Aaaaand Perry to Energy. Great.
You didn’t really think he was going to stack his entire cabinet with people smarter than him, did you?
Global warming can't be solved with government funded windmills and carbon tax.
And it doesn't need to be tackled until like 2400, by which time we should have a bazillion alternatives to fossil fuels.
>>411779
Human-created global climate change can’t be reversed; it can only be slowed to a pace where it won’t make the world unlivable for anything other than plant life by 2100. Pushes both toward renewable energy and away from fossil fuels can help make that a reality. And yes, that means “government-funded windmills and carbon tax” can definitely help — anything that reduces our dependency on fossil fuels is a good thing, even if major corporations want to whine about paying taxes they can afford to pay.
Granted, none of this will matter when the supervolcano explodes and becomes an extinction-level event, but hey, do what we can while we can, y’know?
>>411780
>Human-created global climate change
That doesn't exist, the present warming started before we began using fossil fuels. We can't start processes that take millions of years to change, we can barely affect them.
Since the last 10 million years the temperature has dropped by some 4 degrees fairly steadily. The trend was stable for the past 1 million years or so, and the little ice age seems to be the straw that broke the camels back.
The argument right now is whether and/or how much are humans accelerating the natural boundback after the little ice age.
>make the world unlivable for anything other than plant life by 2100
Where are you getting this? Why would plants survive but not animals?
>>411779
>by which time we should have a bazillion alternatives to fossil fuels.
only if we bother finding them.
>>411782
You should look at evidence-based sources, rather than just believing anyone who tells you what you hear.
>>411784
>Why wouldn't it be, as opposed to other climate change?
I believe I’ve heard climate scientists say that given the rates we’ve been polluting, a complete stop of all such pollution right now would only slow things down. We would need an actual miracle — or technology sufficiently advanced enough that we could call it a miracle — to cool the planet down at this point.
>>411789
This is what my biology professor says as well, that at this point it's a matter of when, not if.
>>411791
Too bad Trump and his goons appear ready to push us there sooner rather than later.
>>411785
We already have them, like fusion or thorium, hydro or tidals... and electric vehicles existed since before fossil fuels.
Alternatives to fossil fuels always existed, the problem is that fossil fuel is cheaper and more convenient. Meaning the country which chooses to go with an alternative would basically collapse overnight as their neighbors outcompeted them.
The only viable way to stop the use of fossil fuels is to:
A) Use them up (will happen by 2300)
B) Think of something cheaper and more convenient (not going to happen)
C) Nuke any country which uses them (the Green solution)
>>411787
Yeah no shit, my source is IPCC. I'd like to see Stone's source that humans CREATED climate change.
>>411789
>>411790
>>411791
>>411792
>would only slow things down
That's what we want to do though, we don't want to stop it, just slow it down. I don't think we even can put a pause button on something as huge as the climate of a planet. We need to be a fucking K2 civilization to do that.
>>411794
It's not that we can stop it, it's that we can't slow it down fast enough — or reverse the damage we've already done — to avoid changing the climate into something downright hostile towards the long-term survival of humanity (and plenty of other animal species).

>Alternatives to fossil fuels always existed, the problem is that fossil fuel is cheaper and more convenient. Meaning the country which chooses to go with an alternative would basically collapse overnight as their neighbors outcompeted them.
First of all, that's patently false--many nations get a lot of their energy from alternatives and not only haven't collapsed, but are economically very strong--for example Germany.
Second of all, technology gets cheaper when it's developed. The reason any of these are "more expensive" is because we don't 1.) grant them anywhere near the amount of subsidies we give to dirty energy and 2.) don't give them the research grants we give for advances in dirty energy.
And the main reason for that is because once they're fully developed, they're so inexpensive that they're harder to monetize. Solar power, for example, threatens the earnings potential of dirty energy producers because solar energy suffers from zero scarcity, and therefore competition naturally drives the prices down. Which means the dirty business practices that keep oil and coal barons rich aren't as lucrative.
It's the same reason the electric car wasn't able to really happen until Tesla even though the technology has been around for years, and the reason the research showing that lead in gasoline was killing everyone was hushed up by the gasoline companies--fucking over the consumer takes less energy and makes more money than doing right by them, and it's easy to convince useful idiots to take your side for the sake of political expediency. There will always be people who will happily campaign in favor of billionaires fucking them in the ass as long as they get to look down on liberals when they do it.
c.f. the 2016 election.

>>411802
>Russia is getting fucked over by Putin & Co.
We don’t need Breitbart to tell us that, anon.
>>411798
Oh yes, Germany.
Germany gets only 16% of their electricity from solar and wind, despite massive subsidies. Their electricity. The portion of economy that actually relies on hydrocarbons, such as oil in transportation, is completely untouched. Germany is ninth in world by oil consumption at 2.3 million barrels per day.
This is the country that replaced nuclear power with coal power, which is more radioactive and releases more carbon. Which is why they're sixth in the world by carbon production.
This is the country that brought back WOOD FIRED electric power plants, called it "biomass", and claimed it was green despite clearcutting entire forests in the third world for it.
The way they avoid collapsing is by using EU to suppress businesses of other European countries and promote German businesses... the country that literally invented neoimperialism.
This is your hero?
>we don't 1.) grant them anywhere near the amount of subsidies
Of course we don't grant renewables near the same amount of subsidies. We grant renewables many times more subsidies!
In the latest US budget renewables get $12.1 billion, hydrocarbons get $3.2 billion, nuclear gets $1.1 billion. Meanwhile hydrocarbons make up 3275 TWh, nuclear makes up 498 TWh, and renewables are 373TWh. Meaning:
1. Renewables generate 30kWh per dollar subsidy
2. Nuclear generates 420kWh per dollar subsidy
3. Hydrocarbons generate 1MWh per dollar subsidy.
These are different orders of magnitude...
>they're so inexpensive that they're harder to monetize. Solar power
A solar panel takes six years to pay for itself, and that's with Federal and SC solar tax credits.
The fuck are you talking about, the only people who have solar panels are people who expect outages and wanting a backup, survivalists, and people who want to brag about being green.
North Carolina has really reached deep into its past and enjoyed itself a good old-fashioned coup.

