sorry if this has been discussed in a diff thread, lmk if you can redirect me to that if so and i'll take this down asap.
wanted to get a list of known pro-trump professional skaters to talk to before the inauguration. if you know of any/have any confirmation of their stances i'd appreciate it!
thx guys.
-
Some locals in my town were/are Trumpers. A lot of skaters probably think "Grab 'em by the pussy" is the illest line ever and backed him since.
-
why
-
Paul Hart seems pretty fucking stupid have you tried him?
-
I met a Trump supporting skateboarder in Detroit. It fucked my whole reality up.
-
Josh Harmony for sure, just go to his instagram.
-
Jim Greco was definitely liking Pro-Trump shit on instagram over a year ago. I could see it from the explore page.

Not pro, but I heard a guy wearing a flexifit hat and a tank top at the skatepark say "he's better than Hillary, bro" once
-
I remember I called it and you all were freaking out about how its not possible and all that jazz, " a vote for hillary is a vote against trump". Tobey still didnt come through with the cock pics. Were your souls crushed that night?
-
if you're not wenning you're loosing and rosie is a looser.
i have no idea if that's true or not but i could see danny way jumping at the chance to ollie the white house for trump's inauguration. jereme was against those asian strikers so he prolly sides w/ big business. todd falcon and king of freestyle seem like they might.

that Kyle Fredrick guy seems pretty right wing judging from his instagram
-
If I had to guess, probably Puleo and Jason Jesse. Danny Way is a good call. I could see Mike Mo being a Trump supporter, too.
-
Pat Duffy is pretty into Alex Jones, so like probably him too.
-

I could see Mike Mo not even knowing who the current president is or the one before.

Up next on Weak Threads, "What religion makes you skate the best?" Following this message from Metamucil SB.

can't wait for wallieD to come in here and demonstrate how he is so different from the whiny over-the-top PC victims that he hates.

I feel like people are finally coming around to the fact that politics is rigged by the big money interests they just picked the wrong guy using the logic "well he has money, he can't be bought". Wrong, he is a greedy, egotistical maniac who will use the position to fill his pockets even more and further the right-wing agenda. Inequality will grow further but we will hear lots of great announcements about every company that supposedly decides to stay because of him.

The shorty's instagram posted this before the election. It's anti-hillary, so pro-trump by default, but probably more of a 3rd party kook.

Jason Jessee is no longer a Nazi. He's a cholo so probably anti-Trump, but there is that whole La Eme/Aryan Brotherhood connection.
As Slap's resident pro skateboarding Republican, Kalis is likely pro-Trump. I would expect any financially successful pro to lean right. Let the poor pay your taxes. On the other hand, Trump's free trade stance(s) could disrupt the current skate industry and make it more expensive for rich pros to buy European and Japanese luxury cars.

So most pros are libtards?

I don't think it's a hugely slanderous or inaccurate thing to say that pro skateboarders are on average fairly poorly educated. It's kinda the nature of the profession: if you waited to start your pro career until after you got a college degree you're going to have missed some of your best years as a skater. Dudes like Ocean & Suciu are super rare.
Despite all the talk about working class resentment blah blah, the main factor that determined how people voted in this last election was education level. And race, of course.
Put simply: if you're white, the less educated you are, the more likely it is you voted for Trump. So, I'd assume there are probably lots of pros with Trump sympathies.
But I'd also bet that 90 percent of pro skaters did not vote at all.
-
There was a decent amount of SLAP Trump supporters in that one thread long before anyone thought he had a real chance at winning, I was actually pretty surprised seeing that...Had some of y'all lookin real funny in the light (http://www.thecoli.com/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/5I5s8.png)
-

I would think most are apolitical. Rampant drug usage probably places many as socially liberal or libertarian, but lack of employer-provided insurance would suggest reliance on Obama care (although its right-wing think tank origins and making people buy from private carriers makes it politically ambiguous).
-
I don't want to know. Everyone in my country assumes (knows?) that trump supporters are racists/retards. I couldn't respect a trump supporter.

I understand where you are coming from, but I think your analysis of the situation is a bit off.
First, you forget a key break between Clinton and Trump "supporters" was age. Young people were more likely to vote for Clinton.
Second, we have to remember that the majority of the skateboard industry is based in California and the demographic characteristics that define the country may be different from the demographics that define CA. Voters in Michigan are probably a bit different than voters in California, a state where only 31% of the population voted for Trump. The number is even lower in most of the counties that house the skate industry. Only 9% of SF County voted for Trump, 21% of LA County voted for Trump, and 38% in SD County (http://www.nytimes.com/elections/results/california-president-clinton-trump (http://www.nytimes.com/elections/results/california-president-clinton-trump)) . So even if we are going to base our hypothesis on who is likely to be a Trump or Clinton supporter on broad demographic data, maybe we should look at where the skaters live first. Also, it is important to remember broad demographic info can't tell us about specific individuals within that data.
Third, the notion that most pro skaters are conservative because they are white and don't have much education seems rather unlikely. Skaters are often a group individuals who wrap themselves in an existential identity and probably aren't lining up to vote Trump. (Outside of Street League) the art/bohemian based philosophy of skateboarding doesn't really overlap well with Trump's neo-conservative authoritarianism. The fact that liberals tend to seek out novelty and uncertainty and are more willing to accept risk aligns well with skateboarding (http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/study-predicts-political-beliefs-with-83-percent-accuracy-17536124/#GOHuXvzlH2Hu708J.99 (http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/study-predicts-political-beliefs-with-83-percent-accuracy-17536124/#GOHuXvzlH2Hu708J.99) ). Moreover, skateboarding's image doesn't often align well with religion, business, ultra-pro police values, etc. And, skateboarding's heavy emphasis on travel in skateboarding probably also reduces xenophobia and fear of immigrants. Not to mention that skaters often aren't likely to say, "No to drugs" and Trump's attorney general nominee is super anti-marijuana.
Fourth, skateboarding, a winner in global free trade market, appears to be struggling under the current conditions where we pay some poor Chinese or Mexican guy to make our shit for basically nothing. I'd imagine most of the dudes in the industry are terrified of the idea of having to bring manufacturing back to the US or losing their international markets if this neo-nationalist movement expands across the globe (looking at you France/Le Pen). Without heavy automation like Adidas has done with their new German shoe factories (no employees needed), the companies would need to raise prices or cut their margins. Something, that they probably don't want to do considering skateboarding seems to be struggling pretty hard as it is. The dude who owns BBS had a whole story in CNN about how the huge tax breaks Obama offered wouldn't off set the cost of manufacturing in the States compared to Mexico (http://money.cnn.com/2012/02/03/smallbusiness/us_manufacturing/ (http://money.cnn.com/2012/02/03/smallbusiness/us_manufacturing/)).
Finally, despite my belief that most skaters would lean towards democratic values, I'd agree that most are probably apolitical. Other than dudes like Walker Ryan, I don't see many really giving a shit about anything other than the present and the immediate world around them.
P.S. I'm not sure how much I back the crowd sourcing of information for private gain.

Jim Greco liked some trump and right wing bs on instagram. Jeremy Klein is good friends with Greco so I'm sure he holds similar political viewpoints. Josh Harmony is really right wing. I'm sure there's more pros that like trump but they probably won't be open about it.

I'm sure Bob Puleo has some super complicated conspiracy theory about the election, involving big corporations, blind sheep, flight 77, free masons, and the number 33. But hey, it beats getting a real job.

I love the picture you paint of pro skaters being anti-authoritarian types with global trade awareness... and I'm sure there are many pros out there who fit that description.
However, the pro market I see is largely populated by conformists chasing corporate sponsorships. I nostalgically retain my memories of the old days when skating was a rebel activity but it just ain't so no more.
This board is a good example. At one point it shocked me that so many on Slap were so politically regressive. But it doesn't any longer. Skateboarding doesn't attract the same crowd it once did. This isn't all bad by any means, but I don't think it's a huge stretch to say there's a sizable chunk of pros who in some abstract way support our fascist kook of an incoming president.
And I think we all probably agree that the majority of pros are essentially apolitical. The interviews I read appear to bear that out.
I can't really believe Kalis would be a Trump dupe. I hope he pops on here & clears that up...

I'm not necessarily a Hillary supporter but to dismiss her because she stood with a person that help tear down a plaza is completely egocentric and selfish. There is a lot more at stake than just a place to skateboard.

Good point. I think I would need to qualify my interpretation of skaters by noting that it excludes the pro-Olympics Dew Tour Street Leaguing Berras of skateboarding. I do my best to ignore them, so I sometimes forget to include them in my view of skateboarding. I think if we were to add in those who create fake street spots and usually stay within the boundaries of the skate park/contest circuit, it might significantly complicate my picture of skaters.
Is Xenu pro-Trump?
I'd say that skaters have always been amazingly progressive and regressive all at once. I mean even with all the anti-conformist rebellious shit that we like to define the 90/00's with, Birdhouse still ended up kicking a skater off the team for being gay and Nierakto, a hold over from that era, treated Marisa like shit in his Vice interview. (However, on the whole, I'd imagine we are a lot better than the dudes in hockey, baseball, or football http://www.umdknes.com/knes287resources/Readings/05/R01.pdf (http://www.umdknes.com/knes287resources/Readings/05/R01.pdf) ).
Also, I think it is easy to characterize all the people who voted for Trump as uneducated, irrational, and horrible, which isn't necessarily true (although, some of the people in Trump's admin certainly fit the bill of terrible humans, Bannon, Sessions, DeVos, and Mnchunin quickly come to mind). Moreover, when we blame individuals for being irrational we miss how the structure of society encourages and allows people to benefit from racism (http://itp.wceruw.org/bonilla-silva%20rethinking%20racism.pdf (http://itp.wceruw.org/bonilla-silva%20rethinking%20racism.pdf)).
Moreover, I'd imagine a good portion of those who (don't have to regularly deal with notions of race, sexism, etc.) viewed his traits as terrible, but they were wooed by an amazing sales person who promised them amazing things so they overlooked his obvious faults or they just hated Clinton so much that they didn't care. He is brilliant at playing the PR game and great at demonizing others (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_hisXNDZkY (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_hisXNDZkY) ). In addition, he played on people's fears of the economy (even though unemployment was less than 5% prior to election), he played on people's fears of crime and terrorism (even though crime is low and no one seems to remember the threat that white nationalists play when it comes to terrorism, McVeigh and Roof both wanted to start "race wars" with their attacks) , and he did a great job of demonizing Clinton who had been a weak candidate in the first place and who the republicans had been demonizing for the past 20 years.
I get why people supported Trump. Calling them dumb, deplorable, irrational, etc., isn't going to make them any less likely to keep supporting him.

Trump is a very entertaining president, Hillary is boring as fuck and Sanders a total buzz-kill. Could be the most exciting 4 years in politics in a long time. Probably not gonna do anything too crazy either so don't worry about it

Yeah, that's a good way to put it.:)
I have to admit my view of skaters as people/skating as a culture has grown steadily more negative over the years as I've watched a once punk-fueled anti-authoritarian culture morph into... well, what it is now. But I gotta say, I've had more reason to feel differently lately. Seeing the almost entirely unanimous support BA has received from the community, for example, has been really awesome.
Bottom line is that any culture is always in flux & getting attached to wherever it is at any one point (and/or pining for lost days) is always going to lead to one feeling grumpy and hateful.

I was more referring to the ignorant views in his captions, his ridiculous lumbersexual thing, and his Christianity. But I was raised in that "cool Christian skater" thing so maybe I'm hypersensitive to it. Anyway, the kook is in the eye of the beholder & if you like him that's okay with me.

No clue what's being said in this thread because I won't be reading (feel free to skip this story too) but figured I'd share an after thought from this contest we had in Mexico recently...
After Trump won the election we went to Puerto Penasco Mexico where Levi's had just built a new skatepark to throw a contest. There was a $2,000 cash prize and tons of free gear being given away and at the end of the contest during the product toss the DJ played the Fuck Donald Trump song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkZ5e94QnWk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkZ5e94QnWk)) and we thought it was great/hilarious until we got home and wondered if the large turnout of non english speaking locals thought we were some kind of skateboarding Trump campaign. They probably just heard blah blah blah DONALD TRUMP blah blah blah while we gave out cash and prizes

It is even scarier how seriously some people take these conspiracies and how even when they are proven to be false they refuse to believe it ( https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/courts_law/conspiracy-theorists-pizzagate-shooting-just-a-false-flag/2016/12/09/6d4a7ab8-be41-11e6-ae79-bec72d34f8c9_story.html?utm_term=.b7911c2fcc14 (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/courts_law/conspiracy-theorists-pizzagate-shooting-just-a-false-flag/2016/12/09/6d4a7ab8-be41-11e6-ae79-bec72d34f8c9_story.html?utm_term=.b7911c2fcc14)). How in the hell do you get someone to disbelieve a conspiracy?Is America's fascination with conspiracies reaching new heights because the internet or has it always been this into baseless stories (UFOs/McCarthy)?
I'm just going to recommend one book by a distinguished professor that works at CUNY as well as Cambridge that does a decent job of explaining contemporary economics without falling into the simplified world of conspiracies. Maybe someone gives a shit or maybe someone doesn't but these books by actual researchers might be worth a read when trying to figure out what is going on in the world. http://www.sok.bz/web/media/video/ABriefHistoryNeoliberalism.pdf (http://www.sok.bz/web/media/video/ABriefHistoryNeoliberalism.pdf)
Also, PBS's Frontline has done some amazing documentaries on ISIS which might be worth looking at (this one even contains the word secret which might excite our conspiracy prone friends http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/the-secret-history-of-isis/ (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/the-secret-history-of-isis/) ).

