I mean, they decided to vote in one crazy cosplayer rather than the South American equivalent of a Stalinist. He apparently has no domestic support network, so I'm going to guess he's going to speedrun the Bolsonaro storyline.

This might be my conservativeness talking, but I'm not sure on that last one. Its easy to imagine better, but making it actually manifest is far tricker, and how good is actually achievable is often much lower than we think. If Trump steps aside on his own accord, it might go fine. If he gets...

I'm not really sure of this: Trump got a lot of non-republicans to vote republican. If Trump was removed from the GOP in some way, I'm not sure the the GOP wouldn't be kicking out lots of people with him. Or, taking as a given that Trump's ego demands he runs again, post the conspiring needed...

So? The average southerner lived in a shack. Didn't make messing with the south costless, as the North found. That poor British exist does not make "the British were rich and powerful in 1914" a nonsense statement. And if some South American country figured it was a good idea to steel from...

Eh, depends what one considers the relevant measure. One could make a good argument that Jews are the single most powerful ethnic in the US: Whites are wealthy but fractured. Blacks are unified but poor. Jews are unified and wealthy, which translates into a lot of power as an ethnic. When a...

We do increasingly live in Anarco Tyranny.

Edgy internet commentor says.. edgy internet things? In support of basic conservative principles? This is not something I see particularly playing against his audience of edgy internet conservatives. Oh no, conservative comes out against casual sex! how scandalous! This comes across as the...

Eh, not hearing the original or following him at all, based solely on the quotes it seems like he's expressing run of the mill Christian conservative points through edgy zoomer speak, probably in some spur of the moment rant that makes it less articulate than it could be. So, eh? He's probably...

Hm, good universe or bad universe?

Hm, I would actually question how significant that actually is. For example, the USSR had some very high male casualties, about 8 million military deaths. This is obviously a lot, but out of 170 million people that about 5% of the population. A lot of those were post fatherhood or...

I think the best description of Spencer really is a 1920s Progressive: New Deal Big Government technocrat before the Eugenics part of progressing became unfashionable post midcentury Germans.

Well, obviously race is extremely galvanizing to the average westerner, as racial narratives of the Civil Rights law and the Evils of Whitely to non-whites is basically the defining narrative of all generally relevant history. At this stage, with things like the 1619 project and the only thing I...

Yeah, I would probably say that by the letter of the law, this may be legal and tax free, but its really skirting the spirit of the law, and there's room for argument here. The gift laws are there so that a lot of common everyday stuff doesn't get tied up in taxes. Giving you child an...

Well, gifts as gifts are truly not taxable, at least on the receiver side, and no reporting on their end is necessary. There is a gift tax, payable by the person who gives the gift. However, the exclusion is currently $15,000 per recipient, and you don't really need to do reports if you've given...

What do you think Urban planning is? The black getto is in part the result of decades of social experiments.

This is the first time you became aware the US school system is terrible? As everyone has said, this was were it was 30 years ago. Its worse now. Self defense and speech are both losing. This is the sillyness of looking at words on paper rather than what's happening on the streets. How many...

This still doesn't sound like a refutation. Do you oppose interracial and gay marriage? If you support both, why do you care if both are justified on the same logic, which I believe you do on both counts, then why do you care about the right adopting the left wing belief. Or at least discussing...

Yeah, and I'm pretty sure you've more or less made arguments for the slippery slope. Like I said, I'm pretty sure you supported multi racial marriage and gay marriage. Both on much the same reasons. Like I've said before, I think you've pretty much made arguments for his point in the past, you...

Once again though, where is he wrong? If he had phrased it that by the logic of legalizing race mixing, we must also legalize gay marriage, both of which I believe you supported, what is your disagreement?

Yeah, I am probably a bit overly grumpy up above. Disillusionment with Libertarianism still hurts occasionally I guess. I think the problem is that one side sort of wants to co-exist, the other side wants to destroy everyone else. Its built into communism. Its inherently a totalitarian ideology...
