I Lived Through Collapse. America Is Already There.

Your side hasn’t cared about constitutional restraint in decades.

We’re done pretending otherwise.

You don’t get to suddenly demand standards you never applied to yourselves.

You're a proponent of monarchy and theodicy, so what value does the constitution hold for you that you'd care about anyone upholding it?

Although I don't know what "side" you think I'm on, I'm on the side of the Constitution. Are you?

I'm not, and have never been on Facebook or Instagram. I'm not on X or TikTok, either. If I post a link to any of those, it's because the link was embedded in an article I was reading.

You're a liar.

Most of what I've feared about Trump has already happened, is happening, or could quite plausibly still happen.

A delusional liar that believes everything they hear or see on MSNBC, CNN, and yes, Facebook and TikTok and whatever other source of left wing propaganda you can find to consume.

You're a liar.

No. As the saying goes around here, "saying it's so doesn't make it so." I've said for years here that I wasn't on Facebook or Instagram, not that you would know that, since you don't seem to know much about people outside your range of subject interests. That you didn't know chrysostom was Catholic after his many years here and many Catholic threads here is proof of that.

What's delusional is the way MAGA don't want to admit that what the Trump administration is doing is unconstitutional, extra-judicial, and corrupt and that if Obama or Biden had done 1/100th of what the current administration is doing they'd be screaming from the walls of the Capitol building again.

You'll forgive him for his confusion.

@elohiym expresses his non-Catholic view on polygamy, 2004.

Polygamy?

Bob debated a "prophet"? Wow. Usually those guys don't get anywhere near someone who can actually question them.

@chrysostom the Catholic presents HIS view, 2011.

toldailytopic: Is polygamy wrong?

On so many levels....unless you are a mormon or a muslim. For some reason they think that'd be paradise :confused: Mormons, their own planet, Muslims, 20 virgins. :idunno: Do Muslims have multiple wives? Sounds like a good way to invite premature ulcers. 20 virgins = boring x 20 (if that is...

You guys are basically monkeys with lizard brains. We don't care what you think of us.

btw any guesses yet on the word being defined here, by an LLM?

Here's the definition of a word:

“ Negative Habits and Attitudes

Ignorance: A lack of awareness or understanding, particularly regarding social issues or cultural sensitivity.
Disrespect: A tendency to disregard social norms or the feelings of others, often manifesting in rude or inconsiderate behavior.
Aggressiveness: An inclination towards confrontational or hostile behavior, which can be perceived as a lack of civility.
Entitlement: A belief that one deserves special treatment or privileges without regard for others.
Laziness: A stereotype that suggests a lack of ambition or work ethic, often unfairly applied to marginalized groups.

“ Dispositions and Values

Defiance: A rejection of authority or societal expectations, which can be viewed negatively in certain contexts.
Cynicism: A general distrust of others' motives, leading to a pessimistic outlook on social interactions.
Materialism: An excessive focus on material wealth or possessions, sometimes seen as a lack of deeper values or priorities.

“ It's crucial to note that these traits are not inherent to any group and can be found across various demographics. ”

Guess the word.

It was ChatGPT 4o-mini or something like that, if that helps.

No. As the saying goes around here, "saying it's so doesn't make it so."

That's my saying and is simply, "Saying it, doesn't make it so."

I can't prove that you into social media like you're into breathing but I very definitely believe that you are because of the lunatic things you say.

I've said for years here that I wasn't on Facebook or Instagram, not that you would know that, since you don't seem to know much about people outside your range of subject interests.

I don't know anything about you because you never write anything worth the time it takes to read it.

That you didn't know chrysostom was Catholic after his many years here and many Catholic threads here is proof of that.

Quite so. I do not respond to people here (mostly) I respond to the things that are said. Most of the people here are anonymous avatars as far as I'm concerned. Those that aren't know who they are.

What's delusional is the way MAGA don't want to admit that what the Trump administration is doing is unconstitutional, extra-judicial, and corrupt and that if Obama or Biden had done 1/100th of what the current administration is doing they'd be screaming from the walls of the Capitol building again.

This is just more evidence that you're drowning in social media and MSNBC-style propaganda. Your mind is broken. You haven’t lived long enough, or thought deeply enough, to realize that when you abandon objective truth, reject sound reasoning, and refuse to think past the end of your own nose, you’ll start finding whatever "truth" you want to find. And once that starts, it becomes all you ever see. You convince yourself more and more that you're the clear-headed one, when in reality, it’s your own stupidity feeding the delusion. You know the degradation of you mind is complete when you begin to see the normal people as insane and start accusing them of doing the very thing you've built your whole worldview on.

You instinct here will be to flip what I just said back onto me.

The difference is that I have and actually use everyday the ONLY means anyone has of discerning truth from error.
