I actually read a book about it a few years ago, and the logic is similar to some stuff you see in Buddhism or Schopenhauer about how life is suffering, we're constantly "willing" for things and never satisfied, etc., and so it's immoral to create more life that will then also have to suffer. I couldn't help but feeling, though, that if someone truly believed that in their heart, they would just kill themselves. Otherwise why are you prolonging your own suffering if that's what you think life is?
I think what I never never really connect with on an emotional level is the whole suffering thing. So your life sucks but the world is entertaining when you really think about it.

It is what it is. Is suffering truly a bad thing?
 
>Treasury Secretary Bessent says the US does not want to decouple from China, but wants to open markets and restore balance:

>"We'll continue trading with China, especially in non-strategic goods, and at lower tariff levels."

No, you dumb fuck. Total. China. Death. Nothing else will do.

China, the nation, and the CCP are two face cockroaches. Their goal is total global conquest. They don't care about good faith agreements. The people and the CCP have shown time and again they have no qualms breaking agreements and doing things underhandedly or illegally. They use their funny money economy to highly subsidize their markets and undercut everyone else. In any market or product category they enter. They only care about the nation and the party (CCP).

I really hate ripping on the chinese in general. Cause there's bound to be a few good ones that are decent people. But a few rotten apples spoil the bunch.

The sooner we decouple from China, the better. I'd rather have everything made at home, but I'll take making things elsewhere. Where the countries making the goods are anti-China and pro TCD.

This is why I like doom, there is no pretence about “man is the real monster” no the real monsters are the demons eating and torturing people and they gotta die.

They think humans are unique in doing damage to the environment and are thus not part of nature. White people moreso as they reshape the planet in their image. Darker people are more innocent because the antinatalists subconsciously think of them as less human
But again that doesn't make sense humans were born on this planet we grew and evolved from it just as every other creature we are as tied to nature as every other animal.
 
Now an F-35 is going to be dropped next.

Here's another great example of how far the media is reaching for Trump optics losses right now.

IndaTariffs (1).webpIndaTariffs (2).webpIndaTariffs (3).webpIndaTariffs (4).webpIndaTariffs (5).webpIndaTariffs (6).webp

These headlines paint a very clear picture: What Trump said is simply not true, the claim that "India offered going down to 0" is incorrect.

So what does that mean?
-Did India actually offer to go down to 10%?
-Did they offer to cut some to 0 but keep others in place?
-Is the Hindi term for 0 different than the English one (indians love to remind me that they invented the 0 concept)

By clicking any of the articles we see this big "but" that the media is referring to without explicitly mentioning: "they haven't officially signed a deal yet".

As if the term "offer" is only an accurate description when we're at the stage of "hardline ink on paper no chance of turning back."

If this qualifies as a "but" in the headline, then basically every headline about any non conclusive event should have a "but" in it.
-Progress being made on inner city kids becoming engineers... but they're not yet.
-Kamala leading in polls, but she hasn't won yet.
-A bunch of people stormed the white house, but nothing really happened.
-Right winger says mean things online, but hasn't done anything yet.
-China offers to be a US alternative, but we all know damn well every country in the region would sooner side with Saruman.
-In this leftist University everyone is accepting of this trans person, but no men seem to be dating them.

I'm so tired of the news.
 
You’re just mad that Trump realized that the secret to peace in the Middle East is ignoring warmongering Israelis/neocons and making business deals with the Arabs so they want to keep us happy for their own financial benefit.
Syria and the KSA have both been pushed by trump to join the Abraham Accords, Syria is seriously negotiating a peace treaty with Israel, and Arab countries looking to diversify are going to invest billions of dollars into Israel, the most economically developed country in the Middle East (technically Qatar is more developed but that all relies on oil) thanks to its high tech industry.

This also doesn't count the 1.2 trillion trump has gotten Qatar to sign for.

and you think I'm mad? I know pointing out how your edaddy has direct ties to a PR firm that lobbies for Qatar upsets you and you're scrambling to cope but come on lmao. I'm excited for Israeli peace with Syria.

When intel spooks said it would be great if Americans don't know the truth due to media lies, they never factored in that Americans would simply stop believing the news and start listening to each other. Whoopsie doopsie, CIA child.
 
