@StopNoticingIt @Oilfield_Rando Same

@Oilfield_Rando That is one of the benefits of making no money on X. I post what I want, when I want. No schedule or quota. No need to appeal to the algorithm. The flip side though is, of course, that nobody sees the vast majority of what I post.

You post what YOU want, bud. Not what X wants. Sometimes that’ll be what makes money, sometimes it won’t. Right now the money bugs are paying video, man on the street stuff. I don’t do that. So I’ll earn less. Which is fine, because anonymity and my day job mean more to me.

But these people only know to play the algo… the idea of posting what you want is foreign. My art has no followings on here, yet in person I do quite well. Cuz I post what I want, when I want. I’m not trying to learn and alter with an ever changing algo. If my stuff gets look bslls, great. If not, I’ll keep using the acct to argue with commies when in the bathroom.

No. He answered your question. And you proved the point. Why interact with you? Even when the questions are answered, you’ll not be happy and continue to argue. Libs are never allowed to be happy. And fwiw, I remember Rando getting banned. I remember finding him again… musta been 6 years ago. It must really suck to be perpetually miserable, as a requirement to leftism. I do not envy you sir (or other… won’t assume your gender choices)

@GenericProfile4 @independent5671 So you're complaining about the majority of the white demographics, but making me the scapegoat?

I got banned because Brian Stelter got mad at me.

So if you aren’t programmed, why align with leftist tactics and talking points? That is anomalous… I’ve never seen that, because it is a contradiction. I hate to break it to you, but you are participating in politics. By continuing this leftist viewpoint of “the opposition is racist”, you are aligning yourself with the left, and engaging in political debate. When the left claims the opposition is racist and hate filled, but don’t offer anything to prove it, it does psychological damage to those who align with it. The left hates everyone from the center to the right more now than any other time since the 60s… when they cheer on the deaths of those who disagree, this is directly related to the psychological nudging of propaganda. You may want to concern yourself more with that… while the elite are bad (generally speaking), they have whipped the left into such a frenzy that if given the chance and the power, they will go after EVERYONE who disagrees with them. This has happened in every communist takeover in history. It is their playbook. And you say you are not aligned with them… well that means they would go after you too. That beast system you speak of is trying to whip them into such a state that they begin to act on their hatred. I don’t think this can be stopped… hatred is something ppl don’t want to give up. I’d love to see the machine halted, but they have insulated themselves with a layer of civil unrest. They have successfully broke this country in two, which is sad. There may not be a way to put it back together, and we will have to deal with what ensues.

I'm just going to let you know right now. All of those labels left leaning liberal all these different Democrat Republicans. These are all labels the beast system created to keep you guys separated from each other. I don't have left leaning views. I don't participate in any type of politics. So to try to put labels on things just still shows that the political system programmed you to think. Being politically programmed is the worst thing you could be in the times we are in. The political system is the beast system causing people to fall. So if you think I have left leaning liberal ideas. Then that is what you think that is what your program tells you. You're not going to understand my point as long as you have political programming in your mind. And if I were you I would seek Christ and ask to be renewed of the mind. Because that fleshly beastly system will lead you no where good

It took centuries of toil and sacrifice to reach the apex of human civilization that is America. The crux of the Democrat agenda is to resettle the masses of the world on our shores and redistribute the wealth and resources our civilization has produced until nothing is left.

