The recent statement by a conservative influencer advocating for the reinstatement of slavery if the majority in a state desires it has sparked outrage and disgust across social media platforms. The blatant disregard for human rights and the lack of empathy displayed in such a statement is not only shocking but deeply troubling. The nonchalant attitude of “What do I give a shit” in response to the horrors of slavery is a clear reflection of the selfish and morally bankrupt mentality that seems to permeate segments of society.
The notion that taking away someone else’s rights is justifiable as long as it doesn’t directly impact oneself is a dangerous mindset that can lead to grave injustices.… Continue reading
The recent news of the Trump rally gunman, Thomas Crooks, being identified as a staunch conservative by his former classmate raises many questions and concerns. It is intriguing to ponder why someone who was so entrenched in conservative beliefs would resort to attempting to assassinate a conservative candidate like Donald Trump. This incident sheds light on the complexities within the conservative spectrum and challenges the notion that all conservatives are unified in their beliefs and actions.
It is important to note that political ideologies are nuanced and diverse, even within the same party. Classmate Max R. Smith’s recollection of Crooks standing alone on the conservative side during a mock debate highlights the individuality and independence of thought that exists within political affiliations.… Continue reading
I find it humorous, in a rather sad way, that there is still this pervasive idea floating around that the Supreme Court is some beacon of impartiality and justice. The reality is far from that; the Court is deeply entrenched in politics and ideology, just like any other branch of government. To even make it onto the Supreme Court, you need political connections and an ideology that aligns with the president who nominated you. The notion that justices are chosen solely for their judicial acumen is a farce; it all comes down to party ideology and political maneuvering.
The entire process of selecting Supreme Court justices reeks of politics and power plays.… Continue reading
Lara Trump’s recent statement claiming that conservatives are now the counterculture and it is cool to be a conservative is not only laughable but also incredibly out of touch with reality. The idea that embracing conservative values is somehow rebellious or edgy goes against everything that counterculture stands for.
This notion is nothing new, as it seems like every few years, conservatives try to rebrand themselves as the new punk rock. However, the reality is far from it. The conservative ideology is rooted in authoritarianism, not rebellion against the status quo. It is about upholding traditional values and maintaining the existing power structures, which are the opposite of what counterculture movements aim to achieve.… Continue reading
A Canadian family flees to Russia only to have their assets frozen and are now desperate to leave. This story is a perfect example of the consequences of ignorance and blind ideology. The family made a rash decision to move to a foreign country without even bothering to learn the language or truly understand the political and social landscape they were entering. Their misguided belief that Russia would offer them the freedom and lifestyle they desired has backfired in the most spectacular way.
The irony of the situation is almost comical. These individuals, driven by their anti-human rights beliefs and desire to escape what they perceived as an oppressive society in Canada, found themselves in a situation that is far worse than anything they could have imagined.… Continue reading
