Oh... you "regret" not murdering more brown people to satify your tiny little fascist hardon, eh? In Saudi Arabia? The Saudi Arabia that is the product of US foreign policy? The Saudi Arabia that only exists as a client state of the US? That Saudi Arabia?

Saudi Arabia exists because the British fucked over the Sharif of Mecca and he got conquered by the Wahhabis. The reason I want them wiped off the map is because of that aforementioned Wahhabism, and yes, being friends with them was a mistake on America's part, so what, every country does bad things

Proof for these (alleged) "tribal" genes, fascism-boi - you do know what actual proof is, don't you?

First of all, I don't think you know what fascism is, second of all, the science of genetics is not advanced enough for us to narrow down the thousands of genes that affect someone's personality. If you're not able to draw conclusions from observing human behavior, I don't know what to tell you.

Oh, of course you don't, of course you don't... you just get sexually aroused at the idea of committing genocide against brown people - it's not that you're a rabid white supremacist at all, eh?

Uh, nah, I think you're projecting since you watch too much porn. I said the moral superiority of the west makes my dick hard, not genocide. Also, genocide is only good by your logic, don't blame me.

Riiiiiight... they just hid him from you for years for shits and giggles. Never mind the fact that all the funding and intelligence support for the 9/11 operation came from Saudi Arabia - yet another country you failed to invade.

Our failure to wipe Saudi Arabia off the map when we had an excuse to do so is one that I regret every day, but the fact of the matter is that the Taliban were harboring Al-Qaeda and refusing to cooperate in our search for them while Pakistan wasn't. Also, America's actions in the Middle East make sense when you remember that the economy would collapse if they decided to stop selling us fossil fuels. Unfortunate and scummy, yes, but I'd avoid pissing off my fuel source as well.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Talking about evidence... will you be taking long providing some for those "tribalistic" genes you were bragging about a few replies ago?

Studies have found that heritability affects everything from extroversion/introversion, disgust response, how compassionate someone is, how likely someone is to experience certain types of mental illness, testosterone and estrogen levels, and even whether someone is likely to be politically leftist or politically right wing, and when we selectively breed animals, we can get animals with completely different temperaments, but the idea that natural selection might've caused humans to have an affinity for the tribes we've been living in for the past few million years? Complete blasphemy, right?

Actually, scratch that, just look at human behavior and how people living in the same country and in the same economic class will find reasons to dislike eachother even in countries where ethnic tension is suppressed. Serbs, Bosniaks, and Croats lived in the same regions, were all equally poor, speak the same language, are genetically almost exactly the same, and share the vast majority of their culture with eachother, and as soon as Tito died and stopped suppressing tensions between them, they started hating on eachother for basically no reason at all and then started a war over it. There are many such cases in history where people will hate eachother for almost no reason, especially during times of scarcity or hardship. As it turns out, most people will choose their tribe over their economic class when the going gets rough.

Also, genetics is complicated as hell and sometimes simple observation of behavior has to do. You don't expect the same burden of proof when you assume that humans are all altruistic, as well, since you treat that like an article of faith for a religion.

Why? Because all the "Great White Hope"-wannabes lining up in the GOP are so cartoonishly loopy that even Heinrich Himmler himself would be embarrassed to be in the same room as them?

I have no idea what you're talking about nor do I give a shit, I like Joe Biden's policies better than the Republicans and think he's more likely to win than people who'd do better than him. Simple as.

And you failed to invade Pakistan when he was there, eh? That's pretty sloppy, fascist.

Well ya, that's because Pakistan was cooperative

Yeah, I figured you're the kind that gets off on dead bodies.

If I liked dead bodies I'd become a communist, most of the untimely deaths of the 20th century happened in the communist world after all

Lick harder, bootlicker - Papa Trump can't see his own reflection in his shoes yet.

I'm actually voting for Joe Biden

Did you figure that out before or after you endorsed the slaughter of tens of thousands of Afghans, bootlicker?

He was in Afghanistan when we invaded.

Does the thought of the US committing genocide get you all hot and bothered, fascism-boi?

Not nearly as much as when the US invaded Afghanistan and only killed 46k civilians, far lower than when the Soviets killed a third of the entire country's population in their invasion. The moral superiority of the neoliberal bourgeois world order makes my dick hard.

I'll take your word for it, fascist - the taste of shoe polish is your area of expertise. Not mine.

ya, I guess communists don't taste very much of anything after the revolution, which is why they're all sickly and emaciated

Oh, are you talking about that guy that was found in Pakistan?

I know you're a communist and therefore aren't able to understand things about the world, but you have to know that people can, y'know, move around, right?

Also... 9/11 wasn't a "terror" attack. If the US wants to play colonialist empire, it becomes a justifiable target. All of it.

