If you punch your bully, they win.

Guess Biden or at least the person who runs his social media is intent on pushing all of his pie in the sky stances in the last few days he has before Trump gets in.

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

Great. Now we have precedent for banning Kiwifarms. Let's go!

Kiwifarms is not owned by the Chinese government.

This is not a good thing, I hope Trump steps in and fixes this. I don't like tiktok, but i think it's short sighted to ban it.

I get the point that it's a slippery slope, but I think that Tiktok is a special circumstance because the company is directly owned by a government that is adversarial to the US.

The ones that were the bullies openly gaming it?I think if they were smart enough to know how to game it they would also be smart enough to know it's not correct.

Criminals will see any system that benefits them as correct. That is why they are criminals.

Browbeaten victims will be socially pressured into accepting this system as correct. We've already seen this play out in the reaction to Kyle Rittenhouse and Daniel Penny to see that yes, people do imbibe this ideology and abide by it.

Zero tolerance policies in schools are the physical manifestation of teaching children that self defense is wrong and you need to not fight back or you're just as bad as your abuser. It also reinforced the idea that authority should have a monopoly on justice even when that authority is inept, apathetic, lazy, and hateful of your existence.

It pounds into young minds the idea that you cannot stand up for yourself and you need to suffer violence being done to you until the authorities arrive. It is the epigenesis of liberal thought re: crime, gun ownership, and justice.

Young minds are impressionable and while some will see through the sham of ZT as you and I did, many will metabolize it as correct and you see this with the millennials who were immersed in such school policies.

Look at how many millennials thought putting criminals in jail was mean and that restorative justice was needed instead of actual justice. This is how schools punish children. It reinforced this idea that any sort of actual consequence was unfair and that the victim and the man who just pushed him into an oncoming train should just make up and get along. Look at Daniel Penny for how this thinking manifests.

Its also a cop out for lazy administrators not wanting to make judgement calls.

Though I guess, that above sentence can no longer be true, when almost every school district in America did something unthinkable.

Which was telling parents to go fuck themselves.

I always thought the schools feared the parents but during Kung Flu, all these schools telling parents that buttsex indoctrination was here to stay, their hill to die on.

Also batman morality has been a disaster.

Makes marvel morality more preferable, which is that Thanos was based and dindu nuffin wrong in Infinity War. Endgame never happened and was a cope to stop him.

This is not a good thing, I hope Trump steps in and fixes this. I don't like tiktok, but i think it's short sighted to ban it.

I think that it should be Congress fixing this.

And SCOTUS refusing to step in, is probably a way of telling Congress to unfuck it.

Since Congress started this whole mess with their short term thinking in including it in one of the NDAAs.

The childish temper-tantrum he's throwing on the way out is embarrassing.

Cases like kyle rittenhouse are less tied to that more tied to how nobody actually looks at the actual info of shit anymore and most that do choose to run with a narrative to net social clout with companies. We're living in a time where people literally pay you to call things racist and you can make bank off it which should really be a tell of sorts of the current state of things we've been in the last like 7 to 9 years depending what part of the world/industry you are in.

Did he really pardon 2,500 people today? (A)

Jesus fuck.

Nothing better than an opinionated person about things they know nothing about.

This is not a good thing, I hope Trump steps in and fixes this. I don't like tiktok, but i think it's short sighted to ban it.

Remind me, who started this? Hint hint, it wasn't Biden.

Means nothing:

On January 17, 2025, President Joe Biden declared the Equal Rights Amendment to be the law of the land, stating: "It is long past time to recognize the will of the American people. In keeping with my oath and duty to Constitution and country, I affirm what I believe and what three-fourths of the states have ratified: the 28th Amendment is the law of the land, guaranteeing all Americans equal rights and protections under the law regardless of their sex." The declaration has no formal effect, however, and the National Archives have said they do not intend to formally add the amendment to the Constitution.

Six states (Nebraska, Tennessee, Idaho, Kentucky, South Dakota, and North Dakota) have retracted their ratification and the original 1972 proposal had a seven year deadline, which was illegally extended another three years.

Haitians are an easy sacrifice, H1Bs are not. Look at the RW influencers on Twitter this week telling people to work at Panda Express. Walsh, Cernovich, Rufo etc have gone from “learn to code” to “learn to fast food” with zero hesitation. Despite the intense reactions, well reasoned arguments, and ample proof these men have only doubled down.

Many right wing influencers have deep seated hosility to people that do remote work or work from home as well.

Rather than defunding urban shitholes and hoping they die, these lot are trying to save these shitholes from their inevitable demise.

So something new could arise and better than this shiet.

He did, yes:

He plans to pardon more people still

Zero Tolerance didn't create wokeness. It created people who despised authority and feared it. It only psy-oped people to bending the knee.

What created wokeness was fucking Yuppie 90s parents moralfagging the absolute fuck out of their children. They didn't have the advantages of having knowledge at their fingertips like we do and the scope of what they understood about the world was very limited. So they were fully willing to buy into ideas they didn't understand because they didn't have the knowledge to counter them. I couldn't just Google what Hillary Clinton's policies were. It required a lot of effort to find out. So if I were to tell anyone that Hillary Clinton is a fucking sociopath hellbent on world domination, I looked like an absolute lunatic because the 5 other people at the table heard on the news that Hillary is a good politician. You couldn't just say look up her policy voting history. It's not possible. These people were completely in the dark about things so manipulating these people's emotions into believing something completely false was remarkably easy. The reason wokeness won is because 90s kids had parents that were easily emotionally manipulated, so they became easily emotional manipulated. Morality is a great weapon, and it worked for my entire lifetime. It does not work in 2025. The availability of information makes lying to stir up people's emotions extremely difficult.

I say we cap pardons to 1 a year.
The turkey counts.

I get the point that it's a slippery slope, but I think that Tiktok is a special circumstance because the company is directly owned by a government that is adversarial to the US.

If they cared about CCP influence, most of the Senate and Gavin Newsom should be tried for treason.

And land sales to all chinks should be revoked as well.

 

[General Emílio Médici]

And land sales to all chinks should be revoked as well.

China does not allow it's own citizens to buy land, they can only "lease" it for 99 years. It probably does the same bullshit with foreigners just to a much worse degree.

All that needs to be done is pass a tit-for-tat legislation that if Americans cannot buy land in a country freely and for real then said country is not allowed to buy US land. Stops any country from pulling similar bullshit and as a bonus allows for Iran, Cuba, North Korea and other anti-US states to all be blocked too unless they play along.

In my opinion, I'll take one less plate of shit even if there are still several more on the table. It's one less plate of shit.

You're not wrong, though. Not by a longshot.
