It is also a racial slur that has been used historically to degrade and dehumanize blacks.

Lol at how liberals try to bully people of color from being Republican or conservative by calling them token. It’s almost like the anti-racists are being racist 😲✍️

He literally has said he wouldn’t get involved, which is much much more than genocide Joe is doing.

Nothing you listed is liberal or left wing about LinkedIn, I mean I do fucking hate it too and you’re kind of forced to use it if you want to reach the upper echelons of corporate America and some companies will straight up just make you one without your permission which in turn will make your personal information available to anyone with a search engine.

I grew up in Iowa, and I live in a large Ohio city now. There are barely any LGBT folks in Iowa, even per capita, it’s just not normal or accepted there en mass. There was literally only one gay kid in my high school of 1500.

I move to Cleveland, then I meet more LGBT people than I have ever seen in my life, even having 4 lesbians in my workplace and one FTM.

But social media is probably the biggest driving factor behind the rise of so many LGBT people in the past decade.

Why do you think it’s so radically left wing/communist here? IDK if you’ve ever seen GAB, but it feels like that for liberals.

Very fascinating really, mostly religious mumbojumbo but he did make some points that are relevant till this day like

"The creation and continuation of Israel is one of the greatest crimes.

Anyone who disputes with them on this alleged fact is accused of anti-semitism."

The fact you know this much about Linux distros and WW2 tanks might actually might actually make you the nerdiest of the nerds.

I rarely use Wikipedia as a source, but this boils it down so well. Europeans & Asian countries have practiced homosexuality for centuries, we (Africans & Middle Easterners) do not practice this, nor do we encourage our children to go out and seek an LGBT life so there is no closets they need to come out of.

Just like my aunt had to pay $130,000 for a kidney? I don’t know what country you’re in but yes that is how the American healthcare system works, you pay for the procedures you want/need. I genuinely meant no disrespect with the article, but healthcare isn’t a right for any Americans, especially free healthcare.

And I support your right to have it.

Sadly the sexual assault and violence is happening from the people abusing this program and transferring to womens prisons. Tax payer dollars should not be spent for any gender transitioning care, I will always support an adults right to do what they wish on their own dime, but this, and forcing parents to transition their kids is where the Democratic party lost me.

I think it’s more critical of how the politicians have decided to spend tax payer money, and how there haven’t been any guardrails put in place to prevent male prisoners from abusing this program and transferring to female prisons to sexually assault them.

No but the fact that 2.2 Million Dollars is about to be spent this year on transgender care for prisoners while they can’t even provide basic dental care is interesting and quite sad for such a socialist state.

Because you can get breast implants before basic dental care like “root canals on back teeth, cosmetic tooth restoration or replacement, or treatment of oral ulcers”

If you would have read the article, you would know that California doesn’t allow for root canals on back teeth, cosmetic tooth restoration or replacement, or treatment of oral ulcers—among other dental services, but if you want breast implants you can get that easily.

I’m not transphobic and neither is this article, but it does point out how the state has chosen to spend tax payer money.

I’m not saying I agree with the current state of the drug war, I just think the state should have the power to snatch you up and put you in treatment if you’re clearly addicted and constantly using hard drugs like heroin, meth, crack. I spent half my life in NJ and the other half in Iowa so I’ve seen how hard drugs like meth & crack could completely destroy people from varying ethnicities & socioeconomic backgrounds.

And Seattle did decriminalize drugs only to go back to making it illegal, because their streets started filling up with junkies and ruining their city. Some drugs deserve to be illegal to be served to humans because of how it completely destroys them, it’s just much better for society to lock people up and force them to be sober then for a state to willingly serve poison to its citizens. And if you think alcohol is addictive as meth or crack then you’re the one who’s utterly naive.

You’re thinking of older generations that weren’t properly educated on the harms of alcohol use and didn’t have safer alternatives like cannabis. Gen Z or zoomers actually drink less. And alcohol has never crippled society or been detrimental to a large groups of people in society. but opiates and meth have both had significant and detrimental impacts on various societies throughout history. Here are some examples of how these substances have harmed societies:

1. The Opioid Epidemic in the United States: This crisis has strained healthcare systems, law enforcement, and social services. The economic burden associated with opioid addiction and its consequences is substantial.

2. The Opium Wars in China: In the 19th century, China was ravaged by the Opium Wars, during which the British Empire and other European powers forced China to open its markets to opium trade. The opium trade led to widespread addiction and social problems in Chinese society. The opium wars and the subsequent opium addiction crisis had far-reaching social and economic consequences, leading to the degradation of Chinese society and the weakening of the Qing Dynasty.

3. Methamphetamine in Japan during World War II: During World War II, the Japanese government distributed methamphetamine pills (known as “Philopon” in Japan) to soldiers and civilians. This widespread methamphetamine use had disastrous effects on Japanese society. It led to addiction, health issues, and a breakdown of social and familial structures. The consequences of this drug use persisted long after the war.

4. Methamphetamine in the United States: Methamphetamine, commonly known as “meth,” has had a significant negative impact on American society. The production and use of methamphetamine have led to public health problems, crime, and environmental damage. Meth addiction has torn families apart, and the associated crimes and social problems have placed a heavy burden on law enforcement and the healthcare system.

5. Afghanistan’s Opium Production: Afghanistan has been a major global producer of opium for many years. The opium trade has funded insurgency, corruption, and violence in the country. The availability of cheap opiates has also contributed to addiction problems both in Afghanistan and among international drug users.

The consequences include addiction, health problems, family disruption, crime, and economic burdens. Efforts to address these issues often involve a combination of public health initiatives, law enforcement measures, and harm reduction strategies to mitigate the negative impact of these substances on society.