By this logic, the USA should've committed genocide in Afghanistan like the Soviets did because if Afghanistan wants to play terrorist they become a justifiable target. But I'm sure you'll come up with pretzel logic to say that that's somehow not what you're saying.

Stop using terms you don't understand. You have never experienced democracy, and you know nothing about it.

The United States invented freedom, liberty, democracy, and McDonald's. I should know a thing or two about all of that.

No, Clyde... get this right - "shock therapy" was invented by the Chicago Boys in the 70s and 80s... Chilean "students" of magical capitalist grifters such as Milton Friedman. Your history is as garbage as your politics.

Who cares, the only people who actually implemented it that anyone cares about are Boris Yeltsin and his colleagues in Eastern Europe.

Then you should have no trouble providing proof of this "tribal" gene whose existence you are peddling, Clyde. I hope this won't take you long.

Look, look, look, I know you're a communist, but you have to be able to understand that genetics are complicated, right? It's not possible for me to give you one or two genes that are responsible for human psychology, there's like thousands of them that all interact with eachother to make you act like you.

I guess this is what happens when you lack the ability to comprehend anything that isn't quantifiable. Thank you, materialism!

Having tears in one's eyes is still far better than having shoe polish on one's tongue - it doesn't matter if it's over-priced shoe polish.

bourgeois shoe polish tastes better than Stasi shoe polish lmao

Again what exactly makes a women look like a women?

Plenty of things. Hairstyle, specifics regarding their types of clothing, mannerisms, etc.

What exactly does she have to do or wear to make it acceptable to you?

You know it when you see it, that's all I can say.

The point I am making is that this is not black and white. It is rather rich in that you are fine providing a trans person confirms to your idea alone of what is acceptable.

If a trans person wishes to be recognized as whatever gender they identify as, then that means that unless they carry around a sign saying "I AM A WOMAN" or "I AM A MAN" 24/7, they're gonna have to conform to society's expectations of how their identified gender is supposed to look and act. Otherwise, people will be made uncomfortable if they look like they don't belong. Most women wouldn't want to share a bathroom with someone with a beard who wears blue jeans and a tank top, and I don't want to share a bathroom with someone with a skirt and a ponytail.

Exactly what is dressed as their gender require?

That they dress how you'd expect their gender to dress

Are you suggesting transgender girl has to wear a dress or makeup or some defining cloth?

As long as women look like women and men look like men in the bathrooms, I won't bat an eye

If she decides to come to school in jeans and button shirt she must use the boys bathroom that day?

This ain't 1953, women are allowed to wear jeans and shirts now. I just don't wanna take a piss next to someone who looks like a woman, is that too much to ask?

Riiight... because the average Russian is gaining so much by this war? Just like the average USian benefited so much from the US occupation of Afghanistan?

The Russian oligarchy, which is the current ruling class of Russia and descends from Soviet bureaucrats and mobsters, did stand to benefit greatly. Russia isn't a democracy, so it's only natural that the government doesn't care about the people.

The occupation of Afghanistan was incredibly popular among the American people when it began largely because Afghanistan was harboring people who, y'know, committed the biggest terror attack in history against the United States. It only became unpopular once it turned into a slog, and the reason we took so long to leave is because our withdrawal from Iraq went terribly and we didn't want a repeat. Nobody gained much from it.

Do you mean the social programs they only have because Swedish and Finnish elites feared a Russian-style revolution so much? Those social programs?

Am I supposed to be defeated by this? Democracy works because of an agreement between the government and the people, wherein the government serves the interests of the people and is run by bureaucrats chosen by the people, and in exchange the people do not rebel against it and allow it to do government stuff. Of course democratic governments implement social programs out of fear of social instability, that's a feature, not a bug.

Russia's "shitty economic system" was created by the west's rapacious "shock doctrine" of the 90s, dipshit. Get your facts straight.

Shock therapy was invented by the former leader of the RSFSR after he overthrew Mikhail Gorbachev, in order to turn the centrally planned Soviet economy into a free market economy. In the process, it ended up creating the oligarchy, made up of former Soviet bureaucrats and organized criminals. Everyone in the Russian upper class today got there because they took advantage of the absolute garbage system used by the USSR.

Riiiight... because imaginary lines drawn on a map must (somehow) be genetically encoded in humans by some kind of capitalist magic.

Humans are wired to be tribalistic and to view land as their tribal property, and to get violent over resources during times of scarcity so that their tribe survives the winter. If you pay attention in history class, you'll see that humans have done this in some form from the stone age to the modern era. Nationalism is just human tribalism taken to the extreme, kinda like socialism is just envy taken to the extreme.

Sheesh... bootlickers gonna bootlick, I guess.

Cry about it, I guess.

It depends on what substance it is. I wouldn't try and test this theory on plutonium, but some allergenic stuff can have vaccines made for them.

Everything in moderation as long as it isn't straight up poisonous.