No clue what's being said in this thread because I won't be reading (feel free to skip this story too) but figured I'd share an after thought from this contest we had in Mexico recently...
After Trump won the election we went to Puerto Penasco Mexico where Levi's had just built a new skatepark to throw a contest. There was a $2,000 cash prize and tons of free gear being given away and at the end of the contest during the product toss the DJ played the Fuck Donald Trump song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkZ5e94QnWk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkZ5e94QnWk)) and we thought it was great/hilarious until we got home and wondered if the large turnout of non english speaking locals thought we were some kind of skateboarding Trump campaign. They probably just heard blah blah blah DONALD TRUMP blah blah blah while we gave out cash and prizes
are you from there? that town is one of my favorite places i've ever been. didn't skate/see any signs of the skate when i went but it was 15 yrs ago. there were these little rez dogs and i found a dead one that when you dropped a rock on it made this wonderful percussive noise. you see, it was filled w/ the gases of death and projectiles would just bounce off it w/ a satisfying sound. great beach too.

Not all people who voted for Trump are racists or sexists or even idiots. This kid in my class voted for him and he knew i didn't. He didn't care. He's a tall lanky nerd that let me cheat off him during my last class and I passed because of this dude. Now i got him into skating and now he wants to skate with me, his first board he just bought was a 5boro. He's cool in my book

This isnt about race, and all that other shit you guys see over and over again in news clips. Theres alot more going on. You think trump is going to be the one to start war? No, sorry, hillary would have been the one. If you dont fucking actually research whats going on, and no, the daily show is not research, you have no leg in any type of debate.
BS news, left, right, I listen to it all... and then do my own research into what is said. If you think Hillary would have been a peaceful president, your just fucking way out there with the shit.
Again, no conspiracy here, but I would imagine there is a reason behind the negative news coverage of trump, people like THE PRESIDENT talk shit on him, everyone has talked shit on him in position of power, ALL the private interest news corporations. But while he did pander to a small population of truly racist people, turns out they voted based off the same media clips why you hate him.
Im just saying be smart. We can look up shit now and not just repeat what has been told. People are fucking shallow idiots these days.

I don't want to know. Everyone in my country assumes (knows?) that trump supporters are racists/retards. I couldn't respect a trump supporter.
And this is why I stopped being a liberal after I mistakenly cast my 2nd vote for Bill Clinton in '96.
So much regular nonsense in how the leftist thought processes work where some of you think "I'M TOTALLY WANTING TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE THINKS I'M OKAY, SO I TOTALLY HATE EVERYONE WHO DISAGREES WITH ME AND WILL IMMEDIATELY CONSIDER ALL OPPOSING OPINIONS TO BE STUPID BIGOTED NONSENSE BECAUSE I AM ALWAYS RIGHT" shit. Enough with the virtue signaling, folks, nobody cares how "tolerant" you want to look because it's all show, everyone is less than whatever image they want people to believe when they're by themselves, hell, the most racist people I ever met were die-hard leftists, but that was only behind closed doors, in public, they shamed everyone who didn't try to sound more tolerant than they were. Funny how that works.
We had 2 actual choices here, and one had proven herself to be a fucking sell-your-time-to-gain-favors crooked fuck who has been embroiled in scandals for decades, the other a fucking businessman who was the antithesis to what most people were sick of.
The fact that people actually rallied behind Hillary as if she were a "good person" in any capacity still blows my mind, she has always been 100% out for herself and couldn't even get her crusty ass out to campaign 90% of the time. She wrote you all off unless you lived in a few big cities or had lots of money to give to her for a few minutes of face time, she's just terrible. Casting a vote for her to be against Trump didn't make ANYONE a "good person" themselves, it was just a big circle jerk for people to think they were doing the right thing while voting in everything that they claimed to be against. I get the whole "I like Bernie" thing because the free shit platform appeals to many, so be it. Just that the fact that the Bern fans don't see that Trump was OUR "Sanders" who stood against the same shit we were sick of also astounds me.
I voted for politicians who all failed to do any of the shit they said since '92, so fuck that nonsense - every one of them stabbed me in the back on BOTH party lines, the only time I didn't get burned was when I voted Harry Browne for Libertarian Party in 2000, and I don't think he made anyone's radar. If Trump wouldn't have been on the ticket, I'd have quit voting this year, I'm never supporting another shitty career politician ever again, and eventually, some of you are going to come to this same conclusion after getting bent over and ass raped by the same people you voted for.
But, I'm sure somehow some dipshit will make this about race, or some other issue that has nothing to do with the fact that many of us who voted Trump simply wanted to say FUCK YOU as loudly as possible to the powers that be. It was our protest vote, deal with it. Some of us who have lived long enough remember that all of us seemed to be a LOT happier when we weren't tied up in daily PC nonsense and self-flagellation for not being whatever the media tells you is the perfect way to exist. Fuck that shit, bring back the 80s where we actually DID seem to get along well and weren't so fucking terrible to each other. Now we're trapped in a shitty time where people actually hate each other just because of who you voted for, and if you can't grasp just how fucking dumb that is, then I guess we really are permanently fucked.

You left after you had all your facts wrong on how one of the Columbine shooters obtained his guns and once I began correcting your false claims you were ghost. You have ignorant libtard views and support removing people's basic freedoms and dictating behavior in order to live under the illusion of safety and security. Anyway, my point by responding to your interruption in this thread claiming I'm a moron is that you're the pot calling the kettle black. You're the fucking dumb ass, not me. Get back to being a loser alcoholic in a miserable marriage, cuck.

You don't have to be anything besides possessing some logic and reason to spot a libtard SJW. You can keep trying harder though.
You realize that blind hate and a refusal for any open conversation with opposing viewpoints is what got the U.S. into this predicament in the first place, right?
You realize libertarianism is a mental disorder, right?
Wait...
If this is not a typo you are very, very confused. Like, hilariously confused.
Hes gotta be drunk and or high.
Its practically impossible to confuse the two terms in bold.
Hey DwarfShwagginz memba when you tried to argue about gun control and when I schooled you, you became a ghost? Oh yeah, I memba...
Also, that was a typo. Derp. Fuck, it sucks I care what people on SLAP think of me though. Not gonna sleep tonight that's for sure...
I don't think you understand how bad it is to argue with you. It's easier to sit back and let yourself shoot yourself in the foot.

HEY alcoholics aren't losers. We are actually the life of the party and usually the cops get called because of us. Not our fault that you seem like a redneck who just snorts meth alone and jerks off to his guns

I don't want to know. Everyone in my country assumes (knows?) that trump supporters are racists/retards. I couldn't respect a trump supporter.
And this is why I stopped being a liberal after I mistakenly cast my 2nd vote for Bill Clinton in '96.
So much regular nonsense in how the leftist thought processes work where some of you think "I'M TOTALLY WANTING TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE THINKS I'M OKAY, SO I TOTALLY HATE EVERYONE WHO DISAGREES WITH ME AND WILL IMMEDIATELY CONSIDER ALL OPPOSING OPINIONS TO BE STUPID BIGOTED NONSENSE BECAUSE I AM ALWAYS RIGHT" shit. Enough with the virtue signaling, folks, nobody cares how "tolerant" you want to look because it's all show, everyone is less than whatever image they want people to believe when they're by themselves, hell, the most racist people I ever met were die-hard leftists, but that was only behind closed doors, in public, they shamed everyone who didn't try to sound more tolerant than they were. Funny how that works.
We had 2 actual choices here, and one had proven herself to be a fucking sell-your-time-to-gain-favors crooked fuck who has been embroiled in scandals for decades, the other a fucking businessman who was the antithesis to what most people were sick of.
The fact that people actually rallied behind Hillary as if she were a "good person" in any capacity still blows my mind, she has always been 100% out for herself and couldn't even get her crusty ass out to campaign 90% of the time. She wrote you all off unless you lived in a few big cities or had lots of money to give to her for a few minutes of face time, she's just terrible. Casting a vote for her to be against Trump didn't make ANYONE a "good person" themselves, it was just a big circle jerk for people to think they were doing the right thing while voting in everything that they claimed to be against. I get the whole "I like Bernie" thing because the free shit platform appeals to many, so be it. Just that the fact that the Bern fans don't see that Trump was OUR "Sanders" who stood against the same shit we were sick of also astounds me.
I voted for politicians who all failed to do any of the shit they said since '92, so fuck that nonsense - every one of them stabbed me in the back on BOTH party lines, the only time I didn't get burned was when I voted Harry Browne for Libertarian Party in 2000, and I don't think he made anyone's radar. If Trump wouldn't have been on the ticket, I'd have quit voting this year, I'm never supporting another shitty career politician ever again, and eventually, some of you are going to come to this same conclusion after getting bent over and ass raped by the same people you voted for.
But, I'm sure somehow some dipshit will make this about race, or some other issue that has nothing to do with the fact that many of us who voted Trump simply wanted to say FUCK YOU as loudly as possible to the powers that be. It was our protest vote, deal with it. Some of us who have lived long enough remember that all of us seemed to be a LOT happier when we weren't tied up in daily PC nonsense and self-flagellation for not being whatever the media tells you is the perfect way to exist. Fuck that shit, bring back the 80s where we actually DID seem to get along well and weren't so fucking terrible to each other. Now we're trapped in a shitty time where people actually hate each other just because of who you voted for, and if you can't grasp just how fucking dumb that is, then I guess we really are permanently fucked.

Standing in tolerance and being intolerant of racism/sexism/homophobia isn't hypocritical. It's actually how you combat those things.
It's not rocket science. People took to a guy who flaunted racist views, bragged of sexually assaulting women, and recruited a guy who thinks gay kids should be electrocuted, and they decided it wasn't a deal breaker. You can pretend to be about his bullshit policies all you want (he barely even is) but at the end of the day you voted for someone who embodies all of those methods of hatred, and it is by no means unreasonable to stand against that mode of thinking.

You have no place to call anyone a "fucking moron" because you are in fact one yourself, even worse delusional. And where are you getting racist from? Proving my point you're delusional.

Anyone who's confused about how our fellow citizens could have behaved in such a hateful and irresponsible way should read this guy's post very carefully. He perfectly articulates the dangerous lunacy we're up against.
Oh, don't worry: we'll deal with it.:)
Y'all have shown your true colors on this one: you're willing to elect a racist, sexist fascist demagogue in order to show non Christian/white America how much you hate us. Yeah, we definitely get it. And by "protesting" in this fashion you have forfeited your right to have any of your delusional concerns taken seriously. You've empowered the worst aspects of America with your "protest." The govt is more full of dangerous lunatics than ever before thanks to you. Trump's cabinet is 100 percent corporate lobbyists, oil executives, white supremacists and evil scumbags. The fact that you believe these people have your interests at heart is tragic and laughable. But now your ignorance and hate have become truly dangerous, so it's not funny at all anymore.
This is *civil war* folks. The left has been very slow to realize that - largely because for quite some time the left has been helmed by corrupt pieces of shit like Hillary Clinton and gutless turds like the rest of the Democrat party. But new leaders are rising up, & I think it's finally dawning on everyone that we are up against hateful self-destructive fools who despise the very ideals of tolerance, diversity inclusiveness and justice that we thought the country stood for.
And y'know what? We're on the whole better educated, healthier and wealthier than y'all. When we finally get that this is a FIGHT, & that red America has not the slightest interest in the welfare of anyone who isn't white & Christian, we're going to kick the living shit out of you. It's ON. And I'm done having ANY sympathy for the noxious viewpoints you hold dear.
Wait & see... & enjoy your childish little "protest." Assuming this assclown doesn't nuke us all in one of his fits of ego madness (I'd give that about a 50/50 chance), we're not EVER going to let this happen again. Lots of people have been asleep but you've woke us the fuck up with this one.
So for that I thank you.

Lol. Good argument, but if you reverse it, it fits just the same.
Imo the west is in a sad state. Im Canadian but shit is fucked here too.
I almost think a civil war or some sort of government overun is essential at this point, no matter who or what shitty party is in control.
This election woke alot of people up, of all races, faiths etc. And I think ths collective disagreement will eventually turn into an agreement. That is the entire government must go, a reset button if you will.
Im not hardcore right or left. I actually think its better if both sides could think of acting humane above everything else we could accomplish alot more.
Shits just weird these days and so ass backwards.
As complicated as we collectively made everything the solution is simple. Be a good person.

Great post.
What's a bunch of "regular nonsense" is that people think of their election of Trump as a "protest vote". They truly think that this ultra-white slumlord billionaire who has lived his entire life dipped in gold is somehow "different" than the elitist power structure we are used to.

