  1. Yeah, sports are exclusionary, not everyone is allowed to play automatically in whatever they want, you gotta have some physical conditions. Biological sex should be another threshold, especially trans women can have some biological traits that can give advantages to them, generaly speaking.
  2. To the topic title and question. I don't think so, look at who conservatives elect, they look like spoiled teenagers who can't take a no for an answer. Marjory Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Kari Lake, George Anthony Devolder Santos, Matt Gaetz, they almost elected this funny Herschel Walker, and what to say about Donald Trump. They are a reflection of their voters, the conservative people today. The Democrats are being the adults in the room right now. About green stage people. Yeah, they should be more aware that people being intolerant is a lower stage and maybe handle it some other way, but then they'd be getting into yellow. That being said, sometimes I find it fine intolerants taste their own medicine, otherwise, they don't learn. They need first-hand experience of hardship.
  3. Look at this, is it Bernie Sanders? No. It's Joe Biden, the president, literally saying he supports the workers against corporate greed. I wouldn't have said it, it's awesome. Tell me now Trump is the one with average people and the working class. Yeah, no. Hasan Piker's cover of this rare happening:
  4. The main courses are: Lobster anatomy Real pronouns Bedroom cleaning Get your degree!
  5. It's not a metaphor, it's a mistake. I think he is sorry he did it too, and not only because he got caught. I'm not in his head, but neither you are. I respect that you don't vote for him if you cannot forgive his bad actions. Look, he is the governor, he is an influential man and successful before getting into politics too, if I have heard well. Eating in good restaurants in his position is normal, and even recommendable for many reasons. Yes, the state is in bad condition, a lot has to be made. It's a rich state, and with a lot of in-country migration because people think there are more and better job opportunities there, which is true, but handling that is a big challenge. Many more social programs are needed to fix the homelessness and criminality problems and more regulations for the high house price ones, but US citizens have been brainwashed to think the opposite with boogieman words like socialism, so it's a hard job. He seems to be implementing programs in the right direction, and certainly better than what Republicans propose about those.
  6. Badly done, as a governor, he was the first one who had to follow the health protocol and guidelines. It was recommended not to gather people from more than three households, and they broke that. Leading by example is important. He admits the mistake, I can move on. I still love him, he is great. By the way, I'm fine with him going to good and or expensive restaurants. That's okay.
  7. If it's a conspiracy against him for his views, why isn't for example Joe Rogan getting the same treatment? I'm sure he has been with multiple women too. If it was that easy to get false allegations for Brand, why wouldn't it be for Rogan too, and shut another truth-teller about vaccines and stuff? I'm sorry, but the investigation seems consistent. The guy was a monster. He may have embraced a spiritual route last years, I'm sure he has improved, but the girls he hurt are allowed to come back from his past and not be fine. YouTube did well according to their guidelines because it's not only about content. If a creator damages their corporate image with their life apart from the videos, they can and should take measures. To put an extreme example, if a serial killer of children would upload party song videos, wouldn't YouTube be allowed to demonetize or cut his content just because his videos are okay? Hell no, fuck him, banned, and so his content and videos. Elon Musk would be glad to show them in X anyway.
  8. He speaks well and wisely, I love him. I would suck his balls. I prefer him to Biden for many reasons, age one of them. But I respect his loyalty too. A great Democrat presidential candidate for the future, if he decides so.
  9. Yeah, maybe Kennedy would win too. Despite his position on some issues, he stands as the reasonable man near Trump. Williamson would reactivate the culture wars where Trump thrived in 2016, we don't want that.
  10. Stinks badly for him. One of the girls kept calls and text messages and was treated in a specialized center the same day she claims she was raped. That means doctors who saw her that day can testify about her condition at least. There's another relationship where he was 30 and the girl was 16 and in fucking high school. Legally just reached the age of consent but it's a very bad look per se and more so in the current social and political environment where there's so much talk about grooming. This girl also alleges very inappropriate behavior of Brand towards her. Where are the right-winger defendants of minors now? In a cave with their mouth shut like bitches, there is where they are.
  11. Biden is old, but he is not senile or anything like that for now. Could he deteriorate during the next five years? Yes. Also Trump, he is just three years younger. The important thing is that Biden can defeat Trump next year, 2024. Williamson is not an appropriate contendant against Trump. Neither is anybody else right now.
  12. Western society is suffering some backlash and certainly a deceleration of development due to rightwingers, but they will probably get over that in a fair time, these fluctuations are normal throughout history. But there are considerable risks as we are seeing with Trump, attempting to hold power even after losing elections, and a lot of people and the Republican Party still supporting him after that. Other Western countries in Europe have also similar problems.
  13. Quite serious allegations, four main ones: Source: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-66838794 On the other theme, quite a risky pick-up line that could go wrong and did.
  14. Nietzsche had medical and mental problems, that episode with his horse doesn't disprove the validity of empathy. Please, be reasonable, you know I mean to put in the place of others but in a reasonable manner. Capitalism didn't put men on the Moon, it was socialism. The state through taxpayer money and good management, it wasn't a private endeavor. That notion that capitalism is the only thing that brings progress is very flawed and doesn't stick to history at all. Pure capitalism has never existed, it would fail. For individual greatness to thrive, it's much better a good public social safe base in fact. I prefer this video:
  15. Stage green can detect the flaws of capitalism and also propose good improvements and alternatives. What they sometimes fail to see is that those changes can take time and also fail in strategy. Also, there's a powerful economic and media apparatus working against them. Empathy is fine, you put yourself in the place of others. This provides a lot of good answers.
