Most of the very wealthy people I've met work very hard indeed, yet they are not considered to be "working folk". Why be antagonistic toward powerful people in the core jargon of t…

No, you should be tolerant of people. You should also endeavor to note the distinction between saying something and doing something, because it's not even subtle and insisting it d…

Do you know because you know Thiel or do you know because you're a Jedi and you searched your feelings?

It's a huge complaint when it confronts people who didn't learn how the system works in civics class, I guess, but it's been the way that presidential voting has worked since befor…

OP et al assert a particular motivation of a general population, which is hardly not generalizing.

Not that I'm expecting a response, but I'm curious; were you going to assert that it is impossible to be bigoted about a white male?

Hmm. This isn't twitter, and I quoted my entire post. What, exactly, are you on about? Edit: ah wait I see, you think I'm trying to karma bump my sentiment, but to what end? It's p…

Ahh, now if I were a man who liked reading into things people say, I'd go with inferring that you believe I am a trump supporter. You are incorrect if that is the case. Now, on to …

My point is that you inferred a question that was not asked implicitly or otherwise, not that I needed a definition of implicit. I did not talk past you. I simply deny your arrogan…

Okay, let's stipulate that the notion of "white privilege" is real. The shattered people who voted for Trump, who spend their lives being called "white trash" by "coastal elites," …

That's pretty much how I've lived the past year. Even close friends would descend into personal attacks they knew were completely incorrect in their zeal to deny that trump was a f…

I didn't use the word "prejudice" at all, in fact, so technically this is correct. You're still wrong about the word "bigotry" though.

Your lack of imagination is not a compelling explanation of the political motivations of millions of people you want to pretend don't count

Oh? What definition are you using? The one I just checked in the dictionary agrees with me.

Let's take that long hard look. What aspects of a woman I never met should be more important to me than things that are in my life, and for bonus virtue signaling, why?

My post did not ask the question. I don't care one whit about your feelings for my mother, because you don't know her at all. You don't even know if she's alive or if I even know h…

Yeah if we just spin things the right way that'll fix...something.

Literally everything in my life is more important to me than any aspect of your mother

Lotteries are picked randomly. Elections are chosen deliberately. It was not a toss of the dice that gave the win to trump, so any poll that did not predict him as the winner is by…

It's understandable that people would like everything to be connotation managed so their sensibilities are never offended, but it's also a very valuable skill to be able to turn of…

As there is no Trump cabinet as yet, this would only be something one should do if one were prejudging, i.e. engaging in bigotry. How poetic!

The revolution came about first, but the United States government was enacted by a vote of the second continental congress, formed of delegates from the thirteen colonies. What I'm…

Literally every presidential victory is delivered by the electoral college, as has been required by the US Constitution since long before Donald Trump was a dirty thought. What is …

I expect this all ends in revolution of some sort. Our technological advances have far outpaced our government structures, so it's feeling like time to redo things.

I just scrolled around randomly and one of the moments is a group of young black men kicking an old white man [0]. I'm not sure what the message is here but it seems likely that th…
