You don't have to feal fear or hate to think that a religion (ideology) is problematic.

I wanted to make it diplomatic and said weak. Actually you didn't have any argument at all as far as I can see regarding the validity and the importance of the numbers. I wrote before in another thread that you don't use arguments.

First of all you did not really challenge these numbers anyway. So it is unclear what your point is.

@Robi Steel I agree with most of you said. So what is your plan? Does this forum have any value left for you? From which places are you going to get your inspiration from?

You mean you wish it to be personal. In real life almost everything is political. Sex and partnership is the most important thing in the life of most people. So it is probably very important. If too many people are not happy or angry that is not too good. Many wars were done just for this. Like in black lives matter a lot of men might not happy with the situation and might "break the contract"

Yes with good arguments not with bad ones imho

Sorry this is weak.

I forgot Berlusconi. Trump is not so special as we think

How dare you

Yes be the hero like in die hard. The Uberfather. Could be a new superhero. There is that one guy could father so many wild animals like lions and so on. So it should be possible to find a way for people theoretically.

Is this the answer to my question?

Why do you think abortions are so bad? From a religious position or from secular ethic?

Nice saying but the circumstances are important for how the law is used. A white guy and a black guy using the N-word makes a difference.

Yes maybe. additionally in the wishlist: No borders No genders No races No police No hierarchies total equality and so on...

USA got sucked into the role in world war 2. Then later with Sowjetunion that was a totalitarian state that captured many countries. Then later with the Korean war where they saved South Korea. Later things went downhill from there it seems. The South Koreans are still to this day very thankful to the countries that helped them. I read about Ethiopia and Turkey who faught there.

I would like to hear more about it https://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=pbdetail&iid=5137

Well our job is to find out which experts are not biased. One way to do it is listen to the people (opposing experts) who have the opposite opinion. If they can be convincing (with statistics maybe) then go with it. If not the experts were right.

I know. One guy already told some good reasons. I would put it this way. If the US would not have freed itself from Britain it might have been like other countries. They would just be a part of something else. On it's own because of it's size it became an empire on it's own. An empire needs a state ideology to legitimize itself and to keep diverse people together. Then it got pushed into the role of world police. Once you have that job a thing like "professional deformation" happens. You get an authoritarian personality.

What I wanted to say is that the general public is not always right. They can be biased and brainwashed too.

The general public in North Korea thinks probably their leader is great. Do you even want to know the "facts" even if they are "ugly".

I am not shure what is the measurement of development. One way to see the west is a good functioning work camp. From the outside it looks not too bad but maybe it is not so good as it seems. https://selfishactivist.com/why-white-people-cant-dance-theyre-traumatized/

Why would leftist social scientists be biased against their own interests?

Well to be honest I can not even proof to you that the earth is a globe. In this site even science is not taken always as proof because science works very good but it is not an absolute proof. In the end you make your research and come up with a decision. When I for example do math 100% of the time if I have a different answer to a math problem it's an error from my side not from the experts. If you think you are so much better than the experts I am ok with but if you want to convince others you might use statistics. I don't try to convince you btw. Edtit: One thing more I mentioned the youtube guys because we can understand them and trust them somewhat. They got their information from real experts with degrees. The info is out in the open and it is not really contested by people with university professor degrees. You can google the research papers.

Ok do you believe that most of the the leftist pundits are wrong? Even if that is their full time job? Even if they accept these numbers that are against their interests? Do you think you are more clever than them? People like Kyle Kulinsky, David Packman, Vaush.

Not only me. You can not convince people without taking statistics seriously.
