As a committed left winger, I'd just like to say: I have no idea what the fuck you are talking about. You appear to be tilting at windmills. I am showing you just one important example of how science has been corrupted by activism. There are so many others. This is just the tip of the iceberg. It g...

I am sorry but I really have an itch I can't stop scratching here. One of the most toxic things which has come out of the DEI era is the assumption that any difference in medical outcomes between different races can be explained by racism...with pseudo-scientific studies being published which allege...

The whole Trump-Elon car commercial today was rather embarrassing. The US president should not be endorsing a specific product or firm. Senior US government officials should keep their business affairs in a blind trust during their tenure in government. Perhaps Republicans will now think "I'll buy ...

Congratulations on marrying a COMMUNIST flash That must be a lot of fun, engaging in mutual espionage and intermittently making a swap of prisoners. Is your delightful wife any particular type of Communist? A Leninist, Trotskyite, Stalinist or Revisionist? I cannot imagine her being a Putinista but...

If you think I'm claiming white people are evil, I am not saying that. If you think privilege is being equated with evil, you are wrong. Poor whites in the USA are an interesting demographic because they are disadvantaged by being poor, and yet they also experience privilege because they are white....

All you are really showing with your "angry white man" nonsense is that you don't really have an argument. Some of this stuff is just so wrong, it is impossible to justify via a rational argument. So you resort to ad hominems instead...or you will play "motte and bailey" games. I have seen all thes...

You won't like me saying this, but from here you sound like an angry white man upset that his privilege was challenged, and pleased that Trump is re-asserting the dominance of white men. Poor whites voting for Trump is a joke, because while Trump represents white people, he is about as far from bei...

If I had seen this 5 years ago, I would have been 10% in agreement with you. After all, who could be upset with DEI? I have been, however, as I have dug deeper I have become increasingly concerned with many of the ideas being forward and many of the implementation details. For example I find how we ...

Various US Government websites are removing photographs and mentions of the aircraft "Enola Gay" (named after the mother of one of the flight crew) because they are afraid to use the word "gay" because of Trump's anti-diversity edicts. I would like any Trump supporter on this forum to defend this l...

Back to corrupt lying oligarch Elon Musk, the South African government has today been forced to respond to lies being told on X by Musk which continue to reveal his pro-apartheid racist views: https://www.reuters.com/world/south-africa-rejects-musk-claim-starlink-cant-operate-there-because-hes-not-...

Here is what could happen while Chevron decision was active: - someone sues government agency over an interpretation of the law - government agency says the law should be interpreted their way - because of Chevron, judge deferred to the federal agency - after this federal agency could then refer to ...

The government is working with lots of systems which are decades out of date and would be massively more efficient if they were updated. One of the craziest things they found was the processing of retirement applications from an abandoned mine. Everything is done on paper and processing a retirement...

"automatically *ignored" - I hate it when I leave out a word.

She's an absolute looney tune. As I understand it, even a lot of mainstream Christians think she is a crazy, dangerous person. I have seen many comments from Christians calling her a heretic, etc. I believe she subscribes to some ultra-right religious philosophy that says that lusting for money is ...

Democracy should ensure that voters get the politicians they deserve. Politicians also rise up out of the people. You can't get anyone better than who is there. The problem with the current primary system is that it forces the nominees for each side to pander to their base to win the nomination. Th...

People have many identities/social groupings...whether it be race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, conservative vs. liberal values, rural vs. urban, over or under for the toilet paper roll etc. I think it is often too easy to many assumptions about what people will identify strongest with.

Sure, from the other side of this you could argue this is "Starve The Beast: Endgame" which dates back to Reagan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starve_the_beast I am strongly against tax cuts now too...though most of what Trump will be trying to do is to extend the tax cuts from his first term. This...

Let me give the counterpoint here. The US budget deficit for 2024 was 1.8 trillion dollars, equaling 36.5% of the total revenue of 4.92 trillion. Almost 900 billion of the spending is interest payments which is bigger than the defense budget. And this is during what is supposed to be a good economy!...

EU has blinked. They are offering to drop the import tax on US cars from 10% to 2.5%. This is inline with the tax on importing EU cars to the US:
