Prelude to the Apocalypse

[BulletMagnet]

Not anymore. It's the official white house playbook. It's Steve Bannon's reelection plan. It's Devin Nunes's corrupted existence.

Just because it's the official line doesn't make it, or the people who subscribe to it, any less ludicrous. Remember, tax cuts for rich people make magic money appear out of thin air, and the entirety of economic history is thus "fake news".

Yet you probably voted for Trump after seeing the access Hollywood tape.

I'm pretty sure Rob's not a huge Trump fan in most areas, though I don't recall him (Rob, that is) weighing in on the anti-immigrant side of things on here until just these past few weeks.

It's like his solution to corruption in politics (instead of having puppet middlemen just put Mr.Burns in charge directly).

Better to have an open rapist as president than a closet raper, eh. That'd be hypocritical!

[Mischief Maker]

I like how he's commissioning the USS Gerald R Ford on the same week he's testing the waters of pardon limits.

I'd say the ship name gave him the idea but I really don't think Trump is bright enough to make that connection on his own.

Meanwhile Verizon has admitted they're already throttling Netflix. I'm sure Ajit Pai will prosecute to the full extent of the law.

So what do you think of Khizr and Ghazala Khan and their son Army Captain Humayun Khan who died fighting for this country in Iraq? They're Muslim immigrants!

Monsters who should be deported?

I guess Alaska didn't turn out to be that safe and isolated after all?

[ED-057]

Earlier I attempted to describe the political atmosphere in terms of a JPRG. But now, with all of the shifting alliances and strange bedfellows, I'm thinking SRPG instead.

Army Captain Humayun Khan and the self defeating need to point out "oh, look, a good muslim!", aside. If you think Khiizr Khan passes the "smell test", more power to ya.

I wonder what the the crime stats by ethnicity are like up there?

Imagine the opposition if people knew what they were getting.

None. Just a bit of pissing and moaning. The Acquisition of Citizenship of the UK and Colonies 1948 didn't cause riots (then again, a lot of the more able-bodied fighting men, were dead by then. So there's that)
The neutering of the sense of self, of the "Caucasian" race after WWII, combined with decades of what is considered "progressive" "education", to make the scars from the procedure less noticeable.

For someone who shoved a philosophy anthology up his arse, you don't seem that smart. Despite all your efforts to prove otherwise too. I wonder, can't you find an easier source of validation?

It's a sad day when a lack of self identity leads you to shake your fist about not feeling special enough for being white. Go live in India or something. You'll feel plenty special there.

Blinge, every time you post in response to me, it is in a very "triggered" manner. Is everything alright, my friend?

So far, I believe you have called me "Our primary cancer proliferation executive", have claimed that I am afraid of women, lack validation and self identity and you have also been first to post in my recent thread, with even more negativity.

Blinge . . . . . its ok, Blinge. Everything will be ok. I love you, Blinge.
Being nice to others, starts with being nice to yourself, so be nice Blinge. Be nice.

Only when you are ready, though. But remember, I love you either-way. If you wish to, keep firing those guns buddy. Thats ok too. Although, you might want to reconsider their range.

It does not affect me but it certainly "cools" the debates.

Nothing quite says you're affected like "It does not affect me."

You can throw up the rather predictable "HURRHURR U TRIGGERED BRO?" defence all you want mate but it's below the intellectual weight you're trying to punch at.
For my part I was getting tired of you posting such inane drivel unchallenged.

So far, I believe you have called me "Our primary cancer proliferation executive",.

Haha, that's a good'un, I'd forgotten that one.. Perhaps unwarranted at the time, but currently quite relevant.
As for the women; I didn't say what you claim, it seems. Looks like that one hit home.

Profound.

What don't you like about feeling you can't celebrate your shiny white skin?

[Mischief Maker]

Well, this thread has gone in an unexpected direction.

Fuckin' tell me about it! One minute we're debating geopolitical alliances in the middle east, the next minute it's the fucking Bell Curve.

Here I was ready to write a long post taking on all of Zen's arguments, but you made me realize that like a frog in a slow-boiling pot I didn't notice the gradually lowering IQs all around me in this thread.

Man, Trump's election turned over a huge rock in this country and look at the squirming awfulness that's been revealed.

"It's okay when that specific group of people celebrates their accident of genetics, but these other people can't celebrate their accident of genetics."

