  1. People can't be left alone because right wingers need to fuck with people to maintain their hierarchy, because their self-worth is intimately tied to how many people they can imagine (or better yet force) below themselves. That is the fundamental core of all forms of oppression and bigotry, and why solidarity of all people under the acknowledgement that it can happen to any of us for any arbitrary distinction that can be made is the answer. As long as right wing politics exist, so will this kind of BS.

  2. Religion is a pretty normal tool for evil people to cloak themselves in the reputations of saints. Whenever you equate religion (especally organized religion) with moral authority, this, and worse, is what you get.

  3. Decades of cold war propaganda indoctrinating multiple generations through both media and the education system at every level is why (and it's hard to overstate how extensive and extreme it was). Note that the generations that grew up after that eased up a little (millennials and gen Z) have a negative view of capitalism.

  4. Ikr? David, stop calling Nanci Poloci left. She's center right (at best) and will oppose progressives at every turn because that's her job as much as it is the job of Justice Democrats to to a "hostile takeover" of the party so we can return it to a party for the people. That's not a problem caused by Trump. That's a problem caused by the "Democratic" Party being filled with people to the right of Reagan!

  5. Either she's lying, or it reveals a great deal about the bubble she was raised in...I'm not sure which reflects worse on her.

  6. There's no perhaps. There's no comparison between right wing and left wing domestic terrorism numbers and you only embolden them by pretending that there's even a chance in equivalency.

  7.  @4TwentyFour20  not that kind of mandate and you don't have the right to threaten the lives of those around you. That's normally called "reckless endangerment" in civilized society but you're being treated with kid gloves and still throwing a tantrum over it.
    10
  8. Please learn all the ways our system produces these results and fix them in your own counties, because the shift to the right is a global one and you want to head it off as much as possible.

  9. Look up the "Dunning Krueger effect"

  10. @T. Meyer  they wouldn't need armed guards if he and those like him weren't emboldening fucking Nazis and calling them "very fine people" How is that not obvious to you? Or, is it, but you're just pushing Nazi propaganda?

  11. Wow, I'm white and even I know that would be dumb to say to a cop! (I'd be thinking it real loud though)

  12. In Germany, you don't have a defacto oligarchy where public opinion has zero statistical correlation to policy.

  13. Wow!

  14.  Matthew Huszarik  check polls on policy. Most Americans want the platform of Bernie. Hell, even most Republican voters agree on many issues that the establishment "Democrats" think are radically left (meaning in many ways those politicians are to the right of the average Republican voter) The center of the country is _not- between the parties and by the metric of the full political spectrum, the views of the American public, and the political consensus of almost every European country, Bernie is a complete moderate. Even by our nation's own history, Bernie is just FDR (you know, that guy who bragged about "saving capitalism") minus the racism. You're the ignorant one and have drunk too deeply of corporatist propaganda to even recognize the truth.

  15. This isn't even a matter of Republicans doing it to "Democrats". It's a matter of the right doing it to the left. As we saw in the 2016 primary, far right "Democrats" like Hillary are perfectly happy to pick up the same election fraud playbook as Republicans to stop real populist candidates from getting nominated. This shouldn't surprise anyone though, as right-wing politics is fundamentally about favoring consolidated, entrenched power (be it buisness, government, or otherwise), and the whole nomenclature of right\left wing originated from royalist vs those favoring representative government. In short, the right has been opposed to the democratic process from the very beginning and as soon as they get past being moderate right-wing, they start actively sabotaging it when they feel threatened.

  16. Read the old Testament again

  17. I support you standing up for your rights, but I caution you that many cops flat out do not know what your rights are (because they spent more time training about violence than the laws surrounding their job), and do not take kindly to having their authority questioned, or being embarrassed by a civilian who understands their job better than them (because fucking cops). Please still do it if you're up to it, but be cautious about tone and wording for your own safety (as much as it disgusts me to say that).

  18. There are exit polls. Keep voting. Eventually if we can get things to the point when the election rigging is undeniable, something will happen. How peaceful it will be is up to them though.

