Has anyone left winger ever explained how the founders were all white supremacist nutzees and yet they intended for every retarded nigger and Arab to be able to come to the U.S and shit out a kid when they wrote the Constitution?

Not a left-winger but the 14th Amendment came about 100 years after the founders were a thing?

Next time understand the assignment. [<-- SC reference]

At first, I was whatever about Mamdani but now I don't like him out of spite. Why is the mayor of New York being treated like the president? Who gives a shit what he has to say about the 250th in the first place?

It is awfully strange the press gives openly-seditious and anti-American politicians so much air time to discuss America's 250th anniversary. Oh wait, no it isn't. They're as seditious and anti-American as the communists in NYC.

NYC has tons of wealth. This brownoid has the opportunity to fuck with the entire US economy because we decided the Jewish Urbanization HQ was a perfectly fine pro-human plan somewhere along the line.

New York City is the wealthiest city in the U.S. and globally, holding over $3 trillion to $5 trillion in total private wealth. It is home to roughly 385,000 millionaires (meaning about 1 in 22 residents is a millionaire), 818 centi-millionaires, and 66 billionaires

Green energy at best is good for remote low power or back up additional power generation it’s something you slap onto a building in order to reduce the load that other types of generators have to output

I like solar panels in the parking lot. Keeps the car cool and shaded and you don't have to worry about making the ground below them a barren wasteland. I was parking at an airport that had that somewhere.

We must be looking at very different crowds of leftards, because I've seen even no small number of Redditors shitting on Hasan for being the textbook exemplar of a loathsome champagne socialist, shocking Kaya, etc. and on China for violating central tenets of Marxism in the name of pragmatism. Being a big fan of Mao & thinking Deng betrayed his legacy by not being as pants-shittingly insane, allowing market reforms & so on is a hallmark of tankie thought (just as they like to give late-stage Lenin crap for employing the New Economic Plan).

Except, I'm not talking about leftards, I'm talking about conservatards who believe Communist or Christian ideology who claim their ideology isn't rooted in leftism and claim every nation is dies in that ideology wasn't "real x" but all the nations that survived are "real x"
I don't give a shit about what reddit tankies say, I give a shit about what the actual Chicoms say cuz they are the ones actually running the country.

Go up to them and ask them about why they would be communist despite it being a destructive ideology, they'll the same shit.
"That wasn't real Communism, real communism is the People's Republic of China and we are thriving therefore Communism works and is proof that Communism can be a foundation of great societies"
Chuckwagon dijo:
This is such a broad category that it would apply to literally every single religion & ideology out there, including Islam and capitalism, and thus be useless as a criticism. Even Britain & the US didn't implement unvarnished perfect laissez-faire capitalism & free trade with no adaptation whatsoever to the realities of their respective situations either (for example, Gilded Age America - which is what most people think of when they hear 'peak unfettered capitalism' in an American context - generally had extremely high, 40-50% tariffs contrary to the dictates of Adam Smith
Presiona para expandir...
I'm aware that Britain and the US are not 100% lassez-faire Capitalist.
I don't see what that has to do with my point? I am not talking about heavily specific policies that the countries run on.

I am just saying there are many instances that retarded ideologies and systems can start out retarded and change into something that's workable and functional which creates the illusion that it "works" and it's not a retarded ideology.

Communism is dying because true Communist countries that stay true to Communist ideology are dying and the only ones remaining are the ones that work.
That's my only point.
Chuckwagon dijo:
For a modern example AJ (Al-Jolani/Al-Sharaa) has sanded down the rough edges of Islamism in Syria and created probably the first ever functional Sunni Islamist state which also gets along (more or less) with the USA, in no way does this erase his history as a literal Al Qaeda emir or make him not an Islamist except in the eyes of even more insane Islamists who'd rather roll with the dysfunctional but 'purer' Afghanistan model instead.

How would it not? Islam is about killing yourself many other people to die in heaven and be rewarded with 72 virgins. It's the religion of killing other people in the name of Allah if they do not convert to Islam and basically being a doomsday death cult even more so than Christianity.
If someone is less murderery, and less radical about being willing to kill other people to convert them to your religion, you are less of a Muslim because you are deviating from the core rhetoric of the religion.
The same way that someone who is like "I favor capitalism but I am okay with a few exceptions like having universal healthcare, or putting some regulations on companies destroying the environment or whatever is less of a Libertarian than someone who is a straight up anarcho-capitalist who believes in a 100% laissez-faire capitalism and free trade with no adaptation to realities of respective situations.
Sure, you can say that is retarded and insane, but it is the "realest" version of Libertarianism than the common "I wanna lower taxes and still support some universal healthcare" Libertarianism lite.
Another example of how someone can be more of a "real libertarian" is if they think the moon landing is fake, because Libertarianism is basically hating anything the government does

