And no one batted an eye, neither you or me put down one inch of the infrastructure but we benefit from it and act very high and mighty to those without it, if it disappeared tomorrow how confident are you we could rebuild it?
Well I've worked at laying underground cables and not only could we rebuild in a few years, it would be better than it was before. Infrastructure in the west isn't 100 years old, it gets maintained, replaced and upgraded regularly. Unlike in Africa where all the roads, rails, bridges and cables are what is left of colonization and apartheid. Or India where all the rails are what's left of the millions the British Empire spent on building the worlds 4th largest railway network (not anymore as most of it has fallen to ruin).

And BTW Africa absolutely did not get fucked over by colonization, it was best thing to ever happen to them, it was it's true golden age. Colonization actually followed quite strict protocols and required an presence be established and wasn't just drawing lines a map and going this is mine. So in most places it just brought wealth, infrastructure, opportunity and security from neighboring tribes that wanted to rape and eat everyone in their village. And as bonus they can now use that time of relative peace and civility to beg for more gibs today.

A high school student barges into the locker room of the opposite sex and records video. A Title IX investigation follows so that the educrats running the school can punish which of the following: (1) the miscreant or (2) the kids who were recorded? The question is hard so here’s a clue to make it easy: this happened in Loudoun County, Virginia:
[T]hree young men … were videotaped inside the boy’s locker room at Stone Bridge High School.

The video was shot by who they say is a biologically female student that uses the boys’ facilities because she identifies as male. That is permitted under the Loudoun County School Board’s Policy 8040.
The girl is not in trouble at the school. The boys are. They stand formally accused of sexual harassment because they talked among themselves about their discomfort over her presence in the boys’ locker room.

Making it more difficult to defend the boys, the school wouldn’t let their families have a copy of the video the girl took of them allegedly sexually harassing her. They had to submit a Freedom of Information Act request to the sheriff’s office to see it.

If Stone Bridge High School sounds familiar, you may be thinking of Scott Smith, the parent who was punched in the face by police and dragged out of the room with his pants pulled down after he complained at a school board meeting about a boy in a skirt sexually assaulting his 9th grade daughter in the girls’ bathroom. This was consistent with the Democrat doctrine that concerned parents who resist the liberal agenda should be treated as domestic terrorists. Afterward, the media piled on by portraying Smith as a villain for standing up for his daughter.

The shitlib creatures running public schools in Loudoun County are like something out of a book by Aldous Huxley. For more on what they have been inflicting on children, see here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. What do you expect of a region that serves as suburbia for the Swamp?
 
Guys I know we spend more on healthcare than any other nation while being one of the sickest, but if we reform it AT ALL some poor black person might lose their speech therapist, so is it really even worth trying?

I thought healthcare no longer needed to be reformed thanks to Obamacare.
Has the pro-Palestine crowd trolled him with saying the Jews are colonizers?

And this is why the left will lose. They refuse to actually explain their position to outsiders; they refuse to convert people. If you're not already part of the club, you're not taken seriously; you're condescended to, or ignored.
I think it's more that they refuse to make a good faith attempt to even understand the perspective of outsiders. Outsiders understand their position very well because they have almost total stranglehold over the media and are bombarded with it constantly.

But the left doesn't know how to argue and can't actually defend its positions outside of their echo chambers.
 
Pornstars don't make THAT much money. They are like voice actors, where the pay is meh, but most of their income is from cons or fan meetups (AKA hooking). Also, he is way overselling her skill set. Most positions in porn are used because they look good for the camera, not because they are uniquely pleasurable. She has as much talent as any other prostitute.
There was that one porn star who was the most downloaded girl on Pornhub in history. She made less than minimum wage and ruined her life, because no one pays for porn anymore.

Im kinda getting the idea that Africa, or atleast parts of it may have just gotten a really rotten round of "wrong place wrong time" during the industrial revolution cause on paper the shit that brought European nations to their fucking knees is just tuesday for them.
Africans still haven't figured out Agriculture. I'm not sure they mastered fire. Time management doesn't exist in their languages -- like literally the scholars had to make up new Zulu words to mean "tomorrow" because the concept didn't exist to them.

Part of this is the fact that there's so much food just all over the place down there that you don't really need to farm. But a major part of this is many of them are functionally retarded, 70 IQ people who literally can't think fast or deep enough to do any of this shit.

They're propped up by international aid programs and white people crying when they see pictures of sad brown person in sand or whatever. In the past, and the future when this weird non-combative era ends, they'll be displaced, ethnically cleansed, and the land repurposed for a new civilization of people who can, in fact, tell you how they'd feel if they didn't have breakfast this morning.
It's not the place, it's the people. Yeah sure they are able to withstand a lot of horrible conditions. Guess what? So are a lot of retards. It's actually like a secret retard strength that they can endure a lot of messed up conditions because they're so detached from higher thought that they never consider trying to improve it. And it's not specifically a race thing but race factors heavily into it - there are tons of whites who are also too stupid to reach for grander things than living in a barren tundra and eating frozen fish every day. Africa has some of the greatest bounties of resources in the world and has very fertile lands, but the people who have lived in many parts of it since time began seem to just be too fucking retarded to make use of it. Lefties continually claim that muh colonialism stopped them from ever doing anything productive but there is a reason that the joke about Zimbabwe using candles for lighting after inventing electricity exists. There are tons of modern examples of colonial powers being driven out of Africa by marxist backed forces, and even after then fighting the marxists with their own nationalist forces, most African nations may as well be in the stone age in terms of development, they literally subsist off the overflow from other more prosperous nations.

