So, here’s a nice canary in the coal mine.
Trump officials know that their policies are going to push people over the edge, as a heavily armed and pissed off population becomes hungry and desperate, so they’re hiding behind military police.

This is a video of Trump at the U.S. Open.
Notice how he ogles the girls, licks his lips, and does a double take like a creepy predator.

Those who justify the exploitation and slaughter of non-human animals because they’re supposedly less intelligent than us may find themselves reevaluating their position once AI achieves singularity.

There’s a reason that this guy doesn’t allow comments. His entire position is predicated upon logical fallacies, and he’s incapable of defending his views from even the slightest bit of scrutiny.
You’re dismissed.

We further see evidence of the inherent bias of a bad faith actor by trying to ascribe a completely made up rationale to continue passive aggressive and wildly rude behavior because one simply doesn’t want to engage with nonsense.
This display of antagonistic behavior is the point.

According to this guy’s “reasoning,” if it can even be called that, past U.S. history and governmental policy means that the “average white person” living today doesn’t care about policy and instead cares only about “hate” and “protection from the consequences of their decisions based on hate.”

As I said earlier, bad faith actors do not want knowledge or answers to their questions. If they did, they would just go find it, as this is the age of information.
As this person keeps demonstrating, they want to debate their biases about history, not history itself.
B/c history is clear.

To suppose that past U.S. governmental policy therefore means that “the average white person” living today “does not care about policy, democracy or even just a fair society” commits composition/division, affirming the consequent, hasty generalization, straw man, and post hoc fallacies.

As predicted, bad faith actors will continue engaging in shallow and petty manipulative tactics in attempt to get one to engage with their antics.
They will pretend history and scholarship of history in the US does not exist to feign ignorance.
This behavior will continue indefinitely.

This is what people that engage in bad faith do.
They don’t seek out answers to their basic questions from the literal thousands of sources available.
They antagonize and moralize because they are annoyed when their nonsense isn’t entertained.
Expect further passive aggressive and rude behavior

It’s not a bad-faith question, though. Rather than speculating about my psychology and intent, why don’t you instead answer the question that was posed to you?

This is called a bad faith question.
This person doesn’t want an answer, because US history definitively answers this.
This person wants to waste time by ‘arguing’ about their biases of US history and their subjective perceptions of it.

You have to understand.
The average white person does not care about policy, democracy or even just a fair society.
They care about two things.
1. Hate and 2. protection from the consequences of their decisions based on hate.
Appealing to their humanity and reason is pointless.

Despite what MAGA claims (in obvious ad hoc rescue attempts), a devalued USD will not significantly bring back jobs. Corporations generate far too much profit by exploiting sweatshop laborers who will work for $5 per day to reshore jobs in the U.S. Those jobs are gone.
