Interestingly a lot of these sound like qualities of narcissistic individuals and the excuses they use to justify thier actions.

You're correct about people who support him operating at lower levels of consciousness. The issue is that they are unable to move up the spiral. The reason why there is so much denialism is because they would have to accept that their viewpoints are just flat-out wrong. It actually kind of scares me how many people I've heard say that if Harris wins it was rigged... This really shows their extremely unchecked bias and lack of critical thinking skills. This is also the exact kind of thinking that led to January 6 and why some people still to this day think the election was fraudulent, with absolutely no evidence of a nationwide plot to undermine Trump in the election. A lot of these people also have a child's level of understanding of how politics and society actually work at the highest levels. They don’t see the bigger picture, or either they’re too selfish and greedy to care about the rest of society. Anything that helps poor and working-class people is socialism or communism to them, but cooperation can be bailed out by the government, and never have to repay it. A lot of them also hate a strong central government but don’t realize how important that is for protecting civil rights and consumer protections. Unlimited capitalism with little to no regulations is just an anarcho-capitalist nightmare. They don’t realize thery’re literally voting against their own interest unless they’re rich. -

Millions of African people were drug from their homes to America to be slaves and many of them died in the process. They were stripped of all their cultural ties, customs, and even given new names and religions. African Americans today truly have no "home" to go to either. We have had to fight for our rights in the country we are in today. Also, the Jews didn't buy all the land they acquired in 1947, and they certainly didn't buy all the land they have today. That's a gross understatement of how Israel was created. It also doesn't address the question at all. Why did they specifically have to go to Palestine other than the reason that my great great great great great grandfather probably lived here 2,000 years ago? I don't see how that was supposed to make them any safer. Most Jewish people in the world today live in America without facing any serious existential threats. I understand that wasn't exactly an option in 1947, but the point is that other options could've been feasible in the long run other than creating a forced state which is what we today call Israel. -

Can you explain further why Jews had no other choice but to go to Palestine specifically? There were other options for a jewish state. Any reason that references it being their homeland 2000 years ago doesn't satisfy me. As an African American, I would never advocate for us to move back to western Africa and reclaim land, even though we faced hundreds of years of slavery/Jim Crow laws. Especially considering that there are people currently living there. How would that make me as somebody with African ancestry safer? I wonder the same thing about Israel and how it makes jews safer. -
Recently Kamala Harris has announced that if she wins the presidency that she plans to tax unrealized gains on individuals who have a net worth of 100 million dollars or more. Originally I thought this was a great idea, but I've been reading some conflicting reviews on this by experts and im not really sure what to make of it or if it would be a net positive or negative for american citizens in the long run. What do you guys think? https://taxfoundation.org/blog/harris-unrealized-capital-gains-tax/ https://www.kiplinger.com/taxes/cuban-harris-and-unrealized-gains-tax

I don't think you realize it but you're projecting your own biases onto @Leo Gura. Your bias towards Israel is actually keeping you from seeing multiple points of view. Leo has clearly stated in the past that Hamas is a terrorist group and this is what happens when you commit terrorism. -
I don't think you understand that the nazis DID feel like Jews were oppressing them. Whether that was true or not is irrelevant. That was their true, authentic feeling. You're not seeing your own self-serving bias that caters to Israeli needs and feelings and not those of Arabs and other groups. Your strong feelings which lead to agreeing with a lot of Israel's actions are the SAME reasons and principles that convicted the nazis and other Islamic terror groups.

You can look this stuff up on his website. Its kind of vauge but it'll give a general idea of what he claims he wants to do. -
Just watched this same video this morning. I had heard about this in the past but only breifly. I also wonder what most trump supporters would say if they saw this video. Im sure most would deny any wrong doing on trumps part.

umm, what? Do you realize that black people work in pretty much every type of job sector that exists in America? That's just racist to say a large amount of them take jobs that don't require high qualifications. Can you provide any source for that? And what's the percentage compared to other races? -

He recently said in the last debate that immigrants are stealing black jobs. Can you explain to me what a black job is? And why would immigrants be "stealing" them? -

I appreciate your perspective on this, but it seems like you're justifying his actions in this situation. To add a little more context he has two DUIs and has worked for 6 agencies in the past 4 years. I don't think him dealing with degenerates is the reason for his behavior. There is a bigger issue specifically with this cop. He should have never been allowed to continue working in law enforcement. -

That photo on the left is doctored. It says that the zip code is 15102, which is not a Pittsburg address.
