Millennial political manifestos are just like “Hey! So uh, I did a thing.”

@normal_jake_ The John Henry hate is trans continental

I always defer to the real baseball heads when it comes to the strategy side but you really don’t to be a baseball expert to see how the Red Sox are a circus act Everything just gets insanely messy with them.

@ChivalrousCHAD @Arlieredeyejedi @Duley90 @ConceptualJames I think you should explain it to me.

I find this mind-boggling, to be honest, and I'm not arguing that Christians should be pacifists or whatever. The example Wilson gives here about selling your cloak to buy a sword comes from the Gospel of Luke. I'm an agnostic and even know this story. He exegetes it wrong. In fact, he exegetes it completely wrong. The point of the story in Luke is that Jesus knows he's about to be taken by the Romans, so he instructs his disciples to get armed, even telling them to sell their cloaks to buy a sword if they must. The point is not to fight, though, as Wilson uses it to mean. The point is completely otherwise. Jesus actually makes this clear IN THE NEXT SENTENCE, BEFORE HE'S EVEN DONE SPEAKING to his disciples. He is doing it so that when he is taken he will fulfill the prophecy in Isaiah about the Messiah being "numbered among the transgressors." The context is that Romans would see an armed band as transgressors and thus take Jesus into custody upon those terms. When Jesus' disciples say they already have two swords, Jesus replies "it is enough." Enough for what? Fighting off Romans who are there to keep the law? No way. For looking like an armed band of transgressors, which would fulfill the prophecy in Isaiah? Yes. But it's not just speculation. The swords are explicitly NOT for fighting back. When Peter draws his sword in the forthcoming scene and slices the ear off a Roman in Gethsemane (where I have stood), Jesus rebukes him for it, saying whoever takes up the sword will die by it. That's one of the MOST FAMOUS STORIES IN THE WHOLE GOSPEL. His disciples weren't armed to fight back. Fighting back wasn't part of the equation. It's bewildering to me that Wilson would use this particular example to make his point. It reminds me of the time I mixed up the point of the story about the wheat and the tares because I wasn't actually all that familiar with the story but knew of it vaguely. Romans 13 (Paul, not Jesus) makes a better case for the authorities being invested with the authority to use force to maintain safety and order. Even the apt example of Jesus chasing moneychangers out of the Temple with a whip makes the case, but this other thing is simply mind-boggling to see. Even I know better.

@Artemis_at_dark @Arlieredeyejedi @Duley90 @ConceptualJames Do you understand the difference between a descriptive statement and a prescriptive one?

@ChivalrousCHAD @Arlieredeyejedi @Duley90 @ConceptualJames On its own, “might makes” isn’t a recognised or coherent position.

@Artemis_at_dark @Arlieredeyejedi @Duley90 @ConceptualJames Yeah so “Might makes.” Not “Might makes right”

@Arlieredeyejedi @Duley90 @ConceptualJames No he views reality as a struggle of power. The strongest win.

@diceytroop @Barney55575756 @KareemRifai I enjoy him sometimes, but there’s a reason he doesn’t debate anyone anymore.

@Barney55575756 @KareemRifai Lmao no he's smart because he disagrees with me. Holy fuck I swear to god Hasan's ops are the dumbest people on the planet earth

I think this discourse would be a lot simpler if people just realized and accepted that he's simply not very bright.

@warnerelliott60 @_LiveLoveSimply @CurtisDaly_ Guarantee your rent was a smaller % of your monthly income than the average young person’s today

@_LiveLoveSimply @CurtisDaly_ We were making peanuts 30 years ago; it's all relative. It certainly wasn't their middle-class starter home. I bought a 3-bedroom starter home for 15k in 1979, but I was only making $3 an hour.

We were raised to be adults in a world that no longer exists

@GNOMERTRUTHER @uncle_authority Those have microchips

@uncle_authority Crest white strips are 40 dollars bro

anyone this tied into the security state knows better than to sit their аss in a dentist chair iykyk

@highlandgirl24 Agreed

@highlandgirl24 Yeah I think the average age gap is what, 3 years? Most guys cope and think they’ll be multi millionaires by 35 pulling whoever they want. Coping

@highlandgirl24 I think it’s true that men and women peak in “value” (for lack of a better term) at different ages. I know a lot of girls who are dating guys 5+ years older than them

I think John Henry should be arrested

@Starkian7789 So true

Latinos are chill and not particularly power hungry but they tend to vote for the most charismatic politicians which enables corruption. Ironically this also applies to Trump winning over more Latinos.

@growing_daniel Really dumb of him to show his cards this early

Ooookay. Now I see what this is all about

@RadicalCap88602 @MattWalshBlog @NickJFuentes @BasedTorba Jews are not gods ruling the world, get over it.

If we’re going to have a conservative civil war, the dividing line should be those who believe in protecting and preserving marriage, the family, and unborn life vs those indifferent or opposed. You can’t be a conservative in any meaningful sense if you don’t want to conserve the bedrock of civilization itself.

@Isitreallymeno @sultan_exists Aren’t you kinda proving his point about maximizing your looks?

@sultan_exists Imagine doing all that bullshit just to get mogged by this chad

nephew 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

@mywayneheavy @aoX_Cloud @aaboblin @TheOmniLiberal Have you ever heard of the cum warriors of Papua New Guinea?

One of the most pathetic things that I see all of these fake centrist, right-wing podcasters do is just present the most ludicrous strawmans of a person to beat up on their shows like they're actually proving some profound point.

@KENJEEZY85 @samtripoli The true matriarchy could only ever exist as a theoretical construct.

@samtripoli That's actually pretty simple. They are not the biggest enforcers of patriarchy. Otherwise, they would fulfill the traditional female gender role. The answer and reality are that they are the biggest enforcers of the matriarchy. They are winning.

Hahahaha

@ThePosieParker @GrumpyPants2U @KonstantinKisin What circumstance is that though? The more wealthy a nation gets, the less women choose to have children.

@GrumpyPants2U @KonstantinKisin I don’t think anyone is suggesting that. However I do think most women would have children in the right circumstances.

Chefs kiss to @KonstantinKisin for retaining his cool and staying focused.

@highlandgirl24 There’s a decent chance he’s going to be cast as the next James Bond
