You people are so soft. I wish this was real. There's no downside whatsoever. Press the red button, move on with your life. Either the Blue Button people live and nothing happens or we get the greatest litmus test purging ever.

It is a litmus test. If you press the blue button, you're a fucking retard. It is not a "I appreciate all life" scenario because if you appreciated life, you'd appreciate your own. That comes with an understanding that you don't foolishly throw your life away or put it callously in the hands of others. You can offer a lot of good to the world by surviving to old age. Even if it's just having kids. You can't do that if you're dead.

So yes, there is a morally correct and logical right answer to this question. If you're a real person, you can see this for what it is-another a psyop designed by retarded people to proclaim moral superiority and cudgel others. The problem is, it's pathetically obvious and they failed Kabbalah 101.
Let me be a bit more clear since I think I fucked up in my post there. I'd press the red button every single time, I don't think i'd even think twice about it.

That said, I don't get why folks go out of their way to claim why it's moral and just to press the red. I think it's a fun question, not for the response, but the justification of the button press.
 
>Sparks a constitutional crisis to own orange man
I hope the complete immolation of all political goodwill built over decades is worth spiting an old retard who will leave politics forever in 2.5 years :stress:
This result is in favor of the orange man.
 
I'm referring to the act of trying to completely nigger rig VA forever and then trying to stop the injunction against it, obviously the supreme court would never allow it. What were they thinking?
This is merely a denial of emergency stay. The Supreme Court of Virginia may nevertheless come to a different conclusion regarding the merits once the appeal is fully briefed and heard (will take a while). And, then, of course, this gets appealed to SCOTUS.

Its the same thing with the California "Stop Nick Shirley Act"

On the off chance that the State or Federal SC DOES NOT stop it:

  • They get 1000% of what they want.
  • They get to lock up their enemies
  • They get to force out their enemies from elected positions and retain them forever.
  • They get more powerful

On the chance that the State or Federal SC DOES stop it:​

  • No problem, it's just the taxpayers' money they wasted:
    • Fighting legal battles
    • Having useless meetings,
    • Retaining expensive lawyers,
    • Buying positive press (also getting their names out there for higher office),
    • etc...
  • So it doesn't affect them at all.
  • Also, the attempt incites their radical base to do more crime/assassinations against their enemies as:
    • "WE TRIED DOING THIS LEGALLY!! YOU LEFT US WITH NO CHOICE!!!"

Yeah, I think it's fun too. That's why I spent so much time discussing it these past few pages. I love this kind of psychological and manipulative word games and I love dissecting them.

I keep saying Kabbala, because in a way that's what it essentially is-a spell meant to use knee jerk reactions to control people.
 
The Gamergate era was when it started to really metastasize, but the roots of it all were clear during the GWOT era. It’s hard to really overstate how much 20th century pop culture artificially cemented people together. There’s no obvious substitute for it, now that it’s gone, and I think the fact that this division seems to mirror pre-pop culture, turn of the 20th century style political chaos, is no coincidence.
An interesting sociological hypothesis: the US was at it's most egalitarian and socially cohesive from 1920-1990, with the advent of mass pop culture through radio and movies, and especially when 3 networks dominated TV. The fragmentation causes by cable TV and the internet destroyed our culture.
 
I've been seeing a lot more "Anyone who claims to be independent is secretly a conservative." and "Anyone who says they're a libertarian is just a Republican who wants to get laid." smuggies recently and I'm actually kind of spooked about it; reminds me of COVID stuff.
Interesting position to take when they're out of power in every chamber of government and need every vote they can to get back into power. Either they're sure they're going to win the midterms or they don't care about the vote anymore and are just going to resort to violence from now on. Or they're just retarded.

Is that the truth or does it have to do with the fact that the flow of information to the public was effectively controlled by a handful of corporate gatekeepers? What was reported on, what was ignored and what was omitted?
