The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Over my lifetime, I have actively protested over 50 times. Most in my city, many in surrounding cities and towns, and a bunch in Washington DC. All for progressive causes.

In all those protests, I’ve never seen an iota of violence.


So? How many murders have you witnessed in your lifetime? Are your (highly biased) observations of a valid statistical sample?

Yeah, no.


I recall one MAGA protest on January 6th that evolved into a violent protest and then an insurrection with several deaths, many injuries, and the destruction of government property.

I'll see your lib Tourette's LOUDLOUDNOISE with several months of violent riots by BLM and the seizing of city blocks in Seattle, WA and raise it with murdered police officers.

As I’ve mentioned previously, self awareness isn’t your long suit.

As I've mentioned previously, liberalism is a mental disorder.
