Yes, let us purge the bezrodnyi kosmopolit from our glorious Rodina. It seems like I a struck a nerve or something as i didn't mention anything about anti-semitism or Russia. He who constantly hammers on crypto-fascist talking points shan't be confused when people mistake him for one. Definately hit a nerve. Not particularly, but I'm very much a fan of calling a spade a spade. lol

Funny how some preserve theirs with less effort and fury than they care about destroying others. Life can be unpredictable and funny in that way.

Professional agitators are hired to disrupt rallies such as those in Arizona and Chicago and the paper-trail seems to go between SuperPACs to the DNC.

Julian Assange's Internet access has been revoked: https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/787889195507417088 I wonder what caused the cup to runeth over for whom?

I would recommend "The Princes of the Yen" for further info. It demonstrates on how you destroy a currency, and effectively the country with it, with the good conscience of modernising it to global standards.

Remember kids, if you don't hate yourself, your values or your heritage you are a xenophobe then you are a racist. Preserving anything immaterial or material from your parents or grandparents is racist. The best virtue is for you is to cease to be and let those who weigh over your conscience take over. Then you will find salvation. Actually, i think that all of you are a bit racist.

There's a proverb: "The Swede cries as he accuses you of being racist".

Speaking of unexpected support...

Other than being the best recipe against constipation, i wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Based on my own experiences in the military.

Now CNN and Fox News are reporting about him, has the media starting to suffer from mass hysteria? This is completely ridiculous.

Remember the guy in the red shirt asking a neutral question in the second debate and got a short internet fame? The New York Times Politics section. https://archive.is/Q9KQD

Reddit doesn't have the best of reputation, but sometimes some good arguments seep through. Beggars can't be choosers and all that.

I've been looking for some good debate/discussions using the socratic method, and here you are providing them by the ten-fold. Kudos!

I love how the very researcher you invoke in support of your argument basically disses the hell out of your position: "Curbing the demographic trend" is truly the only final feasible solution to the problem, indeed. That's just his opinion, he doesn't even decribe social solidarity by diversity even would work. Well, the problem is, your opinion is also an opinion (one which, incidentally, seems to be rooted in an incredibly poor understanding of history and philosophical principles that have been universally viewed as preposterous in academical circles for centuries). While a general sentiment of anti-intellectualism seems to be on the rise, I, for one, would rather trust the word of a guy who's been studying the subject most of his life over some rando on the internet. The study says otherwise, feel free to provide a study or an argument that says that demographic diversification/heterogeneity is an advantage for social cohesion for a nation, and how, anytime you want. Besides, why should I or anyone else here care on whose opinion you trust more? Interesting how you skipped point 1 and 3 as they build up to the whole picture of the decline. You're putting words in my mouth. I never claimed heterogeneity is advantageous for social cohesion. I pointed out that the very researcher you cite to support your idiocy believes that the answer doesn't lie in embracing "ahistorical and ethnocentric conservatism". As for skipping points, I think it's probably for the better if we don't touch your rant on how Hillary "has no signs of strength, vitality and lucidity", as it is exactly the kind of "feelz before realz" thinking you're keen to decry as irrational when it suits you. There is a reason the halo effect (and its inverse, charmingly named "the horns effect", as I've learned recently) is acknowledged as a form of cognitive bias, not "a reliable method by which we should be selecting our leaders". The part where you ruminate on how "leadership reflects the currents of the masses", while at the same time managing to paint "virtuous" leaders as exemplars without whom society inevitably falls into decline is just utterly incoherent, which is kind of an impressive feat, given that you're practically ripping off Plato and Confucius here, who might have had terrible ideas, but at least managed to phrase those in a not completely self-contradictory fashion. Your third point has a glimmer of rational thought in it (TPP is bad news), but then once again you descend into howling insanity with "certain groups climb the ladder faster due to having better inner cohesion" (gee whiz, and here I thought having wealth and connections was the fast-track to the top, but no, apparently any group with any socio-economic background can just saunter right there if they just have enough inner cohesion!), and then you top it off with...whatever you're trying to get at with the bit about armed uprisings of people who feel the system is rigged against them. At this point, I can't even follow. Oh, you just quoted him without phrasing something of your own? Fair enough. Suffice to say, i am right in my opinion and he is wrong in his opinion and his study ractifies that. You misinterpret what i said about Clinton, it's a symbiotic relationship between leaders and the people who follow them. If society is heading towards further degeneracy and the leaders are, willfully or not, nurturing those bad impulses, it will spiral down and the examples i mentioned manifest in those. Empty platitudes, feel goods, insincerity is not something only observed because of a certain cognitive bias, unless of you think of course that there's no objective values, then we will just end the discussion here. The same way, a society with strong sense of virtues and to uphold them will increase the probability of the next Aurelius to step up, but first it requires someone to change the pendelum into the right direction, and that's where Trump comes into the picture. He is but a mere echo of anything truly great or of any higher principle, but his strength is in his being, which will hopefully pull down the curtain and make sure that apathy will not be the guiding principle of the following generation. There is simply no one else at the moment. As for the last point, different groups of people have strong inner cohesion compared to others and such will help each other accelerate in society through different degrees of nepotism was just one of the manys symptoms from capital being global and labour local. The bolded part is what is important as the ability for companies to have more power than the citizenry in a country was omitted as that goes without saying and i wanted to highlight other issues that goes with it. Pro-tip: if you're failing to understand the point someone is making in the future, you can always ask to clarify.