  19. You think they care what's in the Constitution? They don't.

  20. Until Americans have taken back our government from being a defacto oligharchy, please don't trust our government. We the people are your friends (most of us anyways) but our government does not reflect that as it is being run by usurpers. Frankly, you shouldn't even view the US government as legitimate.
    5
  21. They don't believe the government should ever do anything to help people. Hurting people lower in the social heirarchy is always on the table for them. Not joking or exaggerating, btw

  22. I want to be clear that I am 100% against the cop here and support anyone saying they have a right to not answer questions. I'd never tell anyone "just answer the questions so you can be on your way" or any variation thereof, but I'm curious why you have found this to be a bad idea in a personal, practical sense. Not a rhetorical question, just a subject my life experience leaves me (and I presume others) lacking on.

  23. Or, and hear me out, we treat Nazi groups like Islamic terrorist groups. They're both right wing terrorists who want to destroy our country and way of life.

  24.  @brianmcintyre6132  no, but not even we're as bad. You know they're using our weapons to commit a genocide and funneling them to groups like Al-Quaida right?

  25. You don't have to register with a party, though we do need to get rid of closed primaries to help that along.

  26. Last I heard the 2nd largest shareholder in Faux News was a Saudi prince. I'm sure that their choice of "news" network was a coincidence and that this never affected their programming though /s

  27. Only the neocons and facists (though, white men are way disproportionately represented in such groups). Liberals and progressives agree the past was kinda shit and that we should try to make a better future instead of trying to whitewash the past.

  28.  @satriakurniawandjaenal9676  Sherman didn't go far enough, clearly.

  29.  @hoodaticus  that'll happen when the cops aren't really trained on the limits of their powers, and almost never face serious consequences for overreaching them.

  30. Guys, it's obviously a Nazi troll. Telling them to stop lying is a futile effort without a gun pointed at them.
    4
  31.  @Halokon  you know what would also help? Not doing shit like https://abcnews.go.com/US/court-oks-barring-high-iqs-cops/story?id=95836 Also not spending more time on training for violence than learning the laws surrounding their job.
    4
  32.  @goofusmaximus1482  missed the most important detail of that: their viewers ranked as less informed than those who consume No news at all! That's why they were called "Faux News" long before the term "fake news" entered the common vernacular.

  33. We never fixed the causes of the 2008 crash, and Trump has only exacerbated the problems. Another crash IS coming. It's just a question of when. I'd prefer it sooner, rather than later

  34. Bonus points to anyone who can point out how Land Grabber accidentally outed himself as a facist (no, the name doesn't count this time)

  35. Why would Faux News care. There are plenty of right-wing demogogues out there willing to lie for a fraction of his salary.
    4
  36.  @sparkyjones560  what does he want? Listen again. He wants to be able to rush trials to the death penalty. Why is the question. We know he's been at least sympathetic to Nazis in the past so it's not moral outrage. Why would an authoritarian strongman want to abridge due process and jump to rushed death penalties? I have my own grim answers, but what are all of yours?

  37. We need to force things to the point where they can no longer maintain plausible deniability of election results and get people mad enough to take to the streets. Once we exhaust the last few options for peaceful revolution, it will be on them to decide how this goes down.

  38.  Professor Liberal Avenger  "only" will before too long become merely "first". The entirety of the MSM is corporatist propaganda of varrying flavors.

  39. Some people have been using mail in ballots to avoid the hackable voting machines or for when they cannot actually vote for some reason.
    3
  40. If you're pushing a button, you can't trust your vote. Go vote anyway, but electronic voting is no more reliable than mail in even if you check things at the end.
    3
  41. You're missing the even bigger picture. Corporate advertising has been twisting our news coverage for decades. We need them to make them afraid of directly supporting any news agency and chase them behind the plausible deniability of "a bot put our ads there" as as long as they are making a dirrect choice to advertise with a specific outlet they are going to be exerting influence on that outlet's content. That is unavoidable in the old model of advertising, and is utterly toxic to our nation. Hell, like some of the military ads on cable "news" a lot of the ads aren't even there to sell anything. Their main purpose is to buy influence over content.