It’s cute that you think I am new or naive to what the elite are capable of and engaged in. I’ve been in these trenches for decades. What I am tired of is the liberals who jump on the bandwagon of “the elite are evil!” When the right is in charge, and dismiss it when the left are. You say that isn’t you… great. But the language you use pairs you with the left, even if it’s unintentional. You claim miller HATES brown ppl and immigrants… please source that for me. I’d love to know where you heard him say that, though likely you heard cnn say it, and you ran with it. This pairs you with the left; I’m sorry it just does. It’s the “republicans are bad” meme. I’m not even trying to defend him, I’m just calling out language used by leftists. Specifically things that cannot be sourced. You can say “it is my opinion that he hates immigrants”, but you cannot just say “oh, he does” without backing it up. With your posturing of “I’m on neither side”, I hope that you also equally call out the evils of the democrats. The elite (and the democrats, and most of the republicans) are communists, and they would love to add 100s of millions more to communism’s death toll. Especially with AI, they don’t think they’ll need us much longer… this is why they warned us during Covid that we will “own nothing and be happy”. STRAIGHT out of Brave New World by Huxley and 1984 by Orwell. They warned us what they were gonna do; long before either of us were born. I imagine I am quite a bit older that you, and for too many years I’ve watched the left (and those adjacent) pretend the gov is bad when they aren’t in control, then flip flop their opinions when they are in control. It is vapid. You say that you are not partisan, but you use the language of the left… this doesn’t check out. It doesn’t check out cuz those who TRULY understand what the machine is know better than to buy into the propaganda. Doesn’t mean you have to like trump, miller, or anyone else… you can be more on the left, and oppose the machine. It is just remarkably rare. Trump broke those ppl who could have called out their own side, and now they all huddle under the democrat umbrella, and ignore the elitism of the left. I watched it happen… the left almost had their own populist movement… but then came the hatred. And hatred blinds.

I never said America was horrible. If you think I am saying anything about the people of America then you're not understanding me. I don't assume hatred for other races. Steven Miller is known for hating brown people. And immigrating problem people because he hates them. That is not an assumption. That has been expressed. Okay The government is the beast system that God warned us about from Revelation. All is unfolding as God intended it to. You say America is Pinnacle. We're not talking about Pinnacle. We're talking about Apex. He's calling America a predator. I don't think you're getting it. Do you understand how many of our elite are predators to children in this world. Our entire elite system is known for trafficking children. Okay so he's saying that America is the apex which is a predator. You are saying pinnacle. Yes Pinnacle America is pinnacle. You're right. So you're not understanding the context of what he said compared to what I said. So please reread my comment again because I don't think you understood me the first time.

@Roger_B1966 @JohnBurhan28432 @Knesix Yeah, they said we’d be out of oil in 20 years 50 years ago. Abiotic oil theory. Compelling…. Cuz if the hydrocarbons came from dinosaurs, how do they exist on other places in the universe??

@JohnBurhan28432 @Knesix A limited commodity. In 50 years that oil that we are selling dirt cheap now will be priceless. But hey if you don't give a damn about the future, or future generations then you will be fine with Trump and his looting.

I honestly thought this map was made up Hundreds of supertankers, the kind that carry two million barrels each, are currently racing toward the US Gulf Coast from every direction. Atlantic, Indian Ocean, around Africa, the scenic route, the "we were heading to Saudi Arabia but NVM" route. Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz and everyone panicked. Oil hit $126 a barrel. Gas hit $4 a gallon. Cable news did the thing where they put a red banner on screen and say "CRISIS" in a font that suggests you should be hoarding toilet paper. And then something happened that nobody in media seems interested in reporting, for obvious reasons. The world just... switched suppliers? Like changing your internet provider except the internet provider is the entire effing global energy economy. American oil exports are approaching record levels. Gulf Coast refineries are running at 95% capacity. Supertankers that were mid-ocean on their way to the Persian Gulf literally turned around and headed to Texas. That's not a metaphor. Ship tracking data shows them doing U-turns in the Indian Ocean. Meanwhile China, which was getting 45% of its oil imports through Hormuz and paying basement prices for sanctioned Iranian crude, is now competing with Japan and Europe for the same expensive American barrels. Chinese manufacturers are already raising prices 20% on goods headed to the US. So to summarize: Iran played its biggest card and the main result is that the United States became the world's emergency gas station and China's cheap energy subsidy evaporated. This is either the most elaborate coincidence in the history of geopolitics... or someone planned the sequence Venezuela -> Iran -> profits! I'll let you figure out which one

But nothing you say refutes the theory… there is a china factor in this war no one is talking about. But I have a theory; ya’ll hate trump so much, you’d happily ally with china to stick it to trump. You want him to do bad cuz you hate him so much… even if it hurts you or the country. The hatred runs so deep that you’d burn down the entire nation- even the entire world -if it meant sticking it to the “barbarian baboon”. A barbarian baboon sounds pretty bad ass, actually… When Biden was in, I wanted him to succeed cuz I want the country to do well. I knew it wouldn’t… but I wasn’t clamoring for him to fail. You… you will set the bed sheets on fire while you are still laying in the bed. Astonishing. Truly astonishing the damage hatred does to the one filled with it.

