Those who have more should be happy to share with those who do not. It's called socialism. It is at the core of Leftism and it's ironic as soon as it's your money that's getting redistributed, you instantly become a tight fisted fiscal conservative - the very people you hate so much. Way to speak truth to the powerless.
Who else in our history had the idea of getting rid of all defective humans in favor of a humanity 2.0 that would be better in every way? What's the word we use to describe this idea?
You didn't actually refute anything that was said. All you did was make excuses for a murderer who fled justice to live in a real life communist country. When a political movement holds her as a hero and chants hey name, yes that's going to count against them. Because WTF? She ceased to be relevant decades ago. Why would anyone ever bring her up? Unless of course they think murdering police is OK. "What do we want? Dead cops! When do we want 'em? Now!"
You kidding me? That rating thing never happened. Are you a journalist or something? Rape is a crime of violence against women, it has nothing to do with attractiveness.
You didn't actually refute anything that was said. Does BLM idolize Assata Shakur? Evidence says yes. She murdered a police officer and fled to live in a Communist country. What about that disagrees with or is incompatible with BLM rhetoric?
That same modern science that created the Tuskegee syphilis experiment? Outgrew the A-bomb? You know there were a lot of people calling to destroy Russia with nukes if Hillary had won? Slavery is still alive and well in America, it's called human trafficking. Trump is at least honest about what he represents: American exceptionalism and the idea that might makes right. White people are the only ones who can make decisions for the world, when you let countries make their own decisions they do it wrong. Saudi Arabia in Yemen, for example.
Whataboutism doesn't excuse your xenophobia or blaming foreigners for your own problems. Deal with your problems or watch your culture fall, your choice. Fun fact: did you know what I said is taught as truth at your universities?
It's because the Left considers Texans as The Other. They might as well be space aliens. Hell, the Left feels more empathy with illegal aliens from hostile countries with backwards cultures. People who believe gays are evil and trans don't exist...hell they don't know how to use flush toilets. And yet the Left likes them more than their own countrymen.
Honesty about the bedrock Western values of lying, slavery, bombing other countries, racism, patriarchy, white supremacy, the "right" to terrorize citizens through the bearing of arms, violent nationalism, and in general being authoritarian Christian evangelical/orthodox conservative climate change deniers/ignorers, intolerant, anti-womens rights greedy shits. It's nice to see it all in the open.
It is supremely idiotic to believe Western Civilization is some shining beacon of free speech, women's rights, and religious tolerance.
Western Civilization? Great? The same civilization that came up with the idea of the A-bomb, Tuskegee, napalm, and the Eugenics Movement? That Western Civilization? The same civilization who created thinkers like Locke and Kant who advanced theories of scientific racism that had incredibly harmful consequences? The civilization that took ideas of human freedom and individual rights and then held other human beings in bondage and proceeded to exterminate native populations? The civilization that was created and nurtured by old, racist, patriarchal white men?
Please tell me again about the bedrock Western values you're talking about, because nobody can make sense of the world salad you're writing. If anything it's refreshing to see Trump's honesty. Trump is the symptom, not the disease.

Devolving power to the states is all part of Trump's plan. Stop falling for it! Resist! Keep the power in the hands of the federal government where it belongs.
In the group called experts, are those who decided invading Iraq was a good idea. Trust experts, they know they're doing. Doubting experts is anti intellectual.
Aw, crap. I did mention Trump there at the end. That apparently set off your Trump Derangement Syndrome. Sorry about that. Usually when I have an important point to make, I'll try not to trigger TDS sufferers but it slipped my mind this time. I'll try to do better in the future. Meanwhile, the internet is allowing us to see the world as it really is and the true nature of the powerful. That's why they want it centralized, so they can keep secrets and use deception the way they're used to.
I'm sorry, did you reply to the wrong comment? You didn't address any of the issues I raised. You appear to have meant to reply to someone talking about Trump.
It's impossible for conservatives to seal themselves in echo chambers. The left wing media is too loud. All you need to do is go to Facebook or Google News to see what the Left wants you to hear. Walk into an airport and CNN is spewing fake news in your face. 350 media outlets all conspired behind the scenes and published the same topic on the same day. On the other hand, conservative views are actively censored by the tech giants and the media. You have to go out of your way to be exposed to them. For common searches, YouTube puts popular conservatives on page 114 of results.
No? Huh? It was experts who told us that Iraq had WMD and those presented a clear and present danger to us. They also said that Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda were going to team up against us. Because Iraq was going to give WMD to Al-Qaeda, despite Saddam utterly hating Islamists and Al-Qaeda utterly hating nationalists like Saddam. Fun fact: you know who wrote the infamous false flag WMD memo that was used as justification to start the Iraq War? Robert S. Mueller III. Yup, the same one. Read the smoking gun memo here.
Experts aren't the solution, they're the problem. Until they can prove they can be trusted, it's better to put ourselves in positions of power. We'll make suboptimal decisions to be sure, but our decisions will be better than their decisions which have been repeatedly shown to be disastrous.
You engage in whataboutism, use ad hominems of "ridiculous" and "lost all credibility" but never provide any reasoning for your accusations or cite examples. The Left has been energetically advancing the identity politics movement that's been plaguing our society for decades now.
Essentially, it relies on the theories of post-modernist thinkers who believe that individual identity is less significant than group identity. There is a weird inverted pyramid structure, whereby those who are felt to be the most oppressed get the most victimhood points - this is referred to as the 'hierarchy of privilege'.
You might think that objectively this is nonsense, but it's ok, because the aforementioned post-modernist thinkers have reliably informed us that objective facts do not exist. Everything is necessarily viewed through the prism of an individual's personal privilege or oppression, and so-called facts are merely the assertion of power by a specific group and should therefore be disregarded.
I'm not making this up. This is the actual theoretical basis for this stuff that's corrupting our society. Obviously once you tell everyone they're just part of a group whose interests are opposed to other groups in a kind of zero sum Darwinian dystopia, you get the explosion of division and hatred (and the decay of decency and compassion) that we've seen across the west over the past few decades. But that's just the cost of doing business. Forget a thousand years of slow, painful intellectual development that brought us the greatest civilization the world has ever known - you are mistaken and the reality is that all the West has ever given the world is racism, slavery and oppression.
Biological determinism? Tut, tut, that is a big no-no on the Left. You'll not get far with that kind of thinking. Down that path lies the third rail of discussions about IQ - Douglas Murray tried that and got electrocuted.
Wow, way to create a ridiculous strawman that literally nobody believes. This is all part of the problem, the Left will simply invent something ridiculous, assign this ridiculous view to their enemies, and then hate their enemies for holding the view that they invented.

Socialism is government control of the means of production. Those are the facts. Anyone tells you socialism is anything else, she's lying.
These days, who doesn't just use "print to PDF" from your program of choice? Unless you need to fill in forms or something.
You've got no arguments - absolutely nothing. Just childish insults. Boy, it must burn watching your favorite socialist country fall apart.
Man, you've got issues. Ranting in public about this isn't healthy.

You just did it AGAIN. Stop strawmanning others' arguments, dammit! Don't tell other people what they believe!

Cranky Grandpa doesn't like other people's driving because they don't drive slow like he does. Someone needs a nap.