You guys do realize America voted for Hillary, she won that vote. The electoral college voted for Trump. I actually witness the final electoral college vote live online and as soon as they declared Trump the president, it was a bunch of old white guys cheering. I was just clueless on why they were cheering, i don't know much about politics but it was just a pretty simple choice to make this election. This isn't me bashing on republicans, you had way better candidates than Trump. Just no one gave them a chance because the media covered Trump 24/7, media fucked us big time

The electoral college is is about as fair a system as I could think. It avoids popular vote from one highly populared area representing the country as a whole.
Its seems sad that many people, up until this election, didnt know of or understand the slectoral college. Many acted like it was a new thing, but its been around since like 1877 or somewhere around there.
But, I believe only 3 people have been elected president without winning the popular vote, so this was indeed pretty rare that Trump won.
I still dont care for any of the polititians but I do believe had the dnc nominated Sanders it would have been a landslide victory.
Politics, its kinda of intersfing to talk about but its all so stupid. Its so corporatized beyond belief.
None of these people are true representatives of the people and def. Have nothing in common with the average US citizen

This has to be the absolute worst thread on SLAP. It is basically an example of what happens when blue and red Facebook feeds collide.
All sorts of strong opinions that just repeat common sense talking points. Most posters seem to have little no idea what they are talking about. Few appear to have a strong understanding of US economic or social history. And certainly, no understanding of the actual theories that underline the dominant economic philosophies in the West. Not one person has mentioned Keynesian economics nor has anyone mentioned Friedman's free-market economics (right). No one has mentioned the Fordist era of production or the post-Fordist era (1970-ish to today). Most amazingly, neo-liberalism, the dominant economic philosophy (derived from a bastardization of Friedman's work), is conspicuously missing from the "researched" discussion. Neo-liberalism has been the dominant way of governing ever since the late 70s (see http://www.sok.bz/web/media/video/ABriefHistoryNeoliberalism.pdf (http://www.sok.bz/web/media/video/ABriefHistoryNeoliberalism.pdf)). It was cemented into Western politics when Thatcher and Reagan (the right) weakened labor and again when Clinton and Blair (the left) followed suit after Dukasis's devistating defeat to Bush in 88 (a presidential race that also including a great deal of race-based fear-baiting see Bush's Willie Horton advertisement https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Io9KMSSEZ0Y (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Io9KMSSEZ0Y) and see http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/14624740222228536 (http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/14624740222228536)).
The notion that everyone got along in the 80s is nothing short of absurd and this idea shows a poor understanding of social history in the US. In 85 over 50% of whites agreed it was ok to discriminate against buyers of homes based on race, and nearly 30% favored laws against interracial marriage and 30% thought it a good idea to segregate neighborhoods. Reagan enjoyed a 25% approval rating from black Americans and 56% of black Americans thought he was racist. In 1990 40% of Americans would object if a close relative married a Latino. (https://journalistsresource.org/studies/society/race-society/white-racial-attitudes-over-time-data-general-social-survey, (https://journalistsresource.org/studies/society/race-society/white-racial-attitudes-over-time-data-general-social-survey,) http://ropercenter.cornell.edu/public-opinion-on-civil-rights-reflections-on-the-civil-rights-act-of-1964/, (http://ropercenter.cornell.edu/public-opinion-on-civil-rights-reflections-on-the-civil-rights-act-of-1964/,) https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/public-perspective/ppscan/12/12012.pdf, (https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/public-perspective/ppscan/12/12012.pdf,) and http://press.princeton.edu/chapters/s9910.pdf (http://press.princeton.edu/chapters/s9910.pdf)).
Furthermore, the 80s marked an important moment in relation to race relations. It was when the already weak social safety net dropped away from the inner city blacks, the black economies continued to crumble (the inner city went from a segregated labor pool to segregated pool of superfluous labor), and the prison system really started filling up with minorities. Around 1950 prisons were 70% white by 1989 blacks made up the majority in prison system. Not to mention the tough on crime/war on drugs, which overwhelmingly affected black citizens that correlated with intense moral panic surrounding the " wellfare queen," a stereotype that was a useful tool to assist Reagan in dismantling the welfare state that had existed from the 30s to the mid 70s (see http://loicwacquant.net/assets/Papers/DEADLYSYMBIOSISPRISONGHETTO.pdf. (http://loicwacquant.net/assets/Papers/DEADLYSYMBIOSISPRISONGHETTO.pdf.)) None of this strikes me as a time "when everyone got along."
Even beneath the broader themes, few PALS seem to be informed about any of the candidates or their supporters. Instead, it seems to be nothing more than base level hatred of the candidates, their supporters, and each other. If you are looking for easy politicians to vilify, Clinton and Trump are probably the two easiest (no other presidential candidates have had their levels of unlikability and fewer than half of their supporters "strongly supported them. (http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/americans-distaste-for-both-trump-and-clinton-is-record-breaking/ (http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/americans-distaste-for-both-trump-and-clinton-is-record-breaking/) http://www.people-press.org/2016/07/07/2-voter-general-election-preferences/ (http://www.people-press.org/2016/07/07/2-voter-general-election-preferences/)).
Clinton. Came in as a legacy politician, which was a rather unappealing image. She represents the business side of the democratic party (possibly, this has something to do with her past as a republican Goldwater Girl). Her ties to Wall Street and big donors did not make her appealing. Moreover, her E-mail server was inexcusable. (Sadly, this is just use to vilify Clinton and not create a mass movement to make sure all politicians and gov employees/politicians are using their .gov E-mails). Her "America is great already" comment wasn't a good thing to say to the large number of Americans who have basically no savings (http://www.pbs.org/newshour/making-sense/can-you-guess-how-many-americans-have-absolutely-no-savings-at-all/ (http://www.pbs.org/newshour/making-sense/can-you-guess-how-many-americans-have-absolutely-no-savings-at-all/)). Moreover, she carried the stigma of Benghazi, which a 7 million dollar republican congressional inquiry came to the conclusion it was not her fault (see http://intelligence.house.gov/sites/intelligence.house.gov/files/documents/benghazi%20report.pdf (http://intelligence.house.gov/sites/intelligence.house.gov/files/documents/benghazi%20report.pdf) or http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/29/us/politics/hillary-clinton-benghazi.html?_r=0 (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/29/us/politics/hillary-clinton-benghazi.html?_r=0)).
Furthermore, she represented a continuation of the present. This was a good and terrible all at once. America's unemployment rate was less than 5% (what many economists view as the ideal number), America's investment in clean energy was improving (note: roof top panels seem to be an inefficient way to spend gov $ on solar, however, solar plants end up being a good investment), housing prices (good for old people) and the stock market have returned to pre-recession levels, and Obamacare helped quite a few people, and off shoring has slowed and manufacturing jobs have slowly started to return to the us (http://www.newyorker.com/business/currency/why-donald-trump-is-wrong-about-manufacturing-jobs-and-china (http://www.newyorker.com/business/currency/why-donald-trump-is-wrong-about-manufacturing-jobs-and-china)). However, Clinton representing a continuation of the present was an extreme negative in the sense that income equality is continuing to rise, cost of housing has increased significantly (bad for young people), no solid solution for healthcare issues, low skill manufacturing positions aren't coming back, service jobs don't pay enough to live, the "gig-economy" and automation are threats to workers of all skill levels, the boomers are rightfully anxious about retirement (because pension plans are a thing of the past and they have done a poor job of saving), and she was a soft continuation of the neo-liberal policies (free-trade, tough on crime, and no social safety net) that began in the late 70s and when productivity in America began to drop off (http://www.gallup.com/reports/198776/no-recovery-analysis-long-term-productivity-decline.aspx?g_source=Report&g_medium=sidetop&g_campaign=tiles (http://www.gallup.com/reports/198776/no-recovery-analysis-long-term-productivity-decline.aspx?g_source=Report&g_medium=sidetop&g_campaign=tiles)). A slightly progressive status quo offered a mixed bag of good and bad things, however, I'd say it is reasonable that people would be bummed on her and what she represented.
Trump on the other hand was a terrifyingly terrible candidate. Trump represented someone who hated unions (his Vegas casino employees voted to unionize and he ignored the vote see http://www.businessinsider.com/trump-hotel-workers-say-boss-isnt-fit-to-be-president-2016-11 (http://www.businessinsider.com/trump-hotel-workers-say-boss-isnt-fit-to-be-president-2016-11)). His multiple bankruptcies left everyone getting the short of the end stick except him (investors, contractors, and workers got fucked see http://www.newsweek.com/2016/08/12/donald-trumps-business-failures-election-2016-486091.html (http://www.newsweek.com/2016/08/12/donald-trumps-business-failures-election-2016-486091.html)). He had a history of using his financial power (i.e. lawyers) to cheat his workers and contractors out of the money he owed them (see http://www.wsj.com/articles/donald-trumps-business-plan-left-a-trail-of-unpaid-bills-1465504454 (http://www.wsj.com/articles/donald-trumps-business-plan-left-a-trail-of-unpaid-bills-1465504454)). Trump University was a scam that bilked normal people out of money and when he recently settled for 25 million, it might just be another tax write off for him(http://www.forbes.com/sites/robertwood/2016/11/18/trump-gets-25-million-tax-write-off-for-trump-university-settlement/#38b770b45c6a (http://www.forbes.com/sites/robertwood/2016/11/18/trump-gets-25-million-tax-write-off-for-trump-university-settlement/#38b770b45c6a)). His campaign to get his Scottish golf course was built on the villianization of the local working class residents, it included a development plan that threatened the local environment, and his promises to create "thousands of jobs" never materialized (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_hisXNDZkY (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_hisXNDZkY)). This wasn't unique as his golf course in the Bronx never materialized the jobs that he promised either. Even though he does a great job of getting others to foot the bill (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/business/wp/2016/08/25/taxpayers-built-this-new-york-golf-course-trump-reaps-the-rewards/?utm_term=.9ef8c18fa398 (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/business/wp/2016/08/25/taxpayers-built-this-new-york-golf-course-trump-reaps-the-rewards/?utm_term=.9ef8c18fa398)). It was just another luxury space for the ultra wealthy that the average person could never even hope of using. He called global warming a hoax. He regularly flip-flopped on various issues, and when confronted with concrete evidence he refused to concede (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/nov/17/trump-camp-denies-muslim-ban-registry (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/nov/17/trump-camp-denies-muslim-ban-registry)). Moreover, his connection to Bannon (of Goldman Sachs and farrightclickbait.com) is unnerving when coupled with Trump's white supremacists supporters and Trump's statements that have overt racist, sexist, etc. messages (http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/305912-kkk-american-nazi-party-praise-trumps-hiring-of-bannon (http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/305912-kkk-american-nazi-party-praise-trumps-hiring-of-bannon)). Not to mention his ideas that more nations should have nukes (see https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2016/04/06/should-more-countries-have-nuclear-weapons-donald-trump-thinks-so/?utm_term=.70e89b55709d (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2016/04/06/should-more-countries-have-nuclear-weapons-donald-trump-thinks-so/?utm_term=.70e89b55709d)) and support of authoritarian and ultra violent leaders like Duterte (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/dec/15/philippines-senators-duterte-impeached-killing-confession (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/dec/15/philippines-senators-duterte-impeached-killing-confession)). Moreover, his lack of transparency (taxes) and obvious conflicts of interest are unnerving (hotel near White House, loans for foreign banks, property developments in foreign countries see http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2017/01/donald-trump-conflicts-of-interests/508382/ (http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2017/01/donald-trump-conflicts-of-interests/508382/)) do not offer confidence. The fact that he rarely donated to his own foundation and spent Trump Foundation money on pictures of himself and to settle lawsuits against him (http://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-spent-more-than-250k-from-foundation-to-settle-lawsuits/ (http://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-spent-more-than-250k-from-foundation-to-settle-lawsuits/)), doesn't bode well for his character. Finally, the idea that a man who was born a millionaire and imports his products from China, directly benefits from globalization, and the gentrification of society is going to save America is difficult to believe. It seems unlikely he really identifies with people who have bills and real worries. Not to mention, his bullshit attack on McCain, which was disgusting. His strange mix of anti-free-market (regulation of global trade and his intervention in the free market) and his pro-free-market (no minimum wage, no formal regulation internally, no environmental regulation, no regulation of wall street) is also worrisome. His leadership and reliance on "loyalty" reminds me of the "great" political machines of the past. Tammny Hall Part 2: The Presidency (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tammany_Hall (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tammany_Hall)).
His positives were being an outsider (that appointed overt racists, wall-streeters, billionaires and big oil insiders to his cabinet) and that he was at least willing to admit some of the problems America is facing (even though he made quite a few problems up, i.e. day before birth abortions, immigrants and crime (immigrants engage in less crime than native populations, it is the second generation immigrants--1st born generation americans--who are more likely to commit crime, and illegal immigration has drastically reduce post-recession) (see the conservative CATO institute report https://www.cato.org/blog/immigration-crime-what-research-says (https://www.cato.org/blog/immigration-crime-what-research-says)). Also, his pro-torture agenda may feel good as a form of revenge to Americans who fear/hate terrorists (as well as the 1.6 billion Muslims in the world), but probably won't do any good to protect anyone from anything. Trump's biggest positive (if we can call it that) was that he represented a return of the sovereign (see Foucault's Discipline and Punish http://www.sparknotes.com/philosophy/disciplinepunish/ (http://www.sparknotes.com/philosophy/disciplinepunish/)). He portrays himself as a "powerful" leader who is always visible who expects awe and admiration from his followers, opposed to the less visible "governmentality" power, which indirectly and inconspicuously directs the behavior of citizens.
America had three options. Bernie Sanders's New Deal, Clinton's soft neo-liberalism, and Trump's authoritarian cult-of-personality nationalistic neo-liberalism. Sadly, America picked the absolute worst option. Trump's closest political peer is a cross between Rob Ford, William Tweed, and Berlusconi (if not Mussolini). Both Clinton and Trump were garbage. However, Trump is significantly scarier than the other.
Finally, the notion that people voted for Bernie "cause they wanted free shit" is nothing short of absurd and insulting. I donated to Bernie because I, as someone who loves his union and his union job, I try my best to support other workers (and those hoping to find decent work). For the past 40 years the majority of economic gains have gone to those at the top and the majority of economic gains post-recession went to the richest Americans. The notion that if we just lowered taxes a bit more and they just had a bit more money, they'd allow some to trickle down to the rest of us doesn't seem to be working out so well. Instead, it seems taxation will be a good way to reduce inequality.
Furthermore, I viewed the best way the American gov could get the American economy working for those who actually labor (whether in service, manufacturing, education, health, construction, or whatever) was for significant government investment in the country and the people of the country. We see government investment (Keynesian economics) playing an important role in Haussmann's Renovation of Paris (1853 under Napoleon), Robert Moses redevelopment of NYC (1930ish with La Gaurdia and under Gov. Roosevelt), Pres. Roosevelt's New Deal (1933ish), and government investment in the post-WWII prosperity (G.I. Bill being huge a benefit to many white Americans). However, Trump's idea of doing this while lowering taxes will only result in insane levels of debt.
Moreover, Trump's infrastructure spending plan appears to also privatize our nations infrastructure. Public goods should remain public goods.The notion that everything is run better by business is a myth. For example, both the federal government and the conservative state of Arizona have realized that private prisons costs more than public prisons. The private prisons in AZ cost more than the public prisons and even refuse the most difficult inmates. Moreover, working in a private prisons usually means less pay, less security, and shittier benefits, unless one has an admin job near the top, which means executive perks/pay. Also, when it comes to parks, the skate parks in Phoenix are amazing and the majority (if not all of them) of them have been funded through taxes/city bonds. (see http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-37124183 (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-37124183) and http://archive.azcentral.com/news/arizona/articles/20131204arizona-private-prisons-growing-cost.html (http://archive.azcentral.com/news/arizona/articles/20131204arizona-private-prisons-growing-cost.html) )
Adam Smith pointed out that regulation could occur via the government as well as though the businesses themselves (ex. monopolies/oligopolies). Businesses can collude to fuck over competitors and consumers. Trust that market will regulate itself or that corporations that don't act in their customers' best interest will go out of business forgets that power plays a role in every interaction. Wells Fargo (opening fake accounts on the customer's dime), Ford (exploding cars, cheaper to pay law suits than fix all cars), GM (faulty ignition, cheaper for lawsuits again), Sarah Lee (knowing sold listeria tainted meat), etc. all fucked over their customers and they seem to be doing just fine. How many people who are now afraid of getting fucked over by Wells Fargo are going to shut down all their accounts, risk lowering their credit scores, find another bank, and go through the hassle of setting all their shit up again? Considering Wells Fargo's stock has risen since the scandal broke, I'm going to guess they'll be just fine. (And, since Trump wants to dismantle the federal consumer protection agency, I'm certain the bank will be just fine.) I donated to a person who I believed would actually regulate the large businesses in a way that would protect the average consumer.
In addition, I am uncertain how it became unpatriotic to pitch in and assist others. It disgusts me that Trump hasn't paid taxes in over a decade, while I pay my fair share to help keep my neighbors and my country plugging along. Also, the notion that people only work for money is bullshit. If that was the case, skateboarding would be nothing more than a bunch of Berras and Dyrdeks. Also, if people refused to live places within high taxes, it doesn't explain why the wealthy Chinese are choosing to move to Canada instead of Russia, which has a 17% flat tax rate. (http://www.sbs.com.au/news/dateline/story/chinas-millionaire-migration (http://www.sbs.com.au/news/dateline/story/chinas-millionaire-migration)). Hell, if low taxes were the most important factor, Russia's economy would be based on more than oil. Moreover, the notion charity that will solve all the problems doesn't seem to add up, because the rate of charitable giving has stayed at roughly 3% over the decades (https://www.philanthropy.com/article/As-Wealthy-Give-Smaller-Share/152481 (https://www.philanthropy.com/article/As-Wealthy-Give-Smaller-Share/152481)). Moreover, charity given by the wealthiest plays a role in increasing their power in society (remember why everyone was so upset about the Clinton Foundation/Trump Foundation).
This thread bums me out beyond belief. I'd given up long ago any belief that skaters were the political anti-conformists rebels that I assumed they were when I was 12, but this level of base level mainstream horseshit is devastating.

