I already thought Obama getting a Nobel peace prize after his massive drone warfare in the Middle East and Africa made that whole organization a joke. Trump getting it would be so much of a step beyond "a joke" that I don't even know what to call it.

Don't feed the troll; it's not worth it.

The Nazis were buried underground since the end of WWII until Gamergate due to the fact that being a Nazi was viewed as unacceptable in society.

yes. agreed. also, ugh. i'll guarantee you whoever downvoted your post is some fucking theist.

Nah, just a pretentious person who's calling other people pretentious because they don't like who they are as a person and they take it out on others who do. No need to feed the troll.

The last point is just the paradox of tolerance. I don't tolerate intolerance, although I am also a strictly non-violent person except for self defense. What does work is public pressure/shame, and imprisonment in the case that they commit crimes.

All of Fox News

"Maybe Millenials should save money instead of spending it on avocado toast" was a very common sentiment at the time.

Yet, the AfD is still allowed to exist for some reason.

"Hey, now, maybe he was just trying to "put his heart out" to people. Also he's autistic or something.

Him saying "I looooove Hitler" on Alex Jones was just him saying "I don't love Hitler", but in secret code."

MAGA, probably

The meaning of life is very simple: life has no meaning unless you create meaning. What that meaning is is going to differ from person to person.

The meaning I give to my life is to do everything I can to further human knowledge and to learn as much as possible myself.

For other people, it could be exploring the world, finding inner peace, helping as many people as possible, gaining power/money by any means necessary, etc.

All valid, some more well-intentioned than others. IMO if your goal is to do good by yourself and/or to others without actively seeking to hurt others, there isn't really a wrong answer.

Wait, I got one!

Let's see... Trump. Intelligence. Trump lacking intelligence...

Nah, I got nothing.

Always has been unless you count modding to remove this kind of shitty DRM.

Nintendo was the company to popularize DRM in home consoles with the US release of the NES. The Famicom had no DRM even though it was identical hardware otherwise (well, that, the RF modulator, and the PCB layout).

Or Nintendo.

Identical in the US, except the Nazi Party of America already won and is currently in power.

Chuck Schumer lmao

It's not just AIPAC that's the main problem (although it absolutely is a problem); the Democrats and Republicans both get massive amounts of "donations" from large PACs (including AIPAC), corporations, billionaires, etc. that they choose to represent them by any means necessary, since that's who they get their paycheck from.

The only way to fix corruption for good is to permenantly make it so that corruption can never happen to begin with. Few individuals/stock traders shouldn't be allowed to own/influence these massive corporations; they need to all be forcibly converted to worker-owned coops (which will also abolish the stock market), and we also need a hard wealth cap (something like $50 million tied to inflation in both liquid and non-liquid assets). Imagine if you got to both vote for who your manager is and also vote to fire them if they do a bad job.

Any system that is still capitalist by nature (like social democracy) will still have an elite few who are able to buy influence. Capitalism actively encourages this to occur by its very nature (as pro-capitalists would say: "greed is good")

AIPAC is more of a symptom of a larger problem.

You can fake it by setting your oven to the lowest temperature and leaving the oven door slightly cracked. I did it last winter with some flank steak and it turned out great.

I think I left it for about 4-5 hours?

Or if Florida didn't rig the 2000 election for Bush, or if the Supreme Court never ruled that money = speech and corporations = people, or if Nixon didn't snuff out the hippie movement with the War on Drugs, or if the FBI never killed MLK Jr. for him being a socialist, or if Ronald Reagan and Joe McCarthy were unsuccessful in their Red Scare movement in the 1950s, or if FDR didn't compromise with capitalists and went full socialist instead.

There are lots of things to point to.

Besides his life, what else did they steal from us?

Our lives. Working until you die is a common occurance, and especially now that Elon and Trump buttfucked Social Security, that will only be worse.

I hear child slavery labor is coming back, too in many red states.

The Heritage Foundation is not new; their last big project was Ronald Reagan, and they were very successful in destroying the economy in the long run. That also started us down this path that got us to Trump to begin with.

Trump would never have happened if there wasn't mass amounts of economic hardship.

I think "evil" is a better word to describe them.

We also need to stop using the word "arrest" when it comes to ICE. As you said, these are kidnappings.

Not only are you personally more competant than anyone in this administration, but you're also not a Nazi (I'd imagine), which alone already makes you better than any Republican politician.

The fact that you think you might not be competant at the job is one of the things that makes you more competant (because you actually think before you act/speak).
