海外の皆んな、教えて欲しい､､( ･᷄-･᷅ ) 「日本人ファースト」って言葉は、海外では「自分の国を第一に考えるのは当然」という当たり前の感覚なのに… 日本人がそれを口にした途端に「差別主義者」とレッテル貼りされて、国会議員レベルで糾弾されるのはなんでだろう…

Just so we’re clear, Pizzagate was real and Russiagate was fake.

« Ce que les Africains désirent de l'Europe, c'est ce que leur présence y abolit. Ils s'émerveillent ou s'émerveillaient d'une prospérité ordonnée, confortable, généreuse et paisible, sans bien se rendre compte, souvent, qu'elle est le résultat du très long effort des peuples européens, sur plusieurs générations et même plusieurs siècles, vers plus d'abnégation, d'honnêteté, de confiance, de moins-pour-le-plus, en un mot d'in-nocence. Ce sont les sociétés de confiance, celles où l'on n'a pas à se soucier en permanence de n'être pas volé, escroqué, exploité, trompé, attaqué, égorgé ou assassiné, qui font naître l'opulence et le bonheur. Les sociétés ne sont pas agressives et violentes parce qu'elles sont pauvres, elles sont pauvres parce qu'elles sont agressives et violentes. » @RenaudCamus

🇯🇵🌸 This is a beautiful 25-string koto performance under blooming cherry blossoms. Thank you everyone for the positive vibes about Japan lately. We appreciate it!

I'm watching the Harry potter movies with my son, and I can't express to you the degree to which this woman is the perfect embodiment of the spirit which has infected our culture.

The whole concept of an “insanity plea” is total nonsense. If someone is too delusional to understand that they aren’t supposed to randomly shoot people, that’s all the more reason to simply execute them. Society is not morally obligated to keep psychotic killers alive until they die of old age. It’s madness.

What if the government told your family ranch you owed $3.7 million… for a pond your cattle have been drinking from for decades? That’s exactly what’s happening to a fourth-generation ranch family in Washington State. Wade and Teresa King have been running cattle on their land for generations. Like thousands of ranchers across the West, they built small stock ponds so their cattle have water in dry country. Now the Washington State Department of Ecology says those ponds aren’t ponds. They say they’re illegal wetlands. The state has already issued the ranch a $267,540 fine and claims the family may have to spend over $3.7 million restoring the land. On top of that, the Washington Department of Natural Resources terminated grazing leases the ranch had held for around 60 years, removing nearly 15,000 acres of grazing land their operation depended on. The King family says these are man-made cattle ponds, something ranchers across the West have built and maintained for generations. The state says they damaged rare wetlands. Now the fight isn’t just about ponds. It’s about property rights, agriculture, and whether ranchers have the right to defend themselves in front of a jury instead of a government administrative court. If the state wins, this case could affect thousands of ranches across the western United States that rely on stock ponds to water cattle. This isn’t just one ranch’s fight. It could shape the future of American ranching. If you believe American ranchers deserve truth, trust, and transparency in the food system, help us rebuild a producer-led beef supply chain. Visit GoARABeef.org to learn how ranchers are working together to bring transparency and fair markets back to American agriculture. Because the fight for American land, American ranchers, and American food is just getting started. ⸻ #Ranching #PropertyRights #AmericanRancherAlliance #AgNews #FoodSystem #FarmLife #TruthInFarming #CattleCountry #AgTok #FarmNews

@PNWConservative “Fair share”, like all of leftist rhetoric, is just a kind of spell they cast to get you to do what they want.

I have yet to find a socialist who can tell me what a “fair share” is. They never have an answer. Kind of like when you ask them what it’s like to work an 8 hour shift.

@PNWConservative Anarcho-tyranny

WA Dems: Not paying the Unconstitutional Income Tax is a Class C Felony. WA GOP: That is a harsher penalty than having s*x with a corpse. WA Dems (Probably): Well yeah we don’t want to go to jail.

@cremieuxrecueil @Devon_Eriksen_ More of Appeal to Authority...

@Devon_Eriksen_ I don't think it is. Want to explain how?

The term "ad hominem" is widely misunderstood. For some reason, there are people who think it means 'throwing around insults', 'laughing at someone', or things of that nature. But that's not at all the case. Here's a helpful explanatory comic:

One thing you notice when you read pretty much anything written more than 100 years ago is just how impoverished and bland and limited our language has become. People spoke and wrote in a kind of effortlessly rich and descriptive way that almost no one does today. On this site a lot of people write almost exclusively in cliches and internet lingo. A lot of people speak like that too. The language contracts, our conversational vocabulary shrinks more and more over time. And the more limited we become in our language, the more limited we are in our thinking.

