  28.  @SG-hf8pj  You're not even capable of engaging in an information-seeking conversation. "Name calling" has nothing to do with any of it. I criticized "socialized education" doctrines and results. You came along to pretend that your views, that you can't even articulate clearly, are superior, and you sort of attempted to use your cult's pedantic memes to scare off anyone from actually considering my criticisms. You did nothing to attempt to flesh them out or even try to figure out what validity you might find in them. In the process, you exemplified everything that I am pointing out in terms of results. You don't even know how to use a fucking dictionary and instead try to diminish my critiques by using the "buzzwords" term (as a buzz word!) to signal to your groupthink cult to ignore my critiques. You are a perfect exemplar to support my argument. You're totally unaware that in a debate I could fully defend the "Progressive" worldview, relying on Darwinism and related pseudosciences to show (without proper testing) that "disparity" is innate to natural humans and that the closest thing to "social justice" that humanity can achieve is when Enlightened Elites (AKA "democratic Brain Trusts" in the time of FDR) are ruling every polity. WTF would I care about your inane FUD memes when you're clearly a victim of everything that I've mentioned? You know it. All of the readers know it. They simply fear that there are no better choices because they fear that disparity in cognitive abilities is innate. To admit that their theories have not been properly tested is to throw away their entire worldview and submit to doctrines that they hate. IOW, emotional responses with "community truth" justifications. A secular cult that claims "science" without demonstrating any scientific nous. You and your entire cult demonstrates a rejection of progressive scientific knowledge while claiming to be masters. Just as Bruce Jenner "identifies as" female when everyone knows that this is simply an agreed upon lie.

  45.  @brentjamesonparker  Let me explain something to you. People that go around like you making "labeling" arguments, that never come up with any kind of logical explanation to support the label "accusation" are just about as illogical as it gets. It almost doesn't even matter what you think "straw man" means. It's pretty obvious that you don't know what "straw man fallacy" means. A straw man, logically, is a trope or a model (analytical paradigm) or whatever. You seem to think that with your silly 5 word accusation that you've said something meaningful. What you've telegraphed is that you have no hope of following the conversations without first looking at your own "uncertainty theories" - or more bluntly - your own areas of ignorance. You don't even realize that by your own behavior you're providing an example of many of the problems I've complained about right here. You're triggered by your cult to defend perceived "community interests" (that's a rough translation from Gramsci's Prison Notebooks). That's the only thing anyone can conclude by your contribution here. Another way of putting it is that you're "virtue signaling" to likeminded people. If you want to cry out illogically "straw man something something" over and over again, carry on. That's what you and your cult like to do when you're not carrying bad "social justice" signage to the riots and throwing Molotov cocktails. Identifying you as affected by a cult is not a fallacious "straw man" argument. I'm pointing out the implications of your inane rhetoric. You're perfectly free to show contradictory evidence but choose not to. How about that.

