  1. They seem to be heavily planted in San Francisco. Remember the $1.7M toilet:

    if you can be performative and grift on the right, you can be performative and grift on the left just as well. I wouldn't be surprised if there's big PAC money to push culture wars from either side as Rufo has shown us.

    To be fair, I do think there's false equivalence to a large degree. If cons are pushing anti gay and anti abortion policy from blown up stories that may have genuinely or disingenuously started on the left, then that war is worth fighting. The result sadly ends up being just the same, time/resources lost that could've been used debating policy.

    You want to give somebody money, for something that never happened to them, from somebody who never did anything?

    Dont forget to get reparations from these folks

    The Native Americans Who Owned Slave


    The Native slaveowners could also be horrifyingly brutal towards their black slaves. This is illustrated by the case of Lucy, a black slave burned alive for the murder of her native master. She had no part in the murder but was executed anyway at the request of the murdered warrior’s wife.

    You are deflecting from my question.....To you, why does the amount of slaves a group has change whether they should provide reparations

    If 1% of slaveowners were Native Americans than it wouldn't be worth pursuing,especially when they were terrorized and brutalized by racist whites as well.Conservative whites from the southern confederate states were most responsible for slavery and they should pay the reparations.
