Polls: Society & Politics

Maybe it’s just me…

If it be for me, I wouldn't know what to do if I hung out with either a liberal or a conservative.

Is this a new trend that started in the last decade or so, am I wrong for thinking this or am I self projecting?

I just find it funny because a lot of people I've known with low self esteem have had shades of narcissism and a strange inferiority/superiority complex. Are they delusional and this is just how they cope by bouncing between two extremes?

I feel like I'm no exception to this, because I find myself on this pendulum swing between these two extremes at times depending on the situation and circumstances, but I'm able to dismantle this nonsense by objectively analyzing the situations.

I notice this a lot when it comes to dating where people who lack quality options (or any options at all) thinking they deserve some sort of perfect being, or those who demand loyalty and respect but simultaneously lack morals & ethics. I find it so hilariously asinine.

Some examples - undesirable/incel type of men demanding some sort of make believe traditional virgin woman/wife BUT they lack masculinity or desirable traits (like personality, strength, athleticism, overall attractiveness, and competency, etc.. )

And overly sexual & aggressive women who lack morals & ethics and anything else desirable/respectable from a partner, and they do shady hoe shit demanding men who look like professional athletes with CEO incomes.

I just find the lack of awareness funny & kind of sad, I don't know what could be done to find a balance (at least not in a generic advice sort of way because a lot of these problem require immense effort & soul searching that pertains to that particular individual even if the problems are fairly common & shared)

This is kind of a philosophical question im putting to people. questioning the idea of freedom. Here you have a man in hot desert, and all though he has no food water or clothes... he technically is free to do whatever he wants to do. there are no laws to restrict him.

Do you think he is truly a free man though?

I believe college these days is mostly indoctrination. From not allowing conservatives on campus, to the fake global warming environmental crisis, to saying God is superstition, to the overcrowding lie, to not allowing free speech on campus, to under-minding the Constitution , to promoting socialism and communism, and not allowing other viewpoints.

I am an old southern white boy. (If you are already assuming that you can predict something about my attitudes based on that sentence, then that is an example of PREJUDICE: judging someone's character on the basis of stereotypes.)

I have friends and acquaintances who are members of different races and ethnic groups. But I have a strong dislike for ghetto culture. If you want to claim that ghetto culture does not exist, post your own question or myTake on that topic. For me, and for many, many people, it's real, it's counterproductive, it exalts ignorance, and it perpetuates itself. And I dislike anybody who embraces or tries to advance ghetto culture.

Ghetto culture does not belong exclusively to one race or ethnic group, just as Section 8 housing and housing projects are not occupier exclusively by one race or ethnic group. In fact, less than 50% of all households in federally subsidized housing are black.

It occurs to me that my rejection of ghetto culture might lead some people to assume that I am a racist (and that fuels their need to get their SJW fix.) What do you think? Is disapproval of ghetto culture the same thing as racism?

Just seeing all the aftermath of what 2020 BLM rioting had done:

• More people were killed in BLM riots last year (over 30) than the total number of unarmed black men killed nationwide by police in 2019 (which was 19 total)
• BLM riots did billions in property damage including destroying black owned businesses.
• Inner city crime rates have skyrocketed (particularly black on black crime) thanks to BLMs effective demonization of police officers.
• BLM co-founder Patrisse Culors (who self identified as a trained Marxist in 2015) bought a $1.3 million home in a mostly white neighborhood. Where did she get that money?
• Mass BLM protests occurred at the height of the pandemic helping further spread covid
• Anyone who even didn’t even openly support BLM at its height of power was questioned and often m ostracized.

Personally I knew it was communist bullshit from day one. But I knew it would take some time for the organization to show its true colors and self destruct.
