      I just had an epiphany that the past va xxes did this to them. There is no other explanation. This did not exist before. What the current va xxes are doing now, makes it make sense. We've always been part of experimentation since the very first va x in the 1700s. The end always seems to justify the means, especially when people have forgotten the means. I'm a data analyst, and would like your thoughts.

      If Gender doesn't even exist why even measure or count it. Who cares if 90% of people in a particular field have testicles if gender doesn't matter and doesn't even exist. To even count and measure the numbers would then be racist. The very premise is BS and a lie.

They sure try and with people who don't have a mind as sharp and knowledgeable as Ben they have small victories. Many times though, they will default to mindless slogans or repeating insults, when they have no way to prove truth is a lie.

      You're not alone. I've been a liberal most of my life up until very recently. Marched for BLM, lived and been friends with trans in co-ops. But BLM turned out to be a scam and this trans ideology is clearly a creeping and insidious atheistic religion since it believes in some sort of spirit/ego beyond the physical body, and that the body should be maimed and constantly dosed into pharma drug slavery in the name of "Love and Acceptance." Real Love is Truth, Real Love accepts who we truly are beyond the limited desire filled and fickle ego.
      Grooming children and encouraging them to maim and drug themselves will always be evil. We should be helping youth find self-esteem and Love and Accept their bodies for who they actually are.
      If you look up people like Alfred Kinsey and Dr. John Money who originally started pushing all these perverse views and coining the terms/language the Trans community used in the scientific and medically community, I recommend you prepare yourself mentally, because the root of their work and minds are filled with horrors that are hard to comprehend, since it beyond any realm of human decency.
      I realized there have been a lot of unfounded Ad hominem attacks on Ben and others. I'm not as conservative as Ben, but when it comes to defending the Innocence of Children and the Rights of biological Women, on this we can agree.

And "fact" is since last 10 years especially the left side of political spectrum is loosing side mostly. I feel like since the golden times of Barack Obama in office (who had his flaws) was the best "left" leader they could offer and now they cannot for the life of them put someone "better" then him in office (sleepy joe is sleepy 😪).

    • @Bancheis
      @Bancheis Před 2 lety +8

      @@karmafilmsnm I have a different theory. Back in my day, when children misbehaved in public or in private, they were spanked. Don't confuse that with people beat their children, there IS such a thing as going too far... but a reasonable spanking was enough to teach the children that your actions have consequences, and sometimes those consequences are dire. Pain is a useful tool. It has been for millennia. Let me veer off topic for a second here and talk about nunchucks. The way you learn to be an expert with nunchucks is by practice. You swing them around, and you WILL hit yourself with them. It causes pain, and you quickly learn what to do and what not to do, what your limitations are, and the penalty for being stupid. Back on topic, this applies to a lot of things in real life. Pain is a reminder from your body that you could be in danger if you keep doing what you are doing, and discipline is a reminder that pain is the consequence to stupidity.
      Now, second part of this theory is that we as a society have become weak. Not just because people don't discipline their children anymore, but because people no longer understand respect. It is popular to be a rebel these days, go against the grain. Young people CRAVE attention from the internet, social media, friends, family... but they often don't get this at home anymore. Acting out has always been a cry for attention or for help. And while they crave attention and are willing to do anything to get it, even commit crimes on camera, they do it all for selfish and self-serving means. You also have people who have to clean every surface 4 or 5 times a day to ensure 99.9% germs are dead and your immune system has nothing to practice on. Then you wonder why people get sick really easily. Go outside and eat some dirt as a child. Swim in the lakes filled with sewage and other nasty things. Don't wash your hands after touching every unclean surface. Trust me, your body will thank you.
      Back to social media. You can claim to be fighting for other people... but then why record it? Why do you need to show others that you are fighting if you are not looking for some sort of reward? True heroes fight for something they believe in without asking for anything in return. "Oh it's to raise awareness" as if people aren't aware of the problem you chose to champion. We live in the digital age where information is not only at our fingertips in a matter of seconds, but it is aggressively shoved down our throats by media moguls and "influencers" alike. To assume we are not aware of a problem is like trying to point out a small pond in front of you while the Great Lakes are right behind you. Foreign governments, organizations, and groups also see social media as an opportunity to push these outlandish and extreme stances on people pretending to be Americans just so they can point us at each other and make us fight like dogs in a ring. The goal has always been to lie to and confuse people, and these "Gender Studies" graduates are just an example of a system that has been pointed in the wrong direction.
      If you respect me, I will respect you. If you have a preferred pronoun, I will either use it or I won't. If you are respectful, I will at least try, unless you have 14 different modes with a page full of rules. If you are a jerk about it, no need to cry about why I don't listen. Just move on to people who are willing to listen to your opinions. That is how the world works, and the quicker you learn it the better.

      Honestly though, Ben didn't answer his question, he just reiterated that he very firmly believes what he believes. He's frankly just to authorative - probably out of habit, rather than actually trying to be authorative in every moment - to actually enter a fair argument, and he didn't in this case.
      The reason this exchange looked respectful was just because the student didn't push him to actually give in answer, but rather just accepted that he wouldn't get one.

    When my parents were at the aging point in their lives where I'm at now, America was sending routine space shuttles into orbit, there were huge advancements in consumer technologies, and America was a place where a middle class could thrive. For me and my generation, we have an extinct middle class, a very unstable economy, pronoun lists, and the perpetually offended culture bent on burning down America. How times change.

      At that time AMERICA was sending space shuttles into orbit because AMERICA was rich. Now INDIVIDUALS hoard wealth, which is why INDIVIDUALS are sending shuttles into space now. Blaming 'pronoun lists' and 'perpetually offended culture' for the economic issues is playing right into the hands of the politicians who are making money favoring these incredibly rich INDIVIDUALS and reducing the middle class. A litmus test of the politicians that are working for the middle class is checking whether they are talking about cancel culture and pronoun lists or if they are talking about taxing the rich. It will take Jeff Bezos hundreds of lifetimes to spend the $270 Billion that he has. TAX THE RICH so that that money can be used to help the middle class.

      @Fock Religion if you understand the detailed science and geometry that surrounds us all over nature even to the simplest degree. And still Arrive to the conclusion that this was all an accidental explosion then you really haven’t experienced the world in its most clear form. Everything has such specific detail to the dot. We have been created. Simple as that. Whether we know anything about the creator or creators is beyond our real ability to ever truly know. But cmon man….there’s sharks in the water lions in the Sahara, they both have two eyes…..that’s just a fantastic accident huh.
