As what often happens when people who aren’t white and male try to join these sorts of country clubs, they have to be even more extreme in order to prove they’re “one of the good ones.”

Edit: spelling

Next they’ll be wanting jobs, to own property and to wear trousers too!

I 100% misunderstood you. Apologies, my mistake.

I’m glad to hear that trump has said that he’ll stop arming Israel and will end israels illegal occupation of gaza.

Well, i mean, he must have or else the above would just be some of the lowest sophistry you might ever have the misfortune of reading.

A perfectly good meme but I would say it might still presume a little too much good faith.

They’re not undecided. They want to vote for Trump and are desperately hoping for a socially acceptable reason to do so.

I have nothing to hide. I also have nothing I want to show people either

Exactly, they couldn’t possibly be anything like kings.

You see, the small group of ultra wealthy people in America who control the government and make the laws, due to their hereditary power and vast holdings, aren’t from the Aristocrstic region of Europe or the Oligarchy region of Western Russia.

So, its a totally different thing. Although, I was a little confused when I first heard about Bush II or that something the Kennedy dynasty could exist. Luckily, I saw a play all about it in the Rockefeller Palace in new York, not far from Trump’s.

In the history of politics

They do realise that there were political ads during the suffragette movement, right?

Your viking analogy is bizzare. Not that many people know that vikings didn’t actually wear anything like that in battle, unlike how everyone knows Jesus was a homeless middle Eastern man and, depsite this, continue to draw him as northern European. More so, vikings are known for wearing those helmets. Jesus isn’t known for being a white man. Why? Because Jesus wasn’t white man and isn’t know for it.

Youre really starting from where you want to end up and working your way back. Theres no cogent justification for it, as much I enjoy people trying to sell me an appeal to tradition, with extra steps.

Imo, you deserved better than that.

Also, an okay-ish self depicting gag is often a good off ramp, if there’s no genuine ill will between people. I usually take them, as it keeps things light.

Not being horrible. I just wish someone had told me stuff like that. I’m not saying you’re young. Im just saying, I have too many grey hairs for your mom jokes.

But, If it makes you feel any better, I wish I wasn’t too old for them too.

Jokes on you. I’m wet from both.

Oh, is that what that thing was? I wondered why i kept getting wet.

You would have to define how you’re using “have to” here. I mean, I wouldn’t try to come and attack you for neither agreeing not disagreeing with a subject you still managed to have such strong a need to inject in.

Partly because you might be bigger than me but mostly because I generally only see doing that as soemthing I strongly frown upon, in even the most severe of cases. I’m not particularly keen on forcing people to do anything, in fact.

Really, though only you can answer that question.

I’m glad we agree that our lives are probably better now than they for the people who literally had to live in caves, thousands of years ago, though. Thank you for including that important point.

Lol, its not that I didn’t understand or that I missed it. It’s that I disagree that its a cogent reason.

When I was young, I used to draw pictures of people with stick bodies and round heads. They were also often bright or powder pink in colour. I propagated the shit out of that too.

Then, when I found out that wasn’t the correct way to draw people or the natural colour of human skin, I stopped drawing them and colouring quite so comedically ridiculous.

Why can’t the people who draw Jesus manage this?

Work has never been so unstressful, if you look back at the history of mankind.

I agree that it was even worse before. Although, I’m a little puzzled as to what point is being made. Are you agreeing with me or not? I can’t tell.

Industrialization killed workers with 60 hour shifts in unsafe environments. Middle ages made you work 18 hours a day once you were 7 and made you starve if the harvest was bad. In the stone age your family died from hunger after you got killed on the hunt.

Life expectancy was never as high as today.

Looking back at what I wrote, what point is all this agreeing with or refuting?

To me, it seems like you’re arguing that the passage of time is a good thing. I don’t remember saying that the passage of time wasn’t good.

I know what you mean, when I put to nazis and bigots, through various civil discourses, the most agreeable and cordial justifications for their systematic capture and extermination or deportation, to my great surprise, they never acquiesce to any form of intellectual exchange, regarding the legitimate concerns I raise.

Its the most bizzare thing because, just previously, they’d been more than happy to declare thus and so the most polite and reasonable argumentations supporting the very same thing for other people. More so, they many were lamenting how unfair it was for them to be denied the opportunity to pontificate on such matters, just a short time previously.

I’m sure you can only imagine my surprise when they did this, after their claims of wanting nothing more than “civil discourse.”

We should build some kind of a moat around the UK. If we manage that, while not full proof, I have no doubt that banning it in the UK will be easier to do than somewhere without a moat.

OK, so why did they persist with it for all the centuries in between and still to this day?

I hope so

Here’s a thought excersise that I hope you feel free to take as rhetorically as you wish:

Can you think of a time when it was “real” capitalism ^^^^tm and not crony capitalism/ forgiving socialism for the rich and robust free market capitalism for the poor?

Personally, I can’t and I don’t think anyone can name a time that that it was, that would stand up to any scrutiny.

If there was never a time that it could have existed, then It was always a lie.

Just to be clear in right behind you 99%. I may be wrong but feel that if you were to look into that area, you would likely come to the same conclusion as me.
