luckily for you nobody actually finds that attractive despite the effort from fashion and personal care companies, and online dating data proves it. Being dramatically overweight or obese as a woman is a KILLER, and they get less action than a 5'6 man

Conservative hypocrisy.

@TheUnderdog
Because you subscribe to abstract ideas about civics that have no actual bearing on real life. 

More specifically, look at the example from the left about supposed "pro-life hypocrisy". They cite conservative support for the death penalty and opposition to welfare to say "hey look, how can you be 'pro-life' when you when X,Y, and Z."

But what they fail to understand is that "pro-life" is nothing but an abstract marker to indicate objective opposition to abortion. It is never meant to mean anymore and it doesn't apply to anything else. But because the left perceives this opposition to abortion as some abstract cause for "life", then they can call hypocrisy.

The problem is that concrete principles do not subscribe with abstract ones like "hypocrisy". 

So you like to point out "hypocrisy" when you fail to recognize that some things are just black and white. Concrete right-wing principals has it's support and opposition for certain issues and no amount of supposed "hyprocrisy" will change that. At the end of the day, violence for my side is good, violence for the other side is bad. Us cheating is good, them cheating is bad. The world is biased and mean, and no one has time for this endless back and forth about "muh hypocrisy" and muh "both sides are bad because blah blah blah"

Enter the real world, "hyprocisy" and other abstract ideas doesn't mean shit. Power, objective principles, and real action does.

@Danielle
It's a culture war for sure. And yeah, I am tired of the constant bullshit from "country" America. They still think we have freedom, or that this country is the greatest in the world when it is in fact, a shithole. Boomers can construct the worst economic situation in the world and these people would go "just work harder" or some other cope. Plus, a lot of them will get divorced and then die on opioids. It's a shame really. But don't think that urban American gets off any easier because they also have a smug attitude about the rural folk.

Plus, the cities have always been more liberal. Hell, cities are the BIRTHPLACE of liberalism via coffee shops that spread enlightenment ideas. The socialist commune was established in PARIS after all, not Mittelbergheim.

In the end, I'll take Spengler's view-when cities stop being commercial units and instead start being sprawling conglomerates then that is when things get bad. I will probably still prefer country living when I am older though, kinda tired and bored of suburbia. I am lucky to live in New England where the rural areas get nice in the fall and they are still quint, romantic new england colonial towns.

'm unsure why you think you can deal with absolutes with it like you may be able to do with nose structure, bone density, or muscle composition between different races/ethnic groups. 
Because racial/ethnic groups are absolute. They are defining characteristics for each ethnic/racial group. It's not like I am using mental gymnastic here.

1.The nubians came much after the original Egyptians, so they piggy-backed off of non-black innovation. They pulled a South Africa where blacks piggy-backed off of white innovation.

2.The Mali Empire was in direct contact with the outside world and so that is how they developed. Again sub-Saharan advanced societies never develop on their own, instead it took a massive volume of trade for the Mali Empire to grow. That and Ethiopia are the two only exceptions in ALL of sub-Saharan history.

3.That is preposterous. Your source is a literal "we wuz kangs" blog that tries to claim that minoan greece and ancient china was a black civilization. LMAO

Sowell argues the reason black people cause more crime is due to age discrepancies (which came up in my debate, and there is still a discrepancy even when we factor in age).
Any reader of Sowell(which includes me) would know that he blames the crime on gang culture.

No, Venezuelans do not "pass" as white. That is not a thing, you are either white or you are not.

If you combine the population that would pass for "white" in the united states, you get 95.2%

If geography determines genes than it makes sense why Europeans are the way they are. They are generally more individualistic because they had to survive the brutal ice age, and they dominated geopolitics because they lived through harsh conditions. Blacks never had to invent or develop a great civilization because if they wanted to survive, they just hunted, and really couldn't grow much food. Jews didn't have a homeland until '48 because their ancestry is of Cain and Esau, which the Bible described them as nomads. Plus, most jews are descended from khazaria, a nomad kingdom.

So yeah, Ireland has a knack for poetry because they were isolated and became spiritual in peace(I theorize that), and also they love alcohol

@TWS1405
You are exactly correct. The simple reason is that liberals do not believe in collective differences between people. Some groups are more violent, some are faster, some are smarter, etc. For example, whites will dominate in strongmen competitions, but will never see the light of day in long-distance running. East Asians dominate in math, Germans are good at Physics, Northern + Eastern Europeans are good with computers and video games, Ireland produces poets, and Britain produces great novelists and inventors. (America produces nothing, sadly) Everybody naturally knows this, and can recognize these differences between people. But, liberals only look at people through an individualist lens(blank slate). They think everyone is truly unique and awesome. Nope, you are not special, and your life is largely determined by your genes. It's why poverty doesn't have an effect on black violence. The richest blacks commit more crime than the poorest whites.

@Wylted
National Vanguard is completely wrong here. The Bible is explicitly clear that Christ WAS accepted by everyone in Palestine...except the Jews. So why would Jews invent a religion that is outright anti-Semitic in it's attitude. (synagogue of satan).

Also, Christianity respected Roman rule, and it didn't try to undermine it unlike the jews. You should read up on Paul's letters.

If the jews did invent Christianity, then surely Christians would have been more favorable to them, but only protestants have in the last 500 years.

Plus, if this was true than the goal utterly failed as Roman rule would continue in the province for quite some times, and the jews would get eternally bodied in 70 AD.

Rome and America
If you study Rome you can quickly realize that the parallels to America are uncanny. 

