First, Malfoid ain't even sexualized. Ya'll are so terminally porn brained that you just default to assuming anything not utterly repulsive causes everyone else to compulsively masturbate.

Second, foid is entering the lexicon. Best make your peace with that fact. Not sure why you're so upset about it's dubious origins. It's not a cognito hazard. People seeing it and thinking "Oh, that rolls off the tongue quite nicely" aren't going to turn into incels. It's long since breached incel containment as people use 'foid' and 'moid' as terms of endearment. It's just a weakness of spirit that lets a word hold so much power over you.

I bet this would go a lot harder if I ever watched this movie.

We didn't. We waged war on Maduro, black bagged him, and took him out of the country.

Good news! It didn't even last until sunrise.

From this side of it, looks like it's just gonna end one.

Conservation of Ninjutsu applies just as much to technology as it does to ninja.

Sorry, Centcom commandeered the row boat too. Good luck with those bottle rockets though.

How have politics gotten to the point that this is far right?

The book spends a whole chapter explaining it.

And the explanation was plain wrong.

I get it though. You need the military to eat shit, otherwise the plot doesn't happen.

It still works on a small scale. A military response is hours away after all.

My favorite part of Shaun of the Dead was that the climactic final stand against the zombie horde just ended with the military rolling up and saving the day.

Germany and Japan believed in the legitimacy of their governments, and those governments could actually project very real control over all their territory. That makes a LOT of difference.

Also, there are Japanese and German peoples. "Afghanistan" is just a geographic region that a bunch of different peoples live in.

Why havent for the most part public schools been able to mimic the private sector?

Politics. Inability to be selective with students.

Like 90% of public schools problems could be addressed by expelling a tiny handful of disruptive students. The other 10% can be solved by simply not accepting kids that score under a certain cut-off.

Except unlike Private schools, public schools can't really do that. They end up having to pick up the slack of students with learning disability, low IQ's, shitty home lives, no parental involvement, disruptive students, that one asshole that literally paints his shit on the walls.

Private schools are really just teaching on easy mode.

Why is it seemingly taking so long to isolate good ideologies from bad ones?

And again, politics. George Bush, a Republican (Gasp!) endorsed phonics. Overnight like 80% of teachers immediately believed phonics was a conservative conspiracy to keep children from reading. Sure, I'm exaggerating, but you get the point. Teachers will oppose most good ideas if the wrong people support them.

Then comes the question: What IS a 'good' ideology here? Nothing works for 100% of kids. Should 95%+ of effort be spent on the bottom 10 kids? Is it a 'good' ideology if the average student can barely pass testing, but the bottom 10% score slightly better? Is it good if we just ignore the bottom 20% of students and inflate averages with the top 80?

I suspect that what most people would consider 'good' ideologies for education are nigh impossible. They exist only as theory, there is no one-size-fits-all solution that leads to broad improvement for everyone.

How is it that schooling has existed for thousands of years but we still seem to have such little clue as to what actually works?

For things like the hallways, often because there is no decent practical solution but people feel compelled to try anyways.

For things like teaching kids to read? The goal of academic education has changed from bettering a small elite, to trying to work for everyone. Except not everyone has equal intellectual capacity. So it's a never-ending game of trying to find what works for the bottom 20% of students. Except nothing really works for them.

It's why liberty has limits it can attain before civilization falls apart: There's a lot of things that nobody should do, but without rough men at the ready to beat them to death in the streets for doing it, a whole bunch of people will do it.

This is why gay shit is either balls to walls degeneracy on display, or banned from public life. You give em an inch, and they'll powerbottom the rest of the way.

Looking in people's beds

Lol. Lmao. If there's one thing I've learned since gay marriage got legalized, the problem isn't what they do in bed, it's what they do in the streets and the persistent outreach to children.

Because there's one fundamental question with 2 positions: Is your sexuality/sexual expression a matter of public concern or not: If it IS a matter of public concern, extensive restrictions is just the obvious follow on. If it's NOT a matter of public concern, then you're a fucking nazi if you think there should be any restrictions.

Yes. Just 90 degrees.

It is pretty absurd that your Marshal is a Pope.

Problem is that the facts are clear. Your view is objectively correct. There is no lens, no perspective, that can offer up a challenge to the objective fact...

...as long as the nukes never fly.

The only serious challenge to your view is the fact that humans are not actually rational beings. The chance of a nuclear exchange is greater than zero, and the effects of a nuclear exchange are vastly more catastrophic than every conventional war we didn't fight, combined.

Hey, it worked for Belka.

Looking at the steam numbers, it's not like the progs came out for it either. Con/Prog unity, in not paying $40 bucks for Concord. Finally, the deep political divide is healing.

It’s a legitimately fun shooter and I’m tired of pretending it’s not

Sounds like a lot of cope from someone that spent $40 on a game that's dead on arrival.

but so many chronically online gamers have this insane anti “woke” hate boner fueled by influencers who are monetarily incentivized to manipulate them by providing bad hot takes.

Those hot-takes get so much traction because the audience agrees with them to begin with. It's not the fault of these channels that Concord is a hilarious flop. No one that would buy Concord in the first place would give a flying fuck about whatever these channels say.

Then grab a rifle, go to Sudan, and do something about it.

Or do you just want to send me to go kill people there instead? Because you also sound like the kind of person that's going to complain about the 'Hague Invasion Act' that protects me after people like you, who lack the resolve to grab a rifle and do it yourself, send me to do it for you and reality sets in that mass murdering my fellow man tends to be nasty business.
