I did! And they blamed illegal immigrants, negroes, liberals and godless atheists.

But they repeated themselves.

Most of the "very green" people are ideological. In my experience, to the point where there's no real differentiator between "ideology" and "godless religion" like Buddhism.

(Referring to actual Buddhists in Asia rather than the hip Buddhists in the West).

It's the moderately green people that are reasonable and can be convinced via logic and facts. Because they arrived at their position not because they looked for something to replace what seems to be the void in them that would be filled with traditional religious belief throughout most of history of humanity as species. But because they looked for something that would explain changes around them, and how they could be affected by their actions, as individuals or on a collective level.

Unfortunately like on most topics, it's the religious ones that will scream over everyone, making themselves heard and everyone else silent.

Events in the past caused us to evolve with a single-minded purpose to overpopulate. This is reflected in civilization and religion. The result of overpopulation is usual in lemmings but may cause consternation in humans, who have little expeience in managing this. The godless religion of political correctness can't recognise this, so the suicide cults win.

Unfortunately, the media he defends are purveyors of the godless, communist, terrorist religion of political correctness who only want to see advertising and propaganda on the web, all else banned.

Do you have a link or citation for this? Honestly asking.

Take it right from a chinese newspapers mouth there's been a few articles on the Korean Daily News, on the Japan Times, Mainichi Shinbun as well. article from bloomberg on the politburo wanting to pump more money and debt into the economy to keep it going. Again few articles more on this, check SEA news organizations, WSJ and so on. This is the type of stuff that doesn't get traction in the US/Canada or European media.

Are you sure they would cheer? If China is really such an evil godless commie regime, wouldn't a pressured China be more likely to do something crazy, which would be bad for its neighbors?

Yes, because it would give them the opportunity to kick them square in the teeth over the south china sea and them building military installations there. This has become a big enough problem that the current government in Japan(Abe) has both the political and public support to rewrite the constitution allowing for a pro-active military, instead of the restricted defensive military put into place at the end of WWII. In S/N.Korea's case, there appears to be far more going on as well, including having Kim come to Seoul, an agreement to de-mine sections of the DMZ, more open trade, removal of all military posts on/near disputed islands and so on. Singapore seems to be taking a very active approach to wanting them to reunify as well.

There's also the fact that China is a major if not top trading partner to those countries. So even if China doesn't do something crazy, their neighbors will be affected.

Most already have plans for that, note the increase trade deals between Canada, Japan and S.Korea dealing with milk/milk products, and flash-frozen meat for example.

Well for the first time the politburo has stated that "yes they are actually worried about the tariffs, but also countries moving out of china and back to their home countries."

Do you have a link or citation for this? Honestly asking.

Japan, Korea, Philippines, Singapore will cheer China hitting serious financial problems.

Are you sure they would cheer? If China is really such an evil godless commie regime, wouldn't a pressured China be more likely to do something crazy, which would be bad for its neighbors?

Godwin made his rule (really, the corollary was the "you lose" bit) when people were calling each other Nazis over Linux minutia. Republicans as a party have started a war for pure profiteering, and are running concentration camps to steal brown babies. When you're comparing people to Nazis for things that literal Nazis did, it's not the situation that the corollary was meant to describe.

Also, Republicans have been framing anyone left of Pinochet as godless communist homosexual traitors for FIFTY YEARS. They made the use of marijuana more illegal than rape so they could lock up the civil rights movement and the hippies. If you can't take the heat, get the fuck off Capitol Hill, especially when the heat for your opponents has been full of lead and explosions for decades.

First, given that all life evolved from non-life and without the intervention of any intelligence, we could destroy all life on Earth and eventually there could be every bit as much life and with even more diversity in a few billion years. Indeed, the new life that arises and evolves could be far superior to humanity. In fact, but putting off our own extinction we could well be comitting a crime against the universe by delaying the rise of our superior replacements.

Second, given that we too are just evolved animals, everything we do is just as natural as anythin any other animal does and so our wiping out of other species is perfectly natural an OK. Nobody gets mad at a tiger for eating gazelles.

Third, given that we are all just curious animated accidents of physics resulting from a Godless big bang + time + random events, and given that everything will ultimately end in a dead universe at absolute zero, there's no point to anything. No matter what legacy we think we are creating, there will be nobody left to remember it or benefit from it eventually. If we want to wipe out a species for fun, or just for the hell of it, we should; It does not matter in the long run and every species will eventually die off anyway no matter what we do.

If you disagree, you hate science.

Torontonian here. The founding principles of the US were "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". Still works that way, especially if you're a wealthy white male. This country's basis was "peace, order, and good government". Individual rights are NOT paramount. There's a CCLU, but it has a much lower profile than the ACLU. Historically, we trust our government a lot more than the Americans do. Although this may be gradually changing as Conservative ideology drives out Liberal ideology by promoting fear that we'll become a godless police state.

