No

I mean like in Hong Kong

Iran

Etc

Yup

How do we best define a populist?

Someone who just says what everyone wants to hear?

Yup

Trump probably falls into that category

What I really hate tbh

I'm more of a centrist tbh

But for the past few years I've voted for the conservatives in the UK

If you try to engage with the left

They immediately say you're wrong without listening

Paint you as racist, inward looking etc

The left at times is more fascist than the right

Yup

I hate it when racism on the left is ignored

Yep

Of course

She is a puppet IMO

Look at that video

That is not propaganda

Those are two clips

One of which is her addressing the UN conference in New York a few months back

The other is a panel on climate change

You can see how knowledgeable she is on climate change when she isn't sticking to a script lol

I don't need the privileged middle classes lecturing to me

I would much rather listen to the climate scientists

As I'm sure a lot of these activists are distorting what the climate scientists are saying

@!GoldenKingship! Unsurprising, given the Republicans control the Senate.

What do you mean by common sense?

It's pretty clear he was guilty.

Even though nothing would come of the impeachment process.

What's funny as well @Stresbal

He accused Biden of an offence of which he was also guilty

His daughter got a bunch of papers rubber stamped by the Chinese premker

Yup

The trouble as well Vlad

If he gets re elected, the statute of limitations will have expired, and so he cannot be prosecuted as a civilian

@Luger I'll have you know it was a Chinese male

Get your facts right 🙃

Fake n00se

No

😂

I too have mixed feelings

I am half white, half Indian

Well West Indian

My dad doesn't really identify as Indian

Idk

About what you were saying before @Solicitor

With the Democrats ties to slavery

On a kind of similar note

JFK's father made his money from insider trading

So I don't like people putting JFK on a pedestal

On a serious note

I don't like it when kids are brought up to hate a particular side of the left right spectrum

Teach them to be critical thinkers

Not visceral thinkers

Over here in the UK

They had an adult education review in 1917 where their main conclusion was that better educating the general public was vital in preventing them from being brainwashed by populist rhetoric

If you can excuse the use of brainwashing as a term

I neither nib nor nob

Maybe he is a literal sleeper agent @Deleted User

He fell asleep and didn't realise the USSR had been dissolved

I'm not politically active Sophia

I am politically aware

I keep abreast of current developments

But I don't canvass or anything

No.

I have a full time job

Plus church

I'm not that religious though

I mostly attend church because my mother does

I help out with church activities and so on

I'm more agnostic

Church of England

So Anglican

Like don't get me wrong

Christianity has done many great things

But then I think of the crusades

Protestant and Catholic conflict

Cult like leaders

@Deleted User Why does the Vatican need its own bank?

Since you were raised Catholic

For me that's a good reason to not like the Catholic faith

Oh yeah

But it's still glaring inequality

@Stresbal I am of the opinion that, where possible, do vote. Even if you feel as though your vote won't make a difference or the overall process is rigged.

As there are many countries where they're either under dictatorships, opposition leaders are imprisoned, or killed

Yup @Puerto Rican Nelson

Well even in developed countries human rights can not be fully developed @Puerto Rican Nelson

Like if you look at how we treat the disabled

You realise that Obama had to deal with the fucking economic crash?

Who names their kid Virgil though?

You realise that house building has gotten more expensive in the US

Due to the China tariffs

That includes building materials like timber which are used in framing
