and a bunch of people died?
what was it...
that the koraan equals peace?
Oh, 9/11, that's right.
perhaps two things can't be evil at the same time, so we either need to pick white supremacy OR islam
Of course, because the world is simply opressors and opressed, it's not like humanity is a mixed bag.
It's not like every "group" has it's degenerates. That'd be too hard.
oppress*
I'mma go out on a limb here and say that most terrorist attacks committed in arab muslim countries were... committed by arab muslims *WOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAH*

"Americans should reserve their rage for Republicans, who have spent years targeting the I.R.S. for political gain. Since 2010, Congress has cut the agency’s budget by nearly $1 billion, or 18 percent, adjusted for inflation, as the I.R.S. processes about 10 million more tax returns. Its work force has been whacked by 21,000, ..."
let's just _forget_ the political oppression conveniently, shall we
also, they still then presumably have a budget of around 4 billion, which is what? 12 million _per citizen_ per year?
that sounds ludicrous
Annual budget $11.4 billion (2015)
says wikipedia
so their budget is $35 per citizen
"The agency apologized for its improper audits, and a Justice Department investigation found mismanagement but no evidence of a crime. Though the audits occurred before Mr. Koskinen came aboard, Republicans clamored for him to be impeached, an action not taken against an administration official besides the president since the 1870s."
I don't understand this reasoning - is the simple fact that the tool hasn't been used in 100+ years an argument for not using it?
"The ideas of economists and political philosophers, both when they are right and when they are wrong are more powerful than is commonly understood. Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influence, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist. Madmen in authority, who hear voices in the air, are distilling their frenzy from some academic scribbler of a few years back.", quote from John Maynard Keynes' book
and then the article above starts with "This is not a theory of history likely to find many supporters today."
how can he just assert that out of thin air
I certainly support it
"Trumpism, we are often told, represents the end of conservativism as a movement guided by ideas and intellectuals"
I've never been told that
so, that's the start of this article - the premise, and the article is a ~35 minute read according to my software
"Throughout the early 20th century, eugenics would become mainstream thinking, leading to abuses like forcible sterilization and the entire Nazi movement." <:what:382980756139409409>
I mean there's no doubt that the nazis used eugenics from the very start of their political reign, but is it fair to say that the whole concept of nazism, or the ensuing regime, would not exist if not for the concept of eugenics?
I'd say it's a ludicrous statement, hitler didn't write his books until after being imprisoned for the failed coup, and it was a direct result of the treaty of versailles
LUUL
that's one thing dave rubin gets right, he doesn't have a 40 second intro with crappy music
