Since these SJWs, if they exist in any numbers, do not have legislative or judicial power, you're free to ignore them. Similarly, they're free to ignore you.
Buh? IF they exist? SJWs are proud of what they are. Social Justice is what they fight for, and you're gonna pretend it doesn't exist? No power? The Democratic Party is basically SJW these days, it's all about identity politics. That's why they lost the election to Trump, they decided to fuck over the white working class who had been their bedrock for decades.
Why do I get the idea that you're SJW yourself, that you find the SJW label embarrassing, and that censorship of opposing ideas is totally OK with you as long as they are ideas that you don't agree with? Quick question, did James Damore have a point about how men & women are different? (spoiler alert: he did)
Please, stop trying to think, you're no good at it.
You needed a semicolon after "think".
The US loses money doing business with Europe. There is a huge trade imbalance that Europe refuses to make fair. The European Union, which exports lots of vehicles to the United States, has an import duty of 10 percent; ours is 2.5 percent. Car & Driver magazine reports that the 10 percent duty imposed on imports into the European Union is preventing BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Volkswagen from building more factories here in which to make cars for export to Europe.
I don't watch Fox news unless someone posts a link there. In fact, I don't watch TV at all. Where'd you even get that idea? Try thinking sometime, it might hurt but it's well worth it.
So, are you living in a universe where the mainstream media wasn't revealed to be colluding directly with the DNC and the Clinton campaign, often giving them veto power over stories, giving them editorial privileges and worse, and wouldn't you know, the slant they gave to almost all articles was exactly the same as the strategy the Clinton campaign was using to try and discredit Trump:-/ Hmmm. Because this happened. Wikileaks confirms. We have the smoking gun.
To me that's a far greater danger to democracy than anything Trump has done. The media are supposed to be the 4th estate, keeping the government in check - and they failed miserably for the US election. At least with a Trump presidency, we're seeing the media actually doing their job, after 8 years of them acting as Obama's attorney.
When Hillary collapsed, the staff closed ranks as if this were well-rehearsed choreography, and *faced outwards* rather than *towards her*, and threw Hillary unceremoniously into the vehicle. THAT's what I find so amazing about it.
Well yeah. There are a ton of criminals in America. I don't think that comes as a surprise to anyone. Other countries are corrupt and either don't arrest them or let them out for a bribe. Not surprising the prisons fill up.
And you might want to drop that "USian" crap, it marks you as a drooling person whose arguments are not to be taken seriously.
Are you seriously aligning the interests of the globalists in the US government with the interests of the American people? We had fuck-all to do with that coup shit. Hell, the CIA did a lot of those on its own while trying to hide its involvement from the elected government. This isn't a conspiracy theory, it's established fact.
The solution, however, is not to turn away from friends and alliances which have been built up for more than half a century.
Gotta love that attitude. FUCK YOU USA and then turn right around and DON'T LEAVE USA YOU FUCKING ISOLATIONIST ASSHOLES. Jesus Christ, you really can't see it, can you?
building fucking walls never solved any problem ever
LOL. And when Trump said let's withdraw from NATO, the screams were loud and numerous. Suddenly NATO became Europe's prized asset and America was Europe's best friend. Ungrateful freeloaders.
Producing a documentary seems rather sober and calculated to me. Not at all like watching people with Ph.Ds from elite universities screaming on Facebook UNFRIEND ME IF YOU SUPPORT TRUMP YOU RACIST BIGOT!!@!#!$@#%%
Uh, hate to break it to you, but Europe depends utterly on the Americans to keep Putin's panzers out of Paris.
GOOD! Go the fuck home and leave the rest of the world alone for once. FFS.
Statements like that are exactly the kind of shitty, smug European attitude that results in Americans questioning the usefulness of NATO. Not only are you ungrateful, you go in the opposite direction and have a derisive view of the US despite how much you depend on it. Also what you just said has no grounding in reality, at all. You can't even base your hateful attitude on facts.
Only 2.7% of European troops are trained and equipped to a sufficient degree to be deployed in combat.
All of the military forces of the entire EU combined only have 10% of the capability that the US military possesses. Russia is way closer to the US in military capability than the EU is.
NATO "allies" flat-out refuse to pay their fair share for their own defense. Mr Schulz said: "Of course, we are a strong and reliable Nato member. However, I'm not of the opinion that Nato member states have agreed to achieve this goal of spending two per cent of their GDP for defence. This would mean a substantial financial burden for Germany."
Gosh, it isn't 1944 any more. The UN functions today as a forum for anti-Americanism. That's what it is, that's what it does, and suggesting that the UN is some kind of American puppet is really out there. America pays and pays and yet the UN feels free to bite the hand that feeds it. How else to explain the recent resounding American defeat in the Palestinian vote?
A lot of Americans have been saying for a long time that the UN needs to be kicked out. Their diplomats take all the benefits of living in NYC while parking their cares wherever they feel like it, driving drunk, and hitting Americans and not having to pay.
UNESCO promotes "Soviet-inspired" world disarmament in some of its education programs, boosting the needs of states over the rights of individuals and demanding a "new international economic order" critical of free-market capitalism. Poor, Third World nations have used UNESCO forums to vote sanctions against Israel, praise revolutionary organizations and to denounce and routinely outvote the United States.
The administration charged last December that UNESCO had "extraneously politicized virtually every subject it deals with; exhibits hostility toward the basic institutions of a free society, especially a free market and a free press; and demonstrated unrestrained budgetary expansion."