With all the scare about Russian Hackers again, maybe I should consider majoring in cybersecurity instead of regular compsci.

In 2014, clean energy made up 48% or so of Germany's electricity, including biomass, hydro, wind, solar, and nuclear. Coal and gas make up the rest.
>>411805
>people who want to brag about being green
I hate these fucks, they contribute nothing and are annoying as all hell.
>>411809
>claiming that burning wood is "clean"
Good job son, are you going to argue next that coal and oil is biomass since its made of dead animals, and that oil and coal are "clean energy"?
>including nuclear in a list of renewables
>hydro being in any green list
smh
Besides his point is that that oil, coal, and such use isn't decreasing.
>>411811
>>including nuclear in a list of renewables
The list was of "clean" energy, not renewables. Wood burning is renewable.
Apart from thermal pollution and mining/deposit of fuel, nuclear power plants cause no pollution to the environment.
>>411812
>Wood burning is renewable.
No, it's not.
Also it's not clean either, which you're ignoring for some reason? Despite bitching at me for using renewable instead of "clean", you do the same fucking thin in the next sentence.
>>411816
Regardless, a tree takes time to grow, and soil can only take so many trees growing on it before it becomes fallow.
Burning wood is neither renewable nor clean.
Russian hackers faked Obamas birth certificate.
//youtube.com/watch?v=jk3KRxTfkLM
>>411822
Do you? Wood comes from trees, trees can be grown in human lifespans. That's renewable.
inb4 you lay some tortured (and incorrect) alt-right-exclusive definition of "renewable" on us.
>>411824
You are seriously suggesting that planting trees turns the land they're planted on into a desert. Wow. You did not disappoint in terms of sharing completely batshit crazy alt-right nonsense in response to the statement "trees can be planted and grown."
I do actually have a garden, and I have planted trees in it. Somehow my yard is not yet a desert.
>>411827
>You are seriously suggesting that planting trees turns the land they're planted on into a desert.
Under the correct conditions, the soil in which trees, crops, or any sort of plant life grow can lose nutrients faster than it can restore those nutrients, which gives you weak or dead soil. Dead soil can't grow anything until something restores those nutrients.
Are we suggesting that knowledge of soil fertility is a Nazi conspiracy now
Sheesh
>>411829
I think this puppy is some underageb& living in a gated community. After figuring that out, what he says doesn't surprise me anymore.
>>411828
Yes of course it can fucking lose nutrients, if one has a completely irresponsible system of planting and harvesting. This is not an inherent concern.
For those who actually care to know more:
>As a source of domestic heat from waste products, wood pellets thus made home wood-fired stoves both convenient and sustainable. But other EU countries, such as the UK and the Netherlands, began co-firing wood pellets in coal plants. Demand rose, and countries from Canada to the US, Brazil, and Russia began making pellets from fresh timber at lower prices. Now, the EU imports biomass from forests around the planet. The carbon savings are attributed to the coal plants, while the emissions from shipping are not attributed to the country consuming the pellets (carbon leakage). Critics argue that it would be better to simply burn the oil used to ship the pellets instead.
>>411775
Climate change is not up for debate.
The cause of climate change is up for debate. Whether we affect it is up for debate. The measures we should take, if any, is up for debate. The long term effects of climate change are up for debate.
The so called 'deniers' in this thread are merely pushing back against the hysteria of the people who push their overblown scare-tactics in everyone's faces.
Gore predicted the world would end in January 2016, and most his apocalyptic video is still played in schools to brainwash kids.
I'll be surprised if the Republican-controlled congress get the stones to challenge any of these awful nominees, but it's somewhat hilarious to see just how incredibly corrupt these nominees are:

>>411836
You know this response is interesting. Not only does it not really have an basis in reality, but it also pointedly doesn't challenge the notion that Tillerson et al are terrible choices.
>>411828
"Under the correct conditions" being operative phrase here. Pahrump trees does not make deserts under normal circumstances.
Especially seeing as a desert is defined by rainfall, not soil fertility. Rain forests have some of the worst soil fertility in the world, but they're not deserts.
>>411838
Because both you and I know that I think Obamas choices are shit, and you think Trumps choices are shit.
It's pointless to argue about that, which means your highhanded demand that the Republican party oppose Trump on this is so fucking stupid, when we both know the Democrat party allowed a bunch of radicals and tax evaders to be selected by Obama.
I know you know this deep inside, even if you won't admit it to yourself.
>>411839
>a desert is defined by rainfall, not soil fertility
https://lmgtfy.com/?q=desertification
Rainfall is determined by (among other things) presence of plants. Presence of plants is determined by soil fertility. So yes, deserts are determined by soil fertility.
>Rain forests have some of the worst soil fertility in the world, but they're not deserts.
Do you know why? Because the trees in rainforests have deep roots, which reach soil which is deep.
If a rainforest tree is cut, you can't simply grow a replacement. The new tree doesn't have roots deep enough to reach the nutrients.
This is why using forests as fuel doesn't work, it's not renewable, forests aren't farmland.
>>411841
>Because both you and I know that I think Obamas choices are shit
Well yeah, but you're an idiot, so what do I care what you think?
>It's pointless to argue about that
God but do you do it so often anyway.
>we both know the Democrat party allowed a bunch of radicals and tax evaders to be selected by Obama.
An interesting and multifaceted assertion for which you have, I suspect, no credible backing for any part of.
And you still do not engage the fact that Trump has generally pointed to the least qualified person possible for each position.
>>411842
Rainforests aren't regular forests. You can, in fact, plant trees in deciduous and temperate forests where you cut them down, because leaf litter and other detritus in those forests returns nutrients to the soil.
This argument is utterly retarded, and I don't believe for a moment you're making it in good faith.
>>411844
And Germany gets their wood from rainforests that are stripped forever, and clear cut deciduous forests which don't have saplings planted again. Even when done properly the "renewal" time is hundreds of years. By that logic gas is a renewable resource.
Oh right, I should probably put this video on how moving away from fossil fuels can actually save money even if we ignore environmental issues here instead of just using it in a dumb crossfade meme video: //youtube.com/watch?v=ZHOyfyGwpes
As for trees: Sure, it's renewable as long as you only use as much of it as can be renewed: Renewable as a word specifically doesn't mean unlimited, only "You're able to renew this if you don't mishandle it." On a per land area basis, though, I'm pretty sure algaculture uses less land area per amount of fuel produced than growing wood.

