Right becuase only white people pilot airplanes. Even China and south Americans only allowed white pilots to fly thier planes. Its a shame that pigments affect the brain.


Half of you asswipes aren't even white and have this retarded take. Like I agreed upto that very minute.

Can nonwhites be competent pilots? Yes, of course.

Are we intentionally hiring competent pilots? No. We're intentionally hiring nonwhite pilots.

They're not the same motivations. Not at all. Merit and Equity are, by definition, incompatible goals. They were literally giving a Black Supremacist NGO a cheat sheet to bypass a test designed to purge the candidate lists of White people.

And it's not just one industry. This is occurring in every single industry this Post Modernist, Cultural Marxist racism is being pushed. "Diversity means more brown so we need at least 51% nonwhites, preferably 100% nonwhites to make up for the eternal sins of white blood."

Well, it turns out white blood is a force multiplier for competence. Whoops.

I heard that China's not capable of invading Taiwan, that they simply don't have the resources for it. Something about them being in a bad place themselves and Taiwan being damn near impenetrable. But I don't know for sure.

china is not invading taiwan because they have very little to gain and a lot to lose, it's that simple.
as much as people shit on chinks, they still run on some rationality, otherwise they wouldn't be where they are.

This probably causes more issues than the useless hires themselves. We can keep things going if we have some competent folks work while the useless play on their phones. But when we’re not allowed to fill roles at all because we can’t find anyone black or trans who is even qualified to play on their phone all day so we don’t get to hire at all? That’s when we crash.

sometimes things have to crash before they can get better.

You have to realize that they'll just knee jerk blame him for literally anything negative that happens from now on. They've done it since 2015 when he first started. They aren't going to change. Oh and any good news will be contributed to biden, harris, walz, whoever. They aren't actually thinking humans. They are NPC automatons.

the best reply to that is to blame literally everything on trump. stubbed your toe? spilled your drink? trump! you can even excuse it easily, you're so distraught from what the tangerine terror is doing, he MADE you do it!
lot of libshits are outright irrational and behave so fucking dumb, going against it is a fool's errant, so you reinforce it into ridiculousness, which eventually makes them look ridiculous - even if it's just to see what they'll do next if they can't blame trump for anything anymore.

just think about it, imagine those retards have to hear trump CONSTANTLY, 10-20 times an hour. bad weather? TRUMP! your sportsball team lost? TRUMP! someone cutting you off in traffic? TRUMP! lunch doesn't taste as good? TRUMP! soggy salad? TRUMP!
TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP, all day every day.

And it made me realize exactly what's going on here. Rich real estate guy has a hot trophy wife, but she's bored out of her wits because her husband is old enough to be her grandfather and money doesn't fix everything. So he rings up his even wealthier buddy who's on his way to the presidency and asks "Hey, can you give my wife some kind of peppy press job so she doesn't go out of her mind?" Because he's a boomer and probably subscribes to the screed of "Happy wife, happy life" and wants thank-you-sex every night. So Trump throws her into the role of press secretary because she's got that Fox News anchor kitten phenotype and the rest is history. She is, quite literally, a DEI hire - Didn't Earn It.

Hmm. While I am grossed out by large age gaps (this is info already discussed at length in this thread), that isn’t the story. She was a Trump White House intern and then after graduation was Assisstant Press Secretary under Kayleigh McEnany. She was comms director for a couple of Republican MoC. She ran for Congress herself, and lost miserably. She became the press secretary for the Trump campaign in January 2024, but met her husband sometime between 2020 and 2022 - he contributed $$ to her failed campaign - and married him in 2023, and had her kid last year.

If you have a link showing her elderly husbando is a Trump friend ok, but tbqh while he’s rich compared to normal people, he is not Trump circle rich. I can’t find anything connecting him to Trump. What I think happened is she met the guy when she was trying to fund her campaign, which he then did, so while it’s about $$ it isn’t about Trump.

I'm sorry to say this, but... I want to fuck your daughter.

It could be worse. At least this one is an adult.

When are the RFK / Tulsi votes going to occur?

 

[nigel p poppycock]

PBS American Experience did an LBJ doc that tried to sugar coat him, and he still came off as one of the worst presidents we ever had. The damage that man did is breathtaking.

