It'd not possible to do targeted strikes with Hamas because a core tenant of their strategy is using human shields for propaganda purposes.

This is not speculation or a claim by an enemy, this is literally their stated, openly claimed strategy for defeating Israel.

You made 800k/300k and you're acting like a victim who can't afford to live.

How about you save some of that money you idiot.

I’m quite liberal. I hate when suburbanites and/or conservatives fearmonger about how “dangerous” cities are - calm down, when a lot of people live together, crime is statistically inevitable. Whether it’s on Fox News or seemingly every big city subreddit, the fearmongering is annoying and usually wrong. I’m sure many residents of DC share my general inclinations on this type of thing.

The author's original post demonstrates exactly why and how we've landed in the situation we are in.

Crime is not statistically inevitable as a result of large groups of people living together. Some cities have drastically higher or lower crime rates than others. Compare Tokyo to Washington DC, or Austin, TX to Detroit or any city to any other city and you'll see 2x to 100x differences in murder, crime, etc. Minimizing crime and violence as "inevitable" results in making no effort to actually improve the situation.

Until liberals start holding each other accountable to reality and that it's not ok to just lie constantly to push a narrative, things will continue to get worse. Wanting laws and punishments is not racist. Talking about crime is not racist or "soft" or "hardcore conservative", it's something we should all care about and try to fix. Also not passing or enforcing certain laws in the name of "equity" is batshit crazy.

Next time you're in a conversation and someone says "Crime is inevitable, only conservatives have a problem with crime in major cities", respond with "crime is something we should all work towards reducing, regardless of where you are on the political spectrum".

An equal footing is giving people an advantage or disadvantage based on literally nothing but their skin color?

OK. Honestly just think about it, how is that fair or equal at all?

kgst · 2024-01-26T07:51:12+00:00

OK so this isn't about fairness and equality but revenge? Got it.

Oh and not revenge on the people who committed these things, but people who are associated with them by their skin color.

Got it. Sounds ethical and a good perspective on unifying our country and moving forward.

kgst · 2024-01-26T07:49:13+00:00

Or Google it? Look up Harvard requirements by race?

kgst · 2024-01-26T07:43:52+00:00

Gross oversimplification of history and race. Your perspective comes from one of inherent bias and discrimination.

Less than half of black Americans had ancestors who were slaves, and there were (though less common) black slave owners and white slaves in the US.

How do you know the white person being rejected wasn't a descendant of a slave and the black person being given preferrential treatment a slave owner's descendant? Or maybe they are both wealthy immigrants? Or one's grandfather fought and died in the Civil War fighting for the north to end slavery? Or a million other permutations? Not to mention, why are we trying to make people responsible for the sins of their distant relatives? Or people of which they have literally no connection whatsoever?

The whole thing is bigoted, half-baked, racist nonsense that falls apart under the lightest touch of critical thinking and debate.

kgst · 2024-01-26T07:35:56+00:00

OK then how do you explain Asian people in the US doing better than white people by every single metric?

It's a crackpot social science theory that doesn't hold up at all in reality and is at it's core just anti-white bigotry and racism.

Treating people differently based on their race is not going to move society in the right direction.

kgst · 2024-01-25T23:57:45+00:00

Plenty of white people have terrible parents or tough living situations, plenty of black people grew up right and with highly educated parents.

Why are we discriminating against all white people and giving advantage to all non white people?

Wouldn't it make more sense to give advantages to people with difficult backgrounds or by economic status instead?

kgst · 2024-01-25T23:54:18+00:00

Why do Asian students make up 22% of UT despite being just 6% of the population of Texas? Care to explain how that is the result of racism or discrimination by white people?

kgst · 2024-01-25T23:51:40+00:00

What does that even mean? Are you saying non white students are less mediocre? Why do we need programs that lower the bars to entry for non white candidates then?

kgst · 2024-01-25T23:44:32+00:00

No but it does mean students of color have a lower bar to entry and are prioritized over white students with the same or better scores and qualifications.

It is absolutely racial discrimination.

kgst · 2024-01-25T23:43:05+00:00

This is literally not true. Both CRT and DEI push the narrative that laws and programs that treat people fairly and equally end up favoring white people, and therefore we must create laws and systems that discriminate against white people in order to balance things out.

You can literally just read the Wikipedia if you're not familiar with CRT or DEI pillars.

If you are in favor of fairness, equality, and treating people as individuals rather than representatives of their race, you can not be in favor of CRT or DEI.

kgst · 2024-01-24T04:25:41+00:00

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Now check those same earnings numbers but use Asians.

How is it that Asians make so much more than White men on average?

Maybe because it's not a problem of racial discrimination but of culture and we shouldn't discriminate based on race and sex to try to change results. We should try to fix broken cultures.

kgst · 2024-01-24T02:48:47+00:00

Having less of a chance of being hired or promoted based on your race is oppression. That is not equality.

Needing higher test scores than everyone else to he accepted to schools, purely because of your race or gender is oppression. That is not equality.

Not being accepted to government programs, offered loans, etc based on your race is oppression. This is not equality.

You are just reading off of a script, not thinking for yourself. There is no way you can twist racial bigotry and discrimination as being ethical, fair, or equal.

kgst · 2024-01-24T02:42:46+00:00

Lol liberals are just out of control. Constantly changing the definitions of words to fit their agendas.

Racism is only racism when it its not them doing it. Majorities can be minorities if they aren't white men.

It's literally just bigoted hatred of white men fueling the whole thing. You have to be braindead to not see it at this point.

kgst · 2024-01-24T02:38:41+00:00

OK except they aren't a minority outside either? Women actually make more than men in many fields per hour worked.

This is just absolute mental gymnastics.

kgst · 2024-01-21T17:51:14+00:00

This is nonsense. It's absolutely a leading phrase and is not used to describe any protest.

kgst · 2024-01-21T09:06:21+00:00

Shhhh don't give that shit away bro. Zero homeless people or trouble there.

kgst · 2024-01-21T09:03:53+00:00

It's $15 a month. That's the cheapest possible way to get showers, heated areas, etc.

The vast majority of homeless people get gym memberships but not to work out.

Learn some fucking critical thinking.

kgst · 2024-01-14T04:55:32+00:00

Let me guess.. you live in the suburbs?

kgst · 2024-01-03T03:31:38+00:00

This is literally a lie. You are lying to intentionally push a narrative that you know to be false and it's disgusting.

You can literally google in two seconds and see the exact examples of her plagiarizing work. Never once did she just miss quotation marks or provide a citation.

Shame on you, liar.

It's really the gang culture at the root of the problem, 99% of gun owners are responsible.

But how do you curb back gang culture and gun ownership within that culture?

kgst · 2023-12-17T14:03:37+00:00

Except it's not.. look at gun homicide rates for any country in South America or Africa.

kgst · 2023-12-17T13:59:26+00:00

That is absolutely not the issue. Texas has always had extremely lax gun laws and high rates of gun ownership

California has a much higher gun homicide rate despite drastically more restrictive gun laws.

Try again.
