THE SKEPTIC ARENA


This web site is dedicated to the eradication of irrational thinking.
Rationalists are those, whose thinking is strictly guided by the laws of logic.
Rationalists only accept as true, that which has been proven to be true,
through the application of the scientific method.

Homelessness in America ...

is getting worse

Skyrocketing rents.
That's the reason that the Oligarchs distracted everyone
during the last election with the price of eggs.
Not only did most of the population fall for it,
but so did the media - they were dead silent about the rents.

Is this a preview of what's coming to America?

Will it be Donald Junior? Or his brother Eric?

Quote:

"The government's crackdown on dissent has intensified in recent months.
Since protests began in June, security forces have killed at least 10 people,
and more than 100 demonstrators have been detained.
Amnesty International has documented abuses, including torture,
carried out by President Faure Gnassingbé's security officials.
The tensions are rooted in decades of one-family rule.
The Gnassingbé dynasty has held onto power since 1967,
when Faure's father took control in a bloodless coup.
Earlier this year, authorities abolished presidential elections through a constitutional change,
further consolidating power and drawing sharp criticism from opposition and civil society groups."

I was leery of Elon Musk’s "X" (twitter) but I chose to give it a try anyway.
I kept getting suspended when crybabies (Magats) reported my posts.
I pointed out that “Sieg Heil” translates to “Praise Victory.” It is NOT hate speech.
The moderators didn’t care. I was suspended anyway.

I also got suspended for violent speech for posting funny things.
After a few months, I finally gave up. I gave them a chance and now I regret it.
I’m guessing our freedom of speech will soon follow our democracy into oblivion.

Welcome to MAGAT WORLD

BTW, unlike YouTube, X allows you to block people,
so suspending people with whom the crybabies disagree is ...
totally unnecessary
