Lol seriously. I see so many people say “TDS” and I’m like “thats not a real thing its just something some pundits made up.”

Masculine trait in our culture. Not every culture has been a patriarchy and I’m sure many didnt care which gender was tough when survival was so difficult.

Absolutely had to be a factor. Pain and the evidence of it is a right of passage into adulthood, it shows strength, discipline, perseverance. This would absolutely be attractive to many ancient cultures. I’m sure the reasons were different depending on the society though.

But at least one of them had to have been to impress the local chicks who thought piercings were sexy.

I mean it did for me. So probably.

I’m into women my age. And I’m kind of old now so. Yes.

Probably the same reason I did it. They saw the hot ancient goth girls in the smokers corner and wanted to impress them.

They used to lynch traitors.

The people downvoting us are the kind of “violence never solves anything” idiots that will do nothing but impede positive progress for society.

Understand that you will not be able to take over that party by voting alone. At least acknowledge that. Because the way you talk about it makes me think that the US is absolutely a lost cause when this is how their “leftists” speak.

You’re absolutely right. I’m so sick of American liberals saying “oh we’d prefer a leftist but we gotta go with this guy oh well what do you do”

Like dude, theres lots you can do. But when I suggest those things they’re all excuses and cowardice.

If you DON’t think Newsom is evil then I do not trust you and see you as an enemy to actual positive change.

They aren’t even all that funny to be honest.

Exactly. Americans need to do something else because there isn’t any voting their way out of this. Keep voting democrat, but know that it wont actually fix anything. It’s not meant to.

I have my own.

I will absolutely be doing everything in my power to do my civic duty of killing at least 8 American invaders before I am killed.

Newsom is unelectable and will not beat Trump or a Trump surrogate in the next federal election, and will not do anything to fix what Trump has done if he does get elected. It doesn’t matter how much voter shaming you do. Understand this, please, for the love of God. I do not want my country to have to go to war against yours.

Okay but I absolutely can point to the democrats losing elections against objectively unpopular republican candidates in federal elections.

How many times do you guys have to lose against Trump before you realize that the candidates you’re backing aren’t electable? You haven’t even tried a candidate that is true bonafide leftist.

Except mamdani. Who won his election.

Stop saying that bullshit nonsense. He is not “good”. We don’t demand perfection, we demand that these people don’t be genocidal right wing fascist light.

I hate whatever pundit told you all to say “dont let perfect be the enemy of good.” It makes me feel like I’m talking to a bunch of programmed robots.
