The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"TRUMP!" doesn't run those nations. Please --- keep ignoring culture decay. Family structure decay. Lack of civics heritage and understanding. Digital culture run amok. Multiculturalism run amok. Don't even give it 10% consideration. "Pass a plan". ""pass a law" "boycott" something --it's all working great so far.

They just can't.

When you live in the bubbles that they live in and only absorb the curated world views that they do - AND you subscribe to the High Church of Progressivism that they all belong to - you get the posts you're getting in this thread.

The High Church of Progressivism has Commandments, too, you know. One of them is Thou Shalt Not Ever Question the High Church. Another is Thou Shalt Never Criticize the High Church.

It's all very...Soviet...of them. Back in the day if a road went unfixed for 10 years you weren't supposed to say, "Hey, that road needs to be fixed and it's been 10 years" because if you did you were

a) Criticizing the state (see that 2nd commandment)
b) Questioning why the state hadn't fixed the road (1st Commandment)

...and by doing so, you were questioning the very legitimacy of the state itself. Since the Soviets didn't take too well to criticism eventually nobody ever complained.

So it is with today's libs. With the road example you'd have to pretend that the road was supposed to have a sink hole in the middle of it. In the context of this thread the left pretends that the r@pe gangs in the UK don't exist and that you won't be arrested for making jokes on Facebook. They just can't face what their movement is and the damage it's done writ large around the world. It's much easier to just claim that everybody else is a racist.

As such Labour and Labour-lite (the Tories) got pasted last week. Listening to Keir Starmer it sounds like he wants to take his entire party down with him. Good riddance. May the democrats here suffer the same fate.
