everything the cia says is true AND there is a dang CHEETO in the white house

it links to this excerpt of a much longer article

The Black Panther Party was a communist Black militant organization founded in 1966 that allied with extremist New Left organizations such as Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and communist regimes abroad.

One historian described Panther members as “a cross-section of young African Americans, some who were law-abiding and sincerely interested in being of value to the Black community, others who had no qualms about breaking the law if it could be rationalized as a revolutionary activity, and still others who were just plain ruthless and criminal.”

Another history states that 9 police officers were killed and 56 wounded in violent confrontations with the Panthers

another, more telling article by this freedom-loving, "fiercely independent" think tank:

Environmentalism is nearing retirement age

In its youth, the now-wealthy environmentalist movement helped save the bald eagle from extinction. But now it’s an anti-energy movement that wants to chew up the environment.

Today, the movement Rachel Carson supposedly started rakes in billions of dollars annually, and it uses the loot to oppose nearly all forms of energy that don’t spin a wind turbine or heat a solar panel.

these weather dependent sources of energy also—ironically—harm wildlife.

So, the modern environmental movement supports eagle slaughtering, inefficient wind turbines that chew up hundreds of times more of the environment than reliable energy such as nuclear. This is a “you had one job” moment, and they’ve been failing.

Stupid rich and no longer doing their job. Yeah, it’s time to retire.

about the organization:

About Us

Capital Research Center (CRC) was established in 1984 to promote a better understanding of charity and philanthropy. We support the principles of individual liberty, a free market economy and limited constitutional government: These are the cornerstones of American society.

it's not clear to me what exactly InfluenceWatch is or what their relationship is with the "capital research center". but the latter seems to reference the former an awful lot

highlights

I think we want to avoid coupling men’s rights and issues to sexism, alt-right, Trumpism, you name it. Not that that always happens (r/mensrights f ex isn’t so bad as some people think it is) but the risk is always there.

Some people here want the sub to be for ‘moderate’ men’s advocates, or even something between r/mensrights and r/menslib. They shun every thought that even vaguely smells of traditionalism and rather avoid evpsych. I’m not one of them, but not everyone here has to be the same.

I’d like to figure out a theory how male competitiveness - AND female preferences for competitive males, this is crucial - brought us this totally insane neoliberal capitalism including limitless growth and pollution, but I never found the time to formulate it right. That would be real left wing male advocacy imho.

We're socialists, as Hitler, Gevara, Pol Pot, Stalin, Marx

The left-right divide is nowadays understood as encompassing three separate questions:

• repartition of wealth, with equality being left and disparity being right

• authority, with the right favouring more authoritarian policies such as more policing, harsher sentences or a stronger executive, and the left favouring a more reparative justice and a more pluralist political syste

• individual freedom, with the right favouring traditionnal social structures and the left prefering individual life choices (regarding sex, drugs, children...)

• I would add the outgroup-ingroup divide, with the left being more favourable to the inclusion of as many people (and/or animals) as possible in the ingroup and the right being more restricted in who they consider peers.

Sometimes "leftists" will be on the right or even the far right on some axis. Anybody who is left on any axis can have a claim to be "leftwing" and that sub reflects that well.

You can find garden variety marxists, social libertarians, anti-authoritarians, and humanists or vegetarians rubbing elbows in here. It's quite pleasant as it favours rich debate and wards off the Reddit echo chamber effect to a certain extent.

The number one reason I am a leftist (I prefer the term liberal) is equality. I think everyone should be treated equally as individuals. This is why I have a hard time supporting feminism because a lot of feminists either disregard, downplay, or even detest men’s rights.

welcome back gregor strasser

The widespread attention and condemnation of Charlie’s death, and the mass firings that are happening as well, is showing the left what we all here have known for years now:

WE ARE THE SILENT MAJORITY.

They are absolutely terrified of this realization. Terrified that there wasn’t just one Charlie Kirk, but that there are tens of millions of Charlie Kirks. They are collectively experiencing what can only be described as an existential crisis triggered by massive cognitive dissonance.

A cry of a group of people who for so long have operated with smug impunity, punishing and shaming people for extolling the freedoms this great nation was founded upon.

Look at the front pages of Lemmy and Reddit. At this very moment, they are DESPERATELY and PATHETICALLY trying to drive a false narrative about the coward who killed Charlie and shove his killing under the rug.

They will continue to try to deflect as they have always done, avoid accountability, and hope that their lies will make this go away, so that they can continue stoking the flames of a culture war that no one wants.

That’s not going to happen. The people of this great nation see through the veil. We will continue to grow, as the left continues to self destruct.

We.

Are.

Winning.

And that scares them to their core.

lmao
