  • I have felt there needed to be a specific type of vote available only to the original poster and to the users individual reply.

    An up/downvote from the OP or the user I responded to I think should be differentiated from another user who isn't either.

    If the OP or commentator votes that should be noted alongside the X number of random votes. It isn't an anonymous vote, but those votes would be public acknowledgements tied to the user making the public post/comment.

  • That's kind of why I like the casino model. Local tribes put here have been buying their land back bit by bit and the casino goers gladly shovel money at them.

    I just wish we could rope corporate entities into it. Imagine if casino losses could be a corporate tax writeoff. C-suites would be stumbling onto the floor with the company cards. The overnight wealth distribution would be staggering.

  • Oh no! The respect of someone who responds to the epstein files with jealousy and defense!

  • Yes, it is a good thing. But the rat won't drown itself, so it's looking for any line to safety.

  • MTG represents the post-Epstein MAGA movement. All the fascist policy, none of the Epstein baggage. She is extremely valuable to the movement pivoting around the pedophilia.

  • I mean they sort of did. The church never wavered from 'approved list only' but the vernacular question of teachings definitely lightened up. However, that also didn't prevent or undo centuries of bloodshed and misery. It's all very 'proper channels for that' to arrive at the same conclusions anyway.

  • The basis of the issue had much to do with vernacular translations themselves. The practice of using various vernaculars overall meant different sermons, parables, lessons, etc. Fundamentally this meant churches were not considered in communion if they weren't using Latin, and especially not if they weren't using a Church approved Bible.

    So ultimately a monarch, the English king, specifically commissioning a vernacular Bible, was acting in direct defiance to the church and throwing fuel into that fire.

    I don't think the Catholic church ever 'accepted' or 'approved' that version, or would.

  • I get you, but I mean the grand alliance scheme to be including what ultimately became the Quadruple Alliance/Central Powers. The Kaiser's bellicose disposition is noteworthy but doesn't mean he wasn't strategizing around the Entente any less.

  • The thing about World War 1 is that it was inevitable in the sense the grand alliance scheme demanded total conflict. The sphere of influence approach to peace and balancing powera militarily itself provoked worldwide conflict. Most of World War 1 was a detached elite refusing to recognize reality as they sent wave after wave of people into machinegun fire.

    By the time you're going back to the root of it all you find yourself stabbing Caesar along with the rest of the time travellers.

  • Asmongold fan by typo is a cursed reality of our time.

  • The party caved on asking ICE to not wear masks.

  • Those characterizations often seem more retrospective about the weaponization of the movement. Especially with it being so extremely lopsided. As in, those who saw #MeToo as a political opportunity absolutely did. Since it wasn't an inherently political (party) movement we all got to see it shoved through that lens.

    So we Americans saw Democrats torch their own like Al Franken into resigning over a USO act while the GOP categorically defended their abusers. I am sure a similar dynamic played out across other political regimes as well.

  • Israel, Russia, Trendy Aqua, whatever. Ultimately the USA has failed to maintain its obligations to civil society, allowing those who operate the mechanisms of power and policy to be susceptible to such exploitation. Classic blunder.

  • That subject is usually just the convenient outlet for being hateful. And hate's a hell of a fuel.

    Them knowing more? Usually it's just wikipedia.

  • I mean, sure. He plausibly would've been in the Epstein files had be lived in the right era. He would've fit right in.

  • That's generally how people find out. Until then, it is both at the same time. Schroedinger's douchebag and all.

  • That's entirely possible, as it's closer to being the very public conflicts of like a dozen people. You could have blocked one user and inadvertantly insulated yourself from almost all of it.

  • Or: crimes are crimes and elected public office doesn't inherently require or extend any immunity to that.

  • It's actually kind of worse. He thinks his job is to serve the interests of an imaginary family that votes Republican and are Zionists whom he calls the 'Baileys'.

    He is the leader of the Senate Democrats.