Tl;Dr rhodesia was the best thing to ever happen to Africa and they ruined that too
Yeah this, basically. We've pumped trillions into Africa and they still live in shit huts chucking spears at each other. At some point we need to just burn the huts down and drive them out of the region (as in, Earth, not Africa) and let some other civilization take the land. I get that it would make a bunch of Marxists and Jews and white middle class women sad, but oh well. Unfortunately for all of us it appears that China was the first one to get there without God's chosen millstone around their necks and will be doing the ethnic cleansing -- and reaping the rewards. Ah well.

They have no theory of mind for people that don't agree with them. This has been confirmed via multiple studies. The right understands the left and thinks they're idiots or misguided (although this is finally changing, shouldn't have gone after hteir kids). The left has no idea what the right thinks but knows they're evil for not being left.

This makes amazingly awesome foot soldiers in the culture war, and brownshirt terrorists in the days of rage. It makes less useful people in every other walk of life ever.

Well, it's even confirmed in @Romulus augustulus 's example there. That one plebbitor says that Trump voters don't even have the brain capacity to enjoy ASOIAF. Firstly, Martin's books are hardly fucking Proust or something equally complex. Secondly, I'm not a Trump 'voter', because I'm not American. But I am a Trump 'supporter' and I enjoyed those books immensely, and wish Martin would hurry up and finish them. I'm not alone, either. Jack Posobiec, who is a big name conservative commentator, is also a huge Game of Thrones and Song of Ice and Fire nerd.

This is their problem. Because of their arrogance and narcissism they refuse to accept that they may not be the smartest people in the room. They refuse to accept that their ideological opposition are people very much like themselves, who may well have legitimate complaints or grievances.

The modern left have a similar problem that the Bolsheviks had. They call themselves intelligentsia but they're not intelligent, they're just literate (and sometimes not even that. They don't read half the books they talk about). There's a huge difference between the two, and just because you've read a mountain of gender and critical theory textbooks, doesn't suddenly mean you're some 180IQ genius.
 
What's bizarre is I've seen a woman in her 90s that aged WAY better than these people. TDS must be an agifier.
Does / did Dave have TDS? Like others have said, its the effects from drugs, alcohol, and the rock and roll lifestyle.

Dave was known has a hard drinker for a while. He got fired from Metallica for being too much of a drunk in their early stage. And Metallica had the nickname Alocholica back in the day. IIRC, Dave was known to be a mean drunk while Lars and James were more funny drunks. Those two drunk types don't match. Idk if Cliff drank.

A major problem is they have doctrines about how outsiders think. If you don't agree with leftism, it's because you irrationally hate brown skin, are secretly gay, etc. If they understood our perspective, then they run the risk of going against official teaching on what we think, and going against official teaching gets you struggle sessioned and cast out.


Part of this is the fact that there's so much food just all over the place down there that you don't really need to farm.

This isn't true. The continent can only sustain around 20-30 million hunter-gatherers. If you took away farming, about 95% of the people currently living there would starve to death.
 
Cubans in southern Florida
Cubans have been strongly Republican forever, partly because it was Republicans who accepted them and Democrats who tried to stop them fleeing Communist Cuba (commie simping from the Dems is the easiest way to make hard-right voting blocks lmfao). It's only recently where younger Cubans have had a slight left-lean twist, and even then it's not exactly unusual, they're still going to be very strongly Republican in general attitudes and policies. Expect it to cement Republican for the next generation on the simple basis of them having kids.
Puerto Ricans, I don’t know enough yet to say.
PR are like most other minorities, lean left but with increasing right sympathies, and a large portion going to Trump. Their domestic parties back on their island is pretty much swinging back and forth between their version of left and their version of right. That said, the majority do like being American, and like the US and our ethos in general. The tl;dr is that they're not niggers, they just have a shit system that's upkept by the US for political purposes.
majority liked the idea of less control from Mexico for sure but worried on treatment if annexed to America
The US Government, at the end of the Mexican-American war, signed it's treaty with Mexico where, explicitly, Mexicans were guaranteed to be treated as "white" in the newly conquered territories. They argued that Mexicans were hard working Christians, farmers, bakers, carpenters, ect ect ect, and thus weren't niggers. The US agreed. This set the US view on them for a long time, tensions low and there being very little issues until Operation Wetback, where we began to see racial tensions spike in the post WW2 environment with immigration and Mexicans in general. This is probably due less to illegal immigration and the economy, and more because of the increase of power in various socialist/communist groups and parties in every country south of the border. Ironically, this lead to the early beginning of Mexicans going from loosely aligned racially and into a racial hard-Democrat block in the coming decades.

tl;dr for most """hispanics""" as long as you don't racially aggravate them (looking at you groypers) then odds are they'll vote like average whites at least, and as Christians with work ethic and family oriented policies (ahem Republicans) normatively. Except Venezuelans, apparently they're the niggers of the hispanic world, which is really funny.

most people in Africa have been farming or herding for millenia

if you took away modern industrial farming there would be mass death but that's true everywhere

I'm often reminded of the arrogance of a lot of modern Star Trek fans who legitimately think that Conservatives in general can not be a fan of this franchise. It's really fucking weird.