  42.  @jenkem4464  atheism just means not believing in any god or gods. Being opposed to belief in gods is antitheism. Not all atheists are antitheists (or skeptics or even nonreligious for that matter).

  43. In a civilized country, this would already cause an invalidation of the election, forcing its postponement, and those involved would be facing severe charges including, ideally, treason Just a reminder to keep perspective.
    3
  44. @Land Grabber oh semantics? i can do that better than you. We're (on paper) a Federal Constitutional Democratic Republic. Democracy is an aspect of our governing system, and restoring that aspect was what I was referring to, not claiming that our nation was a dirrect democracy. Get on my level, troll.
    3
  45. No, you don't get notified. That would defeat the point. They don't want honest elections and haven't for longer than anyone has been alive.
    3
  46. The most reliable way I've found to predict what the GOP is doing behind the scenes is to take all the accusations they make about others, discount accusations of communism, and assume that everything left is projection and look for evidence of them doing something at least highly similar to what they are claiming the left is doing. Btw, this also works for far-right "democrats" like Hillary (though again, towards the left)
    3
  47.  @lapland123  if you look up US Congress's approval numbers you'll see how the American people actually feel about their government without the propaganda and tribalism of the Presidency to skew the numbers. Short answer though: We're not ok with this. Many have just lost hope in things being able to be better.
    3
  48.  @web9529  do you see the knots you have to tie logic into to try and say that the people elected to those positions by the people were hand-picked by the President so you can do appologetics for a far-right military coup? Strange, isn't it?
    2
  49. @Shawn Brink nope. The point of an emergency alert system is that it bypasses such things. I can confirm that mine went off loudly to everyone in the room dispite having my headphones in, just like the Amber Alerts I sometimes get.
    2
  50. I can only speak for my area, but the average white person here wouldn't feel entitled to do that (progress, yay?) but there certainly still are people who would, unfortunately. Hopefully, where you live will change to be less like the 50s too and we can continue to push that behavior into a smaller and smaller population until we consign it to a shameful paragraph in our history books.

  51.  @richard3793  you don't understand money, sorry. Even gold coins didn't derive their value from being gold, but from being what the government accepted as taxes. Please look up Debt: the First 5000 Years. We need more people who actually understand money if we want to fix this mess we find ourselves in.
    2
  52. Catch-22 there?
    2
  53.  @airriontoles43  yeah, so someone that has explicitly stated their agreement with the general principle and simply politely asked someone who brought up personal experiences if they would mind sharing more so their understanding could be expanded, and you bring that kind of tone? Yeah, that's mature, productive, and makes our side look good /s or is white people better understanding the lived experiences of black people something you oppose? If you don't have anything of value to say or a question to ask, you can just move on with your life, you know.
    2
  54.  @airriontoles43  you're still talking as if I'm actually arguing against the position instead of looking for specifics to better understand the generalities I already agree with, or are you too stupid to understand the difference and how asking a question is only going to bring up what I already know? I ignored your question because it was irrelevant to the conversation, and actually just a cheap rhetorical trick aimed at a strawman of me. Congrats on earing your mute though, simply be being too stupid to talk to dispite being on the same side of things as me. That takes talent or...something

  57. The world views pretty unanimously views the US as the greatest threat to world peace and our closest allies are Isreal (a far-right ethnonationalist nation carrying out appartide and illegal occupation) and Saudi Arabia (who funds terrorists, pushes the most extreme and violent version of their religion, and is committing a genocide righy now) as we prop up the vast majority of the world's dictatorships and have a president who openly caters to fascists. Yes, we are the baddies and the new Axis of Evil. See Confessions of an Economic Hitman for more.

  58.  @tims3712  that's a flat-out strawman. I presented you with the correct definitions. You claimed they were different here. I pointed out how that wasn't true. At least be honest.

