The object of a system of authority is order, not justice. Justice matters only after injustice sufficiently compromises order.

    a German truck was a work of art compared to a Jeep

    Was it though? A lot of WWII German equipment and practices have developed a myth of quality that isn’t remotely true. You hear a lot about how great Panzer tanks were but rarely do you hear that their transmissions tended to last 200 miles or less. Meanwhile the stupid Sherman had cross cut gears so it was way quieter and lasted way longer.

    We also tend to ignore that German logistics were absolutely bonkers. While American’s were unloading pallets with forklifts and putting them on trucks Germans were unloading loose bags / boxes by hand and putting them on pack animals (because they didn’t have trucks). Even worse the same dudes unloading the cargo were often combat units!




  • Our kids still get up to things online that we wish they wouldn’t.

    Remove the word “online” and that sentence is not only still true but it’s been true for Millennia. It doesn’t matter what our beliefs as parents are, our children will always do things we wish they wouldn’t.

    I lean hard on letting them have the freedom to make choices but sometimes I think I’ve made a mistake.

    From one parent to another I honestly believe that that you are doing parenting correctly! You can’t raise children to be responsible and mature adults if they aren’t free to make decisions until after they leave the home. We give them space and training commensurate with their age and ability while they are still kids so that we can teach them and pick them up when they fall.


  • Isolating kids from “not approved” voices is a key dream of the Heritage Foundation and the other think-tanks of big tech, corporations, and Christo-fascism.

    These kind of age verification laws meant to silence “not approved” voices are happening in BLUE states. Are you seriously arguing that the Heritage Foundation and “Christo-fascism” have significant voices in places like California, New York, Colorado, Illinois, and Michigan?

    Big Tech is involved because they are tired of getting their balls sued off and are trying to find a way to shield themselves from liability. If it were up to them they’d stick with the system that has been in place for the last 25 years.

    No Clue how anyone can support letting the US government of propaganda, queer erasure, burying unpleasant history;have MORE control over kids.

    Look around you bub, that stuff ain’t being done by the US Government. It’s being done by the States themselves and in this context it’s being done by the so called Progressive Liberals.

    They’re so Progressively Liberal, or Liberally Progressive, that their brains have fallen out of their ass.

    The Internet is meant to be anonymous and have free speech. I mean the US definition of speech too not the ridiculous “Free when we like the message” bullshit that so many simpletons seem to prefer.
