  1. Yeah, they get paid too. I get that. But once you get to the playoffs you’re facing the league’s top defenses (7 of 8 divisional round teams last year were top 12 in ppg allowed, including 5 of the top 6). I’m not sure that Brady really has the chops tbh. Being the OC for possibly the best college football squad ever isn’t quite the feather in the cap that everyone thinks it is. I’m not sure how many football people would actually ***** up Burrow, Chase, and Jefferson on the field together.
  2. So the Bills offense has been dominant for little over half of the season. Against tomato can defenses. Just to be clear.
  3. Your *legal* immigrants who get low interest loans from government DIE programs to buy small businesses and then price gouge your kin during times of disaster.
  4. It's the simplest method of finding out whether a person is good enough to live in modern society. You gain nothing by returning the shopping cart. In fact, you lose some fraction of a minute by returning the shopping cart. It does not benefit you in the least. But it is easy and is objectively the right thing to do. So really the motivation for returning the cart can only come out of how good of a person you are. On the other hand, you lose nothing by not returning the shopping cart. You are unlikely to be personally affected by not returning the shopping cart. There is no law against not returning the shopping cart. It's just that not returning the shopping cart is objectively the wrong thing. Therefore you are a bad person for not returning the shopping cart. In short, the people who don't return shopping carts are the reasons why the government must have the power to imprison and kill people. Their only motivation to do the right thing comes from the end of a gun.
  5. Yeah if we're going to talk about Americans being neglected for the sake of a foreign nation Israel pretty much always tops that list. I hate the aid to Ukraine but anyone talking about that is just suffering from recency bias.
  6. Someone recently responded to a reply I posted in the thread about Murderin' Marcellus, expressing disbelief and consternation at the notion that the concept of "anti-racism" is essentially a set of lies. While I am unsurprised that this particular board member embraces the aforementioned concept, I thought it would be useful for those who might find themselves aligned with conservative values of various stripes to understand what is actually meant by the term, and why opposing it is good and right. Whenever we critically approach what leftists claim is obvious or reasonable (when in fact it is neither), it is important to understand how the term was generated (that is, its genealogy, so to speak) and how it has been framed. Conservatives are generally bad at recognizing leftist framing and have readily adopted quite a bit of leftist language into their talking points, which concedes at least some portion of the leftist worldview. For a primer on framing, you can go here, but the tl;dr is that certain concepts or words have been designed through their construction and/or through priming to elicit an emotional response. In this case, you have been primed to believe that "racism" is wrong and evil (in fact, you may have heard that it's America's first and greatest sin). Therefore, you have been primed to believe that anything that is against racism must be right and good. The naming of the leftist concepts discussed below as "anti-racism" (aka "against racism") is thus a frame job designed to elicit positive emotions before you even know what the term actually means. To demolish the leftist frame and address the ideas hiding underneath them, you must trace the idea back to its source, consider the source, and consider whether adopting the idea has resulted in our country, or your life, being better or worse as a result. "Anti-" is just a prefix, so we first should examine the genealogy of the term "racism" and how it entered western consciousness, then focus on how once the people were thoroughly primed to recoil at even the mention of "racism," "anti-racist" was adopted by leftist agitators as a frame for their ideas that you would unwittingly accept simply because it's anti- that emotion you felt at the mention of "racism." The term "racism" is much younger than you probably think. First instance of the term in English is from the early 20th century, but both the common usage and modern understanding of racism began in the 1930s with the translation from German of Magnus Hirschfeld's book titled Racism. First, considering the source: Magnus Hirschfeld was a 19th/20th century jewish "sexologist" who (in)famously founded the "Institute of Sexual Research" in Weimar-era Berlin. This so-called institute facilitated the first "sex change" surgeries in Europe and helped drive the depravity of Weimar Berlin. For those not in the know Luigi Barzini describes that time like this: In short, like every other "pioneer" of modern gender or sexual theory, Hirschfeld is tied through his own words and works to some combination of genital mutilation and/or pedophilia. How many ideas of his should we really be adopting? It is worth noting further that though Hirschfeld's work was essentially the genesis of the modern understanding of the term "racism," its usage is fairly small until, big surprise here, the mid-1960s, when known communist agitators who worked tirelessly to begin the transformation of the United States from a proper nation to a failed state experienced their highest concentration of major successes (you can see the ngram here). Then came the add-ons: now there's structural racism, institutional racism, internalized racism, etc. all of which consist almost entirely (at first in academic circles, now in the mainstream) of circularly reasoned blood libel against Whites. In fact, research shows that Whites in America have the lowest in-group preference of any racial group. White animus toward a racial group simply as a result of their race as a problem, if it ever actually was a problem, fizzled out long ago. Black animus towards Whites, on the other hand, is quite a different story, as the interracial murder stats tell us year after year. Which brings us back to "anti-racism." Wikipedia will attempt to tell you that the roots of it go back to the 17th Century, though that is impossible given that words have meanings and the term "racism" hadn't even been invented yet. Mainstream sources will also gloss over the direct statements of those who actually theorize around anti-racism, instead priming you to believe that it simply is the reasonable response to the made-up sins of the various racisms. The term anti-racist was actually coined by the Black Panther Party (Leninist by admission) during the aforementioned 1960s, whose stated demands included that zero black people should ever be held responsible for crimes they may commit. Anti-racism for Whites includes the idea that Whites "must acknowledge and understand their privilege" (blood libel) and recognize that our entire society is, in fact, "White supremacist." It also includes the idea that any system, test, or other objective measure that has unequal racial outcomes (that is, that blacks do poorly in) is by definition racist (evil!!!). Therefore anytime Whites do well, it's due to racism, it's Whitey's fault, etc. meanwhile black underperformance can never be the fault of blacks (remember, crime stats are racist, IQ tests are racist, the SATs are racist, etc.). The system that "anti-racists" wish to design is one in which Whites have no authority, but all of the responsibility. Which is a succinct definition of slavery. Is this what we should want for our children? In other words, stop calling leftists "the real racists." Instead you should reject, categorically, terms imported by communists that your ancestors did just fine without. And laugh at them when they call you names invented their intellectual heroes (sodomites who liked to chop off genitals and ***** little boys).

