@firmware_pimp Combine that with the fact he was saying he can’t breathe even when in his car and the fact that these 5 police officers do not only have to control the guy but are under acute danger because of the crowd forming. I’m still certain that if the crowd wouldn’t have formed or if it would have behaved that the criminal would be alive. The only reason he was on the ground for 12 mins was because the police officers were in perceived danger from a hostile crowd. It’s a disgrace what they did to chauvin and it is a disgrace that no higher court has the righteousness to take up the case.

@Typo-MAGAshiv I agree on a personal level but that’s not how a large chunk of the population sees it unconsciously. They are looking for thought leaders. They are looking for the guy they can abduct responsibility to and then just do whatever he thinks is right. So even though I do not need that, we as a whole need that as the instinct of the masses will win over the work of thinking of individuals. That’s why it would be good to choose these people wisely. Gustave Le Bon wrote a whole book on how mass psychology trumps individual virtue, we should not forget that.

@TwoInchesOfShaft

I would prefer a Jordan Peterson

I wouldn't. He has a lot of admirable qualities, and he has done a lot of good in the world, but at the end of the day he's a pill-headed, gynocentric bloopie.

Really, I don't look at any of these people as "thought leaders" so much as just "food for thought".

@TwoInchesOfShaft

Is anyone of the right wingers in here fond of Tucker Carlson

Yes. I'm not a fanboy, but I appreciate most of his work.

or Candace Owens

No.

Some of her work is decent, but I still suspect her "conversion" to conservatism is fake. Photogenic liberal black chick? Disappears in the crowd. Photogenic conservative black chick? Watch the money roll in as so many cucksevatives want to prove how not-racist they are, not realizing that caring that much about "muh diversity" undermines that.

or the like?

No one else leaps to mind whom I like at the moment.

@SpermBasedLifestyle I’ve listened to A LOT of them and the first few years I had the opinion you have, but listen to them long enough and you’ll see the image crack. Don’t look to them for guidance, you’ll run in circles.

@SpermBasedLifestyle This reaction is the one I feared would become the norm for people finding this site. We have strayed from the path and content that was layed out by the great posters of the past. The guy here is not wrong. The value of TRP does not lie in TRP.red, there’s little value here besides the fact that you can speak freely.

Is anyone of the right wingers in here fond of Tucker Carlson or Candace Owens or the like? I find myself annoyed when listening to these people because they don’t seem to have any guiding principles for their stances. Most of the time you can break down their stances into “I would like to be the world to be like this now”. Over the years they also contradicted themselves regularly. I know why left wingers hate them the way the right hates the MSNBC hosts. They are plagued by the same issues. For all of these people I can see them being on the complete opposite end of the argument of their stances today in a few years.

There’s a few people that talk politics I appreciate, it’s those that are consistent in their values and guiding principles.

@Typo-MAGAshiv The part everyone could have predicted about the graph is that women score lower in happiness than men. This is a universal truth. I bet even the men in WW2 were happier than the women at home. The joke with the woman saying “Yeah men had it tough in war, but how about the women? They lost their men!” is not a joke at all to them, it’s what many women think is an intelligent train of thought.
