In other news

In the current news climate we see that some figures and events tend to dominate the front-pages heavily. Still, there are important, interesting or just plain weird things happening out there and a group of people can find these better than one.

I thought I would test with a thread for linking general news articles about "other news" and discussion. Perhaps it goes into the abyss that is page 2 and beyond, but it is worth a try.

Some guidelines:
- Try to find the "clean link", so that links to the news site directly and not a social media site. Avoid "amp-links" (google).
- Write some cliff notes on what it is about, especially if it is a video.
- It's not an excuse to make outlandish claims via proxy or link extremist content.
- If it's an editorial or opinion piece, it is polite to mark it as such.
- Note the language if it is not in English.
- There is no demand that such things be posted here, if you think a piece merits its own thread, then make one.

Being a lefists is truly mental poison.

You'd win the forum mental illness poll in a landslide cupcake. And there's a real good chance you'd get every single vote lol

After my first few encounters with him I blocked him because I legitimately thought he was mentally ill and I didn't feel right interacting with him. It was only much later that I realized he's not and he's actually just a garbage human.


in other news, twitter has been valued at approx the same price Musk had paid for it (44bln) in the latest investor round, back up from the -80% (or more) nadir it touched an year ago

It can be both kinda like a mix of reg **** and diarrhea 😀


In other news, college educated white women are ON NOTICE


YOU ARE NEXT BITCHES

I know I've said this a few times before but everything about what Republicans currently stand for makes me so ****ing sick I legitimately can't stomach it*. You are all deplorable sacks of **** for supporting this. Oh, you don't support this? Yes you do. This is exactly what you voted for and exactly what people like me warned you about for months and months and months

Oh, you don't like coordi talking down to you for being disgusting? Too ****ing bad


I'll have a college educated white woman who will be entering the job market deep in the current Trump term. Will provide a trip report when the time comes.

The FUD being peddled by peers at her particular Wisconsin university campus is pretty standard lazy lefty fare. It has affected her confidence in her choices, and I'm doing my best to combat it by reminding her that the real world isn't anything even close to what all the Negative Nancies claim it to be.

You threaten to ban me over the most mundane things you deem "hateful" and yet, AS A MOD, you spew this disgusting, vile rhetoric. Get ****ed loser.

Just a thought

Democrats are literally the party of hate and violence. Conservatives want peace, family, God, and prosperity.

This is real life by the way. The tweets have millions of views, and is clipping a piece of news shown on CBS. This was mirrored on Fox and all over Facebook and twitter and will make the rounds on Rogan and Shultz.

Just because you don't explicitly support it and want to pretend its not real, doesn't mean this isn't what Republicans currently stand for. This is the right wing media pipeline we all talk about so much

i am not sure what you mean, the tweets you reported just say that white women with a college degree are inimical as a group to every value of the right.

that's actually true in the USA. why would that be wrong to say ?

“Higher education is brainwashing” is currently a trending topic


by coordi k

“Higher education is brainwashing” is currently a trending topic

it is abundantly clear that colleges have been Marxist -maling machines for years, is it even controversial?

college professors sleep to the left in ways that are unparalleled in the general population, by their own self admission.

and it is uncontroversial that young women fall for what they perceive to be societal authority more than young men who tend to be far more rebellious.

women play within the system, men often try to play from outside the system, that's normal and biologically motivated. men, especially those without special qualities, have to prove themselves, women just have to play by the rules whatever they perceive they are to land on their feet.

it's uncontroversial to claim that colleges are directly and systematically making people leftists, causally, women more than men for the aforementioned reasons, and ofc you love that to be the case.

people who consider leftism carcinogenic don't like it as much though.

still nothing to do with mysoginy or anything else improper, it is absolutely correct to point out how devastating to society college is nowadays, and disturbing it is it makes people leftists, how inimical to the core values of humanity it is to produce millions upon millions of deranged radical leftists.

it is very important to burn down leftist control of colleges and rebuild them as morally healthy (ie right-wing) institutions


Yeah, its abundantly clear that spending time with people of other backgrounds and cultures makes people more tolerant. Its also abundantly clear that the type of person who seek out higher education in a diverse setting will uncontroversially be more open minded than those who don't.

It might make people less susceptible to propaganda as well. That doesn't even have to be true to make it obvious why more formally educated people are liberal.

The rest of your post is nonsense, per usual


OMG the notion that this bootlicker is less fallen in line with authority and more rebellious than anyone else is amazing.

but they aren't in every country and they weren't decades ago.

so something specific happened in the USA , recently, and it's the left capture of colleges.

and given it's a national security threat (as anything that increases the power of the left is) it has to be stopped by state power, right now.

but anyway, it's not about your silly leftist labels, not about misogyny or anything else. it's just the very normal claim that leftism is a domestic threat to society to deal with.


Damn Europeans - gtf out

https://apnews.com/article/border-touris...

U.S. border agents handcuffed Tyler, a U.S. citizen, and chained her to a bench, while her fiancé, Lucas Sielaff, was accused of violating the rules of his 90-day U.S. tourist permit, the couple said. Authorities later handcuffed and shackled Sielaff and sent him to a crowded U.S. immigration detention center. He spent 16 days locked up before being allowed to fly home to Germany.

They include another German tourist who was stopped at the Tijuana crossing on Jan. 25. Jessica Brösche spent over six weeks locked up, including over a week in solitary confinement, a friend said.

On the Canadian border, a backpacker from Wales spent nearly three weeks at a detention center before flying home this week. And a Canadian woman on a work visa detained at the Tijuana border spent 12 days in detention before returning home last weekend.