  7. The empathy map is undefeated
  8. Oklahoma parole board members include: Mental health counselor Episcopal (that is, apostate from Christianity) "Bishop" Criminal defense attorney Social worker lol, lmao The lefty worship of black murderers would be funny if it wasn't civilizational suicide.
  9. Zero shot. He's been working with the feds for years and they burned him anyway. He has no leverage. A US Attorney is currently over the moon that this fool played right into their hand. Also no shot. They hit him with the RICO beef. Everything that was his is now the fed's: That's fed speak for "Civil asset forfeiture order go brrrrrr"
  10. They really aren't, even leaving aside the Christian principle that Jesus is God, and therefore inspired the entire Bible. Whoever catechized you should probably be excommunicated just because they produced you as a son in the "faith."
  11. Do you think this fellow Marcellus was not given this chance in the 20 years since his conviction? Not to mention the years before that? Paul explains in the very same book that God calls the state to act as an "avenger" and a "terror" to those who do evil. John 8 (presumably you're speaking of the possibly apocryphal story of the woman caught in adultery) describes Jesus rightly seeing the situation as a trap laid by his political and religious enemies, not a discourse against capital punishment. The mandate of the death penalty predates Moses and, in fact, even the founding of the people of Israel in the chronology of the Bible. This sort of sad sack, wimpy, "Enlightenment" focused Christianity is exactly why there are very few men my age and younger, even those to the right of me, who would waste their time attending church on Sunday. Why on earth would I go to church to hear the same drivel (feminism, anti-racism, tolerance, multicult, criminal justice "reform") that was heaped on me through over a decade of public "education?" I know that sort of garbage is all lies, and if a so-called "pastor" would lie about these things, who knows what greater matters (matters supposedly about the fate of the eternal soul) he's lying about?
  12. It’s only hypocrisy if the preborn child in question also committed capital murder. Do you know of any such cases?
  13. It was a decision made by a jury of 12. A state’s attorney has no right to overturn it.
  14. Ah, antinomianism. There truly is nothing new under the sun.
  15. You once again show your ignorance of what is supposedly your own religion, regardless of what your false pontiff might state. In Christianity, the death penalty is required of the state by God.
  16. “Pro life” means anti abortion. A 10 week pre born is worth more than the guy who was rightfully executed last night. Hope this helps.
  17. They really expect us to believe that he robbed this woman but someone else just happened to murder her on the same night. Lol Rest in piss.
  18. He’s 5’4”, lower middle class, endowed like a mouse, and rapidly approaching old age. I think the “new family” ship sailed a while ago.
  19. Not just constituencies, but almost the entire population of those who benefit from their patronage. In a very real sense, the Democratic position is to subsidize and reward domestic terrorism and criminality directed against their enemies. Criminal justice "reform," "banning" guns, narcotic legalization, unlimited importation of third world invaders, and a host of other policies demonstrate this point.
  20. Roundy wants you to think the book was panned because it was false, and also happened to be racist. Fact is, The Bell Curve was panned because it goes against Roundy’s religion. The heritability of intelligence is one of the only facts found through psych research that stands up through the replication crisis.
  21. Actually you should read this and infer why nations fail.
  22. Couple of things here: 1. You do not bring a taser to a knife fight. 2. The knife came out after unsuccessful deployment of a taser. NYPD is a mess and hiring is ***** so we're going to see more of this. But shooting someone who pulls a knife on you is not escalation of force. It's matching force.