@TheAliceSmith Nazism is marxisms twin. An easy scapegoat to blame on the right, but practically identical in all ways that matter.

Marxism is worse than Nazism because it killed more people, over a longer period, throughout more countries, and infiltrated more Western institutions, as it does to this day.

@Devon_Eriksen_ I love your write-up here. Just one distinction: "empathy" only covers understanding of others' emotional state, the rest is "theory of mind", and no, wokies don't have that for people unlike themselves either.

Why Wokies Can't Write Did you ever wonder why wokies can't write good fiction? No, it's not just because they insist on making every story a soapbox to deliver a lecture from. They do that, but it's covering up a far deeper problem. That's why they write stories that suck even when they are compelled to stop preaching for five minutes by the threat of immanent bankruptcy. Even when they try to write a story that's just a story, they're no good at it, because they lack the one most critical skill that a fiction author must have. Empathy. Yeah, you read that correctly. Wokies lack empathy. Yes, they say they have loads of it, they berate the chuds for lacking it, they talk about it constantly. But wokies are actually defined by their lack of empathy. Lacking empathy is the very thing that makes them wokies. And they are blind to this fact because they don't know what empathy really is. They think it means being nice to people or having sympathy for them or thinking well of them. But it means none of these things. Empathy means the ability to understand someone else's point of view. Doesn't mean you like him. Doesn't mean you trust him. Doesn't mean you want to invite him to your country or let him babysit your kids. Doesn't mean you want to excuse his crimes. It just means you know what he's thinking, how he feels, and why he does what he does. Wokies are wokies because they have little or no empathy. They don't understand other people. They only understand themselves. When they try to understand other people, they do so by assuming that everyone is like them. If they are nice, sweet, good-natured people, they will assume that George Floyd was just like them, and he only robbed people because he wasn't given enough money or hugs. If they are sociopathic thugs like George Floyd, they will assume that middle class professional are just like them, and the only reason they don't rob banks is because they are too scared to take the risk. But whoever they are, this is why they subscribe to blank-slatist theories of human nature. This is why they say dumb things like "there is only one race, the human race", when they would never say there are no dog breeds. This is why they want to invite Pushtun tribesmen to their nice middle class American neighborhoods and expect them to fit in. It's why they want to hug serial murderers and forgive them instead of hanging them from the nearest oak tree. It's why they insist every show on television has to include a character who looks and talks exactly like them. Because they can't identify with anyone who doesn't. It's why when they adapt, for TV, the story of a fantasy-world hedge knight, written by someone who actually read some medieval history, it's full of irrelevant brown people, childhood backstory inserts, saxophone soundtrack music, and snarky millenial dialogue. It's why when they have to write their own stories, they write snarky dialogue about minor Chinese-American intergenerational trauma that they have because their parents lacked empathy, too. This shit is fascinating to them, and they can't even conceive of the very obvious fact that everyone else in the room is stifling a yawn. And it's not just why they can't come up with interesting stories, it's also why they can't actually write. Empathy is the primary skill of a fiction writer, because every moment that you are actually sitting at your desk, banging away on your keyboard, trying to write something compelling about a fictional guy in a fictional situation, what you have to do is empathize in two directions at once. You must empathize with the character, who is a bit like you but not completely, to understand and convey what he's thinking, what it feels like for him to be where he is, and what he's likely to do. And you must simultaneously empathize with the reader, who is a bit like you but not completely, and isn't there for you to observe, so you can present all of the above in a way that's interesting to him. And wokies can't do either one, because they have no empathy, and can only understand themselves. So they write stories about carbon copies of themselves, for carbon copies of themselves. And no one is interested except carbon copies of themselves. Which is why even wokies don't consume wokie stories at anything like the rate that chuds read chud stories. Because wokies are not actually all the same except in their lack of empathy. They just think they are. So they get served stories that they ideologically approve of, and will write a social media post in support of, but they don't really follow those stories too much, because they're actually not that into it. After all, even if you choose to write a self-insert character, you still need the empathy to make that character interesting to someone who isn't a self-insert reader. Good authors can write stories about characters and situations that all compelling for people who like those characters and situations. Great authors can write characters who are understandable and interesting to readers who are totally different from both author and character. Wokies can only barely manage to entertain clones of themselves.

@PattyMurray Truth is, you don’t even like that families exist, you’d replace the with the state if you could, and if you cared about average family expenses, you would reduce taxes and relax regulations so we can thrive.

The reality of Trump's "Golden Age" is that the average family is paying $1,700 MORE because of his tariffs. That's a Trump tax we're all living with.

Can someone on the left explain to me why the oil companies are only targeting Washington for price gouging?
