Is it hardwired, or trained?

I have prejudices that are wrong. I know that they are wrong. I know the kind of futures that will never exist if I exercise them. I don’t know, if it’s nature or nurture.

Oh, my dad will hear about it through his friends and talk radio. He will internalize that we need to die for it.

Then later on he’ll express that he hopes they don’t fell the remaining old growth trees in the local park. The MAGA workers there hate the leaf cleanup that they unnecessarily do. They have felled many old growth hardwood trees with disdain. Then I have to explain to him again that the primary group of people who want to preserve those trees are going to be killed by him and people like him.

No Dad, you won’t have nice things. You dumb shit!

Oh, absolutely! He will stumbling blocks thrown at him from every which way. And then his lack of progress will be pointed at by the propagandists: “look at this Democratic Socialist who did nothing! Blah blah muslim blah blah blah”

Naturalized citizens can vote. First generations can vote, and children mostly align with their parents’ beliefs.

I am not anti-immigration. At all. I am against intolerance. I am against anyone who would abuse a country’s asylum system, because it will lead to end of such lifelines.

I’m becoming more curious about whether there are biases in the type of person who chooses to immigrate (excluding refugees) to the US.

the issue is you thought people were better than they are. they aren’t.

I am very cynical, but my hope is that we can collectively improve our situation. I pull my hair out when people keep playing their tribal games. All they have to do is reason it out.

They don’t even see the connection between high property taxes and their militarized local police forces that gets the new shiny stuff each year.

The power of self-deception is incredible

The 4500 contacts were on the site before it was attacked, but is now only outdated info gathered from sources like linkedin? If so, I would love a copy.

The site is up: https://icelist.is/

But, it doesn’t have the leaked data on it. I don’t know why he is sitting on it.

We need historic voter turnout for these scenarios:

1. Elections are free and fair. Overwhelm them and take both chambers.
2. Elections are not free and fair, but in a manner that can still be overcome. Overwhelm them and take what you can.
3. Elections are totally cooked. Overwhelm them so that it is easy to reason that it was already cooked.

political views in this country are fucked

True

it’s not because politicians are evil individuals who are, en masse, conspiring against the will of the Proletariat™

False. Democrats are very truly captured by the same forces of influence that pollute our political views. They are “en masse,” because they basically try to preserve their individual gravy trains by a form of collusion to keep the status quo.

hate and propaganda has you trembling in fear

I often give the benefit of the doubt towards minorities. My internal hope is that since they are a minority, they surely have experienced bigotry, reflected on it as victims, and rejected that spirit.

That mentality of mine has been completely shattered over the last couple years. The majority of the immigrants I have known have floored me with their bigotry towards so many others. It has made me curious: Are they attracted to that part of our culture? Is this the predominant spirit of the world? What the hell does it mean?

Adams is a dickhole collaborator. I’m surprised the contract was only around $600k. How much so you think Adams got on top?

I wish Mamdani the best. There’s so much happening to be able to ingest it all, but so far he seems genuine. My natural glare of “what SHIT are you up to!??” has so far yielded nothing; Good. More!

Good! Fingers crossed it stays out of any political lens.

A Minnesota man:

“Luigi, come with me, we need you!”

Are there anymore shit lists like that for other entities? Non-english is fine.

I recently discovered https://www.splcenter.org/

This is another facet of their bullying spirit. Them: “We have full immunity. We have full anonymity. We will beat and murder you, then get rotated out for a little R&R.”

For any possible justice, we need to document every feature of these thugs.

Not surprising. I recall when she “forgave” and every media outlet and commentator was like “this is wonderful, healing and what we all need to do!”

Why are so many folks so dumb in recognizing charlatans? We need education just for this. Know when you’re being played!

I don’t think any of us have any had therapy. I haven’t. Some inner voice keeps telling me it won’t be useful enough for the hassle and liability of finding a therapist that is really therapeutic for me. Dumb reason probably, but it is such a strong force in my thinking for some reason.

Makes sense.
