Russia already called the Donbas annexed land by Russia. The referendum was to have the locals in that region accept the land as annexed and now belong to Russia and therefore should be defended as Russian territory.
With the important condition that Western Ukraine has no say as to what the future of the Donbas will be.
Only the people of Donbas are allowed to decide this.

That doesn’t prove America didn’t once belong to them.
Exactly, nor does the lack of Ukraine speakers in the Donbass prove that Ukraine owns the Donbass. Quite the opposite.

It turned out no WMD were found in Iraq.
After America votes out the warhawks, it will be the case that there were no Ukrainian speaking people in the Donbass. Despite what the media says.

The standard for gender is either you have the capacity to produce fertilized offspring, or the capacity to fertilize offspring. Aberrations from this such as xxy chromosomes or a disappearing y chromosome are just that. Aberrations. We recognize those people as having most of the characteristics of male or female but don't quite have the full capacity.
By this reality, every person that undergoes "gender surgery" is automatically an aberration, that is to say, the doctors and therapists have CREATED aberrant bodies that can neither bear children nor fertilize.
We still classify postmenopausal people as women, but every person struggles to some degree with menopause because it is an identity change or an aberration from what is expected as a "perfect" female. The definition of female does not change despite the aberrations. Do we need "gender affirming care" for post menopausal women by surgically implanting eggs into her body? I hope this is not the road society is headed toward.

I don't know if you remember the old Robocop movies that spoofed modern society, but the scene where a brain is experimentally placed onto a robotic frame with disastrous consequences hits too close to reality for me to see it as "satire"

I am much more concerned with how he has used his position of influence in American politics to bend domestic and foreign policy to his personal financial gain. Just like Hillary Clinton did.
Exactly, if only he restricted his weird behavior to...i dunno...something like just "mean tweets", I really wouldn't care. But when he goes on 60 minutes saying USA will "do whatever it takes" in Ukraine while everyone knows full well with the recent tally of a near 8 trillion dollars of lost stock market asset value that there is no possible way we could afford the kind of large scale prolonged warfare required to take the Russian speaking Donbass away from Russian control and put it back into the hands of the Ukraine oligarchs when Russia has already committed over 300,000 troops to securing that Eastern part of Russian speaking Ukraine....
And let's not even get started on the endless WH walkbacks on Taiwan military policy.
When Biden starts setting that war policy, then you know you are in for a really wild ride....
The guy is more hawkish than Bush could ever have hoped to have been while having relatively little public support OR finances to back it up.

More directly, why society believes modern medicine can design "the right body" for teens struggling to accept an identity that makes sense is beyond barbaric in my eyes. It is the most apathetic act of neglect I can imagine...
Created:
Before the recent craze in teens killing themselves over identity issues, the standard practice for society was to make sure teens understood that they are a unique person with flaws and talents, and that being comfortable about that uniqueness means accepting that uniqueness.
Why we as a society have chosen to accept a fantasy postmodern world where that logic no longer applies is far beyond my comprehension.

Fortunately 98% of people have no interest in reversing their surgery.And the 2% that do will have to live with their decisions just like everybody else who regrets an irreversible decision in life.
I can't tell you just how dangerous it is to society to believe this.
It's an undisputed fact that over 40% of trans people will attempt suicide. To suggest that that number is only 2% but not really 2% because weirdly, they just "live with the regret" is basically turning your back on the thousands of dead trans kids.
Trans people are undeniably split into two groups, ones that can live with the lie that they can live their life in "the right body", who cheerfully comply with whatever survey is needed to continue the machine, and those like your suicide note friend that "cannot accept the lie" regardless of how many surgeries or interventions performed, and can only express that feeling through suicide notes.

Maybe read the suicide notes?I'm sorry what was your point with posting that note again?That's a great idea. Let's read it together: “I felt that I could no longer live my life as a lie,....
That's the point.

post #117 actually made me cry when I read it from a mother's testimonial.
This is not the time to be pontificating about how government therapists know best about mutilating trans people when parents are losing their children en masse.

Not to mention a lot of people who regret the mutilation treatments usually end up dead from suicide. Kinda hard to poll dead people.

Teens permanently altar their body with tattoos and all kinds of plastic surgery.
It's really hard to reverse a bottom surgery.
kids are not going to be clamoring to desperately try and join an Outgroup that is notoriously rejected, bullied and shamed.
The trans outgroup is on a pedestal. The pinnacle in the oppression Olympics.

What are you supposed to do when so many of your men died in gang wars, ditched and were irresponsible etc?
Hold mothers having children out of wedlock accountable for child neglect.

"We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and ‘villages’ that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable," it says on the BLM page titled "What we believe."
This kind of statement is borderline child abuse as every sociologist knows a single parent home with children out of wedlock produces underprivileged children, regardless of the color of your skin.

You could make an argument BLM wants to destroy the nuclear family among other cultural institutions, which is a form of cultural cleansing.

Yeah, that was a pretty good smackdown educating Don Lemon on how African slavers were privileged and how the English were oppressed by having to pay for a fleet to kill all the African Slavers.

Spare me with the "injustice" rhetoric.
Every case DA Kim Foxx has prosecuted was the very definition of unjust and unfair. Yet there are no consequences.
You know why that is.

Most people are paying attention to the recessions that are funding the war of oligarchs to end all oligarchal wars.
The age of imperial hawkishness is at an end. 2016 is calling, and they want their standard of living back.
See Italy for Exhibit A.

why aren’t Chovin’s attorneys or any attorney out there petitioning the medical community to have the expert witnesses in the Chovin trial arrested for perjury?
Cancel culture is a strong motivator for keeping your mouth shut. Hopefully, America's reign of terror will pass as people are distracted with the current recession.

I still can't get over that recent Jordan Peterson interview that made the case that deep down, Democrat supporters actually WANT to be divided.
They WANT to lie to themselves and to each other and they WANT to tell on each other.
Biden is simply telling his supporters what they want to hear. It's not all top down.

Is that the government’s fault or is that a failure of capitalism?
Well let's see here. The government under the Crony Marxist Democrats just pledged to support the competitors of combustion vehicles to the tune of ...what was in that boondoggle "save da planet" bill...hundreds of billions of dollars?
How is Toyota supposed to compete with that kind of corruption of the free market? You already know the answer.

Oh ya, 7% GDP growth in 2021 and record low unemployment is so fucked.
2 consecutive quarters of NEGATIVE GDP. Very likely we will have a 3rd as well since Biden thinks he can spend his way out of it with your tax dollars.

Thanks Biden.
Democrats used to care about liberty and free speech and used to get pissed when the politicians they voted for started working for ultra rich lobbyists.
Democrats once long ago didn't elect racist 80 year old segregationists that told people what to do based on the color of their skin.

Roosevelt sees an article about high costs and low margins for closing Texas refineries, and then calls that "corporate greed"
Democrats don't give a shit about costs to the producers, they only care about making excuses for high prices. As if all manufactured shit just grows on trees organically and you don't even need to collect it.