  60. If I was merely in charge of the SATs I could improve critical thinking in this country, drastically, with ease: simply put identifying logical fallacies as part of reading comprehension. Curriculums would then change to teach to the test. However, it would piss off politicians, advertisers (let's face it, ads that actually tell you anything useful about a product are rare), and stupid parents who's children would be able to point out how full of shit they are to their faces.

  61.  GBomb Engineering  money is power. One use of power is to aquire more power. Putting more power in the hands of those who already have the most is only going to lead to an accelerating concentration of it, meaning less power/money for everyone else. You can see this empirically too, where if you give money to the poorest, it generates more than its value in economic activity, but if you give it to the richest, it generates less than its value in economic activity. Even more broadly you find that a nation's prosperity correlates strongly with how well it is able to prevent wealth from accumulating in a small number of hands. Trickle down economics does not work in any sense.

  63. We don't even need their oil. We could just dip into our strategic reserves as we start an actual move away from oil (motivated by climate change, domestic security, and national sovereignty).

  64.  @OsmoZchannel  I'm not going to say absolutely don't buy crypto, but it's a bubble/pyramid scheme. If you buy, you better be sure you're not holding it when (not if) it comes tumbling down. I don't know if it will happen next year or next century, but it will come down.

  67. They're also still funneling US weapons to Al-Quaida. Our treasonous government knows this and still keeps sending more to them, effectively arming the enemies of the United States of America.

  68. Well if they didn't focus on the Russians people might pay attention to what was actually in the leaks and realize that Hillary went full Republican on voters in the primary so she could steal the nomination. They'd also figgure out that she colluded with the media to push Trump forward in the GOP primary to "ensure her victory". That's what the Russia talking point is actually about. There are plenty of countries Trump is proven to have colluded with the way they claim he did with Russia, but that gets no attention because it wouldn't serve the real purpose.

  73. So you dumped T-Mobile and Sprint and went to the company that gave us Ajit Pai? Really???
    2
  74. Hell, most of Congress under both Obama and Trump has voted to give/sell Saudi Arabia weapons knowing they're giving those weapons to Al-Qaida, the very group which attacked us on 9-11. Most DC politicians from both parties should be on trial for even the very narrow definition of treason laid out in the Constitution.

  77. Shawn Brink my only claims were that having it not happen when your phone was on vibrate would defeat the point of such a system and the specific claim about what has happened with my phone and both systems along with the implication of my belief that it would be logical to assume that such behavior would extend more broadly. I do not claim to have statistical knowledge of the system's behavior across phone models. I am using an Android for what that's worth.

  86. Because the right wants authoritarian, not democratic, government by definition.
    1
  87.  @tims3712  that's not what left and right actually mean in a political context though. The origins of the terms trace back to right=royalists left=favoring representative government. Out of that very specific historic context they broaden to mean right=supporting entrenched power, left=supporting populist power. Since markets naturally condense power, the right tends to want to let big buisness do whatever it wants (even Nazi Germany put many public industries into private hands and crushed unions as long as the owners were willing to play ball with the political establishment) but will simultaneously encroach on personal freedoms and expand other state powers as well as removing the power of the people to control their own government (which is the main tool the public has to fight against excessive growth of personal power and to protect individual rights, much like a larger-scale version of a union) Meanwhile the left only wants to get involved in things to stop abuses or excessive concentration of power. The extreme right is facism/dictatorship whereas the extreme left is anarchism. The moderates of both wings want government to get involved in things, but the right wants it to get involved to preserve/expand power hierarchies, whereas the left wants it to get involved to limit/dismantle said hierachies. The definitions you put forward are right wing propaganda designed to keep leftists from actually using the state to prevent unchecked consolidation of power and to paint the democratic state as an enemy of society rather than a tool so that other powers can grow. And, as we now have a defacto oligarchy, it has largely worked.
    1
  88.  @tims3712  no significant amout of politics even in America fits your left-right description once you get past rhetoric because it's a lie. Stop repeating it for the politicians. And yes, we are a defacto oligarchy. Public opinion has zero statistical correlation with government policy. It's a proven fact.

