The imbalance is definitely towards authoritarianism

Socialism is authoritarianism. I'm not going to elect fucking Stalin just because Congress would try to reign him in. Comey's point is to not alienate moderates by choosing extreme candidates, regardless of if their agenda is going to be too tough to push.

Yeah, those Nordic countries are super authoritarian alright.

Is there a major socialist uprising that I'm unaware of?

Now let's vote for this wealthy businessman who definitely won't screw us over!"

guy made bad jokes hella years ago so he gets fired from a majorly successful franchise now lol jesus christ humanity is doomed

He's probably going to get Black Listed from work in Hollywood as well.

His Hollywood career is effectively over.

Same with any other victim of the #MeToo movement.

He'll be fine, just like all the other guys who didn't commit crimes like Harvey Weinstein.

Last I checked rape and sexual assault are crimes.

I mean the ones who don't have years/decades of sexual assault allegations. Dudes like Casey Affleck, Michael Douglas, and James Franco are still getting work.

He strikes me as a conservative who, while not as crazy far-right as other prominent conservative writers and politicians, is out of touch with reality and thinks he's smarter than he really is. I was watching him on Bill Maher's show a few weeks ago, and I had an appropriate comeback for just about everything he said.

I'm pretty pissed that it was Trump supporters of all people to bring these back up again and get him fired, but Gunn really should've deleted these as soon as Disney hired him. Or at least the last time people were bringing these tweets up.

Tough choice. On the one hand, I've lived in Florida my entire life. On the other hand, I'm already planning to move to California.

That can't be true. I thought the billionaire real-estate mogul would give a voice to the working class.

The Vanilluxe and Garbordor lines get too much hate.

A) Of course there were gonna be ice cream Ice-type Pokemon eventually. At least Vanillite is cute.

B) Trubbish and Garbordor are literally piles of trash. I can't fault a Pokemon's design for doing exactly what it set out to do.

Disagree. People (especially Republicans in Congress) are under-reacting.

there is no way to overreact with this, apporate action would be impeaching him.

Seriously. We need better politicians.

It's a little mysterious how this hatred of fat people on CE almost only rears its ugly head when the celebrity happens to be a woman. :thinking:

CE hates women. they make that obvious almost daily

This topic has nothing to do with gender and everything with being a fat disgusting slob. Stop trying to make everything about gender issues.

Oh, so it has to do with fat-shaming. Nice. /s

It's one of my favorite shows

Thank you for ruining Snickers for me

What's the problem, Mal? She's saying having low unemployment doesn't tell the whole story and isn't a sign of good economic times, which is correct.

Look at my African-American over here!

Sure, if there was a gun to my head.

Or even if there wasn't.

I'm not a troll

I support Trump

Pick one

Lol ok keep on thinking all Trump supporters are trolls and Russian bots if you want to lose again in 2020

If y'all still want to vote for Trump in 2020 with everything that's he done, then go right ahead. Don't let me trample on your civil liberties.

I know right?!

We spent the entire first movie thinking Darth Vader betrayed Luke's father, only for next movie to make Vader Luke's father? Completely out of the blue like that??? That's when I knew this franchise wouldn't have legs.

Quit youre whining. No one cares youre gay. You have equal rights now so shut the fuck up.

What a triggered sad person.

You're just mad it's true. You can no longer play the gay card and act like you're some special victim.

I'm mean look at you. You're literally attacking straight people for no fucking reason with a god awful comparison.

Get off the internet and go fuck your boyfriend or something.

Whats wrong? Did one of your students call you gay again?

He went from being a cowardly sanitation worker to being one of the Resistance's staunchest, most reliable fighters. What's not to like?

It doesn't help that she was a center of controversy for Ghost in the Shell casting as an asian woman.

And how their defense for why she should be allowed to do this was pointing to Jeffery Tambor and Transparent

I look at biased family courts, prison sentence differences, and affirmative action as evidence that the pendulum swung in favor of women overall.

Keep in mind who makes and enacts those laws.

It is pretty racist. I can't tell you guys how many times those were the last words young white men ever heard before they were lynched for being white in America.

I can't because it never happened.

Aquaman and Shazam sound like they're being made with the same level of heart that Wonder Woman had, so I'm optimistic.

Oh, and WW84

Currently no one younger than 21, but the older I get, the higher that becomes

I'm beginning to suspect that President Trump isn't on the level

People have been turning their pain into humor for a while now

It sounds like they were protesting ICE showing up at their neighbors house, not them arresting their neighbors for juvenile sex trafficking. The video made it sound like they just found out what the arrests were for.

I don't think defending child rapists out of ignorance is much better than defending child rapists on purpose.

I do lol.

I mean, they're both bad, but one's obviously worse than the other.

I've walked streets in San Francisco..they're being pansies....

I was there last year too. It got smelly at night and there were a lot of homeless people, but yeah it's not that bad.

Anti-white sentiment most certainly HAS NOT risen.

People are more vocally critical of white people, yes. But that's what happens when you can criticize white people without being lynched.

Oh? You're wearing that?

A better question: Why do people who make millions steal from people who are living paycheck-to-paycheck?

Only if it was okay with my girlfriend.

Wait...

I have a bunch of TOS-unfriendly things to say about this.

no, race troll, they just tend to have more resources

Fuck outta here with that first bit

What causes them to have more resources? There has to be something. Hard work, or was it just given to them?

So, money that the parents have was given to them from, their parents(?), and that's why their kids do better than others? It all boils down to money, I guess.

Nah, it's everybody's favorite...IDENTITY POLITICS!

Washington Post

Between 1940 and 1970, something remarkable happened to Asian Americans. Not only did they surpass African Americans in average household earnings, but they also closed the wage gap with whites.

Many people credit this upward mobility to investments in education. But according to a recent study by Brown University economist Nathaniel Hilger, schooling rates among Asian Americans didnt change all that significantly during those three decades. Instead, Hilgers research suggests that Asian Americans started to earn more because their fellow Americans became less racist toward them.

How did that happen? About the same time that Asian Americans were climbing the socioeconomic ladder, they also experienced a major shift in their public image. At the outset of the 20th century, Asian Americans had often been portrayed as threatening, exotic and degenerate. But by the 1950s and 1960s, the idea of the model minority had begun to take root. Newspapers often glorified Asian Americans as industrious, law-abiding citizens who kept their heads down and never complained.

...

The model minority narrative may have started with Asian Americans, but it was quickly co-opted by white politicians who saw it as a tool to win allies in the Cold War. Discrimination was not a good look on the international stage. Embracing Asian Americans provided a powerful means for the United States to proclaim itself a racial democracy and thereby credentialed to assume the leadership of the free world, Wu writes. Stories about Asian American success were turned into propaganda.

By the 1960s, anxieties about the civil right movement caused white Americans to further invest in positive portrayals of Asian Americans. The image of the hard-working Asian became an extremely convenient way to deny the demands of African Americans. As Wu describes in her book, both liberal and conservative politicians pumped up the image of Asian Americans as a way to shift the blame for black poverty. If Asians could find success within the system, politicians asked, why couldnt African Americans?

The insinuation was that hard work along with unwavering faith in the government and liberal democracy as opposed to political protest were the keys to overcoming racial barriers as well as achieving full citizenship, she writes.
