No “whoosh”

You are assuming that their enemies are any less primitive.

I am not arguing over this shit because the lines have been drawn and things are what they are. People do not change their minds based on facts or history but rather what they believe to be true.

Same with me. But I try REALLY hard to not fall for propaganda.

it’s not easy. but I try.

@Typo-MAGAshiv

This is where I part ways with most Conservatives and Republicans.

The Balfour declaration got things started. Land has been taken in this way since forever.

But the Israeli settlers are just too much.

Once people see the evil vile shit that has been done to those primitive people in Palestine, it becomes easy to see why they can so easily be radicalized.

Hell, women get radicalized in the US because of a “patriarchy” that doesn't’ even exist anymore. Same with Blacks, gays, and trans folks.

Palestinians have it infinitely worse. But everyone thinks it is justified.

And here we are...

I’ll leave it there.

@deeplydisturbed

The United States is NOT stolen land.

Agreed, because there's no such thing.

At least not in the same way Israel was stolen.

No it wasn't, for the same reason no one else was.

@Typo-MAGAshiv

Sure.

AND - my point stands.

The United States is NOT stolen land.

At least not in the same way Israel was stolen.

@deeplydisturbed

"but but but all those nations the US purchased land from stole the land from the natives!"

I'm on your side, but this isn't the refutation you think.

Our forefathers conquered the land, just like almost everywhere on this planet has been conquered and repopulated by various peoples.

Various Germanic tribes all across Europe. Arabs across the Middle East and North Africa. The Aryans in the Indian Subcontinent. The Mongols and Chinese across Asia. Etc etc etc etc. Oh yeah, and the Native Americans to each other before our forefathers conquered all of them.

All this crap about “stolen land” is patently false:

The original 13 colonies were taken away from England - the original colonizers. The founding fathers forcibly took the land, labor and capital away from the king and literally gave it to the people. So, NOT stolen (at least by us)

Also - per this table, 71% (almost everything other than the original 13 colonies) was purchased, annexed voluntarily, or negotiated as a part of a deal with the original colonizers.

Next time you hear this shit, shut it down.

@deeplydisturbed if the term redpill would be a banknote or currency, since there is no regulatory body, it was already printed at home, copied and inflated.

Truth can also be inflated this way, or rather is inflated.

@deeplydisturbed remember me when you get rich

I need about tree-fiddy

Is anyone here familiar with either the Black and Scholes option pricing formula, or Nassim Taleb’s investment strategist found in his book “The Black Swan”?

Both would be ideal.

I’d like to talk offline.
