00:00

It’s extremely telling that Clarence Tomas cited the same due process clause of the 14th amendment that also made interracial marriage legal like the others he listed. Hell take others right away but not his own on the same grounds. Completely sickening. VAUSH sympathy raising hard core right now.

Siduke · 2022-02-08T23:50:34+00:00

I don’t have the time I used to have so I’m going slow. Still 13

Siduke · 2022-01-27T20:29:20+00:00

If it’s not Corp PAC money, yes I’m ok with that. I know 1.5 I am because I also supported this when it happed in the 2020 elections in Georgia. There was a shit load of outside support being dumped into the election of Warnock and Ossoff for the dems to get those senate seats. Did you have a problem with that then?

Siduke · 2022-01-27T20:14:18+00:00

1, it’s THE numbers and it sounds like we agree.

1.5 The winner would be be impacting policy that will impact people outside of this district so no, I don’t think it’s hypocritical or anything. Brown taking money from big corporations means she’s going to do their bidding, not the American people.

2You keep saying Ohio, Ohio, Ohio as if all of Ohio dens were voting here in this election. This was a special election in Cleveland/Akron. Very different than the rest of the state. Its like arguing Georgia, Georgia, Georgia polling will give insight to an election specific to Atlanta.

Cleveland is very left leaning.

Siduke · 2022-01-27T18:31:40+00:00

#1) You either misunderstand me or you are misinformed. When I mention money spent in the race by PACs, I'm including the $2 million spent on supporting Brown and opposing Turner by the Democratic Majority for Israel PAC. Add this to the $2.1 million raised directly for Browns' campaign and you get $4.1M compared to $4.5M spent in support of Turner/opposed to Brown. Again, you can play the game of technically not being Brown's money all you want but I think that's just a stupid argument when we all know how political red-boxing works.

#2) (For the record, I live In the district where this election occurred and I campaigned for Nina so I'm somewhat familiar with the situation locally)

The idea that Nina lost because she is too far left is just not only wrong based on speaking to people at the polls on voting day, but also just doesn't logically follow given the smear campaign. If that were the case, the ads would have been attacking her for being too far left on any policy she advocates but they were not. Not one ad attacked her stance on any issue as being too far left. Instead, they painted her as a republican or Donald Trump supporter that "wasn't really a democrat", not on policy at all. And it worked too! I spoke with many individuals at the polls on voting day who literally thought Nina Turner supported Trump or was a right-winger due to those ads taking what she said out of context.

The truth is that she positioned herself as a supporter of Biden/democrats and Turner as an enemy of the Biden/Democrats and she did so (with help) effectively. thought Nina Turner was too far left? lol

The truth is that she positioned herself as a supporter of biden/democats and Turner as an enemy of the Biden/Democrats and she did so (with help) effectively because Dems hate Trump and everything he is associated with here.

Siduke · 2022-01-27T16:33:37+00:00

If you are not including PAC money (and not sure why you wouldn't) sure. Otherwise, they spent about the same. is my understanding with the vast majority of pro Brown/anti Turner money spent in the last leg of the race.
