@FalconryFinance Many of the people criticizing the cop’s actions are absolute mouth-breathing morons. They know absolutely nothing about these types of situations and what can happen. People criticizing the cop are doing so from a place of deep ignorance.

@paragjy @RyanSaavedra Nuclear weapons were a brand new invention, and I don’t think anyone really quite understood exactly what it would be like to drop the bomb. Only after it was done could people really reflect on it and realize their power is too great to be used again.
English

@RyanSaavedra America is the only country that used nuclear weapons and destroyed two cities and killed 150,000 people.
Who should the world be afraid?
Who is the one that doesn't deserve to have nuclear weapons?

English

@FAFOmyfriend @RyanSaavedra We have the right because we said so. It’s us whose heads are on the line if they get nuclear weapons. They’ve said a million times before they we’re their sworn enemy. It’s only logical we’d want to take them out before they can get a nuclear bomb, and we have the means to do it
English

@RyanSaavedra I still don't understand why we have the right to tell any countries they can't have nuclear weapons when we have them and are the only country in world history to use them against another nation.

@greyman17761 @AmiriKing A. Your bike would probably get stolen
B. You’d feel safe riding your bike through the hood?
Just get a cheap, crappy manual transmission car. Probably wouldn’t get stolen, and 99% of thieves probably couldn’t drive a manual anyway.
English

@AmiriKing I would sale my car and just use a bicycle so my car doesn’t get stolen, deadbolt my door, remain armed at all times, have a full security system, and would not introduce myself to anyone. 12 months can be done, not a great year but worth it.

George Washington University announced that next academic year, the estimated cost for returning students will be just over $98,000 per year. nbc4dc.com/bUubTwh

@TheLaurenChen The real answer is that women are working instead of having kids. There, I solved the mystery.
English

Boomers don't want to hear this, but one of the (many) reasons why my generation isn't having as many kids?
A lot of millennials feel they can't depend on their parents for help the way they saw their own grandparents pitch in when they were growing up

So Kristi Noem's husband apparently likes to crossdress and wear massive fake boobs...
National security experts warn it could have opened up the ex-Cabinet member to blackmail
What an insane report from @JoshTBoswell and @newshound990

@stanger_aidan @edenstanwarr @DefiantLs In practice, equity is about achieving equal outcomes. And in practice, social justice will do whatever necessary to attempt to achieve equal outcomes, even if it means bringing others down. It’s envy, period.
English

@don_grantham @edenstanwarr @DefiantLs It doesn’t mean exactly equal outcomes. What it means is helping those who need help.
And it looks like you envy that help!
English

@stanger_aidan @edenstanwarr @DefiantLs But that is not how it is applied. It’s all about equity, which essentially means equal outcomes. The only way to achieve that is to take from one group and give to another. That’s not justice. That’s not a fair go. That’s envy. Social justice isn’t what is said, it what is done.
English

@_lfcsb @TheRedmenTV @SpionKop1906 @spiritofshankly @LFC_LGBT @culturedlfc @LFCWSC I asked people with nut allergies if they were in favor of peanuts on airplanes and they were against it. I also asked thieves if they are in favor of police and shockingly they are opposed to police.

@stanger_aidan @edenstanwarr @DefiantLs Tell me in your own words what social justice is. (And really, it doesn’t matter what anyone *says* it is. We’ve all seen how it plays out in reality. In practice, rules implemented are based on envy.)
English

@don_grantham @edenstanwarr @DefiantLs That’s not social justice either; it’s Political Correctness.
English

@stanger_aidan @edenstanwarr @DefiantLs “Tall poppy syndrome” is also rooted in envy. Many of these labels overlap. But they’re all rooted in envy.
English

@stanger_aidan @edenstanwarr @DefiantLs Think of affirmative action. It doesn’t expand opportunity for all. It lowers standards for favored groups and caps spots for high achievers. That’s not justice. But that is exactly how social justice works in practice. It’s based on envy.
English

@don_grantham @edenstanwarr @DefiantLs Social justice means a fair go for all.
Envy is NEVER social justice; the claim that it is is propaganda from those who think the poor don’t deserve a fair go.
English

@OkayBiology She may look kinda like a man, but she argues and gestures exactly like a woman.
English

The trans civil rights lawyer spent years demanding to be treated like a man.🏳️⚧️
But when it came to the crunch she decided she'd rather be manhandled by female officers instead.
She is no longer a civil rights lawyer after being charged with contempt of court.
#TransCardRevoked
English

@OkayBiology "Get a female officer!" They should have brought in another man but in a skirt and said "Here she is."🤣
What a whiny infant. Totally unprofessional and guaranteed to lose her the case. If she can yell "I can't breathe!" at full volume repeatedly she's breathing just fine.
English

@edenstanwarr @DefiantLs But that’s not what “social justice” is about in practice. It’s about taking from others. Knocking them down a peg. It’s not about making sure poor people have medical care and food and housing. The only bullshit here is conflating taking care of the poor with social justice.
English

@DefiantLs Such bullshit. Why do poor people want housing? Why do poor people want good medical care? Why do they want food, clothing and transport?
They want them for the same reason rich people do, stupid. They want them because they are desirable.
Envy is entirely optional.
