Well, This is News, I Guess

[tinselwolverine]

oligarchy is the word I should have used.

See my post after the post of yours I?m quoting.

 

[Spartanmack]

Every society ever has been - including and especially the commies.

Aristocracy - rule by the best.

Oligarchy - rule by the few.

Wait, what?

What the fuck does that mean?

And who decides the difference?

wouldn't rule by the best be a meritocracy? is "best" maybe tongue in cheek?

How do you like this headline?

?Wealthy pro-choice zealot California oligarchs establishing fund for Disney adventure/abortion tours??

Maybe.

I was just a little kid when Aristotle was writing his timeless treatise ?Politics? and I?ll admit, a lot of what he might have been meant as humor went straight over my head.

Here might be a good one:

?Come to California! Make abortion fun again!?

I think California should use the little sketch I wrote in #69 and start running radio/TV ads in trigger law states.

maybe. a lot of intense protest videos coming out of CA on twitter right now.



Like the George Floyd thing... whole country is just ready to go up in flames like tinder. Not the sex/dating app, but the actual analogy to fuel for a fire. The media narrative of how things are okay, except prices are just a little out of wack & keep going up somehow (but definitely NOT due to rampant M&A giving a handful of companies market power over everything we need) is WAAAAY off.

M&A has been around a while.

How are things different now?

How are

So, now, some private companies in California are talking about financing trips for qualified prospective patients to California to have abortions.

All the prospective patient would have to do would be to sit for a pleasant, enjoyable and entertaining 90 minute presentation/demonstration on the benefits of vacation ownership.

LOL, ok that made me laugh. I been through a couple of those and yeah I avoid those at all cost now. pissed the guy off the last time but oh well so sorry so sad.

Yeah but I have learned something since I made the post.

If the prospect chooses to become involved in the joys of vacation ownership, they?re sent home with an abortion.

If they choose not to, they sent out with a wire hanger.

saw a comment that Native Americans should open abortion clinics on their land, like they do with casinos. Good idea, no?

Hmmmmm?.I think, in general, culturally native Americans ain?t too keen on abortion.

That?s the impression that I get.

EDIT: My bad.

I forgot about Elizabeth Warren.

She loves abortion.

She probably wishes she could perform every abortion in the country.

But I'm not sure they like lots of white people coming on their land and gambling either; they do it to make money.

And they'll be able to keep abortion protestors from harassing the poor women that need to go to clinics like that, which is good. Harassing poor women as they struggle with a momentous decision like that is a cowardly thing to do.

Peaceful protest is a sacred right in America. That?s cowardly but making the ?momentous decision? (that no one should even have the right to make) to end the life an innocent and defenseless human because of money (or for any other reason) is super brave. The real horror is that someone might plead with them to not go through with it or maybe even yell at them as they walk into the clinic.

I don?t know.

From what I?ve come to understand, I don?t think native Americans would view it as equivalent.

A number of Californians are quite up in arms about all this, about something that is really not going to have an affect on anyone in California.

Except to maybe bring in more travel and tourism revenue.

Which has been down for the last couple of years or so, for some reason.

quit pretending you care about innocent and defenseless human beings, no one's buying it.

sorry, that's my bad. I've been telling everyone CA is overrated and kinda sucks.

Well, I know you have ties to California, and you definitely have your right to express your opinion.

California is definitely overrated and more than kind of sucks.


I would say, however, that the people in Texas to whom you tell California is overrated and, sucks, that?s kind of preaching to the choir.

Everybody in Texas hates California. I know ? I used to live between Texas and California.

Black on black violent crime is rampant here ? everybody just saw an example of it on worldwide television of the Academy Awards within the last month.

I remember the day I first rolled into California ? it was either the first or second day of February, 1985. Within the last two weeks, the two time former Republican governor of California, Ronald Reagan, had just been sworn into his second term as president of the United States.

Every time I think of that day now, I think of you, because I rolled into California with my best buddy, that I grew up with, and you remind me of him a lot. Needless to say, he and I don?t agree on everything, but we stayed best buddies nevertheless.

Needless to say, a whole lot of shit has changed in California since that day.

The inmates have been running the asylum here in California. Rather than leave, I think I?ll stay here, and fight to take the asylum back from the inmates, because at the end of the day, and also at the beginning of the day, despite its problems?my adopted home state of California, sucky and overrated, as it may be?is still Califucking fabulous.

that's all I care about in this debate, good to see you admit you don?t care about innocent and defenseless human beings though. Of course you need to pretend that for me it's about controlling women's bodies and preserving the patriarchy or some other stupid nonsense to avoid defending your amoral position. Don't forget, you're the guy that thinks America, the greatest country in the history of civilization is a shithole in just about every way except that we brutally murder 1mm unborn babies every year - that to you is one of our saving graces. Killing babies - one of the few great things we do as a country. Cash bail - we are a racist shithole country! You're sick and twisted, you have no moral standing in any argument, particularly this one.

As a generally recognized Right leaning person, I have come to see the light.

Let us pause for a moment and review the Defund the Police narrative I was once so opposed to.

The result has been more crime, especially murder, in inner cities. Many warned this would happen but it was pushed through by Liberals nonetheless. In time I have come to the realization DTP was wrong, but not in the way one might think. I am now 100% in favor of completely removing every single cop from the inner cities. Why? Because removing all police will increase the crimes, including murder... especially when there will be no laws preventing murders.

So we then will have Libs killing Libs, since any true Conservative has already left the inner cities. I see this as a win. Let the Libs kill the Libs. It saves the Cons the trouble.

In regards to abortion, Liberals - generally speaking - raise their children to be Liberals. Who are having abortions? Usually it is Liberals. So here we again have Libs killing mostly Libs. I am perfectly OK with that too.

If one recognizes that Libs are culling their own herd with these actions, one learns to be more at peace with it, and in fact I now support these actions increasing at exponential rates. Remove all police from inner cities and allow abortions to remain. One might say I am thereby supporting genocide, but I am actually supporting these individuals to do their own thing... which is what Cons argued for throughout Covid. So, if Libs want to go about killing each other, I do not think Cons should get in the way of their crusade.
