What are they talking about?

 

[The Nothingness]

The "your rights aren't absolute" shit doesn't really hit quite the same when any well-informed person watching Biden talk knows there is absolutely nothing backing his words up and that this is just platitudes for the D.C. constituency.

It looks like slavery's back on the menu, boys!

Keep in mind Kamala Harris tried to use prisoners in CA as cheap labor.

Rights are 100% absolute. They're god given. You keep them no matter what, or else they're not actually rights. The government shouldn't be able to take them away from you if you're naughty, like a parent taking away a kid's toy if they misbehave. Taking away rights is the purest form of evil, because once it's done it's gone forever.

Rights are not important when everything in life is wonderful and peachy. Rights are important when everything turns to shit, that's when you actually need them. Millions of people got their rights taken away because of a mild flu, when they needed them the most. That was evil.

Trudeau taking away Canadian's rights to handguns because a bunch of mexicans got shot in america is evil too. These people are pure fucking evil. The dems are going to try to take away American's rights because they are twisted and evil.

I give you this video:

 

[The Big O]

You're a retard, their were a handful of riots throughout the states throughout the years of the great depression.

Not to mention it went down during the apex of the prohibition era, when booze-running and all the associated organized crime was widespread across the states. It was not a fun time for Americans in more ways than one.

What sre they talking about?

I'm thinking they are expecting the USSC to deliver the Roe v Wade decision on Monday but I don't really get why anyone would be so sure of that. From what I've gathered asking around it doesn't really seem like it's a guarantee.

What did Rousseau do? If you don't mind me asking.

He's often considered the starting point for where the "from each according to his ability to each according to his need" concept in political philosophy went from being a fringe idea rooted in explicitly religious moral systems (guys like the Diggers and Levelers, other early Christian communes) to a trendy secular political ideology. You sometimes see the American and French Revolutions of the late 18th century loosely described as Locke vs. Rousseau, in terms of their underlying political fathers. Once he took off, you see an explosion in the early 1800s of proto-socialist writers (Godwin and Proudhon, for examples) and proto-socialist revolutionary movements, hitting a boiling point with the orgy of attempted revolutions across Europe in 1848... and then Marx. You know the rest, after that.

Disclaimer -- This is all massively oversimplified, but A. so lazy, and B. I could write literal books trying to do this topic justice (I like Enlightenment-era political philosophy), but that would take forever and also see bullet point A.

So I gassed up on the holiday weekend at about $4.95, just drove past the gas station and its listed at $5.60. Guess I won't be doing anything this summer besides stocking up, at the rate gas is increasing things are going to pop off maybe by August.

 

[Honka Honka Burning Love]

That's the point. We don't live in a world where most people don't live in suburbs/cities and can't drive to work. Things were a lot more local when a lot of the population still had to ride on horseback or walk to get anywhere. We didn't have mega-cities or sprawling suburbs comparable to today nor did we have massive truck-delivery systems for keeping supplies up as-needed in supermarkets.

It's an asinine comparison to make to the world we live in now.

There is also things like larger crop yields (even with fertalizer on the squeeze we know more than we did back then and that helps.)

I'd usually just go with the Scottish Enlightenment was good and the French Enlightenment was a mistake and the root of all modern political stupidity and we're still dealing with the after effects of it, which is also a massive oversimplification but I don't feel like it's that far off. It got Germans philosophizing and that was the greatest mistake.

The world of the 1930s ran on oil. Suburbs hadn't happened yet because the idea that blacks have a moral right to burn down cities hadn't happened yet, but goods weren't getting from farm to market in horse-drawn carriages any more.

Wonder if he'll still be singing the same tune about guns when he realizes that this would entail giving the police even more reasons to crack down on blacks.

They're not going to take illegally modified Glocks from niggers. They're going to take rifles from the hated flyover proles. Haven't you learned anything from the past 10 years? Laws are what the left uses to break the people they hate. People they support get exempted.

Watch gas get to $8 a gallon national average then once it drops to $6 in winter Biden will brag how he tamed gas prices.

Both were fundamentally responding to the anti-humanistic arguments of Hobbes and challenging the mandate and utility of the sovereign, by hook or by crook. Both sought to end human subjugation under the thumb of the state, Rousseau was just far more optimistic about the inclinations of a government formed by those who once lived in metaphorical shackles. The man was a romantic, after all. Always hopeful for the future, always wrong.

The naive fantasies of idealists always eventually run head first into the harsh truth of reality.

I mean, he was far more right than most men of his time, and like Voltaire and Locke, he had to engage in a fair bit of hiding and concealment so that he could outlive the sovereign who wanted him dead. It;s just unfortunate that upon decapitating the king, the French nobility found themselves in the unenviable position of having to construct new leadership composed entirely of other French people.

There are also pending 2nd amendment decisions as well.

I posted this in the supply crisis thread but I have heard that northeast farmers are not putting crop in the ground due to input prices (fertilizer & diesel). The short term would be to watch for a spike in milk and egg prices as most of those are still done regionally. Long term good luck with getting cheap meat.

To steal from Yugioh

"OVERU TOPU CLEAR MIND ACCEL SYNCHRO MAGA"

which will allow you to syncrho Summon

DARK MAGA DRAGON
EXTREME MAGA DRAGON
ULTRA MAGA DRAGON
and MAGA DRAGON

into Shit Posting Maga Dragon.

You guys are making some pretty cool yugioh parody card names. Here's my attempt.

Why do you guys think biden is worse than trump? There's people that think trump is worse.

At this point it feels like the fucking floor has dropped out on America. The plug has been pulled on America's industrial soul. A friend of mine has lamented that everything has gotten "darker" in America. (He lives in a college town and every day someone walks into work with a story about how the cops came to their apartment building, or there was a shooting in the area.)

And at this point there is enough evidence that Biden is insanely corrupt that the only "legitimate" concern Democrats have left is "Trump did mean tweets."

Part of me is hoping the economy bursts into flames just to see so these people can see the nightmare they created.

This is still the greatest gun control shit of all time.
