I don't know that she has great influence - I haven't spent even 5 minutes on this person.

She probably has some influence, albeit in an unofficial capacity.

But I’m old enough to remember the same posters refraining - “oh I’m sorry, what official capacity does Hunter maintain in the administration?”
This was of course in regards to the question of “influence” peddling.

I guess it’s just coincidence that Loomer can wield influence in an unofficial capacity, where Hunter was completely unable to do so in the same capacity. 🤷‍♀️

I'd argue there are more just as many mental issues in that age group today that are not military. I would not recommend endless gaming and SM purveying as healthy alternatives to the military either.

Oh there is certainly a mental health problem in the US

What did he say?

He said, and it's a proven fact that many of the major airlines set a goal to have their pilots to be made up of 50% black/women. To reach that goal they had to lower standards. They've admitted to that. The reason was the pool of black/women pilots was much smaller. He said you have to wonder if the pilot was qualified if the standards were lowered. It has nothing to do with race or gender but simply math. If the standards hadn't been lowered, having a black or woman pilot wouldn't concern him at all. It was a criticism of lowering the standards.

What is the game being played?

Game may not be the right word at least in the literal sense.

4 years ago it was conservatives getting cancelled, now it’s people calling Charlie Kirk a Nazi. It feels very herd mentality. Maybe it’s fear of losing business or maybe repercussions from the government. Shows mob rule can control speech

This is not hard:

1. He claimed three or four of the most highly educated successful black women didn't have the brain processing power to be taken seriously.
2. He didn't say they didn't work hard to get where they were (a common complaint about affirmative action). He said they lacked the "brain processing power to be taken seriously." That's like saying a good college quarterback is serviceable, but he's never going to have the athletic talent necessary for stardom in the NFL. Most people think of brain processing power/athletic ability as being something you were born with or simply lack.
3. If he said that about these three or four highly educated, successful black women, do you honestly (and in good faith) believe he thought less educated and less successful black women had just as much "brain processing power" as other racial groups and more "brain processing power" than these three or four black women? Because if you're going to go with the "Charlie's not racist" argument, that proposition is what you have to accept.

Who had admitted that they were just there because of DEI, and were very public figures that he had watched to form his opinion about those specific women, who were the only people he mentioned in the judgment about intellect.

Again... Actually, he said that they had admitted that they were only where they were because of DEI. That's exactly like saying that they had admitted that they were only where they were because of DEI.

Charlie probably suspected that the four specific people he mentioned--the only people he mentioned--were born the way they were born. I'm not sure what point you think that makes.

3. If he said that about these three or four highly educated, successful black women, do you honestly (and in good faith) believe he thought less educated and less successful black women had just as much "brain processing power" as other racial groups and more "brain processing power" than these three or four black women?

Your question doesn't follow. You'll have to ask him. Oh, wait. He's dead in large part because some despicable people convinced another despicable person to make unfounded assumptions about him and kill him for those assumptions. Looks like you're joining the party.

Short of asking him, you could listen to the innumerable other clips of him expressing love and respect for people of color. I won't track them down for you, and you won't do the work to find them, so just watch the tweeter video above that he believed race to be a toxic social construct that's been used for evil, so we should move away from it in favor of dealing with people as individuals and fellows in the human race.

The world would be a better place if we all took his advice.

That's not what he said though. If the standards were lowered across the board, why would he not look at any pilot and wonder if they were actually qualified. Why would he say specifically a black pilot?

Using the N word has been effectively banned from public discourse, and I'm good with that. I feel like both sides of the aisle should snuff all this out through voluntary action. The best way to do this is for each side to police their own, but we all know how much the GOP and DNC leadership are disinterested in that. The least we can hope for is Volnation people to police their side, but we're not seeing a ton of that, either.

I still can't find one MF right-winger on Volnation who will say anything negative about Elon Musk advocating for the removal of non-white immigrants as "the only way."
