^ This!
Pride isn't exactly one uniform thing. There are different kinds of pride.
Selfish pride, for example, is bad; basically, where you're taking something and using it to elevate yourself above others.
Grateful pride, as in, "I'm so proud of my children because they have grown up to be fantastic. Thank you God for your goodness!" is good. It is not a sort of pride in which one is seeking to put themselves above others, it is simply an expression of joy at accomplishments or a state of affairs.
Arrogance is also closely tied with pride; that kind of pride and that arrogance itself is not good.
Perhaps it is concerning, but I think a much greater indicator would be word choice, sentence structure, and general writing style.
Take a lot of pseudo-intellectual left-wing "journalists", for example. They often write awfully, but comb trough word by word dressing up their entire writing with a thesaurus.
Shit like "In actuality, one person's leer at another may indeed bring about one or more microaggressions. One might estimate the capacity for an affront is significant." tells you everything you need to know. Honestly, the best test I've seen is to try to speed-read it. If it reads cohesively and non-abrasively, it has been well written. Most people with higher education will be well-experienced at writing, and will probably write pretty well.
With all of this in mind, I've read through it all again. It seems decent, though not perfect. I'd say it's within the realm of writing I would expect to see from a PhD. That said, I don't think it is astonishingly high-quality. There are several mistakes in grammar and spelling and there are a couple of general writing flaws. Nothing significant to signal a red flag in my eyes, but this writing also doesn't, on it's own, inspire any particular confidence in my eyes.
^ Mostly agree.
They might be the smartest in the room, but they are not the most emotionally stable. Emotional instability clouds judgement, nullifying whatever their intellectual superiority may or may not be.
Most of the "stable geniuses" I've ever seen or met are people that might very well recognize or suspect they are the smartest in the room, but largely don't give a fuck. Most people have an intellectual capacity great enough to understand or do anything they'll need to. Our problem as a society in general isn't mental deficiency in the form of low IQ, it's emotional instability associated with extreme indoctrination practices. Regardless of their IQ, their judgement is thoroughly clouded and impaired, and the dishonest prey on that ceaselessly.
Also, there's a quote from someone, I don't remember who. Maybe it was Einstein? It goes something like "A master at a subject can teach it to a child". Raw IQ is worthless without proper "usage" and utilization. If someone really is the brightest in the room, or really is a genius, and they have utilized this effectively, they will have only minor difficulties dealing with even severely IQ impaired individuals.
^ The Pilecki report is a prime example - the Polish underground went to great pains to collect the information for the report and send it to the West. The allies more or less ignored it until they couldn't.
And that isn't even looking at the Axis.
The July thing is just more dumb datefagging probably, though. The lefties love datefagging from or for us because it makes us look stupid.
The rest, though... sounds pretty accurate. IDK about "Trump is the chosen one" - chosen by who? God? I don't know if there's a way we could really ever know that for sure, seems like a little bit of an iffy thing to say. A good man to be sure, maybe chosen by God to do this path, but I'm not about to go calling Trump "the chosen one" or "our lord and savior" unless it's mostly jokingly (Like the old "GEOTUS" thing).
Well a lot of people have accused ron/his dad over the years of hijacking it and so on. Maybe in a desperate attempt to get attention they somewhat have? Idk, but I don't trust them and i don't trust this.
Hell, why does it even matter? What more is there to tell us? No comms during ops?
It doesn't pass any level of the smell test. That, and too many leftists have been talking about attempts to hijack it because of how "the quanons are so gullible".
DS has a lot of money and access to top level hackers. I'd imagine it wouldn't be that hard for one, especially with access to government tools, to bust in and mess around.
EH to be fair, you'll hire criminal defense attorneys if you're being accused of the crime, and any world view you prescribe to they'll be accused of a crime (either the audit is "rigged" to incriminate them or the audit is finding their crimes to prosecute them).
Personal experience: It's totally fucked in every way, bottom to top.
Good doctors and nurses do exist, for sure. Good research and good medicines exist to be sure. In general most procedures tend to be pretty solid. Financially, however, it becomes an entirely different ballgame of corruption between government (fed and states), insurance companies, hospitals, and much much more. Don't forget that Obamacare raised many people's premiums, etc. to 30-50 thousand dollars. Absolutely batshit insane.
I mean I honestly don't think it takes snow nazis or aliens, just an understanding of the mentality that many corrupt people have: "If I can't have it, nobody can".
Then it clicks - if we do enough damage to the deep state to neutralize their threat, they will be backed into a corner where the choices are blow it all to hell (nukes, bioweapons, etc.) or surrender. Which do you think they'd pick?
Then it makes sense. Movement has to be perfect and precise or they'll blow the whole planet to the stone age.
Then you get the wider public. So many of them are totally clueless for so many reasons. Major changes alert them, but don't necessarily lead them to truth. Many are indoctrinated to fight and die to protect the deep state and it's values. These people must be eased into the adjustments or you get mass casualties.
When you game through enough scenarios, it adds up more and more.
If team Q wants this to go as peacefully as possible they would avoid this at all costs, seems like common sense. To be clear, not advocating for this myself, but I would imagine that would be the final tipping point for a lot of conservatives to go hot war.
Who knows, but it seems like an atrocious play.
^ They probably passed it because they know that they can just do it here now and not worry about it without oversight from Trump.
I mean, from an outsider perspective. That's assuming no 5D chess and no Q, though, so it's very likely not the real take. I don't think we have any way of knowing for sure what's really going on, though, so that's the best take I've got.
Jokes on you, many liberals don't drive anyway.
Many don't leave their communes, so they can get by on foot. Many use public transportation. Many just uber/lyft/etc. everywhere because I guess it makes them feel better about themselves sticking it to the man? lol
Bingo. Stratifying classes of citizens is exactly what they want to do because it enables infighting among those classes.
That's what illegal immigration is all about; don't give them legal status, just give them similar stuff, and keep them as second class (or first class, who the fuck knows anymore) citizens.
There is more nuance than that. Your daughter taking pride in her good grade can be harmful depending on the kind of pride.
Self-righteous pride (as in "I'm so much holier than everyone else") is one of the most dangerous ones. Pride comes in many forms and often with the company of other vices like arrogance.
I'm not saying you're being negatively prideful here, but the way you're responding to OkieBowhunter and other people not agreeing with you completely does seem somewhat arrogant or prideful.
I think pride isn't so much a problem perhaps as a lack of humility. It's often better to passively preach or lead by example than it is to aggressively send out the message, or shame, or assert some kind of dominance.
If the LGBT stuff had humility, for example, they would not be having a pride month, or shoving it down in peoples throats. They'd be living their own life on their own; dispute that as you will, sin or not it is their right as long as they are not forcing it upon others.
