bemeruca:Your wishing is advocacy. You do not need to eliminate "all these ethnicities" before human beings see themselves as one. You just need to educate people to see each other as one. It is what Jesus is trying to teach you when he commands you to love your neighbours. He did not only mean those living next door to you, but those in the neighbouring villages and countries too. Today, technology makes every human on earth your neighbour, whom you should learn to love instead of letting the likes of Tommy teach you to hate. |

Budaatum, deepsight, look at the common sense I was trying to share with you guys. At least Budaatum got some of it. As for deepsight, it's a opeless effort 😂😂 Now, I don't agree with every thing she says.

bemeruca:Sir, your intellect cannot be this shallow. Surely you can what he's trying to tell you. You are insisting on ethnicity being the root cause of conflict..... he's showing you examples of numerous intra-ethnic conflict, but you continue to pauldron garbage. What exactly are you advocating for? |

Liberals ecstatic over $200 oil prices should be ashamed of themselves. Green Policies Handed Iran the Keys to Global Energy Chaos Mike Shellenberger nails it: The Iran-triggered blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is a serious geopolitical hit, choking off about 20% of the world's oil supply and spiking prices. But the real scandal making this crisis threaten a full-blown recession isn't just Tehran—it's a decade of suicidal delays and cancellations of oil, gas, LNG, pipelines, and fertilizer plants pushed by radical environmental lawsuits, climate alarmism, and weak-kneed politicians in the West. We could have built resilient, diversified energy supplies right here in North America and beyond. Instead, green zealots and their allies in government turned the world into sitting ducks for Middle East blackmail. Look at the self-inflicted wounds Shellenberger lays out: In North America, the Atlantic Coast Pipeline from West Virginia to North Carolina ballooned from $4.5 billion to $8 billion thanks to endless environmental litigation before getting killed in 2020. Other projects like the Constitution Pipeline, PennEast, and Canada's Energy East met the same fate under regulatory warfare and emissions reviews that treated cheap, abundant energy like a crime. The Biden administration's 2024 pause on new LNG export approvals froze tens of billions in potential capacity, leaving projects like Venture Global’s CP2 and NextDecade’s Rio Grande LNG in limbo. Petrochemical and plastic plants along the Gulf Coast? Nearly 60% stalled amid climate-driven financing fears. LNG Canada ran massively over budget after years of delays, while others like Goldboro were simply abandoned. Australia saw gas projects halted or tied up in court by conservation groups obsessed with "climate" over reality. Africa got hammered hardest. At COP26 and through outfits like the World Bank and European Investment Bank, rich nations vowed to choke off financing for fossil fuel projects—especially in places that barely emit but desperately need energy. Mozambique LNG sat frozen for four and a half years after climate-motivated funders pulled out. The East African Crude Oil Pipeline lost bank support under activist pressure. "Gas is over," they declared, while leaving the continent vulnerable. Europe? A masterclass in stupidity. France blocked a gas link with Spain for "climate neutrality." The UK banned fracking despite huge shale potential. Germany shut its nuclear plants and ignored domestic gas, then watched fertilizer giants like CF Industries and Yara close ammonia plants because green policies made energy unaffordable. The Netherlands killed off Groningen, Europe's biggest gas field. Result: factories shuttered, industry crippled, and greater dependence on imports from unstable regimes. Shellenberger's core point is dead right—the Hormuz mess would still sting, but robust Western production and infrastructure would have blunted the blow. Instead, years of prioritizing radical green fantasies over engineering reality left us exposed. We spent trillions chasing unreliable renewables that couldn't deliver when it mattered, while blocking the reliable fuels that power the world. This isn't bad luck. It's policy failure on steroids: lawsuits that doubled costs and killed projects, regulators captured by activists, and leaders who virtue-signaled about net zero while handing leverage to adversaries like Iran. The fix is obvious—ditch the obstruction, unleash American and allied energy dominance with fast-tracked permits, more pipelines, LNG terminals, and drilling where it makes sense. Energy security isn't a climate talking point; it's national strength. Weakness invites crises. Abundance deters them. Shellenberger's analysis exposes the uncomfortable truth: We did this to ourselves. Time to stop the self-sabotage before the next chokepoint hits. |

EXCLUSIVE: Dem Senate Hopeful El-Sayed Said He Needed To Stay Silent on Khamenei Assassination Because Many of Michigan’s Muslim Voters ‘Are Sad’ Left-wing Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed told staffers he wanted to avoid taking a public position on the assassination of Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei because “there are a lot of people in Dearborn who are sad,” audio from a private campaign strategy meeting obtained by the Free Beacon shows. The comments from El-Sayed—a serious contender for the Democratic nomination in Michigan’s toss-up 2026 Senate race—came during a conference call with his campaign’s communications team on March 1, a day after an Israeli airstrike killed Khamenei. If reporters pressed him to take a position on the matter, El-Sayed said, he would change the subject to Donald Trump’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. “I’m just gonna go straight to pedophilia, frankly,” El-Sayed said. “I’ll just be like, ‘Pedophile president decides that he doesn’t like the front page news, so he decides to take us into another war.’” The campaign responded to a request for comment with a note from their attorneys at the Sandler Reiff law firm indicating the audio recording was obtained “without the campaign’s permission” and “without the knowledge of the people who were being recorded” and that the campaign is “considering its legal options” against the person who made the recording. The Free Beacon was asked to “take this into account in determining whether to proceed with any reporting on this matter.” We certainly did that.