Extortion? How? Old Europe refuses point-blank to spend the minimum required by NATO for defense. How's it profitable when you have to pay and pay to defend a continent full of people who hate you? America has 50,000 troops in Germany whose primary job is keep the small businesses afloat.
The US fought the Cold War to keep the Russians off Western European soil, and mitigated ethnic tensions in the region, and all we got in return was European propaganda about how imperialistic and colonial the US is from the very guys who fucked the world up in the first place. It's a total farce and it's high time it came to a screeching halt.
It's not profitable at all for America to occupy Europe. In fact, it is hugely expensive. Europeans refuse to pay for their own defense and reacted quite angrily when Trump presented them with a bill for failing to reach their (quite low) 2% spending minimum.
Funny that when not so long ago when the US president questioned the sustainability and fairness of the NATO alliance, all of a sudden NATO is important for Europe's defense. All of a sudden the Europeans who never gave the US any credit for its disproportionate contributions think it's preposterous and a selfish betrayal to criticize the nature of the alliance. Europe is such a joke.
Europe (and the world) is vastly different than it was in 1949. Surely you don't mean to imply that the world's largest trading block with 500 million people and the highest GDP can't defend itself?
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.
Why does a rich continent of 500 million people depend on a distant nation of 300 million to defend it against much poorer and weaker threats on its borders? Why do the nations of Europe outsource this most sacred of national responsibilities?
People in Europe go on ad nauseum about how America thinks it can police the world and butt its nose in every country's business. America has been hated for this especially since the Vietnam war. Well, we are doing less of that and they're whining that we are deserting everyone and becoming isolationists. Can't effing win.
America's role as the world's policemen are coming to an end. Too much money and blood being spent (and wasted) overseas and too many problems at home. All American bases on foreign soil should be closed and the troops brought home. Let the rest of the world deal with the mess for a change. For many it will be considered 'good riddance' anyway. We can defend our borders. Let others worry about theirs.
If we have to pay to have allies, then fuck them.
"Americans cannot care more for your children's future security than you do."
We should take the warning signs off and let nature take its course. We'd end up with a stronger society. People who eat detergent pods are too stupid to live and should never be allowed to pass their genes on.
Sssh! This is yet another "bash America" thread. Take your facts and shove off! We need an emotional release because a man we don't like is president. Can't you give us that?
Yeah, we know. You hate us Americans. Don't think that you need to repeat yourself: I'm here to tell you, your message has been received, loud and clear.
All I'm hearing is that non-Americans want Americans to act not in the best interests of themselves, but the best interests of non-Americans and special interests. I don't really give a rat's ass, and it's particularly hilarious coming from Europeans.
"Americans cannot care more for your childrenâ(TM)s future security than you do."
They no longer regard themselves as under the control of the elected government. James Clapper was director of National Intelligence when he lied under oath to Congress and the American people saying we were not spying on innocent Americans. Good thing Scandal Free Obama was in charge and the media didn't care.
Who's talking about approval ratings? Nobody before you brought it up. I'm talking about educated, erudite people with advanced degrees from our best institutions absolutely losing it. Shrieking, gnashing of teeth, tearing of hair and rending of garments, in full public view. All because they don't like the President. Remember that lady that called a 10 year old boy "America's next school shooter" or the other one that had photos of herself taken carrying his severed head as if she had just joined ISIS? This has nothing to do with approval ratings and everything to do with extreme, over-the-top reactions by people whose education level and high level of rationality makes them incapable of doing so.
Remember when we chalked the NSA up on our side? They might have been a secretive government agency, but no matter what they did they had our interests at heart. Those were the days, weren't they?
Springs from the bottom up...oh, that's hilarious. Show me the working class who are demanding it. LOL. New Urbanists despise the working class. Why else do they make cities such a pain in the ass for them? You have to realize, people like that don't love the poor. They just hate the rich. The poor they regard as deplorable.

Hillary collapsed in front of the entire nation and needed to be thrown into her limo like a sack of potatoes. And her minders *did not even look surprised*! Think about what is normal when your boss collapses: You first freeze in disbelief; then you rush forward to help him/her; you make eye-contact and say "Oh my God, are you OK?!"

Only 2.7% of European troops are trained and equipped to a sufficient degree to be deployed in combat.
The Germans have literally had to use broomsticks in place of machine guns and only 8 of their 109 Eurofighters are operational.
All of the military forces of the entire EU combined only have 10% of the capability that the US military possesses. Russia is way closer to the US in military capability than the EU is.
In general, Europe depends on the US for defense and to protect their interests

OK this is just crazy. Since when has the UN been anything other than a hotbed of hate for America? The US withdrew from UNESCO in 1984 because "because the agency has been politicized leftward and is financially irresponsible."

This is a shining example of what Scott Adams calls hallucinations. Someone takes what you said and rephrases it in an entirely different and bizarre way, and thinks that's what you said. It's not, but try telling them that. They just hallucinated. We all saw that in the BBC interview with Jordan Peterson when the interviewer kept repeating "so you're saying" and then made up what he just said to her.
