State guards are used by many states. Since the national guard can be federalized, states need a force to protect the states while the guard is gone.

Most people don’t even know about the state defense forces

You said conservatives are mentally ill. Let’s see the cite for that. I have never seen a study that says that.

Can you cite your claim that it is much more well known that liberals are mentally ill?

[–] [email protected] -5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You need to cite your claim first before I cite common knowledge

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I did cite it. All you did was parrot an old Michael Savage quote, which doesn't qualify as "common knowledge".

That will be enough sea lioning from you.

Warning for violation of rule #1

Honestly, your arguments can probably stand on their own without calling people names.

I read the article. What do you think was incorrect?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

First of all, Washington Times is a known radical right propaganda outlet, and openly presents itself as such. Second, it is not claiming that liberalism is a mental illness; it is highlighting that liberals are more likely to trust science and seek therapy than radicalized superstitious religiotarded nitwits. Third, the "conditions" it presents are themselves radical right wing propaganda (such as the police violence statements).

I never said liberalism is a mental illness. I said liberals are more likely to be mentally ill. The two are correlated.

Nice try to disparage the source. It is a peer reviewed study they are talking about

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The only correlation between the two is that liberals are likely to believe in facts and understand cause and effect.

Okay I can see that you're just another one of those guys who's going to stand there with his face against the wall yelling "no you!".

The difference between me and you is that I gave you a very specific list of all the things conservatives have built their entire life around and have been utterly and completely dead wrong about (and aggressively belligerent over, which makes it a mental illness) while you just seek out confirmation bias from radical fascist and neo conservative blog posts.

No. No more. I acknowledge that stupid liberals exist, but theirs is an ideology that attempts to do good while conservative ideology is hell-bent on metaphorically crushing orphans in an orphan-crushing machine, and whose representatives consistently and repeatedly do their best to cause the most harm.possible to the most people. If you deny this then you admit you are one of them, and are a sworn enmy of the American people.

In the meantime. i want all my tax money back that your shithole states stole from us.

And one more question: when have book banners ever been the good guys? As a side note, did you enjoy crushing Dicie Chicks CDs in 2002, and di you ever apologize to them when you turned out to he dead wrong yet again about a war?

No you gave a word vomit of list of things that amounted to gibberish I have you cited information. Facts vs feelings.

Good to know you think banning child porn is bad. That’s the only book I know of that Florida banned.

And how do you think Oregon has wronged you in taxes ?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I gave you an actual factual list. Facts don't care about your feelings.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

No that was word vomit and was really strange behavior.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you only know of one band book and you actually think that it's child porn, you have utterly failed this debate. You lose. I win. End of discussion.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

That’s the book de Santis showed on tv.

You do realize the left is banning books as well? They couldn’t handle dt Seuss imaginary creatures.

Here are the facts. A meta-analysis culled from 88 samples in 12 countries, and with an N of 22,818, revealed that “several psychological variables predicted political conservatism.” Which variables exactly? In order of predictive power: death anxiety, system instability, dogmatism/intolerance of ambiguity, closed-mindedness, low tolerance of uncertainty, high needs for order, structure, and closure, low integrative complexity, fear of threat and loss, and low self-esteem. The researchers conclude, a little chillingly, that “the core ideology of conservatism stresses resistance to change and a justification of inequality.”

Great but none of that is mental illness. All studies show liberals are more likely to be mentally ill and diagnosed as such
