  1. In the 2020 election, president Trump got record numbers of minority votes and is successfully the most popular Republican among minorities in history. While this is cause for celebration... it isn't successful enough in my honest opinion, especially because a lot of minority concerns go ignored, or because minorities can be so hostile towards whites or institutions they see as white... at least when they vote. 

     

    I don't think many conservatives post on this forum anymore. I am welcome to hear from the more "progressive" posters - who may think themselves left, but just want their concerns addressed before they could vote republican. 

     

    I also want to address minority concerns about everything political. Do (you) or minorities you know vote mainly because of historical grievances? Or is there something the Republican party does that you don't like? I'm sure that Trump will go away, but there will be lasting influence of his movement on the party. I want to do official Republican party organizing, but don't know the correct ways to solicit support or make the messages appeal to people. I also don't know how to deal with the problems of racism in the party, mostly due to the trump movement, and the paranoia. 

     

    And when I say "race issues" - I don't just mean racism or collectivism, or anything like that... I mean any issues that come up to you that may impact your well being as a minority.

    Exactly. For generations we've had multiple platforms from Nintendo and Sony. Did we split Sheep into a Nintendo DS faction and a Wii faction or Cows into a Vita faction and a PS3 faction? Of course not, Sheep are Nintendo fanboys. Cows are Sony fanboys. Lemmings are Microsoft fanboys. Windows is a Microsoft platform.

    You owned a whole faction of the forum, as well as the logic this site was created with.

    Windows is a Microsoft product. Xbox is a Microsoft product. Nobody blinks at calling cross-gen Sony or Nintendo games "exclusive", so I'm going to hold the fanboys to their logic. If it's on Linux or MacOS, fine, not exclusive, otherwise exclusive.

     

    Those are the rules here. I don't care what the fanboys want.

    It's a pretty lame talking point when Xbox puts its games on a windows only PC, and the other fan boys are like "There's no exclusives." Lmao. Do they not realize an xbox is a computer like the PC is? 

  4. Since every gamer knows videogames are becoming more progressive (The challenge is Japanese games). Is every gamer looking forward to the coming Trump games?

     

    We have Nazi games, Castle Wolfenstein, COD, Battlefield, Day of Defeat,  Company of Heroes, probably a bunch of others.

     

    We need Trump games. I can think of the names:

     

    Castle Wolfenstein: America First

    COD: MAGA

    Indiana Jones: Orange

    Company of Heroes: CVille

    Battlefield 2020

     

    If this happens, I would be so happy, play everything, and enjoy it and laugh.

    Sorry, answer the question, or explain why my reply is stupid.

     

    I told you to look at military spending percentage within taxes, and you went and compared it in relation to GDP, which is something different.

     

    Looks like your shitty bait thread has failed on you.

    This is indeed not my image, man, but the image just shows a pie chart that compares what we spend on stuff compared to other things. GDP is one part of the information on the picture.

    Why are you posting GDP?

     

    Taxes isn't GDP, you do know that, right?

     

    Why don't you show the chart of military spending from the tax revenue that's collected.

     

    So................you really are stupid, or you are intentionally posting with a pre-determined agenda. Well, we already know that, since you posed a question that you usually see from a"this-guy-i-use-to-know-from-high-school"'s facebook feed.

    unreal how stupid this reply is

    Obamacare still remains expensive because its still insurance through PRIVATELY OWNED, FOR-PROFIT INSURANCE COMPANIES.

     

    Universal healthcare is more efficient, and therefore cheaper.

     

    So..............you're basically asking "how does America work" because you don't anything about how any of this works?

    If you're middle class in America, you pay $20,400 a year. 

     

    What do you get with that amount? 

     

    For comcast cable's service email.png.4830ab90ffe16dd29b0d5dfb86e0bc15.png

     

    It costs 2,400 a year, and that's for the best internet you can get for like a family. 

     

     

    I tried to just google health insurance obamacare, but my professor told me he pays 20,000 for health care for his moderately large family because obamacare is so expensive. SO it's like a double tax, like $40,000 if you're a middle class person in a major american city.  That leaves you 60k for everything else. Pretty good for lame gamers who just buy videogames, but difficult for people who raise a family, buy a house, own a car, and save up to start their own business (or even retirement).

     

     

    So what do you get? What's so great about taxes?

    You're typing on internet that whose high-speed fiber-optics lines were installed with those taxes.

     

    And, no, you don't have high taxes. Its even higher in Europe. Where they have universal healthcare.

    I believe I have cable internet from comcast.

     

    Anything else? anything at all? My dad pays $2000 a month in taxes, that's quite a lot. 

  10. I understand that this forum had some problems with racism in the past, but I think the forum's transphobia went unaddressed. There are historically several trans people on SW, and they refuse to post on this forum because of the transphobia. I don't think we will ever win them back, but we need a more trans accommodating culture anyway.  

     

    This isn't a thread to shame and blame people, though. Instead I wanted to discuss our cis privilege. I date a lot of transgender people and they constantly tell me that buying clothes in real life is a problem, especially at first, because the men's and womens clothing are so branded and segregated. Half of that is an appealing thing, but our culture is so transphobic that they constantly just feel blame just for shopping. Using the restroom is even harder, which is why a lot of places in Portland try to make desegregated gender neutral bathrooms. 

     

    Do you ever talk about trans issues or cis privilege? Ever think about it? I'm glad I can order my clothing and years and years of measurements and style were made to make me look good... because I wear male clothing.

     

    You guys understand it? discuss in the thread.
