I thought that if I found the right argument, then truth and logic would win the day. People just didn't know, hadn't been taught. Surely freedom and truth would be enough incentive to act sanely. Instead what I have found is that all the media has to do is to show a picture of one single starving kitten, then say capitalism is to blame, and that the country needs to burn. BURN AMERICA TO SAVE ONE KITTEN!!! They put that message on loop 24/7 and people start grabbing torches. We can have another American revolution or it will be the French revolution. Generational stupidity has a cost, and we are about to pay it.

At one point in my life I held a gun to my head, I experienced a lot of traumatic events during my childhood and in an effort to help others Who have gone through traumatic events I’ll talk about some of them right here right now. When I was a child I was molested buy an adult man. I never told anybody until I was 14. I had a nervous break down during my teenage years and turned a hard liquor and music for therapy. Although I give all glory to God putting all my effort and time in the music saved my life. But it was during my mid 20s That I held a gun to my head and almost pulled the trigger inside of my grandfather’s bedroom while he was off doing something. I felt like my life had no meaning And I was sure that I was going to end it but at the end of the day I did not have the balls to pull the trigger. Although I won’t get into grade details I’ve had a rough go when it comes to relationships. But I’m not here to victimize myself or let you do it to yourself. Put all that negative energy into something else such as your hatred for certain politicians like I do or give your life to Christ like I did. I choose to have faith in God and it is that faith in God that saved my life more than anything else. When I was 27 I did this and I have never looked back nor doubted his existence. Although music was great therapy my faith in God and Jesus Christ truly gave me peace that I never felt before. It’s hard to explain or even quantify in words But I feel peace being humble at how small I am compared to God and his kingdom. That I can give all my worries and pains and heart aches to someone who loves me no matter what. I have over come homelessness, heart break, Abuse, Mental physical and emotional trauma, Financial ruin, Betrayal, pedophelia and one terrible car accident. Although I’m not as physically strong as I used to be my mental fortitude as far greater than my physical strength ever could be and outweighs it. I encourage you to be strong if you are going through something, And if you can’t be strong at least stay alive because tomorrow will surely come And things are sure to change

>Created by Black people for Black people—and now a pillar of white supremacist capitalism. If you consume coffee, you are helping an industry built on racism. Wow, OK... >If you’re a person of color, you know what I’m talking about. You walk into a new coffee shop and your senses are overwhelmed with whiteness and you get the glare from the Karens. The white hipster barista lines herself up between you and the bathrooms, ready to tell you non-customers aren’t welcome. >If you have a white coffee drinking friend, he or she may have even let you in on the old coffee joke white coffee drinkers share when PoC aren’t around: “there are three things that are necessary in order to make a cup of coffee, and they are: first, a black man to roast the coffee; second, a yellow man to grind it; and third, a white man to drink it.” >Well, I’m here to validate your lived experience; coffee is in fact horribly racist, and there’s data to back it up. >Every facet of the coffee industry, in fact, is rooted in racism. From the moment the whites viciously stole coffee from Black and Brown People to the present-day Karen sipping her morning cup of white supremacy, whites have been able to drink the fruits of our labor and our culture with impunity. This is the point at which we do not really know if it's satire, right..? >It’s a well-known fact that whites would be eating bland food, like plain bread and gruel, if it weren’t for their theft of culinary secrets from people of color, and especially Black folks. That’s precisely why when the whites found out about coffee, it became one of the reasons they decided to victimize and appropriate Black civilization wholesale. LOL what... I refuse to believe this is real. Regardless, check out the link..? lol.

It was the late 90s and I had never thought about racism really. I had many black friends as well as white friends and other races. It was never an issue for us at least for me during the 90s looking at people of color differently. It wasn’t until I saw these flyers and how it affected people in the community but I really started to think about it. Me personally I’m not a racist but I do want people of all colors to be held accountable for their crimes and unjust deeds according to law and social contracts. I have been wronged by people of every color and gender and I despise degeneracy, Use of hard drugs and other moral things to the maximum. I think George carlin had a best when he said all people like this should be fenced off in an area the size of Rhode Island or something like that and some shit state in the middle of the country and be allowed to do as many drugs and kill as many people and do all kinds of crazy shit as they want away from greater society. Although I don’t care whether you believe in Christ or not I believe in him with all my heart and it wasn’t until I gave my life to Christ that I felt true peace in my heart. I will never recognize another deity or God as real. I know I’m rambling on so I’ll just stop now

