Padawans?

Thank you Adam Sandler for propping this guy up and keeping him somewhat famous way past his relevance…

AKA cultural genocide.

I agree with you COVID didn’t radicalize anyone. It just so happened to occur at the same time as Trump and other countries as they took a turn towards fascism. Antiscience and anti intellectualism go with the fascist playbook. They used COVID as a kind of red herring. COVID, trans people, Muslims, border, aliens. It would have been something no matter what.

Makes s nse as Google is the shittiest it has ever been.

Chuck Schumer! That was a complete sentence.

Andrew Jackson did not have close to the backing from the supreme Court Trump has. They basically said if the president does it, it can not be wrong. Jackson ignored rulings, Trump doesn’t even have to do that. Trump controls the courts. We progressed to a degree even worse than Jackson.

I think they meant they swung right at a higher percentage than that age range normally does. Link below shows the youngest group voting 60+% for the left.

It wasn’t a dig. All those things you mentioned were not straight up authoritarianism, they were in part by the largest group voting group getting their way. That’s what the voters want. It was extremely shitty stuff and I never said it wasn’t. Just because these happened doesn’t mean it was because of authoritarianism. We slowly evolved getting better over time, but now we are regressing. And it will be extremely difficult to vote our way out of it, even when the majority of eligible voters want to. In no time in our Constitutional history has so much power been under one man.

It wasn’t necessary athoritarian previously. It was really following the will of the people of the time. Essentially white dudes voting in white dudes to protect their shitty interests. That is not where the majority of the population is now. Society has shifted beyond where the government is, that is why they are trying to control the voting process.

This would be the end of a free USA. Real authoritarianism. The end. Fake elections from here on, just like Russia, Venezuela, etc. We are screwed if this happens. The fascists are winning.

They had Kash Patel, a polarizing, politically appointed baffoon, in the locker room celebrating with them. They drank and put good medals on him while he misused US property and funds to be there. THEY made it political.

Most of our bad media was already an import from Australia.

As an American I thought it would be much worse. 75% or more. We have been shitty neighbors. Seriously, threats, tariffs, insults, etc.

We already agreed to that when Ukraine gave up the nucs. Look what that did, nothing. Why would they try again?

They did the same with Jobs. We value success not intelligence. It just happens success favors sociopathic behaviors as they will do anything to achieve it. They don’t have empathy for those they hurt on the way up.

Two important parts of a battery are how much energy it can store in a certain space and how much it weighs. If it is bigger and holds the same amount of energy that might be ok for a non mobile storage if it costs less, like a house. If it weighs more for a certain energy that wouldn’t be useful for cars and mobile things but might be ok for small things where the weight is negligible anyway. For cars you want a small energy dense battery that is light as possible

Woke has been around. It had a resurgence during the BLM era. The right latched on to the word and use it negatively, but it isn’t their word and they didn’t create it. If they want to use it, fine, but they don’t own it. And better yet throw it back in their faces.

Irony ending on 88…years.

and darkness…

The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance”