As much as you would want to do that, 99 percent of people, me included, don't like political violence. You have to realize that politics in the United states is a pendulum, and you want to get as much done as possible while it is on your side before it eventually swings back.
While I agree that political violence isn't the way forward, I strongly disagree with the sentiment that politics in the United States is a 'pendulum". That's a bullshit idea that's been pushed and is some post history/nothing ever happens shit. We don't have to flip flop our ideology every 4 to 8 years just because some imaginary object "swings the other way". It takes decades to get shit done and this swinging is always cited as the culprit as to why we can't fix things. If the current administration governs well, improves the quality of life and overall gains the majorities approval then why would this imaginary 'pendulum' swing the other way? Because it's more fair? Is it their turn now? If things are looking good then why vote against that because it's been 4 to 8 years?

Maybe, just maybe there's no 'pendulum' and no swinging when the state is governed well and the population is allowed to voice their opinion without it being suppressed via corruption, lobbying, fear and other methods because the new administration dismantled and defunded their means to do so. So I don't mean to sound mad at you in particular, but the idea that this imaginary 'pendulum' that swings and dictates public opinion making America stuck in a left>righ>left>right situation forever is infuriating. True, that maybe when the illegals are delt with and the DEI/troons are but a memory maybe then people won't be as loud and aggressive about the issues but fundamentally the ideals fueling their anger would still be the same, they want a safe and nice country for themselves and their children.

And just in case there is a 'pendulum' that only politicians can see, I advise Trump to break it off and take it home. It doesn't need to swing anymore.
 
I'll put this here. Reason. I can somewhat validate what this guy stated. I hated what the Socialists have done. As I have stated I made money doing my research When Putin started buying gold before his invasion.


The Socialists did destroy the Middle Class. I have repeatedly commented on the 4 years of inflation, taxes and corruption of just USAID Alone equates to what normal inflation does with the politics involved is around 10 years. And we got 5+ years more left to end this decade.

His last comment is also correct. Society is run by Generation FAIL

However the Trump Adminstration is not too bad. As stated beore, from a business aspect I don't like what he is personally. But what is happening now sure as hell better than what we had for the past.

Especially our freedom of expressing one's self.

As stated in the business section I'll be giving my comments when I complete my 3 quarter finances.

I can say that my fisrt quarter was not that good, but that is mostly a hold over from the past communist adminstration's actions.
 
Remember, the left is completely incapable of understanding second order knock on effects. Swap a bunch of European descendants for random 3rd generation inbred 65 IQ Indians, Africans, or Arabs? Nothing will change except the skin tone will darken slightly and the food will get yummier! It's win win unless you hate good food! Plus it'll help the line go up, and everyone knows, that's the only thing in life that ever matters.

If I wasn't forced to live through their little mad sociologist science project I'd sit back and go "no, wait, don't tell them, let them figure it out on their own when their gated communities are stormed by packs of Jeet or Paki rape gangs" but nope, I'm stuck in here with them.
This is one of those things I truly don't get about libtards. They love the idea of "multiculturalism." They fully understand that different cultures have different values. Yet they cannot for a moment even consider the possibility that there may be at least one culture somewhere on Earth whose fundamental values conflict with theirs...except for Red State White People Culture. To even suggest there might be somebody out there in the world other than center-right white people whose values are in opposition to left-wing progressivism is just racism and rejected out of hand.
 
Point is to welfare state until collapse .
it's hard to overstate just how many of the problems we face today are just a result of boomers trying to squeeze out every red cent they can for themselves and delay the collapse of the entitlements Ponzi scheme until after they're dead so their kids will have to be the one's who suffer instead of them.
 
PENCE: "I’ve never been a fan of American presidents criticizing America on foreign soil. And to have the president in Saudi Arabia questioning America’s global war on terror, and describing it as nation-building and interventionist, I thought was a disservice to generations of Americans who wore the uniform and who took the fight to our enemy, you know, in Afghanistan and in Iraq.”

I'd like to hear Pence describe what we've been doing abroad and what those Americans who wore the uniform who took "the fight" to our enemy were fighting for.

Not the biggest Pence fan but at the same time the Saudis should be thankful they have money or there is a good chance they wouldn't be all that liked by the United States government.

both can exist at once you retard

my specific criticism is that Tucker didn't disclose that he was approached by a Qatari paid PR firm and he specifically mocked the idea of him being influenced/paid by Qatar. If he had been forthcoming about this, then I wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

meanwhile politicians influenced by AIPAC have public ledgers that show exactly how much AIPAC has given them down to the cent

can you not tell the difference?