The fact that Lurper's comment can't be condensed to meme form is why I have no hope for America. Even if it could, politics are religion now and people aren't interested in facts.

I loved Jim Webb as soon as he hit his closing statement on the first(?) debate. Seemed like a very centered no-nonsense kind of guy during the debate too, I liked that about him, and he had experience serving with the military. After reading this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Webb#Exchange_with_President_Bush (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Webb#Exchange_with_President_Bush) I grew to respect him. He had the constraint to hold back, but if he would've punched Dubya that would only make him even cooler 8). Nice to see they made up. I'm a little bummed he never gained traction, but it's clear he is not the cookie cutter mold Democrat they would want in the first place.

Lurper, I'm gonna do my best to read your entire post. I'm also at work so....
But, don't read too closely, there a million typos :D
One thing (of many) that I forgot to mention was about Social Security and Medicare (which I view Paul Ryan as a significant threat to both of these). Often we think of these as being benefits to for the old. It actually helps us out a lot as well, because we don't need to spend a significant amount of the money we earn supporting our grandparents'/parents' bills. And according to Gallup (see the big Gallup study above), America's healthcare costs are the highest in the West, even though we don't get the best care. According to Gallup, our healthcare is super expensive due to administrative costs. (Note: Citizens in the USA and Cuba have basically the same life expectancy - 79 years)
I don't know. It seems America is facing some serious issues. I hope that I'm wrong and everyone will benefit in the coming years, but my guess is that finance won't be reigned in and Trump will play the role of the "sovereign." The richest will do exceptionally well, while the rest of us will continue to experience anxiety about the future/present, and the right hand of the state (police, prison, etc.) will gain a significant amount of power and due process will be continue to be weakened in favor of "crime control."
Finally, if anything, I just suggest reading the key parts of Adam Smith's "Wealth of Nations" as well as Marx's key responses to Smith. Also reading Von Hayek as well as John Rawls' responses to Hayek/Friedman (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcL66zx_6No (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcL66zx_6No)). David Harvey's work on Neo-liberalism (see above or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOP2V_np2c0 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOP2V_np2c0) or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AULJlwoI3TI (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AULJlwoI3TI)). David Garland's reinterpretations of Foucault are helpful and Loic Wacquant is unparalleled in his understanding of neo-liberalism, crime, and race. Also, for race William Julius Wilson and Bonnilla-Silva do a great job of discussing racial issues (https://anth1001.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/eduardo_bonilla-silva_racism_without_racists_color-blind_racism_and_the_persistence_of_racial_inequality_in_the_united_states_2nd_edition__2006.pdf (https://anth1001.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/eduardo_bonilla-silva_racism_without_racists_color-blind_racism_and_the_persistence_of_racial_inequality_in_the_united_states_2nd_edition__2006.pdf)). Also, Google Scholar is pretty awesome. For example, Tobey and Eric both mention the electoral college their recent posts. People have been debating whether we should reform the electoral college at least as far back as 1801. Maybe there is an interesting political science paper that they could draw on to support/poke holes in their arguments? I'd be curious to see what they find out.

And I thought I was the only one forced to choke down Wacquant... 28 word sentences.

Lurper murked it, thank you. The problem I think lies with the youth, they're too busy to read history and too doubting to believe it, hence the non issue in recreating it (Hitler, Mussolini, Or most of Latin America 20th century). I hope we don't lose too much as a nation before the lazy realize that they need to participate in democracy and vote: sure not every election is legit but we need to get the kids over the idea that their vote doesn't matter, it does, this is evidenced by President Obama winning twice and now the Russian puppet winning while telling everyone he has a hard on for Putin. My theory is that in order for participation to increase amongst the millennials we need to digitize voting and make the act more transparent, a 21st century make over like what has been done to the taxicab industry by uber, and the hotel Industry by airbnb.

This has to be the absolute worst thread on SLAP. It is basically an example of what happens when blue and red Facebook feeds collide.
All sorts of strong opinions that just repeat common sense talking points. Most posters seem to have little no idea what they are talking about. Few appear to have a strong understanding of US economic or social history. And certainly, no understanding of the actual theories that underline the dominant economic philosophies in the West. Not one person has mentioned Keynesian economics nor has anyone mentioned Friedman's free-market economics (right). No one has mentioned the Fordist era of production or the post-Fordist era (1970-ish to today). Most amazingly, neo-liberalism, the dominant economic philosophy (derived from a bastardization of Friedman's work), is conspicuously missing from the "researched" discussion. Neo-liberalism has been the dominant way of governing ever since the late 70s (see http://www.sok.bz/web/media/video/ABriefHistoryNeoliberalism.pdf (http://www.sok.bz/web/media/video/ABriefHistoryNeoliberalism.pdf)). It was cemented into Western politics when Thatcher and Reagan (the right) weakened labor and again when Clinton and Blair (the left) followed suit after Dukasis's devistating defeat to Bush in 88 (a presidential race that also including a great deal of race-based fear-baiting see Bush's Willie Horton advertisement https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Io9KMSSEZ0Y (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Io9KMSSEZ0Y) and see http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/14624740222228536 (http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/14624740222228536)).
The notion that everyone got along in the 80s is nothing short of absurd and this idea shows a poor understanding of social history in the US. In 85 over 50% of whites agreed it was ok to discriminate against buyers of homes based on race, and nearly 30% favored laws against interracial marriage and 30% thought it a good idea to segregate neighborhoods. Reagan enjoyed a 25% approval rating from black Americans and 56% of black Americans thought he was racist. In 1990 40% of Americans would object if a close relative married a Latino. �(https://journalistsresource.org/studies/society/race-society/white-racial-attitudes-over-time-data-general-social-survey, (https://journalistsresource.org/studies/society/race-society/white-racial-attitudes-over-time-data-general-social-survey,) http://ropercenter.cornell.edu/public-opinion-on-civil-rights-reflections-on-the-civil-rights-act-of-1964/, (http://ropercenter.cornell.edu/public-opinion-on-civil-rights-reflections-on-the-civil-rights-act-of-1964/,) https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/public-perspective/ppscan/12/12012.pdf, (https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/public-perspective/ppscan/12/12012.pdf,) and http://press.princeton.edu/chapters/s9910.pdf (http://press.princeton.edu/chapters/s9910.pdf)).
Furthermore, the 80s marked an important moment in relation to race relations. It was when the already weak social safety net dropped away from the inner city blacks, the black economies continued to crumble (the inner city went from a segregated labor pool to segregated pool of superfluous labor), and the prison system really started filling up with minorities. Around 1950 prisons were 70% white by 1989 blacks made up the majority in prison system. Not to mention the tough on crime/war on drugs, which overwhelmingly affected black citizens that correlated with intense moral panic surrounding the " wellfare queen," a stereotype that was a useful tool to assist Reagan in dismantling the welfare state that had existed from the 30s to the mid 70s (see http://loicwacquant.net/assets/Papers/DEADLYSYMBIOSISPRISONGHETTO.pdf. (http://loicwacquant.net/assets/Papers/DEADLYSYMBIOSISPRISONGHETTO.pdf.)) None of this strikes me as a time "when everyone got along."

