am i right in thinking that the anti-canon would be something like going to lhasa a the time tibet the place was closed to the outside world? there is no interzone, you either reach lhasa or are driven out before arrival. whatever the means or tricks used to advance, there is a starting point...

not really, i will keep my eyes open and exercise my right to have a different opinion on trump and other issues.

sorry, i saw david duke and closed the window. not surprising he is exploiting the jewish thing, they are after all reponsible for all evils in the world.

nonsense, he said many (not all) mexicans who cross the border are involved in drug/people trafficking and rape, which is a fact when you see crime statistics in texas and border states. the incidence of rape and killing of illegal immigrants by the very people smugglers they rely on is well...

he's a complete nutcase, trump has rejected him repeatedly. also trump's grandchildren and daughter are jewish, is friends with kanye etc, it's a stretch to imply he is racist.

i know some very pro-environment people who are pro-nuclear. i'm not one of them but i can see their point. i honestly did not see the racism, misoginy and incitement to violence you say you did; perplexing because i remember zero instances of these things and find mostly evidence to the...

he is a lot more moderate than people give him credit for. also he was up against a formidable and supremely well-funded political machine with ties to most major media outlets that painted him as a racist/fascist/mysoginist when he clearly wasn't. we'll see, but i suspect he will be far more...

he just gave her and president clinton a standing ovation at a dinner. perhaps after the dinner?

i think he changed his mind on that, thankfully, as mattis is against it.

perhaps, but you have to give him credit for being all-out against it from the start. which is why all the major corporations and banks were behind hillary, not trump.

i addressed these points in the other thread. of course it's not necessary to have a dictatorship to undermine freedoms, american democracy is proof that a system can be co-opted and become undemocratic in subtle ways while maintaining the title. having said this, i think anyone with a taste of...

yes, i think most of this stuff is taken out of context or too literally. if by threatening to imprison political opponents you mean hillary, that was a pithy/humorous response in the context of a debate where his opponent quite literally has gotten away with things that others have been...

yes, i do. there is no parallel between a seventeen-year military regime led by an unelected dictator and a democratically elected president in a country with a free judiciary and separation of powers. there is no parallel between locking up political opponents, torturing and disappearing...

project veritas. i'm not convinced steve bannon is what you say he is, surely a neo-nazi wouldn't hire jews? hardly an isolated event. see the battering and car robbery of a trump supporter dragged along by his tormentors, the multiple episodes of campus violence against trump supporters and...

hardly, he has denounced the kkk (in particular david duke) and i have seen nothing in the trump camp resembling the brownshirt/blackshirt tactics deployed by the left. i fail to see the racist nationalist themes in having a strong border, stopping the inflow of drugs/crime and prioritising...

droid, you may have missed the intentional violence by democratic operatives at trump rallies. or torture of a trump supporter by four in chicago a few weeks ago. but let's ignore the pesky facts that get in the way of the evil nazi trump narrative!

the record-setting cloud of pollution in all of mainland china last week would beg to differ. i'm sure they are taking steps to address the problem, unfortunately it is usually along the line of ignoring or locking up those who voice.

perhaps, i don't mind being in the minority. my point is that reaction to him is completely unhinged. (as in escaping normal bounds of discourse and civility). this will continue to feed the monster, as tea points out, and that is your choice. in the meantime the reaction (violence against trump...

droid, is it possible you're viewing all this through a very distorted lens? i don't see any neo-nazi speechwriters. some of his appointments are actually quite good (eg. mattis). also, the planet has been fucked over left and right for eons, even zero pollution in the west will be offset by...

i suppose you're right, droid, i don't expect it will go anywhere. i did want to get that and other stuff off my chest. for example, recently, in hong kong, i said something mildly pro-trump and the counter-argument was: how can you defend him when your country has suffered pinochet! which is...
