It seems that the woke trans agenda is rather bullshit and is based on terrorism, rather than anything that is actually meaningful and would make a positive impact on the community.

No matter how hard the right tries to make "woke" a pejorative, they fail. It's like making "kind," "compassionate," and "tolerant" insults. "Agenda" is dismissive and gets tossed around a lot as well when the establishment doesn't want to share power and rights: gays have an agenda, feminists have an agenda, Blacks have an agenda. It's just an "agenda," so it can be ignored. Trans people just want equal rights. The right to be who they are without stigma, threat of violence, and being treated with disdain. It amazes me that gay people don't get that. We know that the VAST majority of these people are not advocating violence, but there will always be outliers, but they do not define the group at all. Having said that, historically, a lot of "rights-seekers" have only resorted to violence when every else fails. And one man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist depending on where you stand on the issue.

I am also very alarmed that any gay person would align themselves with the "anti-woke" groups. Believe me, these people are not our friends.

Or as Elon put it recently, "The woke mind virus is a parasite that kills its host. It must be eliminated."

Where have I seen that kind of talk before?

Fascist is also a pejorative. Own it.

Elon says? Sounds as though you have a new god.

PS. your retort "items on sale, so what? pretty normal" - Correct. Congratulations. My post was satire. Of you.

If so...heavily veiled.

@blablarg18 Wow. This, and the god stuff, explains everything. Tucker bloody Carlson. Holy shit.

If you seriously cannot see through this asshole's scam, you are so far down the rabbit hole, there is no hope.

@raphjd This has nothing to do with liberal or conservative. Carlson, a self-confessed liar, paid 20 million a year to peddle conspiracy theories, is in a class all his own. He is the crooked televangelist of "nooz."

@blablarg18 Shifting through maybes in the blame game, only one thing is fact: Putin invaded Ukraine. Moreover, his Russo-centric, revisionist rhetoric before and after the invasion hardly supports his desiring of a "peaceful" solution. A solution to a problem he created to boot. We've seen this shit before. Never thought I would see so many "Chamberlains" on the right.

@blablarg18 I read your fictional article. I'm supposed believe Israel? Don't think so.

You knowledge of past history is quite sound. Although you conveniently left out the part of the Soviet Union invading Poland right after Germany? And I am sure you are well aware of the Katyn massacre which the Soviets blamed on the Nazis? And I am sure you are aware of the Holodomor which prompted many Ukrainians to erroneously great the Nazis as liberators. Of course they were wrong. But the Russians were just as bad as the Germans, even worse if you talk to people who live here. And that history doesn't matter anyway. The current situation is: Russia invaded Ukraine. If you think Putin was seriously worried about Nato invading Russia, your delusional. What Putin doesn't want is a prosperous liberal democracy on his doorstep, so all his people can see what a shithole he has turned their country into. Not even turned into. Just kept that way. Russia has had the worst version of every form of government they've ever had. And they lie. Bold-faced lies one after the other. You may be a completely pacifist above everything. And that I can respect. But an apologist for Russia? No. It's just not doable.

You should just focus on your culture wars and leave foreign policy to the adults.

@blablarg18 When I made that comment about the Israeli government, I kind of wondered if blabla would then play the false-equivalent anti-Semitic card. Thanks for not disappointing.

Once again you prove that you know some about the small picture, but can't really get your head around complex issues.

And I again invite you to come to Poland and talk to some of the "evil" Ukrainian refugees here and ask them what they want for the future of their country.

But don't listen to me. Do continue to worship at the altar of Tucker and the conspiracy theorists. Their crap seems easiest for you to digest.

@blablarg18 Yes, you are just like Tucker. You just imply that someone is a pedo/Jew-hater rather than accuse them. Because that is VERY different. And I don't jump through hoops; you are just unable to see gray.

I've missed not one bit of the very complicated history that is Central/Eastern Europe. I know it very well for reasons that you wouldn't believe anyway, so why bother. My point was, feeling threatened or not, Russia started this war illegally. You don't get to start killing people just because you feel threatened. Unless you are living in a Red State. Putin needs to die. Ukraine needs to be free and pursue whatever they want as a sovereign nation. And if you listen to Putin and his cronies BS since just before all of this started, you will see what he has in mind. And it ain't compromise.

@blablarg18 Omg....you are HILARIOUS. SNL needs to do a skit about a basement conspiracy theorists starring you.

Each one of those stories (and more!) made the news this week. The "failed" counteroffensive is in early days and has become even more interesting with the Wagner wrench thrown in. You do know that wars are not like a video games, right? They are not decided in a matter of hours.

Perhaps the news of the possible implosion wasn't released because some people like to have all the facts rather than jump to conclusions?

You should try that.

@blablarg18 We've all seen your "facts," clown. We know your sources, as well. You are very Tucker in how you string some truths that fit your narrative, ignore those that don't, add a whole bunch of untruths, and there you are. I can see why religion appeals to you; reality doesn't really fit you.

