I can really only respond with a resounding AROOOOOOOOOO!
It is but we need to notate that sober for Nixon is drunker than my alcoholic ass has ever thought about being
Really glad I’m not the only one that saw it
Hold up, let’s not indulge the fantasy that Nixon was ever sober in the White House. Just periods of time where he was less slightly less than completely shitfaced
I agree, I’m just stating that if it doesn’t come from their own, which it never will because they insulate each other from consequences, it won’t have much of an effect
Theoretically but I’ve never seen a Christian in a position of power called on that
Oh I’m agreeing with you overall, just trying to show how poorly constructed their own perspective is, and while the depression and anxiety is obviously contributing, the underlying issue for both of those conditions for many is that our society has become completely segmented. People in my experience are not looking to expand their social circles and in general do not trust people outside of their circles.
Do many incels have clinical conditions that they don’t get treatment for because of toxic masculinity and have their perspectives reinforced by shitbags like Andrew Tate that prey on them? No doubt 100%. But I don’t think under diagnosed and treated mental health issues tell the whole story. And that is coming from someone who’s is chronically depressed, anxious, frighteningly single, who also has few friends because of a recent cross country relocation. The only people I blame for this are those at the levers of power that have been driving us in this direction for quite some time
There is at least a portion of this that is just laziness, pretty much everyone but the richest and most attractive people have to work for companionship. It has become more difficult for everyone else in the past 10-ish years as our society has become increasingly atomized socially but that’s as much quarter as I’m willing to give these women hating assholes who want a sex and chore slave instead of a relationship
This probably wouldn’t go as well as you might hope, this just gives them the opportunity to say something like “I know I’m not perfect which is why I’m thankful for the grace of my savior Jesus Christ”.
Its actually a feature of Christianity that you can sin as much as you want after you do the magic prayer, they are technically supposed to try not to, but the inevitable failure is due to man’s fallibility
Further cementing that the only founding father anyone should respect in 2024 is Thomas motherfucking Paine
Fuck you James, you helped create this problem when you handed Biden South Carolina in 2020, you might not be the only guilty party but you’re a really visible one
100% agree with you, only contention I would make is that none of those propaganda outlets would exist without the societies that preceded them by a few decades. But from a dismantling their power perspective you are quite on point about destroying their implements of radicalization
Some people get it, we’ve been screaming about it for several years but the majority either doesn't seem to give a fuck or thinks we’re looneys.
They for sure belong but I think they are mostly powered by the other think tanks mentioned
Robert Evans did a two parter of Behind the Bastards on this exact topic. I think they were titled, How Conservatism Won
Don’t forget the John Birch society
A less than fun though experiment is to comb through the past 10ish years and think of how something could’ve made it stupider. It’s really hard on a macro historical scale and it’s not even limited to geopolitics, sports, industry, entertainment it’s all one big ball of stupid shit
