Its not just money and power he wants. Read May Trump’s book and you’ll learn his father was a psychopath who verbally berated his older brother Fred (Mary’s father) so much so that Fred found comfort in alcohol and died young. Young Donald learned to identify with the aggressor in order to win his father’s regard. To my mind, Putin reminds Trump of his father and he wants to please his father.
He’s plenty smart in terms of verbal fluency and debate. However he lacks introspective capacity or moral center or empathy, without which he is simply an ambitiously sharp tool being wielded by others (like Thiel)
She’s been fine, but it is past time for change
Maybe not western european in particular but you sound 100% Bombadilian to me. I’ll bet your boots are yellow.
Apparently blind and unaware of the deficit.
How can I explain color to a blind man? You’re either attuned to the suffering around you or you’re contributing to it. Apparently you can’t see that. You must be blind.
What contact in your personal or professional life have you had with trans folk? Are you speaking with experience of appreciating their pain or are you just speaking based on what you’ve heard?
If you can accept the reality of gender dysphoria, then it is reasonable to address how that condition is best treated. The consequences of not treating can be lethal via suicide so this is not an idle question. If transitioning makes the difference between life or death (or chronic substantial depression) then arguably encouraging this affected people to “be trans” is the right thing to do. Sorry if it hurts your feeling but that’s the reality of it.
Just about any medical procedure will sometimes produce regrets in some portion of the population of people who undergo it, for instance vaccinations, amniocentesis, etc. It’s not reasonable to suggest that because this is true that no one should have access to the treatments.
The enemy of my enemy isn’t really a friend but I’m willing to support them sometimes?
And you’ll be older tomorrow. There is no escape. Being a dick about it won’t help.
A shitposter for real!
Paradox of tolerance
It’s web-scale!
Honestly, web analytics are just stupid unless your business is selling ads. Its just vanity outside of that business case
You’re finally in your element, Donnie

If you are a victim, then you can be righteously indignant and angry about it. They like the anger.
And jeans