This is true for methane gas as well then.
It could be argued to be true for oil and coal on the same principle.

Dear god the Schadenfap I'll have if Trump spends trillions on a war with Iran and keeps the TPP under a new name.
After the thousands of hairy dudes on the net telling me Killary wants WWIII with Russia and is an evil globalist, I actually want Trump to hurt their interests as much as he possibly can. Sure, minorities will get killed even more often by police and have their voting taken away, and women and gays will be subjugated more and more socially and legally, but at least I can hope the White men that betrayed their fellow Americans get treated like Vincent Cassels girlfriend in Irreversible.
Meh, it's really embarrassing for Turkey and some comeuppance for Russia, but it won't spark anything more.

Fucking idiot.
Not all things in live are morally equivalent, like your sick fuck professor brainwashed you into thinking.
Some philosophies are objectively more moral than others. Buddhism is objectively more moral than Christianity (new testament), which is objectively more moral than Judaism (old testament), which is objectively more moral than............... etc................... Kali worship, which is objectively more moral than Islam. [end of list]
Relativism is brain cancer.
>>411882
>objectively more moral
This is an inherently nonsensical phrase, especially involving comparative religions. Buddhism, for example, has very little concern for morality at all, while Christianity and Islam both view all morality as coming from their god. By definition, from a Christian point of view all religions are less moral than their own, and likewise Islam, because they take for granted that virtue comes from god.
Buddhism on the other hand is about finding enlightenment, not about being a good person. It does just so happen that the path to enlightenment does generally mean causing no harm to others, which many modern secular people would consider to be a moral stance, but the reason not to cause harm to others in Buddhism is based on the damage it does to one's own psyche rather than on the "good" or "evil" involved in the act--Buddhism barely even acknowledges the existence of good and evil, much less takes a side.
Interesting that you say "in the New Testament," though. It implies that you are fully aware that the stuff telling you to kill infidels is in the Bible and you've just chosen to ignore that part....meanwhile still expecting people to respect the ten commandments or the parts in the old testament that talk about homosexuality which the New Testament never addresses. Because, once again, you cherry pick which parts of the bible you want to treat as actually relevant to life, because when white people practice a middle eastern religion that preaches the death of nonbelievers, it's fine, and when brown people do it, it's a culture of violence.
And then you accuse other people of relativism.
>>411882
>Post a passage from the new testament that talks about killing infidels.
Luke 19:27
But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

>>411881
If we're going by the new testament, then women should always have their heads covered and should always submit to their husbands. 1st Corinthians, yo. Thanks Paul.
The only reason western Christians aren't as misogynist, homophobic and violent as the people in Saudi or Pakistan is because they aren't poor enough yet. When Trump and congress and the coming recession is done with them they'll have to become even more puritanical to feel something in their rotten lives.

>>411887
>western Christians aren't as misogynist, homophobic and violent as the people in Saudi or Pakistan
[citation needed]
I think the only reason you don't see as severe violence isn't because the people are any less violence, it's because secular society has had them convinced they would be shunned for doing it up till now. Of course now that the white supremacists believe they are in control, you're going to see them getting bolder.
>>411886
Thought women were only supposed to have their heads covered in prayer?
But yeah, Paul sure did say a whole lot of stuff that literally only Paul ever said in the NT. My personal favorite author in the NT is James, that guy was hard-hitting and kind of called Paul out, imo.
>>411892
>Paul sure did say a whole lot of stuff that literally only Paul ever said in the NT
Paul's writings are as canonical as anything else in the Bible.

>>411900
Yes. I am also aware that people are people wherever you go, and only complete idiots think that location or race or what the name of your religion is has much effect on how the human psyche works. 99% of people are exactly as the same as everyone else on earth. The people who aren't, aren't special snowflakes--they're mentally ill.
>>411901
>99% of people are exactly as the same as everyone else on earth.
Stop grossly exaggerating everything like that. It makes you look like the 1%.
Just because there are a variety of similarities between different groups of people does not mean, suggest nor imply that environment and culture has no effect on mental development. Just because most groups of peole have their own extremists does not make those extremists equal.