Even beneath the broader themes, few PALS seem to be informed about any of the candidates or their supporters. Instead, it seems to be nothing more than base level hatred of the candidates, their supporters, and each other. If you are looking for easy politicians to vilify, Clinton and Trump are probably the two easiest (no other presidential candidates have had their levels of unlikability and fewer than half of their supporters "strongly supported them. (http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/americans-distaste-for-both-trump-and-clinton-is-record-breaking/ (http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/americans-distaste-for-both-trump-and-clinton-is-record-breaking/) http://www.people-press.org/2016/07/07/2-voter-general-election-preferences/ (http://www.people-press.org/2016/07/07/2-voter-general-election-preferences/)).
Clinton. Came in as a legacy politician, which was a rather unappealing image. She represents the business side of the democratic party (possibly, this has something to do with her past as a republican Goldwater Girl). Her ties to Wall Street and big donors did not make her appealing. Moreover, her E-mail server was inexcusable. (Sadly, this is just use to vilify Clinton and not create a mass movement to make sure all politicians and gov employees/politicians are using their .gov E-mails). Her "America is great already" comment wasn't a good thing to say to the large number of Americans who have basically no savings (http://www.pbs.org/newshour/making-sense/can-you-guess-how-many-americans-have-absolutely-no-savings-at-all/ (http://www.pbs.org/newshour/making-sense/can-you-guess-how-many-americans-have-absolutely-no-savings-at-all/)). Moreover, she carried the stigma of Benghazi, which a 7 million dollar republican congressional inquiry came to the conclusion it was not her fault (see http://intelligence.house.gov/sites/intelligence.house.gov/files/documents/benghazi%20report.pdf (http://intelligence.house.gov/sites/intelligence.house.gov/files/documents/benghazi%20report.pdf) or http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/29/us/politics/hillary-clinton-benghazi.html?_r=0 (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/29/us/politics/hillary-clinton-benghazi.html?_r=0)).
Furthermore, she represented a continuation of the present. This was a good and terrible all at once. America's unemployment rate was less than 5% (what many economists view as the ideal number), America's investment in clean energy was improving (note: roof top panels seem to be an inefficient way to spend gov $ on solar, however, solar plants end up being a good investment), housing prices (good for old people) and the stock market have returned to pre-recession levels, and Obamacare helped quite a few people, and off shoring has slowed and manufacturing jobs have slowly started to return to the us (http://www.newyorker.com/business/currency/why-donald-trump-is-wrong-about-manufacturing-jobs-and-china (http://www.newyorker.com/business/currency/why-donald-trump-is-wrong-about-manufacturing-jobs-and-china)). However, Clinton representing a continuation of the present was an extreme negative in the sense that income equality is continuing to rise, cost of housing has increased significantly (bad for young people), no solid solution for healthcare issues, low skill manufacturing positions aren't coming back, service jobs don't pay enough to live, the "gig-economy" and automation are threats to workers of all skill levels, the boomers are rightfully anxious about retirement (because pension plans are a thing of the past and they have done a poor job of saving), and she was a soft continuation of the neo-liberal policies (free-trade, tough on crime, and no social safety net) that began in the late 70s and when productivity in America began to drop off (http://www.gallup.com/reports/198776/no-recovery-analysis-long-term-productivity-decline.aspx?g_source=Report&g_medium=sidetop&g_campaign=tiles (http://www.gallup.com/reports/198776/no-recovery-analysis-long-term-productivity-decline.aspx?g_source=Report&g_medium=sidetop&g_campaign=tiles)). A slightly progressive status quo offered a mixed bag of good and bad things, however, I'd say it is reasonable that people would be bummed on her and what she represented.
Trump on the other hand was a terrifyingly terrible candidate. Trump represented someone who hated unions (his Vegas casino employees voted to unionize and he ignored the vote see http://www.businessinsider.com/trump-hotel-workers-say-boss-isnt-fit-to-be-president-2016-11 (http://www.businessinsider.com/trump-hotel-workers-say-boss-isnt-fit-to-be-president-2016-11)). His multiple bankruptcies left everyone getting the short of the end stick except him (investors, contractors, and workers got fucked see http://www.newsweek.com/2016/08/12/donald-trumps-business-failures-election-2016-486091.html (http://www.newsweek.com/2016/08/12/donald-trumps-business-failures-election-2016-486091.html)). He had a history of using his financial power (i.e. lawyers) to cheat his workers and contractors out of the money he owed them (see http://www.wsj.com/articles/donald-trumps-business-plan-left-a-trail-of-unpaid-bills-1465504454 (http://www.wsj.com/articles/donald-trumps-business-plan-left-a-trail-of-unpaid-bills-1465504454)). Trump University was a scam that bilked normal people out of money and when he recently settled for 25 million, it might just be another tax write off for him(http://www.forbes.com/sites/robertwood/2016/11/18/trump-gets-25-million-tax-write-off-for-trump-university-settlement/#38b770b45c6a (http://www.forbes.com/sites/robertwood/2016/11/18/trump-gets-25-million-tax-write-off-for-trump-university-settlement/#38b770b45c6a)). His campaign to get his Scottish golf course was built on the villianization of the local working class residents, it included a development plan that threatened the local environment, and his promises to create "thousands of jobs" never materialized (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_hisXNDZkY (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_hisXNDZkY)). This wasn't unique as his golf course in the Bronx never materialized the jobs that he promised either. Even though he does a great job of getting others to foot the bill (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/business/wp/2016/08/25/taxpayers-built-this-new-york-golf-course-trump-reaps-the-rewards/?utm_term=.9ef8c18fa398 (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/business/wp/2016/08/25/taxpayers-built-this-new-york-golf-course-trump-reaps-the-rewards/?utm_term=.9ef8c18fa398)). It was just another luxury space for the ultra wealthy that the average person could never even hope of using. He called global warming a hoax. He regularly flip-flopped on various issues, and when confronted with concrete evidence he refused to concede (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/nov/17/trump-camp-denies-muslim-ban-registry (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/nov/17/trump-camp-denies-muslim-ban-registry)). Moreover, his connection to Bannon (of Goldman Sachs and farrightclickbait.com) is unnerving when coupled with Trump's white supremacists supporters and Trump's statements that have overt racist, sexist, etc. messages (http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/305912-kkk-american-nazi-party-praise-trumps-hiring-of-bannon (http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/305912-kkk-american-nazi-party-praise-trumps-hiring-of-bannon)). Not to mention his ideas that more nations should have nukes (see https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2016/04/06/should-more-countries-have-nuclear-weapons-donald-trump-thinks-so/?utm_term=.70e89b55709d (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2016/04/06/should-more-countries-have-nuclear-weapons-donald-trump-thinks-so/?utm_term=.70e89b55709d)) and support of authoritarian and ultra violent leaders like Duterte (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/dec/15/philippines-senators-duterte-impeached-killing-confession (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/dec/15/philippines-senators-duterte-impeached-killing-confession)). Moreover, his lack of transparency (taxes) and obvious conflicts of interest are unnerving (hotel near White House, loans for foreign banks, property developments in foreign countries see http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2017/01/donald-trump-conflicts-of-interests/508382/ (http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2017/01/donald-trump-conflicts-of-interests/508382/)) do not offer confidence. The fact that he rarely donated to his own foundation and spent Trump Foundation money on pictures of himself and to settle lawsuits against him (http://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-spent-more-than-250k-from-foundation-to-settle-lawsuits/ (http://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-spent-more-than-250k-from-foundation-to-settle-lawsuits/)), doesn't bode well for his character. Finally, the idea that a man who was born a millionaire and imports his products from China, directly benefits from globalization, and the gentrification of society is going to save America is difficult to believe. It seems unlikely he really identifies with people who have bills and real worries. Not to mention, his bullshit attack on McCain, which was disgusting. His strange mix of anti-free-market (regulation of global trade and his intervention in the free market) and his pro-free-market (no minimum wage, no formal regulation internally, no environmental regulation, no regulation of wall street) is also worrisome. His leadership and reliance on "loyalty" reminds me of the "great" political machines of the past. Tammny Hall Part 2: The Presidency (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tammany_Hall (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tammany_Hall)).
His positives were being an outsider (that appointed overt racists, wall-streeters, billionaires and big oil insiders to his cabinet) and that he was at least willing to admit some of the problems America is facing (even though he made quite a few problems up, i.e. day before birth abortions, immigrants and crime (immigrants engage in less crime than native populations, it is the second generation immigrants--1st born generation americans--who are more likely to commit crime, and illegal immigration has drastically reduce post-recession) (see the conservative CATO institute report https://www.cato.org/blog/immigration-crime-what-research-says (https://www.cato.org/blog/immigration-crime-what-research-says)). Also, his pro-torture agenda may feel good as a form of revenge to Americans who fear/hate terrorists (as well as the 1.6 billion Muslims in the world), but probably won't do any good to protect anyone from anything. Trump's biggest positive (if we can call it that) was that he represented a return of the sovereign (see Foucault's Discipline and Punish http://www.sparknotes.com/philosophy/disciplinepunish/ (http://www.sparknotes.com/philosophy/disciplinepunish/)). He portrays himself as a "powerful" leader who is always visible who expects awe and admiration from his followers, opposed to the less visible "governmentality" power, which indirectly and inconspicuously directs the behavior of citizens.
America had three options. Bernie Sanders's New Deal, Clinton's soft neo-liberalism, and Trump's authoritarian cult-of-personality nationalistic neo-liberalism. Sadly, America picked the absolute worst option. Trump's closest political peer is a cross between Rob Ford, William Tweed, and Berlusconi (if not Mussolini). Both Clinton and Trump were garbage. However, Trump is significantly scarier than the other.
Finally, the notion that people voted for Bernie "cause they wanted free shit" is nothing short of absurd and insulting. I donated to Bernie because I, as someone who loves his union and his union job, I try my best to support other workers (and those hoping to find decent work). For the past 40 years the majority of economic gains have gone to those at the top and the majority of economic gains post-recession went to the richest Americans. The notion that if we just lowered taxes a bit more and they just had a bit more money, they'd allow some to trickle down to the rest of us doesn't seem to be working out so well. Instead, it seems taxation will be a good way to reduce inequality.
Furthermore, I viewed the best way the American gov could get the American economy working for those who actually labor (whether in service, manufacturing, education, health, construction, or whatever) was for significant government investment in the country and the people of the country. We see government investment (Keynesian economics) playing an important role in Haussmann's Renovation of Paris (1853 under Napoleon), Robert Moses redevelopment of NYC (1930ish with La Gaurdia and under Gov. Roosevelt), Pres. Roosevelt's New Deal (1933ish), and government investment in the post-WWII prosperity (G.I. Bill being huge a benefit to many white Americans). However, Trump's idea of doing this while lowering taxes will only result in insane levels of debt.

On the subject of Kalis blaming the previous Democratic Mayor of Philadelphia, for the demolition of Love Park, the current Democratic Mayor seems pretty cool, in general really, but specifically about what people do in parks.
"Along with my liberal view of park use, please don't litter, or graffiti the walls or smoke weed so obviously that you scare olds my age"
This is the text of a tweet of his from yesterday, not asking kids to stop smoking pot in public parks, but just to be more low-key about it.
Also, the park in question is Rittenhouse, which has got to be in the top three most wealthy areas of the city.

Yeah, exercising the right to assembly and free speech never did anything. Well, Civil Rights, but besides that...I mean labor regulations eliminating child labor, establishing a minimum wage, creating the weekend, but that's it...well I guess you could also count legalizing gay marriage and criminalizing discrimination against LGBTQ...ok, I guess also giving women the right to vote, but seriously that's the last one...I mean ending slavery, sure...

Affleck was ok, surprisingly, but as a whole the DC movies do indeed suck (I thought Suicide Squad was almost okay but that was by far the best of this sorry lot.) Esp the two Superman movies gave me a serious headache. Agree with H00man, the Marvel movies are much much better though they've also started to decline recently. Everything up to Captain America 2 was pretty good.

Heard hes a good batman but the movie itself was terrible because of snyder. Thats what I've heard. Watch the marvel movies. Theyre good.
Affleck was ok, surprisingly, but as a whole the DC movies do indeed suck (I thought Suicide Squad was almost okay but that was by far the best of this sorry lot.) Esp the two Superman movies gave me a serious headache. Agree with H00man, the Marvel movies are much much better though they've also started to decline recently. Everything up to Captain America 2 was pretty good.
I like the DC shows a lot, definitely not more than the Marvel Netflix shows but i like them. They get pretty cheesy but they hold up
That asshole from Fashionable Male was a terrible batman. I haven't watched any of the D.C. Shows, but if I were, where should I start?

Arrow is pretty okay, i think thats what started the whole superhero shows for DC on the CW. All of them are like 22 episodes in each season and so yeah lots of bullshit but still it will entertain you mostly

so if someone's killing your people until you sign away your property that's not stealing? morally, i mean. legally, that's kind of how nation states are built.

I couldn't quite believe Lotti on that list, guy always seemed intelligent/thoughtful.

ayo Erick Ricks, you falsely accused Lotti of being a trump kook
it's insane that even children can't see that the US would collapse without illegal labour, it's one of the hallmarks of american society, dare I say the "American Way", why do people pretend it's not, obviously this kid was told this by her parents, which is insane, because they might not be able to afford food if it was harvested by Americans receiving even minimum wage(if they could even find the labour, which they can't, they have tried in some states(Alabama being one I believe) and had to get the illegals back in), they probably went for burritos after the protest, Remerica
edit: oh and all the people who thought a vote for trump some was some sort of anti-establishment gesture, he has appointed a bunch of Goldman-Sachs people and Billionaires to his cabinet, they ARE the establishment

Not long after Texas became a state, cotton farmers realized that Mexican laborers demanded less pay and shittier living conditions than the American workers. They started to replace them and as a result were able to increase their profits. Then they realized that they could replace the American sharecroppers with Mexican sharecroppers. They'd go down to Mexico, grab some illegal immigrants, and bring them back up to work. The American workers were pretty fucking bummed, but instead of blaming the farm owners, they blamed the Mexicans. They raised a big enough stink that the US govt took notice, and effectively banned the practice from happening. What happened? The farmers saw their profits decrease, since they had been relying on cheap, illegal labor. They cried to the govt, and actually thought the government should be sending more immigrants over the border so they didn't have to spend money on recruiting them.
Oh and this was after slavery, so none of the white people even had these jobs in the first place. And this was before the industrialization of the cotton farms, so people didn't really have these jobs afterwards either. But people are still falling for this shit. Over and over.
-
woah that's interesting, man the mexicans have kinda been getting treated bad for a long time, like do all the dirty work for less, then politicians who profit from exploiting them, also use them as a scapegoat to mobilize/rally people against, to further their own personal aspirations and enterprises, it's kind of sad tbh...

she said some cunty stuff but she's obviously a product of her family. i'm glad BA [and everyone else] called her out but at some point it's your job to educate not just bully. like, it's the same as the death penalty is wrong using murder to punish murderers, bullying someone for being a bully isn't ending but perpetuating the cycle.

it isn't anyone being "butthurt over losing", its people expressing their dissatisfaction with the threat to basic human rights, personal freedom, and transparency that started on day 1 of Trump's administration.
Our revolution was kicked off by people not wanting to pay tax on tea, and you don't see why the threats we face now wouldn't be serious enough to warrant protest? Get used it, there's going to be a lot more to come.

It also has demonstrated that although many skaters are right wing neo-fascist dumb fucks, spoiled by skateparks and decked head to toe in Nike shit, with no education and no justification for the idiocy that spews out of their mouth, some skaters are actually decent human beings with a brain. If only the latter were the growing trend in our little world, but there is no justification for that belief either.

Vertigo is a DC imprint that they started in order to separate their darker/ weirder/ 'adult'' titles, but its all part of the same universe and there are occasional crossovers with characters like sandman and swamp thing. I think they were the first mainstream publisher to abandon the comics code of ethics and put out basically unrated content.
all you people talking shit on the protesters, you're wack. do these people run shit or hold any real power individually? No. Realistically, all they can hope for is to show that they exist for a second. It they did start a revolution it would be against incredible odds and everybody knows it. So why you wanna pick on the underdog? Because it's easy, that's why.

Totally, Trump is clearly a friend to the working class and has some plans to do anything to help them that he just has had to keep secret and never explain and isn't going to relentlessly bolster the ultra-wealthy, giving them reckless and unnecessary tax breaks, because he and his companies have benefitted from tax loopholes for decades so obviously he has an incentive to harm his own family's companies' interest.

It's because if people like you that a debate cannot be had. You answer arguments by just reducing things to Hillary or accusing people of being a libtard. Hillary was pro-establishment and obviously was gonna root for it's best interests, but UNFORTUNATELY this election became about way more than just about money. It became about people's rights because it sparked sectors that are racist, homophobic, and very misogynistic. There are sectors that can be understood like the working class that has seen their jobs taken away to other countries and are angry and desperate (which just need to be heard, addressed, and educated), but unfortunately this became about way more than that considering the bigotry that is at play here. With the neo-nazis, anti-gay, KKK, and other intolerant/racist groups being activated this was about common sense and protecting the people that have had to fight to gain those rights.
Trump is pro-business and he's not gonna addeess the problems he appealed to in the way he resolved to do it, instead he's gonna have to push for a mix of traditional neoliberal values with his own interests. At least with Hillary, Sanders was gonna push her towards a more socializing stance.

Hahaha oh my fucking god, you think that the information provided in your link somehow makes my claim "fake news" or vindicates Spencer and detracts from his white supremacist credentials? Spencer and Liddell wrote that piece together and I SERIOUSLY doubt their ex post facto claim of it being facetious, BUT even worse is evil, fucked up claim that what they were trying to point out was the "real" issue of white genocide being perpetrated via the advancement of rights of people of color in the west. Absolute neo- nazi horseshit.

He was being interviewed after Trump's inauguration and was struck by a Black Bloc anarchist.
i don't know anything about this sucker punched guy, he might be racist, but he didn't write that

wallied, i followed the link you provided and it suggests 100% that this quote is accurate, they even repost the original article that it was taken from. Were you just posting a link and hoping no one would follow it? the link also seems to be strongly anti-abortion, but hey, you picked the source.
idiot. all i said is he didn't write the article.

He co-wrote it with Colin Liddell you fucking simpering imbecile.

Re: ?Black Genocide?
1/ I did not write the piece. Colin Liddell did.
-
The piece was posted as an editorial by Alternative Right, the editors of which were Liddell and Spencer. Even if he didn't write the piece himself, he allowed it to be put out with his name attached as an expression of his beliefs.
Wallied, you seem very triggered by this neo-nazi's assault. You should calm down, you seem like a real freak right now.
Anyways, if anyone is interested in Spencer's more recent activities, this is a good article

Admit that you are wrong and that you were wrong to continue to claim you were right when you knew that was a lie, and then have your mother post a video of you committing suicide. All will be forgiven.

it seems like Alexactly has some problems reading what wallied is posting, because all he did was to prove that they guy who got punched didn't write what was posted? this fucking fake news bullshit is getting on my nerves, and i don't care if it's democrats, alt right or russia that puts it out, misinformation is dangerous.

hey now, I hear you, but ALexactly never said dude wrote that article, he said that article was representative of his ideology, which it absolutely is, according to WallieD's link.
The point being made is that Richard Spencer is intimately associated with white supremacist ideology, which seems totally true, end of story.
And then WallieD called me an idiot. Why you do me that way?

