Wasn't spez the pedo sub moderator?

It's obvious to people that haven't gone total global conspiracy that preventing an aggressive foreign nation from directly influencing your population is generally recommended. Plenty is fucked up enough on its own without blaming every goddamn thing on zionism.

The fear was Chinese social engineering on American youth. Because they use it for that.

Where in the hell have you been for the last thirty years? The Democrats are a centrist party. If anything they're a center right party because of people spouting bullshit like you instead of pulling the party left. If every whiny liberal and leftist actually fucking voted in primaries for progressives we'd have a populist progressive Democrat party. But you'd rather bitch on the internet about your bullshit principles that got trump elected.

Isn't that usually inverted though? Where the 1 is generally the one with extreme views and the 20 are deliberately picked to be inarticulate and oafish, thus promoting the extreme view? Admittedly it's likely impossible to find a MAGAt that isn't inarticulate and oafish.

Congratulations, you are why Trump was elected. It's your fucking obligation as a citizen to be informed and engaged in our process. Is the two party system bullshit? Yes. But the way it's set up if you abstain or vote third party that's effectively a vote for a republican, and you are very nearly as responsible as them. You want a more progressive dnc? Register and fucking primary incumbent establishment dems with progressives. Drag the party left or own the fucking responsibility of being a part of the problem.

People with your attitude for the last thirty years enfeebled the Democrats. It is always the people's fault. Anything else is cope.

I blame my lazy and stupid countrymen failing an open book test. You do not need to be coerced to vote against fascism; that's a lazy stupid take that absolves the citizens of their duty and obligation to be informed and engaged in the civic process, including voting and understanding how our system actually works in practice as well as theory.

If you didn't vote or voted third party you are very nearly as responsible as the trump voters. It is not the Democratic party's responsibility to motivate you to save yourself from an existential threat. Blaming them knowing it's coming makes you stupid and complicit.

The trans athlete debate was a solved problem before the right wing learned about it. Let the professional authority body of whatever sport, in collaboration with relevant medical professionals, determine what hormone levels or transition progress is qualifying or unqualifying in each individual sport in a case by case basis. Because we tried this before, with genetic testing of Olympic female athletes and enough turned out intersex or androgyn disordered that they stopped doing it.

You raise really good points, but I'd want to add that abstract thought and the general ability to "think around corners" are at least as important (if not more so the higher you go) as experience insofar as problem solving and "smarts" go.

There's no way you're referring to the stock market? Where in the world is this free market actually practiced?

I mean younger brains do have more neuroplasticity and other factors, hence it's easier for children to learn more languages than adults. I assume this applies to more than just language.