  49.  Really Doe  Moron, I doubt that you can read or reason properly but for the sake of those that can, I already wrote that FDR fits more than any other US President based on historical facts. I'm not the one with a fetish of arguing by labeling. The New Deal and his treatment of Congress, SCOTUS, and his willingness to run for 4 terms, unlike any other US President in history, demonstrates that FDR saw himself as a kind of unique political messiah that was totally closed minded about any opposition to his "New Deal" socialism and approach to foreign policy. You morons have no idea what he was about. Apparently you don't even know what "autocrat" actually means. Did you study any history at all? Do you not ever consider the relevant facts pertaining to your kooky rants? Did it ever occur to you that FDR's relationship with Stalin was more valued than his relationship with the British because FDR was a crazed neo-Marxist Progressive that thought the Communists and their command economy ideas (as in New Deal) were the way of the future for all of the world? Serious scholars that are not afraid to look at history from an unbiased frame can see that FDR had the same beliefs as the Marxists other than his own Christian beliefs and that the USA was regarded as "exceptional" in that it would not need to go through a bloody revolution to achieve the Marxist prophecies for "progress" and so forth. When neo-Marxists denounce "Communism" they're only denouncing their rivals and/or the need for revolution. If you believe in Marx's historical materialism and "progress" you also believe in Communism. You just don't know what he labels mean. As far as Trump as "autocrat" this is literally propagated by neo-Marxist academic lunatics that "make the case" by using "signaling" and "stereo typing" profiling techniques. At best these critiques belong in a conversation about perceptions and leadership styles and how propagation by enemies can spin. But soon you see that they are the ones that regard themselves as "victims" and therefore "enemies" of an elected President. Not just that they're triggered by his speech but that they can't recognize their own childish reactions. As if they really think they can connect him with "autocrats." They obviously don't even understand the meaning behind his rhetoric. What it shows is that the academic class of paid pontificators can make careers out of teaching "criticism" to students and nobody will really see just what a crazed cult they've created over time. John Bolton's fear of Trump is based on his view of "democracy." He's a very good attorney. He's done a good job playing his assigned roles in the past. Kooks don't understand how that works. With Trump, Bolton didn't actually disagree with Trump's policies. He was triggered by his manners that Bolton instinctively profiled like a Progressive kook. Because although he's not a doctrinaire Progressive, he spends so much time with them that some of the Progressive cultural "community sense" has affected his thinking. He fears Trump because he's afraid that, generally speaking, Progressives are right about "the demos" that they regard as idiots. That they are "triggered" and that "capitalists" like Trump only care about profit. It doesn't mean Bolton is afraid of these policy changes. Bolton knows that Communists are far more dangerous. What's amazing to me is that Bolton thinks Trump is in another class from, say, the Bush family. And he is but only in a very superficial sense. The Bush family has raised their children as "conservative Progressives" in that they believe in the Progressive worldview but play a kind of Randian Libertarian role as "conservers of patriotism and stuff" in the US. Progressives think that you're an idiot. Unlike me, they don't blame their own academic doctrines and "public education" establishment. They blame Darwinism. They don't expect students to be able to catch up once they fall behind (or worse, when they show up as "low IQ" from the start). They expect a wide diversity in results from K-12 and try to create "egalitarian learning" so that the students don't notice this wide disparity (that they are partially responsible for). Apparently you've never read and contemplated Orwell's Animal Farm.

  51.  Really Doe  "You're calling people idiots just because they recognize just how deep and far your head is inserted up your rectum." LOL. That's called "question begging fallacy." Look it up. If I offer sound insight that can be used to improve the conversation and even improve the thinking of "adversaries" then that is synergistic discourse. You don't recognize it because he totally lack any confidence in learning anything at all. You have no confidence in your own declarations. If you had any confidence at all in your rants the only effect "name calling" would have on you would be you'd slow down to explain yourself better. You don't think that you can improve at all so you panic and follow all of the other indoctrinated kooks and their hiveminds. You were led to believe that certain types of people can always sort of outperform and that you can't learn from them. You must cling to "social justice" tactics and throw out inane smears in "solidarity" with the other Victicrat kooks. My rhetorical "abuse" actually shows my confidence in your ability to do better. In virtually everyone's ability to learn from conversations of all kinds. Academic trigger theory is abject bullshit. That's what's making you feel this way. None of you put any serious thought in to questioning your own biases. Because you're afraid to. Your minds were closed by your experiences at school. Read the Dunning Kruger studies. These are "psychologists" doing "studies" to show "disparity" in a non-offensive way but based on 2 assumptions: The biggest factor in human disparity is caused by material disparity, including inheritance (DNA and so forth) and that the public school academic doctrines that they went through can't be at fault either.

