Why is it Greenland and not every other country he fucked over that’s your redline? Let’s face it, no one in the Western world has a redline and all will keep sucking on Donnie’s rectum until the end of time. The west is a clown show that has clearly proven its lack of any principles.
Even if that was the case, I fail to see how this is any worse. A large portion of those scientists are the tech people that helped villains like Zuckerberg take over large parts of people’s lives. Many others work in the arms industry. I think the evidence for the “scientists” being better for the US than the OF models is lacking. At least the OF models aren’t enabling the worst people in the world to take over public life completely.
You seem to have a particularly bigoted view of Asian women that you seem to have found an outlet for in this thread hiding behind people’s anger at this murder. But there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of daylight between this racist murderer’s attitude towards immigrants and your attitude towards Asian women. “Such women cling so much”? You wish buddy. Despicable.
You think that the military was more restrained in Iraq than ICE is in the US? Really? We all know the name of this murderer, his victim’s name, how it all happened from several angles and so on. There were hundreds of thousands of victims of the US military in Iraq. How many of those murderers can you name, along with how they killed and the names of their victims? It’s amazing that even after scandals and atrocities like Abu Ghraib, people can utter nonsense like this. The military completely destroyed a civilisation in Iraq, but the suffering of Americans at the hands of ICE is somehow worse?
Where I am (Europe), I haven’t seen a single article calling this what it clearly is. Maduro is just a captive in every article, never a hostage. But they have no issue calling an Israeli pow a hostage despite him being taken from his damn tank in occupied territory. The west has become a total and very visible clown show, and I don’t think changing Trump to the next Obama can do a lot to change that perception internationally. Specially Europe has shown itself to be a particularly pathetic entity with very little independence from ‘daddy’ Trump.
I wonder how and when narco-trafficing becomes narco-terrorism. Presumably they’d have to explain that distinction in the kangaroo court?
Rachel Dratch is one of the funniest sketch comedians of all time imo. She’s a treasure, I miss her Debbie Downer so much.
hated cars and used to get car sick. I had him from puppy, and I don’t own a car or drive a whole lot, so it was cool. He went full blind when he was six, but lived to almost fourteen. 
is a rescue, and he’s obviously been in cars a lot, so he loves it and tries to jump in any car that opens its doors in the street.
Math and science aren’t history.
They are not, but they do involve the need to “compare, authenticate, calibrate, and contextualize”, which you stated was a western philosophical tradition. I was objecting to that characterization, because it implies that other cultures have had to learn from westerners that it’s desirable to “compare, authenticate, calibrate, and contextualize”.
Yes we owe an incredible debt to Islamic scholars for contributions to mathematics. That ain’t history.
Again, you’re selling the Islamic golden age very very cheap. Islamic scholars contributed far more than only mathematics and science. Among other subject, there’s a rich traditions in the study of history and a long list of muslim historians starting from the seventh century. Major figures like Ibn Khaldun have made massive contributions to the study of history. Likewise within the field of philosophy, where Islamic scholars have made major contributions. Isalmic philosophers have also played an important role in the survival of greek litterature and philosophy when Europe had regressed to the dark ages.
If you took a university course in history, you studied from a western perspective.
There’s big difference between this and the statement that the desire to do actual study of history is a western tradition. The west has been hegemonic worldwide for a good while, so it’s not strange that the dominant hegemonic power has had the largest influence on how the study is conducted in universities today. But even today, a major part of that western perspective that is dominant in the universities is bulit on the work of other cultures. To reduce everyone except the west to “oral traditions”, as if everyone but the west were hunter gatherers is strange, and ironically completely disregards the rich history of the study of history.

Huh? You don’t think the Asian civilisations of East and West Asia knew of studying history? I guess the Islamic golden age was western too? Because ‘the west’ during the dark ages wasn’t exactly known for comparing, authenticating, calibrating or contextualizing. While the Islamic world was the center for most contemporary sciences. It’s really really weird, and ironically extremely eurocentric to assume that analytic thinking is a European invention. The Mayan calendar is astronomically more correct than the contemporary western Julian calendar for example. How do you suppose the pre Columbian Mayans got there without any contact with this imaginary superior western philosophical tradition? Do you assume it was through ‘oral traditions’? JFC
Louis CK. He was my favorite comedian, but the first special after ‘cancellation’ had all the hallmarks of a washed up has been with grievances. But he’s been back to his old form lately, and I still consider him the best comic of his generation.

You didn’t get the memo? It’s fine to be the worst kind of bigot against hundreds of millions of civilian Russians, because of what their government does. They’re not like the population in western countries who have to be separated from the atrocities our governments have visited on the rest of the world for centuries. We are pure individuals, they are collectively responsible. So Americans can condemn Russian civilians as monsters, while sharing none of the blame for their own democratically elected government committing daily war crimes and atrocities.
A couple of weeks ago, they were replying “your mom did” when reporters asked who had suggested Budapest as a good city to meet Putin. They’re morons, and this is just going to be another moronic thing they did that no one remembers in a week. Absolutely nothing they say will ever be enough to fell them.
I always thought that Americans would react when their government would start to turn all of the tools and tactics they developed torturing brown people inwards towards the US population. However, I had not accounted for white America only considering white Americans to be real Americans. So as long as the ones suffering are non white Americans, it seems to be fine. Let’s see if that changes once the tactics start targeting white people as they inevitably will.
Yeah, these genociders are independent thinkers with morals, unlike those genociders who are the actual trash. I’m sure the mothers of murdered Palestinian children will be comforted by the fact that their children were slaughtered by moral and thinking genociders.
Some shit stinks less than other shit. Still shit though, so good riddance.
