Vegans showing up in the comments to flaunt their affluence in front of people that can only afford steak and bacon.

The right might have extremists like the president, his cabinet, plenty of congress members and governors, the biggest tv news network, the richest man on earth, some of the biggest podcasters in the country, etc But dont you forget that the left has one idiot streamer too!

The entire U.S. population is in the low hundreds of millions (340m), meaning that according to NoemMath, nearly all of us were on track for a cocaine-related death. We are all so grateful to have been saved.

Fuck you

Hmm I wonder why socialists don't like the institution whose job it is to protect the state that they oppose... Big mystery

The ancient Romans didn't understand elections the same way we do. Elections were not about competing policy platforms like they are understood today they were competitions about who had the most moral "excellence" (seen as those who give most in service to the people and state)

We live in such an evil society.

Lol these people are something else

Funny anecdote about Julius Caesar and his arch enemy Cato the Younger from the Greek historian and philosopher Plutarch

What is absolutely *wild* to me is that a lot of Democrats are refusing to attack Trump on tariffs as the #1. No other policy he has is nearly as unpopular — and save for healthcare, there's nothing that would cause nearly as much damage to Republicans.

I suspect that Quranic suras were written in a similar way as some of the ancient classical orations. Especially when you look at Cicero's Fourth Catilinarian Oration it seems to have been composed impromptu (or almost) and written down very shortly afterwards.

Fish are way more conscious than most people think