  52.  Really Doe  "With your Fox News talking points, their signature terminology and repetitive insane rambling of a cult member. " Are you capable at all of running "quality assurance" on your own rants and the actually implications? Fox News signature terminology? LOL. Insane ramblings from me. In theory, sure. The problem that you have is that you can't actually support your claims with any kind of evidence at all. You actually allude only to the Jacobin-Marxist-Progressive cult's form of idiotic theories. Including the theory that you're not able to put together a coherent rebuttal because you're "oppressed" by "capitalism" and "trigger speech" that is part of the "evolution" of the "oppressor" class. You're triggered to throw out these inane and totally ineffective accusations in part because they represent fears about yourself and your own thinking. Your own inadequacies and your fear that you can't grow beyond. That's also why you're to triggered by "Fox News" and Trump. You're triggered by "intersectionalism" or as I call it, Always Blame Capitalism even if you don't know theories. You're afraid that you can't compete and you're afraid that you need a certain political party to defend everything that you depend on materially and psychologically. It's sad. I, on the other hand, am not an "oppressor." My "harsh" (compared to what you're used to in our schools) rhetoric could have a positive effect on you if you'd overcome your fears and cultivated "Resistance" responses. But that's on you and it doesn't matter if you start now or at any time in the future. These are your choices that all individuals must make as the opportunities arise. You have not done much to leverage opportunities granted to you. Maybe give that some thought.

  66. Here's one of the blatant lies still playing in this video. The "loyalty" claim according to Comey is easily reconciled by the following facts: Officers swear loyalty to the Constitution. Comey acted against Trump based on "national security intelligence gathering" paradigms approved by Obama. To the extent that Trump understood this, and he did, Trump also knew that these EOs automatically expired when a new President is sworn in for the simple reason that the sworn President is the head of the Federal Executive Branch and Comey's only choice was to shift his "Constitutional loyalty" to Trump's orders replacing whatever spoken or unspoken permission he got from Obama. And actually, Comey DID carry on investigating Trump after Trump was sworn in. Comey violated his oath to the US Constitution. He chose loyalty over his own ends, justified supposedly by...what? He had no right to run an investigation on President Trump. Period. And even if he had "ironclad" evidence he could at most follow "whistleblower" law and or resign. He kept his job, kept operating in the chain of command while running an illegal "operation" (intelligence gathering?) on the Chief Executive Officer. Had there been any CCP involved in this scheme Comey could have been charged with Treason. And we don't know if the CCP was dovetailing its own intelligence gathering on Comey's illegal Keystone Kops routine. It's unbelievable that PBS is this partisan and spreading such ignorance. Even in its "premier investigative yada yada yada..."

  69.  @CarltonSmith45  I promise you that this is nothing more than "computer" systems and algorithms that have permission to write their own rules but within a known framework. It's like bragging that a customer service database "learns" as you add more customer info and then give it "permission" to modify it's own routines based on the growing data and the rules preprogrammed. Many software projects were started by massive teams and then taken over by people that can never meet the original authors. These secondary programmers start to believe the hype a bit or use the language that they think makes them look like "gurus" (it's hard to tell what they really think) and promote a "mystical" view about what is really behind these paradigmatic claims. The goal of "AI" in machine logic is to deceive. Where the deception starts and ends really depends on who explains it and how they understand it. It's still human programmed, non-sentient machinery. If "national defense" lingo, "signals intelligence" represents communications that are intercepted and if a replacement message is put in place with the aid of a computer program, that is "synthesizing" artificially the intelligence that you intercepted. It's not "artificial sentience." It's fraudulent intelligence that can "imitate" human communications from the same source that sent the original but with hopefully different outcomes. Having machines play chess is just gaming. Nothing more. It shows off the power of the machine, not sentience.