Islam is killer deathcult, if some Muslim politician decided to make his Muslim society stray from the violent doctrine of Islam and turn his country into a "kumbaya, we are a religion of peace and we support le coexistence with other religions cuz peace man" version of a muslim society.
He is fundamentally less Muslim, even if he reforms his society to something more functional and better than being a shitty deathcult that stones people for objecting to worshipping a man who married a 9 year old.
Would it be a better society? Sure, but it is essentially less muslim. Than "real Islam"

Feminism is saying men and women are the same and there is no difference between them and it's all just social constructs.
But then there are terfs who claim that Feminists who support troons are "not real feminists" and that the terfs are the "real feminists" despite the fact that 2nd wavers laid the foundation of troonery when they said that any difference between man and women expressed in society like gender roles and norms were social constructs.
This lead to the idea that gender is a social construct which led to troonery since gender being a social construct is basically permission for someone to put on a skirt and call themselves a girl because "it's all just a social construct so why stop me from calling me a girl?"
And of course, women on this site love to lecture about how feminists supporting troons is "not real feminism" when it's completely ass backwards.
Real Feminism is hysterical women screeching about patriarchy and wanting to deny any existence of gender differences between men and women to the point of supporting troonery, the more you deviate that by not being a gender deconstructivist and not supporting troonery, the less of a feminist you are even if you are more sane because of it.


And it's literally the thing they always use, "That example of X is not real X because that led to bad things, but the version of X is real because it led to good things." it's the same exact argument that every person who supports shitty ideology and doctrines who don't want to admit that they are inherently shitty ideologies and doctrines use and you are not an exception.
Chuckwagon dijo:
I would daresay that not only has Christianity adapted to become the founding cornerstone of many successful & long-lasting kingdoms/nations, but its record is observably a far more successful one than many secular-materialist ideologies that are all about the 'here & now' like Communism.
Presiona para expandir...
Any ideology can "adapt" to become the "founding cornserstone of successful and long-lasting kingdoms/nations because "Ideologies" and religions don't create things.

  1. The descendants of those successful kingdoms/nations that you are thinking of are in decline.
  2. China is now on its way to becoming a superpower.

Whenever the Soviets made any new innovation in the nuclear arms race, they often love to credit "Muh communism" for the fact that some mathematician in that worked in their space agency was able to come up with the right equations to make their missiles fly.
When the Chinese probably start making rapid advancements in AI technology faster than the West, they are going to credit the communist party because their computer scientists were intelligent enough to code in and program the AIs to make them even better than Grok or something.

Whenever the UAE makes yet another ridiculously big and expensive resort hotel skyscraper, or an update to their weather manipulation system. Muslim scholars there love to credit "Islamic values" for the fact that their engineers were able to calculate the right equations to make the buildings stand.

Religions or Ideologies do not create things, people do. If I went back in time to the Roman Empire right when Christianity began to surface and instead preached Pastafarianism, all those "successful and long-lasting kingdoms/nations would have remained largely the same except Pastafarianism would be their state religion.

And we would be having the exact same conversation except you would be praising Pastafarianism as the "cornerstone of many successful and long-lasting kingdoms/nations"

There's a lot of smart places to put solar panels. Ground-level open-air parking lots are among the best. It's "free" space, better for the cars parking there (ergo you can charge more for the parking), they're easy to access for maintenance and cleaning, they're out of the way, easy to install, and they're not even an eye sore from ground level. That's relatively "smart" use of potentially otherwise minimally-useful land (parking lots in dense urban areas tend not to be all that big, meaning the land itself can't really be used for much else since not much else will actually fit there that you could get zoning for and convince people to use).

Rooftops are good spots in general (assuming they're not being used for other purposes) too, especially big ones where you can actually slap down enough panels to power most (or all) of your building's consumption. Some of the Vegas casinos are experimenting with that to modest success. As always, it comes down to build quality and maintenance issues that determine whether any given solar panel installation recoups its installation costs over its lifetime or not.

I was trained to know that if you feel ribs break, it means you’re doing it right and to KEEP GOING.
CPR is brutal, but it’s either that or you’re dead and whatever happens after is whatever happens after. At that age, man there’s no chance he’s not in real rough shape after that.
Presiona para expandir...
Yeah that's more or less the gist of it. Keep going. Continuation of high quality compressions and adequate ventilation is the entire game. Zero to few breaks in administering that. That's where the Lucas beats the shit out of you or me. The thing just keeps going and lets me focus on higher order problems like how I'm gonna get this person out should they get a pulse back.

All that being said, enough epinephrine will often allow you to get a pulse back on people that maybe shouldn't have a pulse, like the fairly beyond saving. I had a nurse once tell me I turned a guy's thoracic cavity into Manhattan Clam Chowder after 45 minutes of CPR, and that was actually successful ROSC, so make of that what you will.

Those of you with old or infirm parents ought to discuss DNRs. Nothing bothers me more than going Mike Tyson on a frail old lady who's been a confused corpse for 3 years because all her half-wit Jamaican Health Aide knows is that Nana is a Full Code.