Rome was founded semi-mythically with grand stories. Now, America doesn't have founding myths per se, but it's grand stories of exploration into the new world is more than enough to grant itself a central founding ethos, one that establishes the country as a "shining city on a hill" created on the chosen land by the chosen people. Which is exactly what the puritans believed. Even today, Christian sects that originated in America continue to say that the country is "God's country", thinking that it is ordained for a special mission. Rome also became a hotbed of expelled religious groups, criminals, and others. America also experienced the same phenomenon.

And then, Rome overthrew their monarchy. The Senate was established, and the patrician elite ascended to power. Obviously, America did the same, and even the founding fathers and English Whigs recognize this connection. The OG Brutus who was mostly involved in the overthrow became a hero in English and American circles that were in favor of the '76 revolution. Publius, another aristocrat involved in the Roman revolution was invoked by the founding fathers and used as a pen name by the Federalists.

But of course, the republic of Rome didn't last. It expanded it's territory, but became hopelessly divided. The patricians had to compromise over and over again with the plebeians, but over time a two-sided divide became clear: The Optimates, which held the senate in high regard, and the Populares, which represented the non-traditional aristocracy class-notably the military and the new rich.

However, it is important to note that the populares were never a coordinated group unlike the optimate oligarchy. They simply relied on other means of political power than the senate. But it is clear that they were two distinct populare groups: reformers and reactionaries. Reformers include figures like Vicellinus, Cassius, and the Graccchi brothers. All 4 were executed, and the Optimate supremacy stayed. 

On the other hand, reactionaries rejected Optimate power and regarded it as corrupted and morally evil. They focused on the influence of the army and the religion. The most well-known and by far successful of these reactionaries were Augustus. He destroyed the traditional Optimate power, curbed the senate, and established the empire. But, he did it under a veil of reactionary patriotism (He was the first citizen). He promoted the traditional values of "chastity, monogamy, piety" that formed the basis of the roman founding centuries prior, made divorce harder, and went to war with mark Anthony on the basis that he was a foreign traitor that had an affair with his wife. If you pay attention, this seems like pretty right-wing stuff, which is the basis for my next point.

In America, we also have a government that is also hopelessly corrupt, divided, and opposed by the vast majority of Americans. There is CERTAINLY a moral absence among the population. And even the unpopular and costly wars in Spain spearheaded by the optimates are similar to the never-ending ME wars facilitated by the MIC. So, naturally America has responded in the same fashion-Reformers(leftists) have come and gone, some have been successful, but even still they aren't close to debilitating the powerful elite that continues to rule the country. It's obvious that the two-sided GOP-DEM divide is bullshit, as both sides protect their pockets above all else. But, the most interesting aspect comes from the reactionary side-the right.

Donald Trump was one of the first reactionaries we have seen-promising to return the power of America. But he isn't even close to reaching the prowess of Augustus. So, I do believe that over time the right will begin to lose faith in the current system of American government, and new tools will be available to them. The January 6th attack is one example of this-The congressional building used to be immortalized in the ethos of America-and yet all it took was one glaring stolen election for the right to completely let go of these preconceived notions. The police was also immortalized in American society and especially conservative circles, but they FINALLY realized that the police will be the ones who take the guns(as well as the shitshow in Ulvade) to recognize that the police are not a respectable institution. I believe that more and more dominoes will fall, and that previously untouchable facets of American culture will begin to be rejected in favor of archaeon reactionary beliefs. Augustus was great as a statesman, but he was also ruthless, cunning, and bloody-best exemplified in his conquest of Egypt that drove MA and Cleopatra to suicide. He didn't romanticize his role, he got the job fucking done. He was also unapologetically reactionary and socially conservative. He defiled anyone who didn't have children, and made divorce harder. He also held the religion in high regard, and became one of the most central figures in it.(son of apollo) This is something that we haven't found yet in the right-someone who doesn't shift the overton window to please the left, nor have we found someone who recognized the central issues that America is facing socially: porn, suicide, delayed marriages, fewer children, worsening economic situation, etc.

That is my historical analysis of it anyway. And there are PLENTLY of more examples of this throughout history. The whole notion of a "strongman ruler destroys a oligarchical elite" is found in every nation's history, well except in America's. But with the current issues plaguing the nation, I believe that the motif is coming sooner than later.

To summarize the history of the two nations:

Courageous explorers establish a small country----------------> Revolution occurs drastically changing the government of the country-------------> cultural exhaustion and an unpopular elite takes a toll on the nation, and a populist reactionary strongman takes power.

Feel free to comment, and if you see an inconsistency in my description of roman history-please say it

Leviticus 19:34 endorses immigration and open borders (treating the foreign like the native born).
hospitality

I’m a libertarian leaning independent.  On this issue, people don’t want to be cheated on, so there needs to be a penalty.  Not death though.  Do you support executing people for adultery like what the Bible calls for?
But I thought libertarians believe you can do whatever you want.

It subsidizes the living expenses of the poor.
right. Welfare is liberating the individual from economic constraints and hierarchy. So liberalism

Maybe, but to liberate is not to force people to get vaccinated.
that's not how it works in liberalism's mind. It's full liberation or not. No choich

Because politics is based off of values (or it should be; it seems to be based around parties nowadays)

I think adultery should be illegal.  But not punishable by death; the Bible punished adultery with death.

Ok Libertarian

Increased taxes on the rich forces them to be charitable.
Not necessary. Increased taxes funnels it into the government, who knows what it does. CHRISTIAN MORALS forces the rich to contribute

Does that mean they want to liberate humans from the vaccine mandate constraint?  Or are they too partisan hackish to do that.
To liberate humans is to give them vaccines, its complicated but I can explain
