      He was an incredible man. If only we could have him back.

      So wild that Fox News called him evil.

        Is it wild? Fox News. Who openly pushes Russian propaganda. They are openly the bad guys. It’s amazing they can exist and be so blatantly anti-human.

      Off topic but my personal theory on why trumps slaps with old people is he just talks real slow. To me it makes him sound like an idiot. If you’re curious about this just listen to trump at 1.5x and you’ll notice he somehow becomes more coherent. I mean, he still has some sort of mental disability behind all that but if I had unlimited money I’d do my own research on this.

    Joe Rogan has always sucked. He was a horrible actor, and even worse comedian.

          Meh, I know everything there is to know about incels. You’ll never, ever, convince me I should be afraid of them.

          Put me in the incel run concentration camp. I’ll put it to the test.

                Yes. And an incel terrorist killed 32 people in my home town. Last week an incel terrorist killed 2 people and injured 6 more at FSU. I’m not saying you have to agree with the video, but give it a try

                  Incels are a very specific group of men who feel as though they do not have the ability to attract a member of the opposite sex. It’s not just some term used to put down evey sad disaffected white male.

                  Do I believe they are capable of terrorism, yes. Do I think they are dominant force in society, no.

    “We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. This is the divine mystery supreme. A wonderful thing it is and the source of our happiness. We need not wait to see what others do.”

    – Gandhi

    tl;dr Be the Mr Rodgers you want to see in the world

    When he died Fox News went on to call him an extremely evil man who wanted to breed a generation of narcissists, saying that self-esteem must be earned and not something people just have.
