Anyway, I know I was sick and might have missed this being discussed, but I just want to say -

This whole Twitterfiles misadventure with Taibbi and Wiess leading to the information of right wingers regularly being given preferential treatment by Jack Dorsey on the platform for years being released is just *chef's kiss*
Yeah, complaining about being "shadowbanned" despite having millions of followers and constant views while showing screenshots of big ol' Do Not Ban This Account tags really encapsulates the conservative victim complex

My first impression of this is, oh a Japanese far-right president who was useful for US foreign policy due to him arming up Japan against North Korea and China just died due to a left winger who hated his nationalism.

After listening to Hasan's take on this. He convinced me fully. The cult of the Unification Church tied to Abe literally destroyed the guy who killed Shizo Abe's life by manipulating his mother and getting her to donate everything she had to the church. Imagine multiple people in your family including your father dying, your mother donating everything she had to a church due to getting scammed, your brother dying due to being poor, AND dying blinded due to a disease, you literally trying to commit suicide to get the life insurance, and then at age 35 to 40ish you having nothing.

And this extends to the US too. Why does"the Family" have so much influence in US politics? Because they too are a cult that has manipulated people like the My Pillow guy(Mike Lindell), they see the US as being less religious like in the left and liberal wing of US politics, and that is a total threat to their power. So they fund people like Trump, Cruz, and the republican party.

Killing people usually creates more problems than it solves, but in this case, the Japanese public actually listens to the guy. Which brings me to my final question, why are right-wingers in power lunatics oftentimes? Why do we have more Abes, Trumps, Putins, Erdogens, and Orbans vs Eisenhowers, and HW Bushs.

Ah yes. My child told me that I never did anything fun with here despite taking her to the pool yesterday and to a park for 3 hours today. Her reply was about as truthful as the one above

Yes, I know. You are too busy worrying about 'being wrong' or whatever. I know this is hard because of your Catholic training and what I am going to say is going to be so unnatural to you - but you need to understand... it's okay to be wrong. Figuring out whether your wrong or not is just a diversion
This isn't a response to what I said. You're holding an argument with an imaginary person.
To believe that reproduction has intrinsic value is to believe that said value is a fixed and determined attribute that is necessary (essential) to reproduction.
You're just running away to solipsism at this point. Which would be a tactic I guess if you were defending you own positions. But a different user is specifically accusing me of saying reproduction is an essential part of being human, and you're just getting off track. Which you know I'm generally down for, but this is now a meaningless argument about somebody else's claim that they aren't even going to defend.

Launch an attack other than an impotent "Nuh uh!" and I may have to defend my position.

I'm not on the attack here. You are attacking a position that I didn't actually take. Why would I defend that position?

That doesn't happen. According to the twitter thread, the article this came from has him saying he's never heard of conservatives disowning their families.
I peeked at the article. According to him conservatives are all the victims of the mean college educated libs who just hate everyone because reasons. It was pretty vomit inducing. Much like every PragerU "PSA" I've had the unfortunate misfortune to see on Youtube.

On the bright side, I learned how to keep those particular ads from showing up real quick.

Well, I would agree somewhat. There are a bunch of rich people who are leading both sides by the nose. Eg. Trump, Musk, Gates and Jobs. They also generally place all the blame on poor people so they can get away with what they want. Like, some lefties (generally libs) still think Gates is a good guy

I never understood how some people just love rich people and never see their negative traits.

Edit: I forgot to add that thinking there is one 'battle' going on is really starting to get silly. There is a war currently going on in The Ukraine. This directly effects the war in Yemen

Steve Jobs has been dead for over a decade. Unless you’re suggesting he’s been secretly resurrected thanks to a compact with a dark power and is doing some serious puppet master shit.

Or is there another hyper rich guy or girl with the surname Jobs that I’m unaware of?
