By all means, let's focus on the effects, and ignore the causes. I'm sick of people hating one side or the other, when the real mover and shaker is the USA, who, on the advice of the UK, carved the state of Israel out of Palestine, by force. It's been an open wound on the Middle East that we just can not and will not allow to heal. We just throw more money at it, ensuring that there is perpetual enmity and hatred on a regional scale.
In the American West, there was ethnic conflict, but all people talked about at the time was the atrocities of "the other side." Mostly it was renegades sparking it off, but good people on both sides were righteously angry, and felt that there was no punishment too severe or atrocity too grotesque to inflict on "the other side," because of how BAD "the other side" was. Murray, Shapiro, and every politician in Washington, DC are hell bent (I don't use the term lightly) on keeping the wound open and bleeding, without ever addressing root causes of the ethnic conflict in the region, let alone whether it is moral to continue throwing our treasure and our (and others') lives away, endlessly doubling down on "stupid."
Say something productive, Douglas. Don't just clutch your pearls in indignation and horror.

@kelleymcbride4633 Oh it's been devised. It's called the U.S. Constitution, where the powers of the central government are carefully enumerated and explicitly RESTRICTED and all else is left up to the PEOPLE. We, the people, have given up responsibility for our own lives and now we cast about wondering how to free ourselves, when all it takes is to cut central government's role and scope by about 90%. If they stick to the basics, it's easier to discern the corruption that inevitably sets in, AND they can't mess up what they don't control!
But even the U.S. Constitution is no guarantee, if the people, out of greed, fear, and insecurity, vote to EXPAND the scope and role of the national government. They can't screw up what they don't control.

@jamespyke6764 : As if Wikipedia is ever going to allow anything but the establishment narrative to grace its pages. You lot have failed to predict global temperatures every time you've tried. And you've overshot every bleeding time by a very large amount. Get back to me when your models actually work and ONE of your predictions comes true. Until then, I'm pretty sure the science is on my side.
You guys' say the science is settled, and then you unselfconsciously move the goalposts from Global Warming to Climate Change to Extreme Weather. And if you want to reduce negative human impact on the ecology, you should support prosperity and liberty, which are the only things that seem to get people to give a damn about anything beyond where the next meal's coming from.
I think time will prove me right, and AGW is a bunch of bullshit made up by people who want to herd sheeple this way and that, for their own ends, quite apart from fake messianic missions to Save The Planet! People will choose to live green when they have the option. And they'll get there a helluva lot quicker than government bureaucrats will, and with far less harm to the weakest members of society, whose backs you leftists piss down every bloody day, while telling them it's raining. You're the worst kind of people.

@questioneverything3026 "Free press" and government have been hand in hand since at least World War II. We didn't fight Nazis just to end fascism. We also fought the Nazis to perfect our OWN fascist controls of the hearts and minds of the public. All in a good cause, at first, but that cozy relationship has only strengthened over time.
Barack Obama did us all a favor by abolishing the "Fairness Doctrine," which meant to distinguish between opinion and objective news. What the fairness doctrine actually did was create a Washington Beltway consensus on reality that was then promulgated as "objective truth" to the masses. This back-door censorship was much more insidious, pervasive, and difficult to oppose than the BLATANT partisanship, de-platforming, shadow-banning and outright censorship that is now on full display.
I think Obama thought this would put the media on total Democrat lock-down. Gloves off. Push the socialist/globalist project through the home stretch to Democrat Party hegemony. All he really accomplished was short-term success and long-term disaffection, as the lies are not NEARLY as well-hidden. Throw in the proliferation of smart phones, and suddenly every citizen has the potential to scoop even the biggest network, and expose truths that conflict with what's on the ABC/NBC/CBS (The American equivalent of BBC, only less obviously creatures run by the government).

@Pho8os It starts with BAD SCHOLARSHIP IN THE HUMANITIES and it spreads like a cancer, through use of false authority and untenable theories presented as proven fact. I think it's sweet irony to see Christian cultists going toe-to-toe with collectivist cultists. The collectivists are masters of sophistry. The Christians have the courage of their convictions.
But a lot of atheists are against CRT, too. I'm a superstitious agnostic, myself. I'm fine with Christians when they don't get too oppressive. They're generally more tolerant and definitely more honest overall than the collectivist cultists who want all MY money, which they will count in their mansions, and have no compunctions about using any available form of coercion necessary. Shaming, smearing, character assassination, intimidation, silencing, ... These are all on full display by the collectivist/statist side. I'm not seeing it from the Christians, at present. They're in good-behavior mode when they're out of power.