"So to summarize: Iran played its biggest card and the main result is that the United States became the world's emergency gas station and China's cheap energy subsidy evaporated." Astonishingly simpleton view. Trump spent billions to lose a war that doesn't benefit Americans. He turned it into a full-blown grift, enriching an inner circle that knew exactly when his next circus-bark would shake the markets so they could cash in. He swindled those markets, betrayed the Gulf countries, and dragged the global economy into turmoil, all while posturing as if any of this resembled strategy. That’s the only thing the barbarian baboon is good for.

@Knesix I’ve been saying there is a china factor here…. Ppl seem to forget there is classified info that the rest of us aren’t privy to… as if the media has all the info as to why. Maybe what trump has done here just bought Taiwan another decade of freedom. Who knows…

No. The leftist believes when a republican is in charge, he is a tyrannical dictator making all decisions… then when the left is charge; NOW we are back to being surrounded by deep thinkers and bright minds. It’s the “trumps fault gas prices are high!” Vs “it’s not bidens fault gas prices are high, presidents don’t make all the decisions” And they do this with a straight face, amazingly. We can’t ever let them be in power again.

@beerswithboggs @Knesix Do you understand how leadership works? It doesn’t seem that you do. Surely you understand he has some of the brightest strategic minds working for him. He is the savage that has the balls to execute. Now move along

@seamieburns1 @CheallaighNiamh @KyleGUFC @TheNotoriousMMA *sarcasm. Usually, the left doesn’t disagree when I say things like that… which is quite telling. Give them the most extreme position; they may not heart react it, but they also won’t speak out against it.

@FunkIndustrial @CheallaighNiamh @KyleGUFC @TheNotoriousMMA

The Black Forge Inn will be supplying food and support to the protestors in Dublin City Centre. The heroic stand of the Irish people has just begun! 🇮🇪 🙏 #OnlyWarmingUp

@KyleGUFC @CheallaighNiamh @TheNotoriousMMA The left have become far. Unfortunately, lots of regular “democrats” haven’t realized this. My post was sarcastic too… they don’t usually disagree when I say the right should be stamped out or outlawed… kinda proving my point.

@FunkIndustrial @CheallaighNiamh @TheNotoriousMMA You’ve compared the left to the far right. At least claim the far left to the far right

Sure… but the left are not interested in preserving anything either. If they had their way, they would wipe us off the planet. And the heavy metal toxins rising in our soil, water, bloodstreams, etc, we’re on the rise long before trump… The epa and much of those regulations are for the global push to subjugate us for the elite. This can be proven by the abrupt walking back from climate change in the elite… once they realized the energy needs of AI.

@FunkIndustrial @truthseeker7421 @Gingercappe @Oilfield_Rando I also want regulations to prevent the extinction of endangered species and keep our air and water clean. You know, as we used to have before Trump came in and dismantled most of the EPA regulations.

The thing that really sent the Democrats over the edge was this. They can call Trump a lot of things, but they can never call him a coward. Because he passed that test. 9,999/10,000 politicians would fail that test, but Donald J. Trump passed it. And it made them insane.

@Mauigirl52 @truthseeker7421 @Gingercappe @Oilfield_Rando 100% agree 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 CORPORATISM.

@FunkIndustrial @truthseeker7421 @Gingercappe @Oilfield_Rando Oh, don't worry, I don't support communism either. And you're right, the markets aren't free, they are manipulated by the richest of the rich. So maybe corporatism is a better word for what I am complaining about, you're right.

My wife has this boomer hatred… but the problem with that is you have to assume they were aware they were fucking things up. That isn’t how it works… take raising children. My parents fuct me up in certain ways, and I fuct up my kids in certain ways… none of which was deliberate. We are just doing our best at the time… and none of us can see the future. Do I think the boomers hold some ridiculous opinions? Oh yeah. But I don’t believe they were complicit in fucking us over… you have the gov (national and global) to thank for that.

