  1. Are you familiar with The Haavara Agreement "an agreement between Nazi Germany and Zionist organizations signed on 25 August 1933. The agreement was finalized after three months of talks by the Zionist Federation of Germany, the Anglo-Palestine Bank (under the directive of the Jewish Agency) and the economic authorities of Nazi Germany. It was a major factor in making possible the migration of approximately 60,000 German Jews to Palestine between 1933 and 1939.[1]"
  2. Right, socialists and third parties barely run in small races, only big showy races. They barely do any work other than disparage democrats \/ To build a party, you have to start building, not just plan your executive suite.
  3. The socialists in the u.s. openly hate the Democrats, democrats don't support socialism.
  4. "(h) The Attorney General shall issue specific guidance that ensures domestic terrorism priorities include politically motivated terrorist acts such as organized doxing campaigns, swatting, rioting, looting, trespass, assault, destruction of property, threats of violence, and civil disorder. "
  5. Democrat leading by 10 in Republican held southern governor race, Virginia Virginia Mercury New poll: Spanberger takes 10-point lead, makes gains with younger ... 2 hours ago — Democratic nominee Abigail Spanberger has opened a double-digit lead over Republican Winsome Earle-Sears in Virginia's governor's race,
  6. We have states, cities, and seats in congress that are essentially uncontested and owned by one side of the aisle, 3rd parties could run there and the socialist voters not worry about throwing their vote away, either the Democrat or socialist will still win. In the u.s. we vote for each individual candidate and seat, we don't just select a party for all the seats.
  7. That doesn't track when you look at solid districts, why don't socialists run in solid left districts, they're fuking lazy.
  8. This is the best rebublicans have, and socialists are worried about democrats not being charismatic enough..... idiocracy everywhere.
  9. The American parties are fluid, we vote for unique candidates other countries vote for parties. Support a third party, it still moves the political needle, but you can build a third party here just no one does.
  10. 0 No, this is a budget fight: republicans want to cut healthcare, democrats aren't willing to negotiate it.
  11. Most people aren't literally retarded, even kids. If your kid is considering heroin, your kid is not doing well. What kid in Portland sees the zombies everywhere and thinks "ahhhh yah!", It's the biggest equivalent to the anti-smoking campaign there is.
  12. People have not gotten more mature for weed legalization, I'm not sure what you're referring to. Opium was legal and available until the 1900s, it became a larger problem when it was criminalized, same with marijuana. It's the 'nanny state' issue, not allowing people to think for themselves, you make people more Immature with 'nanny state' laws. War on drugs starts 1971, Drug abuse act creating stiffer sentences starts 1990, both followed by steep upticks in drug use. Carter 77-81 pushed back on war on drugs, a steep decline followed.
  13. I don't see it. Trumps military use is to backup ICE, because immigration enforcement numbers are so low. His big thing first term was immigration "the wall", deportations are his attempt to accomplish something. Democrats are kicking ICEs ass on the street, the national guard is a last ditch effort against immigration.
  14. I don't think you can make such sweeping conclusions off 4 years, of which drug overdoses declined in the last year. Everywhere saw drug use spike from covid as well. It was the worst timing for legalization. Not that I support legalizing heroin, I think other things need done first.
  15. A week Ice, fbi, Military, and construction don't get paid during a shutdown muhahaha. Trump will cave, he's an idiot doing this.
  16. The d.c. national guard deployment is to protect pedohpiles.....?
  17. I kind of agree with you, historically it's true, but I think that's only because of timing: timing of mass migration coupled with western economic dominance. I think other cultures would be the same way if the shoe were on the other foot. @Thought Art look at how this guy views us, imagine if our culture never had Jesus' teachings.
  18. pre-christian Roman religion "Actions that violated religious tradition or custom were seen as offenses against the gods, which could endanger the entire community. The focus was on maintaining social and cosmic order. Correction of wrongdoing Rather than repenting, a Roman would perform a specific ritual or sacrifice to propitiate or appease the gods. The purpose was to reestablish a proper balance and restore the correct relationship with the divine." "Specific Offenses Violating rituals and public order: Performing rituals improperly, such as using incorrect forms of sacrifice or purification, was an offense that disrupted the harmonious relationship between the gods and the state. Iconoclasm: The destruction or mutilation of divine images and idols was a significant religious and political act, seen as an attempt to neutralize the gods' power. Refusal to worship state gods: Not participating in the official cults and sacrifices that affirmed loyalty to Rome and its gods was a form of impiety, especially in the context of the imperial cult. Promoting "foreign" cults: Introducing and adhering to new or foreign cults, such as early Christianity, was considered superstitio (superstition) that could lead to rebellion, factionalism, and instability. Improper religious conduct: Actions such as attending to funeral rites and then approaching celestial gods without first cleansing oneself were considered sacrilege and could have legal consequences. " "Consequences Divine anger and misfortune: Offenses could invoke the ira deorum (anger of the gods), which was believed to bring harm to the state and its citizens. "
  19. That's not what Jesus taught.
  20. Confucianism: “Do not do to others what you do not want them to do to you” (Confucius, Analects 15.23 – 5th century BC). I'm not including structural religion with Jesus's teachings.
  21. Have you read about Thanksgiving? China had teachers like Jesus. You just commented on brutality. Looking at the trajectory Rome was on, you don't think Jesus's teachings may have altered ways of thinking?