The old testament is the Jewish holy book, the Torah. You to shit on Jews AND all the non-European Christians.
You also shit on European Muslims such as Bosnians or Chechens.... but lets face it, you care less for them because race is your primary way of judging people and you're brainwashed to think white people are teh evulz. Only people free of the taint of European blood are virtuous, regardless of what they believe!
FYI the new testament is the one relevant to Christianity, because it overrides the old in all things. On that note, I've yet to see proof of Christianity preaching the death of unbelievers.
>>411905
>The old testament is the Jewish holy book, the Torah.
And the first half of the Christian holy book, the Bible.
Jesus C said every jot and tittle of the Old was legit and important though.
>>411907
>>411909
The problem you seem not to understand is that in the Jewish traditions, they rejected all of the teachings of god and kept all of the random traditional teachings that don't matter.
The entire point of Jesus even existing is to fix what had become a serious problem with the old testament.
The teachings of Jesus make it clear that Christians are not to follow Old Testament rules about crimes and punishments, warfare, slavery, diet, circumcision, animal sacrifices, feast days, Sabbath observance, ritual cleanness, etc. The only parts of the old testament that matter are some of the related stories, genealogies and so forth.
Now I ask you my very simple question again:
>Post a passage from the new testament that talks about killing infidels.
>Post one ordering the stoning of a woman, or condoning slavery, or jesus raping an 8 year old girl.
And I'll make it easier for you as well, if you post citations proving Jesus was a warlord who genocided entire peoples, (just that single point!) I'll concede that Christianity is as bad as Islam.
Just that single point.
Daily reminder that I can support equivalent statements by Islam on all of these points, not just one.

In that case, the Ten Commandments are not Christian values, and homosexuality is not a sin.
...in YOUR heretical version of Christianity, I mean. In the Christianity practiced by millions of Americans, your arbitrary edicts about canonicity are not relevant.
>>411913
Jesus independently reinforces most of the commandments, and Paul hates the gays too (see what i said earlier about Paul).
You don't seem to know much about Christianity, since this isn't really "arbitrary," it's like, how the religion works.
>>411914
>You don't seem to know much about Christianity, since this isn't really "arbitrary," it's like, how the religion works.
Yeah, people pick and choose which parts of the bible they want to follow. Like every other religion. Including Islam. We just give Christians a pass for having a book full of atrocities but "not following that part" because the Christians we're looking to protect are white people.
>>411914
Also, for the record, I was brought up Baptist in the Bible Belt. I guarantee I know more about how Christianity actually functions in the real world than you do, you condescending prick.
>>411915
It's literally part of the religion that the old stuff doesn't really matter aside from documentation. Again, you don't seem to know what you're talking about.
It's actually part of Islam too, there's a bit that says if something new seems to contradict something old, the new is the relevant. Same with Christianity. The old stuff was laws to keep people spiritually clean, to oversimplify. When Jesus came around, it was to be such a precious sacrifice that nothing could soil anyone ever again. That was the entire point. It's literally the purpose of the religion, not cherrypicking.

Trump voters have learned that if they say something, even if it's untrue, they can get people to treat it as true. At least for long enough to win elections. There's no point in actually arguing nuance and empirical stuff with them. Conversations with Trump supporters are all about magic. Frequent and loud invocation is more important than logic or fact. That is the world we live in now thanks to them.

Slowpoke you literally advocated not following what Paul said in the New Testament. Furthermore, any differing opinions between Paul and James is with faith vs. works argument didn't revolve around the main point of that particular passage, that in Christianity as written women are inherently subservient to men, Men having been made in the image of God and women being made in the image of men, and thus bound to serve and please their husbands and cover their head while praying to the Lord. That's in the New Testament, stated by an apostle, and the word of God in Christianity (2nd Timothy).
>>411931
>Slowpoke you literally advocated not following what Paul said in the New Testament
Nah. I don't think he's very reliable, but i mean, I wasn't there, I'm not gonna pretend that I KNOW he was wrong and shouldn't be listened to, and I'm certainly not going to pretend I know Yeshua of Nazareth's will enough to outrank NT authors.

More like the difference between Christian terrorists and Muslim terrorists is that Christian terrorist numbers have to be padded by people playing with firecrackers because MSM can't handle the real stats.
Non-Islamic terror attacks since 9/11 in America: 24 with 53 dead
Islamic terror attacks since 9/11 in America: 25 with 120 dead
Muslims are 1% of the population
>>411940

>>411941
Are you aware some 3000 people died in 9/11 though? Those 15 years are during a massive crackdown on Islamic terror. He's taking it easy on you.
And you're ignoring the 1% stat.... 99% of the rest of the country which isn't muslim is more peaceful than the 1% that is muslim.

So in other news, Trump thinks the Hawley-Smoot Tariff (which some economists believe all but caused the Great Depression) was a good idea and is thinking of bringing it back, with a flat 10% tax on all imported goods. Which will of course mean at least a flat 10% tax on all exported American goods by our trade partners, and a 30-60% increase on the cost of all products sold by companies that import (which is to say, all of them) with the new tariff as justification.
Thanks, Trump.
Also, now Trump is tweeting about a hefty nuke buildup.
I think Trump could do every single thing the Trumpkins swore Clinton would do and Obama has done and they would still support him. Their brains don't work like ours.
They (the 'alt-right' and the other objects) were born into a world where they aren't guaranteed a vocation, education, relation or home worth the name so they're just going to walk through society like infected, human-shaped wounds, casually sending death and rape threats towards anyone that displeases them and voting for the most destructive politicians they can find to take revenge on all of us for the crime of letting them live.
>>411952
None of us are guaranteed any of those though. Those of us working toward socialism are doing so because we consider that to be a detriment to society--they're actively working against having guaranteed education, relations, and homes. Not guaranteed vocations because, honestly, it's going to be very unlikely that more than, say, 20% of the human population has a "job" in 100 years (other than jobs in creative fields where the individual's voice means that even once machines can do the job just as well as any human, they won't be able to do it the same as any individual human), but once you have guaranteed shelter, food, and water, finding a vocation isn't hard. Most people already know what they would want to do with their lives if money weren't an issue (and very few people have "nothing" as the answer, even if some of them might think they want to do nothing--most people would get depressed almost to the point of suicide if they spent too long doing "nothing."), the barrier has always been opportunity and economic freedom.
>>411952
Your unwarranted sense of superiority makes you seem more ignorant than a Trump supporter.
>>411955
I'm not a moral relativist. Voting for a genuine racist sex criminal for president and a homophobe for VP means you are inferior and should die.

