Pick posted:See this is very American though, which is the demonization of the loser. You ostracise them, No True Scotman them, etc. But the reality is, Hillary stood for what you wanted. You just don't want to admit that you lost because your views stood for you and not for a huge proportion of the country. SA is a bastion of 30-something white tech guys who received every benefit from Obama and stood to gain more from the next Obama at bat. But you can't swallow your pride and admit that it wasn't the candidate that was the problem, it's what you, the voter, wanted. Other people didn't want that stuff, they saw you'd gotten more than your fair share already. See the problem with Hillary standing for what she wanted is the only thing she wanted was the Presidency. Nearly all of her policy positions were able to be refuted by clips of her from a year ago or ten years ago saying the opposite. Take LGBTQ issues, Trump had a verifiable record on supporting them earlier than she did. Like, on record. TPP she was for until it was politically convenient. I can go on, but you get the point. The only thing she stands for is corporatist globalization at the barrel of a gun.

Pick posted:Dude, no one really cares if we bomb Syria. The average American can't even find Syria on a map, and fewer still can name the major players in Syria. No one could point to Aleppo on a map of Syria. It's all virtue signaling. Less than 1% of Americans genuinely, actually give a poo poo about this at all. you must know some really dumb people because everyone I know is paying close attention to it and is against intervention perhaps talk to someone other than a neoliberal for a change e- actually my conservative and old school, slightly racist father is in favor of it. you and he would probably get along

Your position is understandable, based on where you are coming from the thing is, there was a time when Democrats provided an alternative to that the joke is that now Democrats are just moderate Republicans with a different name

spacetoaster posted:What happened? If he raped whoever this is why wasn't it front page news for the entire election cycle? Pick means Ivana Trump, Marla Maples was Trump's mistress Ivana claimed in the divorce hearing that Trump raped her, but recanted the story later if it was brought up in the election Trump's team would have just fired back all of Bill's accusers, like they eventually did after those women came forward

I still think her campaign was run by morons but I think she'd have done fine by the issues I care about and I wish she were president instead of Trump who is a legitimate danger to our democracy. the biggest danger to our democracy is global corporations buying influence via donations and lobbyists

Blue Raider posted:apparently, and im hardly an expert, nkorea's weird military posturing comes from the years that they were basically japanese slaves and they'll set on never being in that position again. im not defending north korea but i think their shenanigans are a bit more complicated than saber-rattling. also it's worth noting that South Korea was a dictatorship until the 1980's with an arguably worse standard of living than the North but people forget that because they drive a Hyundai now

Honky Dong Country posted:I agree but I worry less about Iran's leadership, as opposed to N.Korea's insane dictator just up and popping a nuke off because they feel threatened by a military exercise or something. I'm more speaking strictly to the idea of N. Korea having nukes which is what's got the current poo poo stirred up so bad recently. the possibility is higher but the overall risk is lower with Iran, all it takes is a more successful version of the uprising a few years ago, a missile at Israel and then we get the Samson Option less possibility, much higher stakes

nigga crab pollock posted:the content of articles is pretty much the least important part of them. it's not like they have actual writers, just unpaid 20-something interns who have never left the western seaboard. if the rise of clickbait titles hasn't clued you in the titles are pretty much the only important part of articles because they get more impressions than the text of the article and it is the primary hook for clicks, which is the thing that makes them money. and it was an anti-semitic joke and not really a nazi joke so the only reason they would say it's a nazi joke is to make the implication that pewdiepie is a nazi. if you are orchestrating a hit campaign that is pretyt much exactly what you do, you write articles that slightlyu misconstrue the situation and make associations between the target and a straw man such as that the anti semitism that a person exhibits makes them a nazi, which while related has much broader and worse implications than a jew joke my favorite part of the whole saga was when it was revealed one of the WSJ writers in the original article had a bunch of racist and anti-semitic jokes on his Twitter feed just lol
