We need a low content or politics discussion thread in here then imo otherwise we're going to get like 100 threads like this as we get closer to election time.

Trump and Obama were both lousy presidents - though neither was as poor as GWB. Obama was dealt with the worst situation. Trump the best.

The next president will be likely be terrible too.

Oh look another wealth destroying tax!!

The left is doing a great job of discrediting itself. Warren effectively put herself out of the race too by wanting to raise corporate taxes. And people think the market won't care if these people win?

Meanwhile it was a glorious day today for the forces of good. Rat gets pulled out his hidey hole sporting beard and growling obscenties:



And nerd-Trump's company is in trouble. Meanwhile, actual-Trump is winning. May you all know days as good as this.

To be fair to trump recently saying wikileaks is not his thing its hard for him to find his car and remember what country his father was born in so he might of forgot he loved them.

His "loving Wikileaks" is a gleeful joke about how "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". If you don't get jokes that Trump supporters do get, you might want to reevaluate your life choices. Most what Trump says is an inside joke - the in being people who aren't morons.

sure, man




no quid pro quo, you're a quid pro quo

At least i can understand trump supporters who know he is not all there in the head but are in it for the money or other reasons. I dont like it but they are connected to reality. The worshipers on the other hand. The true believers who think is right in the head. Idk....

Stone and jr got to be disappointed their rat got got.

After the admins chased away hundreds of meanies that hurt your feelings, installed a new mod, and lifted your ban from politics you lasted only a few days before being banned again yesterday for... wait for it... racist posting.

*dies of shock*


Maybe you can convince the crowd here how US slavery was not racist because it was good business and whatnot. glhf

I don't think what he was posting was racist, per se, he was clearly trying to invite reaction by skirting around a definition, a la Billy boy

Yep yep, arguing slavery was not racist is totally not racist. Got it. Just a procedural violation.

Why are you bringing it to BFI?

Just replying to posts. Politics should stay in politics, imo, but I don't make that decision.

You just did make that decision, disagreeing with your own premise.

This is just you lying again. Exploring what is properly defined as racism isn't racism, it's basic philosophy. The loud screechy mob who got the old politics forum shut down were too much for well named to handle (my arguments against their cherished notions make me like a gorilla walking through a bunch of screeching fearful chimpanzees), and he didn't want to deal with the chimpanzees. It's the same reason Mat shut the old politics down. Poo flinging chimpanzees don't keep clean nests.

Plus my posts exposed well named's ignorance and poor scholarship (he deleted posts which were not at all racist which made his "scholarship" look foolish) so he was less inclined to deal with it. It's par for the course with SJWs and fundamentalists - reasoned criticism is something that must be attacked at all costs.

Anyway, I've got my answer and actually this thread here in BFI was pretty great in seeing the incredible economic ignorance that I didn't think existed in the modern world. I assume people are normal and sane when talking to them but ultimately SJWs are like right wing rednecks or racists - small worldview, limited philosophical understanding, limited broad cultural experience, poor understanding of history, horribad understanding of basic economics. It's just ignorance + nasty emotions + groupthink.

Love well named and I think he's doing a good job with that forum. He's hard left but with none of the flaws of the old politics mod. New politics has the Toothsayer seal of approval. And I'll leave it at that.

misrepresenting and strawmanning like you just did is not tolerated in the big boy forum, as you found out. enjoy your safe space, cucksayer

1. Big boy forums are about making money or getting something done, not shooting the breeze. I mean, lol?
2. Well named gave me heaps of PM warnings. He was a gentleman. I was certain to get exiled; nothing was "found out", it was in fact exactly as designed.
Anyone is free to post here and I am not free to post in your forum as my criticism of SJW "truths" offends the hard left moderator. Which is the safe space? Do you even know what the term means? Hint: for it to be a "safe space", strong contrary opinions to the prevailing group norms must be excluded. Words, what do they mean? Like I said:
You just proved it further with your parting post.

Keep blaming others for your repeated banning by reasonable mods, big boy. It's not like you are forced to post all that white nationalist BS, but I guess you can't help yourself.

You all bout makin that cheddah! *cough prop bet cough*

In a post about whether the US was a meritocracy, I pointed out what I did here - that the experience of Asian and Jewish minorities repeatedly going from extreme disadvantage to top income and social hierarchies in 1-2 generations - far above an average white person, is strong proof the US is a robust meritocracy. This post was deleted as "racist". Talking about Asian and Jewish immigrants crush whites at life success while starting far behind is "white nationalist BS".

You're insane bro. Own it.

didn't see your posts that were deleted as racist. I trust well named did his best at the impossible task of explaining to you why it was racist. Not impossible because you can't understand, but impossible because you already know that and were posting it "exactly as designed".

Asians have done well in the US in large part because those allowed to immigrate to the US are generally wealthy and well-educated. They weren't at an extreme disadvantage.

Can you two (max cut and TS) stfu and can a mod lock this thread? This is BFI, TS it's pathetic how you take the bait literally every single time and can't let things go. If you were really banned a couple days back into politics then lmfao that's on you bud. Stop engaging with max cut and making this forum worse.

This is false.

In general, Asians in the lowest decile of parental income and the lowest parental educational attainment are on average in the middle class within one generation. Truly extraordinary:



Look at that graph. Asians born to very dirt poorest of parents - below the poverty line - end up in the middle class on average. If that's not a robust meritocracy, what is? And people are saying ITT we need to change this system to something more socialist? Extraordinary. If anything we should be teaching the emulation of Asian cultures.

If people want to lie about me I'll respond. I didn't bump this thread.

Which Asian culture?
