At this point the constitution is just an excuse.

This empire is going to take a few generations to fall. Doubt I'll see a revolution in my life time, but maybe my kids will get to see that silver lining.

America was always the 2nd Reich

Musk has his own marketing apparatus in China as well, and the government has been looking the other way because this feud will benefit them in the long run.

3 times the budget for the Marines. Crazy

Says people should learn to speak English in America, cuts funding for English learning.

Eh, we need a cultural shift that neuters marketing or else people will always be subject to the whims of those with capital.

For whatever reason we are not understanding each other. I don't think I can restate it any more clearly. I guess we just have to leave it at that.

Let me put it another way. You are wrong in regards to trans participation in sports but not because you are being a contrarian. You are also wrong to use your contrarian stance to justify your opinion. Hopefully that clears things up.

I'm not saying you're wrong because you're contrarian, most of the people here fall into the category. What I am saying is that using the fact that an opinion is contrarian is not evidence that it is correct.

Most of the additional ridership [that] was identified cannibalized other lines. You’re taking people who are paying on other lines, and they were just getting a free ride.

What a bizarre way to measure the success or failure of a program.

The new talking point is that man made climate change is real but burning oil isn't causing the world to warm. But that does mean we can geoengineer our climate to be cooler. 🙃

It's frankly disgusting to compare this to people wanting free Netflix. I know that's not exactly what's happening here but I think we're loosing the plot.

Contrarian has a definition, it isn't relative to what my opinion is but the mainstream. The point is you're using the fact that your opinions are contrarian as evidence that your opinions are correct. It is funny.

Like I said elsewhere, you're competing with the internet for the most contrarian take. You revealed that trans athletes is not an issue you support because they are such a small group of the whole. But when you feel insecure or challenged about your "hot take" you do the contrarian line of "it's impossible for 100% of the people on the group to agree" as if this is a matter of opinion and not facts. As long as it is rooted in opinions, you are free to claim the most contrarian take possible.

T is only one letter of 4+. And trans-women is only half of T. And athlete trans women is a small subset of that. And athlete trans women that want to play in women's leagues are a subset of that.

Wow that's revealing more than you probably wanted.

Nah, this is just a contrarian contest.

Billionaires are happy to say people work harder when they're desperate and boy the billionaires are working hard to smear this guy.

That's less than I pay for healthcare ATM. Talk about a bargain!

That is a good point, and I think the difficult part is the initial change. Once you connect to a revolutionary/vanguard community with it's own cultural riches on the other end then it is as you say, the less exhausting option.
