She was simply "speaking her truth"
like many others who deny reality.
Like people who claim they are women
trapped in a man's body.
Furries who claim they are animals
trapped in a human body.
In Littlefeather's case, a Native American
trapped in an Hispanic American body.

We have to stop incentivizing and rewarding
"neurodivergent" behavior.

A couple years ago, I read that in Australia, some kid in his or her early teens started identifying as a cat. And even though this behavior became disruptive in school, the school was ordered to make special accommodations for this delusional kid.

Meow, Jim. Lol

I wonder how that cat guy would be at catching mice.

A Current of Hate is Flowing from the Shadow of our Collective Consciousness



I agree with him 100%. But I will go even farther and add that, unfortunately, intolerance is not the exclusive property of members of only one group. I've seen it (and experienced it) from people of all different ethnicities and ideologies. It is a many-headed hydra of evil. And we all have the capacity for it. It is something to always be mindful of. "To what degree am I allowing myself to be brainwashed by negative influences?"

I have also met many wonderful people of every ethnicity.

IMO, most of the time, if something is being presented in the news, on social media, etc., in such a way as to negatively affect you EMOTIONALLY, then it is intended to manipulate you. Because when we allow ourselves to be ruled by our emotions, then we are easily controlled. That is why there is so much hatred and conflict coming from ALL SIDES of the spectrum. So it's up to us to think for ourselves, apart from what and how we are being spoonfed.

I watched 24 minutes of that video.

There are at least 25 million illegals in the USA and they are from every country on the globe. Sorry. I support their immediate removal. I also support the curtailing of the number of H1B visas, and students from antagonist countries like China.

Maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to get a technical support job if half of the H1B visas disappear. Then I can save my home.

This never seems to end. All countries have ethic issues because most of them displaced people, took land, conquered neighboring countries, etc. I doubt that it ends anytime soon too.

In the last 500 years I have seen this ongoing or having happened in the USA, China, Russia, India, Japan, and there are probably many many others but I am not a historian or grievance expert keeping track of all of these wrongs. I hear about it in the US because I speak English and I am in the US.

The US is not unique but most of these issues resolved themselves by around 1900.

For example, China has expanded many times and increased their land mass by 100% or more. Their issues are ongoing as they have recently taken over Tibet and want to take over Taiwan.

I did not agree with the US when it allowed in almost unlimited numbers of immigrants. I still do not agree with it. They should not be allowed to jump the line in front of those who have waited for years to do it the right way, legally. I especially believe in deporting illegal immigrants who are involved in criminal activities.

However, lately, there have been law-abiding US citizens who have been targeted by ICE. I am not going to have a political debate here, but also take note of the woman in Georgia who wrongfully sicced ICE on the hundreds of Korean technicians who were there, temporarily in the US, legally, working to set up a Hyundai factory and teach Americans how to operate the equipment, so the factory could employ thousands of American workers, which now it appears may never happen, because of their treatment by ICE. And the woman who wrongfully called ICE on the factory technicians was smirking about it, and wants to run for office .

As I have said in posts in other threads, I have never communicated with a single person that I agreed with 100% on everything.

The Hyundai issue should have been resolved by the State Dept. They should have stepped in and allowed them to complete their work.

It is a national security threat to have 25+ million people in the USA that we have no data on. Come on now. That is why I stopped listening to that video. It is silly nonsense.

Not all of what he said is nonsense.

Like I mentioned, there are people who are perfectly willing to misuse that fact to report people they don't like, even if the people in question are perfectly legal.

Do I agree that national security is vital? I never said I didn't. But there has to be ways to ensure that ICE is not being misused on those it supposedly isn't supposed to be targeting.

I am NOT going to get this thread shut down, so while we generally agree on this issue, we can agree to disagree on certain other aspects.

Much appreciated, but no need to apologize. We just see some things from a different perspective, that's all.
