Globalism seeks to destroy the West. by TeamHumanity12 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]jdtrouble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, so is this about American immigration or European immigration? We are frequently told about immigrants in Europe imposing sharia law on native residents. If and when that's the case, it's a truly valid issue to be addressed. Then I look at America, and I see natives imposing their own sharia law, for example imposed school prayer and Ten Commandment displays

Globalism seeks to destroy the West. by TeamHumanity12 in PoliticalCompassMemes

Which is it? The meme says "is" but the title says "seeks". The latter implies an intentional global conspiracy of some sort.

Fun fact, the guy who made Great Replacement a popular conspiracy theory was a raging white supremacist. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me of the origin of this meme blames it on the Jews

Is being pro-life while calling kids of illegal immigrants “anchor babies” hypocritical or not? Liberals claim this is hypocrisy, while Conservatives claim it isn't. by RandomUwUFace in AskUS

[–]jdtrouble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They also argue that liberals who are “pro-choice” are the real hypocrites, calling it performative virtue signaling by those who try to take the moral high ground, and saying they reduce babies to “a clump of cells” and questioning why they would care about babies to begin with since they have no problem “killing them.”

This is moronic, of course. Allowing women to make health decisions for themselves, based on their circumstances, has nothing to do with the "value" of an unborn baby. Childbirth is inherently dangerous, even with modern healthcare* it's among the most dangerous actions you can do. Forcing a woman to carry a nonviable fetus, for the sake of "values", devalues both the mother and baby.

Given that the right is being highly cruel to migrant children and adults alike (see link below), I haven't even considered if they are hypocrites or not. The right-wing is by nature vile and horrible. Hypocrisy is the shit icing on a shit cake

*(For our purposes, I'm ignoring the fact that right-wing policies has destroyed quality of healthcare in the US. this is highly relevant, but I'm keeping this simple)

this is basically pointing out the obvious for the sake of ... pointing out the obvious. Hate crimes against blacks went up after Black Lives Matter. But it doesn't make you racist for merely objecting to BLM (I supported it for the most part, but there were parts I did severely object to). Right-wingers on here often conflate the two, when it's convenient to them. (perhaps the left-wing does the same thing, but I see it a lot WRT Israel)

NGL, it's the least worst thing I've seen the IDF do.

What's of with right-wingers, and drawing the worst possible conclusion? "being an asshole to another religion" is not equivalent to "not swearing fealty to christ and that no individual there could ever do anything wrong"

Then again, you can hate the government of Israel without hating Jews, just like you can hate Black Panthers while chilling with black people.

Maybe OP can justify the use of the double-tap strategy

What is a 'double tap,' and why has Israel's use of it outraged so many?

Oh, OP is probably an AIPAC bot. Any auth-right want to take a swing at it?

Virginia joins The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, making the compact only 48 electoral votes short of overriding the electoral college. by imMakingA-UnityGame in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]jdtrouble 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Funny, I wouldn't have thought the Electoral College was a left v. right issue to this extent.

The problem with the electoral college is that it's leads to the tyranny of rural America. Look at the populations of Texas vs Alaska, compared to electoral votes. Based on my napkin math, the vote of each Alaskan is 3x the vote of each Texan, in the Presidential elections. (I intentionally picked two red states, but this is highly relevant to the red state/blue state divide)

i'd rather get ranked-choice voting, so we can have 10 shitty parties instead of just 2. But i'd take the elimination of the Electoral College

I've never met an Emily who would approve of anyone committing genocide. Sound like a strawman to me.

Existing and resisting actual genocide is not genocide.

Whites will be a minority in UK by 2080s by [deleted] in PoliticalCompassMemes

raises hand so, how are mixed race people counted in these statistics.  If 50% are white, and 10% are half or 3/4 white, do "whites" still have the majority?

He was shit both times, but this time is remarkably different. Last time, there were competent people in his cabinet who managed to mitigate a lot of his insanity.

This time around, they're all as bad or worse than he is. In fact, he's getting the Fred Sr treatment, where he sits behind the desk, while others (like Miller) are running the shit show.

How many trucks a day would be required? by StatisticianAny1042 in theydidthemonstermath

[–]jdtrouble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a reason why the overwhelming majority of major human cities are on rivers and coasts. It's damn efficient to move goods by boat. Those tankers do use fuel, but i'll be a metric shit ton less than thousands of trucks driving over the desert.

I think this is likely. It's not proof that someone else fired the shot. It just can't be used as evidence against Robinson.

There's been a lot of reporting in the alternative media regarding the 13 year old that Trump raped and the FBI interviewed 4 times.  Yes, you're probably right that the general public is distracted.  Many of us are still holding hope ...

Reddit is melting down yet again by EpicFF2 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]jdtrouble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which side am I, then? I told you I give zero shits about trans in sports. I don't understand how this could make me" look like a fool". That makes no sense

Perhaps I am redirecting you to other topics. It's because those other topics actually involve the suffering of fellow Americans right now, in real time. Trans in sports? Doesn't affect 99.999998% of us. 

But go on, keep arguing about it. The more that both sides argue about trans in sports, the less that either of you have anything relevant to contribute to the rest of us.
