Everything we know about the topic points to circumcision being a pretty minor deal, though. It’s not as if circumcised men don’t like sex plenty; most of them do.
I will not be circumcising my sons unless they develop some kind of medical condition requiring it, and if there was an easy circumcision reversal procedure I would probably do it. But getting mad about having been circumcised reeks of mommy issues.

Well sure, blue states are trying their damnedest to ignore federal gun rights. I won’t dispute that because it isn’t wrong.
I do want to point out that, in practice, the usual anarchy-tyranny thesis will not apply. The cops are by and large able to tell who’s law abiding other than guns, and have to wish to get into a confrontation over laws they privately think are silly. Yes, some people will get unlucky- but a lot of them will get their cases overturned, either by federal court or by state level authorities trying to give federal courts an excuse for the ‘no standing’ game. If anything, it’ll be the opposite- the cops will mostly arrest for gun violations where they expect to find weed or something else that lets them keep the feds away, and red tribers who don’t otherwise break the law will increasingly ignore gun laws.

The traditional Baptist in Georgia probably wouldn’t care about gays in California if they’d let him raise his kids as traditional Baptists.
Nobody living in Georgia is going to face actual legal obstacles to raising his kids as traditional baptists anytime soon. And in practice it doesn’t seem like ultra-progressive overreach is targeted against fundamentalists or affects them very much; it’s mostly dysfunctional but upwardly mobile normies that these things get targeted against.

Who's going to pick fruit and work in slaughterhouses, hmm? I suppose you can use prison labor, but it's not like there's a bottomless well of that either and it's not well-distributed or trustworthy enough.
The poor can go back to eating rice and beans, I guess. But there isn't a scenario where meat and fruits and vegetables prices rise lower than the wages of the american poor and working class. That's assuming the wages of nativeborn workers go up very much at all; illegals mostly work in different industries(eg fruit picking) than the native poor.

RIP Coach Red Pill. Whatever you were in your life, now you are symbol and martyr
No, he's not, he's an object lesson in why you don't go to a corrupt shithole under military rule by Nazis and start advocating for the country they're in a state of total war with.
If I went to Ukraine(which doesn't seem like a great idea to me, but IDK maybe I decided to get a mail order bride or something), I would keep my opinion that Crimea is part of Russia because it voted for annexation to myself in the interest of not getting murdered or imprisoned.

There are plenty of mostly white groups that stick up for their members(lots of cultural Christian or rural groups, for example), and while progressives may not like them very much it also won’t get you canceled to join them.

Kiwi farms was regularly facilitating actual crimes, though.
Conservative normies doing conservative normie things don’t get debanked. Right wing edgelords do, but that’s not the same thing.

Protest votes that would foreseeably do nothing except draw attention to some Native American activist and telling political lies are not the same thing.

It’s just the GOP version of the Russian collusion hoax- it justifies their base’s preexisting prejudices and looks ridiculous to the opposing tribe.
Whether either is accurate is completely irrelevant.

I’m not actually defending it- I think anybody involved in gamergate on either side can redeem themselves only by entering a very strict monastery for the remainder of their natural lives. Nor do I think this pedophilia is good or defensible.
I simply do not think it’s notable that someone who made a name for themselves as an activist around gamergate is a horrible person.

Existing examples of gun laws in blue states don’t work that way, though. The cops ignore rednecks with their guns and affirmative defense to obviously illegal gun restrictions are common.

On the other hand, part of the reason the DOJ is so interested in criminalizing technical violations when trump does them is because trump tends to have terrible lawyers.

‘Lying about your political enemies’ and ‘casting foreseeably meaningless protest votes in a way that is specifically foreseen by the constitution’ are not the same thing as interrupting official proceedings while making terroristic threats(which the J6er’s did, they were chanting ‘hang Mike pence’).
Yes, there’s too much focus on J6 and ‘our democracy’. But dissimilar things are dissimilar.

Exactly, the threshold is far below trying to talk some woman into joining a harem after she's said she wants nothing to do with the whole thing.

I think this analysis completely skips over the fact that public K-12 education is compulsory.
No, it isn't. If you don't want your kids going to public school, you don't have to send them.
You are required to do something that you call education, and public schools are the lowest friction way to do that. But the unschoolers get away with it, you can too.

Same is true for 'white nationalism'. Either you care about white people, their bio-diversity, history and continued existence or you don't.
While some white ethnic groups will likely disappear due to immigration(cockney speakers I think?), white people will continue to exist in every plausible future. In fact whites will make up a decent chunk of the population of America in most plausible futures. You don't have to be a white nationalist to recognize that it doesn't require any actual changes to the way the world will likely work for white people to continue to exist in a fairly wide diversity.

...Your basic argument is that pro-gun-control politicians are not actually aiming their coordinated meanness at the law-abiding gun culture.
No, my basic argument is that pro-gun-control politicians are not capable of coordinating meanness, and don't fundamentally care enough to become capable.

I mean, given that blacks have both higher rates of mental illness and lower average iq, we can expect far fewer of them to be sensible people(hence, public drug use).

A shady member of a mildly-corrupt political dynasty based in San Francisco cavorting with an obviously off his rocker gay prostitute isn't totally implausible, especially given the dude was arrested in his underwear. And especially given that the political dynasty in question is extremely unpopular.

For faith, raised pretty irreligious, have never found any religions possible (unless you count Xunzi's strain of Confucianism as a religion), none of the churches in my area seem like a "good fit."
Have you considered talking to an actual apologist?
For family, while I do get on well with my parents and two brothers, that's the whole of our family, and it's going to end with my generation.
It doesn’t have to end with your generation. You can marry and have children.
Yes, they are, they’re just not allowed to use the words ‘gentile whites’ to describe themselves. This is because gentile whites are a heterogeneous group mostly defined by things that they aren’t- with some exceptions, homogenous groups of white gentiles are allowed to organize in their own defense. It’s tragic that white southerners aren’t, but ultimately that’s because of anti-southern prejudice and not because of race communism or philosemitism.
