can we talk about how much I loving hate self labelled liberals that marry people with abhorrent racist views but they "don't talk politics at home" so they brag about how they voted for hillary while their dogshit husband jumps at the chance to join ICE to carry out his fuhrer's views on racial purity on the southern border

At this point anyone willingly identifying as a liberal is a centrist who says the right progressive things (student debt! Medicare for all! Gay marriage!) but when push comes to shove they'll always fold every time or go on some rant about the poors or browns making the neighborhood less safe and driving down property values

Right wing nationalism is on the rise throughout the globe but mass shootings are only on the rise in America.

It's remarkable that the world outside of the USA is a wasteland of women getting raped and the children and elderly being mugged and murdered every day because they don't have guns to protect themselves

Oh gently caress off, stop implying that poo poo.

What I'm saying is that majority populations almost always tend to view the minority as an other, and that because of that, the minority is going to be ostracized, discriminated against, or even ethnically cleansed or be erased by genocide. More homogeneous populations tend to have less conflict.

If a country is all Catholic, guess what? Less religious conflict. Introduce Protestants, and there's going to be conflict. Look at Northern Ireland for fucks sake. Kosovo. Sudan. Syria. Iraq. Turkey. All of those have more conflict due to religious, sectarian, or ethnic reasons.

USA: 14.4% immigrant population, 27.6% non white population
Canada: 21.9% immigrant population, 22.3% visible minority population

Are you saying that the 5% more ethnic minorities is a significant factor in the 24,800% greater amount of mass shootings this year versus Canada?

Canada does have public healthcare and much stricter gun laws as well as an official policy of being welcoming to immigration though. This doesn't stop us from having our own incels driving people over on the sidewalk in a van though (but the incel movement may be considered a cultural export from the south anyway).

Latinx sounds silly to me but I'm also turning 34 this year so I don't think I get to make the rules on what appropriate language is.

It's probably better than Latina or Latino.

If it makes you feel better, Latinx doesn't seem to have much traction outside of hyperwoke circles.

Seriously. If they prefer to be called "Persian" just go with that instead of being an obstinate rear end.

Also I feel like it has to be said a lot of Iranians (or their family) fled their country for obvious reasons and maybe they don't feel comfortable being associated with it when there's an easy to use alternative that is just as if not more specific to them.

wasn't The Expanse supposed to be an MMO or something and they turned the world building into a novel?

Forum RP actually. The guy who eats a railgun slug to the head was one of the original players who had to quit the campaign early.

So whats their point? I skimmed it but it looked like bernie made a reasonable geusstimate based on what people report caused the bankruptcy or were factors?

Bernie said 500k

The real number is closer to 700k, so AKSHUALLY he lied and is unreliable