>Australia here
Gun control increased violent crime in Australia. Since the Australian gun control measure and during the greatest rise in American gun ownership, America has decreased its homicide stat by 6% while Australia has decreased theirs by only 4%.
I posted stats from Australian government and FBI a few threads ago, and I know both of you assholes were there so don't pretend like you didn't see them.
>>411954
>once you have guaranteed shelter, food, and water, finding a vocation isn't necessary
Fixed.
If people have those three things, all they'd need are casual jobs for luxury goods.
>Most people already know what they would want to do with their lives if money weren't an issue (and very few people have "nothing" as the answer

Everyone has nothing as an answer. The only thing people want to do with their lives is entertainment. If you give people shelter, food and water, they'll just work for video games or sports tickets.

I don't hate guns. I hate people that own them and manufacture them, because they make long-term democracy impossible. I mean, we all know that the instant a democratic president has a mandate again and does something rural White men really don't like even if its constitutional, they will use their guns to veto democracy and support tyranny. That has always been the reason guns exist - they are the Whites' last veto.
But yes, I think homophobes and anti-abortionists, implicit or implicit, should be killed. When Trump begins shortening the life expectancies in Whiter and poorer regions, it will be a just thing and people should try to donate to charity in a way that only helps non-White Americans. It will also be good if federal welfare is curtailed, because the only reason slave states can have lower taxes is due to modern states keeping people from killing and stealing for survival. The slave states have to be cut off quickly.
It's one of the reasons I don't care about disasters and atrocities in Africa and the Middle East. They have bigoted, impoverished lives where they have as many kids as possible so they can live for a little longer and mainly treat anyone who is too different as shit. It's not very tragic when they die.

>>411959
>I don't hate guns. I hate people that own them and manufacture them, because they make long-term democracy impossible.
That makes no sense.
Democracy is about giving power to the people, specifically political power.
And political power sprouts from the barrel of a gun.
An armed populace is a fucking REQUIREMENT for a democracy, map related.
If you were a halfway decent socialist you would know this.
>>411961
Most of the guns in Europe are guns for real men and women, i.e. hunting guns. And the requirements and controls in Switzerland are meant to make proper humans of gun owners before they get their hands on them.
The second amendment has unnecessarily killed more innocent Americans than all hostile nations combined. Stopping its conception is up there with preventing the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
In addition you are an idiot on multiple levels:
>That has always been the reason guns exist - they are the Whites' last veto.
By giving minorities guns, you remove that veto, you massive fucking idiot. But if you go the other way and remove the guns from whites, they will still be the majority, and still able to vote against minorities.
In fact original gun control was put in place as a method of disarming blacks, so they could be lynched.

>identity politics oogabooga
You mean politics. Whites targeting other people based on their identity, thereby making everyone's identities politically salient. Christians targeting other people and making their identities more important. All the things you hate and fear are all your own fault. If you got upset when police torture and kill black men, rather than get upset at the people making the police feel bad, then you would be a real human like me - an enemy of identity politics.
If everyone obeyed more evolved humans and helped purge homophobia, racism and gender roles from culture and social life, individualism and meritocracy would be the norm.
I mean, identity politics work. Without Whites wanting to hurt non-Whites and Christians wanting to hurt gays and women, Trump wouldn't win. When you pointed out demographics to Whites, they wanted more Trump. And Trump voters believe there are a lot more Muslims than there actually is.
Therefore, identity politics. There's only going to be more of it once the deportation officers start doing knock-and-shoot visits and a huge legal battle over the Muslim registry starts. Identity politics will become about not just justice, but survival.
>>411964
Meritocracy is just the most socially acceptable form of oligarchy. And being in favor of oligarchy is always a way of saying "I should have more rights than other people."

Actually they don't, it's proven that they don't.
All countries (ex yugoslavia) in the past that were run on idpol failed horribly. They had every ethnicity and religion be able to vote in proportion to their population, so minorities had extra votes. And all "identities" were ensured representation in leadership.
>>411967
Being in favor of meritocracy is saying "i think i have enough merit to succeed". Even if you're poor, you can hope your kids can get educated enough to excel, which is a frequent occurrence in America.
Being against meritocracy is saying "i think im a worthless pile of shit, pay me anyway. also i dont want better people to do better than i do, keep everyone else down!"
Pretty clear which group you fall in :^)
>My definition of idpol is that minorities get extra votes
First of all, that is maximalist argumentation so you just exposed your Aspergers. Idpol doesn't have to go that far.
Second of all,the US is designed to give slave states and White people extra votes so you just showed how central idpol already is to Whitelings in the US. Other groups are just catching u, hence the hatred and increasing talk of beating uppity groups down with systematic violence and discrimination.

>pro-bombing brown people
So was Khadaffi. I completely and unconditionally forgive Clinton for Libya and wanting to intervene earlier in Syria (Russia intentionally made that country much worse to flood Europe with refugees and destabilize the continent, because Russia is a tumor that is now going to metastatize).

So was Obama and he did more for LGBT Americans than anyone. All of that will be gone now, thanks to fake leftists who are about to realize that puritanism and accelerationism are equally hopeless. Sanders will be dead soon and the progs will instantly lose all energy and hope. Along with the New Deal, public national parks and all chances of undoing Citizens United, avoiding a war with Iran and the ensuing massive deficit that the tax cuts for the one percent will create ^_^.

