Nothing but whataboutism. You neither addressed nor refuted the premise. Go look in media sources a week before the election. The sentiment was: "what happens when he wins the popular vote but loses the electoral?" as many expected. The answer was "they must accept it no matter how much they don't like it and our security forces must ruthlessly crush anyone who rejects the legitimate outcome. If they resist with violence it is traitorous and seditious." And what happened after it came out the other way? Resistance with violence. So quickly we forget what happened only 20 months ago. We have always been allied with Eurasia.
Remember when, before the election, everyone thought Hillary would win the electoral college and Trump the popular vote, and we were all sharply warned that's the way the system is, and to accept the results no matter how unpleasant? Pepperige Farms remembers...
We're withdrawing from the institutions we created because of decades of negative feedback from people just like you. When the only replies you get are vile abuse, that tends to give humans the idea that we should stop doing the idea that generated the vile abuse in the first place. Congratulations, your behavior modification techniques worked just like you planned! Give yourself a round of applause. Do you know how difficult it is to successfully persuade people? It ain't easy, but you pulled it off!
If only PBS hadn't pissed its credibility away supporting far left political causes instead of representing the American people as it was charged to do, we might care. As it is, who watches PBS anymore but their tiny base? A few decades ago, they stood for all of us. No more. It's so sad. They once were warriors.
If only environmentalists didn't have a proven track record of deliberately overstating threats in order to get the outcomes they desired, we might be able to believe them. As it is, we must require extraordinary evidence before believing any of their claims. They're about as credible as the mainstream media at this point, sadly. If only they hadn't pissed their trustworthiness away in a poorly considered series of artificial crises that were later proven false. The whole planet will suffer due to their misdeeds.:(
Yet another anti American metric flame on Slashdot. Do you people ever get bored? Feels good to bash us, doesn't it? And the world wonders why we're withdrawing and tending to our own affairs. How about, "wow, America, this new telescope will be great for science!" Nope, just grab the first negative thing you can think of. Well I suppose we deserve it, with the invading of Iraq and the bombing a school bus in Yemen.
So, you're OK with the fact that the EU was basically founded by the CIA. WTF? I thought the CIA was the enemy, right along with the deplorables. Explain how you're suddenly on the side of the Deep State (unelected US government).
I can see you've never met a white South African. They aren't just racist, they get really detailed about it. They'll bend your ear with story after story of how horrible black people are and won't shut up about it. This is such an obvious angle of attack on Musk and I can't figure out why it isn't being used.
"It is at first denied that any radical new plan exists; it is then conceded that it exists but ministers swear blind that it is not even on the political agenda; it is then noted that it might well be on the agenda but is not a serious proposition; it is later conceded that it is a serious proposition but that it will never be implemented; after that it is acknowledged that it will be implemented but in such a diluted form that it will make no difference to the lives of ordinary people; at some point it is finally recognised that it has made such a difference, but it was always known that it would and voters were told so from the outset."
They were the smart people. You're saying you don't want to listen to smart people when they advise you? This is the same idiocy that led to Brennan getting his security clearance revoked. Now the government has one fewer smart person on the outside doing good.
Oh, lovely, now it's the guilt by association fallacy. Calling people gullible idiots? It happens to everyone, all day long. It's probably happened to me four times already today. Snowflake culture.
Wouldn't your country be better off with you at home, contributing to their prosperity? Instead, you're contributing to the one country on the planet that doesn't need it. It's super-wealthy already. Your own people badly need talents like yourself and with you deserting them, how are they ever going to get ahead?
Did you know the EU was basically founded by the CIA? Yeah, that's right, the same organization that was overthrowing the elected government of Iran and killing Allende used those same talents to pull strings behind the scenes to make it all happen. Is this known, or not? How must we re-evaluate the EU now that we know the hands that founded it were drenched in the blood of innocents?
Papers show that it treated some of the EU's 'founding fathers' as hired hands, and actively prevented them finding alternative funding that would have broken reliance on Washington.
A memo dated June 11, 1965, instructs the vice-president of the European Community to pursue monetary union by stealth, suppressing debate until the "adoption of such proposals would become virtually inescapable".
Engagement is how you get people on your side. If you're only willing to work with others on your own terms, that makes you isolated. It can also make you a mean bully. This is Trump's policy, you really think it's a good one?
Abusing victims of abuse isn't a token of sympathy, it's punching down. People who punch down need to be called out on it, they're not acceptable in our civilized society.
Bu...but the Singaport Summit! Trump engaged with North Korea! He was supposed to use the B-2s on Guam to bomb the living shit out of the Norks, remember? He's too chickenshit to do it? Did we just forget this happened?
That's whataboutism, a favorite tactic I see you use all the time on Slashdot. You didn't actually refute anything that I said.
Misogyny these days is just anyone who is making good arguments against a feminist.
It is important not to confound Anti-Feminists with Misogynists, or women haters. Some of the early Church Fathers, John Knox, Schopenhauer and Strindberg, for instance, were Misogynists. They disliked and scorned women as such and found little to say in their favour. But men like Herbert Spencer, Nietzsche and myself are Anti-Feminists. We bear no hostility to women nor do we denigrate them gratuitously. We merely assail and resist that Movement which has endured with more or less prominence and success ever since Hellenic days, and has aimed at driving women from domesticity and the home into industry, public life and, in fact, every male sphere.
Anti-Feminism differs from Misogyny in that, while the former is friendly to normal women, the latter attacks all women. Anti-Feminists see in Feminism a conspiracy against the normally functioning woman; a Movement favourable to a minority of masculinoid females ill-endowed for motherhood, and tending to lure women favourably endowed for motherhood along paths where their psycho-physical needs cannot be satisfied.

So we need to do it gold plated or not at all? You really did work for the US government, I can tell.
So the big cities lose influence in favor of underrepresented rural areas? How's that unfair again? It seems the very definition of fair.

If you're going to call the media liars, you're just aping Trump.
Yeah but do those reviews get deleted? That's the problem here.
That's the same New York Times that hired a racist for their editorial board, right?

Did this stream of consciousness word salad have any point, Grandpa? I think it's naptime.

Who but a diabetic monitors their "blood A1C score", whatever that is? Jeez, nobody keeps a blood monitor around the house to check after meals.

From politics, but relevant:
"It is at first denied that any radical new plan exists; it is then conceded that it exists but ministers swear blind that it is not even on the political agenda; it is then noted that it might well be on the agenda but is not a serious proposition; it is later conceded that it is a serious proposition but that it will never be implemented; after that it is acknowledged that it will be implemented but in such a diluted form that it will make no difference to the lives of ordinary people; at some point it is finally recognised that it has made such a difference, but it was always known that it would and voters were told so from the outset."

He's a white South African, a fact I'm surprised that never gets brought up. White South Africans are racist as fuck. Have you ever met one?
