If Europeans can defend themselves, then why was there such screaming when Trump wanted to pull us out of NATO? They should have said, "good riddance assholes" and sent us packing.
It's not? In what way, exactly? You're saying it hasn't been infected by the PC far left SJW culture that is widespread throughout the ivory towers of academia? You're going to need to cite some sources with examples of tolerating conservative thought.
That is precisely what living in a bubble looks like. You don't get any outside information and everything you see confirms your existing beliefs. It has long been a truism that a conservative is just a liberal who has been mugged by reality. Why else was Trump such a gargantuan surprise? Liberals were genuinely ignorant of what life was like outside their bubbles.
Pushing out is how America decided invading Iraq was a good idea. Tell me again how the world bully needs to have pride because some private company did something?
An educated immigrant who speaks English and had the means to provide for himself, who respects our laws and did it legally. Not an illiterate uneducated Third World peasant with no skills and a regressive attitude towards the place of women and gays in society. Do we see how those are different?
Yeah, nobody is going to vote for the party of identity politics. The Democrats haven't repudiated any of the vile, divisive policies that lost them the last election.
Ok, the Replication Crisis in sociology. Nobody can replicate their results, throwing 40 years of research into the garbage. Again, how do you not hear about this stuff? It's huge! Have you been listening to fake news?
Kathy Griffin had herself photographeD holding Trump's severed head as of she was a Muslim. You seriously didn't see it? It was huge news. The other was a mainstream journalist who said Barron Trump looked like America's next school shooter. I really have to question the media you watch if you aren't aware of these events. Because they were everywhere and widely shared.
Uh, I don't know if you've been following world politics, but Putin's panzers are a threat to invade all of Europe and it's only the Americans who are keeping them out, because Europeans refuse to spend money on their militaries. Like, flat-out refuse.
Wow, so scientists are not subject to cognitive bias, and will never color their work to follow their pre-existing political stances? The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment would like a word with you.
Who do you think is going to get the contracts for the super expensive equipment? Governor Andrew Cuomo's friends, of course. This is New York. Then the project won't work because they supplied shoddy materials. The whole thing falls apart, and Cuomo and his buddies make off with millions of taxpayer dollars. What's not to like? Politics as usual.
You mean a completely partisan man has produced a study that reconfirms his partisan biases? Quote from your link: "A new study finds that it is technically and economically feasible to convert New York's all-purpose energy infrastructure to one powered by wind, water and sunlight" yeah sure OK. Right. That's certainly an objective outcome not at all biased by his preconceptions. This kind of crap is why anti-intellectualism is on the rise.
This is what Scott Adams calls a 'hallucination' and now that I know how to spot them, they're fascinating to discover in the wild. He literally said, "What was I afraid of? things like extra-judicially executing american citizens." and you hallucinated that it was him saying he was personally afraid of being assassinated. I'm starting to think any comment that starts with "so" followed by a misstatement of the opponent's argument is the tell for this.
Buffer against Russia? We have the Atlantic ocean. How's it in our interest to have a "buffer"? It's not in our interest at all - it's in theirs! We're getting ripped off by a bunch of ungrateful freeloaders.
Nothing has changed. The US federal government is still made up of the same smart people it always was. Their diplomas are still from the same outstanding universities. You don't trust the educated to run your life for you? You're willing to put your fate in the hands of morons from State U, and create a maze of contradicting statutes? Create these dangerous precedents of insubordination for a guy who will be out in 3 years, maybe fewer? The toxic legacy of self-rule will stay with you a long time afterwards and American competitiveness will be hurt worldwide.
Yaknow, I think they were right - you flyover folk really are too stupid to be allowed to rule yourselves.
You know, it's funny: before Trump was elected, it was all about piling power upon power into the federal government. We can't have everyone consulting state and local governments every time they want to do something, too burdensome. Inefficient. Moreover the people at the federal level are smarter and better at their jobs. They have advanced degrees from better schools. Who has Seattle got? People with degrees from State U?
Then overnight, it went to inefficient burdensome regulations written by the poorly educated for everyone. Suddenly it was good? You realize one of Trump's "things" is that we don't need a federal government to do everything and state & local governments can do for themselves? You're just falling for his con man act. I thought you were smarter than that. Resist!
HA! I *knew* it! Someone was going to jump in and change the topic to America. Everything's got to be about you, doesn't it? You can't let even one little topic be about another country, you've got to hog the attention so it's all about America, all the time. Well, the rest of the world is sick and tired of your shit. Stop changing the topic to yourselves, you get enough press already.

This is literally Whataboutism.
SJWism is just Marxism with "race" instead of "class" as its founding tenet.
Oh, this is priceless. I say that identify politics are vile and divisive and get back a post defending the vile divisiveness of identity politics.
I don't know, I think he's going to run against Trump in 2020. America's first Jewish president, it's about time.

Please try to follow along. Oxford is a leftist shithole. American universities are mostly also leftist shitholes. Got it? Good.

The federal government has always been so. It's just noticeable to you because of Trump.

I don't know why, but some still worship the ground Hillary collapses on.

It happened bigtime in the Jordan Peterson interview with the BBC where the interviewer repeatedly says "so you're saying" followed by stating something he did not say. He repeatedly contradicts her and tells her again what he said, and it makes no impression on her. She was literally hallucinating and it's obvious to everyone.

Assange just told the Swedes he's a Syrian refugee. So naturally they dropped rape charges.