My request that wallied kill himself and have his mother post a video of it is delightfully cheeky and over the top mirth; wallied's fascism is in earnest.
Secondly, regardless of both Spencer's and Liddell recent claims, that Black Genocide article was originally attributed to the both of them, and even in his after the fact refusal to take credit for writing it, Spencer does not attempt to deny that it reflects his worldview or indicate that he disagrees with its argument.

botefdunn, I see it now. I read "he writes stuff like this" as something he had written.
Alexactly, I got your tongue in cheek part. I'm not saying Spencer is a good guy, but I have problems finding any true connection that shows us that he co-wrote it. If we cannot prove that he wrote it, then we cannot say that he wrote it. It's fairly simple in my opinion.
This is pretty much how I feel about this: https://www.popehat.com/2017/01/21/on-punching-nazis/ (https://www.popehat.com/2017/01/21/on-punching-nazis/)

Fair enough, I cannot prove Spencer wrote that article, only that he published it with his name attached. Fine. But that does not amount to fucking Fake News--I'm a guy posting on a message board, not a godamned reporter. I posted before I had all of the facts, but once those facts came to light, they did not undermine the point of my initial post, which was to give an illustration of the ideas for which Spencer advocates.

Also, good link.

Essal, the article you posted makes an argument I am familiar with and somewhat sympathetic to. Watch this if you have a moment.

another side of the argument:
"Dialogue is for reasonable people acting in good faith. Dialogue is between two acceptable positions. �Taxes need to be raised� vs. �taxes need to be lowered� is grounds for dialogue. �Taxes need to be raised� vs. �Jews should be thrown in ovens� is grounds for a beating."
http://thoughtsonthedead.com/on-the-propriety-of-punching-nazis-an-faq/
-
I find Spencer's punching acceptable only on the narrow grounds that it makes him aware of the fact that advocating for unabashedly white supremacist and anti-Semitic ideas and political action, for a violent ideology, is not free from repercussions -- one does not declare war and then act surprised to find a battle. I do not as a rule think it's morally permissable to assault people for their views, and I would rue a trend of people feeling emboldened to punch strangers who they think are nazis, racists, etc. But there is a reason that, prior to the last 18 months, neo-nazi writers would typically shy away from widespread media attention, especially without bodyguards, and I think that the reality that these types of scum feel emboldened enough to appear on CNN and be interviewed on the street is a MUCH more negative sign for the country, and I think Spencer getting clocked does something to restore balance to the force.

no, it's about being against the use of violence to suppress anyones ideas. the moment you start to accept violent attacks on people based on their beliefs (or any other parameter that you choose), then it's no better than any nazis or fascists.

That's assuming there is an equal value to all beliefs and that is the problem with your argument: when a groups ideas are as toxic as nazis it is a requirement for civilized society to stomp it out. The nazis didn't go peacefully into the night post ww2, and sometimes people do need their ass kicked for their beliefs, here are a few: child molesters, rapists, those who commit genocide, and those who argue that oppressing others over the color of their skin is acceptable.

trouble is that the right wing views the left as just as ludicrous and mentally ill as nazi-ism or whatever seems to you guys. so by the logic of stomping nazis, they should stomp the goofball left fringe that is easy to lampoon but doesn't represent the average liberal/democrat/socialist/anarchist/whatever left is comprised of.
not all nazis are pussies either.
i mean, if people had to fight to have an opinion there'd be a lot less opinions on both sides.
i'm not real good at loving my enemy or whatever, i wish horrible shit on people for petty stuff but i do believe you can't defeat hate w/ hate. only w/ love and understanding.

i cannot accept that violence is justified towards some people based on their beliefs. based on someones action it becomes very different, but as a civilized society we cannot have social norms (or worse, laws) that say that it's ok to punch people you disagree with. not even 3rd world countries have it like that.
i don't think reasoning is going to work. what needs to happen is that these potential dumbasses are informed prior to "joining". once they are in it's too late in most cases.

Violence is at the core of fascist and Nazi ideology. It wasn't a serious of unfortunate mistakes that made them violent and destructive. A "wait and see" policy is pointless in this instance.

I was once attacked by 3 nazis that beat me with knuckledusters and clubs, an incident that sent me to the hospital with some nice head injuries. It all started because there was a massive nazi attack to an anarchist protest and i happened to walk by the anarchist's area and to also sport long hair and a beard so the fascist scum thought i was taking part in the anarchist protest. The beating happened in front of a policeman who told me to fuck off when i asked for help, bleeding like hell.
The next day i swore that if time came and i found a confirmed nazi (of the kind that walk around in nazi t-shirts and participate in beatings - there are many like this in Greece) alone in some remote place, i would cut a tendon or two of his. I also sued the police force but was later fucked over by them in a random weed search for doing so.
3 years have passed and i still think about hooking with nazis in remote places but my rage has started to calm a little. I don't know if i will ever cancel my oath. I am not happy with my self for thinking like this but i am also not happy with nazis and right wing idiots existing because they promote evil ideas. The gif with the nazi being punched made the facebook news in Greece too and was widely accepted mainly because the pos being punched is a journalist who has been spreading fascist ideology and lies.
i am not sure if randomly attacking nazis is a good practice but in my experience i was the one that got beaten and received no justice so watching that guy punching the nazi reporter in that gif gave me a smile.
sorry for the long rant, had to get this shit out of me but should have probably shared this in the "things you almost posted but you didn't" thread

It gets more complicated considering the fact that these groups portray themselves as non-violent. They portray this "peaceful" image that represents them as valid groups open for debate and that are united for political purposes only. This is so that when something violent happens such as one of their members being punched they appear to be in the right because they are "peaceful".
It's very difficult and frustrating because these sorts of beliefs are not even considerable for debate, they are total crap that was used to oppress people. It's angering that these groups get the spaces to speak their minds and promulgate their ideas while not being called out. It's not wrong of them to speak what they believe, but we need to call them out and establish the fact that those ideas have done wrong in the past and that they are definitely not right.
But yeah radicalism is getting us to the point of peace vs any means necessary

I do not agree with the violent protests. Fucking stupid if you ask me. All the rioting and shit, what the fuck is that gonna do? Get Trump out of office because of violent acts towards establishment? Makes me feel sick to agree with them on the fact that Trump is "Not My President".
Richard Spencer deserved that fucking punch though. Bravo to that brave kamikaze soul to do us all a favor.
Trump has already shown what he is capable of. Everyone praising Trump for what he is doing is oblivious to the fact that he is a racist, homophobic, xenophobic, bigot, non-tax paying, cut-taxes-for-the-rich, three-time marrying, Christian, overweight, billionaire, got-his-hands-in-pockets, looking-out-for-himself, hypocritical asshole.

Interestingly enough, your admittance of being wrong will not undo the potential harms that many people may experience if Trump carries out his (contradictory) promises. To those of us that are happy that income for normal families has finally started rising and unemployment is below 5% and that the more accurate U-6 rating of unemployment is finally below 10%, his "wild card" bullshit does not sound appealing (http://www.cnbc.com/2016/10/07/unemployment-rate-shows-at-5-but-more-realistic-rate-is-higher.html (http://www.cnbc.com/2016/10/07/unemployment-rate-shows-at-5-but-more-realistic-rate-is-higher.html)).
Furthermore, your admittance of being wrong will be and is worth absolutely nothing in the real world. Despite your belief that this matters, it doesn't. To 18 million who may lose the healthcare that they got via the ACA, your admittance of being wrong won't mean shit (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2017/01/17/18-million-would-lose-insurance-in-first-year-of-obamacare-repeal-without-replacement-cbo-report-says/?utm_term=.b399934b7a18 (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2017/01/17/18-million-would-lose-insurance-in-first-year-of-obamacare-repeal-without-replacement-cbo-report-says/?utm_term=.b399934b7a18)).

For those of us under the age of 47, the Trump/Ryan threat to our Social Security and Medicare isn't appealing either (http://www.forbes.com/sites/johnwasik/2016/11/16/three-ways-trump-gop-may-cut-social-security-medicare/#1dadee0c4e0e (http://www.forbes.com/sites/johnwasik/2016/11/16/three-ways-trump-gop-may-cut-social-security-medicare/#1dadee0c4e0e)). To those who have their water, air, and land polluted as the EPA is dismantled or dramatically weakened your admittance of wrong wont' mean shit (http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/politics/ct-trump-epa-freeze-grants-contracts-20170123-story.html (http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/politics/ct-trump-epa-freeze-grants-contracts-20170123-story.html)). You won't mean shit when the FDA rolls back food safety measures and we are getting sick more often from tainted food (http://thehill.com/regulation/healthcare/296152-trump-says-he-would-eliminate-food-safety-regulations (http://thehill.com/regulation/healthcare/296152-trump-says-he-would-eliminate-food-safety-regulations)). It is not going to mean shit to those who continue to get fucked over by the banks when Trump weakens the consumer financial protection bureau (http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/finance/310155-consumer-financial-protection-will-remain-alive-under-trump (http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/finance/310155-consumer-financial-protection-will-remain-alive-under-trump)). When he reduces the regulations on Wall Street even more (remember who got us into the recession and who benefited from the recovery?), your acknowledgement will still be worth nothing (http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/politics/ct-mnuchin-wall-street-20161130-story.html (http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/politics/ct-mnuchin-wall-street-20161130-story.html)). It won't fucking matter to the parents who watch their public school get replaced with a for profit charter school or a religious school under DeVos who appears to have no clue about anything other than how to born wealthy and marry into more money (http://www.politico.com/story/2017/01/betsy-devos-education-public-schools-233720 (http://www.politico.com/story/2017/01/betsy-devos-education-public-schools-233720)). To those who are benefiting from the expansion of clean energy jobs your apology won't mean shit (http://www.tennessean.com/story/opinion/2017/01/12/trumps-epa-pick-could-setback-tennessees-economy/96467586/ (http://www.tennessean.com/story/opinion/2017/01/12/trumps-epa-pick-could-setback-tennessees-economy/96467586/)). To me and everyone else that has a union job, your apology won't mean a damn thing after my union is dramatically weakened (http://www.wsj.com/articles/donald-trump-blasts-carrier-union-leader-1481169666 (http://www.wsj.com/articles/donald-trump-blasts-carrier-union-leader-1481169666) or http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/lake-county-news-sun/opinion/ct-lns-reeder-janus-st-1221-20161220-story.html (http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/lake-county-news-sun/opinion/ct-lns-reeder-janus-st-1221-20161220-story.html)). As Trump continues to insult civil rights leaders (attempting to weaken the cause as well as anyone who dissents against him) your admittance won't mean anything (http://www.wbur.org/radioboston/2017/01/16/john-lewis-1963m (http://www.wbur.org/radioboston/2017/01/16/john-lewis-1963m)). To those who fear Trump's emboldening of neo-nazis, white supremacists, and the far-right, it won't mean shit either (http://myfox8.com/2016/11/14/church-vandalized-with-racist-message-trump-nation-whites-only/ (http://myfox8.com/2016/11/14/church-vandalized-with-racist-message-trump-nation-whites-only/) or https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2016/11/15/you-can-all-go-home-now-police-investigate-hate-filled-note-targeting-iowa-muslim-family/?utm_term=.be98f82f7b29 (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2016/11/15/you-can-all-go-home-now-police-investigate-hate-filled-note-targeting-iowa-muslim-family/?utm_term=.be98f82f7b29)).
To those who fear that Trump is a existential threat to democracy, if he turns out to be the ultra-nationalistic authoritarian many of us fear him to be, your admittance of being wrong is worth nothing. He is already engaged in falsifying things that don't matter at all (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/21/us/politics/trump-white-house-briefing-inauguration-crowd-size.html?_r=0 (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/21/us/politics/trump-white-house-briefing-inauguration-crowd-size.html?_r=0)) and he is great an inspiring hate. I don't know about you, but the idea of the president lying about something as silly as how many people came to his inauguration does not inspire confidence that the truth matters to this guy or his team at all. Governments that simply make up shit--even when there is verifiable evidence to the contrary--are very scary. Not to mention that he won't divest from his companies (severe conflict on interest), and he has stated that he will never release his tax returns, keeping all of America in the dark about his actual investments and connections (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/22/us/politics/donald-trump-tax-returns.html (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/22/us/politics/donald-trump-tax-returns.html)).
Finally, as someone who likes change, what changes exactly are going to occur to you because of Trump's transition? Do you have a pre-existing condition that might block you from obtaining healthcare? Are you going to lose your healthcare with this transition? Is your union being threatened? Did Trump increase the fees on your new home that you were thinking of buying (https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2017-01-20/trump-administration-overturns-obama-s-fha-mortgage-fee-cut (https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2017-01-20/trump-administration-overturns-obama-s-fha-mortgage-fee-cut))? Are you dealing with struggle of dealing with a student loan, if so, you think Trump's "change" sounds better (http://www.forbes.com/sites/nickclements/2016/07/07/5-student-loan-promises-from-hillary-clinton/2/#46933fd7b1f6 (http://www.forbes.com/sites/nickclements/2016/07/07/5-student-loan-promises-from-hillary-clinton/2/#46933fd7b1f6) or http://www.forbes.com/sites/andrewjosuweit/2017/01/24/heres-what-student-loan-borrowers-expect-now-that-trump-is-president/#e54c3f264e02 (http://www.forbes.com/sites/andrewjosuweit/2017/01/24/heres-what-student-loan-borrowers-expect-now-that-trump-is-president/#e54c3f264e02)).
I'd imagine that you most likely live in a bubble (or think that you live in a bubble) where whether Clinton or Trump or Sanders or J. Bush had won you life wouldn't change one bit. It is easy to "enjoy change" when it is other people that may experience the negative aspects of change. People's lives can certainly change for the worst at anytime, but to celebrate that or encourage that harm is pretty fucked up. People's lives can change for the better as well. Maybe this is a better thing to celebrate and encourage.