"It's okay when we do it."

"Subjugation is liberation."

"Contradiction is truth."

Someone has never seen a St. Patrick's Day parade, have they? Or an Oktoberfest. I also have my degree in European history, taking almost exclusively "white" courses*. And now I work at a university that offers explicitly Scandinavian Studies that imports tall blonds to walk around during the summer exchange programs.

I think if people were more active in their churches, local societies/organizations, or neighborhoods, they wouldn't feel so afraid about the evil Cultural Marxism assaulting them on all sides and grasp towards the last thing that makes them feel special (skin color, the nebulous idea of "White n' Western"). I mean hey that capitalist machine grinds us all down to a certain degree but "genetic pride" so to speak (read:white) is a symptom, not a cure.

Not to me. Cultural left populism is all about throwing off the yoke of our banker overlords. Cultural right populism is all about the wiener sizes of various tribal groups. Spend enough time on the internet and that's all they boil down to, really.

All according to keikaku.

Man, Trump's election turned over a huge rock in this country and look at the squirming awfulness that's been revealed.

I've been on the internet for a couple months now, and trust me, this stuff wasn't exactly hiding anywhere.

I have to ask myself, What kind of University did someone attend that he never met a Muslim he admired. Or have you met one? Or did you even go to college?

[Obscura]

Meanwhile Verizon has admitted they're already throttling Netflix. I'm sure Ajit Pai will prosecute to the full extent of the law.

That article indicates that they're throttling all streaming video, which isn't a violation of either the FCC's Net Neutrality rules or the larger concept of net neutrality (net neutrality says you can't discriminate based on the originating network; it's fine with discrimination based on the type of data. Discrimination based on type of data is basic QOS, every ISP does it and always has, you wouldn't want to use any real-time application on the internet without it).

As long as there exists at least one muslim who is not currently raping and beheading all lifeforms they see, we must cut and paste the populations of countries with violent cultures into countries that have nonviolent cultures.

As long as there is at least one Westerner that has not been baited into hating an entire religion then hope remains.

Yes, I see your point. Women's rights is 100% awesome in all middle-eastern countries. Forever. We should all migrate there to get away from the fascist theocracy the West currently finds itself in.

^ Do you think you will convince them to change by expressing hatred? Are you under the impression we were always so outstanding? In the South families used to travel from miles around to watch recaptured slaves be tortured.

I don't think we were always so outstanding. That's sort of why I'm confused whenever I see people encourage forces that would take us backwards.

The Muslims I know just encouraged me to study, and take a career making internship. They are grateful to be part of the USA and make important contributions, like Captain Khan did.

Okay, I'm about to blow your mind with a revelation the likes of which your brain will struggle to cope with. This is highly complex, so try to follow my reasoning here.
Ready? There's no turning back once you hear this.
Seriously. Your world will never be the same.
Ready?
Okay.

...

There exist muslims other than the ones you've met.

Holy shit. Did I just annihilate your soul with that revelation or what?



Okay but no that isn't my whole point.

You've met muslims who've no doubt been in the West for quite a while. Probably more than a generation. You could say they've assimilated and integrated. And that's totally cool. We want that. We want as many muslims as possible not to be mass-murdering baby-rapers. I will hug as many non-murdering muslims as possible.

Now in America we're largely shielded from un-assimilated Islam, what with an entire ocean separating us and the core of the Islamic world. But what we see in Europe with their policies of mass immigration is a method that doesn't encourage integration or assimilation. It's a straight drag-and-drop of one population onto another population, and then for some reason expecting there not to be a clash.

You've met assimilated muslims. You have not met un-assimilated muslims. They're quite a different bag of chips, raised in a very different culture which, to put it diplomatically, would probably differ from your current experiences with muslims.

[antron]

I noticed that when I lived in Germany for two years. The defining characteristic of those people is ignorance, not Islam. I did meet some very friendly Muslims in German language school though.

[Giest118]

I might be biased since I find religion in general to be trash garbage for fat idiots.

But when someone shouts praises to Allah while they stab someone to death, I have trouble believing that Islam wasn't somehow related to their decision.

It's like 9/11 truthers. "That building collapsing has nothing to do with the plane that just crashed into it."

"That person stabbing that other person in the name of Islam has nothing to do with the Islam they just cited as the reason for their stabbing."