And...lost all my quotes, dang it. In no particular order:
1) Disfigured soldier wasn't just affected on the outside, but the inside too, probably even more. It's stupid to think she couldn't handle what happened to him only because he lost his face (God bless him). What matters is that he didn't blame her.

2) @The Last Stand, college has done you no favors. Someone on this site years ago recommended Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Joe McCarthy. I'm glad I read it, and you need to read it too.

3) For those who are feeling nihilistic, dooming, demoralized, here's some advice: a) read the Bible, even if you're not a believer. Lots of philosophy, psychology, and hope. b) touch grass by getting outside, even if it's just to sit in the sun. c) get a hobby that allows you to create something, even if it's a loaf of bread or growing a succulent plant. Video games/screentime doesn't count. d) resist FOMO of current events--stop reading all the dumb, fake, and gaslighting takes from people who are paid to demoralize you or are demoralized themselves. Salt can be fun but it can also mess with your head, even if you're mentally strong. e) exercise and take probiotics every day. f) find a church, even if you aren't a believer, and one that is pro-humanity. I'd say conservative/traditional values but those terms make people break out in hives for some reason. In person community is important and surrounding yourself with people who have your same values and want to live a fulfilling life is key. Online communities don't count.

4) Trumpy taking a vacation--I've never had a problem with presidents getting away from it all for a while. I wouldn't have minded Biden going to the beach all the time if he was actually working when he was supposed to be on the job, which he wasn't. If Trump wants to get some golf in when he can because it keeps him healthy, do it. It doesn't matter what he does or doesn't do, these people are going to wail and gnash their teeth and continue to look like potato heads all for uproots, likes, and retweets. What a sad, sad existence, and unfortunately, many such cases.

 

[HTTP Error 404]

I'd be more upset at the vacation (as in, I'd go from 0% to 0.000repeating%) thing if we didn't already have a term for this.

We call what Trump is doing a "weekend" out here in the real world.

 

[Back me up!]

What's the saying? If you owe the bank a million dollars, you have a problem, if you owe the bank a billion dollars, the bank has a problem. China can't call in the debts. The best they can do is cut us off. Which unless the US is well and truly lost, we've been anticipating and preparing for.

I heard that China's not capable of invading Taiwan, that they simply don't have the resources for it. Something about them being in a bad place themselves and Taiwan being damn near impenetrable. But I don't know for sure.

But this is a moot point. If China gets uppity, we bomb the Three Gorges Dam. That destroys China as a nation and international player. Yes, a few hundred million people would die immediately, there would be an ecological disaster on a scale we haven't seen on Earth before, and a few hundred million more would die over the coming months from disease and famine... But oh well. Let them scream about how evil we are as we livestream the liberation of the concentration camps they have their Muslims in -- before we start helping Muslim aid workers across the border to discuss the treatment of their brethren to the surviving Chinese.

I don't think you even have to do that. Given the massive population issues China has (too many olds, not enough women for young men) and the fact that Taiwan would be a meat grinder the US could airdrop/blast message that every male death is ending the line of 2 families (4 grandparents basically).

Try to read the comment section and spot some very suspicious ones. The gaslighting is insane.

A lot of accounts with "name plus numbers" that have a high like count. I wonder where they are originating.

It is even funnier cause you would think with those comments there would be allot of dislikes.... the current ratio is 20k likes to 643 dislikes. Def allot of bots working overtime right now to sow a narrative.

What I wanna know is: where the entire fuck is this format of videos coming from all of the sudden?

It's been a non-stop virus in my recommends feed: the same stick figure, incessant gross-out visuals, and almost the same exact narration style.

[...]I should stress we simply do not get the information you present, or it's distorted behind innuendo or caveats. I call this the a closed information ecosystem. Imagine A&H if it was populated by people telling you how wonderful trannies are.

It takes effort to seek out conflicting information because you are essentially taught that it is a form of heresy and we glut ourselves on what we trust. I'm not presenting that as an excuse but it's how many liberals are trained to think.

The Dead Internet Theory is labeled a "conspiracy theory" to attempt to brush away the harsh truths it exposes.

