Arguably we're all delusional about something.
There is a difference between opinion difference and being objectively wrong.

I’ve never met a furry that identifies as a non human animal, but I know people that have, so there definitely are delusional people out there.

Some democracies are better than others, but “more equal” isn’t a good term to describe this as 0x=0.

If it’s all speculation, then eventually it will crash by 70% or more. Companies are selling 10% extra each year, but I don’t know why.

Plenty of sports teams are are called some type of animal,Even see people in mascot uniforms.
Nobody in a wolf mascot insists they are a wolf.
If you speak English and believe you are a wolf, you are wrong. Plain and simple.

In my experience (as a furry), most who identify as nonhuman do not wish to be treated any differently because of their identity as therian or other 'nonhuman' identities.
I don’t believe in hating those who identify as animals. I just want to be able to call them out on their inaccuracy.

Individual needs to feel an overwhelming need to help others
You should move to Cuba along with 10 million other communists. 10 million freedom loving Cubans can come here. This does 3 useful things.
1) Communism is less prevalent in American society
2) Another English speaking island in the carrebean.
3) More right wing votes and less left wing ones.

Minimum wage destroys smaller competition so that larger companies can gouge the consumer. A great deal for the stockholders. You didn't actually think for a second Democrats cared about helping the little guy on this issue?
That is true, it the minimum wage is still bad for the stock market. But it’s good for me, because I make more because of it.

Here’s what I think about furries:
If you want to dress up as an animal, I think it’s in poor taste, but you should be allowed to do it. Free country. I don’t support people bullying you for a choice I think is in poor taste.
However, 1 in 3 furries believe that aren’t 100% human (https://www.vox.com/platform/amp/2014/12/10/7362321/9-questions-about-furries-you-were-too-embarrassed-to-ask).
If society is to believe that these furries aren’t 100% human, I’m not judging; I don’t judge for things that are victimless. However, there are some questions people are going to have to answer.
1) Is there any peer reviewed scientific evidence that confirms that some furries are in fact the animal they claim to be and not a human being? If there are none, I fail to see why this should be taken seriously. Your personally allowed to believe you are an animal besides human, but don’t expect any resonable person to believe in your crazy delusions. Delusions that you should be allowed to have and express, but delusions nonetheless.
2) Let’s say you believe you’re a Fox and you’re 10 years old. Well, Foxes don’t get free schooling, so we would have to kick you out of school. If any actual Fox was in school, they are getting killed because they are a threat to the people in the building. Either that, or they would at the very least be expelled. If you identify as a deer, it’s all fun and games until someone shoots you for venison. If you REALLY expect society to treat you as a deer, it means we can kill you for food (unless society goes vegan. I try to be as vegan as I can be in my personal life, but I know most of society won’t join me, but society would have to be at the very least vegetarian in order to outlaw killing deers or any animal people identify as for food.)
3) What is a human? If you want me to believe that furries that identify as a non human animal are that animal, you need to be able to define what a human being is.
Until all of these questions are answered, I fail to see why ANY sane person should believe these delusions. Not judging anyone that is a furry, but if you are a furry, I do not believe you are any animal besides a human being. At least as of now.
Now watch the media’s tricks against me unfold.

Someone pulling out a calculator to figure out how much it would come to is entirely different from someone seriously proposing the amount be repaid.
How so?
Also, who exactly is “BLM” and why should we care?
You are African American and socialist. You know what BLM is. It’s the Black Lives Matter movement that wants reperations.
And no, Uncle Sam isn’t stealing from you. If you don’t want to pay taxes don’t get a job and participate in our economy which is built off of taxation.
Our economy is not built off of taxes. I’m not against taxation, but I relieze it’s theft. But the income tax shouldn’t exist; replace it with a capital gains tax and a sales tax.
And again, even if we want to call this theft it is still categorically different from slavery. Keep pretending otherwise all you want, it just makes you unserious.
Taxation is different from slavery. Nobody that was taxed got raped, whipped, or killed in the process of taxation. But what they have in common is it forces people to subsidize the living expenses of others without their consent.

