I could see the argument against IVF if there was something unnatural or similar to the gene editing issue, but, at its heart, it's a natural progress just done in a very refined way.


You would be a lot easier to have a reasonable debate if you weren’t so intentionally difficult with your over the top and absurd “technicalities” that you think are some amazing “gotcha”

IVF is not a natural process. It’s done in a lab with tubes and instruments. It involves the man going into an exam room to masturbate into a cup, and then handing it to a nurse in the other room. It’s not natural as in it doesn’t happen in nature, while yes it happens in the “natural world” it’s not what people mean when they say “natural”, so stop with your retarded semantics.

I’m pretty sure sex isn’t going anywhere.


Every new generation’s sex drive and libido is going down

Women on birth control and men addicted to porn are big drivers of this
I really just think most people have not put a lot of deep thought into this. Even on the right, most people just view IVF as a way to help infertile couples have a baby.

But beyond the bioethical debate surrounding the traditional use of IVF (I am against it for a number of reasons that have been laid out previously). The slippery slope to where this leads is coming really fast.

Anecdotally, someone I know, a woman who focused on her career into her early 40s. Is not too attractive anymore and can’t find a man now that she would seem worthy. She had previously froze her eggs, and has turned to IVF and surrogacy to create or her own custom baby, because she “always wanted to be a mom, but wanted to do it on her own time”. She created a whole batch of embryos, but only chose one and decided she won’t use the others and will have them destroyed.

She also picked her sperm donor out of a catalog, custom creating her child as if she was ordering a new appliance

How is this child going to have a normal life, growing up intentionally without his/her father?
To start, I ended up voting for Massie yesterday. I had waffled back and forth, the decision could have been a lot easier if they picked someone that seemed a little less NeoConish than Gallrein, but I probably could have gone either way. I had family and friends that went separated ways as well.

I will say that Massie losing was clearly his own doing. No one worked harder to get him out of office than Thomas Massie. He simply stopped trying to do his job and represent his constituents and work within the framework of our political system to push his ideas and agendas forward. He chose to go on a self-destructive mission, that often times looked to be driven more by personal qualms than any sort of principles.

The optics just simply were not there for him. It appeared he was doing everything in his power to make Trump ineffective, which was not going to fly in a district that overwhelmingly voted for Trump to get his agenda pushed.

This goes back to the classic problem with libertarianism. It’s great at offering critiques of existing policies. But absolutely terrible at coming up with concrete action plans “that will actually work in reality” on how to get their agenda passed.

I argued with a friend last night about the situation. Said friend is totally ate up about the debt clock and how we have to roll it back, etc etc… which I don’t disagree with any of his wishes and goals. However I had to continue to remind him that it is not achievable with the level of immigration and makeup of our demographics and electorate. So until we go back to an electorate that resembles early America, we have to work within the confines of massive debt. There is no other option presently available.
Democracy is such a gay and stupid system

This is a perfect example of the 51% voting to rule over the 49%
To the point I have all but checked out, and given up on politics. I will still vote and voice my opinion as needed, but that’s about it.

I hate being doom and gloom but the Republicans have been an absolute clown show, and appear to be even worse than I suspected. Trump 2.0, especially post Charlie, has been a huge disappointment. It’s simply not what people voted for. I don’t care about all this foreign policy bullshite while all the domestic concerns continue to get turned up to 11. We are on the verge of losing our country to hordes of 3rd worlders and they can’t figure out how to stop it.

Most of the conservative podcast bros are more concerned about their little personal infighting than what it takes to actually save our country. I could not give a frick less about anyone’s personal beef with someone else, and that goes for Trump, Tucker, MTG, whoever. Deal with your personal issues and beefs off to the side, the political field is for moving forward good policy that helps our country, period and end of story.

Whenever the next Democrat gets in. The flood gates will be opened, we will see 50 million plus immigrants in a 4 year span. It’s absolutely coming

Every single tax funded penny should be removed from CC across the board

CC is a disgraceful organization, they do good work at local levels that I have been involved with, but the work their immigration arm has done is disgusting.

Republicans = Tories

The only hope is to infiltrate the party the same way they infiltrated it. There is no other option, but most (95%+) of the elected Republicans across all levels of politics are nothing more than traitorous, corrupt democrats in GOP skin suits

There was potential with the Trump movement, but I think that star has faded unfortunately DJT is now 80 years old and has been entrenched in the swamp now that he has been a politician for over a decade.

You seem to think that Trump truly cares if Newsom wins, provided Newsom runs.


Are you suggesting that Trump doesn’t want to leave a legacy? And wants to spend his final days having him and his family probed by the FBI?

If not for any other reason than his own self interests, Trump should want mid term success as well as in 2028.

What does success look like?

If Republicans lose in 26 as is being predicted.

