Supposedly the judge's respose to this after he got out again prior to this (he has like 3 felonies and only spent 2 yrs in prison?) was "You can't expect me to toss everyone the public asks in jail."

See, honey, I can expect you to toss every convict in jail. At the very least, convicted violent offenders. Fuck you, judge, you are failing us all when you fail to keep known, proven violent assholes from harming us.

I'm sick of some people acting like innocent people getting hurt or killed by black criminals is deserved if they show any hint of being a leftist. Especially when you don't even know if they ever really believed these things in the first place, or if they still do. I dislike how this mindset encourages people to think that some people do deserve to be hurt or killed for their beliefs, and I really dislike how it takes away attention from what actually matters (Corrupt DEI judges letting career criminals go and hate crimes against white/Asian people).

Hot take, but it's not that they deserve to be hurt or killed for their beliefs, it's more they deserve no sympathy when their choices (and votes) lead to their injury or death, and it's satisfying as fuck to see arrogant people (who are arguably more violent now than "the other team") get hoisted by their own petard. Maybe it's a human failing to relish the suffering of others, but I can't condemn it when the "victims" have enabled the instruments of their own destruction.

Further, I think it brings more attention to crooked judges and DA's. "Oh, how could you laugh at this person's misfortune?" "They installed the judges and local government responsible for their deaths. Go fix that first, then you can try to guilt people."

They're companies, rarher than individual consumers, but the packaging factory I work at has been in a drought of orders this year. Late fall/winter is normally the slow period for us, but this started during the summer when we would normally be slammed.

If our customers aren't buying packaging, their customers aren't buying stuff that needs packaging.

Thats been my experiance to, winter is usually slower but like your saying it started during the summer, its like extra spending money is just drying up

you really get a sense of how "late days of rome" we are when you look at the last breakdown they published

KEEP IN MIND THIS IS NOT TOTAL, THIS REPRESENTS WHAT NEW MONEY IN THE SYSTEM IS BEING ALLOCATED TO

4th from the top is insurance, 1 and 2 are transportation and going out, people are just spanding whatever little extra money that have (likely debt) on trips and doing out to eat/drink to forget how miserable life is

we have nearly 1.25 TRILLION in consumer credit card debt
1763832427631.png

1.66 trillion in auto loan debt
1763832459648.png

and total houshold debt hitting just shy of 20 trillion

Its just, unsustainable and im worried, falling apart. you can only give people so much debt before they default.
 
As far as economics go, judge everything with your own eyes. We have been in a point of political polarization for some time now that makes objective reporting on it rather uncommon to see.

Late payments and delinquencies are also going up.

Mortgage delinquencies are also increasing, but still no where near 2008 levels.

Who honestly gives a shit if she had a BLM facebook profile picture? It was trendy at the time and everyone was doing it, even if they didn't care about it. Because people would call you racist if you didn't do it. I know plenty of people who blacked out their social media photos at the time only to avoid being called racist, not because they actually agreed with BLM. Or maybe she did believe it at the time but doesn't now. Lots of people have changed since then, I have mentioned before but I used to be a big SJW, my beliefs changed, how do you know hers hasn't changed as well?

Even if she did earnestly believe in BLM and other social justice causes, again, who cares? That still doesn't mean she deserved to get 60% of her body burned just because she has different beliefs and fell for billion dollar campaign that was pushed on everyone from every angle (Academia, government, healthcare, entertainment, social media, etc). It's not like she's some powerful political activist that pushed for this insanity and then got a taste of reality, she is just a normal young woman.

"I never thought leopards would eat MY face," sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party.
 
The whole Null/MTG situation I think really exhibits what I've posted about before of the (especially online) MAGA types being really inexperienced in following politics.

I almost had to fast forward through him glazing her on the last MATI. I don't think he's stupid, but it was rather cringey to hear him 100% back her when she was so obviously a fraud. A fraud who personally sought to destroy him, but she pointed at the current thing open nerve issue so that's all that mattered. Even assuming Null is just uninformed about her pro-illegal labor stance, to have someone publicly call for the destruction of your work, and then completely 180° on them when they make hollow powerless statements about what they know most upsets you.

Clearly it's an effective technique. Massie, Cruz, and Roy are others I can think of that have terrible records, but make big public announcements of legislation that will only happen at the basket of a guillotine. I've for a long time stated how Abortion and Guns are emotional politics that the government have spent decades not solving purposefully to distract from anything helpful the the public. H1-B

So, how do we teach them? Are we just too far down the niggercattle stampede that we'll always just be pointing at what's going on while they are just herded by loud noises? Will they just wash out after Trump if politics go back to being boring?