The parents make the owner the sole producer of the drug. The government doesn’t have to make a profit. If it costs 50 cents to make a serving of insulin it should cost only 50 cents to buy a serving of insulin.

Actually no, they do not, generally. Only 3 do.

Nothing in your deflection justifies the US being so cruel to its poor.
Middle class Americans should not be forced to pay for the health bills of the lower class. Just like middle class suburban families shouldn’t be forced to adopt poor children from rural West Virginia and Harlem no matter how likely that child is going to die without someone adopting them.
I support defunding the adoption system and anyone that complains about it can have an orphan shipped to their door. Virtue signaling is all talk and no action. Match your talk with action. If you think foster care should merit ANY funding, adopt a child. Don’t tread on taxpayers!

And yeah, generally speaking Democrats are pretty good at passing regulations that favor the stock market, especially when it enriches themselves like Pelosi.
Don’t regulations harm the stock market? An example of a regulation is the minimum wage. If there were no wage regulations, the stock market would do better.
They just made a really bad call with the predictions of the Covid shutdown on the economy.
Biden wasn’t in charge at the height of the pandemic; Trump was. He was in charge for the end of the pandemic (when the stock market should have skyrocketed).
The article you cited was written during the Trump administration.

Including the president, all congress members and all judges on the US supreme court?
Not for judges, but for president and congress people. Our politicians should live their values when it comes to the minimum wage. If you think you can live off of $7.25, live off of $7.25 if you are in charge of the law in this country.

The private sector didn’t pay for the development of the patents. So they should have NO right to use the patents to make money.

I don’t like that. Politicians should get paid just minimum wage because if they believe that a $7.25 minimum wage (or even $15 an hour) is livable, they should prove it, by living off solely of whatever they deem to be what one needs to survive.

If you weren’t allowed to get parents for lifesaving medicine, nobody would want to produce lifesaving medicine (unless a government worker, but that requires free healthcare which I don’t support). I support profit free healthcare, but not free healthcare. Pay the $1 per 100 pills it costs to get and make insulin.

- If you don't believe the polls, believe the voters. 60% of voters in Nebraska voted in a $15 minimum wage last Novemeber, more than the number of voters that voted for a Republican governor.

I would never ever be one, I would donate the money.
You can do that; but I wouldn’t want to donate most of my wealth if I had tens of millions of dollars while alive.
However, let’s say you have $10 million. You have 2 options. They are:
1) Donate it. If this happens, you have helped the poor with $8 million.
2) Invest it. The market tends to grow at 10% a year, so in 7 years, it doubles. In 14 years, it multiplies 4 fold. In 21 years, it multiplies 8 fold, and so on until when you die 56 years from now, your wealth multiplied 128 fold. That $8 million turned into $1 billion. When you die, then you donate $1 billion to charity.
I have a feeling most left wing billionaires are doing the 2nd option because they know it would be better for the poor in the long term. Most right wing billionaires donate the money to their kids. I think it’s a mistake to do that, but they have the right to do that.

I don’t like how Biden is treating the border. I want the counties to decide for themselves if they want undocumented immigrants in their counties. If rural Tenessee doesn’t want the undocumented, that’s fine; send them to Manhattan (who would want them). Let every county decide its own fate, not the federal government.

The fact is that kids should not be sexualized in any way shape or form.
I agree 100%. Children should not be sexualized. Although if I had a kid and they asked me how kids were made, I would tell them the truth.

Normally, democratic politicians are better for the stock market. But under Biden, my stock prices are $6500 worse than they would be on average. I really hope Biden does better things for the stock market so my stocks do better. If my stocks were $6500 higher, I’d have no problem voting for Biden. But they are crap right now, and because of that, Let’s Go Brandon!

- 493,000 are local positions (98.6%) - school board members, dog catchers, etc.
There are millions of government employees, but there are about half a million government officials.
The average salary of a US poltician is $24,000/yr.
Possible, I’m not sure though.
70% of Americans and nearly every Democrat supports a $15/hr minimum wage The fastest way to raise the min wage to $15/hr is to never vote Republican ever again.
I don’t believe that poll is accurate. This is because most polls state the left wing position is the more popular one in America. If this was the case, then democrats would win in virtually every state election and would always win federally. But they don’t. Joe Biden’s stock market is rising for me $6500 less than it would have on average. I don’t know what I should value more, $6500 or a minimum wage increase of $1 an hour (because in my state, the minimum wage is very high).

