He is so wise.

What an arbitrary distinction given that legal immigrants are in just as much danger from ICE right now, and ICE is completely lawless — first amendment, fourth amendment, violating habeas corpus (a legal principle older than the Magna Carta), masking their identities, not to mention executing people. If the Supreme Court weren’t illegitimate, everyone involved with ICE would be in prison.

China has more billionaires than we do and complete dictatorial control over a population that has zero civil rights.

Also in existence are the Chinese and Indian oligarchies currently oppressing over a billion people. Not to mention fighting over a meaningless dumb border.

Invading the ancestors descendants of wage slaves whose dead imperial overlords drew some maps is almost as dumb as fighting over those maps.

Modern China and India have their own homegrown oligarchies exercising levels of oppression that put the British imperials to shame.

It’s well known that 30% of people are insane. I don’t mean we disagree, I mean they’re psychopathic monsters. Basically polar bears who can drive and use the internet.

I guess everyone should be ethically gooning then.

Plot of the novel I am almost done writing.

I can even guess why it went down among democrats. A lot of socialists probably started reporting themselves as independents after what the establishment did.

The results don't mean anything because they asked the participants to apply their own understanding to the terms. What the fuck does that do?

It literally tells us their own perception of the terms. The information you’re demanding is different, and there’s an obvious and interesting discrepancy between the favorability of certain policies versus the language used to describe them.

The purpose of polls is not to educate people. It’s to figure out what they think in their dumb misinformed animal minds.

These are different questions. We can survey people about specific policies (which happen to be socialistic) and those rates will be much much higher. But that’s not what we are currently asking.

Are you actually asking? It’s indicative of shifting cultural norms.

People’s attitudes towards a particular word.

If that word loses negative connotation, that’s incredibly telling (for lots of rhetorical and sociopolitical reasons). To be clear, the survey says nothing about the meaning of that word or what it refers to.
