The idea that a flat earther would actively pull their child out of geography class, while funny, is guaranteed to be a microscopic outlier if it happens at all.
Ah, but interestingly this is now a legal RIGHT they would have. Before it would have been impossible without home-schooling. This sets the precedent that parents and/or guardians can selectively opt-out of certain materials at public school, provided that it can be provably related to religion. Since the state can't perfectly dictate what is a religious belief vs. not, the implications of this law are larger than it's immediate effects re: Muslim/LBGTQ+. I believe one of the justices said something to the effect of it having generational implications.
 
They do. Do you actually believe in today's climate they'd be boasting openly about it? They'd rather save their own children and families than risk outrage mobs constantly fucking with their genuine efforts to fix the problem.

there are people who make whole ass careers out of supposedly being success stories of conversion therapy. they write books and have conferences. they are still very obviously very gay.
 
Wasn’t the problem with conversion shit is a lot of predators infiltrated it to get access to victims?

Among other things. Blaming a conspiracy ignores that promising desperate parents that you can "cure" their sons homosexuality was always going to attract the worst grifters searching for marks. Driving anyone respectable from the field and blacklisting it then ensured that there was system by which parents could differentiate genuine practioners who might have success in some cases from frauds or abusers. Add in the infiltration of prosperity gospel types into American evangelical Christianity and you had a recipe for disaster.

It is perfectly possible to say that for some, perhaps many, there are benifits to explorative therapy, while also acknowledging that as it functioned in the USA during the 1980s/1990s "conversion therapy" was a scourge that drove thousands to suicide. It is also perfectly consistent to acknowledge that the network of camps run by closeted prosperity gospel peddling pedophiles fully deserved not just to be shut down but nuked from orbit while also calling out the fanatics and predators pushing to prescribe any therapy.

We shouldn't have revisionist history. Almost
 
Rwanda and the Congo are more important then Canada:story:
I mean the Congo is actually pretty good land for human civilization, it has a lot of natural resources, the land is fertile, large river system, etc. In comparison, Canada is mostly frozen tundra, though it does have a lot of oil. The issue is that the Congo is inhabited by niggers, and niggers ruin everything.
 
He isn't insane.. I think "eccentric" would be a better term.
Fox Business interview today. It seems like he is actually get main stream media attention this time around.

I mean it's a 4 way race. He carried 27% last time. Assume that stays the same. He has over a quarter of the pie. The other 3 will be fighting over the remaining 73% of the vote. That is 24.3% divided evenly between the other 3. He could win literally by doing nothing and letting the others Duke it out.
 
The thing about zoomers is they fit perfectly into the modern technocratic mold. They are vibes based so they will just do whatever they are told. Their autonomy or lack of independence is only maddening from our perspective. Its very useful that they are end users and not louis rossman.
As a customer base to sell a product or service to, zoomers are great. Same goes for jobs with zero analysis, problem solving or technical creation required. The majority of those jobs aren't going to ever buy a house however, or pay off their student loans, which is an issue.
