It was a metaphor for trannies. In the TNG episode, "The Host", Dr Crusher was fine with banging her trill boyfriend after his host died and the trill had to be transferred to Riker's body.

this is unusual because usually Riker was the one putting weird slimy things in other people's bodies :c

But she dumped him at the end of the episode when he moved to a female host, because even in the 24th century, nobody likes troons.

They also did a TNG ep on non-binaries called The Outcast where Riker falls in love with an alien non-binary, but it is forbidden to take on a female sex role. I hated it, because Riker acts like she is the love of his life when she is ugly af. Riker only pursued hot chicks, there's no way in hell he would go for something this this:

What are your favourite/most looked back upon political or history books? I admit, this question is simply to gain a read-list, as I'm newer to political and history books as a whole.
If you want to understand a country's culture and history, you also need to read their literature. There was a period of time where I was living in the US but I couldn't work so I spent my time reading American works to try to understand the country better.

In the space of a few months I read:

American Standard Version of the Bible
The Federalist Papers
The Constitution

After that, I read Huck Finn/Tom Sawyer, Moby Dick, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Great Gatsby, Catch 22, Gravity's Rainbow, Infinite Jest, and tons of other books that I forget the name of. Strangely, I found American Gods to be very helpful despite it not being written by an American.
 
if you win the Democratic Party primary
California doesn't do partisan primaries anymore. It has "non-partisan" or "jungle" primaries, where candidates from all recognised parties run in the same primary election. Then the top-two vote-getters, regardless of party affiliation, face off in the general election.

Louisiana does jungle primaries too.

I used to watch this guys videos every once in a while. He's some lawyer that will talk about news and happenings. This is the first video I've seen from him in a little while.

I think some of the examples he gives are a bit dumb. But overall I think he's probably right. Although I think for most reasonable people they won't need to hear this. Because they can probably intuitively understand why a civil war would be really bad.
pointless low hanging fruit video. It’s like debunking flat earthers.

“A civil war would be bad actually” has always been the super majority opinion. It’s just circlejerking and shadow boxing against an idea that essentially does not exist. Anyone who has read a history book knows war and especially civil war isn’t something you call for. War is bad

For every 70 iq retard calling for civil war there is like 20 midwits who need to write paragraphs about how actually civil war is bad (NO SHIT)

seen the same in many threads here where some glupshitto tier tard calls for civil war and then there is 6 pages of smug midwits posting about how war would be bad. And now you don’t want that bro, as if your gonna convince someone that retarded anyway

Idk it’s the same vibe as people who feel the need to debooonk obvious nonsense like flat earthers and such. Like yes you’re right but being right about self evident shit doesn’t make you smart. Constantly talking about civil war and debating its merits is taking those retards seriously which shouldn’t be done

Hello Refugees! by Tuvia Tenenbaum
"Germany, the most racist of countries less than a century ago, has for the past two years welcomed over one million refugees, more than any other European country.

To find out the secret behind this turn of character, Tuvia Tenenbom, a Jew born in Israel, presented himself as a Jordanian and was able to gain entry into many refugee camps. Living in squalid conditions in airless rooms, and with barely edible food, the refugees begged Tuvia to help them get out of the camps. When not with the refugees, Tuvia traveled through the land and mingled with the local people who shared with him that they, the Germans, were the kindest people in Europe, far superior to the "inhumane” Jews.

Tuvia Tenenbom's provocative re-enactment of the refugee reality in the middle of Europe, coupled with the rising anti-Semitism of the people who proclaim themselves to be kind, exposes the hypocrisy of the "Refugees Welcome" mantra chiming throughout the Western world."

Lmfao this is like when bookish black nerds take like Spanish colonialism or something and make it about anti-blackness. Ibram X Kendi slop for Jews.
 
Out of curiosity, for the book-readers here (since they're being mentioned)

What are your favourite/most looked back upon political or history books? I admit, this question is simply to gain a read-list, as I'm newer to political and history books as a whole. Currently reading Frank Dikotter's "The Cultural Revolution: A People's History 1962 - 1976", and have Andy Ngo's "Unmasked" ordered.

I remember posting about how Antifa reminds me of the Red Guard a few weeks ago -- and my, such a statement proves true weeks later. At the very least, our current day commies are being dealt with, even if slooooooowly... Little did I know our own politicians -- Jay Jones -- would engage in the behavior or psychopath commies, but that's what I get for having expectations for the lefties.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms (unironically)

For something more contemporary, nothing surpasses The Gulag Archipelago for me. I’ve been reading Frank Dikötter’s Mao trilogy and it’s pretty good, too.

