  1.  @hazzmati  History itself, global history. On a purely selfish level, the loss that any group experiences by othering and discriminating against its own internal population for purely bigoted reasons cost more than it will ever gain it.

  2. Thank you for this. I'm really loving these shorts and it's good to see y'all enjoying flexing your skill set in more contemporary directions. Really great work. Again, thank you.

  3.  @deshaun9473  It's a poor hypothetical. Any statement can be abused by somebody else to justify anything. Rhetoric is just that, rhetoric. But You specifically stated there was something Afro-Asian about bigotry related to the LGTBQ community. It is not. You also referred to human rights as Western. They are not.

  5. Isolationism is, and even then was a false ideology. The world has always been global, and has only become increasingly so. To cling to a memory of what never was as a way to conduct what now is might be the definition of conservatism, but it's hardly the way to manage One of the most powerful and largest countries on planet Earth built almost uniformly by immigrants, and colonial descendants.

  8.  @poultrypickins9572   @Poultry Pickins  The overwhelming majority of American immigrants have immigrated to the United States from countries that are far from global in their connections, The majority of them having come from the Global South. Those countries, many of whom haven't been made impoverished or kept impoverished by actions taken by the United States and its allies (and their opponents.) I've spent 16 years serving in that military you're talking about. Since World War II, the overwhelming majority of our military action has been unilateral in nature, and are most successful ones have been multilateral. Strong alliances that we maintain and do not abandon for unilateral action would have kept us out of several of our failed wars. It is not inaccurate to say the United States could feed itself, it is an accurate to pretend that the rate at which we could feed ourselves would be called luxurious or even comfortable by the average American. The overwhelming majority of the produce in your supermarkets and grocery stores are a product of a global logistic system, as is the standard of living that you yourself have become used to. There is no such thing as a truly freestanding nation on a closed environment, and technology is such now that the United States cannot even pretend otherwise. Both historically (China, Japan, others) and presently, nations that have chosen splendid isolation, have instead revealed it to be a self-limiting neutering of the country's power, Well simultaneously leaving it open to being surpassed and it's agency usurped by exterior nations. There is no longer a frontier to steal from Indigenous nations, And we are no longer limited by sail or steam to pretend the world is smaller than it is. United States involvement is global because United States existence is global. Those that dream otherwise were attempt to conform reality to that illusion or consigning themselves to the dust bin of history, and no amount of demanding otherwise is going to change that.

  11. The concept has, it's just the form that changed. You're not going to get a kid from Pittsburgh on the 80s to get all weepy about the south. But you can get him into the hammerskins. The soul doesn't change, but the clothes do. Similarly, proud bois and their ammosexual compadres in the militias are the spiritual inheritors of the klan. It's the same silly, stupid song to a more modern beat.

  16. We had a relatively brief occurrence of a love of education in the US, and now we've gone back to a much more typical anti-intellectualism. TLDR: stupid is usually in style in the US. You just happen to have been alive for a period of brief exception.

  19. "I'm not advocating for it, I just really, really, really want to make sure no one puts any particular attention on it." Why can't you people just say what you mean? Where's the bravery in your passive aggressive, new speak version of speaking your opinions. The US gets the attention it gets for two reasons: one, because it's an incredibly powerful nation and two, because it's a nation that has had a habit of moralizing at others while being incredibly hypocritical about those same morals. Russia and China (and a not insignificant number of United States citizens) would like the United States to simply stop being moralistic and stop criticizing anyone so they can be quietly comfortable with doing all the awful things they're completely comfortable with doing. Some other nations (and a not insignificant number of US citizens) would like the United States to actually carry the courage of its convictions and act the way It pretends it does, and instructs others to act like. Do better.

  23.  @petebondurant58  "don't take sides?" Why? Some middle grounds are artificial. A great deal of neutrality is a combination of cowardice, and siding with the whoever is the victor. Looking across the spread of United States history, from the old to the extremely modern, and weighing the negative impacts of the people that the proud boys are the inheritors of, and what antifa is, the bigots are easily the worst of the lot. Whether they're your garden variety home grown communist, or a legit black bloc rioter, neither has cause much grief in the United States in comparison to white supremacist terrorism. It's not even a close comparison. That's like comparing the common cold to the black death and saying be fair they're both diseases. And? Only a idiot draws that as a dominant comparison between the two.

  28.  @sc2starkey  The point being that from the genesis of European colonization of North America, entanglements are and have always been a requirement of good governance, And as the world has become and continues to become smaller and smaller, and as the standards of living expected by populations depend further and further on interconnection, globalism is no longer even a delay-able choice. The world was always interconnected, but the relative slowness of technology and the presence of a exploitable frontier allowed that can to be kicked down the road for period of time: the period of time is passed.

  29.  @poultrypickins9572  The leaders of Nigeria are far from global powers in any sense, ANY SENSE, of those words. That's just one example, but there's plenty more (Guatemala, Haiti, Albania....) Ask for imports, you are floridly incorrect. "What are the Top 10 U.S. Imports | Importing in the United States" https://traderiskguaranty.com/trgpeak/what-are-the-top-10-u-s-imports/ Those are 2018 numbers, and In addition to the number side of there, further reading shows that 18% of our agriculture is imported. Autarky is a dream for most conservatives, a few very dated communists, anarchist wannabes, and one group of schizoids in northern Korea.

  30.  @poultrypickins9572  repeating the same stamens doesn't make it reality. We do not have The resources to maintain any kind of standard of living that United States citizens have demonstrated they have any interest in having without considerable foreign import. Neither our citizens nor our businesses have any desire to become an autarkic country.

  39.  @petebondurant58  notice I never brought up Black folks. You did that. You're bad at this. It's not me randomly saying white supremacy is the greatest domestic terrorist threat right now. it's the FBI.

  40.  @petebondurant58  means exactly what I said it did. "Right wing domestic terrorists killed more people than left winged ones. " That's a pretty concise statement. Easy to verify and not particularly subject to debate. You total of two columns of numbers, column A being much higher than column B. That's a wrap. You're the one that's moved the goal posts all over since then. You've tried to make it about Black American crime and 9/11. Both of which aren't at all relevant to the comments I made.

  41.  @petebondurant58  edited. Typos happen. Adults can admit they made a mistake. You, on the other hand, are running through the laundry list of excuses for constantly trying to change the point originally being discussed. And I made it clear that I'm not impressed with left wing terrorism of any sort. Just that it's not an equitable threat. You're the one that brought up 9/11, Intra racial group violence and everything else.

  44. There is nothing about The concept of human rights that is inherently Western or in fact even vaguely Western. Western societies have been some of the greatest violators of human rights. There is also nothing particularly regional about bigotry. Human rights are a universal and transcendental concept that are not rooted in any culture and are superior to every cultures particular expression of bigotry.
