It seems that as we stand right now, our education system is not working, right? I mean, that's the problem, there are not, today, enough students with good technical training coming out of the school and university system in America to fill these jobs.
Would you say our education system is "right wing?" That the teachers, the administrators generally hold right wing, conservative, or evil fascist opinions and operate the educational system accordingly? It seems to me the 14:1 liberal to conservative college professor ratio must be the problem. If we can just get rid of those last few conservative professors who have turned our school system into a right-wing indoctrination center then we'll finally have schools doing what they're supposed to be doing: turning out highly educated Gender Studies and Transafrican Eskimokin Studies majors ready to enter the workforce.
This sounds like the Trudeau position: "If you kill your enemies, they win." Clearly we must further depress American wages and put more Americans out of work in order for the American worker to prosper.
Maybe...I dunno...local and state education officials, and the teachers themselves should shoulder the responsibility for educating kids instead of being controlled from Washington?
That the media is pushing a narrative that Trump is unpopular/unliked, which is why NY Times ran the photo comparison of Trump's crowd vs. Obama's crowd. They left out the alternative facts like: Trump picture earlier in the day, Trump inaug on a workday instead of a Saturday like Obama's, tighter security at Trump's, deranged leftist protestors blocking traffic/driving down attendance through intimidation, D.C. is 90% Democrat and 50% black which makes easy turnout for the democrat first black president, Trump's support has to come from out of town and stay at hotels and risk getting their car set on fire by deranged leftists, however according to Akami it was the most heavily streamed live event ever. These alternative facts support the alternative narrative: Trump is popular and there is support for his presidency and agenda.
The fake news media uses some true facts, ignores alternative facts and invents context to create phoney narratives for their propaganda purposes, and Spicer called them out on it. See my signature.
I'm saying the left calls everyone a nazi, and now everyone "alt right" which is just another way of saying "nazi." Now the meme on twitter/facebook for leftists is about how it's okay to punch nazis. But these are the same people who called Nixon and Reagan and Bush and McCain and Romney Nazis. I really want to see the alternate timeline where Jeb Bush was the nominee. "You know who else had an amazing guac recipe?!? HITLER!!" "Fuhrer Jeb keeps turtles in his pocket. Do you know who else was a noted animal lover?!?" You want to talk about dangerous? How about the left justifying political violence against absolutely anyone who disagrees with them.
As for Milo, it's pretty simple to see where he's coming from. The left's idea of being "pro LGBT" is "we're going to keep letting in muslims who want to throw gays off roofs and shoot up their nightclubs, but hey we'll force Christians to bake cakes for you!" Milo has a different take, that he would prefer the government not try to force people to be nice to him, but also maybe not be so welcoming to people who would literally kill him.
He claimed the audience (total number of people watching) was greater. And this was, according to Akami, the largest live streamed event ever. So Spicer was correct: the audience for Trump was bigger. "Alternative facts" are the things the media leaves out of their reports so they can lie by omission to create a false narrative ("lol no one likes Trump") instead of a true narrative ("Trump's audience was fine and he is supported by many people.") Remember, the mission of the media is to persuade with propaganda, not to inform with facts.
That kind of ignorance doesn't hurt Republicans, it hurts Democrats and progressives.
Identity politics is a cancer to destroy the economic left. The plebs were getting too uppity about all that income inequality stuff during Occupy Wall Street. Switch the focus from "income inequality" to "racial income inequality." Switch the issue of CEO vs worker pay to "gender pay gap." Now the leftists no longer want to smash the system, they just want to make sure enough people with approved skin color and genitalia have token positions of power, too. Think Hillary was going to "smash the patriarchy?" Of course not. She just wanted to run it.
You really believe that was what was happening there instead of it just being an echo chamber where dissenting opinion was downvoted to oblivion? You still believe in Santa too?
Reddit design encourages echo chambers. Upboat the groupthink downboat the wrongthink./r/politics is unusable for any reasonable discussion of politics, as any opinion that isn't "DAE TRUMP IS LITERALLY HITLAR?!?!?" is verboten.
