There is an easy way to test this. Considering all of the systemic racial preferences in place, would you rather be white or black (same skills & qualifications) if you're interviewing for a job at a Fortune 500 employer? Applying

There is one economy, likely heading into recession. There is one war that was supposed to be over quick, but is now looking as though it will spread and go in an unknown direction. The fact that many companies see this and are preparing fo

And whites are locked up at a shockingly higher rate than asians are. Men are locked up at shockingly higher rates than women are. So do we blame Asian supremacy or female supremacy for that? Or is it possible not all demographic groups com

I think you're partly right and partly wrong. The difference is likely that the US Government has more control over the other social media "Superweapons", so they're not worried about them. Also probably why they are fam

I thought I already did. If white supremacists are so anti-government then it doesn't make sense to pretend the government is run by white supremacists. It turns out that the people who make those sorts of claims are really just anti-w

If US government and it's institutions are rooted in white supremacy as so many claim, then why would white supremacists be anti-government? Seems like they'd be on the same team, no?

Those are birth defects though. For instance, we still understand humans as being bipedal despite anomalies that prevent a tiny fraction of humans from being bipedal.

The US has by far the largest public library system in the world, and it's not close. So by what metric would you consider it underfunded?

This isn't logical though. We have evidence that 8,000 was far too many, because they're gone and Twitter is still Twitter. We have zero evidence that 550 isn't still too many.

So it's some grand conspiracy that companies are doing mass layoffs as their stock prices drop, but not when they do mass hiring as their stock prices artificially inflated? What happened to basic logic here?

For all of the armchair cheerleaders, I hope people ask themselves what Russia's response will be. If they're pot committed (and it certainly seems like they are), then an escalation will inevitably be met with an even larger coun
