Nothing new about it, you just didn't notice it until now, because your ox got gored. Trump is making truth cool again, among other things. http://thefederalist.com/2016/11/11/donald-trump-just-made-10-things-cool/ Edit: Also watch true masters of false narrative at work: http://thefederalist.com/2016/05/09/ben-rhodes-reveals-how-obama-duped-america-into-the-dangerous-iran-deal/ Sorry WOD snookims but you were equally fooled by Trump, you dropped your support for him because of sustained daily criticism, though misplaced, and then finally the sexism incident made you say " okay this is too much even for me " We supported your unexpected SJ sympathies but .....we were wrong in this case, its rare but it happens even to us You should have stuck by Trump, imagine the moral high gound you would have had on this forum? This would have been one of those almost inexplicable times where if you wanted you could REALLY have gloated because sometimes I think the guys do tease you a little and keep taking what you say literally -
You misunderstand me young grasshopper, I dont think I was wrong.....the ideological objective of a world where we dont practice bigotry and respect human rights can never be wrong? "Post Truth " is more for you guys to understand how you have been manipulated ....consider this a form of catharsis and introspection ...its constructive

As usual your insights are 100 % accurate What you describing is " post-truth " , its real and influenced many people in the USA to vote based on emotion and not rational thought. The good news is this disturbing trend should pass as civil society addresses this unexpected dynamic....remember its important people like us who believe in the objective facts continue to do this and not think " post truth " is the new reality of the world https://www.theguardian.com/books/2016/nov/15/post-truth-named-word-of-the-year-by-oxford-dictionaries https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/posttruth

Guys come on.....lets be realistic about the validity of this wall We dont want to stop all those hot Mexican women coming to the USA

Can I ask you a question, do you not believe Putin has numerous reasons to interfere in the elections of various Western countries? His objective is a failure but that doesnt mean they wont interfere

This is the unfortunate outcome sometimes when people feel they cannot be honest about there sexual orientation

Heh. "Islamization starts with a kebab and..." I just noticed how hungry I am, and kebab seems like a wonderful idea. *dials* This may seem extreme but its the unfortunate inevitable outcome from the failure of some members of the Muslim community to integrate or appreciate or respect Western values This is not about the West being " islamophobic " even though some of our East European friends may seem to have historical bias towards Muslims this is about a simple dynamic " if you immigrate to Western countries you accept there values " The way we have been trying to integrate all migrants has been well meaning but flawed and if we dont address this we risk the rise of right wing populist parties coming to power under spurious pretenses and this will weaken the overall influence of the West and its successful and sustainable ideology

All the time, and our school children pledge allegiance to Islam every morning while one hand is over their heart and the other is over a döner kebab. LK I am glad you have decided to defend Germany, its long overdue IMO but better late than never Germany is a very important foundation of the EU and has achieved much since the dark days of WW2, we should be inspired by much of what Germany has done and how it was able to recreate its identity. But I find a degree of irrational and unreasonable criticism towards Germany from some members For example during the debates around austerity and the PIGS countries I dont remember you supporting Germany ?

I respect the way you and other members from the Scandinavian countries defend and at times debate certain SJ points But its an honest and necessary statement to say " The Islamic world is dealing with a number of serious and violent changes, the most serious being Islamic Extremism like ISIS "

Of course China is not a real enemy but you absolutely right about the hubris of the Chinese and them telling the USA " you cant speak to Taiwan " WTF !!! Who do they think they are? But the USA does have a real and symbiotic economic relationship with China, this trade agreement is very important to both countries so for me I wouldn/t jeopardize it over Taiwan? So let the Chinese shout at the USA for a while...its not a big deal if we honest?
-
You see despite the fact you ignore me you were right in many respects about this, the EU should not have allowed them in after the first batch Nothing wrong with the initial idea but it would have been best to immediately stop the migrations of all immigrants. The cultures are on opposite sides and its not worth integrating because I don't see the real sustainability or value in doing this But you were more gloomy and negative about them but yes it was a mistake and I would correct i it f I could
-
Consider this, even on these forums most of you guys think the media is biased and yet the media is fine So why is it so hard to believe Trump didn't want his core supporters to be influenced by any negative comments so they ignored all media and the only narrative they received was from Trumps Twitter ...this would lead to people that are horribly misinformed
-
This is an accurate view, there is no doubt part of the Trump victory was resentment and irritation from white men at being blamed and accused of various things by people who are vociferously SJ supporters So we need to be honest, yes the whole SJ crusades went too far in the USA and we need to change some things I want to make a separate post to discuss this and share my perspective You have no idea how bad the whole " lets ignore the media ....we know we right " view became About 1 week before the election Trump had convinced the majority of his supporters to ignore all media and not give any interviews So you suddenly had millions of Americans getting NO information except from what Trump told them....it was very concerning Most of them became like Trump zealots ")

http://electionado.com/canvas/1479173071893 Another guy blacksplaining white working class. It's like me writing an essay "the third trimester and what to expect". For a while I considered you a bigot because you said several very offensive things and you didn't seem to understand why what you said was unacceptable But you haven't said anything for a while that was offensive ( calling me names is irrelevant ) so someone spoke to you and I think you doing very well so well done

Renzi had the best interests of Italy in mind, he was trying to restructure the bloated and impotent levels of government bureaucracy Italy is one of the PIGS countries who has not managed there own economy effectively, it gets tiresome and irritating that the old Europe countries seem incapable to make the relevant and necessary guts in government spending and government structure that every other EU country has been able to maintain Italy now will continue with austerity because the Italian parliament refuses really to care about its citizens future

How many people will be at the Xmas party you going to this year? Weren't there 40 or so last year ....its your wife's family right ?

Oh I meant to tell you, our predictions about the USA election and basically getting the outcome completely wrong must not be seen as a reflection on the failure of our views on SJ. I am just using the words "us " to include anyone who supported Hilary because of the view they considered Trump offensive and utterly unpresidential volo said to me on another thread " I was wrong about Clinton ". But I wasnt wrong about Clinton, the word " wrong " actually trivializes the election and the unexpected results. You can use that word if you made a bad call after critical thinking about something But my issues with Trump were not just mine but part of what the majority of people in the USA thought, most Republicans thought Trump would lose Many people I know who are Republican supporters didnt even watch the election because they assumed Clinton would win So what does this tell us? This election was an anomaly and therefore unpredictable because something unprecedented but necessary happened. The data was inconsistent and misleading .... I cant hold myself responsible for that I have already taken some constructive lessons from this

I forgot to actually respond to what you asked ..my bad These elections tomorrow are significant because they will be a benchmark to see how much political support nationalism and right wing politics has in the EU\ So lets say the right wing Austrian party wins and the Italian PM loses ....this will be a huge setback for the future of the EU and will suggest where the French election is going \
