Thanks for the response!
Not sure why my question wasn’t so well received … maybe it seemed I was being snarky by others.
I want universal healthcare, a complete over haul at the universities (free, or close), eventual ubi, and I’m sure several other progressive goals but I can’t vote Democrat … I have no idea where I can vote. I’m politically powerless, or at least that’s how it feels.

Because it has the possibility of taking a narrative like Floyd did. This is a culture war thread. This is what we do here. What’s the confusing part?
I can’t imagine being a cop right now in the US.

This is why I don’t mind Trump saying the election was stolen from him. The propaganda from the left is a 1984 dream. It’s embarrassing what this country has become imo … I don’t see the difference in conversation between the US and a communist state.
Note: the conversation, not actual living standards, etc.

What’s the difference between a R or D President for a left wing social democrat?

I manage a Men’s Department @Dillards and wear a tie, vest, dress pants, etc
I look like a fucking salesman .., which I more or less am.
It’s just not a thing at all in the lower or middle classes.

But January 6th is the nothingness of all nothing burgers.
I know very serious people say it was very serious, but I don’t believe they believe it.

You think white supremacists side with the Muslims?
Wouldn’t it be more of a ‘ they can settle it amongst each other ‘ kinda thing at best?

Hard to find this place.
Some low level recruiting would be interesting.

From a different perspective, I get why people would block me here and have blocked me on various forums over the last couple of decades: I’m kind of a huge asshole, and I used to drink and hang out on forums for hours just going back and forth with people constantly.
I used to post on mma.tv (close to 100k posts) and several posters there blocked me on and off over the years. Although now I’m on a discord with several of them and have met up with a few of them over the years. A couple are even close friends.
I found themotte way way back because I found a post by Scott and I started following him because he was so new and interesting, a double rarity for a forum junkie. I had zero idea what a rationalist was. Also I’m not as eloquent or intelligent as a lot of posters here. I just have my thoughts, feelings, and perspectives and they come from a much different place than a lot of people here.
Also, like someone else added, sometimes you need a break from a poster and opinion that you know will start a several hour long ‘ debate ‘ .

One time while managing a GNC a very old lady customer (I had helped her several times previously) asked me if I was God fearing - I acknowledged no - which frustrated her. Then she told me that I was going to Hell and that she is never stepping foot in such a Godless place again.
Sure enough - never saw her or her husband again.
The older we get the more childlike and idiotic a lot of us become it seems.

The crud of your point has seemingly little to do with my thoughts.

War - it takes war.
And the longer Israel diddles, the longer the suffering before the cleansing spirit of war.
I wish war was never invented. I wish it were obsolete now. But it was, and it isn't.

even just advocating for the nuclear genocide of the Arab world is enough to permanently destroy your credibility when it comes to condemning racists or white nationalists, who are in many cases less extreme in their policy recommendations.
I think we should be a bit more clear here: until they are happy and secure.
They are not secure because the people around them want them dead. The people around them constantly kill them, want to kill them, pray to kill them, hope to kill them, etc

Sam Harris, whom is now insufferable, has said (ish) that we should listen to what people tell us they believe.
People have trouble believing other people are so absurdly different that they could actually believe X Y or Z ... Smoke evidence be damned.

' we should kill our own people easier so some perpetually online dudes and fake politicians don't get mad at us ' isn't sound warfare strategy.
Israel should bomb every single possible target that holds terrorists or terrorists adjacent merchandise and see what happens after a year.

it basically evaporates any amount of good will I had for them
I don't understand a lot of things in life - and thoughts like these rank among the top.
Israel is surrounded by people's who all basically want them destroyed. One group decided to invade them and kill (1000, 1200?) of them and take hostages. Said people store munitions in hospitals and schools.
By every conceivable human metric that isn't of the last 50 years, Israel has the absolute human right to completely glaze everything around them until they are happy and secure.
But they don't. They hold back. Always. For decades.
And you're upset they blew up a hospital ... Or didn't.

I feel that a part of the disconnect you specifically are having is when you call teachers teachers instead of government agents. Maybe you've never thought about them in that manner, or maybe you think that's silly, or possibly even unhinged. But the poster you're responding to calls then government agents in this context for a reason.

Well I'm almost 40 and didn't sleep with my first white woman until I was 35 or so. I can't speak for the UK, nor can I speak for most of America outside of South Florida, but here at least most black / white interracial couples just seem like normal middle or lower middle class people. I've never met any like the you three you described but I don't have an overly large social circle.
White guys with black wives (whether American or Islander) is common here. So much so that I've never heard it exclaimed about at all. Sure I've heard people be derogatory but people are derogatory about everything. It always had to do with not liking one of the couple and not about who they were with.
I no longer have any interest in black American women however. Still, everyone should be seen as an individual so who knows what I'll do in my 40's.
I haven’t read the replies yet but my two cents: give it a week and tell her she’s crazy - in a way that you feel and in your own words. And in a way that you’re doing so that you can have further connection. No back tracking or access ting hysterics. She’s either your type, or not.
Everyone knows she’s nuts … and she does too. She just needs to hear it. Shoot your shot.
