So I was recently talking about the EPA trying to ban 100ll fuel, it’s the gas lots of small planes use, and has had no real demonstrated environmental issues, but is needed for blue collar people to fly and lean to fly

Anywho it went to “don’t talk politics”

The cry of the meek panty wastes of the world

Unless you live on a uncharted island, with no government, everything has some politics in it, especially fuel where the only problem maker is government

Folks not wanting to talk politics is what worries me most these days, what allowed us to break free from the British wasn’t censorship, it was a bunch of independent minded folks sitting at pubs and freely talking about how the British were fucking them over

Change my mind

That reminder is from people who don't want to spoil the party.

If so, they shouldn't have invited you.

There used to be a time not that long ago where discussing politics and religion was considered rude and inappropriate in general discussion. I would love to get back to those times again. When I get asked about what MAGA means to me, that's at the top of my list. In my eyes people at parties or other gatherings who wanna do nothing but talk politics are no different than loud mouth drunks at gatherings who just wanna fight and puke on everything.

How long have you been a US citizen?

Not sure where you came from, but the culture here is much different than commie shit holes

In the United States we have free speech so we can openly discuss such matters

I prefer to talk politics and religion as opposed to trivial small talk. The interesting things are important and the important things are interesting.

If people want to talk about useless bullshit, then I'll just go do something else that is actually useful.

Where the fuck did I say you don't have freedom of speech? You're free to say whatever you want and I'm free to judge you all I want.
 
I won't start the convo, but I won't back out of one. I'll softball my opinion until I know who I am talking to, but I dont get to talk to people much about politics anymore, but I did have an illegal come up to me and bitch about Trump about 4 months ago, I gave him an earful.

Amen to that.

I have always listened to a lot of political radio. I was listening to Rush all summer long when I was like 12, by choice. But it never occurred to me that I could only do that because those subjects were real, and had real consequences in life.

This was revealed to me when I had a short stint at an office for work once where the guys that worked there listened to ESPN sports talk radio ALL DAY. After 2 hours I wanted to bash my face on the table. After being used to listening to discussion of important world-level issues, I couldn't do it. It was endless droning on and on about a bunch of shit that absolutely did not matter. I'm sorry, but if there was ever an idiot test, listening to 8 hours of ESPN talk radio is it.

I don't have a problem with meek people unless they are playing a victims role there is not a thing wrong with quiet people either well those with only a hand full of skeletons in there meat freezer . loud mouths and braggarts top my list of people that suck but it takes


so everyone just has to be who and what they are .
 
Once upon a time the government wasn't involved in every damn thing you might happen to talk about...

Now the wormy bastards have their tentacles in EVERYTHING which turns any conversation topic into a political debate.

So if someone says they don't want the discussion to turn to politics then they should just take a vow of silence... But that's getting into religion.

For many years I believed that one way was better than all the rest. Then a really good friend and a great marksman had a long talk with me and I changed my view. It was almost like a life changing revelation.
It started the day I brought a brand new rifle to shoot at his range behind his house. The first five rounds looked like they came out of a 12ga. My friend said that I may need a different brand of ammo and I told him that it would be okay after I cleaned the barrel. Five more rounds and clean again and that repeatedly for the first box and then the barrel would be broken in. Then the second box would shoot great.
Who wants to discuss barrel break in?

I've engaged in multiple political conversations where I take the OPPOSITE position of where I stand.

I then cherry pick the worst examples of that stance and point out the flaws in the logic.

Love the looks I get when I do it with a straight face.

ie.

Defunding the police is necessary because we need to ensure that assaulters and rapists have their right to cash free bail and the ability to go after their initial victims a second time to prevent them from making a bad decision by testifying or complaining.

Knowledge should be free. It's a human right. No higher institution of learning should ever prevent an individual from learning or reaching their personal potential. Harvard and Princeton should be available to anybody that wants to go there. ALL college and university should be free. Just raise taxes on the rich, they won't even notice it. Sorry that they'll have to buy 2 McLaren's instead of 3 this year.

Immigration is a human right. The idea of borders is ridiculous as nobody owns the Earth. We have a right to live wherever we wish to. We need to build more low income housing in nicer areas because it's not fair that only the rich can have a house, vehicles, and an easy life. Everyone should have access to a safe and equitable living situation. We have so much... all we have to do is open our borders.

Abortion saves lives. Prevents women from being FORCED to give birth. Even after the baby comes out, the mother should have the right to change her mind and have it sent to biological waste. There is no difference between the minute they were inside the mother vs the minute they are outside no longer attached. It's just a clump of cells regardless of it's crying and breathing on its own.

“There is no such thing as a heartbeat at six weeks. It is a manufactured sound designed to convince people that men have the right to take control of a woman’s body.” I've memorized this direct quote. She is a pure genius.

I can argue both sides of an argument too. I don't have my identity wrapped up in being a 'conservative' or 'liberal.'

I tend to lean right, but realize that both extremes are bad.

