Question for Trump Supporters

@IwantRooseveltagain
Black people are right to use political violence because blacks are really being denied their civil rights. But MAGA Morons using political violence to overturn a fair election based on Trump led lies is wrong.

Gatekeeping political violence now?? Lol. 

How the fuck are blacks are denied civil rights?? They catch every break and get money thrown at their communities and they still fail school and fail to create coherent families. N

@Double_R
This is your tactics of fascism being used by the political left example? An example of one comedian who went way too far with a joke, caught severe public backlash from every corner of our society, got fired from CNN, got her comedy tour cancelled, faced federal investigations and has had to apologize vehemently for all of it? Some violent political movement that left is.
It represents, as you put it, a subtle desentisization into political violence. The left cemented themselves as the catalysts of American political violence with the BLM riots anyway.

Ok, now show me the prominent left wing figures who joked about it, and the crowd of supporters who laughed along with them.

"At the time of the bombing, the miners' strike was underway. Morrissey, frontman of the English alternative rock band the Smiths, joked shortly after: "The only sorrow of the Brighton bombing is that Thatcher escaped unscathed."[17] David Bret wrote in the book Morrissey: Scandal & Passion that "The tabloids were full of such remarks; jokes about the tragedy were cracked on radio and television programmes. A working-men's club in South Yorkshire seriously considered a whip-round[18] "to pay for the bomber to have another go".[19] In 1986, English punk band the Angelic Upstarts celebrated[20] the IRA's assassination attempt with their single "Brighton Bomb". They released an album of the same name in 1987"

Meanwhile you freak out when some deranged lunatic attacked a representatives husband and Trump commented on the fact that he didn't succeed.

I asked how disrespecting your political opposition aids in getting things accomplished for the people you represent, not for your opinion on whether you think others should be disrespected.
Disrespect can crush your opponent, asking your job easier. Don't overcomplicate things.

Provide one example

Was she  killed by a member of the political opposition for political reasons?
Nearly, yes

Do you think the job of a politician is to get things accomplished for the good of the people they represent, or do you have done other idea of what they should set out to accomplish?

If it's the latter, please explain how disrespect aids in that goal.

If it's the former, please explain what we're missing.
Disrespect aids in that goal because those who dont benefit the people should be disrespected

A) Do you think it's appropriate to joke about your political opponents being physically attacked by one of your supporters?
Yes

B) Do you acknowledge that this is a tactic used by nearly every fascist throughout history?
Yes as well as a tactic used by the so called "defenders of democracy"

Lighten up dude. Loads of people make fun of magaret thatchers death day. I mean I am sure as hell glad that Feinstein died.  Politics doesn't need to respectful and I am sick and tired of hearing from people that it does. Politics is nasty for a reason.

For Physics Majors, is going to work after graduation better than going to grad school for research?
-->
@Intelligence_06
It depends on your goals and what you like about physics.

I was considering being a theoretical physicist, I never liked labs or engineering, but decided on CS and it's theory instead because it's a tad bit easier for me and the "applications" of it is abstract in nature as well. I could definitely go onto grad school for it but I am not quite sure I want to yet. 

Take some college physics courses first and see the degree that it beats you up. If you are smart enough to go to grad school for it and then for a PHD than that is always an option. There is no point in getting a masters in physics after your bachelors and stopping since it has no bearing on career outlooks. Just 2 more years and more debt. Otherwise for career prospects, go into engineering. Either that or invent something.

Alexander Hamilton saw Trump coming
American politics cannot conceive of principal ideas period. Hamilton and Jefferson had two completely different visions of the future of America that showed through every single disagreement they had. Now its all negotiation and interest groups and the parties have minimal differences.

"We dont need men. Men suck" - Why are women allowed to promote genocide?
Feminism's only purpose is to completely destroy masculine expressions of creativity. 

The feminists of the 19th century fought against saloons, which were centers of male comradeship. In it's place we have bars where women go and have fun and get drunk and leave with the anticipation of getting fucked. Men now compete for women in passive aggressive games instead of no-strings-attached chatter. And the worst part is that is just one example. Everything has been gutted out for the entertainment of women.

Because business and finance is a club. An ugly, disgusting club. But a club nonetheless. It is intentionally set up this way to stop average americans from learning the game.

Is Stoicism the center of Atheism and Religion?

@Critical-Tim
Stoicism is not a faith community, it is a branch of philosophy that is applied to everyday life

@Critical-Tim
 so while stoicism is not a logical religion it is a logical set of beliefs with a core value, quite similar to a religion.
Consider differentiating dogma from religion itself.

@Critical-Tim
the question is whether Stoicism seeks to find Divinity in what is logical.
And that is fundamentally different from every major religion. That could be a theme in atheism.

Religion is a very emotional experience, the indifference of stoicism towards pain won't fly