Milo, whether you like him or not, wrote an excellent article on what Alt-Right means.
Both you and AniMoJo are right (I can't believe I just said AniMoJo was right about something. Hell freezing over when...?). Spencer's "alt right" was just rebranded white nationalism. Then the term got popular among other toy ideologies, like neo-reaction and monarchism and things like that for people who oppose the left, but recognize that the mainstream GOP leadership is just a bunch of sell outs who play fight with the democrats and lose, so you don't really want to call yourself "right wing" because people just assume that means Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan. Then the Trump revolution attracted a lot of other people who also don't agree with the mainstream GOP establishment, but really opposed either the left's identity politics/SJW moonbattery (like libertarians) or liked Trump's economic nationalist message (paleconservatives like Pat Buchanan who were opposed to free trade, mass immigration and empire). Oh look, here's a convenient term for people who have little in common except they oppose the left and the neocons, and that's what Milo (who could best be described as a social libertarian and professional troll) wrote about. It was also in this context that Steve Bannon said Bretbart was a platform for the alt right. NOT in the context of white nationalism but in the context of everyone who opposes the left and the neocon traitors. Then immediately after the election there's a video of Spencer saying "hail Trump" and by the left and media's one drop rule of Nazism if there's one Nazi under a label THEN EVERYTHING IS NAZIS.
There's no point using the term anymore by anyone who isn't a white nationalist, but I'm glad it's around, because it's useful schmuck bait for the left to attack. I'm a paleoconservative, and while I would have therefore been described by Milo's article, I have never self-identified as "alt right." Why would I? I was campaigning for Pat Buchanan in the 90s and don't need a new label. Let the left go screaming at the "alt right" which is basically Spencer's 300 people who showed up to his stupid NPI meeting. We paleocons, libertarians, and workers will be cheering on Trump's new Republican party as they run the government.
Okay, well that's not the way Christianity works, so it's unlikely the religious/socialist society would be Christian. You'd have to change Christianity to make it acceptable to most Christians to force other people to act like Christians via government. The future you describe would be Islamic, not Christian. And I agree that is entirely possible, and even likely in Europe.
So, you think we should have a state religion, and that state religion should be socialist? That already exists, it's called Islam. In ISIS lands everything is free including healthcare. Of course if you don't work to do your good duty as a Muslim to provide things like free healthcare for your Muslim brothers then you're an apostate and they kill you.
This sounds like a poor solution to the problem of needing simple jobs for simple people. I am not in favor of it.
You tell me. "Christian Nation" is thrown around by Christians. It seems to mean anything they want, depending on the circumstances.
So your entire argument is a straw man. Got it. Why do you bother with this shit? You make up straw men, then you offer really shitty arguments against them...you lose to your own straw men. You're terrible at this.

The old system artificially deflated wages. There is no free market, so pick your poison.

And that's true, isn't it? More streaming viewers than any other event ever?

1. I'm still right and you're still wrong.
2. It's all stupid. The media's trying to distract with narratives about crowd size to undermine Trump. Who gives a fuck?
He claimed the audience (total number of people watching) was greater. And this was, according to Akami, the largest live streamed event ever. So Spicer was correct: the audience for Trump was bigger. "Alternative facts" are the things the media leaves out of their reports so they can lie by omission to create a false narrative ("lol no one likes Trump") instead of a true narrative ("Trump's audience was fine and he is supported by many people.")

What was the demonstrably false thing?
The narrative surrounding the "alternative facts" meme is an alternative fact.
At this point you should just scream more insults, like the bigot you are.
Do SJW have a long list of words, terms they want banned? Protect all celebrity marketing by ensuring only positive movie reviews can be found?
Can't we just keep this about Rampart?
African-Americans are statistically more likely to die in police shootings.
Wrong. Cops are more likely to shoot white people because no one calls them racist for doing so.

Arguing with them?
Isn't using power to shut down dissent instead of debate kind of the whole reason we think fascism is bad?

There isn't one. "Alt-Right" is just the new way of calling everyone who isn't a progressive a Nazi.