  73.  @SG-hf8pj  What nihilistic idiocy are you spouting? Today's schools are "anti progressive" in that they teach nihilistic bullshit like you're spouting all framed on the assumption that "community truth" is the only "truth" that can exist. IOW, there's no such thing as objective "truth" other than what we all agree that we can observe, and what we infer from that observation is also subject to "community truth." That is utter bullshit. We don't teach critical thinking. We teach "critical theories" all premised on the assumption that "critical thinking" is "racist" in the sense that critical thinking leads to "unmanageable disparity" or "Social Darwinism." In order to have Progressive "managed Social Darwinism" the plebs must be taught all of the "critical theories" with "racist" ideas that lead to "unmanaged disparity." It's doctrinaire Progressivism minus critical thinking. IOW, it's inherently regressive and anti-scientific. I don't need to appeal to my history or training to support what I wrote. Since you seem to think that it does I'll mention that I have a background in US Constitutional law, history (studying the history of English common law and British monarchy), computer sciences, electronics, material and biological sciences and the nexuses such that I can advise "medical" enterprises in order to obtain credentials to sell products in the USA and around the world) and manage risks. I must liaise between all of the various "experts" across "world cultures" AND "expert" cultures. It doesn't take a genius to do that. It takes a proper fundamental education and careful progressive, relevant experience. Teaching about culture and critical thinking are not the same thing. Anyone can be taught critical thinking. Critical thinking should be the seed of all teaching doctrines in any "democratized" academy. It's not. European philosophers (with the help of crazed, idiotic lawyers and elected officials as allies) killed it in Western academies when they "socialized" the schools.

  100. I agree that not all Democrats are evil. But once elected it's hard to understand why anyone would stay with the party once they see how it actually operates. Maybe in some States (certainly not in California) I can understand. All Democrats in DC are evil. Some are evil equivocators and the others are straight up, blatantly "liberal" evildoers who "liberate the demos" from phantasms of the party's creation. They still blame Republicans for losing their slaves and "labor struggles". And so called "Oligarchy" which means any powerful organization that goes against their zero-sum economics schemes (otherwise read "Critical Theory Marxism" for those that know the issues). Republicans are "monsters" and "Nazis" because these pathetic ignoramuses think that Capitalism is wage slavery and the "root cause" of all "Disparity" aka "Inequity". They dance around the specifics because Marx's labor value theory is a joke, disproven by all of history, and his "land reform" expectations only made sense in monarchies that did not allow equal access to own land. "Inheritance" was "wrong" because the material wealth had originally been granted by the monarch, in all of his examples. How does any of that apply to the USA? It doesn't. Even Stalin admitted that the US would never revolt as Marx had expected of "International Workers". But they still play with this BS in every academy from K-12 and every college they can coerce and take over. Critical Theory is not critical thinking. Changing labels and playing word game doesn't mean you're not relying on Marxist dogmas for the implied "value system" that underlies it all.

  109.  @NxDoyle  You offer no clues, actually. Perhaps you should work on self-improvement a bit before randomly abusing people that you might be able to learn from. What do you think "mainstream" means? Mainstream media, first of all, means widely distributed and widely accessible. PBS competes somewhat in those terms. But the commercial interests behind "MSM" are completely different. PBS propaganda is at least easier to to vet and while it has many of the same flaws as the other alphabet channels it does seem to be aware that it will lose support if it starts hiring idiots like Chris Matthews and that kind of fool. OTOH, they are slowly emulating the worst of what we hate about MSMS in many ways but the Gaslighting has to move at a much slower pace because of those differences that I mentioned. What PBS has in common with other "big media" is that it is an important target for control that has been identified by the "Commanding Heights" cults. Orwell's Animal Farm represented them as Pigs. Wherever you find Critical Race Theory and "Intersectionalism" taken seriously as legitimate filters to frame the Overton window you will find Orwell's Pigs behind it all, putting idiotic "grass roots" protesters and whatever talking heads they can control in Commanding Heights media loci. The actual footage on PBS is generally better, but the narration and framing is more dangerous because it's perceived as more credible. If our "socialized" schools had not destroyed the world's critical thinking traditions PBS would be fine. But PBS layered on top of the kind of graduates that are churned out by the legions is exactly how we arrived at where we are today. "Progressives" (and revolutionary Marxists) created all of these conflicts so that they could be the agents of change. IOW, their version of Broken Window theory is more in line with criminal racketeers. But it's "democratic" because they also corrupt the elections.

