i was just telling my students that today’s republicans can be likened to that perennial pest, the male wasp. Haughty, yet servile. Angry, yet asexual
What’s the genius 4d thinking in replacing Bannon, the guy who represents his entire campaign platform, with a 36 year old democrat novice with no experience.
People keep thinking what the media is saying is real, I can’t understand why at this point anyone would think that.
because youre a chump who believes things that align with your preconceived opinions but you claim to be an analytical genius and those are two irreconcilable things. The human brain is a powerful thing and instead of admitting the possibility that your preconceived notions are wrong it clings even tighter to them and the response turns into a “uh uh couldnt be true at all! Its all lies!” Maybe it is, lets look into it and fight out. Then when you kick and scream in response to that it shows you dont really WANT to find out the truth you just want your preconceived ideas to be “proven correct” to yourself. Its pretty common in most people, see: every religion ever.
NATO is not obsolete
Making America Great Again isn’t enough. Nope, not for Trump. He’s gotta go Make the Whole Damn World Great Again.
HAHAHA. Trump flip-flops on Core Campaign Issues. Trump drops campaign promise to label China a Currency Manipulator.
I don’t have opinions or preconceptions though. People who watch TV do, they have the ones implanted by the TV.
They wouldn’t know that though, because that’s how brainwashing works.
LOL again with this gimmick where you pretend to be a completely objective analytical robot. You think the act makes you look smart when in reality it makes you look like a fool. Acknowledging your preconceptions is the first step towards objective analysis.
Americans are always projecting, you guys are very very very non-objective.
I’m 99.999th percentile of objectivity. It’s not free, it’s work.
if someone could compile a list of your posts on here it could easily be titled An Ode to the Self Masturbatory Ego of a Sad Man. I never pretend to be completely objective or without preconceptions. Most try to manage them but you are just laughable.
That’s because you aren’t even in the game. But good to have a realistic self image. #FakeAnalyst

Keep patting yourself on the back chief, youre still pissing away your time on here like the rest of us. No one thinks you are 1/2 as slick as you do, no one here is impressed with your analysis. You are wrong so often its hilarious. ltj called you out on it the other day in a thread but you do exactly what Trump does. Ignore facts/failures and talk up any time you are right. Its why you disappeared for months after calling for an end of the world situation ike 6 months ago
And yet I’m the one who called the collapse of the US precisely because of this rampant corporatism and liberalism, and called USG bankruptcy…now I sit in Asia laughing as the US ship sinks.
good luck with that, you break the world into such black and white, liberal/conservative, east/west boxes when it doesnt work like that. The east is just as bad as the west, the whole world is a mess. It always has been! Acting like an Eastern government isnt above taking all their citizens assets is to ignore history, so I wouldnt get too comfy.
Americans projecting again. Nope, everything is super-functional over here. Family unit works, diet works, no problem with drugs, guns, violent crime, no problem with out of control corporatism, no problem with liberalism.
Traditionalism works! Why? Evolution! What’s that you ask? Science!
Authoritarianism works?! Who would have thunk that ruling with an iron fist and crushing dissent makes a country run smoother. Things will get better in the west, then they will get worse again, then better its not a big deal. A mere 60 years ago the East was in shambles, things get better, they get worse, they get better they get worse. Stop acting like everything that happens is this Bannon level existential crisis.
Hillary/Obama. Corporate media/tech defamation, corporate coup, unethical use of intelligence community, “white supremacist” and “misogynist” witch hunts, etc. Corporate authoritarian racist sexist neo-nazis.
I’ll be waiting over here with my SPX short on!
I think if you added 1 more right wing conspiracy buzzword in there, the whole internet would collapse in on itself