In this case he is dealing a communist who openly wants to punitively tax whites and Jews.

Fixed that for you. He stated very clearly that he LOVES jews just like president Trump does. If he even thought about taxing jews even a little Trump would have had him publicly executed at that very meeting.

It works because that's all the right has anymore. Politicians talking about the issues and then the right cheering that they'll even mention their problems, as opposed to the last 60 years of politics where right-wing matters were off limits and couldn't even be considered. But that's all it is. Talk. Talk from people who have no vested interest in solving the problem or who have active interest in making the problem even worse. You have the DHS Twitter posting retvrn edits and shit like that, but what is actually getting done? You have Nick Fuentes complaining about the jews, but what does he do other than complain? You have Vance and a bunch of other Republicans talking down on H1-Bs but we're just increasing the amount of visas issued. We're almost a year into Trump's second term and nothing has gotten better, but a lot of things have gotten worse. And if you think Vance will make anything better if he gets elected in '28, you're a chump. That's all there is to it.

On it. :gunt:

The Long March Through the Institutions has claimed teachers unions on behalf of neoliberalism, thereby subverting public education from its original purpose. Consequently, many students now graduate from high school without being able to read or do math. But it isn’t as if kids don’t learn anything. They learn shitlibbery:
1763835732074.png 1763835761747.png 1763835809361.png
The National Education Association is hosting a training from Dec. 2-4 at an undisclosed location called “Advancing LGBTQ+ Justice and Transgender Advocacy” aimed at dismantling “strategic racism and transphobia,” the group Defending Education uncovered.
Presiona para expandir...

A training packet was obtained that reflects an alarming ideology.

Sessions will be aimed at “dismantling systems of privilege and oppression as it relates to LGBTQ+ educators and students” and “deepen[ing] skills and strategies to confront implicit bias, micro-aggressions and stereotypes,” according to the materials.
Presiona para expandir...

Although grooming by perverts plays a part in the LGBTification of education, the main purpose is explicitly political:
Republicans are characterized as using an “arsenal of racist dog whistles,’ according to training materials. Participants are instructed how to evoke a “Race Class Gender Narrative” to push back.
Presiona para expandir...

Teachers are encouraged to push trannyism on children by various means, including pronoun pins and gender-transition guides. That should stick it good to normal people.

The NEA is the largest teachers union in the country. Erika Sanzi, senior director of communications for Defending Education, observes that it has “morphed into a far-left insane asylum that is actively destroying the cause of education.”

We don't even need to image a generation "educated" by that hebephrenic sheboon: in the California State system, neoliberalism isn’t an option; it is a requirement:
1763836379997.png
Nearly every California State University campus requires students to pass at least one diversity and cultural competency class…
Presiona para expandir...

As you might expect of the Gay Area,
San Francisco State University has among the most demanding criteria, requiring students to take courses in “areas that the campus feels are important to graduates”: American ethnic and racial minorities, environmental sustainability and climate action, global perspectives, and social justice. Some classes cover several requirements, like “Queer Crip Lit,” which examines “connections between ableism and other forms of discrimination, such as racism, sexism, classism, homophobia, and transphobia” in literary works. Another class that covers multiple requirements: “Decolonize Your Diet: Food Justice and Gendered Labor in Communities of Color” focuses on “food justice in communities of color addressing issues including sex/gender and food production, racism and attacks on traditional food systems.”

In the Land of Fruits and Nuts, shitlibbery is mandated by the government:
Under California law, Cal State students are required to take an ethnic studies course—but those are separate from the campuses’ DEI requirements.
Presiona para expandir...
1763836589128.png

Ethnic studies would more accurately be called “anti-European studies.”

Of the few Cal State campuses that don’t explicitly require students to take a diversity- or culture-centered course, most bake DEI missions into their learning goals for students. One of Sacramento State’s objectives for its general education requirements is to provide students with “a significant and useful understanding of peoples from a diversity of cultures and backgrounds.”
Presiona para expandir...

The ultimate purpose of the propaganda is explicit:
In July, that school’s president, Luke Wood, said he wanted to “eliminate” “whiteness.”

California State schools are largely funded on a coercive basis by taxpayers.
