Maybe if the media stopped reporting fake news all the time, we'd have more confidence in them. Heck, Twitter just got caught red-handed admitting that they shadowban conservatives for no reason other than being able to identify that they're conservative. It's pretty damning when things like this constantly happen. And who's been reporting the huge Sanders story? Did you know his wife is going on trial for fraud related to that university that she ran into the ground?
Ah, I see your problem - you are confusing intelligence tests with IQ tests. Gotcha. Intelligence can and is tested with culture-free tests. It's not 1970 any more, grandpa. There has been a lot of progress in intelligence research.
Assange was certainly a hero. Do we seriously not remember 2011? It's so bizarre that people pretend not to remember this. This happened.
"First Facebook and now Wikileaks as the Guardian reports that studio executives have picked up the screen rights to the forthcoming Julian Assange biography 'The Most Dangerous Man in the World' by award-winning Australian writer Andrew Fowler. The book details Assange's life from his childhood on Magnetic Island in Queensland, Australia, all the way through to his founding of the whistleblower website in 2006 to publish classified material. Producers Barry Josephson and Michelle Krumm, who have optioned The Most Dangerous Man in the World, say they are planning a 'suspenseful drama' in the vein of All the President's Men and with the thrill of a Tom Clancy novel. 'As soon as I met Andrew and read a few chapters of his profound book, I knew that â" with his incredibly extensive depth of knowledge â" it would enable us to bring a thought-provoking thriller to the screen,' says Krumm."
Does anybody remember when he was a hero? For exposing the corrupt US government to the whole world? Did that go down the memory hole? Benedict Cumberbatch played him in the movie, for fucks sake. And he does what he always does, expose the corrupt US government to the whole world, and he suddenly became the worst criminal in the world? How does this even work?
Why is it the "that's not real socialism" argument yet again? This is cliche at this point. Of course China is communist. They know more about communism than any American leftist. They lived and breathed it for decades and murdered any right wingers who got in their way. Today China is achieving socialism by the capitalist road. This is a heresy, no wonder you're screeching against it, but it's what they arrived at from their own experience. And it's working.
I don't know what outdated publication you got your ideas from, but intelligence tests these days shed that "how many bottles of milk should Johnny put out for the milkman" problem long ago. They can accurately measure intelligence across cultures. Just so you know, and you can stop pushing that old and busted "cultural bias" line and leave it in the 1970s where it belongs.
Well OK then. To the barricades, comrades! Let's go forth to battle for the rights of working class morons who we openly call deplorable! Wait a minute, are we really on the side of the poor? We hate them, remember? They voted the wrong way, so fuck them. Or did I read the left-wing press incorrectly?
"Armed police"? What kind of ridiculous fear mongering is this? What kind of cop isn't armed? Seriously, WTF. "ZOMG teh police are here and they HAVE GUNS everybody panic!"
The video is MSNBC, Jesus Christ. Open your damn mind. Plus you didn't bother refuting anything I said about our openly partisan and leftist media. You just started ranting about Trump. All too predictable.
When labor prices go up, this is what happens. It's not PR bullshit, it's hard cold reality. They used to hire illegals to get around these laws, but with Trump they can't do that anymore.
We used to have one, but it was a ridiculously overpriced government-run boondoggle that kept exploding. Honestly, it's just cheaper to launch a new satellite than send up a super expensive manned spacecraft that has to change orbits.
The whole point of this story is how governments raising wages is resulting in the increased cost justifying the expense involved in automation. The governments would rather have people unemployed at $15/hr than working at $11/hr. This wasn't some natural process, it was the result of interference. And once those jobs are automated, there's no going back.
Seriously, you don't think Americans have a distinctive personality? Especially in advertisements? They sure do. Chinese have a distinct personality, too, especially in Chinese-made advertisements.
Free? What free press? The press is a partisan force, part of the Democratic Party. They are a side. The "free press" came right out and admitted that they thought the world would virtually end if Trump won, and decided to play an active role in deciding the election rather than simply reporting the news. Journalistic integrity has left the building. They're not some neutral truth-tellers, they abandoned that when they went all-in on backing Hillary in the election. Did we seriously forget this already? Because this happened, we have hard proof.
> "They stopped being journalists and began being *cheerleaders*, and became people who had a conclusion that they reached, and then searched for facts to show that Hillary Clinton was an 92, 93, 99 point 9999 chance winner, of winning this campaign."

