It is peculiar how the segregationist isolationists and cancel-culture-peddlers use exactly the same lines of reasoning, while 1 gets tagged as racist and the other a radically anti-racist. It is about time for people to look at the core et

Genuine question, outside of bragging rights, what advantage does this kind of PR have ? If you found a niche that no one else has turned into a race to the bottom yet, why would you want the world to know about it ? It's like Warren B

The CIA, FBI & Military industrial complex seem to actively work towards their own interests, separate from the democratic will of the citizens of the US. It is hard to view this as anything but the 'deep state'. If the US was

The manga model ? I'm not sure I like that idea. The best books are edited over multiple times after completion. I like it as a way for the most hard-core fans to track a work in progress. But not weekly progress as canonical record of

Volkswagen confuses me. The new e-Van shows the strength of brand nostalgia and a pretty great engineering core for building solid cars with a perfect match for the target market. At the same time, I haven't seen 1 positive take of Vol