@FunkIndustrial @twicrates I kinda agree, but don’t think it’s a “living their life” situation, more of a “hey don’t shit in the bed that you are giving me and tell me to suck it up” lmao they held voting power their whole lives & skullfucked the world

america was about to go on the most brain melting run of all time and then baby boomers took three puffs of ditch weed and decided enriching the third world would be more chill

Then explain it better… you assume hatred for other races. You say America is horrible, yet you want to remain here. The government is a wretched machine, yes… (both sides) but you CANNOT associate what America is with the gov. They are separate. So yes, America is the pinnacle of civilization so far as to the scientific accomplishments and such. Do not conflate that with the gov. This is a mistake that 98% of ppl make.

@FunkIndustrial @Lobstirr @StephenM I don't think you even understand my point to begin with and are turning the point into something else.

No I don’t know your political affiliation… but I would say you lean left or center/left. Those who trust the “data” are typically left leaning, and this is because the “data” and “experts” are wildly left. It is very skewed, especially since trump and the Covid era. I am not a republican… but I am definitely far from the left. I hold some views that would be considered liberal… but above all else I am an anti communist. Most republican politicians are worse than democrats cuz they tell their base what they want to hear, then go along with the left so they can continue to enrich themselves and get invited to the dc social events. They are “looting the treasury” as they did in Rome, and could care less about what their base wants.

Do you think I am a Democrat? If you thinks so, then you have become Political programmed and that is not a good thing to be. So to think I was singing and dancing to anything shows you assume things about people you don't know. . The political system is the beast system that keeps everyone in a state of fighting and separation so we all fall. So what is asinine is assuming you know someone you don't. And we can rise above it all if we simply stop giving out power to this beast system that is trying to divide this country. A house divided falls.

You miss my point; the left, en masse, believe they are better ppl than the right. The right are lesser class citizens to them. They hold wrong ideas, their “data” is wrong or invalid… and because they are lesser class citizens, they are not afforded regular humanity. Is it real from my perspective? Yes; I experience it directly on here all the time. It’s not contrived. And I don’t even fault them… this has been done over a decade plus of psychological nudging from the media and leaders. If you slowly start to tell your listeners/followers that another group is less than human, it begins to take root. So when you see someone calling the right “magats”, this is an example of it; of dehumanization. The Nazis did this so that regular ppl would look the other way when they eradicated the “lesser” ppl of their day. Most of the left has no idea this has happened… it’s been a slow boil. But if you remember correctly, during Covid, many on the left were openly calling for children to be taken away and imprisonment for the right. For thoughtcrime. I don’t expect to win you over… but as someone who experiences this, I can tell you it’s very real. I’ve been told I am lesser for holding “incorrect” ideas. For “incorrect” speech. A large % of the left do not want to live with ppl who hold different opinions. If they could outlaw the right and turn us into a one party system, they’d jump at the chance. I point this out not to convert you… but to warn you. The right has attempted to take back the republican party from the useless politicians… but the left hasn’t done that. They were almost ready to try in 2015, but then trump won and broke them. Now, they absorb whatever the left tells them too. The right doesn’t; the right is always at war with itself… which is natural when trying to take the party back. Yet you will see there is virtually no disagreement on the left. Dangerous, that is… cuz the masses will go along with whatever. Like Germans did. This is a phenomenal interview with a kgb agent who defected. He outlines EXACTLY what is happening right now, and this was in the 80s. It’s highly worth a watch… it is not partisan. Just insider info from when the Soviet Union was working against us. I share it in hopes that I can live to see the left try and reclaim their party… so we can go back to coexisting in polite disagreement. The path we are on now is not sustainable… the left is advocating for more and more extreme “solutions” to those who dare to disagree. You may not fall into that category; you are very polite and it is a classic discussion we can have. That is INSANELY rare these days. And I appreciate it, and you. I maybe have 4 in a year at most. But don’t discount those on the left who want a solution… a “final” one to the problem of dissent. I’ve argued with those ppl. I’ve been told I shouldn’t have the freedom to have an opposing view. I do not want to see tyranny from either side… I long for a day where my liberal friends speak to me again, and I don’t see the left cheering on the deaths of their opposition, and waving communist flags at protests. The left and the right should reclaim our respective parties, cut out the corruption, and go back to a respectful 2 party system. I estimate the chances of this happening to be less than 15%. Sadly. But it is refreshing to disagree cordially… like it used to be. So thank you :) I urge you to watch the interview. There are those on the left who pretend to be democrats, but are actually much more sinister and will use the average democrat to take power. And history shows after gaining power, they immediately turn in those who helped to get them there. m.youtube.com/watch?v=yErKTV…