Zero tolerance policies are how Damore got fired in the first place. Sounds like you're a hell of a lot more right-wing than you say you are. You certainly don't agree with left-wing core concepts.
When you say you don't see race, youâ(TM)re ignoring racism, not helping to solve it.Our justice system is built on the idea that being blind is the same thing as being fair; our courts use portray justice as a blindfolded goddess, to symbolize the objectivity we equate with being unaware of appearances. She, too, is supposed to be colorblind â" but, given the disproportionate number of men of color in our prisons, and the tendency to prosecute them at disproportional rates, thatâ(TM)s not exactly true, either.
It begs the question of why you would want to be allied with such a repulsive state and rely on it 100% for your own defense. Time for the alliance to go away, nobody wants to be on the same side with a tyrant. Good riddance to the Americans.
China is achieving socialism by the capitalist road. No wonder people are shouting "that's not real socialism", that's what they always do. Socialism has to win the prize for most distant, unachievable goal right next to me getting to bang a Hollywood starlet. Well, unless I was in charge of a production company.
The idea is to create global warming hysteria, which will make an atmosphere of panic and fear such that we will rush into giving the Far Left everything it has ever asked for. It's been going on for a long time. The science is irrelevant at this point.
June 30, 1989, Associated Press: U.N. OFFICIAL PREDICTS DISASTER, SAYS GREENHOUSE EFFECT COULD WIPE SOME NATIONS OFF MAPÂ- entire nations could be wiped off the face of the earth by rising sea levels if global warming is not reversed by the year 2000. Coastal flooding and crop failures would create an exodus of Â'eco-refugees,' threatening political chaos," said Brown, director of the New York office of the U.N. Environment Program. He added that governments have a 10-year window of opportunity to solve the greenhouse effect.
"Winters with strong frost and lots of snow like we had 20 years ago will cease to exist at our latitudes." Mojib Latif, Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, Hamburg, 1 April 2000.
January 2000 Dr. Michael Oppenheimer of the Environmental Defense Fund commenting (in a NY Times interview) on the mild winters in New York City: "But it does not take a scientist to size up the effects of snowless winters on the children too young to remember the record-setting blizzards of 1996. For them, the pleasures of sledding and snowball fights are as out-of-date as hoop-rolling, and the delight of a snow day off from school is unknown."
Former U.S. Senator Timothy Wirth (D-CO), then representing the Clinton-Gore administration as U.S undersecretary of state for global issues, addressing the same Rio Climate Summit audience, agreed: "We have got to ride the global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing in terms of economic policy and environmental policy."
Christine Stewart, former Canadian Environment Minister: "No matter if the science is all phoney, there are collateral environmental benefits.... climate change [provides] the greatest chance to bring about justice and equality in the world."
Daphne Muller, green-progressive-liberal writer for Salon: "This moment requires we the people to rethink democracy as a global mechanism for enacting policy for and by the planet."
Peter Berle, President of the National Audubon Society: "We reject the idea of private property."
David Brower, a founder of the Sierra Club: "The goal now is a socialist, redistributionist society, which is nature's proper steward and society's only hope."
Mikhail Gorbachev, communist and former leader of U.S.S.R.: "The emerging 'environmentalization' of our civilization and emerging 'environmentalization' of our civilization and the need for vigorous action in the interest of the entire global community will inevitably have multiple political consequences. Perhaps the most important of them will be a gradual change in the status of the United Nations. Inevitably, it must assume some aspects of a world government."
Emma Brindal, a climate justice campaigner coordinator for Friends of the Earth: "A climate change response must have at its heart a redistribution of wealth and resources."
Monika Kopacz, atmospheric scientist: "It is no secret that a lot of climate-change research is subject to opinion, that climate models sometimes disagree even on the signs of the future changes (e.g. drier vs. wetter future climate). The problem is, only sensational exaggeration makes the kind of story that will get politicians' â" and readers' â" attention. So, yes, climate scientists might exaggerate, but in today's world, this is the only way to assure any political action and thus more federal financing to reduce the scientific uncertainty."
Researcher Robert Phalen's 2010 testimony to the California Air Resources Board: "It benefits us personally to have the public be afraid, even if these risks are trivial."
We have to get rid of democracy, private property, and implement redistributionism, a philosophy that has been tested at high levels and low, and has failed every single time. It's a real crime that these frightening actors have latched on to the story because nobody believes the boy who cried wolf.
It's always disheartening to discover that the greatest advocates for social justice are actually vile racists who don't believe that Palestinians are fully human. That opinion could have come from any settler kibbutz or neo-Nazi website.
Wow, you sure have a low opinion of Palestinians. Pretty racist that you think they're not capable of anything but violence when someone says something they don't like.

There's no Trump in China. That counts for a lot.
An emotional outburst followed by fat-shaming. I really thought environmentalists were better than this.

After people pay $1000 for something, they are likely to be happy even if the product isn't very good. Psychology, you know.
Wow, you sure have a low opinion of Palestinians. Pretty racist that you think they're not capable of anything but violence when someone says something they don't like.
You didn't actually refute what he said. Hatred of Christians is widespread and socially acceptable in polite company.