  16. Hasan is mostly green, his political views clearly show that. Beyond orange individualism, he has also a sense of community and general well-being that can be highly improved by different policies. Leftist ones, yes. Green can and should integrate healthy orange, as is the step above, but it does denounce unequivocally the unhealthy one, the one that puts profits above any other considerations and causes so much harm. So much harm for a lot in exchange for the unnecessary luxury of just a few. That's not fine. Hasan is successful in his career and he is making money, but sticks to some ethics. For example, he has an expensive house, but uses it for living, I'm fine with that. With his income and wealth, he could easily get into the unhealthy real estate business and rent homes to people with less money than him to profit from their work with zero effort. He doesn't say that the solution for homelessness is to bring a homeless person to your home, the ones that say that, I don't know what they are waiting for to do so, please do, we'll all applaud the kindness. He says it's something that can be addressed by public policies like social housing and others, which I agree.
  17. I've heard they could prevent him from running for the crime of sedition, according to the Constitution. He clearly attempted to steal the election, the perfect phone call has been out for months. He asked an official to find him 11.780 votes, the number he needed to surpass Biden in Georgia. Votes are not sought and found, they are cast and counted. Guilty. However, I want him to run, I hope they don't prevent it.
  18. He tweets like a lunatic. He could use a course, not to change his views, but to share them like a normal person.
  19. The turning point could have been January 6th, but nope. Look at Liz Chenney, she denounced that a coup on democracy is off limits, and she has been kicked out. Very few conservative voices, including their media and online rightsphere, go openly against Trump. I can think of two, Chenney and Schwarzenegger. Three, I checked Clint Eastwood, he left him too. By the way, this man debunks the moans of crybaby right-wingers who say Hollywood censors their side. He has his worldview, he transfers it into his movies, he is a great director, and is respected and awarded in the industry all the fucking time. Conservative YouTubers like Peterson, Shapiro, Rogan, Tim Pool, Steven Crowder, Blaire White... None of them clearly denounce what Trump did, which was an attempt to steal an election to the rightful winner, Joe Biden, a coup. Drag shows, litter boxes, and pronouns my balls.
  20. Was he a celebrity in Las Vegas? That's cool. Poor bird, killed by a psychopath.
  21. Let them be. Part of getting to higher stages is to understand and tolerate the previous stages.
  22. Putin is playing his game of thrones. I thought he and Prigozhin were on good terms now, but nope, seems Putin was waiting for an opportunity to kill the man that defied him for a day. Now he'll take charge of the Wagner army too. Did he really need to do that? They were already under him. Anyway, it's done.
  23. Our planet has been quite awesome for us since the Ice Age. Scientists say that climate has been naturally warming at a very slow pace since then, but the consensus is clear about humans having accelerated this since the industrial revolution. The course is not good, the warming may seem slow yet, but like an exponential progression, the curve could go crazy at any point. One important factor could be all the ice of the planet melting into the ocean, which seems unavoidable at this point. Some theories say that this ice serves as a natural cooler, and if we lose it, the temperatures will really grow then. The level of the sea will grow as well. There may even be a point of no return when the planet and its climate stop being as we know it and change, and it won't be for the better for us. Abrupt climate changes have happened throughout the natural history of Earth, and we could be writing the next one. We cannot know for sure what will happen, science acknowledges some level of unpredictability too. Let's hope it's not too bad, maybe we are lucky, it's a possibility too. Will we fix it? I don't think so. It's not only about fossil fuels, there's also animal agriculture. I'm only talking about the environmental impact of this, not other considerations. I don't see any way for people and politicians to address the importance of this. We are quite spoiled and we won't take a no, no matter what happens. We want our meat and we want it now.
  24. Freedom of speech is one of the pillars of democracies, in contrast with fascist and authoritarian regimes that don't allow it. Governments shouldn't control media, that's what's understood with freedom of speech as a concept. Now, what also can happen and is happening is that powerful entities like corporations and banks get full control of the media and the mainstream narrative, which is not okay either. On the other hand, all speech cant be allowed. The easiest example to understand this could be pedophilia. It's also speech, but it can't be allowed, nor its promotion. Another can be incitement of violence or terrorist attacks, quite easy to understand that this should be illegal. You cannot ask for someone to be attacked or killed. Difamating someone with lies is speech too. Should it be allowed? No. It should be illegal. I could go on. Hate speech should be kept in line too, especially against minorities and vulnerable groups. That could be sexism, racism, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, aporophobia, ableism, and even fatphobia to some degree, attacking people verbally or physically for who they are, what they believe, or even their circumstances. Slurs can enter that category. I hate feeding the beast of hate with examples, but one could be comparing a race with animals. Homophobia is easy to spot, nobody is insulted for being heterosexual, but yes for being homosexual, even killed, that's a reality. Same with cis and trans. Also for discriminatory reasons, like women being historically relegated to second-degree citizens for their sex, which is still noticeable in society. You can say that hate speech should be allowed to be debated and defeated in the marketplace of ideas, but the truth is that it perpetuates, and innocent people end up being harmed or killed. Hitler used his speech, it spread, and then the holocaust happened. But it also happens on a smaller scale.
  25. Running as a third party in the current US election system is a mistake, most people recognize that, so I don't think figures like Cornell or Andrew Yang end up causing that much harm. Don't some right-wing libertarians run as a third party as well? I think it happens on both sides. A healthier democratic system should allow multiple parties to get representation, I will say. I think primaries are healthy. In the end, the candidate with the most support runs, ideas are debated, and positions change. At least in the Democratic party. The Republican primaries are a joke right now.