nateevs:even when people belong to the same broader ethnic group, conflict can still happen because smaller sub identities remain. So the issue is not just different ethnic groups in the broad sense, but layers of identity. eg. ethnic group, sub-group or clan, village or town, religion, political faction, family lineage. The more society is divided into many identity units, the more openings there are for rivalry over land, leadership, oil money, political appointments, recognition, and historical grievance. So I am not insisting anything. I am saying with more ethnic groups, the likelihood for conflict is high. Budaatum knows this. |

budaatum:Well, the fact that human beings don't see themselves as one is a thing. Today there is religious conflict, Gender conflict, political conflict etc. I'd love if we could see ourselves as one but that's not how things are. |

basilico:+ Pls provide the context for Kirk's statement which changes the meaning or justifies it. |

Something smells fishy. Like Trump’s magic ear

| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by DeepSight(m): 9:08am On Mar 31 |
bemeruca:+ Pls be so kind as to answer these for me - 1. Is it your view that black people were better off in the states before the Civil Rights Movement? 2. Is it your view that the Civil Rights Act (and Voting Rights Act) were mistakes? 3. Is it your view that black people are better off on account of slavery? 3. Is it your view that apartheid in South Africa was good? |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by DeepSight(m): 9:10am On Mar 31 |
cococandy:+ Babanla magic ear. In decades and centuries to come, books, documentaries and movies will be made about these magical events and much will be revealed with time. I never trusted that event for one second. |

DeepSight:The context is if United Airlines had not said they will increase their women and black quota of pilots from less than10% to 50% or so. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wl3UwsNZ544?si=_yINuu-7tJwotXxR Would you also fly . You know how DEI has been pushed by liberals , including hiring a known plagiarist the as Harvard President. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by DeepSight(m): 9:39am On Mar 31 |
basilico:+ Hang on a second. You seem to be defending the pilot statement when you quoted me with regard to the statement on the Civil Rights Movement/ Act. Get your act together pls. |

Rasmussen Reports @Rasmussen_Poll 🚨NEW: Mainland China CCP factory employees and Taiwanese warehouse workers have provided written affidavits on how they and others have installed illegal corrupted components into U.S. voting machines for years. Rasmussen Reports @Rasmussen_Poll · Mar 29 On the now scrubbed Dominion website they claimed their systems were made in Taiwan, not in CCP China. Recently the US govt banned usage of any internet router not made in America. Globalists were not pleased with that.

DeepSight:If I knew the pilots were fast tracked in order to meet a racial quota, I would not fly in that plane. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by DeepSight(m): 9:54am On Mar 31 |
basilico:+ There is nothing like a pilot being fast tracked. It's an area of specific expertise. There are minimum and irreducible tests you must pass and minimum amounts of training flights you must succeed at. That is why the argument fails. It's an area of specific expertise. But I will give a more detailed response after you address the quote you quoted me on and raised context on. I mentioned what he said on Civil Rights and you diverted to pilots. Pls address what I was addressing. I hope you are not being escapist or diversionary. |

New. ATF cannot match the bullet that killed Charlie Kirk with the suspect's rifle. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15692625/Tyler-Robinson-bullet-rifle-match-Charlie-Kirk.html Joe Kent , who resigned as the Counterterrorism Director has said he was blocked from investigating Charlie Kirk murder, has also said Kirk told him to stop the war with Iran and also said he suspect's foreigners involved in his death. This was at an interview with Tucker Carlson. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by basilico: 10:05am On Mar 31 |
DeepSight:So hours are the most important thing when it comes to flying. I've flown several times in the jump seat of 72-80 seaters.You only get that opportunit with explicit permission from the Captain of the plane.

| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by DeepSight(m): 10:12am On Mar 31 |
basilico:+ Please you are making me think you are being deliberately dishonest. Please and please, if you want a serious discussion, be serious and stop pretending not to see what I write. I have told you I will come back to this issue of pilots in detail. And I will. However you were reacting to a statement of mine when you said context is important. That statement was about Kirk's remarks on the Civil Rights Movement and Act which he called a mistake. You said context is important and I asked for the context. Only for you to divert to a completely different statement - the one on pilots. Please basilico, can you tell me the context that explains or justifies what he said on the Civil Rights Movement/ Act. If you pretend not to see this question one more time, I am done with you. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by cococandy(f): 10:35am On Mar 31 |
DeepSight:Because you have discernment. Apparently the right wingers don’t |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by basilico: 10:48am On Mar 31 |
DeepSight:Did I get you wrong. I was on the black pllot issue. Civil rights. For all K know Kirk stood by his words, he went to enemy territory to answer any question they had. Enemy territory is universities by the way, how low has education sank. So before I answer you I'll give Kirk the benefit of the doubt because he answered everything thrown at him via his podcast, email, On Twitter , Facebook and on visits to college campuses. He is one gazillion times better than Obama, who can only sit with media houses that praise worship him. |

basilico:+ Pls look at your post and the post of mine you quoted when starting this - https://www.nairaland.com/4508641/american-politics-thread-trump-47th/5853#138943959 |

DeepSight:Let's start with this black American regarding Charlie Kirks comments on black and civil rights https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SZUuTZ8ebA?si=1IlPKAFQsaKPl5Vo And this one too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXxmgMV15fk?si=fLASMw5ln_gPfSnN |

basilico:Garbage man, many people are flying off the tyrant predator train, but you'll still carry it head on as a badge of honor. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by basilico: 11:01am On Mar 31 |
DeepSight:I will say the same thing. The difference is the same. I have this stupid habit of listening to both sides first before I make a conclusion. I have heard your side, heard Charlie Kirk and now those two videos. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by basilico: 11:02am On Mar 31 |
Obrigardo:That's a black American I'm told you have to be in America to be considered knowledgeable |