>improving living standards for minorities
By making sure blatantly racist law enforcement protocol becomes the law of the land?
>reforming justice system (removing the Clinton Crime Bill)
The only sense in which he's in favor of reforming the justice system is in making it easier for him to sue people who say things he doesn't like--i.e. eroding the first amendment

He is literally the biggest threat to diplomacy in the nation.
You seem to have no idea who you've elected. Which is no surprise--Trump says he holds every position possible and Trump Voters ignore all the ones that they don't want and say he was just saying that for the sake of politics--but the things they care about, he's definitely serious about.
The next four years are going to be absolutely awful, but the one silver lining is going to be watching people like you suffer through it while having to make up more and more absurd justifications for why "Actually, this is exactly what I wanted." The schadenfreude will be all the sweeter because the rest of us have done everything we could to protect you from what you're going to go through, and you still decided to fuck an electrical socket.

You're about to come across a paradox - the more exhaustive and earnest your response to republican spiel is, the more dismissive, brief and facetious the response will be.

>Did you just accidentally realtalk yourself into realizing Trump isn't Hitler?
Yes. Hitler cared more about the common man. He hated gays, non-Christians and non-Whites slightly more than Turmp does, but he actually cared about workers, well-paid jobs and median-income households. Trump does not.
>>412007
Oh, I don't intend to convince anyone of anything. I mainly just wanted to make a point of letting them know that liberals will have absolutely nothing to feel guilty about when they enjoy Trump voters' suffering the next four years, because we wholeheartedly, and in good faith, did everything we could to save them. Which means the suffering they're about to undergo is in no way our fault, and therefore guilt-free entertainment.

No White person is afraid of or upset over jokes about White genocide. Every single White person knows the very concept is an outlandish prospect and that the term is only used by nazis who are upset that White women around them think Idris Elba is hot.
As a White person with White family, I wouldn't even feel scared if the head of my state was non-White and called for White genocide. It would not affect my life in the slightest.

If I were in any country where a leader called for a genocide of a group I was a member of, I'd be scared. I'd probably flee the country.

So were the half the Jewish. All I'm saying is that if that leader wasn't assassinated, people will try and kill you. Race does not enter into it. Therefore, if this were a real scenario, I think it would be normal to be scared.
Keep in mind the fact that the person was democratically elected suggests that you aren't an overwhelming majority, and therefore have less security.

Votes don't matter if voters are stupid, and about half of Trump voters think THE EMAILS contained conspiratorial talk about pedophilia and trafficking. Which immediately means their votes should have been dissolved in acid for the sake of us all.
We don't let people with such mental disconnection from reality that they don't understand empiricism and consequences stand trial (unless we think it's fun to torture them with years of isolation in death row, which is what Jesus would have wanted), drive cars or take loans, so why let them vote or pretend respecting their decisions and demands is good for our democracy?

Along those lines: Yesterday, Fox News talked about how food stamp fraud is at record levels — $70 million worth, in fact. That sounds awful, right? That sounds like a system we need to overhaul or maybe even do away with, right? Well, the food stamp program is funded to the tune of around $75 billion dollars on a yearly basis. That "record level" fraud affected less than one percent of the program's budget.

I have heard about the lawsuit, and I have both seen and heard about Trump's behavior toward women. I could believe that Trump raped an underage girl.

Correlation does not equal causation. If you could prove how the donation caused the State Department's reversal of its stance, you would not have to make an argument out of mere accusations.
>If she wants to run for president she should release all Clinton Foundation finance info.
Did the Clinton Foundation not release any financial information? Because I seem to recall people knowing enough about the charity's finances to point out how it uses a smaller amount of donations for overhead expenses than many other charities.
And speaking of financial information: Trump did not release a single bit of his own. I doubt that bothers you, though.
>Is it too much to ask a politicians charity to be transparent?
I suggest asking the Trump Foundation's board of directors about that.
>I have no doubt that no level of evidence can convince you
Your "evidence" is not evidence. You have not offered even an iota of verifiable proof to back up any accusations you have made or repeated. I cannot be convinced of a thing because you say it is the truth; you must show me how it is the truth.
>I still remember us showing photo & video evidence of Hillary having health problems and you were still denying it.
No, you offered photos and videos of Hillary coughing and stumbling, then acted as if she was on her deathbed. You did not say "Hillary seems a little sick here", you all but said "Hillary is going to die within the next couple of days". Saying something is the truth does not make it the truth. Case in point: Hillary is still alive. (Another case in point: That "$70 million in food stamp fraud" story that Fox News reported on earlier this week, which I mentioned earlier in this thread, appears to have been nothing but a fabrication - https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/erik-wemple/wp/2016/12/29/agriculture-department-seeks-correction-from-fox-news-on-food-stamp-fraud-report/)
>your brain gets broken at the thought of a single democrat politician being corrupt
I have no problems with believing in the idea of a corrupt left-leaning politician. But I require proof of that corruption to believe any such accusation. This is why I believe Donald Trump is at least a serial sexual harasser: His own statements and actions prove he has a low enough opinion of women to believe he can "grab 'em by the pussy" without their consent and get away with it due to his fame and wealth.
Muslim Americans would never vote for a Muslim man who had groped any woman, even once.

I think that's a pretty good depiction of the situation for Western women. In the front you have a pasty, subhuman, classless, uneducated rich-boy fascist with bad hair grabbing your cunt, and in the back you have a darker subhuman, uneducated, classless poor little swine trying to grab your ass.

More specifically, though, anyone who voted for Trump--or indeed failed to vote against Trump--said in no uncertain terms that taking pride in sexual assault is not a disqualifying feature in the person they want as President. Failing to vote against Trump disqualifies you from pretending that you give a shit about the sanctity of an individual's body if they're women.

