Hardkill

Yeah I am gonna say from about 5,000-10,000 dollars per ticket.

Guys, I just found a few really good articles that each explained how the increasingly intense political polarization that America has been going through is similar to what happened during the Gilded Age (c. 1870-1900). In fact, politics during the late 19th century was arguably even more chaotic, violent, and corrupt than it has been during the late 1900s and 2000s. They then talked about how during the era that followed, which was the Progressive Era (c. 1896–1916), was the period in US history where the country wen through was what called the "Great Quieting." The "Great quieting" was what greatly cooled down the whole political environment through the entire nation. The key to this was by not only making politics so dry and boring but also making it harder for everyone in the US to vote. This was done by having cities banned public protesting without permits, replace on-the-ground volunteers with paid organizers, have “Educational campaigns” print sheafs of dense pamphlets about issues like tariffs or the currency, close saloons on Election Day in order to ensure sober voters, and have voters be in isolated polling booths alone and choose candidates from government-printed secret ballots that had very dense text. Also, during this era, not talking much about politics became a new social norm for anyone unless you were either a politician, some kind of government employee, a rich person with certain political connections, or a paid political activist. Unfortunately, however, minorities, younger people, less educated individuals, and poor people within the entire country were heavily disenfranchised. All of that together weeded out a tremendous amount of foolish, ignorant, and toxic voters throughout all of the US from voting in any kind of election. Furthermore, all of these changes made voting more deliberate and much less vulnerable to fraud or intimidation. This eventually lead to so much greater bipartisanship between both political parties. As a result of this unity, the government was able to make massive progressive reforms in American democracy in numerous ways from around 1905 to 1920. Consequently, the government was at last able to enact all kinds of new and improved regulations on industry, transportation, food, and drug, progressive income taxes, etc. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/04/24/forgotten-precedent-unprecedented-politics-age-of-acrimony-484072 https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/little-known-story-19th-century-americas-hyper-partisan-warfare-180977586/ https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/29/opinion/normal-politics-gilded-age.html So, How do you think that America will ever be able to through another "Great quieting"?

Perhaps things are going to get more chaotic, more violent, and more corrupt before law enforcement begins to finally crack down very hard on all of these new age problems in the country?

Yeah, well it’s looking like there’s nothing much that they can do about it in the long-run. More and more black and brown people keep moving into the South. Furthermore, they say that by 2045, whites in the USA will no longer be the majority. Also, manual farm labor is getting replaced by industrial labor.

I see. So, the South probably needs to catch up on industrialization and racial integration in order to reduce a lot of the racism down there.

Oh, so the South doesn't have as much manufacturing companies as the North does?

That's true and I always knew it. However, at the very least, the Dems are very likely able to stop the Republicans from putting in a 7th conservative Justice in SCOTUS. Plus, there's a very strong chance that we'll end up having the very first black woman US Supreme Court justice.

Good news, everyone! Just this morning, the mainstream media broke the news of Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer's retirement plan. That now means that Biden will be able to appoint a brand new liberal justice to the SCOTUS and then have the pick confirmed by Senate Majority leader Schumer, Senate Majority Whip and Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee Dick Durbin, and the rest of the Democrats in the Senate. Breyer won't formally announce the exact details on his plan for retiring until tomorrow; however, they say that Breyer will probably finish his time with SCOTUS this summer. https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/scotus-stephen-breyer-retirement/index.html

Oh, so does the South have a lot more rural areas than the North?

Right, but why didn't desegregation and full citizens rights for blacks help enough white southerners see that integrating with African Americans is not bad at all? Leo said a couple years ago that: That's exactly how I eliminated so much of the racism I had when I was a young kid. During all of my high school and college years, I was around many asian, black, and latino students. Also, my family and I also worked with a lot latinos throughout most of my childhood when we renovated houses. Furthermore, I had some black and brown teachers and instructors in a number of classes I took in high school, college, graduate school, and in the martial arts studio I used to belong to for over a decade. I wonder if there are more areas in the southern and middle regions of America that aren't as racially/ethnically diverse as there are in the Northeast and costal regions of the country.

I think maybe what the OP is trying to get it is why there is MORE racism in the South than in the North, particularly compared to the Northeast. I actually still don't fully understand it either. I mean I know that the South has always had a history of having represented racism and bigotry since the 1800s. However, I thought that with slavery having been completely abolished and outlawed throughout the whole country since 1865, Jim Crow laws having been completely eliminated throughout the whole country since the late 1960s, and Obama having become America's very first black president ever from 2009-2017, that the South would no longer be as racist as it always has been.

Ah, so stage Blue work ethic and discipline is needed to balance out the excess rationality, pragmatism, self-seeking aggrandizement, and pleasure-seeking from the stage Orange work values. So, then how do you think the work values of stage Red compare to that of stage Orange?

Oh yeah, makes sense. So, then why do you think Leo said that without stage Blue work ethic or discipline you'll never succeed at anything? What would happen if you had the work ethic and discipline of stage Orange, without the work ethic or discipline of stage Blue?

@Carl-Richard Does stage Orange have the same kind of work ethic and discipline as stage Blue?

How is that not a fact? (sighs) Read this article: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/24/covid-pandemic-at-a-critical-juncture-whos-tedros-says.html

Yeah, hopefully the Republicans will only be able to just delay the process for just a little while.

That still doesn’t change the fact that the more this virus spreads the more worrisome variants we will likely have in the future.

I get that generally speaking no one person or no one thing belongs to only one specific stage or color within the spiral dynamics model; however, usually individuals and organizations each have one specific SD stage or color where they are primarily at within their stage of development. The military is considered mostly Blue, while a combat warrior is stage Red at its core. So does that mean that some soldiers are at primarily stage Blue whereas other soldiers are at primarily stage red depending on what kind of specific military training and experience they have had?

Ok fine, I’ll try not to start off that way even in a nightclub (unless some random chick I just met right away starts getting freaky with me). Btw, I never slut shame girls because I don’t ever judge any girl’s sexuality or sexual past.

I am not saying that I am right. I was just asking you if think that that could work. I remember you saying that you can get away with a lot more mistakes during night game than during day game.

Girls go to nightclubs often to try to get laid and they get horny from the loud music and drinking in the club, right? So, does that mean that I would be able to easily get just about any girl there to make out and have sex with me if I just walked up to one and started off right away being explicitly sexual?

Aren’t college campuses actually supposed to be the best places to meet girls and get laid?

I am very concerned that this may lead to much more unnecessary spreading of the virus throughout entire UK. I am worried that more variants may arise because of this decision.

Ah, I see. So, you can get laid with a 9 or 10 model babe with cold approach alone. It's just that you can't count on pulling the hottest girls CONSISTENTLY without elite level social circles.

I agree with that, but why did you say in your first "how to get laid" vid, that in order to attract the hottest girls you realistically have to offer something more than just a sexually charismatic vibe?