What if all politicians got paid only minimum wage? This does 2 things that I think would be useful:
1) There are over half a million politicians in the US (https://myemail.constantcontact.com/Trivia-Time--How-many-elected-officials-are-there-in-the-United-States-.html?soid=1102356662894&aid=0IhxAITNdoQ). Assuming each person gets paid $100,000 a year and we cut their salary to minimum wage, this saves about $50 billion a year.
2) It lets our politicians live their values. If the minimum wage is $7.25 an hour, that’s what our politicians get. This both would cause the minimum wage to rise to $15 an hour (maybe $20 an hour if our politicians want a higher salary) and this helps we the people. I don’t want to pay the welfare of minimum wage workers, so it makes sense to give them a higher wage.

I don’t think it’s fair; the US government spent the money needed to create these drugs, so the US government should own the patents and not private companies. But I guess it’s okay if healthcare companies post BLM in their profile.
I don’t care if you post BLM in your profile; you shouldn’t steal from the taxpayer. The US government paid for the production of the drug patents; we the people should own them, not corporations.

Yes, there are people on both sides of the political isle that are very bad.
It proves some GOP politicians are hypocrites. Matt Schlapp is against homosexuality.
But the fact you have to search to call out conservatives who have done wrong, is kind of showing your true colors.
If a democrat did this (Joe Biden accused of sexually assaulting stars Reade), I would be equally as upset about it; I voted for Jo Jorgensen in 2020.

The problem that I have with the video is that they are using a source to attack Candice Owens rather than Andrew Tate. But the one source they use the entire time took place after her take on him.
You may have interpreted it like that and I understand, but I see it as more of an attack on Tate.
But what really surprises me, is when certain people (the left) say that he is a worse influence than someone like Cardi B.
I don’t know much about Cardi B.
Andrew Tates main points are about going to the gym, eating healthier, stop doing drugs, get rich, and become successful.Cardi B's main points are to do drugs, be hoes, and sexualize yourself.
On those points, yes, Tate is a better role model. But if Tate says he loves raping women and if he has ever raped a woman, he deserves the death penalty. Andrew Tate also wants men to be sexualized just like Cardi B.

If someone stole money from you I’m pretty sure you’d want it back.
Uncle Sam steals from me all the time. It would be nice if he stops.
First of all, hundreds of trillions of dollars? You could at least pretend to be serious.
BLM said they want reperations for 400 years of slavery with interest. Minimum wage, 400 years, 40 million African Americans, this turns out to be 40 million*400*15000=$240 trillion without interest. With interest for 400 years, it’s much more.

The government steals money all the time. The only difference is it’s legal when the government steals money.
That’s the difference between libetarians and socialists. The libetarians don’t want reperations from previously stolen funds; they just want the theft to stop. This is for both slavery and taxation.
Socialists tend to want this weird combination, where they want to pay back the hundreds of trillions of dollars that was legally stolen 200 years ago but they also want to increase the theft that happens today from the top 1%. It’s totally inconsistent. BTW, giving every black person hundreds of millions of dollars for slavery is very ideologue and would make every black person rich and every white person millions of dollars in debt, so it’s a nonstarter.

We won’t be in an echo chamber. 53% of Americans voted for Biden. If we replace the white entitled communist Cuba lover with a working class America loving Cuban and the 2020 election was copied, Biden would win 50% of the vote. This is far from an echo chamber.

It’s about recognizing that much of the wealth passed down for generations now was built off of stolen labor
If that was the case, southern states would be rich. Yet America’s richest states were those that did not have slavery for a long time. New England, New York, California, even Texas (it was a confederate state, but it didn’t have slavery for a long time).
Wealth can get created or destroyed. The South destroyed its wealth that it got from slavery.