    1
  96.  @SoSoKayla  of course the warmongering is against Russian interests. They're allied with countries like Syria and Iran and on the other side of the regional power struggle against countries like Israel and Saudi Arabia. We also keep putting both nukes and missile defense systems (both in violation of the treaties that helped end the cold war) right near their borders. They don't want that either, but Fox loves all of it. As for destabilizing the US, when we have even an economic issue we tend to take down the world economy. Russia uses the bigotry in their own country to distract from their own issues, but actually wants us to address ours rather than making a mess of the world, so even on the area where you'd think there to be agreement, there isn't. Don't believe me? Go look at some content from RT America and tell me they're right wing.

Frankly, and again, not attacking you personally, I'm running out of patience with "progressives" who immediately tune out as soon as they get a whiff of someone implying even a small conspiracy before considering evidence even though small and medium-sized conspiracies happen all the time in our corrupt country. We have a guilty plea for targeted illegal voter disenfranchisement in NY (among other things), but still we have people calling themselves progressives who insist that 2016 was legit.

  115.  @timekeeper2538  just look up US excess deaths to see how much bs the people you've been listening to have been feeding you and then stop trusting them for news and medical information.

  116.  @timekeeper2538  plenty aren't, "who cares if fat people die" is monsterous, we've literally had cancer patients and others forced to postpone treatment because of hospital overcrowding (even with how much we're overworking our hospital staff which is going to affect overall medical care in this country for decades), and death isn't the only outcome for the illness (many more are left with long-term, possibly permenant, damage to their bodies and/or brains). Fact: this is killing way more people than the flu and plenty of them aren't fat. They've got you denying objective reality to ignore the growing piles of bodies and for what? So you can oppose the things that would end this sooner?

  117. David, stop pretending this is an actual debate. An executive order cannot override an ammendment. Period. End of discussion. No number of lawyers who wish it to be otherwise changes that.

  119. The non-Islamic, non-black nationalist right commits the most numbers of domestic terrorist attacks in the country period. (And both those groups are also right wing, meaning the right all counted together counts for nearly all domestic terrorism.

  127.  @ngantnier  I mean, that was a stupid answer to being too entangled in dollars for the good of their own currencies, but yes. Both the gold standard and having an international currency are bad ideas. To do both is idiotic, but they're trying to solve real problems in a world where even most economists don't understand how money works, so I can't blame them too much for making such a colossal mistake.

  128. This isn't even a matter of Republicans doing it to "Democrats". It's a matter of the right doing it to the left. As we saw in the 2016 primary, far right "Democrats" like Hillary are perfectly happy to pick up the same election fraud playbook as Republicans to stop real populist candidates from getting nominated. This shouldn't surprise anyone though, as right-wing politics is fundamentally about favoring consolidated, entrenched power (be it buisness, government, or otherwise), and the whole nomenclature of right\left wing originated from royalist vs those favoring representative government. In short, the right has been opposed to the democratic process from the very beginning and as soon as they get past being moderate right-wing, they start actively sabotaging it when they feel threatened.

  135. There are only 2 situations that can result in peaceful coexistence: 1-when both sides want it 2-when those that want it force those who don't into begrudging acceptance through threat or violence. Emboldening the right has upset the intimidation of the 2nd, so if we cannot get control back of our government and use the police to enforce actual law and order, a revolution will become inevitable. That is what is at stake in the next few elections.

  136.  @citrinedragon1466  my positions on gun laws are complicated and don't neatly fit in any standard box (and I don't actually own one, largely due to the fact that I have major depressive episodes and combining that with a gun in the house is something I would prefer to avoid if possible), though on the simple end I would absolutely support a universal background check because of common sense. I'm just stating the reality of human societies. There's not just one answer to that issue, though, but it's important to keep that fundamental truth in mind when thinking about such things as not everyone is well meaning. That said, total public disarmament when you don't have an incorruptible government (which has never been achieved yet) is incredibly foolish, so I do oppose that. I do agree that there are ways to reduce the prevalence of such extremism both through social changes and education, but many of them are long term, and don't help with the immediate problem so we may end up having to use force to buy the time needed to impliment such (which will take decades at minimum).