The Internet is treated like visiting a virtual town square during a festival. Watch a theatrical performance; discuss with friends; hear crowd conversations. A large crowd buying from a vendor signals popularity.
The Internet is actually a Bazaar of the Bizarre, an illusionary marketplace run by Devourers. Merchants who strip everything of value and leave garbage in it's place.

By now everyone has heard of fake news, fake reviews, misinformation, disinformation, shills, bots, etc.
But, humans struggle to truely understand how fake & gay the Internet is. Partly because it's upsetting to think about; ignorance is bliss.

It is obvious that controlling online discourse is powerful. It makes sense that this power would be controlled and made to benefit it's controllers.

Remember all China has to do to start world war 3 is call in the USA’s debts to them.

You can’t “call” the type of debt Chyna holds. You can only refuse to buy more bonds as they get issued or dump yours on the market.

The problem with that is that the USA has a trade deficit with Chyna. Which means if they stop buying bonds, they start stockpiling currency. Which has to go somewhere.

And if they stop shipping stupid shit to the USA, their entire economy falls over in a week.

Chyna has no advantage to trying to take Taiwan directly now by force, they can play the long game with it. But their economic situation is way more precarious than they’d like, and they’re trying to clean it up methodically without causing a collapse.

 

[General Emílio Médici]

If China tries that shit they won't "win" they will just kill themselves and the USA.

It's like a economic version of M.A.D. China and the USA are two bloated empires leeching off of each other. It's why Trump hasn't declared a full embargo and started with only 10% tariffs, because if he went balls to the wall and straight to 50% like he wants the shock to the system would be too bad.

 

[SanicBlackMagic]

Get rid of 'em all. I don't even care if they're an agent of the CCP, I want these pro-Palestine faggots to stop shitting up everything.

Yeah, that's the thing I really don't think we'll be seeing in our lifetime. Unless the US is somehow dismantled from the inside, to the point where we're militarily incapable of defending our allies, China will not do something as stupid as that.

 

[Nihil Jung]

The Trump vacation thing is the perfect illustration of how disingenuous the left is. Never mind bidens 1000 days off, or the fact that Trump has earned vacations already or that he clearly makes deals and policy while golfing, the leftist position that they expect you to believe is:
"Oh no! *Rends clothing* The man who exclussively does horrible and evil things while working is taking time off of work!"

I hope next time he’s at the Resolute desk signing EO after EO BTFO’g the left’s entire agenda, he mentions that the left wing media doesn’t like it when he golfs, so he’s at the office signing some EOs for them that they’re sure to enjoy.

Why the fuck would we want to liberate muslims? So they can rape more women and goats?

It's pretty much going to be a repeat of his first term where they twist every action of his as bad. The difference is that most people don't care anymore. The shit we had to deal with during Biden's administration more than likely has solidified distrust in the current establishment.

Trump has installed a top-tier troll in the CDC.

I like to think he is posting in this very thread.

"It's good to be in something from the ground floor, and I came too late for that, I know. But lately I've been getting a feeling that I came at the end. The best is over" and how I kind of feel that way with America.

Literally every generation felt that way, that things used to be better. Don't be fooled by the most common of copes.

Back in the day, I can believe FDR loved this country. I can believe Kennedy, LBJ, Carter, and Clinton loved this country and wanted the best for it.

Yeah, I think you have a bad case of rose-tinted history glasses. Take a walk, touch grass, spend more time with people and less here, clean your room etc. I am not talking down to you when I say this, I honestly want you to feel better. You are going through the same thing many others are, and have in the past. It's all alright.

Cringe!

"Helen Keller" apparently believed in Eugenics. A quote: “It seems to me that the simplest, wisest thing to do would be to submit cases like that of the malformed idiot baby to a jury of expert physicians…they would act only in cases of true idiocy, where there could be no hope of mental development…decide whether a man is fit to associate with his fellows, whether he is fit to live.”

Pretty harsh for someone who apparently got lucky when a tenacious caregiver took the time to figure out what all those "mnnns" and "nuuuuuhhs" meant.

Sorry for the mild derail. The Keller question is shallow, but a rabbit hole nonetheless.

There’s a lot of proof Keller was a literal puppet with handlers. Her caregiver was an activist who married John Macy who published most of “Keller’s works”.
