The people deranged enough to make fake letters are not necessarily sensible enough to make plausible fake letters. To which his response is: "see you in court"? That doesn't seem like the logical response to genuine blackmail. (Besides which, the theory "they have a real letter but they...

I'd argue, in turn, that the WSJ didn't make a fake letter-- but rather, because they wanted the scoop so badly, they deceived themselves into thinking it was genuine. It wouldn't be the first time that a major publication fell for a pretty obvious hoax, blinded by the prospect of getting that...

That's mostly the grooming/recruiting that the lefties engage in. When do those kids "turn against their parents"? High school and (more so) college. What profession is overwhelmingly crewed by left-wing activists? That's right: teachers. It's natural for teens to rebel a little, of course, but...

A predisposition to mental ilnesses is -- at least to a significant degree -- caused by genetics. If the "loony left" stops reproducing, mental illness in society will recede. Their refusal to have children, their anti-natalist obsession, is in essence a completely voluntary DIY eugenics...

If the degenerates do not reproduce, that is a genetic and socio-cultural advantage for the species. Let them go extinct. Conservatives must have as many children as possible, progressives should ideally have zero children. Even if the progressives "convert" a certain number of children from...

We were just talking about quietly cancelled projects, and we were very punctual about it-- because here's Rian Johnson confirming that his SW trilogy is definitely not happening. In fact, it was never happening in the first place. There was never even an outline. Reading between the lines...

And this is where you are wrong, and why philosophy is important-- although the underlying reason you are wrong here is probably also the reason you can't (or, I suspect: refuse to) understand why philosophy is important. It's about consistency in thought and reasoning. If you use logic, you're...

My eyes dropped millstones. ...Speaking of "Jedi origin stories", wasn't James Mangold picked -- after the ignominious slinking-away of Benoff and Weiss -- to write and direct a film about the origins of the Force and of the Jedi? Whatever happened to that? Another casualty of Disney's...

I love that some people try to use "looking too much into it / being too philosophical" as an attempted put-down, and then proceed to be fine with lengthy and quite woolly posts dedicated (meta-)analysis of... not the subject, but the discussion about the subject. That's a performative...

The last point is valid as any fanon, although what we got from the EU material suggests otherwise to me. To be fair: that's all elaboration from guidebooks, written later than the novels. But basically, Bel Iblis was actually less willing to "waste lives", and he thought people like Mothma and...

Had you watched the linked video, you'd already know that you're factually wrong. Feral Historian quotes Lucas directly on this, and "modeled directly on the Vietcong" is a bullshit story that people repeat. Literally the next sentence in that interview is Lucas saying "They're the American...

That's because TEH J00S are behind EVERYTHING!!!1!!! ( ;) )

Medical confidentiality doesn't extend to cover everything. In this case specifically, confidentiality may not be used by a doctor (or to force a doctor) to cover up criminal acts. As has previously been discussed, mental competency to act as President isn't defined in detail. So even seeing...

As I've written here, and in many other dscussions: I believe every people has a right to its own ancestral homeland. Arabia is the land of the Arabs. It is the land to which they, more than any other extant people (and therefore to the exclusion of any other extant people), may rightfully lay...

These spambots are probably automated, so to really keep them away, you'd need to implement a human test. I understand that there's an NSFW subforum where you can get access by posting a message into a specific thread? Well, you can also do that for the whole site: before a new member gets the...
