you want to lower crime? Get rid of all the gun laws and fire 3/4 of the police and justice system,, close the prisons and incarcerate no one for longer than 364 days... Execute all violent criminals and habitual criminals with only 1 appeal and a speedy trail... You either release them after 364 days,, send them to a hard labor camp or execute them...

mandatory executions would be selling or trafficking drugs,,, abusing children,, rape/murder

Habitual drug use where its a drain on society,, 1 rehabilitation stint in a treatment facility and then mental institution or execution...

The people spend lots of money on "justice" and as a result they get phucked ...

Put the responsibility back in the peoples hands for their own security with support from government resources... Make it mandatory for ever household to have a machine gun and military training on hand at the ready,, train the people to shoot to kill when it comes to their security and property...

Crime will drop by 95%,, and the people will be happy and safe not to mention self empowered and independent...

Beyond hilarious! But an excellent example of why engagement here is largely a waste of keystrokes.

Limited engagement here over the past 2 weeks due to being out of town and my computer in the shop for the past week, limiting me to an ancient relic and 1-finger typing. The other reason, as I mentioned before is that engagement here is largely a waste of keystrokes.

I agree that I am not right all the time and change my opinion often enough when presented with "clear, cogent, and convincing evidence." It is not clear to me that my opinions of Kirk are wrong. Honestly, I don't know much about him, but my limited exposure to his "so called" debates indicate that they are anything but debates, and his "prove me wrong" exercises looked like made for him opportunities to belittle and put down folks who disagreed with him. Give me evidence to the contrary, and I'll change my opinion.

As for racism having gone by the wayside in the US, why then does Georgia reduce the number of election precinct stations in black voting districts but not in white districts? Are you sure it has zero to do with race?

Projection much? I'm not sure why you think you know so much about me. Is it because your dad and I are friends?

I'm a person of both liberal and conservative attributes. I try to refrain from projection, but it's not always easy because stereotypes generally have some truth to them. And just what are my "unacknowledged racial biases against black people that you think you know about me? I'm fairly certain that I'm aware of my own prejudices and not blind to them. How is it that you think you know? Face it, you don't. My cognitive dissonance looks to be something that you made up for the purpose of your post. The faults or failings I project on anyone tend to be supported by empirical evidence. That's how I roll.

I know you see and support ALL colors of the rainbow.

Deflection much? It looks like you got called out and instead of facing your cognitive distortions you doubled-down by continuing to argue just like I predicted you would then trying to distract by claiming to have conservative attributes.. FP provided a pretty decent analysis from everything I can gather based upon posts you’ve made here over the years. It isn’t just FP that thinks that of you. I think it as well, and probably quite a few others that post here.

You try to make yourself seem as some morally superior and educated moderate. You claim to have conservative attributes. Mind sharing what those might be? I certainly don’t see many. You also claim to be fully aware of your prejudices, but obviously you’re missing the boat there. They are called blind spots for a reason and your tendency to default to mainstream narrative of constant black victimhood and conservatives being racist is actually what makes you racist. I’ve met many blacks over the years who would be angry and offended by your beliefs. Check yourself bruh.

I’m still waiting to see these conservative attributes that Salmo has.



Streamer

Salmo's conservative attributes explained:

1. Support not just the 2nd Amendment, but the entire Constitution and all its amendments;

2. Fiscal conservatism, support a balanced federal budget;

3. Support military spending;

4. Hang horse thieves - America erred when we stopped doing this. In WA state we enable property crime by failing to penalize it. Police say that 90% of the crime is committed by repeat offenders. Therefore Salmo says if someone breaks into your house, your garage, your barn or other outbuilding, or tries to steal your car, shoot 'em. Dead criminals do not repeat offend. You don't get jail time for car theft in WA until the 7th vehicle; that is stupid!

5. Dealing with homelessness - surveys (not up to date) indicate that 90% of the homeless are drug addicts. Others are truly down on their luck - sh!t happens. Invest in drug treatment. Those who refuse treatment get the "east-side treatment." Designate 150 acres of public land in Grant or Lincoln Counties as a homeless drug user camp. Encircled by 12' cyclone fence (buried 4' deep into a concrete footing and topped with razor wire) and equipped with publicly supplied blue tarps, sani-cans, water tanks, and gov't. surplus food, and little else. This comes under the policy that making bad choices has bad consequences. Or play stupid games; win stupid prizes. Or, stupidity should hurt.

Now for the down and out, 6 months public assistance to get them back on their feet, and then it ends. A hand up, not a hand out.

And the mentally impaired: invest in asylums. WA state had them, but do gooders insisted that involuntary institutionalization violated personal freedom, which it does. If the mentally impaired do not choose the institution, they get sent to the "east side treatment." It is not society's obligation to allow mentally impaired people to wander the streets and steal for a living like drug addicts. They get a choice: asylum, "east side," or family care.

6. Aid for women with dependent children. To qualify, first name the father of each child so that they can be tagged for child support. Dead beat dads are stealing from society. Salmo's society doesn't stand for that. Mom gets daycare and education training to make her employable. If she gets knocked up while in the program, her children go into foster care, and she gets sent to "east side." Salmo believes incentives should be meaningful.

Those are the slightly conservative attributes that come to mind this morning.

I for one support Salmos program as described here. Maybe a few additions: on #5 for the 6 months public assistance, it's an interest free loan that gets paid back once you get back on your feet, even $20/month or something just so its your money you pay back. On #6 have her on some type of birth control while in this program and/or get sterilized to qualify. There is a birth control shot that works for 3 months, or a birth control implant that works for 3 years, or you get you tubes tied if society pays for your kid you can't pay for yourself.

Nice ideas you two. Now, how do we get there?

I would take a cue from Vlad Tepes III. Vlad earned his nickname "the Impaler" due to his preferred method of execution, impaling enemies and criminals on stakes, often in large numbers. Historical accounts suggest he may have killed up to 100,000 people, with thousands impaled in public displays such as the "Forest of the Impaled." He targeted corrupt nobles, dishonest merchants, and those who violated his strict moral codes. Of course in the modern days the corrupt nobles are our corrupt bureaucrats. I support term limits, one term in office and one term at the stake. I'd basically impale everyone John Galt wouldn't welcome to Galt's Gulch. Vote Tepes/Galt 2026!

I don't think Charlie Kirk is dead,, I think the whole thing was a combination of hollywood special effects and a holographic projection... I think Trumps assassination attempt in Butler was the same exact thing,, fake,, fake,, fake...

I think the same people that put on the show in Utah had already done it before in Butler PA...

Bruh, I saw the videos, hes dead.

I think your eyes and psychological programming are being used against you to make you believe something that didn't actually happen to induce specific reaction and perspective...

From the things I have seen I am very certain we saw a magic trick/show with the intent to fool... I might also add that the intent is positive and not negative,, desired outcome is also positive and not negative...

Utah and Butler PA both were a combination of hollywood special effects and holographic projection...

Its a Psychological operation,, you are watching a movie that is intended to move you from one system to another with as little disruption as possible and without you knowing,, nearly everything happening is part of a script and a good number of the characters are actors...

Remember that Trump stared in and produced his own TV show for a decade... Trump is the star of this movie and there are many co stars...

The root of it all is the legal authority to create and issue currency which is being removed from the Central Banking Cartel and returned back to the individual nations...

Pretty soon we will no longer be ruled under a fractional reserve FIAT/Debt System.. We are in the process of moving back to an asset backed Dividend monetary system backed by Gold and measured by Silver... Its likely that Platinum will also be involved...