Did you know that consent can be coerced even without direct threats? Think about the history of Trump's petty and vindictive behavior, then add to that his wealth and his proclivity for filing lawsuits. If a woman believed she would be better off allowing Trump to have sex with her because saying "no" might cause him to ruin her life (or worse), her consenting to sex with him would be coerced.
>And yet in all these stories, the one time a girl said no to Trump, he backed off.
One story out of…how many, again? Oh, and let us not forget that now-infamous tae where Trump talked about grabbing women "by the pussy", moving on a woman "like a bitch", and touching women without waiting for permission from them. At the bare minimum, he is an admitted serial sexual assaulter.
>democrat, republican, we should come together because we are all american
Yeah, he didn't write that speech, someone did it for him. It probably physically pained him to say it. He cares not about people "coming together". Trump is the same man who said he wanted to beat up protestors, "build the wall" at the Mexican border, ban Muslims from entering the country (even if they were already citizens!), and punish women for having abortions. After the election, he proclaimed his love for the black people who didn't (and in lots of cases, couldn't) vote on Election Day. Donald Trump gives no fucks about the people in the 99% who voted for him. If he did, why would he want to repeal the Affordable Care Act and take away affordable(-ish) healthcare from people who had none before the ACA — especially if the GOP lacks a viable plan to replace the ACA?

The job of the executive branch is to protect the constitution, not to enforce every single law. The option to not enforce a law is one of the primary checks and balances available to the executive branch, actually. This is civics 101 man.
>Who should I believe, the meth addict or the porn star?
Either of them? They're corroborating Trump's own words. He said he assaults women sexually and they agreed "Yes, I was assaulted by him sexually."
>that a rapist cannot possibly have.
What logic is this even? You're arguing that not doing a thing one time is proof that you've never done a thing. That doesn't exonerate anyone. You're stupid, and that is a big part of why you support someone as stupid as Trump--you admire seeing a fellow idiot fail upwards and mistake it for success. Because you're stupid.

No, it does not. A single corroborated story does not, on its own, make all the other accusations against him null and void. It might tarnish the credibility of the other accusers at most. On the flip side, Trump himself has admitted to sexually assaulting women; even you cannot ignore the Access Hollywood tape. If I take both that tape and his general attitude toward younger women (including his own daughter) into account, I can believe that Trump has sexually assaulted women.
>>412228
Yeah it does.
Unless you think rape is like the flu, it comes and goes.
>>412231
People have long accused me of being a gigantic fuck-up. If I do something right once — just once — in the presence of other people, does that single act make all of those accusations null and void?
Incidentally, this nonsense logic is also why the alt-right never admits racism to be a problem--in their minds, a racist is someone who always and intentionally commits malicious and heinous racist acts against other people, and anyone who ever does something that doesn't count as racist--having a friend of another race, making a donation to the NAACP, voting for Obama--means they're "not a racist" and also, since they're not a racist--nothing they've ever done is racist. The idea that a normal person can do something racist, or that a person can be a racist and still do non-racist things sometimes--is alien to them, because their entire worldview is manichean. There are no shades of gray, only black and white.
Same thing with sexism, homophobia, or prejudice against religious groups. You either are or are not a bigot and therefore bad--it's not possible for someone they like or approve of to do something bigoted. Which is why they enable so god damned much bigotry borne out of ignorance, laziness, or privilege because of their desire to "protect" anyone whose actions get called out but "couldn't possibly be a bigot" because, like, they had sex with a mexican girl once or something.
>>412235
What you're describing isn't the alt-right but the good old fashioned regular Conservative. The Alt-Right is DELIBERATELY encouraging the worst parts of conservatism, in all forms of ignorance and hatred, by backwards logic, non-admission, and misinformation.
>>412233
> If I do something right once — just once — in the presence of other people, does that single act make all of those accusations null and void?
Yes actually, that's how you stop being a loser, by winning.
Although this has nothing to do with deeply mutually contradictory moral choices such as whether to rape or not rape.
>>412235
And in your mind it's possible to "sort of" rape someone. Like stare rape. Or fart rape. Or whatever the fuck this image is.
So you spend your entire existence accusing people or rape, murder, genocide, or whatever.
Coincidentally you usually accuse people like your competitors at work, or people who don't wholeheartedly agree with anything you want. It's just a coincidence that there's always a benefit for you to be gained by the accusation....
>making a donation to the NAACP, voting for Obama--means they're "not a racist"
That just makes people retarded, because both naacp and obama are corrupt as fuck.
It also makes people racist. Because they're clearly choosing charities based on race, and voting based on race.
You're not very good at this, are you?
>>412236
so these
>>412242
>>412243
are a perfect example of what I mean: Republicans are can vary freely between ignorant to actively malicious, to maybe the 3-5 dudes holding on because they are just that damn terrified of Keynesian economics. The ALT-RIGHT however are not this way due to ignorance (or not primarily, rather) but outright evil, and if they ever feel cornered they just try to start some complete other form of nonsense
the only way to beat them, and one day, to beat Trump (this is a lesson learned by people fighting Berlusconi in Italy), is to not play their game
For the alt-righter on the ground: don't engage their bullshit, bury it and deplatform them, only bother acknowledging it if it really boils over, at which point issue stern, non-hysterical corrections
For HumptyTrumpty: treat him like a normal candidate and politician, no matter how annoying it is to do, push past his bluster, focus on digestible (read: short, soundbyte friendly) alternatives to his policies and maintain attacks on him as a secondary point
>>412245

