how policy is adopted in reference to perceived reality and how science informs perceived reality

2019-08-04 20:50:46 UTC  

That I do agree with.

2019-08-04 20:51:19 UTC  

If I disagreed with that earlier, I don't recall why.

2019-08-04 20:51:47 UTC  

I am sorry, bit fuzzy in the brain.

2019-08-04 20:51:54 UTC  

lol np

2019-08-04 21:11:05 UTC  

Ah, I see where we went wrong. I made the remark that policy is based on desire, while I should have said policy is a course of action meant to reach a desired outcome.

2019-08-04 21:11:21 UTC  

Which sparked most of the discussion following.

hello, does anyone want to talk about protests and democracy? My point: protests do not lead to "more" democracy.

2019-08-05 19:17:34 UTC  

Protests are in their nature democratic though.

2019-08-05 19:22:33 UTC  

I would say democracy is bad because the 51% can take away the rights of the 49%

2019-08-05 19:33:49 UTC  

That could happen regardless from there being a democratic system in place.

2019-08-05 19:37:04 UTC  

Besides, a minority is more likely to trample over the rights of the (majority of) citizens than any democratic system with regular elections is.

world peace finally happenin! people are figuring out WW2, like the true story. please share! https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/anti-gravity-b52-bombers-won-ww2-ari-asulin/?published=t
i think the thing that did it, when everyone realized trump was going to win in 2020 because the media had been lying about him for over 4 years straight, they realized the same principle might be true for the last 100 years of global warfare. i.e. the victors of WW2 created public schools to teach a false version of their victory. Kinda obvious really

I don’t know what people are going at. America isn’t a democracy. It’s an oligarchy

2019-08-06 03:46:05 UTC  

its still a democracy by definition, i guess by oligarchy you mean in the form of a plutocracy?

2019-08-06 03:46:43 UTC  

And 4 years about lying about Trump? You mean saying how his politics is? Divisive and unpresidential? I don’t know if you haven’t noticed but, his rhetoric aside from economic issues are all about race. From the 2020 census, to dreamers, to illegal immigration, to the wall

2019-08-06 03:47:10 UTC  

His rhetoric is encompassed of racial divisions and old tropes dating back to the Alien and Sedition Acts enacted under John Adams

2019-08-06 03:47:47 UTC  

His economics are faulty as shown during the time of Regan. The deficit exploded as well as the national debt

2019-08-06 03:47:56 UTC  

racial division are natural and inherent, the rise in racial interest was already there under Obama and simply continued under Trump

2019-08-06 03:47:59 UTC  

All for the sake of “supply and demand economics”

2019-08-06 03:48:03 UTC  

who exactly are you replying to?

2019-08-06 03:48:17 UTC  

Oh not to you @protricity

2019-08-06 03:48:24 UTC  

And yes it’s an oligarchy

2019-08-06 03:48:27 UTC  

it seems like this a copy & paste youtube or reddit comment but not well informed

2019-08-06 03:48:42 UTC  

I’m typing this as I’m saying this

2019-08-06 03:48:56 UTC  

And Obama never enacted racial policies.

2019-08-06 03:49:06 UTC  

His policies weren’t inherently racial.

2019-08-06 03:49:06 UTC  

"the deficit exploded as well as national debt"

2019-08-06 03:49:15 UTC  

It did.

2019-08-06 03:49:16 UTC  

under reagan? no

2019-08-06 03:49:20 UTC  

under bush, yes

2019-08-06 03:49:23 UTC  

Trumponomics as well as Regan

2019-08-06 03:49:30 UTC  

Are Trickle down economics

2019-08-06 03:49:33 UTC  

under trump, it follows a pattern

2019-08-06 03:49:46 UTC  

but that pattern was already there

2019-08-06 03:49:49 UTC  

Under Regan the National Debt and Deficit increased.