I do see the fedposters that constantly talk about it. Or at least imply that would be what they want. I would guess half of the people doing it, are probably larping. The other half that aren't larping are probably retarded, or schizos.

it’s like clear retards like glup shitto and other pink triangles though, taking the time to actually debate the merits of civil war legitimizes those tards, just laugh at them. Laugh at anyone who calls for war of any kind without understanding the implications really.

There is a big difference the posters going

“I am legitimately worried about the direction the country is going in, in regards to political violence”

And people actually saying or implying they want war. I’ve never seen somone do this without pages and pages of pushback when it should just be. lol what a retard

It's accurate. If you read the book and look at contemporary German media at the time, the Germans used the refugee issue to absolve themselves of their holocaust guilt by contrasting their 2015 mass acceptance of refugees into Germany to the 2014 Gaza war and being holier than thou. The Germans accepted the refugees in an attempt to deal with their national neurosis and it bit them hard. Tuvia describes attacks on churches by refugees that were completely covered up by the German state in order to maintain this narrative.

It's pretty insightful and predicted a lot of the current issues that Europe faces with refugees today back in 2015/16.
 
You ever hear about how Bill Barr's father, Donald Barr, once wrote a novel about a society controlled by a cabal of elite pedophiles by way of sexual blackmail, called Space Relations. Also, Donald Barr was the headmaster at a school where Epstein worked.
You ever hear about how Bill Barr had a woman (a former US Attorney) killed this year to cover up his criminal glownigger schemes?

This is seriously disturbing shit:


Key Quotes: Patrícia Lélis, Whistleblower, Former Journalist at Howard Stirk Holdings: “It's very easy to know why I am being prosecuted and no one else. I called the FBI to report Bill Barr and Armstrong Williams."

Whistleblower Patrícia Lélis reveals how her efforts to expose a high-level foreign visa fraud network triggered FBI raids, coerced plea deals, and chilling death threats

A June 2025 text from a phone number tied to US Prosecutor Russell Carlberg to Lélis, threatens: “I know exactly where you are. I know everything you've been doing. Up until now, I've followed orders: keep you quiet, leave you breathing. I'm giving you one chance... know this, I have the power to accuse you of anything."

A Government-leaked document exposes former Attorney General Bill Barr’s ongoing, undisclosed CIA role, and a potential motive to silence Patrícia Lélis
 
I'm not going to get excited about the administration's tough talk about Antifa until I see them brutalized en masse by a government entity.
 
I'm dissapointed time and time again that actors that portrayed masculine, decisive leaders, male characters of extreme moral certainty and devotion to duty and honor, the perfect paragons of the elder, tempered man, be in real life to be softie milquetoast liberals, like Patrick Stewart or Avery Brooks.
It is far easier to playact as someone who is stern, wise, and circumspect than it is to have lived such a life as Christopher Lee who can lecture to Peter Jackson about what it sounds like stab a man on sentry without alerting their comrades to your nefarious presence.
 
She was punished by her society for identifying as female. She was the one who took the risk and expressed her feelings to him.

Who could blame her? That beard made him the man he is. ❤️
Sure, understandable that she might attracted to him, but there's no way he would have fallen for her. During the ep, they made it seem like he's totally fallen for her, and he's devastated at the end when they're parted. C'mon, now! Riker only chased after hot women.

Reminds me of the video Dan “Im gonna spread cp on 8chan” Olsen did on flat earth ears only to spend 40 minutes of the video talking about qanon. Speaking of qanon they still exist? Feel like the died after 2023.

Robert Putnam’s Bowling Alone is one of the few political books that did not become immediately outdated. It basically argues that our society is eroding and that while people still engage politically, they engage less in social activities and community participation and the other things that make up a society leading to mistrust, less opportunity, less corporation and a weakened democracy. Basically in the year 2000 he all but correctly predicted the current landscape we have today.
He blames it on suburbs and longer commutes giving no personal ties to the place you work, larger consumption of television and other media, the rise of dual income households, and a shift away from community values.

It’s a bit centrist for my liking, and to be fair it’s going off of data from 25 years ago, but it’s a good read and stays mostly accurate to today’s environment.

And while I generally dislike Michael Malice’s taste, personifies, and opinions as the ultra cringy anarcho capitalist faggot he is, The White Pill is a fairly well researched and easy to read account of the rise and fall of the Soviet Union. “Dear Reader” is also a pretty novel way to tell north korea’s history through the lens of propaganda.
Just avoid his books like The New Right and The Anarchist’s Handbook. Those are genuinely unreadable trash

I didn't find anything dumb in his video, I liked it and agree with him. I don't think I'm his target audience, but some people need to hear it. Unfortunately, I think the people that need to hear it won't watch it.

Tbf he did seem atleast kinda playfully intrigued by Diana Troi's kike-coded mother's interest in him...