>>412247
>Trump listens to you and represents you as well.
Only if you live in the US.
Trump only cares about himself and his brand. For fuck's sake, look at the tweets he made about that ethics committee situation: He cared more about the timing of the GOP's attempt to gut that committee than about the actual attempt itself. He does not care if that committee gets scrapped, only that it does not get scrapped now, when people are paying close attention to the GOP-owned Congress and the incoming Trump administration. (And the GOP will try this again when people are not paying attention.)
Hell, he only posted those two tweets about the situation so he could take credit for what general public outrage (and thousands of calls to Congress) actually did. And that plan worked, by the way: Several major media outlets gave Trump credit for getting the GOP to pull that rules amendment — and most, if not all, of those outlets ignored the actual context of Trump's tweets.
>>412255
I'm really dismayed by how outlets handled the OCE news. It's TRUMP SAVES THOUSANDS OF CARRIER JOBS all over again, but somehow even worse, because (1) how have you not learned the game by now and (2) instead of rushing to get the story out before the facts emerged they just totally misreported what happened. He calls the office an unfair watchdog right there in the tweets and it's transformed into him taking a stand for good government. The wave of angry constituents that made them back down gets overlooked (or Trump gets grouped in as a voice in the outcry when his stance is "not NOW").
Also, overlooked in the day's commotion is the GOP introduced fines for taking photos or video on the House floor in response to the gun control sit-in, nominally to preserve ~decorum. Big whoop.
>>412260
>the GOP introduced fines for taking photos or video on the House floor
I wonder how long the GOP will wait before trying to ban all cameras from the House, if not both chambers of Congress.
>>412242

At which point the ACLU turns them inside out for attacking freedom of the press so blatantly.

Contact your reporters and representatives people. Make sure the former gets better at their job and the latter fears the people and knows you are an angry constituent (or pleased one, if they're doing something you like, even if they're a Republican).

it will be interesting to see a young, healthy, popular ex-president running around with approval ratings twice as high as the incumbent's
>>412285
>approval ratings twice as high
He has the lowest average rating since Carter.
Both bushes, Reagan and even Clinton had higher ratings.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_approval_rating#Historical_comparison
To give some actual data:
Obama's current average approval rating for this week is 55%. The historical average for all presidents since Gallup started polling Approval Ratings is 53%. Meaning that Obama is at this moment a little more popular than is average for a president, and that a slight majority of the country approves of the job he's doing.
Daily reminder that everyone in this thread who disagrees with you is clearly a reprehensible troll.

>Update
>A Kentucky Democratic lawmaker has filed a similar bill there. As of last month, Kentucky's governor said he did not support the bill.
That's nice to hear.
Personally, I think words like "homophobic", "transphobic" and "misogynistic" get thrown about too lightly, but I feel that those bills are appropriately described as transphobic.
Also, regarding that "outting trans children" part alone, I think that can only do harm. While I have no personal experience with "coming out" and only know two people to have done so (one was bisexual, one was trans-something (non-binary?), idc tbh), I assume that the only reason a student would come out to a teacher before coming out to their parents (ie. the situation the bill applies to) is if they fear abuse from their parents.

If you aren't familiar with VA politics then take comfort: this doesn't have a prayer of passing.

Well that's interesting, though doomed to be ignored.
To those who would suggest that the kidnapping and assault of that white man in Chicago is associated with the Black Lives Matter movement, I would ask only that they prove it without resorting to this argument: "Well, they're black, so of course they're part of BLM."
And I would also note that four people have already been arrested for that crime, and they will likely be punished in due time.

Yeah it's going to be ignored because the group doing it is unqualified and almost as butthurt as you.

Well then. I guess that's that, huh? No need to go on about it. Four arrested for "that crime." Just a couple of crazy kids. A few bad apples. There's nothing more to this. Let's just bury it.
Glad to see you can control that passion for justice when it comes to mentally challenged people being kidnapped and tortured.
Alright folks, lets get back to talking how white people are all racist and need to die.
>>412304
Stone stop playing with the children. You wanted to talk about the VA law, let's have an actual conversation on that instead of you continuing to encourage shitposters. Now, with regards to VA, most of our real regressive population dwells in the SW and mountains. Even our Republicans are traditionally moderates, so it has little chance of getting through the legislature. And even if it did, our governor, a compatriot of Kaine, would kill it. Kentucky is a much larger concern.
>>412305
McAuliffe has said he will veto any such bill. Southern states such as Kentucky are a concern, too. But you will also want to keep an eye toward Texas, which is where the "schools must out trans kids to their parents" part of Virginia's bill came from.
Also, note that language in the Virginia bill about "protection". What kind of threat does the average trans person pose, such that we need new laws to "protect" the average person from said threats? Rhetorical question - the actual intent of such laws is to push trans people out of the public sphere. The Religious Right failed to do that with gay people, but it still has a chance to do it with transgender people.
>>412305
>let's have an actual conversation
Bwahahahahaha!
What kind of conversation could you possibly have with stone? You already agree with each other.
If you want someone to nod at you while you're nodding at them, just go nod at a mirror, or buy this toy.
Not content with allying with Russia, the party of treason has decided to ally with literal cancer by defunding Planned Parenthood.
>>412311
Well, to the GOP, this makes sense: A woman cannot have an abortion if she dies before she can get one. By defunding Planned Parenthood, the GOP makes sure that the chances of an average woman dying due to a lack of affordable (or even available) gender-specific healthcare go way up.
>>412311
Yeah, because if you provide abortions paid for by donations, you should be denied taxpayer money used for cancer screenings and prenatal care that can save babies' lives.
And this, kids, is why I don't feel anything other than happiness when republicans get tied up and beaten.

Turkey isn't an enemy, it's a very key NATO ally that prevents Russia from having large numbers of submarines or anything approaching a proper aircraft carrier. Or even building large cargo ships for commercial trade... Turkey is a principal reason why America controls the sea without competitor.
Now we have China outbuilding us in terms of ships, and on top of that Russia is pushing through all the roadblocks we put in place to prevent them from competing with us.
It's a big deal in a series of ways, from political, to military, to economic...
>>412333
I'll wait until Trump himself says it, but we already have a budget for a wall bro, we even built like 40% of it. Obama stopped construction and redirected funds, but those funds would still be available.
And this money would all be repaid by annulling the horrible NAFTA deal and exacting tariffs on trade with Mexico.
>Now we have China outbuilding us in terms of ships, and on top of that Russia is pushing through all the roadblocks we put in place to prevent them from competing with us.