Four Republican congressmen have entreated US President Joe Biden to send cluster munitions, a controversial weapon banned in 110 countries, to Ukraine, dismissing concerns about escalating the conflict as misplaced in a letter to the White House on Tuesday. The Biden administration shouldn’t hesitate to send cluster munitions – specifically dual purpose improved conventional munitions (DPICM) – because of “vague concerns about the reaction of allies and partners and unfounded fears of ‘escalation’,” Sen. James Risch (R-Idaho), Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Mississippi), Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), and Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Alabama) wrote in their letter. After all, they said, other countries have already sent such weapons without triggering Russian retaliation. Acknowledging the weapons’ horrific effects, the signatories argued that while Ukrainian leaders are “aware of the risks to non-combatants,” the “existential threat posed by Russia’s invasion and daily acts of barbarity” is more important. Additionally, they claimed, “d,” US DPICM are equipped with “technologically advanced measures” that limit collateral damage. A 2008 UN treaty banned cluster munitions in 110 countries, including three-quarters of NATO member nations. It has been signed by another 13 countries, though neither Russia, Ukraine, nor the US are on that list. Ukraine is the only country where the deadly devices are currently in use, and both sides have been accused of deploying them in the conflict. Aside from one attack in Yemen in 2009, the US has not used cluster munitions since it invaded Iraq in 2003 and has not produced any since 2016. Central Command has admitted the hundreds of smaller bombs they contain are often left unexploded across the strike area, posing risks similar to landmines to anyone – especially children – who encounter the odd-looking little “petal mines.”

“Here we go again — an outrageous abuse of power by a radical DA who lets violent criminals walk as he pursues political vengeance against President Trump,” House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said after Trump on Saturday, citing illegal leaks, warned of a forthcoming arrest. “I’m directing relevant committees to immediately investigate if federal funds are being used to subvert our democracy by interfering in elections with politically motivated prosecutions,” he added.

This Trump arrest has invigorated them. If there ever was a plan, it wasn't very good. The Patriots don't control squat. The only way this ends is with a lot of dead bodies. A lot. About 7 billion dead bodies. Or more. If I haven't said it recently, repent.

That's what you get for being male feminist

In an effort to stay true to my original mission of this community I will never ban or seek to exile anyone as long as they follow the simple rules of my community which are minimal. Everyone from Republicans to Democrats to communist to nationalists and everyone else in between I welcome to the debate and post stories and do whatever they like here as long as it does not break existing US law. The reason we are banned on the main instance of this website which is Lemmy It’s because we truly value to free speech. They are free to do as they please just as we are I just hope that our mission and how we treat one another it’s both fair honest and respectable and even if you don’t respect it you must acknowledge the fact that I will let you say whatever you want even if you were literally calling me retarded and a homophobic racist white boy. I truly don’t give a flying fuck what anyone thinks about me and I am not afraid to hide who I am. I personally do not give a fuck if people are gay or if they’ve had a sex change I just want them to keep that shit out of schools and let children decide for themselves and in my opinion anyone who argues against that clearly has some kind of weird agenda where they want to promote their sexuality with minors and some kind of strange effort to be recognized for the sexual orientation or gender and install time I’m sorry if daddy didn’t hug you enough that you were special because I want all of you to know that none of us are Donkey shit. But I respect the free flow of information and conversation and effort to make us worth more than donkey shit if that makes sense. I think all of you are special In your own autistic retarded way and I welcome you to display how smart you think you are or how retarded you really are in this epic mission I called free speech on the Internet. I’m using a voice Typer To write this and I will refuse to make any corrections to any misspellings or typos so for anybody misunderstanding me I apologize and truly hope that you learn how to interpret things as they really are. As far as who I am I am a white Christian nationalist and a civic nationalist at that not a hard line nationalist. I am neither a racist or anti-somatic or homophobic or trans phobic. I’m just a dude leading the charge for the free flow of information both here and on another website. If you wish to be a part of this great mission I welcome you with open arms no matter who you are or what you believe in
