I wouldn't be so quick to label them aliens (or extraterrestrial) . There's a reason David Grush uses "nonhuman intelligence" as oppose to aliens. If you study the phenomena long enough you'll see that extraterrestrial theory doesn't quite add up. So many of these cases have no rationale behind them. I think Jacques Valle, whose been studying the phenomena for decades may be on to something. He posits that the phenomena may be behind a lot of the religions and folklore throughout human history and that it may ultimately be apart of some control system that aims to guide humans along some unknown path.

How do you deal with racist and xenophobic people? You don't. At least I don't unless they're a direct threat to me or my family. All you can do is try to educate other people who'll listen. These are ignorant and miserable people for the most part. Think about where your life has to be to take the time and effort to shit talk about other groups of people online all day.

Defence Research and Development Canada in Possession of Recovered UAP Material

They've been here for thousands of years interacting with us in mysterious ways

dude, inform yourself and take time to listen to the actual indictment. These are very serious charges and they aren't unwarranted.

PBD is a great interviewer when it comes to people he agrees with. I find him obtuse and crude with people he doesn't see eye to eye with. Its astonishing how he'll repeat almost every right wing talking point in verbatim, even after he is fact checked.

Not enough for a 3rd party candidate to become president.

I agree that we need to dismantle the 2 party system, which is why I'd prefer something like rank choice voting. Presently, there is no viable 3rd party that stands a chance to compete with Democrats or Republicans with the way our voting system is structured. And yes, most people who're on the right or centrist AREN'T voting for Cornell West. Its foolish to even believe so. Cornell West will siphon far more votes from left leaning people than those who lean right. Historically, 3rd party candidates have had pretty disastrous consequences. Ralph Nader in 2000 got us Bush, which led to two disastrous war, deregulation of financial institutions that led to the 2008 Great Recession, and inaction on climate change (at a time when it transitioning from fossil fuels could have prevent the grim trajectory we currently find ourselves on). Jill Stein in 2016 led to Trump, which led to a staunchly conservative leaning SCOTUS, the deliberate mishandling of a once in a century pandemic, inaction on climate change, further extremism on the right, and the attempted overthrow of an election etc etc. Our political actions have far reaching consequences and if Cornell West gets just 2% or 3% of the vote it will more than likely lead to Trump or DeSantis becoming president. And I shouldn't have to explain why a party that just tried attempting a coup and still denies the election results is so dangerous. In my humble opinion if Republicans are given power again, they'll do everything in their power to ensure we have a one party state. Similar to Russia and Hungary. And not having a viable 3rd party will be the least of our worries.

No, its the most pragmatic mentality if your intent is to keep fascists from taking power. And the Republican party are growing more and more authoritarian and fascistic. They're currently the biggest threat to our democracy. Furthermore, Democrats have come up with numerous pieces of legislation that could help working class Americans and each time the entire Republican party has obstructed it. They are not the same party. A good number of Americans don't vote because they're completely ignorant of the importance of politics and simply don't care. Bernie campaigned on a number of hot button issues that should have brought out more voters and they DIDN'T show up.

If West gets just 2% of the vote and paves the way for a Trump or DeSantis victory, there will be no viable path for a 3rd party. It will permanent one party rule.

Reading this entire post was an incredible mind fu**. Trump.....a man who stored classified documents concerning our nuclear weapons in an open ball room is 10x better than Biden...? Brother, you can't be serious with this. I could break down pretty much everything you mentioned but I don't think its worth it.

This is the same sentiment I share. Keeping the current fascistic strand of the Republican Party out of power is priority number one. Vaush sums it up pretty nicely here

Here's an interesting possibility and mind f***. What if the phenomena is able to manipulate time and that what we're witnessing is the same craft (and beings) that ancient humans witnessed and created entire religions around....

It certainly seems that way. Although I'm not entirely convinced that the phenomena is completely extraterrestrial. After studying the work of Jacques Vallee, I'm leaning toward the idea that there is something much deeper to this phenomena and that it is a possible explanation for much of the folklore and religions myths created throughout human history .

If you study the subject long enough you'll see that a lot of their actions are nonsensical.

House Oversight plans UFO hearing after unconfirmed claims of crashed alien spacecraft I'm not too confident that Congress or AARO will be able to obtain classified info about this. It seems like there are echelons in our government that maintain a strict culture of secrecy regarding this topic. If what Dave Grusch says is true regarding our inability to reverse engineer these craft perhaps the only solution is an official disclosure to attract more scientists and engineers to study it.

Is this what stage yellow 2 tiered thinking looks like?

You're generalizing. Muslims are very hardworking. Immigrants may be more dependent on welfare because they are on average poorer.

Apparently DeSantis recently signed a bill that shields Spacex from liability. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/ron-desantis-signs-bill-elon-musk-spacex-spaceflight-liability-1234742632/amp/ https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/13s60bz/desantis_signs_bill_shielding_musks_spacex_from/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share Its starting to make sense....

Compare and contrast this to Republicans banning books, threatening Civil War every 5 mins,banning abortions, trying to steal elections, allowing every crazed lunatic to purchase assault weapons, threatening corporations who don't align with their values, holding the economy hostage by allowing the US to default just to pass their agenda (which isn't in favor of the working class), trying to legalize child labor, trying to impose Christian nationalism on everyone, stoking stohastic terrorism by deliberately spreading misinfo to their lunatic base, denying systemic racism, denying climate change, calling Dems pedophiles when they're constantly involved in some scandal that involes sexual misconduct or pedophilia, opposing expanding healthcare, opposing student debt relief, opposing a livable wage, praising foreign dictators, etc etc etc No. Both parties are NOT the same.

What is in your opinion considered income worthy? If you're asking if there should income requirements before starting a family then absolutely not. In the long run that will create more problems than you think it will solve.
