Why not both?
I'm sure he's calculating as a politician, but the graduate of Chadron State College is legit retarded.

re: Is Scott Galloway Controlled Opposition for the Manosphere?
Posted by David_DJS on 12/27/25 at 4:20 pm to SaveNewOrleans
Galloway is one of the figs that has convinced millennials their economic prospects were stolen from them by boomers. He's a liberal dipshit.

Inflation adjusted?
I would hope so but can't tell from the info in the report linked.

The trend since 2010 is fairly flat, but at a much lower level than in past decades. There are probably a lot of factors.
From the data you posted earlier in this thread, over the last ten years the number of violent victimizations of white people from households earning $75K or better has gone from 758K in 2015 to 1.76 million in 2024.
I'm guessing the majority of posters in these threads fit that profile (white, households $75K+), so that's probably why it "feels" like the frequency of this type of crime is off the charts. It is.

That's a good question. I imagine ideally it would look unrecognizable to what we see today. There would have to be an enormous resurgence of personal responsibility. A personal responsibility to one's self as well as one's community. There would be well-defined laws and those who cannot functioned within those rules would have to find a place where they could.
Would it be perfect? Of course not, nothing is.
I think our only chance is to move a shite ton of power out of DC and retrench it locally. It's crazy we've allowed the federal government crowd states (and reason) out where laws/policies are concerned.
As unlikely as it is, I think our best shot is a convention of states that essentially defunds the federal gov't. There's an effort out there to do this, which is generally embraced by those on the Right and fought by those on the Left.

To answer your question, I don't have the answer on how to get the population to reverse course. Perhaps gaining control of the dissemination of information would be a good place to start.
Okay, another question - what would a fix look like? Or better yet, what looks different after the deep state has been effectively addressed?
quote:
People on both sides have lost their minds - by design.
True to a degree, but it doesn't answer any questions or fix anything. Reality is there is far more "extremism" on the Left than on the Right, and it's not going to get us anywhere pretending otherwise.
But for this discussion, and in deference to you, we'll pretend there are as many Republicans that believe Trump is Jesus as there are Democrats that believe he's Hitler - let's talk deep state. What's the fix, because we both agree it's the underpinning of so much of the nonsense?
quote:
How is that going to work when the "other side" feels the exact same way about you?
Because both sides are right? :lol:
I don't think anything gets better if we pretend the Left hasn't lost its f'n mind.

I'm sorry you fell for it. Not everyone did.

but my favorite part is the evolution of the liberal narrative to include "sure, we stole the election, but...."
That's fair. But then again, we're talking about Dems, so no surprise.
quote:
Sure, it's fine to say Trump should have "done more" (like what?)
Like not going along with the hoax. By not championing for more Covid spending than Pelosi was proposing. By making sure election laws persisted, and fighting the efforts to "liberalize" them.
None of that would have been easy given the emotional state of the country, but it would have been the right thing to do and was truly his only chance.

The proper response should be education. But that's never going to happen. We're going to continue to be dumbed down and fed propaganda so we keep fighting among ourselves while remaining distracted by the newest shiny toy. That's the frustrating part
IMO - the way it'll change, if it ever does, you've got to pick a side and do your best to influence that side. And I think it makes sense to pick the least fricked in the head side, which is clearly the Right - assuming you want to see a country with free speech, 2A rights, law and order, secure borders, and something as close to capitalism as possible, as well as some control of the federal government.
Example: free speech - both sides have had their regretful moments, but the Democrats far outweigh anything coming from the Right in terms of curbing free speech.

Bro, she knows everything about election integrity. She's a Rhodes Scholar, after all.

"Sure, the Dems took advantage of some crazy situations involving Covid to steal the election, but it's Trump's fault for not preventing it
You use the word fault and I can't come up with a better term, but a question - who should have led the Republican effort to beat back the game/fraud perpetrated by the Left? Why isn't it fair to think that would have been Trump?
quote:
Wrong. It's Deep State driven. They only use the left (in this instance) to carry out the division. See, as long as people keep blaming each other for their problems, the greedy bastards causing the problems will continue to create them and get away with it.
So you're arguing that the American Left is teeming with DEI-loving "it's not good enough to not be racist, you must be anti-racist" lemmings that want equity based on race and argue white men are the bane of America's existence because the deep state wants them doing this? I can buy that, to a degree. But what should adults in the country be doing about that? You seem to be arguing they shouldn't be pushing back on the silliness for the sake of not letting permanent Washington divide us. What should the response be?
quote:
Do you think he meant we should release all violent criminals, or do you think he meant that there needs to be more to correction than simply throwing people in jail?
I think he meant a lot of violent criminals should not be imprisoned.
quote:
Either way, the bottom line is it has to be stopped. To say it only happens in Democratic places is not only short-sighted, it adds fuel to the fire of division, which is its intention in the first place.
Didn't say it only happens in Dem places. A lot of red "places" see democrat nonsense on the regular. My point is the whole shitshow is Democrat-driven, and an offshoot of the "racism everywhere, whitey needs to pay" initiative that has consumed the American Left.

I think different states operated their covid and election policies differently.
Trump, along with Dem leadership in congress, funded the whole shitshow. He actually signed legislation, while pillorying Republicans that spoke out against it, that, in addition to other retarded measures, threw a few hundred million at states to re-engineer voting for that November.
It was 100% self-inflicted.
quote:
Both.
So Republicans are advocating/advancing the serial release of violent criminals?
The mayor of Chicago just made a statement along the lines of "we can't incarcerate our way out of violence, it's racist and immoral" - and he's not alone on the Left championing this nonsense. Which Republicans make that case?

Clerical errors, technical difficulties, dem toadies and shitty judges are legitimate beefs. "Covid policies" were self-inflicted.

I'm trying to follow your argument here. Are you suggesting the serial release of violent criminals is the result of policies/actions by "both sides" or are you strictly arguing it's a problem, as in "we've got to do something about it", for both sides?
re: Foreign-Born Judge Controls Trump’s National Security Powers

Sure they have. But here is the thing. There are safeguards in the Judicial Branch, in the form of higher courts. By contrasts, there are few (if any) such safeguards within the Executive Branch. The only effective check on abuse by the Executive IS the Judiciary.
So? Safeguards against procedural error or missteps? :lol:
You're arguing a federal bench can usurp executive authority on a national security matter because of lack of procedural adherence, and if I'm not mistaken the procedure isn't codified but simply precedence. And you're arguing that's constitutional and there's no other option. That sounds kind of cultish.
