I'm a scientist too so I guess that makes me double master race



I've always wondered, why does everyone hate lawyers so much? I've always thought it's a pretty noble profession on the surface.


you haven't met enough lawyers

Russian planes have as much business there as American planes.

But it is alright though, Putin is doubling down on Assad because Assad is the only dictator left who will return his phone calls.

Let them both go down together. Who pays? Syrians and Russians in the end unfortunately. Hopefully Europe will be kind to them as they're flooding in.

Nah, Europe's starting not-to-care about the Iraqi refugees.

They aren't being kind to the Syrians right now, and are blaming them for all the problems that existed before they got there, and will probably scapegoat them like the Jews. They might be kinder to the Russians, because of their light complexion, when they're flooding into Europe looking for food and shelter

true and not true, at least here people often genuinely hate Russians. I just hope that their system will collapse asap.

its economy is in the shitter, the state is getting increasingly authoritarian to quell domestic trouble, the old oligarchs are running out of things to steal (we solved that problem for our oligarchs with Citizens United), and Putin is looking increasingly erratic and


I fucking hope so, I'd not like a global power next door.

Weve traded our future for a decadent present. A model held up by the higher willingness of less developed countries to work and made socially acceptable by failed models that dont understand "what goes in must come out."

The simple answer is our trade deficit, combined with a fiat money system, and financially incompetent leaders who largely only went into government because they failed in the private sector. Ie: Bill Clinton was the only modern president who understood why our entitlements system was a disaster for the next generation.

Its almost like you believe the shit you are saying. Incredible.
Its one thing to say a lot of bad things happened during our industrialization and that the conditions were very unfavorable compared to what we have today.
Its another to compare the communist genocide favorably to our industrialization, while pre-emptively mocking anyone who would disagree in order to further your communist anti-human agenda.

There is a massive difference between A) people moving to cities to work in shitty conditions for a better life and B ) The government nationalizing everything with incredibly dumb uneconomic policies leading to the deterioration of conditions and starvation and death of countless millions and directly killing anyone who disagreed.

Its one thing to not appreciate concepts like economic calculation and misallocations of resources and the difference between voluntary and involuntary, but you could at least try to not be so arrogant about your deliberate misrepresentations and lack of regard for individual liberty and prosperity.
As it turns out the interests of the totalitarian states are not the same as the interests of the masses, and that attempts for totalitarian governments to control society have been some of the most horrific periods in human history, no matter how many anti-capitalist slogans you repeat.


Very well put. I like skinned but he definitely went off the deep end with that comment.
