The children of now-defunct Gawker learned zero from their parent site’s demise.

What seems to get lost in these things is that, while anger is a justified response, actions taken as a result of that anger are in no way guaranteed to be justified (or productive toward desired outcomes).

I agree 100%, with “option B” as the preferred path in the last paragraph. The difficulty with both options is the exact determination of “how much” wealth was extracted, over how long and who, specifically, pays. That isn’t to say that it shouldn’t be done, but it might be too complex of a task to ever actually…

Nationalism isn’t really unique to America either, though. There are clueless hillbillies everywhere who think that they have the best way of life and that everyone else is hopelessly stupid for being different. America seems to hog the spotlight, I will give you that. If there is one thing that we export too much of,…

A star for you. I get the feeling that a lot of the loudest proponents of the idea that white people are inherently evil have never traveled at all. Everyone has the capacity for evil, and those that claim that they don’t are the most dangerous of all. Most progressives are in fact trying very hard to work toward an…

Since you have now stated a clear lack of interest in conversing, I respect that, so you won’t hear any more from me.

I considered fanning the fire a little more, but that’s unproductive for everyone. So.

It is awfully pompus of Europeans/Westerners to criticize and blame the number of children that Africans have as being the reason for Africa’s poverty...

Oh, ok, you are just angry and want to vent. Carry on then.

lol...in one brief response we have:

Not seeing the irony. Inform me please.

I hate to break it to you, but people “not keeping it in their pants” is easily argued as the #1 threat to the future of humanity. Climate change, at its root, isn’t the result of people “consuming too much”. It is the result of too many people consuming, period. We can cut consumption all we want now, but as long as…

Readily available statistics from reputable sources:

We’ll see what the investigation ends up saying about this one. People with moderate to severe bipolar disorder are scary when they have an episode. I had a neighbor who was severely bipolar and schizophrenic. Most of the time he was fine. But the times when he was off the meds or consuming alcohol, he was running…

This seems like bipolar disorder (like, actual bipolar disorder). I had a neighbor that was severely bipolar and he would also launch into insane racist rants and conspiracy fantasies, and it was scary shit to witness, particularly because he was usually in the street brandishing hand weapons at the same time. When he…

I know you never outright said it, but it’s essentially how your post came off. Now take your honest attempt at explaining your view on these issues, run it through the DNC’s horribly inept messaging filter and stuff it into the 24 hour news cycle. Is it any wonder that much of the nation, who wouldn’t really take the…

lol

Sure, your points address the nuances of reality. However, as this last election clearly demonstrated, most voters don’t actually seem to care all that much. Whites are the single largest voting bloc, and if the DNC intends to win elections, it is going to have to deal with that. “Because other people have it worse,…

How is universal health care and an increased minimum wage “throwing marginalized people under the bus”? Workers’ rights ARE women’s and minorities’ rights, as is universal health care! I swear, it’s like the fact that it helps EVERYONE is a bad thing to Hillary supporters because it would also help whites along with…

Star for being reasonable. Thanks.
