the world’s slackening grip on reality

Journal by c0lo

(in the loving memory of Runaway1956, who succumbed after a long battle to gatewaypundits. May his brain rest in peace, squeaky clean and smoothed over)

because "Doing your own research" is far easier nowadays than building the habit of thinking critically.
Add COVID-anxiety, a chaotic narcissistic Orange clown and compound with the lack of survival problems to solve for the everyday life in a westernized society and (where appropriate) a good dose of American exceptionalism.

    I dont really care about abortion, but Ive seen it lead to severe depression and mental issues that last for decades.

    I say do Kanye's solution. Give the mom an incentive not to do it, ie $50k/yr or $1 million until they turn 18.

    If you don't care why are you incentivizing anything?

      Maybe because it is bad for her mental health when a mom kills her own baby? Isn't that what I wrote?

        Maybe some moms wouldn't be killing their babies if they had birth control. And could afford birth control. Or could afford to even care for and feed a baby -- while having a job.

          Did you even read what you are responding to? Or can you only parrot talking points that dont apply?

        But if that baby was Kanye, would it not work in reverse? I don't understand.

        Much better for the woman's mental health to keep the baby, and kill the father! Bite his fucking head off like a Royal Preying Mantis Momma! Yeah! You Rock, girl! So, the problem is not so much that we need to outlaw abortion, as we need to legalize any woman killing any fucking man, because he has it coming. Peace, at last. We start with the Catholic Priests, follow up with the tele-vangelicists, and finally end with ex-President of Liberty (alleged) University, Jerry Fallbad, Jr. Something about strangling the last something, with the entrails of the last other thing? It's famous. Look it up.
