Fake news. Trump is more popular than Obama.

Even Leftist Rag Newsweek forced to admit:

As for the rest of the "people of Earth," you can be sure that his popularity is much lower in much of the rest of the world, compared to other PResiedents.


Duh, foreigners want a weak President that gives them money, helps enact THEIR policies, and doesn't stand in their way.

Germany, for example, doesn't want to stop trading tech and machines to Iran, and doesn't want to be reminded that while they spend luxuriously on migrants, they are shorting their NATO commitments.

LOL How Deranged can one get? The artist of this sketch needs a safety check.

Actually all of the last 9 Presidents, even Jimmy Carter were more popular at this point in their Presidency, than Trump


Did you unsourced and unsupported chart come from CNN? Lolz, dude admit you are being lied to and like it

The most accurate meme on the internet

Why isn't the incredible wealth politicians and their cronies amass front page news? Rhetorical question; they own the newspapers.

Only the left would draw a comparison between temporarily jailing children vs permanently killing fetuses yet believe they "made a funny" by pointing out hypocrisy.

Utter meme failure.

media's fault. It couldn't be that the media actually reflects the collective observations and average opinions of a lot of intelligent citizens.


You believe polls after they were so incredibly wrong about the last presidential election?

The only poll that actually matters is the voting booth.

It couldn't be that the election of Trump actually reflects the collective observations and average opinions of a lot of intelligent citizens. Or could it be?

You missed the obvious message:

Krugman before 2016 Election: "Ignore the Debt Scolds"
Krugman after 2016 Election: "Muh Deficits"

The analogy between human races and breeds of dog is in fact quite accurate. It's even an understatement of the reality.

The different breeds of dogs definitely have different physical and mental characteristics. No one would seriously deny this.

Yet to call attention to the fact that humans also come in different breeds is met with outrage and denial.

Dog breeds have been separate for less than 50,000 years. But the differences are considerable.

Human races have been separate for 100,000 years at least, but we are supposed to pretend that the differences do not exist.

There are people in the Andaman Islands who have been isolated from the rest of humanity for 50,000 years themselves. And this is just one small example.

It is the left which denies science, not the right.

Racism would be the denial of rights on the basis of race. I would never advocate that. But race does exist. It is real.
4331   HeadSet   2020 Jan 3, 4:59pm  

But race does exist. It is real.

True, but we are all individuals and race is but one attribute of any distinct human. A person still has unique features (IQ, sex, interests), regardless of which extended family that person shares skin color and bone structure with.
4332   FortwayeAsFuckJoeBiden   2020 Jan 3, 6:42pm  

What makes racism wrong? Philosophical question.

Forgetting about arguing this for now (although you're wrong), what I would like to know is this.

So you don't think that this assertion on it's own is not racist ?

How do you define racism ?
4333   CBOEtrader   2020 Jan 3, 7:36pm  

If you're goal is to help people, cultural vs genetic is core to the discussion.

Todays PC cult of diversity would NEVER allow scientific, helpful research on such a topic and you know it.

The big problem, is that the left today ALSO wants every to accept that differences of outcomes in life are signs of racism from white people. This is itself racist as fuck, but the left seems cool with it.

Studies which identify the racial and cultural differences in aptitude would be called tools of white supremacy or something equally as cartoonish.

Therefore memes like Patrick's are important to remind people that the PC cult of diversity is tyrannical, wrong, and standing in the way of societal progress.

You are talking about supremacy of “one better than other”. I’m not talking about that. I see that every time economy downturns people get into groups of like looking. Blacks only hang with blacks, Mexican with Mexican, etc... basic racism is survival instinct. And all the inclusivity and presence that everyone is sane is unnatural. You still haven’t answered what makes racism morally wrong.

marcus says
:
Another thing you might want to realize is that accepting race as a mostly a social and cultural construct, but that differences in intelligence , character, ethics, empathy and many other attributes vary within each race FAR FAR more than they might between races on avg, if they even do, is good for white people as they become a minority.

Perpetuating the idea that some races are better than others is not in anyone's best interest. The reasons for this should be obvious, even if you can not imagine yourself as a member of the oppressed group.

Meritocracy should be supported independent of race so that they are not ever conflated as being interdependent.

What if differences in outcome are partially the result of racism ? That's not racist to believe that. Racial oppression is natural - we know that.


Its racist if you think the world power system is a vast male white supremacist conspiracy. This is repackaged anti-semitism. Replace Jewry w straight white males and you wouldnt know the difference.

I've only ever witnessed race being an asset to the underachieving races. You are free to believe whatever you want, but I doubt you will find real world evidence to suggest racism, especially white racism against blacks. It's not a thing here

Better for us all to take race out of it. This is why I said this:

This is exactly what every trump supporter wants. The mainstream left would label you a nazi for suggesting to "take race out of it"
4337   Hircus   2020 Jan 3, 8:58pm  

The left could never leave race out of it. All of their identity politics would instantly cease to exist.

Who would they blame if they couldn't blame white people?

They tried this a long time ago. Certain problems were blamed on a lack of equality, and there were genuine, large equality shortcomings back then. Large improvements to equality were made, and certain things improved, yet other things stubbornly didn't. This is when they realized they needed to abruptly change course before they had no more excuses remaining, and so they started the grand lie which blames all of societies ills on white people and their "raycism", ensuring that they had a durable scapegoat to blame all future failures and shortcomings on.

that's an oversimplification


Yes, but a high-fidelity one.

Endless iterations of "X is holding them back! . No, um, shit ... actually Y is actually holding them backl!!!"

I'm glad to see society trying to bring all of it's parts up together, but it should be done legitimately. Extravagant lies that appeal to people's racism, by stoking contempt and jealousy of white success is sure as hell a good way to make white people resentful, while misleading others away from their true problems. Knowing the truth gives you a chance to improve, while being told a lie stifles your efforts.

"lets fight racism by making people racist towards white people!!"

I think native Americans are kinda off topic. And you didn't explicitly say it, but my magic crystal ball tells me that you brought it up so that you could attempt to make white people look bad via more anti-white racial line drawing. I think that's pretty lame. I don't share you implied "racist reality". Relations between such extremely different cultures are fragile, and escalate quickly like a fire in a pile of leaves. The back and forth escalation on the frontier was determined by the actions of few people on each side, and misunderstandings of a lot of ppl on each side, which makes each group distrust the other side. Word spread after each conflict to distant people on each side, who then get 10th-hand info filled with embellishments and inaccuracies, making both sides do the exact same thing - hate the other side. Now, all future interactions between those groups are loaded with gunpowder, ready to go off, and they do. The same result would likely have happened even if 99.9% of the settlers were peaceful, because that 1/1000 nutjob killer in every group decided to kill an indian or a white, and its just too hard to recover from that. Eventually, the indians obviously succumbed to the superior might of the frontiersmen.

Peace was difficult between these groups, and the outcome was mostly due to circumstances and the realities of violent human nature in such a precarious situation. Humans just have a strong ingroup / outgroup bias. My point being, if you took other groups, such as hispanics, or blacks, or asians, and substituted them for the white settlers, you'd have probably gotten a very similar result, if not worse. It's not like the indians treated each other well lol. Didn't they enslave other tribes, brutally scalping the shit out of each other?? For THOUSANDS of years??? White culture arrived are DID make earnest attempts at peace with them. i'm tired of hearing characterizations that paint the indians as peacful nature lovers, and the whites as violent invaders. neither were true.

I think you should examine your anti white bias.