When he reduces the regulations on Wall Street even more (remember who got us into the recession and who benefited from the recovery?), your acknowledgement will still be worth nothing (mnuchin-wall-street-story (http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/politics/ct-mnuchin-wall-street-20161130-story.html))
Yeah, but the current regulation is kinda sucky. Changing the quantity of regulation is not the same thing as changing the quality of it.
Here is an example (https://www.federalreserve.gov/econresdata/feds/2016/files/2016102pap.pdf):
"Our results show that bond liquidity deterioration around rating downgrades has worsened following the implementation of the Volcker Rule. We find such adverse effects whether we benchmark to the pre-crisis period or to the period just before the Volcker Rule was enacted, and we find that the relative deterioration in liquidity around these stress events is as high during the post-Volcker period as during the Financial Crisis. Given how badly liquidity deteriorated during the financial crisis, this finding suggests that the Volcker Rule may have serious consequences for corporate bond market functioning in stress times."
-The Volcker Rule and Market-Making in Times of Stress
So in other words, regulation passed to stabilize the economy had the unintended effect of limiting bond market liquidity, because banks have cut back on market making functions. Of course, Dodd-Frank isn't so bad to warrant a full repeal, but it's still full of issues. I think the MFA (https://www.managedfunds.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/MFA_Response_to_Dec_2014_FSOC_Notice1.pdf) hit the nail on the head:
"systemic risk is best addressed holistically, as opposed to by regulation of individual participants. Key, and we believe laudable, examples of such an approach are regulations implemented under Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Act, such as central clearing and margin requirements, which apply to markets holistically and approach sources of potential risk on a market structure-basis. This regulatory approach, which may, at first glance, appear to leave entities unregulated because it does not prioritize entity-level regulatory requirements, addresses fundamental market behaviors and investment activities that represent sources of risk comprehensively and in a manner that is even-handed and limits opportunities for regulatory arbitrage. These regulatory efforts have also been effective at addressing structural weaknesses in important parts of short-term funding markets, such as tri-party repo and money market funds. We believe that a market structure-approach is the appropriate method of addressing potential systemic risk because it regulates both sides of every relevant transaction, thereby addressing the financial interconnections between firms. With a comprehensive focus on markets and investing activities, the Council can strengthen the system as a whole, rather than merely changing characteristics of certain isolated individual market participants."

I'll check out the link. Thanks.
I support the general idea behind the original version of the Volcker Rule. The notion that commercial banks can gamble on risky speculative trading is a bit worrisome and I certainly don't mind that all those investment firms with over 150 million in assets are subject to greater supervision.
Prior to the rule being implemented an NYU prof wrote a paper addressing the liquidity issue that you bring up https://www.sec.gov/comments/s7-41-11/s74111-316.pdf (https://www.sec.gov/comments/s7-41-11/s74111-316.pdf) . How much did he foresee and address these concerns? I'm not certain, I still need read to the paper that you linked to.

trump is the best thing to happen in america in the last 10 years. If you don't see it then you are just brainwashed.
If you can't enjoy the silver linings of both parties melting down and the corporate, establishment candidate losing her ass off, you are doing it wrong.
Totally, Trump is clearly a friend to the working class and has some plans to do anything to help them that he just has had to keep secret and never explain and isn't going to relentlessly bolster the ultra-wealthy, giving them reckless and unnecessary tax breaks, because he and his companies have benefitted from tax loopholes for decades so obviously he has an incentive to harm his own family's companies' interest. Obvs.

Swap out "Hillary" for "Trump" then throw yourself off a fucking cliff.

I didn't really like everything about Clinton, but if you seriously think Trump was the better option, you're ignorant at best.
Do you really think it's a coincidence that the less educated you are, the more likely you are to support Trump?
Also, nobody asked him to "apologize for being white", so he can fuck off with that strawman argument, trying to frame himself as the victim right from the start.
Maybe some aspects of true conservatism are better for the economy, I really can't speak on that, but the way they are actually represented and implemented by the modern Republican party absolutely are not. Pretty much all the biggest problems we're dealing with now (ridiculous levels of income inequality, massive cuts to funding to services for the homeless and mentally-ill, mass-incarceration of minorities), can be traced back to Reagan's policies.
If you actually respected and had empathy for others, you wouldn't have voted for Trump in the first place.
"Hey, I supported the candidate who is actively doing damage to the most vulnerable groups in our country, but we can still be friends, right?"
No, fuck you.

With the Bushes and Reagan, if you liked them you were probably an asshole, but in a mostly political sense. Trump is a whole different thing. Anyone supporting Trump is a fucking asshole inside and out. This moron is a failure as a business person, a celebrity, and unquestionably as a politician. Here's a dude whose every idea is absolute shit, and he can't deliver on any of them! He is so blatantly hypocritical the dude contradicts himself on a daily basis, it's like he doesn't know tweets continue to exist after you tweet them. This shitbag bragged about busting in on women in the changing room and about sexually assaulting them. Then, as if that wasn't enough, he is advocates for racist policy against Mexicans (and this guy undoubtedly thinks that everyone from Tijuana to Uruguay is a Mexican) and Muslims. Then just to make sure not a single person can defend him without being a complete fuckface, he actually defends Nazis. He is an actual Nazi sympathizer, which when you get right down to it means that Trump is actually a Nazi. So fuck you for supporting him. If you had done so in the beginning, because of "jobs" or whatever bullshit, but retracted your support now, you could be forgiven. But to continue to support an absolute abomination of a human being, an actual fucking Nazi, is reprehensible.

With the Bushes and Reagan, if you liked them you were probably an asshole, but in a mostly political sense. Trump is a whole different thing. Anyone supporting Trump is a fucking asshole inside and out. This moron is a failure as a business person, a celebrity, and unquestionably as a politician. Here's a dude whose every idea is absolute shit, and he can't deliver on any of them! He is so blatantly hypocritical the dude contradicts himself on a daily basis, it's like he doesn't know tweets continue to exist after you tweet them. This shitbag bragged about busting in on women in the changing room and about sexually assaulting them. Then, as if that wasn't enough, he is advocates for racist policy against Mexicans (and this guy undoubtedly thinks that everyone from Tijuana to Uruguay is a Mexican) and Muslims. Then just to make sure not a single person can defend him without being a complete fuckface, he actually defends Nazis. He is an actual Nazi sympathizer, which when you get right down to it means that Trump is actually a Nazi. So fuck you for supporting him. If you had done so in the beginning, because of "jobs" or whatever bullshit, but retracted your support now, you could be forgiven. But to continue to support an absolute abomination of a human being, an actual fucking Nazi, is reprehensible.
average libtard logic.
how about everyone stops being fucking regular and start realising that the election doesnt even matter at all. were all getting fucked over by the jews, no matter who is the president.

Do you have a mom? Do you maybe have a girlfriend? If you have either of those things, I find it strange that you would lobby against them having the same rights and privileges as you.
how would trump remove female rights? ignoring abortion.

is this really how you think? excluding the aspects of reality that weaken your already shaky perception?
The only reason you feel pressured to "apologize for being white" is because you have been indoctrinated with a persecution complex, your one of the least oppressed groups on the planet and you still feel threatened?
Why even make such a vague statement as "right wing politics are good for American economy" that doesn't even mean anything, some of the greatest minds of the 20th century have worked to create all kinds of economic systems and policies and none of them have really been that good Do you believe Keynes or Friedman?

One thing I know for sure is that I'll never listen to skateboarders when it comes to politics. Why would you listen to a group of people who have historically been some of the biggest followers ever to exist? Everything they think is "cool" or "kooky" is often times because of the general consensus of herd mentality, and if you ask a skateboarder why they think the way they do about something they'll usually have no reasoning behind it other than "it's sick" or "it sucks." From the tricks they do, to the skateboarder's uniform they wear, to their thoughts and opinions on the industry, the vast majority of it isn't their own. I know we like to sit in a circle jerk and claim we're special because skateboarding is unique, but it's really just a handful of unique people followed by the hundreds of thousands (millions if you count the "lifestyle" latchers) who watch their every move and treat it as gospel.
Don't believe me? Ask someone who started skateboarding recently if they like the Gonz, and then ask them why. They won't be able to name most of the shit he's responsible for in skateboarding, or why they think his artwork is unique or whatever. There's an enormous chance that their answer will be something that they're parroting that someone else told them, and they accepted it as such since they see it as the equivalent of skateboarding' Masonic handshake. Actually, I can think of people who started skating before I did who fall into this category.
Saying "fuck Nike/ big corpo" is like our version of saying "Trump should be impeached."

Why wouldn't you? many skaters are very academically accomplished and could give you a comprehensive and supported opinion? what if a well known political scholar plays cricket? or was a cubist painter?
Or maybe you see people don't agree with you, so like many, you trivialize the opinions of others based on arbitrary criteria

incorrect. I don't have a dog in this fight, so I don't have an opinion that anyone can agree or disagree with.
I don't know what your experiences have shown you, but my experiences have shown me that academic achievements don't have a direct correlation with outside-the-box/ independent free thinking. Oftentimes it's conformity at its finest, and most institutions don't teach (or even encourage for that matter) you to go against the grain.
In reality, most professors reward students who conform to the mold that the professor sees fit. I saw it with my girlfriend's sociology masters program especially, which would technically deem her as some sort of "expert" in many of the topics that have been mentioned in this thread. It was a politically biased program to begin with, and most of the time she had to go against what she actually believed to be true from experience & educated independent opinion to do well in her classes. She attended a prestigious private university, and I had the luxury of sitting in on most of her classes and even helped with her assignments.
I wish I saved some of her emails that she had with her professors going back and forth about certain papers and projects, because they pretty much came out and said that she needed to parrot everything they were pushing in order to get an A.
That's getting off topic though, are you saying that the majority of skateboarders aren't followers?

I would not say a masters program makes someone an expert by any means... Through the course of study from undergrad to phd you will become more knowledgeable on your topic of study than the lay-man will ever be(unless he devotes himself to years of private study), so who better than them to listen to? Skating or not has nothing to do with it
edit: Basically what your saying is that you ignore sources of knowledge based on arbitrary or vague criteria like being conformists or skaters, despite the fact they are the best sources and there are no better options or sources of knowledge, opinion and perspective
Would you rather see a conformist doctor with vast knowledge and expertise or some kind of "naturopath" who thinks about outside the box, but may have no real knowledge or skill?

Hehe, I missed a final group project for a community college sociology course that basically determines if you pass the class or not. I just emailed the teacher and lowkey offered sexual favors for her to pass me. She passed me without even having to lick her puss. That is sociology at its finest I would say.

So you don't think the vast majority of skateboarders aren't trend hopping followers who like things because everyone else likes them too?
I said masters program because that's what I witnessed first hand, I didn't attend her doctorate level classes. She has letters at the end of her name and she has a work history that would deem her an expert, and she said that the requirements she had to submit to were the same when it came to not thinking outside the box. The majority of skateboarders (or people in general for that matter) don't hold a masters degree. Either way, My point was to show that holding a higher education doesn't = having your own thoughts and opinions, not to go tit for tat by comparing dick sizes when it comes to education.

I would say most people are trend hoppers from sports fans to yoga moms, but I don't dismiss an educated opinion because of it, nor do these things incapacitate a well informed intellect
I agree that it does not mean you have your own thoughts and opinions, but you will have a much greater knowledge of the topic which gives you the material to form an educated opinion. Like the famous phrase "standing on the shoulders of giants", a strong academic background in lieu of intensive private study give you the foundations for creativity, as with many things, "you have to know the rules before you can break them". No need to throw the baby out with the bathwater imo, yes some academics might conform to further their own career(or whatever) , but they still are the most knowledgeable and the most equipped to put forth assertions or theories, in certain respects.

how would trump remove female rights? ignoring abortion.
That's certainly one way, but there are more. However, since you chose the topic, play it out this way-- take your least favorite person, then take your mom. Assume that your least favorite person porked your mom against her will, then assume he had some mighty strong swimmers that impregnated her. Now, would you be excited that the woman who birthed you is gonna spawn another child from someone who you ultimately despise and raped your mom? Not to mention the fact that your mother also has to live with the fact that she's about to, at the very least, pop a kid out of her who was a product of rape. And if she's really unlucky, maybe she decides to raise the kid and then has to be reminded of that horrible event everyday. I'm sure even the kindest lady might have some sort of resentment towards that child, so add that one in with the rest of the crappy events that all stem from having a few wealthy dbags who feel that they should be able to make decisions for someone simply because they are a woman.

Everything they think is "cool" or "kooky" is often times because of the general consensus of herd mentality, and if you ask a skateboarder why they think the way they do about something they'll usually have no reasoning behind it other than "it's sick" or "it sucks." From the tricks they do, to the skateboarder's uniform they wear, to their thoughts and opinions on the industry, the vast majority of it isn't their own. I know we like to sit in a circle jerk and claim we're special because skateboarding is unique, but it's really just a handful of unique people followed by the hundreds of thousands (millions if you count the "lifestyle" latchers) who watch their every move and treat it as gospel.
Don't believe me? Ask someone who started skateboarding recently if they like the Gonz, and then ask them why. They won't be able to name most of the shit he's responsible for in skateboarding, or why they think his artwork is unique or whatever. There's an enormous chance that their answer will be something that they're parroting that someone else told them, and they accepted it as such since they see it as the equivalent of skateboarding' Masonic handshake. Actually, I can think of people who started skating before I did who fall into this category.
Saying "fuck Nike/ big corpo" is like our version of saying "Trump should be impeached."
Or maybe you see people don't agree with you, so like many, you trivialize the opinions of others based on arbitrary criteria
incorrect. I don't have a dog in this fight, so I don't have an opinion that anyone can agree or disagree with.
I don't know what your experiences have shown you, but my experiences have shown me that academic achievements don't have a direct correlation with outside-the-box/ independent free thinking. Oftentimes it's conformity at its finest, and most institutions don't teach (or even encourage for that matter) you to go against the grain.
In reality, most professors reward students who conform to the mold that the professor sees fit. I saw it with my girlfriend's sociology masters program especially, which would technically deem her as some sort of "expert" in many of the topics that have been mentioned in this thread. It was a politically biased program to begin with, and most of the time she had to go against what she actually believed to be true from experience & educated independent opinion to do well in her classes. She attended a prestigious private university, and I had the luxury of sitting in on most of her classes and even helped with her assignments.
I wish I saved some of her emails that she had with her professors going back and forth about certain papers and projects, because they pretty much came out and said that she needed to parrot everything they were pushing in order to get an A.
That's getting off topic though, are you saying that the majority of skateboarders aren't followers?
You're clingy bruh...

