    That's pretty insightful. I didn't think about shutting off all the recharge stations in an area experiencing anti-government protests, but that's a good idea. China has already cut off access to Alipay online payments for trivial issues. Without cash, you'd be helpless.

    You are correct to point out the many problems with capitalism . Dealing with an excess of plenty is a challenge, and it will be a challenge going into the future. Under socialism, there wouldn't be any products at all.

    Gays are less than 2% of the population. They have an outsized influence because they are over-represented on the performing arts and Hollywood, and they provide a useful cudgel for the the cultural left to attack Christianity. Muslims also provide a cudgel to attack traditional Christianity (logically inconsistent with using gays for the same purpose but logic doesn't count for much in culture wars), and exercise a heckler's veto over the public debate. So they also, despite being less than 2% of the population in the US, have outsized influence.

    "The long-established wisdom has it that 10% of the American public is gay or lesbian. But when asked, the majority of Americans estimate that almost 25% of their fellow citizens are homosexual to one extent or another."

Called âoeDEMOCRACY MATTERS, Strategic Plan For Actionâ, it lists four leftist partner organizations: Media Matters, American Bridge 21st Century, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), and Shareblue.

    These are some of the most well-funded, well-entrenched, and well known leftist organizations in America. Billionaire George Soros is a key backer.

    The entire concept that we need a "leader" is the whole problem. Who came up with this idea? As far as I can tell, the Americans came up with it so they could play World Police. The Americans have done an absolutely hideous job being "world leader", starting wars left and right. Millions of poor brown people died. The most recent US president spent his entire time in office at war, and yet was honored as a man of peace by these same globalists.

    Maybe it's time we retired the "world leader" thing. And the whole "free world" existed in contrast to the Communist world, which doesn't exist any more. It's time to rid ourselves of harmful old thinking, and forge boldly into a progressive future where nobody can dominate others.

  14. Since that memo suggesting that Google's gender gap might be explained by women having less interest in or aptitude for software engineering, and Damore argued that Google was becoming an "ideological echo chamber" where right-of-center views weren't welcome. When Google terminated Damore, many conservatives argued that Google proved Damore's point. Google has clearly gone evil, and they deserve all the shit that they get. Including journalistic bias and outright fake news. Fuck 'em. And I say this as a former staunch Google loyalist.

  15. EU politicians don't even get remotely the income of US politicians so it's not like they're just making themselves rich off of grants like this.

    So, how are they enriching themselves? It's got to be another way, then. We know for a fact they are, all we have to do is investigate. How many EU politicians have been put in jail by investigative journalists recently? Are European mainstream media spending resources to uncover EU corruption?
