@romanhelmetguy It's not a wild opinion to say that locals should not have to compete with global populations for jobs in their own neighborhoods.

You can bitch and moan about high-skilled immigration all you want, but at the end of the day we have to give all the good jobs to foreigners. Otherwise we might someday get conquered by a foreign country, and then they’d give all the good jobs to foreigners.

@romanhelmetguy @dwarkesh_sp @MorlockP Saw a video of an archeologist desperately trying to explain why Neanderthal/homo sapian sapian hybrids were overwhelmingly male Neanderthal and female homo sapian. The level of mental gymnastics was wild.

@dwarkesh_sp @MorlockP This “consensus” thinking was completely artificial from the start. Ancient sources made it very clear what happened. But modern historians didn’t like it because it didn’t fit their worldview. So they made up elaborate theories of peaceful assimilation. DNA proved them liars.

David Reich on how much ancient DNA evidence has overturned so much consensus thinking how ancient cultures spread. "It wasn't peaceful, it wasn't friendly, it wasn't nice. Some of our archaeologist co-authors were just really distressed."

@BirdieCarolina @Fat_Electrician Yes please. This. You've done a few good ones but a dedicated rant video would be great.

@Fat_Electrician I want the full on communism rant, so everytime someone wants to argue about it i can just drop the link

What do you wanna see on fat files?

@thelb236 SSPX runs 6 seminaries. How in the world would that not be devastating?

When your best argument on why the SSPX deserve the full wrath of canon law but the Germans must be treated with kid gloves is this, you've just admitted that canon law is meaningless, that punishments are completely and utterly arbitrary, and that justice no longer exists in the Catholic Church. Way to go, Mr. Popesplainer.

@TomCotterillX This was the point. Anarcho tyranny requires that good behavior be punished to keep morale down and destroy institutions of cultural stability.

🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨 SAS soldiers are resigning in significant numbers over fears they will be subjected to “witch hunts” by human-rights lawyers. Multiple sources have claimed that personnel from across 22 SAS, the Army’s most elite fighting force, have applied for premature voluntary release. The Telegraph is withholding the exact figure for security reasons. However, several SAS sources have described the recent losses as “significant” and a “threat to national security”. At least two squadrons, D and G, are believed to have been affected, with insiders saying outrage over recent war crime probes into Afghanistan and Syria, which have been branded “witch hunts”, are believed to be the main driving forces. Among those understood to have resigned include several senior warrant officers, who are the backbone of the special forces and among the most experienced troops in the regiment. A number are understood to have applied for release “on principle” just before Christmas. “Morale is s--t at the moment,” one insider with knowledge of the recent losses told me, while another said there was “considerable disquiet” in the regiment as a result. The SAS resignations are a major blow to the famed special forces unit, which is the tip of the spear in any military operation and is deployed globally. Full story: telegraph.co.uk/gift/ee5ad8ccb…

@TheModerateCase Yes. Anything they advocate for outside the very specified infallible declarations is just an opinion.

Question for Catholics: Can one be a Catholic and not like the Pope and disagree with his statements and views on religion and or politics? If so, why? If not, why? I have seen tons of Catholics taking both sides on this. I am genuinely curious.

@magataotao Yes. Not everything is an infallible declaration. His opinions are just that, opinions. Otherwise the fact that there are clear interpretive groups in the church would be impossible. Look at Cardinal Sarah, for example. That man is a firebrand of righteous indignation.

As an ordinary Catholic, am I allowed to disagree with the Pope, questioning and challenging the Pope?

@cgp42 @fandompulse I'd agree that yhere are alternate media sources for positive religious promotion. Podcasts and documentaries being the most prevalent. That said, Fox News does not promote religion. At best it stays neutral about Christianity and is openly anti Islam.

@GenghisJaviKhan @fandompulse Well, the obvious "media organization" would be Fox News. The biggest one at that. But I'm not just talking about news networks. There are tons of podcasts, movies, documentaries, community events, national events, and on & on that positively promote religion.

