Can't tell you how sorry I am to hear it. 😞
Someone literally just texted me and told me to watch this. (They must be reading this thread, ha.)
I seem to be doing better with search results, using freespoke.com than the others.
It's happened before, elsewhere. Why should I not suspect it might happen here, unless I asked? Most people here have been gracious, so I feel it was okay for me to just put my doubts out there. It was cathartic and, I feel, helpful.
I'd like to find this and watch it this evening. If there's a link, I'd appreciate it, but I'll also search.
This comment is a real eye-opener. I'm just sitting here, shaking my head. Wow... it's overwhelming to get even a hint at how systematic all this is.
I can get onboard with that, thanks!
Thank you so much. This place seems much more thoughtful and respectful.
"Herd mentality"... that's the description I've been groping for. And lately it's been feeling like a stampede.
I guess the word I've been looking for about how I feel is "grieved". My spirit is just grieved". I'm thankful a platform that allows me to say it.
These are all statements that urge me to think deeper, and I appreciate it. I think it was the whole boisterous "piling on" that has been happening at PDW that has discouraged me. I need to be able to back up a little and separate the juveniles from those who have valid assertions, I see.
This place was actually recommended to me as a place of reason and level thinking. I do feel a better vibe here, I admit it.
I guess it IS silly for me to feel offended on someone else's behalf, or to feel sorry for anyone whose crime is merely born to a particular race or ethnicity and become a target. I'm white and when the whole "whites are racist" thing stirred up, all I could think was "I can only be white.... so why are other 'whites' calling me racist?"
But at the end of the day, I guess I should be less sensitive. I can always log off and regroup, right?
I'll search out Kharazian, thanks. I think that problem I've been having is the "over-all" approach, an example being literal posts such as "The only good Jew is a dead Jew." Maybe I need to also not use the "blanket" approach when I'm reading these posts, I guess.
I will look into that, thank you.
You might be right about the term being overused. I'm also not saying that a lot of the "Elite" and corrupt politicians are not Jews. I guess it's the "lumping them all in" approach I have issues with. I see your point.
I mostly lurk here, but I dreamed a few years ago that I wound up at some sort of construction zone but nobody noticed me or told me to leave. I walked up to a board fence, used to cover up what was going on inside and looked through a hole. I saw Washington, DC... only it wasn't "real". It was like a life-size diorama. There were tiny, black ant-like creatures rushing around busily. Suddenly, they all stopped and looked toward me. Then, when they all began screaming and running, I realized that they weren't looking at me, but up in the air behind me. I turned and looked up and the sky was filled with silent, huge red balloons, all moving swiftly and quietly past me and over the fence into "Washington". The creatures tried to shoot them down and throw things at them but they finally threw down their weapons and tried to hide under things. As I began to wake up, I heard Nena's 1983 song "99 Luft Ballons". I got out of bed, and looked up the English lyrics to the song: 99 Red Balloons
A few nights later, I was watching a Trump rally and suddenly, looking at the vast sea of red hats, I thought that the red balloons must be MAGA.
So.... yeah, I dreamed something. Guess I wouldn't call it a "Christian" dream, but I'm a Christian and I dream things. That's as close as I can get.
My wife used to follow this site faithfully and finally registered an account here last year, so that she could ask a question about the law of war manual. She politely and intelligently asked her question and was promptly rewarded with a message that she was "permanently banned". We were both dumbfounded. I moved on to post over at Patriots, where no one seems to be threatened by questions but she just shrugged and moved on. A shame; she only wanted to be educated on a particular matter and thought that people here could help her with that. Instead, she was catapulted right out. She's never read this site since.
I read somewhere recently that Walmart was involved in a similar settlement.
