The biggest nightmare in US is that you can't express your opionion openly anymore...becuase is the risk that the liberal mob will kick you from work,universities,practically destroy your life, if that opinion isn't matched with theirs. That's fucking scary.

For the wrong word,they will eat even their own.

I'll let you know the flavor of the koolaid...

I mostly meant even Hillary and Obama are too right for Europe.

Word. Thanks for the heads-up on the latest.


Modimania is a thing. I don't get it.


As much as Nassim Taleb is a total d%$k, I do agree with him on this much: the system is biased towards extremism because the "holier than thou" mantra only works by edging people out further at the extremes.

Modi's got excellent PR management that maximise his strengths while hiding his weaknesses. He's shite at being held accountable, so he basically bought off MSM, stopped giving press conferences and only gave scripted interviews that allowed him to control his image and narrative rather than let anyone define what it is. So you get a charismatic leader on the surface. Impressive, considering his image was tarnished after the 2002 riots due to which he was banned from visiting the US. Not only that, but he's survived some disastrous incidents like Demonetisation, farmer suicides, highest unemployment numbers in decades and tanking economy. Gotta give the devil his due.

Haven't read up on Taleb, but yea, I do seem to agree. Being nuanced and maintaining a balanced opinion is so difficult for most humans, and that veering to one side, especially when someone entices us emotionally to pick that side, is much easier.

I'm not shocked by the idiot who wrote it,but by the almost half a million people who agrees with that.

Hope Trump wins,want to see the heads of these looney's explode.

Racism is thinking one race is superior and act on that. Nothing can change that. If we are dealing with another phenomenon we should find another name for it.

The belief that blacks in the US are more likely to commit a crime than nonblacks is similar to the belief that men are more likely to commit a crime than women. Blacks and men are disproportionally more likely than non-blacks and women to be stopped by police. Nobody finds the latter discriminatory although the disproportion rate is far higher there. Both beliefs are rooted in our screening of the environment we are living in. Both beliefs are stereotypical and biased but that's all they are. Having lived in Philly in the past 7 years, the assailant/suspect in every single alert I have received on my phone from the university police about a crime, from theft to armed robbery and aggravated assault, is a black man. Now I'm coming from another country, and I see myself as very empathic towards the poor and marginalized and vulnerable. When walking home at night in an uncrowded street though, I feel much more threatened when I see a black than a white person coming towards me, a lot more threatened when I see a man than a woman. I am stereotyping, and police do that too. There are two differences though: one, the police have screened the environment a lot more than me and have had more exposure to what's happening out there (doesn't mean there are no racist cops but the % is probably proportional to the % of racist people in the country), and two, while my stereotyping will make me cross the street or be more alert about a potential threat, Police's stereotyping can take an innocent person's life, so we should use incidents like this to demand reform because any life that's taken unjustifiably is worth our attention, sympathy and call for a change.

Definitely, I'm all for police reform and hope when it happens in the US it inspires some change in my country and wherever else its needed too.

Not sure where the systemic racism is though.

I posted some black trans activist claiming this the other day. Apparently, perfect indigenous cultures everywhere valued transgender people as the most sacred in society. Evil white colonialism destroyed this and made a transphobic culture.

Reminds me of this satire piece from CBC radio.

American media picked this up and reported on it, thinking it was real news.

Hey. They might behead them... But that is turning them into martyrs and saints. That’s a great honour.

And still the best in sports, technology, and science - the most attractive destination for high-skilled and low-skilled immigrants - the most tolerant of different opinions - and still providing the best environment to discuss ideas

Nothing can change that, not even Trump.

Iran is one of the most progressive countries when it comes to Transgenders; Khomeini was clear: if you are gay and you want to be alive, change your gender Iran even subsidizes gender reassignment.

Even if it is two black guys beating up a white girl, what is it supposed to mean? No one’s claiming all black people are innocent or incapable of committing crimes.
