'Descended from immigrants' can be used as technically correct in the term Soli is talking about, but as the others have pointed out, that makes the term utterly meaningless, because if you're going back to before living memory, then literally everyone everywhere in the world is descended from...

Some of the time. The relationship between the colonists/pioneers and the native tribes is as varied as the tribes. The leftist view of 'whitey is always the bad guy' is just as wrong as 'whitey is always the good-guy,' though I'm fairly sure you weren't trying to argue for either.

Do we really need to go on about what is basically celebrity drama?

He assessed both, it's just that lying is deeply Embedded in Russian military and intelligence culture.

Were they really? Or was it just that the nations he was targeting were so much smaller?

I grew up as part of a Missionary Family in a Muslim country in the Middle East, part of an independent church not associated with any particular denomination. For theological similarity to well-known denominations, Baptist would be the closest, but the only church I've ever been a member of is...

Yep. The way Catholics have walked the line with 'honoring' vs 'idolizing' saints is one of my beefs with them.

If you're arguing with perpetually online reactionary NEETS, why are you expecting a different kind of behavior? If you want a more measured, reasonable discussion, go find the local chapter of Turning Point USA, or the Republican Party, etc, and talk with people IRL. Some of us on this forum...

'Under control.' Over a billion dollars in damages just during the Summer 2020 riots, and dozens killed. Gender activists given control of school curriculum, allowed to put porn in grade schools, and in some states outright banning anything other than 'gender affirming care' for people with...

Funny, you didn't actually answer my question.

The problem that these policies seek to solve is this: "How do you incentivize people not to vote for the government to give them free stuff?" The answer proposed is "By only letting the people who have to pay for that 'free stuff' vote." What is your proposed solution to the problem?

No, it really doesn't, not the way you described 'capitalist' anyways. That would be the 'big business' lobby.

Women are, by and large, still economically dependent on men, they just have the government acting as intermediary to seize the money for them. ...Don't mistake this for me supporting the reactionary position, especially your description of it.

The main thrust has been explained directly to you multiple times. If I wasn't well-versed in psychology, I'd conclude that you were being deliberately obtuse. I'm not ruling it out, but I'm also considering the possibility that you have an ideological or emotional blindspot that is making you...

And this is the third or fourth time you've ignored the main thrust of an argument to focus on peripheral elements. I'm not as out of patience with you as Skitzy is, but the burden at this point is very much on you to prove that you're interested in an actual debate, rather than wasting other...

Yeah, and this post has ten. Your point?

You have been given a whole slew of links supporting the position that modern feminism is terrible. You've responded to what, one or two of them? If you expect people to debate you seriously, sourcing their arguments, you're asking people to spend hours building well-structured arguments. If...

I should probably add an addendum here though, for Soli's sake: Most of the posters here don't want to ban women from the workplace, think women should be required to 'stay in the kitchen' or anything like that. We believe in freedom of the individual, if a woman decides she wants to have a...

Thank you for another solid post saving me the trouble, Skitzy.

One 'study' from a leftist rag isn't an argument. At the least, you're going to have to show more sources, and their methodologies, than Skitzy did. When a woman hits 40, and realizes she's never going to be able to have the children she wanted, that's a little piece of personal hell. A...
