Let’s start with two simple axioms:

1. Certain sorts of the mentally ill seek power over others as they cannot control themselves. it’s a way to try to substitute regulating the world around them for self-stability by seeking to make their own internal dysregulation seem fitting or laudable; it’s environment as surrogate for self.



2. The anxious and insecure seek out powerful patrons/ideologies to which to conform in order to feel “safe.” when you have little faith in your own identity or drives, the desire to be subsumed and validated by the will of others is a powerful opiate; again environment as surrogate for self.

The confluence of these two trends creates the alliance that is the DEI calamity: it’s an externalization of internal instability.

It also ensures its endless escalation until it eats itself an fiery singularity of absurdity because staying atop the hierarchy requires ever more intense and baroque protestations of marginalization and fealty.

Yep, she's pregnant.

These "avatars" don't have legs and lower bodies.

Guess which ones are the assailants.

I think liberalism (the current form of liberalism (maybe we should say progessivism?)) is a form of unresolved/repressed anger looking for a way to express itself without the consequences?

Ppl.are waking up. The Hoi Polloi.

Same thing happened in the late 70s and definitely in the 80s.

But I am the only one (usually) who asks, "What was a surveillance camera doing in the patient's room?"

Agree it's bad, but always just assume you're on camera at this point. I know there's the privacy and cash thread, but good luck. With Ring doorbells on every house. Hunting cameras. Traffic cameras. Store cameras. You legit cannot move around without being known at this point.

Friends with an engineer in a county of 1M people. What you see on stoplights is watching you. Can do facial recognition. If you're at a stop light and there's something else attached besides the light it's watching you. They claim here that it's for traffic control and snow removal. He admitted it's to track people more than anything.

How come liberals still winning youth?

nothing new for youth today that didn’t afflict humanity before.

True, just that "youth" lasts longer today.

Increasing minimum wage has nothing to do with it. If the min wage is below market, it has no effect. If the min wage is above market, it causes unemployment. Inflation is caused by money printing.

This thread was started to discuss the disorder but the memes are a bonus.
Here's one I'm pondering.
The way Liberals are against everything and anything Trump is behind. Even if being against it, aligns them with humanities worst specimens.
They will gladly go the way of the Dodo.

I just don't get it, like Trump cleaning up crime in crime infested cities.
One would think the Democrats would gladly go along with it, even if they didn't add any effort of their own doing. Let Trump clean up their Liberal shit holes, then just sit back and let him reduce crime and make their city safe. But they could be there to play off any backlash or downsides that might have affected their base. While running for reelections boasting how crime is down. Their base is just that stupid to buy it.

But to wage legal battles to prevent Trump from coming into their cities, on the heels of a violent weekend that killed maimed and shot hundreds of people, is just insane. Even their base is affected by the violence, it's neighbors and family getting gunned down in those cities.
They resist Trump's efforts and more feral beasts kill innocent people on a subway and they look to blame Trump and America, is just pure stupidity, even their base isn't that dumb.