And Trumps last 2 years as a lame duck are spent fighting off impeachments and daily investigations, leading to a Newsome presidency in 28, where day one every EO is struck down.

Will there be any long term wins we can point back to?

Winning looks like winning. We have to win, the traitorous Republicans have to win, Trump/Vance have to win. You have to retain and grow power, even if we have to use the GOP as a skin suit to push the America First agenda. It’s not happening through the Democrat Party, and there is no 3rd option.

Accelerationism and all these nihilistic burn it all down freaks like the childless Fuentes don’t care what this country looks like in 10 or 15 years. We have to win, and we have to get better judges.


National Anthems

Posted by burger bearcat on 4/6/26 at 7:44 pm
Will we ever see a normal straight white guy or white girl sing the national anthem at a major American sports championship game again?
Trump got swept up in the moment and caved to the feminists. But because of that it’s going to cost us this country. The birth right citizenship is quite literally the decision of whether America is a country and Americans are a people. ACB and her feels will not decide in our favor

Poor police work. This. They should have subdued him and did a pat down and not play jovial nice guys just because he came back from the brink of death.


Thank all the George Floyd bullshite for this.

Now the police have to treat these animals with absolute kid gloves, and talk to them like toddlers.


Thank all your pencil neck COC Republican governors and senators with their lame arse ribbon cutting and golden shovel ceremonies bragging about how they are “creating jobs” for their constituents. In reality they are jobs going to the foreigners they are importing.

Let’s table this

Ending a statement with the word “Right”

Rand has faults but was the tip of the spear in exposing fauci's crimes and getting RFKjr confirmed.


As a Kentuckian, Rand is just your typical libertarian. Likes to talk about stuff but never has a pragmatic solution to fixing anything. What did Rand’s exposure of Fauci get us ? Is Fauci wearing orange in leg shackles? Or is sitting in a comfy mansion somewhere?
Trumps team needs to figure out how to get a few wins by mid-summer

Find an off ramp with these wars or conflicts

(Iran/Ukraine/Cuba/Venezuala/Israel) that make it seem the missions were successful

I never expected the Save Act to make it thru. But get creative to somehow do something thru executive action or work a deal in with a spending bill. Do something, anything.

Good old
Fashioned bribery. I know this isn’t popular with the libertarians, but I would find some way to cut checks to middle class people, possibly from Tariff fees or DOGE savings

Get fuel and grocery prices fixed. Economy as always will be the main driver.

In general, find away to make things not seem so chaotic to comfort normie norms and spin class moms (no pics)

And also some how suppress or ramp down the deranged left for a bit, so they are less motivated

All that being said, we should expect and prepare for the Dems to take back the House at minimum. This is simply the way politics go. The Senate map is still favorable, but there is an outside chance we lose that too.

As I get older, I am much more interested in being coalition guy and not one of these over reactionary burn it all down nihilist types, that has become so common on the right. My personal politics are very far to the right of anyone in the Republican Party, but I still recognize the Republican Party as the only possible bulwark against the absolute demonic manifestation that is the Democrat Party.

You just answered your own question

The degenerate culture that started in the 60s/70s led to our degenerate politics.

Let’s face it the Iran situation has a big blowup in his face scenario written all over it should this drag out.


It’s already blown up. The mid terms were going to be hard enough, now that the right is completely fractured, it’s going to make it that much worse.

I get the feeling that Trump just wants to “do things” and gets fed up with being hamstrung by the bureaucratic and judicial red tape with his domestic policy, and decides to go bomb shite instead because there is no one in his way to do that.

I just wish he could use this foreign policy stuff as a bargaining chip to get something like the Save Act pushed thru. He is constantly capitulating to the MIC/Neocons and COC and they never throw us a bone back.
Not because it doesn’t matter, and that that it ultimately doesn’t affect domestic issues.

It’s just that we have so many domestic issues that seem to be getting ignored. It’s amazing how all the ICE news up and disappeared? Are we getting the illegals out or not.

I have never spent much time thinking much about Iran and whether or not we should go to war with them.

However I have thought a lot about immigration, crime, cultural/social issues like feminism and race politics, etc.
Now you can’t even change a light bulb without having to download an app and connect the bulb to WiFi and Bluetooth.
I bought a pack of bulbs, not realizing they were “smart bulbs”. It was for an investment property I’m working on so I couldn’t even get the stupid thing to turn on if I wasn’t connected to WiFi and Bluetooth.

Does everything we do or touch have to be plugged into the cloud at all times?

Was getting off a flight recently, and was towards the back of the plane. I observed that practically every person was glued to their phone. Even a group of women who were all together coming back from a trip, were all glued to their screen. You’d think people would be focused on trying to get their belongings and getting off the plane, but they were getting they were more concerned about getting their dopamine fix after being cut off for a few hours.