@blablarg18 said in Search for Titan was a 'nightmarish charade' says James Cameron - and Biden Regime staged it:

But then 24 hours, The Party told u Wagner are freedom fighters.

This is the kind of crap I'm talking about. You are so drenched in conspiracy theory that each one of your "conclusions" is more ridiculous than the last.

There is no "Party." No one has called Wagner "freedom fighters" by a LONG shot. Talk about mental gymnastics?

You are tediously predictable. Everything that happens is an evil liberal plot. Seriously, dude. Stop kidding yourself. You need a different hobby.

@blablarg18 Love that picture. Very symbolic. That rickety little boat isn't going to survive very well on its own. It's passenger has become lazy and complacent, and is not prepared for what is about to hit him.

@blablarg18 In several parts of the world, public nudity is at times and in some places legal. Not everyone is so perverted/repressed/prudish to automatically associated nudity with sex.

Cultural differences I guess.

@blablarg18 said in "Flab Pride" guys show junk to kids:

"not all nudity is sexual" - Obvious. Yawn

And yet you started this thread by implying that naked bikers were waving their junk in children's faces. "Flab Pride" guys show junk to kids." Yawn.

We all agree that children should not be exposed to sexual acts and imagery, but good luck with that in our modern world. And this attack on drag queens and pride parades by the right is total bullshit and we know it. They can't (for now) directly go after the queers, so they are using the same "Save the Children" smokescreen that Anita Bryant used when it was acceptable to go after the queers. Here in Poland, the anti-LGBT groups actually call themselves "Stop-Pedophilia." Comically ironic in this Catholic country.

So let's be honest:

1. Most pedos are straight men who prey on young girls. 82% (est.) of child abuse victims are girls and the vast majority know their abuser. And clinical pedophilia is not even about sex. Like rape, it's about control and humiliation. Even most abusive priests are not pedophiles in the clinical sense of the word. There are some, and they prey on girls and boys, but many are just repressed homosexuals and they don't go after pre-pubescents (which is the group pedophiles prefer).

2. Drag queens are NOT sexy. They are clowns. If you find them sexy, that says more about you than them.

3. Most sexualized entertainment comes from straight women performing for straight men. And it is EVERYWHERE: music videos, concerts, advertising, cheerleaders. Sexuality is endemic on TV and in movies and as long as it's hetero, you don't hear much fuss.

4. Of course there are people who take things too far at Pride festivals, etc. But the VAST majority do not. But there are also people who take things too far at Mardis Gras, Carnival, Folsom, Daytona Beach, car shows/races etc. etc. There are girls on almost every beach wearing little more than panty shields and dental floss. But you don't hear straight men complaining about that. Wonder why?

So yes, be outraged about protecting children. But be consistent and honest. Tucker Carlson and his ilk are NOT our allies. Don't get suckered into their bullshit outrage.

I can't believe I'm defending homosexuals to homosexuals. It's absurd.


@raphjd As you assume to know what I believe or what drives me crazy, or you think that it is logical to lump me into a group of "you people," there really is no point in pretending we are having a worthwhile discussion. What really drives me crazy is trying to have a rational discussion with a blind zealot. You not only lack substance in your arguments, but also erroneously presume that everyone is as mule-headedly dogmatic as you seem to b

@blablarg18 We do not know the reason the FBI wants them to view the document at the FBI. But if they want to see it they can. I am, however, quite sure that like all GOP-Fox "scandals" nothing is going to come out of this. How dumb am I? Not dumb enough to have already found the murderer guilty before seeing any evidence at all. And you?

Poland is a democracy, and yes, the ruling hard right party is in charge. They got about 45% of the vote in the last election. All of my Polish friends hate them with a passion. Like in the US, their supporters are mainly poor, uneducated, religious fanatics. They are doing all they can to buy these people's votes with socialist-style giveaways and pandering to culture wars. So I would imagine that a genius like you could see that their policies do not reflect the country as a whole. Like in the US, in the developed, well-educated urban centers, the left is in charge.

@raphjd said in USSA watch: Biden took foreign bribe, so indict Trump:

Your extreme hatred of Fox shows you are a blatant liberal with extreme TDS.
Let's not forget that it was your liberal media that lies about everything.

Wrong. My hatred for Fox is indicative of my respect for real journalism. Call it a professional interest. And again you're assuming; just because I hate Fox does not mean I love MSNBC. I like news, not opinions. Just give me the facts and I will draw my own conclusions. There is absolutely no defense whatsoever for Murdoch and his brand of strictly-for-profit, tabloid, fear-mongering, dishonest shit. He has single-handedly destroyed politics in America. It has been horrible to watch.

@blablarg18 said in USA stops its official racism in uni admissions, so Obamas tweet about "oppression" - from a luxury yacht:

(yes I just observed Tucker WAYYyyyyy smarter than you @jaroonn - so, if he is dumb, imagine where it put you on pecking order)

I never said that Tucker was stupid; far from it. He is a world-class grifter who panders to the stupid. His bank account thanks you.

@raphjd I'm not "on a side." The world is much more complicated than that.
