Simple question: if the audience is bigger at Stormfront, would you post there? If not, why not?
Look, either you think there are moral lines or you don't. If you don't, that says something pretty bad. If you do, asking why you think X falls on the right side of that moral line is fair.

Evangelicals are Christians.
Christianity has a lot of subdivisions.
Christians have literally fought wars over which subdivision is the correct one.
We literally have freedom of religion here because the founders didn’t want to deal with Old World Christian vs Christian conflict.

the overseer of project 2025 is telling you out loud that every inch you cede on trans rights is part of the plan to create a white christian fascist state
Kevin Roberts, President of The Heritage Foundation, claims that evidence suggests a correlation between undergoing Trans Medical Care and acts of violence.
He states Heritage's public policy solution is to ban it for all ages and they're willing to work towards this goal on an incremental basis.

PCs are field agents in charge of finding and dealing with arcane occupational safety violations. That six-sided summoning pentagram? Flagged. That storeroom where the universal solvent is next to the lemonade? Flagged.

Welp, time to get out of bed and start another day of desperately trying to keep my livestock alive and the pipes thawed out. The snow doesn't re-start for 24 hours. I have to manage to get to the feed store and get pelleted/chopped forage because I'm down to 3 bales hay.

one reset I'd personally appreciate: behind the insistence that we must offer the electorate a little bigotry is the idea that commoners are more bigoted than the richer and more educated, who can be appealed to with high minded policy. but then you Ctrl+F "phrenology" in the Epstein files
What strikes me is that 'the volk' have incredibly incoherent and everywhere ideas, but the people who claim to speak for them in the press are like clerics who think there are two poles for all politics and everything must fit between them. These poles are like, eight inches apart

I give more of my net worth to the homeless on the street in an average year than Elon Musk has given to anyone, ever, in all forms of charity combined, over his entire life.
Fascinating chart with one outlier: Warren Buffett.
At the low end, giving 0.06% of one's wealth is equivalent to:
Net worth -> Lifetime Giving
50K->$30
100K->$60
500K->$300
$1M->$600
Most folks give far more by % in a *single year*.

Yes. I took this approach with my boardhost message board back in the early 2000s, with people who wanted to argue about LGBTQ+ people’s right to exist. To argue is to accept an unacceptable frame. You wouldn’t waste time discussing if the number two represents three apples or if red is really blue.
I am more and more convinced that when cis people want to debate whether trans people get human rights, the only correct response is "I don't treat whether or not people get human rights as a debate topic or hang around people who do" followed by leaving.