Yeah dude, you're clearly a genius. A genius who is just scared out of his little knickers about tewwowists. You got a way better chance of dying by getting hit by a car, maybe we ought to ban those too? The best news is we can do that without sentencing tens of thousands of innocent men, women, and children to die in their war torn countries (armed by the good ole USA of course) just because we're scared.

Terrorism is a hazard to human life and material prosperity that should be addressed in a sensible manner whereby the benefits of actions to contain it outweigh the costs. Foreign-born terrorists who entered the country, either as immigrants or tourists, were responsible for 88 percent (or 3,024) of the 3,432 murders caused by terrorists on U.S. soil from 1975 through the end of 2015. This paper presents the first terrorism risk analysis of the visa categories those foreign-born terrorists used to enter the United States.
Including those murdered in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 (9/11), the chance of an American perishing in a terrorist attack on U.S. soil that was committed by a foreigner over the 41-year period studied here is 1 in 3.6 million per year. The hazard posed by foreigners who entered on different visa categories varies considerably. For instance, the chance of an American being murdered in a terrorist attack caused by a refugee is 1 in 3.64 billion per year while the chance of being murdered in an attack committed by an illegal immigrant is an astronomical 1 in 10.9 billion per year. By contrast, the chance of being murdered by a tourist on a B visa, the most common tourist visa, is 1 in 3.9 million per year. Any government response to terrorism must take account of the wide range of hazards posed by foreign-born terrorists who entered under various visa categories.
Here's the link to the full paper:
https://www.cato.org/publications/policy-analysis/terrorism-immigration-risk-analysis (https://www.cato.org/publications/policy-analysis/terrorism-immigration-risk-analysis)
The risk of a terrorist attack is actually pretty low, but people buy into the fear mongering. Politicians use fear mongering to get elected and justify war. Shitty people come from different: nationalities, ethnicity and backgrounds. It's more likely that you'll die from a car accident than a terrorist attack.

Right on friend.
I am not saying that you are right, but I am saying that the map you posted isn't too incorrect. HOWEVER, a majority of these terror attacks aren't caused by islamic immigrants, it's caused by civil war type activity like the IRA in England, the ETA in Spain and the NLFoC in France/Corsica.
Here is a list of IRA terror attacks:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_Real_Irish_Republican_Army_actions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_Real_Irish_Republican_Army_actions)
ETA attacks:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ETA_attacks (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ETA_attacks)
Other hotspots on that map include the Balkans, which was a fucking religious mess- but they weren't immigrants or refugees. And Kurds fighting Turkey is a whole different discussion.
Basically, that map shows you very little information regarding terrorist attacks conducted by islamic terrorists posing as migrants- but it does give you an idea about hotspots where acts of terror have been conducted- majority which is not committed by followers of Islam.
So while the map isn't absolute shit, it doesn't work to support your claim.

Please tell me when the last terrorist attack happened in America after 9/11 and please tell me where that terrorist came from. Please provide the news link, facts, and your most educated response. I'll be waiting.
how about the boston marathon bombing? conducted by the tsarnaev brothers, who hail/hailed from kyrgyzstan, and prior to that, chechnya.
That's true. Thank you for answering for him.
Has there been anything else since? All I've been noticing were recent attacks from Americans born citizens.
san bernadino shooting. he (rizwan farook) was american, but she (tashfeen malik) was born pakistan and lived in saudi arabia.

Quick math tells you that a the Islamic motivated attacks usually kill more than other motives- but non-Islamic attacks seem to be of a higher occurrence.

If anything you are textbook xenophobe, by definition really "intense or irrational dislike or fear of people from other countries.", as you have an irrational fear of Muslim terrorists when homegrown Americans commit the vast majority of violent crimes, mass shootings etc.

and there's the virginia tech shooting, by the mad marksman seung hui cho of south korea. might not fit some's definition of terrorism, but i'd wager those in attendance of the school that day (and their family and friends not in attendance) were certainly terrorized.

There was the Ohio State incident, but that's beside the big picture.
You're going to hate an entire group of people because of what some demented people did? Should I hate all Republicans because of what's Dylan Roof did?

Skateordie you are listing people who yes were born in a different country but moved to the US when they were kids and got citizenship the legal way. I highly doubt their motive when they were 10 years old (or younger) was to move to America and perform an attack many years later.
The right thinks of terrorists as people who come in America illegally just to perform an attack on American soil. The ones you listed above were American citizens

please point to where i stated "hating" anyone. all i did was state facts in order to answer some other poster's question.
dylan roof was a professed neo-nazi. hitler, the leader of the nazis, was a socialist who was anti gun and pro abortion. therefore, it sounds like you should hate all democrats.

The right doesn't care about any of your hypotheticals when it comes to abortions, they just want to have power over someone who is weaker because they been pussies their whole lives and want to feel strong. If they cared about any type of life they wouldn't have a heart attack everytime America lets in refugees
This map is fake, depicts Greece as though there have been some terrorist attacks and I can confirm there have been none. Not refugee related, anyway. I can assume this is valid for other countries too.
Pfft Menes are irrefutable. You'll have to substantiate your claims
map is totally fake, yes there is attacks all over europe but this map is fake
I'd say the majority of the dots on the map in the UK are to do with the IRA.
Also the UK has a large and ever growing migrant population of people from Poland so it cant be all good over there.

Look dontfearthereefer,
When trying to make up your mind with respect to whatever topic it always helps to find sources that may give a less-lopsided view than Fox news. I had (and still have) no clue about the problems caused by illegal immigration in the US but a very quick google search brought me to this piece of information: https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/01/26/us/trump-illegal-immigrants-crime.html (https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/01/26/us/trump-illegal-immigrants-crime.html)
I am not saying that it is all true and that left-wing newspaper publish unbiased texts but it is always a good sign if the data the article refers to is actually linked and comes from actual scientific studies. Just give the excerpts below a try and tell me that you are still convinced that illegal immigrants are committing more crimes than 'original' Americans. Btw: do you know from which part in Europe your ancestors came from?
Parts from the article :
With about 43 million foreign-born people living in the country, and about 11 million of them here illegally, immigrants are a large slice of the population, and are no doubt to blame for a large share of the crime. The Department of Homeland Security has estimated that 1.9 million noncitizens living in the United States ? whether legally or illegally ? have been convicted of criminal offenses and could be deported. The Migration Policy Institute, a research group that does not advocate immigration policies, estimated that 820,000 of those people were in the country illegally, including 300,000 with felony convictions.
But several studies, over many years, have concluded that immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than people born in the United States. And experts say the available evidence does not support the idea that undocumented immigrants commit a disproportionate share of crime.

Worst stats ever. 85% of whites are murdered by whites. Nearly half of all murders are by a relative or close acquaintance. Murders happen in your communities for the most part. Which means you're more likely to be murdered by someone of your own race... and that abortion stat, LOL.

I completely agree with everything you said...Vert Reynolds pulled those stats out of his ass.
The only legitimate abortion statistics are from CDC, and they are done by state. The Kaiser Family Foundation reports 50/40/10 for white/black/other, for reported legal abortions, and there are a couple factors which contribute to incomplete data. No anti-abortion group is going to take the time to go through the CDC site to legitimately compile data, because they're probably too busy shitposting on Facebook pages.
back to the shitposting, though...

The majority of the time crime stats don't give an accurate representation of how much crime is actually going on. Like the UCR, which is where the 85 and 90% figure comes from, those are only solved cases by departments that actually send those reports to the FBI. It gets even less accurate for all other Part 1 crimes. DONT COME AT ME WITH CRIME STATS THIS IS MY WHEELHOUSE.

You mean the abortion stat? Yea, it's not even worth mentioning. How many abortions are conducted every day in the U.S.? Give me actual data, not from a religious anti-abortion website. I'll wait.
To your other points...
A) Fuck you and those racist statues.
B) Those statues aren't 200 years old, they were built in the middle of the last century to remind African Americans seeking equality where they stood in the eyes of the South.

I think people might actually still suffering from having trouble accepting that the confederacy lost the civil war, even Bedford Forrest left the KKK because it was too violent, and he was mister Confederacy. The Confederacy really lost, and all attempts to revive it have failed.

i'm from the northeast and always kinda laughed at southerners and their clinging to civil war but you know what?
the vietnam war was a sham yet we have monuments to the poor bastards who were drafted into it.
every war ever has been fought by the poor [usually conscripted] at the behest of the rich and whether we agree w/ it or not we begrudgingly support the troops. i mean, i don't. if you sign up to play stupid games and win stupid prizes don't ask me for change cause your leg fell off.
but yeah, if it's a statue to the 'boys in grey' that's not exactly a glowing endorsement of racism. i actually can see how someone might not want to let go of the relic to their ancestor's suffering and sacrifice even if it were to continue slavery for other people in his geographic region. make no mistake, anyone who could afford slaves was not fighting in this war.
neither were all northerners anti-slavery heros. we got drafted to fight for the 'good guys' as history tells it while the poor people of the south got drafted by the bad guys.
i can see black folks being offended by it also but there's a bit more nuance than 'if you don't hate statues you're a racist and a bad man'.

A lot of the officers(West Point grads. etc...) on the Confederate side had slaves, and were indeed fighting to keep their slaves indefinitely(albeit part of a more complex picture), which I think is the problem people are having, in part they personally fought to keep their own slaves

Yes, yes it is. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/posteverything/wp/2017/08/16/the-whole-point-of-confederate-monuments-is-to-celebrate-white-supremacy/ (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/posteverything/wp/2017/08/16/the-whole-point-of-confederate-monuments-is-to-celebrate-white-supremacy/)
The statues were erected in a broad movement by the United Daughters of the Confederacy to vindicate the South and lionize their fight. Their explicit purpose is to trumpet a false narrative. During a particularly brutal outbreak of anti-black violence in the early 1900s...
...the pace of Confederate monument construction quickened. The UDC and other like-minded heritage organizations were intent on honoring the Confederate generation and establishing a revisionist history of what they called the War Between the States. According to this Lost Cause mythology, the South went to war to defend states' rights, slavery was essentially a benevolent institution that imparted Christianity to African 'savages,' and, while the Confederates were defeated, theirs was a just cause and those who fought were heroes. The Daughters regarded the Ku Klux Klan, which had been founded to resist Reconstruction, as a heroic organization, necessary to return order to the South. Order, of course, meant the use of violence to subdue newly freed blacks.
During the era of Jim Crow, Confederate monuments could be placed most anywhere. Some were in cemeteries or parks, but far more were erected on the grounds of local and state courthouses. These monuments, then, not only represented reverence for soldiers who fought in a war to defend slavery. They also made a very pointed statement about the rule of white supremacy: All who enter the courthouse are subject to the laws of white men.
...
Today's defenders of Confederate monuments are either unaware of the historical context or do not care. Like generations of whites before them, they are more invested in the mythology that has attached itself to these sentinels of white supremacy, because it serves their cause.
I'm not pointing this out because I think you support the statues, but the context on how and why they were erected clearly shows it was all about enforcing the white-dominated status quo.
-
I used to live in NY and I hated the confederate flag, because sore loosers and racists and shit. But having lived in the south for a minute, I still don't like most rednecks but I understand them now. Its just a "where your from" thing, like represent represent, that's all. All the extra shit falls in after that fact, you gotta realize the cival war was a big deal territory wise.
Statues are to hard to call, destroying and rebuilding is necessary for evolution, but I don't know if the rebuilding part is happening or its just destroying. In the mean time I enjoy them as art first and history second.
-
huh, point taken super perverted. assumed it was poor scotch english vs poor irish and english in a battle for land neither army owned.
-
The whole historical argument for the statues is a ruse, for many, when there are protesters chanting, "Jews will not replace us!"
-
huh, point taken super perverted. assumed it was poor scotch english vs poor irish and english in a battle for land neither army owned.
Well you're right, the rank and file were very that much that, but the whole command structure was full off slave owners and the statues are mostly of the famous officers as I understand

There's an episode called Sweet D dates a regular person", I'm the regular person. The guys name is Kevin Gallagher (my real name) and went to grade school with Dennis at the same school I went to for grade school. Dennis also says he's regular because this Kevin Gallagher had to take classes in a special trailer at the school (basically away from everyone else), my mother told me like a year ago I did that as well because I had the worst ADHD growing up. Also, he's a rapper and I'm pretty sure that's when 8 mile came out and I was trying to be a rapper at that time. Apparently, Mac's real life younger brother was in my classes during this time

Unfortunately, I stopped my dream of becoming the illest rapper from the nicest suburbs ever because my parents found my notebook with my raps and gave me a talking to. They were really disappointed that their sweet and innocent kid used these awful words and told me the girl I had a crush on during my time at the school would never go for a kid that used these type of words. Had it hang it up for her
So yeah dask8dood could easily wreck me

Reefer:
It's amazing that someone as evidently stupid as you have proven yourself to be can simultaneously type and jerk off. Now, if only you could use your amazing skills and actually read a freaking book. Fuck your war heroes, if you're referring to civil war statues. As for skateboarding any monument, get the fuck over yourself and whatever idea you think you're trying to defend by a monument: will a monument bring someone back to life? No. Does the dead person have any idea that any person is skating on it? No. Is it ridiculous to attach sentiment to a fucking statue? Absolutely. I loved MLK but if his statue sits on top of a perfect granite ledge, that ledge is getting skated.

It's 100 percent true but my dad still works at that school (that's why I went to a fancy catholic school for a year) says macs real life younger brother was probably in my grade. I think someone told him that when he told this story so thats why I said apparently he was because we aren't 100 percent on that.
