Acebuckeye13 posted:Carter was a one-term president because he had zero relationship with congress and got into dickwaving contests with his own party as the economy and the world were crumbling around him. He's not a bad person, but he was unquestionably a bad president. Correct. The fact that he couldn’t do his job when asked makes him a poor president, and may not be the best person to take advice from for political policy. Remember he was the president directly after Ford, and by extension Nixon. He wasn’t fighting against the deepest more difficult field either.

Did I mention the only black person I encountered between daybreak and nightfall was a bartender at the reception? That place needs a loving investigation or something

No, I've lived in the south. I know the south. Chapel Hill needs an armed, sanctioned team of explorators/enforcers to come in and go "Okay, why is this place a statistical aberration in a region already plagued with racism? Let's set up tables for a summary tribunal right over there."

https://www.vox.com/world/2018/9/12/17764132/trump-russia-business-ties-mafia-putin-craig-unger You know how you get the feeling that most if Trump's business for a good long while has been money laundering and probable tax fraud? Guy wrote a book digging into Trump's business dealings since the collapse of the Atlantic City casino and how a large part of his business model is "launder money for Russian mafia, who of course are deeply intertwined with the post-soviet Russian state." A whole bunch of it in the public record, fair amount of it not actually illegal (because the west is allergic to consequences for rich people). I dunno, I find it pretty convincing. Probably need to buy the book. And ad the interviewer says, a bunch of it isn't illegal, it's taking advantage of the systemic flaws of the American mode of economics and democracy, so it's happening with way more people than Trump, and will keep happening until we unfuck ourselves. Depressing!

psydude posted:I mean most religion is founded in fatalistic principles of enduring suffering right now for unseen reward after you die so yeah it's probably not surprising most religious conservatives aren't a fan of UHC or world peace. It’s a owner based slave religion. Obedience now for reward later.

mods changed my name posted:"good things aren't possible right now" - Jesus Jesus actually was collective as all hell. He (if any one person bearing that name actually existed. Jesus is just a weird hosed up translation of justin or something like that anyways. There probably wasn't anyone named "jesus" but there were a whole lot of dudes with the name justin that became jesus because of hosed up translating, but I digress) preached that people should not suffer, but rather give up everything and quit chasing material goals. The only thing that mattered in this life was to care for your fellow man because the world is ending soon and the kingdom of heaven will be upon us. That's also part of why hardcore american christians are pro-israel - they need israel there for the apocalypse to begin and bring back Jesus. Remember, George W. Bush thought Saddam was literally the anti-christ and talked about nutjob hardcore american christian stuff with foreign leaders on the regular. It's literally a death cult. Taking care of your fellow man is preached hardcore in the bible. So is giving everything you own to the poor and living humble and selfless. Some of my wealthy "christian" friends like to argue that they're humble because their family still shops at wal mart.
