Eifert Posting posted:I fail to see why this is the occasion where reality should conform to the misconceptions of the ignorant. How many people who can't learn the meaning of one word can afford 80 thousand dollar cars? Mostly because it will lead to deaths for no good reason. Also, very many.

Eschers Basement posted:You act like what comes after American hegemony is something other than a bunch of countries, including Russia and China, unabashedly dicking around with other countries and starting their own proxy wars. If you had a convincing argument that America abandoning its hegemony would lead to enlightened global self-determination, I'd listen, but since you don't, I'll stick with the less malevolent status quo. Because the US has a such stellar track record of not dicking around with other countries and starting their own proxy wars.

OddObserver posted:The BBC has some of the same problems US media does: 'balance' over Truth, self-important and arrogance. They are by no means a standard of excellence when it comes to reporting. I don't disagree with that but the BBC is still much better than most other UK-based media though. God the media in the UK is such a shitshow.

NathanScottPhillips posted:The two party system is a brilliant political theater to lock our country in place. We have representatives in the Senate and Congress since the 1950s, 95% are lawyers. All they do all day is lawyer-talk each other in public all day, then laugh and joke in private all night. Politically, our country is in the same place is was half a century ago. Arguing about women's equality, the environment, and middle east oil. So 1. Elect Trump 2. ??? 3. The terrible FPTP system is fixed
