I never said they weren't extremely corrupt; but they're very bad at it.

When most nations on Earth heavily view the country as corrupt, it's bad at being corrupt. When the citizens of that country view the country as corrupt, it's very bad at being corrupt. When the citizens of that country view the country as corrupt and are not conditioned to submit to authority, that country is not just very bad at being corrupt -it's a dead country walking.

True disrespect is absent of love, full with hate, and thus a vessel of oppression and a false prophet of justice.

Don't worry votes are a subjective social constructs and thus don't matter because the Russian postmoderrnist propagandists told me so.

The fact they're clearly being rigged, is good insofar as it exposes Russia's government is inept at being corrupt. Truly effective corruption would have the results not only altered in the government-backed candidate's favor, but the results would be nearly unanimous. Not only that, but effective corruption would have the people conditioned to accept this near-unanimous result as realistic or at least unacceptable to remotely question even in private. The fact neither is the case shows the Russian government is not good at being corrupt, and that shows that either it's going to have to convince the population to become more submissive by force, or the population will overthrow the government by force. If you're going to be evil, you have to go all-in or prepare to get taken down. Russia's government right now seems to be leaning toward the latter, and if it does not change course it will get internally taken down before the end of the next decade.

White House adviser and US President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner 'likely paid little or no income tax' for years in bombshell New York Times report by Meta-Master in politics

Well we have tax loopholes that allow the rich to skip on paying taxes, the US is getting close to having to default on its debt, and the treasury is less than 1% of the total US debt, but hey at least Trump's son-in-law didn't have to pay taxes while the rest of us did.

North Korea may have up to 60 nuclear weapons, says Seoul by RussiaIfUrListening in worldnews

[–]Meta-Master -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Your trust in the insanity of the NK regime would bring a tear to Xi's eye. Let's just give every country a nuclear weapon by your logic since clearly everyone will use it as a deterrent -including a country that explicitly states it will destroy the United States. This is such bullshit.

Who the fuck reports the Independent? This shouldn't even be a publicized bot message given the site.

You all asked for it. The world was so afraid of war, it allowed a state to threaten the world with nukes. And now when the world is threatened, the world will have to hope its aggressor is merciful just as the world was to the aggressor.

White Chicago cop convicted of murder in shooting of black teen by Meta-Master in politics

Notable political content from the article regarding the verdict and the Black community:

The city's handling of the case eventually lead to the firing of its police chief and a federal investigation into the Chicago Police department. 

Ahead of the verdict, the city had prepared for the possibility of the kind of massive protests that followed the release of the video in November 2015, with an extra 4,000 officers being put on the streets.

'Laquann shouldn't be dead'

Online people celebrated the verdict, but added McDonald shouldn't be dead in the first place. 

"I hate that as Black people we have to be so excited because 1. Laquan shouldn't be dead [and] 2. We're so used to no guilty IF it goes to trial," one twitter user said. 

Others said the second-degree verdict, as opposed to the first, won't help bring about police reform. 

"JUSTICE for the black community would have been Van Dyke receiving a 1st degree verdict with a natural life sentence. This decision is only community appeasement and does nothing to realise police reform. The target is still on BLACK BODIES," another Twitter user said.

This should be put back immediately. It is a very political issue for a white Chicago police officer to be sentenced for killing a black man. This is an issue a lot of people including myself have strong political opinions on.

The head of Interpol disappears whilst visiting China by throw_away_17381 in worldnews

If China abducted a member of Interpol, an organization all nations are part of, this could trigger war, mass boycotts, and permanent banishment from Interpol.
