If the United States had waged a war against China in 2024 and lost. And China were making a “treaty of Versailles” like demands on the United States. How would they look different than what we’re currently doing to ourselves? 1. China would probably force us to severely shrink or stop our tech...

How is it trolling? And why? I’ve been a part of this board since 2004. What do I get out of trolling? I’m sorry I didn’t address every single point In your post. Maybe sometimes I don’t address every point because I don’t disagree with them? I’ll try to do better next time to avoid confusion...

Are we reading the same posts? I wasn’t trolling nor did I disagree that fentanyl was bad. I disagreed with you in the post quoted where you said: You are projecting what you think people think onto people. Hard, addictive, destructive drugs are bad. Doesn't matter if it's fentanyl, crack...

Exactly this.

Exactly. I’m not sure? Cuz it would admit something uncomfortable maybe?

Both sides guys both sides. The left also has a cult cuz they once criticized Fox News. So what Trump is doing is equivalent. In fact, it’s warranted because it’s just conservative backlash to the left. Both sides just need to come together at a picnic.

Yeah I’m not sure what these doofuses are referring to. The left doesn’t have a cult. And pretending that the right doesn’t fear monger drugs and drug addiction in order to push their disgusting race politics is exactly the type of “blind moderation” that has gotten us into this mess. “Well...

Lol what?! I don’t consume propaganda. Haha theyre using fentanyl because it’s a cudgel against immigrants and blacks. They’re not interested in actually saving addicts or helping the situation. If they really cared they wouldn’t be cutting treatment and social safety nets. If they cared they’d...

Fair enough. No one denied it was a problem. How much of a problem is it and what should be done about it is debatable. I believe in a robust social safety net but I also believe that individuals need to take greater accountability for their own actions. Drugs are bad stay away from them. Many...

This will definitely help the working class slob. Especially since religious schools are notorious for being vague about their expenses, not accepting of special needs students, and hiding child rape. But this is what the working class slob voted for cuz egg prices and Haitians eating pets or...

Or they blow their heads off with all too easily accessible suicide machines. Male suicide rates in America are through the roof, in large part due to the ease of buying guns. America, land of addiction and guns! So much freedom. We could change things. Universal health care, gun reform, etc...

And not a day went by on Fox News where he wasn’t absolutely trashed. Republicans even voted against the interests of their constituents and their own health care reforms, in order to make him a “one term president.”

I completely disagree. We just saw Trump win a second term by making drugs and race one of if not the primary issue. Our politics is dominated by how race is intertwined with drugs and crime. You might not be making it an issue by many Americans including the major political party and its...

Yet another example of what I’m talking about ruralists in Utah overwhelmingly voted for Mike Lee, Donald Trump, and the GOP. The utah leg has a super majority largely because rural Utah is so red. If you actually have liberal policy preferences then why are you voting for republicans? And if...

If you were a researcher who had opportunities in Canada, Europe, and even Asia, why would you stay here? American political leadership has made it pretty obvious that they don’t value your Expertise, aren’t going to fund your research, and may use the levers of government to harass you if your...

What? Haha place me on ignore then. Seems like an odd response to my post. Maybe this highlights our age difference? Throughout the 80s and 90s, it was pretty damn common to hear about “crack babies” and see celebrities like Bill Cosby beat up their own communities for their perceived moral...

I didn’t say they’re the only ones but historically speaking, they’re the demo that has become addicted to it the most. My point is 2 folded: 1. The way we frame drug addiction is so hypocritical. When talking about crack? It was framed by both politicians and the media as a failure of black...

People who make bad choices, why should they deserve my handouts? And why is this tied to immigration? Maybe we need to just imprison a whole bunch of ruralists/fentanyl drug addicts? I just want to make sure I’m not enabling another welfare queen from rural Tennessee. It’s crazy how I’ve...

Why can’t white people (those are who are primarily addicted to it) addicted to it just say no? I find it interesting that when it comes to opioids and fentanyl, it’s a systemic problem and we need to support these poor families while addictions among other demographic groups are seen as...

Trump is the real Michael Scott. He wants all the credit when things go well and none of the blame for when they don’t. What’s troubling to me isn’t that the teevee president is an empty husk. It’s that many think he’s smart. The power of teevee and social media to brainwash the masses and...
