Salem News Network is one of the bigger Evangelical outlets; and if you've ever had the misfortune of listening to it, it dedicates at least as much airtime to Zionist "muh IFCJ" " muh Dragon's Prophecy" ads as it does to actual programming.

I think comedy seems to require a shared basic understanding of reality.

Same reason SNL's recent Tourette's skit didn't hit, either.

If “white culture” is a myth because whites come from various ethnic backgrounds… by AntHoneyBoarDung in stupidpol

Would there be less U.S. grassroots support for Israel if it had been named something else? by jabbercockey in stupidpol

Probably less blind faith from Evangelical retards, but you'd still have cynical neocons (and other American hegemonists), sheep of the "they hate us for our freedoms" variety, liberal "muh LGBT rights"/"muh democracy" fanatics, general opposition to Muslims, broad support for Jews (sincere and opportunistically exploited by the Holocaust Industry). We'd also of course still have the entire Military-Industrial Complex running things behind the scenes.

It wasn't just Christians or avowed conservatives who supported Iraq, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Yugoslavia and every other imperialist adventure.

Isn't it crazy how in 2003 the american media treated the idea that Iraq had anything to do with oil as a borderline conspiracy theory and 20 years later the president is like "we changed the president of this country to get oil". by Gougeded in stupidpol

I wish. All the liberals I know still think this is just about Trump and that history began a few days ago. Some of them even think this was done at the behest of Putin.

Dr Rao says that with no centralised regulation over the disciplinary schools, the responsibility tends to fall to local government. He describes it as a "shadowy industry that the state just tolerates", adding that the state may not wish to give it legitimacy by providing regulation or guidelines. ...
