I don't suppose you might have any evidence to back up such an extraordinary claim?

Far be it from me to assume why you won't admit or refuse to deny what is plain for others to see, but I'll take this as a lack of denial to the original charges. I concur on being finished here. Moving on: What do folks think - can narcissistic personality disorder be stable? Two potentially...

I quote what's relevant. And leave out what isn't. You post a lot of **** that isn't. It's deflection, I get it. It's the go-to tactic when your position is ****. That's okay. This is America. You have every right to have a shitty position. Show that it isn't ****, or own it. Back to the topic...

And civil rights? The 8th Amendment? Enforcing, I dunno, laws on ****? Those be damned (which is what supporting Arpaio is tantamount to saying)? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Arpaio#Jails (it continues for a few pages' worth)

...who will be replaced by robots. And...? Are you disagreeing with the original premise?

Go take a look and get back to us. ...or continue deflecting. I recognize it's your go-to.

Cute deflections aside, what do you think, fox? Do you support Arpaio? Do you support Trump pardoning him? If yes to either, why (unless the answer is your usual 'fuck libruls' - we got that)?

'K. :rolleyes: You really think the future millions made redundant by automation can simply innovate themselves out of joblessness? What do you propose to do with those who can't?

Bullshit aside - fox, which of the symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder posted by Jagger do you believe do not apply to President Trump?

As we've seen lately, many of Trump supporters would totally be down with the Final Solution. ...that said, that doesn't address crux of this thread at all. Less jobs than people is a ratio problem, not an absolute numbers problem.

You reckon? I know this is historically been the case, but I wonder if there's ever been as long a standing/successful propaganda compaign as has been waged in the USA over the last few decades. We have an entire political party basically dedicated to the worship of wealth and the wealthy, with...

The Daily Show basically made its existence showcasing hypocrisy (from both sides, albeit disproportionally from Republicans...or is it proportional? Hmm). This would be a useful service if, say, voters had longer memories than goldfish. Nevermind learning from history when most folks don't even...

This thread isn't about *************** personnel. This thread is about Joe Arpaio. You know, who broke the law.

What does it tell you? So it was a difficult process, then?

Oh, I'm not debating that. That education tends toward liberalism should tell you something, if you stopped long enough to think about it. On the contrary. I'm pretty easy to convince: I just need evidence. Case in point with Sanders: He's been in elected office since 1981. Show me the...

I agree. To that end, Fred Trump's values were much more dangerous than Elias Sanders'. And we're seeing this play out live. Ah yes, that ol' education = poison business. You know whose company you keep with that sentiment? Boko Haram. Who is the 'you' in this sentence?

All true - but none of this counters the core of my overly simplistic experiment: With technology and automation, the amount of labor required to make everything that people could need or want will go down, while the population continues to go up. There will not be as many jobs as people...

Here is a thought experiment, dumbed down to the simplest terms to fit into a forum post. That said, this can be fairly extrapolated to the real world, and is/will be soon enough. Imagine a community with a McDonald's. It has 10 employees. Next to it is a Wal-Mart. It has 50. Across the street...

I find the beginning of that sentence highly dubious, but I realize I'm going down a rabbit hole trying to battle generations of propaganda and that's not a fight I can win. I'd go in a different direction, but I've already derailed too far. Thank you for answering that question. It makes me...

...that's kind of the point of a lot of conservative news.

As that wasn't relevant, let's try this again: Are you saying that "If the parent is X, this is evidence the *** is X?" Another clarification: Are you saying that "Lean/favor toward X = X?"

I would argue those traits illustrate mental instability. The immature ego-maniac is particularly...let's say ironic. The party that likes to call others snowflakes elected the biggest one of all.

Yeah BC, what about Hillary Clinton? ...asked nobody but the obsessive conservative. The dude's a huge fuck-up. There's really no other way history is going to remember him (well...considering how popular revisionist history and alternative facts are these days, maybe I can't say that...)...

I just want to be clear: Are you saying that "If the parent is X, this is evidence the *** is X?" Another clarification: Are you saying that "Lean/favor toward X = X?" This is already happening in North Dakota (sans bombs, to be fair). The trick is to convince the public that they aren't your...

One could argue that a version of anti-fascism would be communism, given that they're on opposite ends of the political-economic scale. Then to argue that they have far more in common than someone who presumably doesn't sit left of the communists or right of the fascists (I have my doubts about...

:rolleyes: Is it "anything left of corporatism is obviously communism"? Geez. Props to propaganda: It works.

I'm digging this strawman you set up. You know what it has and hasn't listened to, you know how it feels about terms like 'alt-Left' and 'snowflake'. You even... ...ascribe it its own affiliations and delusions. No doubt your fantasy is populated by many such strawmen. Do you disagree with the...