Who gets to decide what's an acceptable risk for me? Some Godless, faceless "death panel"?

I'm so sorry the big meanie triggered your precious snowflake feelings. How could those godless commie urban muslim traitors understand your pain?

This proves how godless scientist are. Beacuse of their refusal to acknowledge God, they continue to be lured by the devil into spending millions and billions trying to discover what doesn't exist, life outside earth. It won't stop until every godless scientist is roasting in hell.

Meanwhile, however, we've obtained the government we deserve:

Powell Memorandum

On 23 August 1971, prior to accepting Nixon's nomination to the Supreme Court, Powell was commissioned by his neighbor, Eugene B. Sydnor Jr., a close friend and education director of the US Chamber of Commerce, to write a confidential memorandum titled "Attack on the American Free Enterprise System."

This memo was to be an anti-Communist, anti-New Deal blueprint for conservative business interests to retake America for the chamber.

It was based in part on Powell's reaction to the work of activist Ralph Nader, whose 1965 expose on General Motors, Unsafe at Any Speed, put a focus on the auto industry putting profit ahead of safety, which triggered the American consumer movement.

Powell saw it as an undermining of Americans' faith in enterprise and another step in the slippery slope of socialism.

His experiences as a corporate lawyer and a director on the board of Phillip Morris from 1964 until his appointment to the Supreme Court made him a champion of the tobacco industry who railed against the growing scientific evidence linking smoking to cancer deaths.

He argued, unsuccessfully, that tobacco companies' First Amendment rights were being infringed when news organizations were not giving credence to the cancer denials of the industry. That was the point where Powell began to focus on the media as biased agents of socialism.

The memo called for corporate America to become more aggressive in molding society's thinking about business, government, politics and law in the US.

It sparked wealthy heirs of earlier American Industrialists like Richard Mellon Scaife; the Earhart Foundation, money which came from an oil fortune; and the Smith Richardson Foundation, from the cough medicine dynasty to use their private charitable foundations, which did not have to report their political activities to join the Carthage Foundation, founded by Scaife in 1964 to fund Powell's vision of a pro-business, anti-socialist, minimalist government-regulated America as it had been in the heyday of early American industrialism, before the Great Depression and the rise of Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal.

The Powell Memorandum thus became the blueprint of the rise of the American conservative movement and the formation of a network of influential right-wing think tanks and lobbying organizations, such as:
* The Heritage Foundation
* American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC)
as well as inspiring the US Chamber of Commerce to become far more politically active.

Marxist academic David Harvey traces the rise of neoliberalism in the US to this memo.

Other sources trace the rise of Newt Gingrich to Richard Mellon Scaife, but this is all of a piece.

Whatever your political slant, it's interesting to revisit the original anti-government hot-buttons that infused the first-wave neoliberal movement: those MSM bastards who won't print our claims that badly designed cars and cigarettes don't kill people.

* Victory (in principle): Ralph Nader.
* Victory (on the ground): the appellation "fake news".

Where would America now be if an Elon Musk had answered Nader back in the early 1970s (with an engineering response), instead of this asshole (with a memo response)?

Intended effect: safer cars forty years sooner.

Unintended effect: Nader's head would have expanded, and the Russians would now be actively interfering in our elections to diminish our peculiar brand of Godless social democratic communism.

[*] For all I know, first-wave neoliberals:third-wave neoliberals::first-wave feminists:third-wave feminists. By no means do I visit on the son the sins of the father. Except for you, Eric.

More violent name calling from the left. Does the left have any civility?

Why would you expect civility from godless commie faggot muslim fake american traitorous....wait a minute.

Sounds about right. And then the counter strike involves MIRVs hitting every godless liberal major city.

Evil begets evil. But hey, the evil Putin is gone, right? Hope it was all worth it.

Keep your wood dry. You'll need the fire after dawn.

The Secular Europeans, like the crew of the Bistromath, don't care- they don't have children and don't want to and really don't care what government they live under.

That's a pretty bad comparison. Secularists DO care a lot about what kind of government they have. Secularists are some of the strongest opponents to Islamism.

On the other side, the biggest apologists for Islamists are usually people of faith. The Muslims obviously defend their own, but even Christians come to their defense. Left leaning religious types usually go all hippie about love and tolerance and diversity, while right leaning religious type tend go into a blind rage at the mere mention of secularism, forgetting all about Islam and start railing about "godless commies"

The religious and Progressives like to play themselves as being mortal enemies, when in reality they're more like Dark Lords of the Sith. The two lords may compete with each other for supremacy from time to time, but that doesn't mean either of them are good news for the rest of us.

Remember that one time when we were in a cold war with a communist country? A lot of people here got real scared about godless communists and decided to fix this by putting things like "in God we trust" on our money. It made them feel better.
