Since people are still sperging about porn, I feel like I might as well add my two cents:

There are a million and one options for handling the issue to prevent children from seeing adult content that don't require linking yourself to an internet database that is treated about as serious as a mall cop. However, every other option that isn't "please, bid daddy gubmint, do everything for me" requires people to actually do something to raise their fucking kids.

If you want to argue about how porn has negative effects and shouldn't be seen by children, than I'll wait for you to finish tying your shoes so you can catch up with everyone else. But if you actually cared about the health, safety, and well-being of the future generation, you'd actually start shaming parents for letting their kids gawk into a smartphone while eating their chicken nuggets.

It's a colloquialism that serves as a linguistic catch-all for the way in which many different and officially disconnected institutions all seem to be on the same page about everything in a way that is suspicious.

You can argue that it's a stupid word, that it's imprecise, and we can go into the weeds about it all day, but it does serve a purpose that most people understand. It is how people convey that people like Mark Milley seem indistinguishable in public from people like Barack Obama.
I never said I disliked or disagreed with the term. All I said was that saying "The Cathedral is an accurate descriptor for this worldwide collection of varying institutions" is a bit of a reach. If you like the term, then use it. But don't pretend that it's simply an "accurate" label for what is clearly not a Cathedral by any definition.

You know it sad in sense, NYC is one of the oldest And cities in America , hell nyc served as the first capital of America. And now we have this worm of a man who’s on track to be the new mayor of nyc and his biggest problems have nothing to do with the city itself and instead has crap to do with the an ethic blood war halfway across the world. At this point democracy has done more harm to this country than good. At what point does we realize that it is a failed experiment that should’ve gone the way of the dinosaurs.

Anyone else annoyed that anti-social global south retards do this shit and say "dats real culture"
 
You are right that China's rise is meteoric, but they weren't really ever "colonized." Europeans set up special districts (e.g. Hong Kong) and other powers took territory, but it was not colonized like India was, for example.

Fair enough.

Saying democracy is a problem when all the problems you have with it arise from the non-democratic aspects is like saying private transportation is a problem because public transportation is trash. That fifthly fucking jeet commie would not even be a citizen of the US if it wasn't for a host of fucking non-democratic shit forced on us.

Democracy hasn't failed at all. It's working just fine for what its overlords want it to do. That might not be what the masses want it to do, but that doesn't matter because anyone who votes wrong is just an enemy of democracy.

when people say it’s colonized they mean in the same vein the fruit companies colonized Central America if that makes sense.

I think that they got off pretty damn lightly tho for as much as they bitch about the century of humiliation.

It is very probable those non-democratic mechanisms were given significant power via democracy.

He's enraged and scared the shit out of NYC's real masters. Don't be shocked at all when he loses.
 
Did this man really do "#sassywithmassie"? Is he okay?
we live in an era where he dosent need to fear any reputational repercussions for this, should you or I post something calling him gay for saying that or even something more clever like that he is very "in touch with his feminine side" (not very clever but you get the point) on any public platofirm other than the farms ALL and i mean ALL its going to do is serve as fodder for morons to come in and call us bigots for saying it thus scoring critical social credit score AND AND when girls cyber stalk you after or before the first date to find out if your a serial killer whitch they ALL fucking do now cause true crime podcasts have melted an entire generations logical processing unit straight into the brains emotional flywheel, they will see 1 example of slightly "problematic" speech or behavior and now your out of luck.

This is just a general rule and with all rules there are exceptions I dont wanna hear "uhh dude I act like a chud around liberal girls all the time and they still drop panties for me cause I got that big Don alpha wolf energy" save it for your diary, but these days its tantamount to CHOOSE to wear a iron cross on your forehead (in the people im talking abouts eyes) to post any remotly right wing ideas or opinions on an account tied to your identity while the liberals are not constrained to such restritions. This has allowed them to foster the idea that shit like a congerassman tweeting "sassywithmassie" is ok cause the yass queens get retweeted and the "gay lameo" comments get reported and removed.

If the liberals had ANY sense of centeral strategy or planning they would capitalize on this hard and build strong groups of online "personalitys" that are linked to their real life and do all they can to push the idea that vitue signaling or just being woke in general online will reflect on your real life "social credit score". Like if loser guys felt like they could actually get some kind of clout from women from pretneding to care about there ideas im SURE they would steal tons away from the right simply cause so many men in this era have no one even TRYING to even pretend to care about them to get their vote or support, even the right and trumps camp is like "hey I wont ACTIVLEY bellitle you, but, im not offering any advancment fuckos, your still mostly dirty poors, YUCK". All the left (read left women) needs to do to win HARD is start sucking little dick metaphorically and otherwise for twitter or irl virtue singaling from lonley straight men and they will see bernie bro tshirts sell out like george floyds twin just got bautista bombed on fith avenue high on opium.
 
It is clear that threatening the leader of the Islamic world, as well as the esteemed sources of emulation, is a war against Islam

Also I wonder if they told anyone outside of Iran that Khamenei is their Ayatollah of Rocknrolla, not just Persia's.
 
Cathedrals are buildings, friend. If you think it fits thematically, then say so. Don't pretend that it's merely a matter of factual accuracy to say that CNN is part of a cathedral.
It's more than just a theme or a window dressing term though. A cathedral or any place of worship is both thematically accurate and factually accurate when describing how they operate. It might be ot so I'm going to spoiler from here on.

The political parties in America have evolved over time but only the political left can be described as a cathedral. A cathedral is a place of worship where it's practitioners and adherents not only practice their religion but are also protected from the outside world both physically and spiritually. It's more than just a physical building protecting them. Within a cathedral an adherent will never have their beliefs questioned and the practitioners will always tell them what to believe. Given that most religions lean into being faith based, having a place that tells you what to believe unchallenged is almost necessary given some people will crumble when pressed about why they believe what they do. Because it's all blind faith and selling a skeptic outsider on your religion on a faith alone argument doesn't go well.

That's a lot of words to say that what the left morphed into is just a pseudo religion. It's a faith based platform that is perfect and good. Not that it as a party has done tangible good things, it just is. Just like religion you must blindly accept that they are good regardless of their policies or the outcomes, or forever brand yourself a heretic losing the benefits of the cathedral and it's flock. You've seen what happens to troons when they detransition or when moderate people say maybe they don't want to do a communism. Kicked to the curb, spat on and denounced. Excommunicated from the party for daring to insinuate that maybe it's the cathedral and it's preachers who are wrong. I'll stop here, but it's really interesting when you look at how the 'cathedral' works and how closely it resembles actually places of worship.