It really doesn't take me 50 hours to sniff out bullshit and propaganda. I'm sure. 'K. Let me know when this has to do with your alternate reality. Yeah, I dig a Mad Max-like future too. Former presidents didn't use this term because they were smart politicians and as you yourself say...

BC, honest at last, sums himself up in one sentence: ****. It's refreshing, if not already fairly obvious.

Is Limbaugh one of the voices that informs this alternate reality you've chosen to inhabit? I never understood this, by the way. If you're going to create an alternate reality, why not make it a happier one? So much fear and conspiracy in this one. I particularly like this enigmatic and...

Are you equating Lincoln with Confederates?

...is this why those hats are red?!

Most of these statues are now going down through the democratically elected channels. American ***** has been spilled on American soil at the hands of Nazis in 2017. But, 'oh nos!'. Defense thereof or equivocating around the defense thereof (the favorite to avoid BC's silly "proof demands")...

It's true! And let's not forget, everything Trump says is the gospel truth and anything negative about him is made up! ...the delusional calling out delusion would be ironic, but the definition of irony includes 'unexpected', which stopped applying a long time ago.

And here's modern-day conservatism in its most honest form: It isn't about values, principles, or philosophy - it's just the bald grabbing of power. Thanks for your honesty, fox.

I can basically chew on the irony of a white supremacist in tears over the exact concerns the Black Lives Matter movement has been talking about. This is typical of those of his political stripes, though - until it directly affects them, it doesn't matter/happen.

As said by the right. Reality is, naturally, elsewhere. Steering away from that bullshit beginning, let's talk about wealth. Q1: Who deserves it? Is 'deserve' even the right word?

There's that ego-coddling reality of yours again! I encourage you! Your rebuttals never add anything of substance, so I can call horseshit once without having to repeat it over and over again in a long, pointless 'gotcha'. Hey look, there's you confusing this for a court. It's uh...not. Steve...

Ja ja, and you'll continue to do so, trying to suck us down a rabbit hole with this feigned ignorance bullshit. It's like putting a mob boss on trial. Everybody knows he's guilty, there are numerous witnesses, but without a smoking ***, folks like yourself will cry his innocence. You are...

I'm pretty sure you can read, so I take it your inability to see the instance that you even quoted can be chalked up to your alternative-fact-fueled reality. This isn't at all surprising, and why for some time I figured it was a waste of time interacting with you. I've come to the realization...

What-about-ism for 100! So..."Show me where he defended the Nazis!" "Show me where I am a racist!" We aren't in a court, so I don't know where you're going with these 'gotchas'. If it walks/talks/quacks like a duck...case in point: Trump defends the Nazis by equivocation. You defend Trump, and...

This is another problem stemming from the inadequacies of a one-dimensional political spectrum. Polled issue-by-issue, the people of the US are firmly left of center. But if you roll in social issues into that economic left-right line, things get a little fuzzier. I haven't seen much polling to...

BC...I'm sure I've said this to you before, but this being a fresh phase after clearing my ignore list and all - you should know that your insults amuse me. I really mean it. Because the irony is palpable. But hey, if they make you feel big and puffed up inside, man, all the more power to you -...

Why would I get pissed off over a term conservatives made up to make themselves feel better? There's the propaganda puppet we know ("...and love" would normally follow, but you continue to espouse views and propaganda that does harm, so...no)!

As a proud somebody with at least half a brain, I can recognize that coming from you this means nothing. But hey, whatever helps you keep your worldview intact. And? Nah.

That's just the thing - I suspect the top goal isn't to get elected. It's to raise a bunch of money (Nancy Pelosi is a great example - when defended by her fellow Democrats, most of them can only say that she raises a lot of money. Nevermind that the party is at its lowest point in decades under...

Meh. The re-election of Donald Trump (assuming he makes it that long) rests entirely on how badly the Democrat establishment wants to shoot themselves in the foot and significantly less on how many conservatives get their feelings hurt. That said, broad brushes are very rarely constructive.

Forgive me if the distinction has already been made, but I think it's an important one: Very few southerners may have had slaves, southern soldiers fewer still, but the powerful few sending them to war did. It isn't any different now - the wars in the Middle East may be fought by soldiers who...

:D Let's be clear: Conservatives own this behavior now, because they're finally in power and can't otherwise defend any of the reprehensible **** they're trying (and, fortunately and amusingly, often failing) to do. But this has broad bi-partisan and even nonpolitical participation. I encourage...

It was a frightening development, the way Trump's election made these folks feel like they could comfortably come out of the woodwork. Hopefully this sort of daylight will disinfect their fucked up worldview.
