Sweden 🇸🇪 before & after multiculturalism failed “In 1975, there were about 800 reported rapes in Sweden. In 2025, there were over 10,000. Rapes have risen by about 1200%, while the population size only grew by about 30% in the same timeframe”
Open Borders must stop and mass deportations must start in Sweden 🇸🇪
You're much more of a slave to the 1% that commit 50% of crimes than you are to the 1% that create 40% of the wealth.
@Catbendzick Minnesotans deserve someone who will put an end to the massive fraud committed in our state & not sit idly by knowing it was going on. Minnesotans are sick to death of the DFL who literally have destroyed our once surplus sensible state!
Tom Steyer: “I’m totally in favor of trans athletes in high school. When you understand the vulnerability, the stress, the danger of being a trans kid and you understand almost half of them try to commit suicide. Then you think we’re gonna punish those kids, we’re gonna cut them off from team sport. It’s like, no we’re not”
@itsTAK3AW4Y no i see gay and trans people as historically oppressed groups who need protection and legal rights and whose claims are fairly within the liberal tradition and who have a lasting place in US life. That's part of why I see lefty crap like "Q" to be so substantively harmful.
One of the most persistent false beliefs in American culture is that the Floyd/BLM riots were incredibly peaceful, causing little damage to life and property. In fact, the Floyd/BLM riots were the most destructive riots in American history, leading insurance agencies to designate them as a "catastrophe event." (See first chart below showing that misinformation about the Floyd/BLM riots is positively correlated with trust in journalists.) (See second chart below showing that misinformation about the Floyd/BLM riots is associated with left-leaning political beleifs.)
Are Teen Takeovers a Symptom of Bad Parenting or is Social Media to blame? Hundreds of teenagers organize in minutes via TikTok and Snapchat. They swarm malls, parks, beaches, and streets. This leads to fights, damaged property, and overwhelmed police. Parents Blame Social Media. Platforms do reward outrageous behavior with likes and views. Viral posts and AI flyers turn bored teens into flash mobs. BUT Many teens also lack supervision and structure at home. Past generations faced boredom without shutting down public spaces. Cities use curfews and fines, but these are short-term fixes. Real change requires 🔹️parents to reclaim authority 🔹️schools to teach discipline 🔹️platforms to limit rapid organization of minors 🔹️and more supervised youth activities What are your thoughts on this issue?
