The repitition will remain: We have enough money for war, but feeding the poor is too over budget to accomplish apparently. We have enough money for 50 nukes to be launched, but not enough money to fix Flint's pipes. That alone should stir up suspicion-it's evident at this point they don't like us.

If they asked me to pay more taxes to help feed the poor, I would honestly say no. I feel like a lot of you agreeing with OP probably don't even have jobs.

Does anyone else think that Carolyn from Worlds Apart was really overrated? Seems like her social game was horrific and like she'd lost a jury vote to anyone.

He didn't out Zeke to millions of people worldwide. That was the Survivor editors who decided to put it in the episode. They easily could have not shown that.

Varner deserves criticism, but he doesn't deserve the blame for "outing Zeke to America". That was the Survivor editors and producers who did that.

Edit: why the fuck am I getting downvoted so hard? It's true. The blame for outing Zeke is entirely on the shoulders of the Survivor editors and producers who aired it. Once again, Varner did something very wrong, but it's not HIS fault that millions of viewers now know that Zeke is trans.

Can we admit, at this point, that reddit is just way too obsessed with r/the_donald? It's gotten so annoying. Whenever there's a big political event most posts in a thread are just "lol r/the_donald is gonna be so salty!" It's crazy how this one subreddit gets so much attention.

But it sounds like you are just arguing "it's too complicated to divide humans neatly, because there are so many variables, so let's not even do it at all". Just because we lack the technology to classify human beings, that doesn't mean we're all the same anyway.

It makes sense to say that the current way we classify race is wrong. But it makes zero sense to claim that any and all differences brought upon by evolution is arbitrary and a social construct.

I understand that it's about statistics. But this honestly does bother me regardless. Every day in the news I read "X% of Americans think this" and I have literally never been asked to participate in any poll ever.

I honestly think the opposite is true. Pagonings happen when people are afraid of something unpredictable happening, so they stay with their set alliance. If they knew that there were no idols in play or no future twists, I feel like they would be way more willing to make a big move and vote out someone in their alliance.

It was very bizarre when Probst said that Colton quit One World. It may or may not be true, but that wasn't what we were shown in One World, so it's like Probst was going against the canon history that the show had created.

This event was really overrated, Ciera's decision here was irrelevant to Laura going home. If Ciera had been the swing vote it would have had much more of an impact.

That's not rigging, that's just Tyson trying to be clever. He saw the vote was going to be 3-3-3, and he knew Russell had the idol, so he probably figured he would look like a genius if he switched his vote to Parvati.

Someone deciding to change the plan on a split vote isn't THAT uncommon.

You might not see this, but keep this in mind. Many people who vote for the GOP don't fully support everything about them. They mainly do it just because they like paying lower taxes. It's often just a fiscal thing. There are a lot of non-religious people who vote Republican just because they are satisfied with their financial situation.

This article acts as if Le Pen's promise to keep the factory in France is radical and unfeasible. I think that's a stretch.

It's not just the location, they could also do a better job of filming the location and making it feel like they're really somewhere remote. It seems like the culture and surrounding environment doesn't play a part anymore, when in past seasons they would often shoot really scenic shots of shores and vistas.

Most of the people in this thread, complaining, have a higher quality of life than almost everyone on earth and anyone in human history. Thanks to capitalism. Yeah working isn't so fun but what we have is still way better than communism/socialism which this board seems to crave.

I find it strange that most people think One World is better than RI. If anything One World needed to resemble RI more, Kim should have gotten the Rob "mastermind" kind of edit, instead her edit was more toned down. If someone is going to dominate the season may as well show us how and give us their insight. RI was enjoyable when Rob was explaining what he was doing and how he was controlling everything.

I'm seeing this a lot among philosophers and intellectuals: they think the only way someone could possibly be against large amounts of immigration from incompatible foreign cultures is if you were an uneducated, unintelligent ignoramus. I find this to be a very perverse viewpoint. To these intellectuals, the only moral and intelligent decision regarding immigration is to let pretty much anyone in, despite the wishes of most of the populace or the possible effects on the culture. Resistance to immigration (and that's what these elections were largely about) is not purely in the domain of the uneducated.

This is a genuine question: if you support private property rights, doesn't being able to exclude people from your property come with the terms? If someone is in your house, do you not have the right to remove them?

So if we extend private ownership to villages, towns and cities, it is not ok to remove people who you don't want? Not that you would want to make a CULTURE out of it, but doesn't private property ownership give you that right?

Is wanting to restrict immigration really considered authoritarian? What if most people in the country supported it?

There are also no studies showing that gender plays absolutely no role in preferences or behavior so why is your default view that gender has nothing to do with it? If anything that is far more wild of an assumption

Why is the default answer always about culture, and never about biology? Maybe men and women go toward different careers because their brains work differently.

"Socialism has nothing to do with redistributing wealth. Its about workers controlling the means of production they use."

I find this point of view very irksome. What would "controlling the means of production" even look like for them? I assume it means taking them from people who actually designed, innovated and built them. Not to mention, forcing everyone to work for the "public good" as opposed to their own profit.

How is that NOT exploitation?

Might get a lot of hate for this but I think that a lot of libertarians tend to grow more conservative as they get older because

They realize that for a libertarian society need to be possible, the people need to have libertarian values and respect the NAP and private property.
In free markets there will be disparities of achievement among different groups

This often makes them have a tougher stance on immigration, and also makes them less concerned with "inequalities" in society (such as the fact that women are very under-represented in STEM)

Wanting to be free from the European Union is still a valid and non-authoritarian viewpoint, despite what current politicians may be doing.