Ender's Game author Orson Scott Card on the problems with how religion is portrayed in current fantasy and science fiction: "In our culture, intellectuals have become so uniformly a-religious or anti-religious that our fiction, with few exceptions, depicts religious people in only two ways: the followers are ignorant and stupid and easily fooled, and the leaders are exploitative and cynical, manipulating others' faith for their private benefit. I know some people who fit those descriptions. But they are in a tiny minority. Most religious people I know are smart, well-educated, independent-minded, stubborn, honest, and generous -- at least as much so as the average intellectual, and usually more. The hostility toward religion among American intellectuals arises, I think, from a clear awareness that it was against a publicly religious culture that their own culture rebelled. Now that rebellion is completely successful in terms of capturing control of all the public instruments of transmission of culture -- the universities, the media, and the literature and art -- but it has become such a shibboleth of intellectual life to snipe at religion that, like the aging "revolutionaries" of the old Soviet Union, they mindlessly continue to "rebel" in order to defend their tight grip on the establishment. Indeed, those intellectuals are the establishment. And what was once a daring and rebellious stance is now just another example of lockstep conformists mindlessly echoing ideas that they haven't examined. That's when contemporary fiction mentions religion at all. Most of the time, in and out of speculative fiction, religion simply doesn't exist. Characters don't believe in God or even think about believing in God. Nobody talks about religion. Nobody belongs to any kind of church. Religion simply doesn't exist. ... This is, I think, a serious lapse, a dishonesty in our contemporary literature. It is most seriously dishonest because in fact, even the supposedly a-religious intellectuals behave exactly as religious people always have. That is, the behavioral and cultural patterns that we have always associated with religions are indistinguishable, except by vocabulary, from the behavioral and cultural patterns of the a-religious intellectuals. They band together with fellow believers, feel sorry for or hostile toward unbelievers, immediately punish heretics -- intellectuals who, having once been accepted in the 'faith,' dare to question its premises -- anoint their priests and theologians (psychologists and therapists being their ministers, scientists and, more usually, science popularizers being their doctors of atheology), and insist on their absolute right to put forth their religious ideas with public funding and the authority of the state behind them, while doing their utmost to silence or marginalize the beliefs of others. Most fiction has become, in short, an instrument of propaganda for the established religion of our time, which differs from other religions only in the particular content of the faith and the vocabulary used to describe it. Naturally, the true believers are sure that the real difference is that their beliefs are objectively true. But then, true believers have always believed that. This is not what distinguishes them from other established religions, but rather what makes them fundamentally identical to them. The honest depicter of human life will include the religious aspect of that life. This is not to say that stories need to be about religion, any more than stories about our contemporary culture need to be about cars. But the cars need to be present, at least by implication, and if a character doesn't know how to drive, we'd need to know why." Is this why Hollywood stopped adapting his books into films?

@cgp42 @fandompulse Where? Name one major media organization that promotes religion.

@fandompulse Ender's Game is arguably my favorite novel. Card "predicted" the internet in the late 70s. Wild! His religious fundamentalism blinds him to real-world issues. There is no longer a monopoly for pro-religion today, but there is lots of media still promoting it everywhere.

@dontforgetchaos There are British content creators that made entire careers of simply not hating US culture. That's how often Brits hate on the US. Just not hating the US can make online careers. Absolute L take britbong.

The thing I’ve learnt recently, through all the hate I’m getting on this timeline. The British love Americans, we just don’t like your present cult leadership. Sadly Americans now HATE all British people because their government tells them too. That’s the difference.

@JeffVaughn California has laws on the book that allow CPS to take kids from parents without notification. He's doing the thing. The, "accuse your enemies of things you do," thing. Gross.

This did not happen. There are no reports of it happening. No eyewitness accounts, and no video. The Ventura County Sheriff's Department tells me they do not have any record of what Governor Newsom is talking about. Neither does the Ventura County DA’s office or the Southern California FBI office. Lying liars always lie.

@Stingbase Every comment section of any post about American food, culture, or history prove that wrong everyday.

Americans seem to dislike europeans, but europeans dislike only Trump.

@TheCriticalDri2 I genuinely don't like that book. I tried it years ago and found the MC to be irritating. Pro commie character makes for an annoying preachy storyline. Of course it got Hollywood traction.

Lol, that's interesting since he was VERY excited to work with me and claimed to be a big fan when it benefitted him. Now that he's trying to break into TV, suddenly he's filled with "regret". Good luck sucking all that Hollywood dick, buddy. Hope it's worth it.

@Sargon_of_Akkad Absolute delusion. Europe has more shale oil than the US and up until the 1970's a decent amount of nuclear power plants. Screwing that up is all on you.

America blew up the Nordstream pipeline, and now has closed the Strait of Hormuz. Hard not to see this as a deliberate strategy of denying energy to Europe, whilst America can produce its own. Callous.

@chirno_helmet Tradition mostly. Stubbornness too. When non Americans complain we dig our heels in and refuse.

アメリカ人へ Xにいる日本人の多くがアメリカに好意的なのはわかってもらえたと思う。 ただ、俺を含めたそういった日本人全員がアメリカに対してどうしても許せないことがある。 ヤードポンド法という悪しき単位だ。なぜ世界標準であるメートル法を頑なに拒み続けるんだ。

@fromdusktildawn Ewwww. A Japanese leftist.

アメリカ人に聞きたいんだけど、 アメリカの一人当たりGDPは日本の2.6倍もあるのに、 なんでそんなに生活が苦しい人が多いの？ 高所得の人がたくさんいるんだから、再分配を少し強化するだけで、貧しい人たちの生活はぐっと楽になると思うけど、なんで再分配を強化しないの？ ちなみに、再分配を強化するのは社会主義でも共産主義でもないよ。 それは修正資本主義。君たちの大好きな資本主義を、ほんのちょっと修正しただけのものだよ。

@libsoftiktok @DataRepublican @Georgetown Of course they support what he said. This isn't even a blip in their radar.

Jonathan Brown, a Professor at @Georgetown, responded to a post calling out Islamic rape gangs in the UK, saying, "Get over it." He deleted the comment, but then DOUBLED DOWN using the SAME disgusting response when another user called him out. Do you support this @Georgetown?

@SonohennoKuma Its crazy to see that leftist tactics are exactly the same anywhere you go. Berating people until they hate their own culture is insane.

本当に、これまで日本国内の日本人向けには、「日本は悪い」と非難するニュースばかりが報じられてきたんだよ。 そこには主に左派的な価値観からの、ダブルスタンダード的な、あるいは「オリエンタリズム」に基づいた一方的な異文化弾圧的な雰囲気もあったが、少なくとも、そんな報道ばかりだった。
