I'd rather have draft dodgers who left because the government started yanking men off the streets than opportunistic migrants who used the strife as an opportunity to shortcut the immigration process.

In this case I'm sure there's more of the later than the former but anyone who wants to fight is already in it. You're getting women who will never be sent to the front lines and canon fodder which the government will gladly sacrifice so the ones who want to fight are less likely to die.
Draft dodging in a DEFENSIVE war is BY FAR worse than draft dodging in an aggressive war. People who do that are fucking useless.

The women are tainted by failure genes.
 
I don't even practice a religion and I knew this. It's literally what "Ash Wednesday" is all about. And I ridicule those who do it because how fucking retarded is it to walk around with shit on your forehead all day and act like you're doing something meaningful.
I can go into it, but it’s a huge thing about hypocrisy and imperfection. The Church does it partially because you aren’t supposed to announce it like a big deal when you are fasting/ praying/ being charitable. It’s supposed to make you think.
Matthew 6:16-18 is the reading for Ash Wednesday.

Giving up stuff is mostly for kids, for adults it’s introspection and fasting. People should not know you are a Catholic because of some soot on your forehead, they should know it because of your character.

Fun fact: the word hypocrite comes from an old term for actor. Roman actors typically worse those Comedy-Tragedy masks for character swaps. It’s a fun way of saying two faced.
 
It is very entertaining. I couldn't take it seriously after the crypto meme stuff. What's even funnier is that the left has been largely inept at capitalizing on this. It has truly become a retard circus for everyone involved.
In an ideal world your average person would be able to judge their leaders actions without bias. I didn't like Biden. He didn't try to grift his supporters. I didn't like kamala. She wasn't on the epstein list. The right has tried to make people see reason, it hasn't worked. America used to be anti-russia. Talk about a psyop.
 
No, as I said I’m not a Catholic. I stand corrected but do you expect most Americans to know about Catholic rites?
23% of Americans are Catholic. Every single year they wander around the country with shit on their foreheads for one day. It is in fact surprising people never noticed this before.
 
There are good Black composers, but they are rare. Most of the shit I see is either disappointing or outright incendiary. Whether they've been completely consumed by racial grievance or they're profiting off of it, this does nothing but damage the reputation of anyone that deserves praise. Maybe I'm expecting too much, though. Even one of the featured composers in the first article, Jens Ibsen, seems unable to put the pieces together as to why he suddenly got a lot of government and institutional interest and aid after St. Floyd partook in Da Holy Comunion.
Give me tophats, I'm MATI.
Can we be realistic for a hot minute? Fucking all the best composers are dead, and the remain ones that are good and living are all working for hollywood, where shitting soundtrack music actually affects someone's bottom line.

Any fucking symphony concert always involves sitting through some shithead's (white or red or yellow or black) stupid atonal composition entitled "faggottry for woodwinds and triangle". It's so bad you might as well not even show up on time.
 
Victoria's Secrets corporation
I was always kinda bothered Victoria's Secret was run by a guy.
I mean, say what you will, but the dude is politically persecuted to an extreme degree. He’s been debanked, he has crazy trannies that will do anything to destroy him, the country of New Zealand has tried to destroy him, idiots like Marjory Taylor Green blame him for a swatting attempt, his website is considered the worst thing in human existence, cloudflare stole his url to upload a blogpost, his entire family has disowned him, and he’s considered an ultimate boogie man for many on the left. He gets banned from websites just for existing on them. All just for running a website where people gossip about internet retards while the Nick Fuenteses and Andrew Tates of the world are just fine.

I don’t agree with everything Josh believes, but I also have never experienced anything close to what he has. I think his beliefs are earned and validated by the utter hell he goes through.
The fact that Josh tried to help CWC for as long as he did says a lot about his character. Josh is human and he is flawed like the rest of us but he is a much better person then the internet says he is.
 
You can tell the Democrats are losing because they're doing really stupid and desperate shit.

The fucking ping pong paddles, the yelling and singing, the public arguments etc. None of it makes them look competent or defiant, it makes them look petulant and petty. They're trying to look like civil rights protesters but instead they look like third world politicians from a banana republic.
 
This is such a funny thread. I hope that person is pulling so Poe's law BS. Actually I hope she's sincere.

Why is she doing that with her mouth?

I've shared this horrible "Black contemporary art" before but I'll share it again now:

Do you have any examples of the black composers they were funding?
 
I still want to believe that anyone who dislikes Trump can still be a sane person with a functioning conscience.

You can still dislike the Orange Man without having TDS ... Or at least I would hope so.
It seems that people who dislike Trump and can do so sanely are extremely rare in the younger generations. As always, your mileage may vary and there are definitely exceptions to my observation.

I just hated this delusion of letting millions of randoms flood the country and somehow that made you a good person and other bleeding heart nonsense that made no sense when you think about it rationally.
Around here, religious leaders somehow insist that discouraging illegal immigration somehow takes away those peoples' dignity. They seem to overlook the part that illegal border crossing is against the law in pretty much every civilized nation and that Jesus himself stressed the importance of trying to obey both religious and everyday law (Mark 12:17).

None of these advocates have yet offered any compelling reason why refugees should be allowed to break the law versus obeying it f they want to come to the US.

And Trump, as ever, owns any public appearance, clowning on Congress with triumphant style. Still not fully used to a president who actively shitposts, kind of love it.
I always get a laugh out Dems and TDS people focusing on Trump's comments that are outright trolls or clearly exaggerated bluster. It's rare when they can come up with a valid criticism of an actual stance and instead focus on his silliest comments and present them without context.

and now they're pretending to give a shit about free speech
Aren't these the same people who insist misgendering or improper pronoun usage should be a capital offense?

2; repeal planned obsolescence, bring back cars that live for 20-30 years
Yes, modern cars last longer in terms of mileage, but repair costs are through the roof.
Tell me about it. During COVID, my repair shop's hourly labor charge exceeded the inflation rate. Parts are marked up so ridiculously I've learned to replace what parts and filters I can on my own for a fraction of the price. Still, it sucks that most parts places want to retire replacement parts after 10-15 years which makes it hard to keep an older operationally-sound vehicle beyond that. At that point, parts are either impossible to find or expensive - especially when multiple parts all go bad at/around the same time.