I think what you’re describing feels real from your perspective, but the way you’re framing it turns complex issues into a hierarchy of people instead of a discussion about evidence and outcomes. Disagreement about COVID, elections, or policy isn’t about one group seeing themselves as “superior” and another as “inferior.” It’s about how different people interpret data, institutions, and risk. For example, with COVID, the reason people emphasized certain precautions or treatments wasn’t about control or superiority. It was because the data consistently showed that the virus itself posed higher risks, especially for people with underlying conditions. That’s why medical guidance focused on reducing spread and managing severe symptoms as we learned more. That doesn’t mean every decision was perfect or beyond criticism. It means those decisions were being made inside a system that adjusts based on evidence, not because one group sees another as less than human. I’m always open to a good faith discussion about specific claims, but framing entire groups as “superior” or “inferior” shuts that down before it even starts.

@stats_feed That’s roughly an hour a day…

A new baby usually deprives each of it’s parents around 350-400 hours of sleep in the first year.

@CheallaighNiamh @KyleGUFC @TheNotoriousMMA The far right shouldn’t be allowed to protest. They try to take over everything. Protesting is reserved for the left. They claim an Irish identity? Well that should be taken from them. The only way to save democrazy is to get rid of the right. Prevent them from being heard.

@KyleGUFC @TheNotoriousMMA It wasn't, but they were always going try and take over. Pushing their hate is all they're concerned about.

Hilarious… you used all that space to say “it’s ok when we do it”. “It’s different when we do it” I get that you can’t see it… but this is due to a superiority complex. The left believes themselves to be superior; they believe the right to be inferior… second class human being. They have psychologically nudged ppl for over a decade now, and it’s really entrenched. When one believes they are superior, then they are permitted to say certain things… whereas the lower class is not afforded that right. You really saw this with both Covid and the trump era. When asked “what side are you on” and one answers “the correct one”, there is no thinking involved… the correct one. The better one. The superior one. You don’t see it from inside the nudge, plus ideology gets in the way. But it’s real… I experience it daily on here. This is why the left reverts to insults immediately upon disagreement. “You must be if you disagree” assumes there is only one possible opinion. The left sees nothing wrong with this cuz it is their opinion considered correct at the moment… but the same thing happens when someone on the left steps out of line. Superiority… You may not feel this way… but the structure of modern day leftism is as such. You have to break away and step back to see it. The 30,000 ft view.

This isn’t about “both sides say strong things.” It’s about what kind of rhetoric leaders use and what it’s tied to. If you think it’s equivalent, then show it at the same level: – Leaders broadly labeling their own citizens as “enemies,” “traitors,” or something that needs to be rooted out – Leaders using dehumanizing language about entire groups – Leaders framing opposition itself as illegitimate or dangerous That’s the standard. And before you bring up Biden saying “MAGA extremists,” that’s actually a good example of the difference. That language was tied to specific behaviors like rejecting election results or excusing political violence. You can disagree with it, but it’s still behavior-based. That’s not the same as labeling groups of people themselves as threats. There’s a difference between: – “these actions are dangerous” and – “these people are the problem” That distinction matters. Because when leaders cross that line, it doesn’t just stay rhetorical. It creates permission structures. You’ve already seen that play out with people like Mark Kelly and even figures within the same movement, like Marjorie Taylor Greene, who have faced threats after being singled out. And that’s another pattern: authoritarian rhetoric doesn’t just target outsiders, it eventually turns inward. Anyone who doesn’t show loyalty can be labeled a traitor, like @mtgreenee That’s what you’re seeing when entire groups get lumped together and framed as enemies, whether it’s immigrants, LGBTQ people, Muslims, political opponents, or even people within the same movement who step out of line. That’s not normal political criticism. That’s a pattern. So if you’re going to argue “both sides,” it has to meet that same threshold, not just point to any strong language and call it equal. Otherwise you’re not comparing like for like.
