The average American knows all about izzat and jugaad. they are two ancient and core tenets of heritage Ulster Scots-American culture
Replying to @thederds @Jomboy_
Thatโ€™s the biggest problem with this discourse is that the average American has no clue about izzat and jugaad, and they donโ€™t understand that engaging with Indians on this topic is a pointless endeavor

Could not have a better demonstration of the need for abundo-socialism at this moment in time.
"Do you worry [Abdul El-Sayed] is a bit too left wing to win in Michigan?" Michigan voter "At this point what do we have to worry about? Anything but what we have. We're on our way to hell so at this point socialist, socialise, social, dont matter to me, lower my cost of living"

Some of y'all wake up and the first thing y'all do is listen to an album called "Fag Patrol" by a band called "Xiu Xiu" and then wonder why nobody loves y'all

If the Interior Minister of Japan started committing war crimes with our tax dollars we'd get to know him.
NYT's Bret Stephens whines that Democrats know "Smotrich and Ben-Gvir" but not "the interior minister of Japan." Their "obsession" with Israel drives him "crazy." (Being politically informed on Israel is now anti-Semitic.)

Before it was legalized you had to have this conversation with a guy who was really into Tool every time you wanted to buy weed
JUST IN: Joe Rogan proposes putting world leaders in a room together on psychedelic mushrooms to end wars & achieve global denuclearization.

this is one of my least favourite braindead talking points that centrists on here have latched onto. being trans isnโ€™t the same calculus as black people made working with LBJ because he was passing civil rights bills and turek wants to take away the healthcare we already have
LBJ worked with avowed racists and was slinging slurs every day and he passed the Civil & Voting Rights acts. Sometimes, you gotta talk a little differently than youโ€™ll act.

very funny sequence: >"Making fun of Cheesecake Factory is for Cosmopolitan Globalist Snobs" >"Saddam Hussein + Cheesecake Factory joke is orientalist" >"Cheesecake Factory itself was founded by white cosmopolitan Sufi larpers and its design has orientalist elements"

Stop understating this. A trans Hyde Amendment is less like denouncing gay marriage in 2006 and more like denouncing antiretroviral therapy for HIV patients in 2006.
If this was 2006 Josh Turek would be taking about defending traditional marriage. If this was 1956 Josh Turek would be talking about keeping white and black kids to their own spaces. He would be just as spineless in any era, itโ€™s how he is. Nobodyโ€™s free until everybodyโ€™s free

i think it's rational to let go of "Vote Blue No Matter Who" when a candidate spends a ton of money airing the "Fuck you! and your friends!" commercial you see, it was never going to end with conceding on sports
#IAPol: "No Iowan should face discrimination. As a Paralympian, I also know it's important to have rules. It's why I oppose males competing in female sports ... I'm against taxpayers paying for sex changes, too." Josh Turek is up with a new #IASen ad. Future reservations: ๐Ÿ”ต$18.0M ๐Ÿ”ด$15.5M