  113.  @elik.webber7630  I don't think any of you know what "politicized" means in the context of the US Constitution and what is called separations of powers. The short version of the story is that under English common law and every legal system that carries those traditions there is something called "case precedent". this goes back as far as Henry II and we assume before that since he is merely the first known king to acknowledge and support it for ordinary locals to use. These case precedents are supposed to be a guide for the other judges and records are kept to make sure things are consistent. The British monarch was never subjected to this kind of system. The British have never had a written Constitution that is used to justify it's "political" power. Never. In any case, in the US we still use "case precedents" but these can always be appealed in various ways. Further, judges are sworn to defend the Constitution which means that they can't explicitly or implicitly violate it. If they simply follow "case precedent" traditions and imagine that they're merely "interpreting" the Constitution to "find" new implicit rights they are also violating the US Constitution by going beyond the judicial powers granted by it. They are to interpret the law as written, not find workarounds for favor ideas promoted by any political party or any other faction. That's what legislatures are for. There is only one major party that has made it its agenda to "reimagine" how this all works. They first appealed to "Social Darwinism" and "new understanding" as code to convey that ordinary "demos" aka ordinary petitioners can't possibly understand the law the way that the Social Darwinist cult can understand humanity. They now try to cite case precedents inappropriately (through language wars and other mendacity) to get what they want. They describe their constituents in a manner that should be familiar to those that have read Orwell's Animal Farm. But so many Social Justice warriors don't even realize how much they worship and depend on Orwell's Pigs. In US legal parlance, a judge will deem something a "political controversy" under "political question doctrine" (nobody seems to know what that means anymore) meaning that it's supposed to be answered by legislatures (and sometimes the Executive Branches), rather than the courts. And in many cases it's additionally deemed unconstitutional for the Federal government to interfere at all. A "political" judge is one that follows English common law traditions while ignoring established US jurisprudence that has been radically tainted since FDR's "struggle" for Social Justice or whatever you want to call it.

  114. "Leftist" politics is all about destroying Separations of Powers. It was invented by the Jacobins before and during the French Revolution. And turned in to pseudosciences once Darwin, Marx and Freud's philosophies were integrated. Today it's usually propagated culturally through "media" and through Critical Theory academics. These "critiques" have their time and place. Defense attorneys must be familiar with these theories to defend their clients. Over the decades Critical Theory Marxists (under "explaining/solving disparity") have been trying to silence all disagreement so that only their constituents may shout their whinges to "the court of public opinion" in order to have their way in every hall of power. Exactly like the Jacobins did. There should be no leftist judges. Anyone that supports leftist politicians is an ignorant fool. "The right" is also a construct of the Jacobins. The original "opposition" was the Ancien Regime. We have no Ancien Regime in the USA. Political Identity Politics is all about filling out a cast of collectivist tropes to align with traditional Jacobin and Marxist "class war" tropes. Patriarchy yada yada, systemic racism here, banksters on Wall Street over there, it's a massive cast of Hollywood tropes all aligned with doctrinaire Marxism and Critical Theory "democratic" Marxism. Leftists get more and more obstinate and ignorant thanks to new thought leaders that make them even more confident that only they are "woke" enough to understand why things are the way that they are and yet they can't explain any of it properly. They can't even explain why they have to much faith in BS like the Green New Deal and endless wealth transfer schemes. For me what this all means is that the promises of "socialized education" have more than merely failed. It's become part of the "revolution" or "resistance" to "disparity" AKA "Capitalism". Nobody can admit today that they simply failed and doubled down year after year, generation after generation.
