They were all about the "woke" movement when it was the going trend and the default to conformity but as soon as people are allowed to be offended by it without social consequence, they are out? Looks like it was all about profit the entire time. You see, the companies pushing the "Socially conscious" virtue signaling angle are no more moral or less greedy than all of the other mega-corporations.

Translation, after a few more posts and the general subject being changed, you will spin it and try to tell everyone that you never said that. This will mean either denying it or twisting the words to try and tell us that you meant to say a less controversial form of it while claiming that we were all just too dumb to read it correctly. I am wholly familiar with the strategies of far left posters. Maybe they are playing a video game or imagining the whole thing in their heads.

He didn't, he explained his saying. He was describing a type of person within the academic community. That is not disparaging to all professors unless you choose for it to be based on your own stereotypes of thinking that they are that way. Now address your controversial comment about 09/11 not being as bad as 01/06 and apologize.

I know that deflecting is your MO, but lets circle back to the primary thing which has everyone seeing you as a nutcase. You said that 01/06 was worse than 09/11. That is beyond a liberal or even a progressive opinion. That is so far off the deep end that it takes away your credibility. Even if 01/06 was to be every bit as bad as the most vocal in the media and left are saying, it still did not have the impact of 09/11. Thinking so displays a lack of awareness beyond your personal thoughts and biases. It also displays an obsessive mindset that looks like being brainwashed or mentally ill to the outsider. I could almost get a brainwashed university kid who wasn't alive then having these delusions, but you have been around long enough to know better. There is no excuse. Before you talk to anyone about anything else, you need to address this comment and apologize to everyone for being so disrespectful to the thousands of victims and their families by minimizing their deaths.

I passed them for being on the far left (which alone makes you imbalanced), but a somewhat decent person otherwise. That opinion changed my mind though. They are either a troll posting satire that took it too far or a person who truly needs mental help.

Thinking that 9/11 is worse than 01/06 = Being okay with a coup Really? You are clearly trolling and intend these posts as satire. That is obvious now. Just owe up to it.

Now I think that your posts are satire. There is no way that a real person thinks this. Even if 01/06 was as bad as the media tried to tell us, it is still a fraction of what 09/11 was. Do you want to tell the family members of the thousands who died on 09/11 that a photo op of a guy in a Viking helmet was worse than the event that not only killed their family members but resulted in the destruction of two buildings in one of the largest cities in the world, led to two subsequent wars and changed the culture of the country forever? Really step back and think about what you are saying. How is someone smart enough to become a doctor so damn ignorant on other subjects? You should be ashamed of yourself. Get a grip and get a life.

It will be tougher here in the US though with the media trying to demonize it as much as possible with panic headlines, comparsions to failed regimes and out of context propaganda based sob stories with individuals to show us why "The policies are cruel and will never work!"

"But but but..it was okay cause they were wearing maaaaaaaasks!" Average lefty in 2020

I never mentioned flamethrowers. I was only talking about your reference to 01/06 as treason. You are just rambling. Talking to far lefties like you is like trying to deprogram someone rescued from a cult.

"Treason" was actually a few FBI plants riling up protestors and inciting a riot. You lefties were able to dismiss this as a "conspiracy theory" for years, but now it is undeniable(despite the pathetic "fact checks" from the media who is still trying to be an extension of the democrats). I agree the FBI was treasonous in this action. But I think that voting for Trump was voting against this treason. We should all celebrate this, especially those lefties who tried to tell us that 01/06 was worse than 09/11 for four years.

I am for some measures such as increase background checks, but no type of ban. There has to be a bipartisan way to look into these shootings and stop them from happening so much which looks at multiple factors and proposed more than "banning all guns". A ban is not that simple because it never factors in the criminals disobedience of the laws or the systems ability to universally enforce it. The problem is that the same party that want to take the guns away from the responsible citizen also want to reduce and remove police forces and put through lax bail reform laws. If any new law comes out, it will be disobeyed by the criminals while less people can defend themselves. I do not trust the same systems that have lets thousands upon thousands of people come in an roam around the country unchecked to properly make sure that every single gun law is being enforced for every person.

I'm sure that there is a rational explanation. This whole drone thing seems like a distraction from something else. What? Who knows, I'm sure that we all could speculate though. If it was real alien contact, I highly doubt that they would be bringing it to our attention like this. After how we all acted during COVID, I wouldn't blame them if they never let us know.

The far left is like a cult. You will not budge them, because in their heads, they really do believe that they are right. They can sound informed and on point as long as they stay on their state sponsored script, and/or cite their cut and pasted memorized propaganda from the top of a scrubbed Google search, but the second that you make them think outside the box or read facts that do not align with that, they panic and either end the conversation, deflect, or most often, resort to personal attacks.

Despite the last two weeks, this team is still more balanced than past ones, just for our running backs alone. The defense is a concern for when the playoffs come around, but for today, they did just enough to win against an elite offense despite a depleted secondary. The only thing that I care about in the next three weeks is staying healthy. The playoffs will be when it really matters.

