Nobody who complains about NFL players taking a knee during the anthem stands up for it at home

It was a while back (Page 12 out of 19, according to my settings), but I'd like to ask a question to clarify something.

"Universal Basic Income". Is that something that other countries have that the United States doesn't, or was it just wishful thinking in general? I'm of the mindset that if there is a problem with US policy in certain regards, it would be best to look at the policies of other countries for ideas on how to adjust things. For instance, looking at other countries that have been marked as some of the best educational systems in the world while considering the educational system and it's failings in the United States.

One thing that I know from experience (correction: not personal experience, but from close friends and family) is that it's difficult to get a job to get out of needing welfare when the money gotten from welfare is more than what a minimum-wage job earns. Getting a job would actually make it more difficult to support a family in that type of condition than just staying on welfare.

People are experimenting, but people don't really know how to redistribute wealth. If you have to much wealth equality that will screw things up, businesses will shut down and people will starve. Looking at other Countries can help but every place is different and has different needs. Thats why theres debates in the first place since no one really knows. Some people are afraid of raising wages too much, whatever that number is, and people suffer from it. In extreme cases create policies that will lead to death.

not necessarily
you could always get a job and have welfare assistance also.
to qualify for welfare alone you are required to proof applications of jobs as well.

Free Governmemt Money Keeps the Peasants Pacified!

Not getting beaten or killed by cops keeps the peasants from revolting.
Being treated like humans keeps the peasants from revolting.

I sincerely hope you understand that in the eyes of the elites, you too are a peasant. The aim of the top economic teir is to keep us busy fighting and arguing with each other so we don't disrupt the established order. Congratulations, your posts are not funny or useful. You are part of the problem.

If by "pacified" you mean "given the financial tools to do what they love (ideally) while not having to worry about starving themselves or their loved ones due to lack of suitable income because of either location or circumstance," then

Yeah

For once we agree on something, and I couldn't agree more. I've always found it amusing when people try to say the lower class are peasants and taunt people over it. If you're not an elite, you're a peasant to them. Simple as that. Just a pawn that gets them money. Slightly unrelated but that's also why I think console wars are fucking stupid. No company is gonna give a shit what brand you dedicate yourself to.

We agree on quite a few facts, just this time we agree fully, 100% on opinion as well.

You can't agree or disagree on facts. You can only accept or deny them.

Ok we accept a lot of the same facts. Same difference.

Man, you like going out of the way to be more difficult than is necessary.

So i'm still trying to figure out why Black Men are shot more then Black Women. What are they doing differently thats causing them to get shot more. Maybe the B.Men should look at what the B.Women are doing and copy that so they wont get shot as often. Or do cops just hate men so much that no matter what they'll do they will get shot. Because really cops are more racist and sexist to B.Men then to B.Women.

If cops were racists against Blacks then they would kill B.Men and B.Women equally. But some reason they don't. Is it because Men carry guns more often so cops can use the self defense excuse? But then why are the Men carrying more guns then Women? Is it because they are in Gangs more? To defend against racist police? If this was true, the fact that the Men carry guns more then Women, then means cops are more sexist against the Men, which then means then they need to carry guns and not the Women.

Gender is more of a factor for getting shot, but some reason no one is forming "Male Lives Matter" protests for something that is worse then race. Why is race clearly visible to everyone, but gender is clearly invisible? Isn't ignore B.Men the reason people complain that nothing gets solved and call it racism. Then doesn't that same logic apply to gender and should be called sexism. Except race gets way more attention then gender, so sexism for gender is worse then racism. People will do a lot for these B.Men and help them if they look at it from a gender perspective. To find out why Men get shot more, and find ways to avoid that.

Or is it Toxic Masculinity? Which explains why B.Men are shot more. And White men more then White Women. And cops are saving us from these Toxic Males by killing them? So they deserve to get shot because they are more violent. And racism amplifies B.Men to be targeted more. But if they are more violent because they are Toxic Men, then they deserved to get shot and killed because they were a threat, and racism then is not why they get shot. It only explains why Whites get shot less. So then the Racism is that less White People are killed. So we should promote killing more violent White People to make things less racist. And BLM should not protest stop shooting Black people (because why wouldn't you kill violent B.Man thats a threat), they should protest kill more violent White Men.

those cases of people getting shot are less than 99.999% of all the stuff police do. and when that white guy got shot in the vegas hotel for trying to pull his pants up, most f the responses were 'lol kill that white bitch' same responses to when the white woman got shot by that racist Somalian cop. double standards. stick to football.

Something seems off. I'm guessing people are ignoring gender because it contradicts their belief that Women have it worse in society. It creates cognitive dissonance. People say Cop killing blacks is the epitome of structural racism and oppression in society against blacks. Then doesn't Cops killing more White Men and Black Men then Women mean its structural sexism and oppression in society against men.

So either the BLM movement is filled with a bunch of nut cases. And the Black Men deserved to get shot because they were more violent, and men are more violent. So then its not the result of Sexism or Racism. Or there is actual racism for getting shot, but that must also mean you have to accept their is sexism and oppression against men. If you protest one but not then other then it contradicts your own beliefs. And should people take you seriously if you contradict yourself?

the only egregious case was when the guy who took care of special needs people got his leg shot when he followed all the rules, everyone else tried to quickly reached for something.

white people once marched in protest because a black guy got shot, without knowing the details, turns out the guy was in the act of trying to kill his girlfriend lol white people...

Statistics indicate that males, no matter the skin tone, are more violent than females.
That being said, the whole gender thing (or lack thereof as the case may be) is a can of worms best addressed in a different thread.

It's absolutely not, everyone that I've ever talked to will readily recognize that there is a gender issue biased towards males. But again, it comes back to an issue of race, and you have to follow a thread back to get to it; in impoverished communities, it is very difficult to get into secondary education on an academic scholarship because schools don't have the resources to help kinds advance to an "exceptional" level. That combined with the facts that in impoverished communities there is little entertainment other than playing outside doing things like shooting hoops, and the fact that the pre-civil war slave trade effectively narrowed the genetic pool down to those that were capable of throwing around twice their weight like it was nothing, we end up with a black male population that effectively end up playing football from high school onwards, and because of their genetics, those guys get BIG. They could be the nicest guys you'll ever meet, but it would seem that in the end, trigger happy police officers only see a black man that looks like he could kill them with his bare hands without breaking a sweat

Say what you want, Jewish people show signs of genetic change due to trauma from the Holocaust that is passed down generationally. Something tells me the same applies in this case

If you want to link me to an academic article supporting your claim, though, be my guest. I recognize that my claim is mostly anecdotal, but from what I understand, that is the case