george bush actual pushed Congress to increase the nasa budget and encouraged nasa to get us back to the moon, unmanned and manned, with target dates which have already elapsed. return to moon were a reasonable first step to going to mars. HA! Good Fun! Oh, i do not fault him for doing that. It actually deserves praise in itself. I just find it interesting that once again it gets pushed to the limelight by the end of the second term by the next president. Perhaps it is not a sexy agenda during election times.

George Bush the younger also made the claim that it is time to colonize Mars. It must be a second term thing.

You comparing the crash of the Brazilian economy to the current structures of the US economy? How are they similar if you dont mind sharing? How do you figure that? This has nothing to do with the price of oil or the boom-bust cycle of Wall Street. It has to do with the forces currently moving through society. 1. Hillary and her possible upcoming administration have no signs of strength, vitality or lucidity. They exort blandness, banality, pettiness and deceptiveness. You could see it in how the inner dealings were done against Sanders, you can see it in the empty words and platitudes she use in the debates and the low energy of her supporters. Humans are hierarchical and the the leadership reflects the currents of the masses. If the leadership lack principles higher than themselves to look up upon or work against the current virtues in place, indirectly or directly, only decline can follow in society. 2. There is little interest in curbing the current demographical trend in Hillary's camp. I do not even need to point to history like the empires of old, to make it clear out that no majority is destabilising (just look at Putham's study if you're really interested http://archive.boston.com/news/globe/ideas/articles/2007/08/05/the_downside_of_diversity/) as it makes cohesion less probable. If the social cohesion goes for the worse, then so goes the trust in public institutions and corruption will be become a serious issue. 3. There's little interest among Team Hillary in averting trade deals like TPP or H-1B and similar visas, where both effectively undermines the middle class, which in turn will cause income inequality to rise and social mobility to stifle as capital will always be more global compared to labour. This will create further balkanization of socities where certain groups climb the ladder faster than others as they have better inner cohesion than others. This sense of injustice of the system being rigged against ones favour will increase the possibility of social decay and even foster militant uprisings at smaller scales at first. So three different vectors of **** colluding with each other to create an even bigger pile of ****. It will not happen over night, but a slow decline that has been in motion from before and will continue with Hillary. That's why the comparison with Brazil is applicable in terms of societal regression.
