It's not a fake voice, apparently the guy just sounds like Elon, it's a freak coincidence lol. No clue, it's random conservative influencers I think? -

It's a guy who sounds exactly like Elon, not sure what his relevancy is outside of that. -

Destiny making a case for why he is engaging in the type of rhetoric he is engaging in: -
The problem with misinformation is that it takes longer to debunk than to generate it.

The video is retarded and it takes 5 seconds of thinking to understand why. White nationalists want to preserve the character of the nation because they are delusional racists, while Israeli jewish nationalists seek to preserve the character of the nation because there is a genuine threat that once arabs gain democratic power they would instantly be removed from their nation. And those are clips that are like years apart. Positions change, even though there is nothing inconsistent about holding these positions. -

It's called Nabraska Steve, he comes out every now and then. -

Well you'd have it running the whole time, that's what they use in Ukraine. They are heavy to carry and can compromise your location though, and you have to jam all the signal frequencies. -

Electronic jamming. -

Oh yes, AI will turn humans into superhumans, just like the internet did! -
Mushrooms make me sleepy and calm, I'd say what you describe I only get with LSD.

No, this is from Trump's platform "Truth Social". -

It's not insane because it's not what happened. His eardrum didn't bust, he ear was literally hit. He didn't fall on his knees to worship the Lord either. -

Destiny going unhinged, joked about the civilians getting killed. -

But we have argued for decades that if Hitler were about to take power, that we should kill him and so forth. All the baby Hitler hypotheticals, for what? -

So basically a political assassination is reasonable and justified in this case given that it is guaranteed that you will live under fascist rule if Trump takes office, which he is likely to take. So at this point you might as well encourage further assassination plots given the situation, no? -
Scholar replied to Merkabah Star's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
That's not guaranteed. However, if he had been killed, the Trump voters could have gone completely unhinged. That could have put you down a trajectory from which it would be near impossible to recover from. -

In this case, the only thing worse than succeeding in the assassination attempt might have been failing at the assassination attempt. I don't know if something could have happened to give Trump more political advantage. Although, the politics aside, I think people are failing to see the deeper issue here. No matter who wins the presidency, your country is fucked on a far deeper level than that. There is a huge portion of actually radicalized individuals in your country and you have no mechanisms through which to reduce the rate at which division and radicalization occurs. In fact, you have the most powerful technologies invented in the history of mankind designed to maximize division, hatred and irrationality. As I said, what is occuring here is worse than the threat of climate change, because this issue makes the resolving of any complex problem mankind faces, like climate change, impossible. Everything gets politicized, and there is no solution even in sight. It is getting worse and worse and you are doing nothing about it instead of playing into the rat race of who wins the presidency. At this point, that doesn't even matter, you are on a terrible trajectory irrespective of who wins. -

So if the crocodile did need to rape children to survive, self-love would mean raping children, because how can you not accept yourself as the child-raping-crocodile? Also I don't see how survival is related to acceptance. Do you not accept things that aren't necessary for survival? It is in everyones nature to do things that are not necessary for survival. Are you rejecting what you are? A child rapist predator? Oh god, I just realized you are an identity-dysmorphia-dysmorphian! Considering identity-dysmorphia is an integral part of human nature, you are rejecting it and therefore not accepting it, meaning you cannot even love yourself! You must rid yourselves of identity-dysmorphia-dysmorphia if you really want to know what love is.
-
Guys didn't you know? Humans have sadistic tendencies. Look at all these anti-torture-for-pleasure identity dysmorphians! I love myself so much that I torture infants for breakfast, can you love yourself as much as I can? (this is a joke, if not obvious)
-
You can make the same argument for rape, or murder. Anti-rape and anti-murder are social constructs that contradict your human nature and it's expressions. This is the dumbest thread I have seen on the forum in a long time, lol. Rape and murder with gratitude everyone, you heard it here first. Accept what you are, because you are not a human being given the capacity for reason, self improvement and empathy. No, your base desires like wanting to have sex when you want to have sex are far more important and must be accepted. Not only must they accepted as desired, they indeed must be acted upon so that you can love yourself.

Obviously. The question is whether or not Joe Biden is the right candidate to beat Trump.
-
I change my mind, I think the risk of Biden degrading over the next few months cognitively, given how rapidly it can occur, is way too high to take. They should change the candidate now even if it is a risky move.
