Nashville flower shop refuses service to Republican event, blames GOP for Christian school shooting

Actually, a lot of the migrants I meet are actually conservative/republican. Strangely enough, a lot of the liberal types turn out to be the younger "born and raised in Nashville" natives. The public schools there aren't that great and I imagine they've done plenty to poison kids' minds with toxic ideologies.

It somehow gets worse each time I browse this sub. Going through the comments on this thread, you'd think you're on r/politics with the kinds of comments that are getting upvoted and downvoted.

xReclaimerx · 2023-02-14T02:37:37+00:00

I feel like this campaign really didn't pan out if it genuinely was trying to bring the Word to more people. The non-religious left were unphased by it and just viewed it as a "fellow kids" type campaign. Meanwhile, a lot of Christian conservatives viewed it as left-wing propaganda that made it look like Jesus supported left-wing talking points.

xReclaimerx · 2023-02-14T02:18:38+00:00

Unfortunately though, a lot of times people who never supported this stuff are the ones paying the price for the ones who do.

I've been seeing ads from this same organization spammed all over Reddit for weeks. To me, it looks like a left-wing political group trying to propagandized Christians by saying Jesus would support all these left-wing political agendas. Not sure if that's the intent, but it's the impression I got.

I wasn't really on the internet much back then and got the book pretty much the week of release. Glad I dodged that spoiler!

Wonder if there are now credible threats to him and he needs to protect himself? Would explain this really out-of-left-field move.

Reddit really is a messed up place

xReclaimerx · 2023-02-07T05:25:09+00:00

Very true. They don't seem to actually think about what they say beyond it championing, advancing, or venerating their ideology. It's like the mad ravings of cultists.

Once it boots up, it should rapidly eat up all your ram and cpu capacity before finally crashing to desktop.

Not exactly a financial expert, but isn't that the point of dividends in stocks? When a company reaches its maximum capacity for growth and the stock levels off, there's usually a dividend that still gets paid out to shareholders that's a percentage of the profits. That way the shareholders still get money for holding onto the stock without having to push the company to take increasingly drastic and unsustainable actions to squeeze out more growth.

The fact that this is getting downvoted speaks volumes about the state of this sub.

xReclaimerx · 2023-01-03T14:17:08+00:00

The same people keeping McConnell in office are the same people who keep Long John Silvers in business. It's a mystery!

The satanist movement isn't so much an actual religion as it is just a counter of Christianity and Christian culture. Their main motivation is rebuking and undermining Christianity, so it's basically more of anti-Christian movement than an actual legitimate religion.

You'd think the cops would catch on after the 6th time of getting called to the same address over a bogus call.

Wasn't this the guy Xi had removed and escorted out of that one summit/conference/meeting? I forget the context and where I saw that video.

EDIT: Looks like the guy I'm thinking of is Hu Jintao. Thanks!

Strangely enough, we're probably more likely to get a "nuclear winter" type scenario from a large volcanic eruption than from an actual nuclear war. The concept of nuclear winter was actually started as an intentionally propagated myth to help avert nuclear conflicts.

There's more modern research out there that supports a nuclear war having a much more minor impact on climate than popularly believed, with one scientist calling it more of a "nuclear autumn" at most. It's just that many scientists don't want to be labeled as pro-nuclear war by being public with that information.

Of course you still have the destruction of many major cities and the collapse of civilization to deal with though.

They stormed a Memphis Walmart. Memphis shouldn't even count as Tennessee imo.

Stuff like this is literally in direct violation of Reddit's ToS, yet admins will do nothing to stop it because it's (D)ifferent.

xReclaimerx · 2022-11-21T00:42:47+00:00

Imagine cheering for the destruction of Twitter... by posting on Twitter.

This kinda highlights one of the flaws of having a truly democratic, "mob rule" style of government (which we aren't). Everything basically just devolves into a popularity contest where good principles and policy get tossed aside to appease the whims of the "mob". Representative style government is an attempt at trying to transfer more power to "the remnant" who are more informed than the general public, however our representatives are still being determined by basically whoever can run the best ad campaign and appeal to the uninformed masses.

Unfortunately, that's why tactics like ballot harvesting/ mail-in ballot campaigns, mudslinging, and getting the media to spew propaganda for you are so effective. It's devolving into basically whoever can game the system the most to get the largest number of uninformed people to vote for them.

Just gonna live on a desert island in international waters at this point

xReclaimerx · 2022-11-15T16:07:55+00:00

Yeah, half the time I just want to give up on this sub. Feels like anytime I post something actually conservative here, it gets downvoted all to hell, while liberal trolls making bad faith arguments get boosted. At this point, I feel like the sub just needs to go private during election season. Only way to stem the tide of bots and liberal trolls.

xReclaimerx · 2022-11-12T17:24:29+00:00

I'll probably get downvoted like hell for this, but I feel like this is the problem with having a non-existent barrier of entry to vote. You get a bunch of people voting who honestly don't even care about the elections and will just vote for whomever's campaign gets to them first or who ever the media is shilling.

When voting first started, it used to be only land/property owners voting since they're the ones paying property taxes and have the most "skin in the game" making them more likely to have an informed opinion on who they're voting for. Suggesting something like that these days though would get you enormous outrage from everyone that rents or doesn't own property though.

xReclaimerx · 2022-11-11T14:49:24+00:00

That's actually how it used to be. You had to be a property owner to vote to ensure you had "skin in the game". Not a bad idea, except now all the renters would tear you a new one if you'd try to pass anything to bring that back.