1) Not everyone who doesn't have TDS flowing out of their veins is MAGA. Get that out of your bitter, narrow minded, head now. You lost in the election because you couldn't do this. The second that you call everyone MAGA, you are a red flag for TDS and lose all credibility. Grow up. 2) Nothing that you say about labor needs is an excuse for letting undocumented people come in unchecked. I don't care how many times you repeat that point, they are apples and oranges. Why should all of those workers not be documented? Tell me outside of not paying taxes or hiding from the law is being undocumented a benefit to non citizens or US citizens? 3) Is every undocumented person from war torn countries? Nope, so drop that argument too. I know that the left thrive in finding one or two extreme circumstance sob stories and having the media make it look like the norm, but lets address the more common cases instead. Lets focus on those who are undocumented and not refugees. 4) You seem very angry. Seriously consider therapy

Agreed, My sister-in-law is from Brazil, came here legally 25 years ago and became a citizen a few years after. The processes that she had to go through to become a citizen were long and rigorous include a few trip to New York CIty to the Brazilian consulate. Their whole family went to Brazil for a couple weeks last year and it took weeks of calls and paperwork to get that lined up. Why do the ones that crossed over illegally feel like they are entitled to bypass that process? Even if they are decent hardworking people, they are still bypassing the legal immigration rules and not paying our taxes. I am for deporting most of them, but for those that want to stay, they should to start the legal process right away and pay back taxes. It is only fair. if they want to be treated like everyone else, that should include paying the same taxes and being subject to the same laws. I have always thought that making the legal process easier (This means less red tape in the process not bogus mass "asylum" workarounds) in exchange for cracking down and deporting those who try to sneak around that process. Every other country in the world has a strict border, why are we "racist" for wanting the same thing?

Although there were less options than a normal late year Saturday, There were still a few choices for college football, college basketball, NBA and NHL. Just because nothing that you personally preferred on TV, Doesn't mean that it was the worst sports day of the year. A lot of that is subjective, if you are not a basketball fan, February is pretty boring, in you are not a baseball fan, July and early August in non-olympic years would be boring. As far as the worst day for the four big sports, it would have to be the days during the all-star break where there are no games at all.

The mess that would have been much bigger if Trump had put through the democrats version of aid package that he was "heartless" according to the media for not approving? Tell me in your opinion, was Trump selfish for not giving more aid like the media said in 2020 or reckless in spending during COVID like they are trying to tell us now? You can't have it both ways. It is sad how the same media that in 2018 told us the Trump was running the economy into the ground for a 2.6% inflation rate, tried to gaslight us into thinking that a 12 percent inflation rate was good for the economy and no biggie "CaUsE iT's GlObAl. and "It WaS DuH CEO"S!!!!"" One of their most prominent examples out of thousands of their double standards in how a president is criticized. You clearly bought into that. but most people are finally starting to see just how biased and lacking in credibility the legacy media really is. Now back to reality, in the real world, 8-13 percent inflation is worse that one or two. You see, that means that the average American is spending more money. Probably not a big deal to the far left elite rich or the people living off the system, but a little more of a big deal to those who work and pay their own bills. This is one of many reasons why the country was so willing to say a resounding no to Harris that they were even willing to take Trump back.

So it turned out to be exactly like the far left's version of the Reichstag fires after all?

This is satire, right? I mean it is just such a way off and unhinged rant that i find it hard to believe that you are serious. I find it hilarious how Obama was a hero for 15 years for coming up with it but as soon as it is starting to be undeniably bad to the point where it can be spun by the media as good and unfavorable to the majority, the narrative is suddenly "It WaS rEaLlY tHe RePuBliCanS!" Very similar to how the media was calling Trump uncaring and stingy for not accepting the bloated version of the Dems stimulus packages in 2020, but then blamed for overspending in 2020 and cause the deficit by the very same people four years later.

They might try to say that the Republican party put through a similar plan in 1993, but it is one of those cases where the media and left try to spin something that is slightly based on a grain of truth as fully accurate, indisputable gospel. If would be like saying that Josh Allen was just like JP Losman because they both had a rocket arm while ignoring the other factors that make them clearly different. The link below explains it better. Use your own judgment based on what is says. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2013/nov/15/ellen-qualls/aca-gop-health-care-plan-1993/ TlDR: The reality is that Multiple bills were proposed including this one which was proposed including one by the more center leaning Republicans with a similar marketplace concept as the ACA, but not really like it otherwise. It wasn't even the one that they picked within the party and most Republicans opposed it. Poltifact says it is half true, but that is being quite generous, to me more like 10-20 percent true Edit: It is also funny how we've been told for over a decade how Obama is the greatest and gets full credit for the plan, but as soon as it is not popular "It was the Repubicians idea", because a few in the party came up with a plan that happened to have a few similarities 30 years ago.

Ever see the media reaction when a gunmen is right leaning? You have no business throwing stones. Rogan and Peterson both lean left, but other lefties just dislike them because they don't have extremest, elitist and authoritarian beliefs. Your main point about some of the shooters favoring sources from both extremes at the same time is valid though.

Healthcare is a crock in this country, but this is never the answer. The fact that wanted posters for other CEO's is even a thought, let alone celebrated by some is a snapshot of how dangerous the extreme left has become. Do they really think that killing someone is going to result in the healthcare industry to say "You know maybe we should stop charging astronomical prices for plans that don't cover anything for the average policyholder and stop big pharma and the medical equipment industries from charging exorbitant prices? If anything, it makes the cause harder.