It would be far easier to “not talk politics” if our government would stop fucking with people that just want to be left alone. Stop trying to further infringe upon, corrupt, alter, modify, or control every single segment of the our lives. Right now we are in a “cold” civil war. There is no way of interacting with others without it being influenced by politics in one way or the other.
Are you masked?
Are you distancing?
Are you carrying?
 
I don't talk politics anymore. I have my views and they can't be changed. Others have their views - I can't remember one single time in my life where discussion of politics changed any perspectives or opinions.

For me it's a waste of breath and time. Not a meek person. I just try and not engage in conversations, debates, or dialog where there is no value.

Listen, if you voted for any mainstream Republican in the past 25 years instead of Ron Paul, don't complain about the government being too big or the currency being unsound or that Americans are dying on foreign soil or that the alphabet agencies can spy on us at will. Just acknowledge your role and try to do better next time.
 
When I talk about politics Its usually like a cat plays with a ball of yarn.

Honestly dont enjoy talking politics with people I agree with.

I find talking to people just like myself, we’ll it’s not boring, but it’s not all that mentally stimulating

I have also found common ground with leftist people, black guy going to school for some race liberal BS, found tons of common ground with how the push for BLM type shit is more divide and conquer, especially citing a few things Malcom X said

Finding common ground is where change comes from

The Pauls rock, seeing how horribly Ron Paul lost years back really made me take a step back from all of this for about a year, like “fuck it”

Also interesting how it’s only Rand going after fauchi right now

Honestly, most of the time I'm pretty sure the Trout is short a chromosome or two. But, in the case of 100 octane fuel he is onto something.

Leftist hate and socialist intolerance is rampant and the thing is that to a leftist/Democrat there are no Constitutional rights or personal freedoms, they simply do not exist. When a leftist says, "we the People" they literally mean the government. The government retains all rights and freedoms and you exist to serve them and you live as long as they see a need for you. This is why 99% of all gulags and death camps worldwide are in leftist countries.

In leftist controlled Britain there is a backlog of 7,000,000 people waiting for critical medical treatment, sometimes months or years or until they die. A large segment of tourism in the UK is medical tourism, people save their money and fly to India to get much needed medical treatment from American and European trained Indian doctors who can do the same operations with higher survival rates at a fraction of the cost and with little or no waiting. The left uses medicine as a way of killing those they hate, quietly and by simply letting you fall thru the cracks. Honestly, how many hundreds of stories did you see during the covid hoax of a vaccine protester suddenly getting covid and dying at the nearest hospital. Dying from what? Covid had a 99.7% survival rate unless you posted to much shit on Facebook. Socialized medicine decides who lives and dies.

Eliminating affordable flying is yet another way to destroy a private citizens ability to move around the country unchecked and at their leisure. After 9/11 all private aircraft were required to upgrade their electronics so they could be tracked by the government at all times when in the air. You are no longer legally allowed to simply fly under 5,000 ft and stay out of each others way. Flying will eventually be harder than buying a class III weapon.

Electric cars are going to be 100% under the control of the Federal government, when and how much you can charge them is going to be under government control and where they will operate will be decided by leftists. Every Tesla reports to Tesla every night, they log your comings and goings and when and where you recharge, what stores you shop at and what you buy. They send this information to whatever socialist clearing house controls life. Another form of "meta data" controlled by the government.

Digital currency is a plan as well. Weak minded, stupid fucking millennials are already mindlessly swiping instead of using cash for 99% of purchases. If you social score drops below a certain level, you get a 30 day ban on Facebook or you post a wisecrack Joe Biden dislikes, the government could simply shut off your access to funds. Got a warrant, no more money. Tesla reports you for speeding, they debit your account. IRS thinks you are short this year............................instant debit. Pelosi thinks your retirement account is too full.............debit. Eliminating the private citizens ability to acquire and hold wealth that cannot be instantly seized is critical to creating an obedient population.

Hell, yesterday three major medical associations demanded the DOJ criminalize free speech. They demanded that the feds persecute anyone who speaks out against "gender reassignment surgery". If a pedophile school teacher has plans to ass rape your 3rd grader and convince them to swap genders so they will be more appealing to pedophiles and secretly sends them to a sex trafficker doctor for a fake vagina and you complain...............................................instant felony and a life in prison. All for refusing to allow socialist pedophiles sexual access to your grade school aged children.

The way for the evil left to succeed at this is to attack everything, all at once. People cannot defend it all so some of it will be taken over and over, bit by bit until all of your freedom and rights are gone.

They are trying to destroy everything, all at once.

I have found that leftists don't want to talk politics but they will sure inject their politics without being asked. Then when challenged on a comment or statement, they will throw some asinine retort along with "I don't want to talk politics". Then why make the comment to begin with. I've gotten tired of this BS and my filter as I get older becomes more porous. If you want to chime in, then I might as well. Is only "fair", right? They truly believe they dictate the political discourse and in many cases they do. Because they have the corporate and media backing.

We should be worried about this for sure. But too many Independents and conservatives keep their mouths shut out of fear of being reprimanded.
