I’ve read it. It has a wide range of insights into how our political process is being subverted by corporate and foreign interests.

It's obviously got the classic Clinton-brand political polish, so if you're looking for the "authentic Clinton" people keep searching for, you'll have to find a time machine and travel back to before she was excoriated for giving a speech on "ecstatic modes of living" or something and turned into Punished Hilldog. Aside from that, however, it's not too bad. It was sort of filled with old news when it came out, and nothing was particularly offensive imo, and despite what a lot of people said she did concede that it was her fault too that she lost the election, but because a lot of people want her crucified it of course didn't satisfy her haters. Ultimately, it's just... eh.

>>10803024
This is a lot more raw. Some of the passages in it really wrench at your heartstrings. I recommend this more than I do the former. Neither of these books, however, are compassionless towards Hillary, which I appreciate.

Yes because the British Empire is the peak of all egalitarian ideals and is self evidently the most stable democracy to ever exist.

Representative democracy and the electoral college system was designed to mitigate what's known as "the tyranny of the majority" where people from certain geographic areas can completely dictate the lives of those living hundreds of miles away by virtue of population.

Press freedom laws are not as wide. Libel and slander laws are stricter for royalty and government than for ordinary citizens. Education is less flexible. Their citizenry has less effect on policy. They have actual, legally enforced classes.

Cromwell was an actual dictator who took control of the government. The civil war was a rebellion, but the same government was in control before, during, and after. The same legal documents from our nation's founding are still in place as the supreme law of the land.

Lastly, I cannot shift the goalposts if you refuse to either provide or accept a definition. I said it is the archetype and pinnacle of a representative democratic republic. If we were to actually debate this, step one would be agreeing on how such a claim could be measured and assessed. I've provided several possible metrics. You have done nothing.

It's more that East Asians are the most marginalized and discriminated against group, the only group discriminated against both leftists for being successful and the right for being soulless slant eyes. yet are the most successful anyways.

Affirmative action, using racial discrimination to accomplish equity looks positively retarded when you realize that by far the most adversely affected by it are East Asians. In an attempt to counter some of the advantages white people got through systemic oppression I.E. slavery what affirmative action actually ends up doing is oppressing an already oppressed minority and giving their jobs to another minority group. This inconvenient truth is probably the biggest problem with racial politics on the left because it's obviously and demonstrably untrue that seeking equity through racial discrimination will result in equality. Yet this is the status quo.

I would also argue that how East Asia has pulled many people out of poverty using capitalism and "exploitation" such as sweatshop labor also really makes the lefts arguments look fucking stupid. East Asians were far poorer under gommunism than they are under capitalism. Of course the lefts concerns about the exploitation of east asians by capitalists were never sincere and were only ever driven by pro-union protectionist interests.

Yeah, except the right doesn't discriminate against East Asians. Maybe the military component did for a bit after WWII, but by and large Chinese, Japanese, and Korean immigrants are seen as model citizens. There is a great respect for a somewhat general culture of hard work, community responsibility, and familial devotion.

Democracy is volatile. Some kind of mechanism is needed that allows the government to function in an orderly fashion while not limiting the voice of the people. The electoral college is one mechanism among many, and it serves a vital role. Because of the state system, the US has a somewhat compartmentalized culture and economy; the electoral college combines the popular interest with the territorial interest. This lets the states actually have a large measure of independence without ever gaining too much power over any of the others. The importance of the electoral college is perfectly demonstrated by the 3/5ths compromise and the Civil War. The 3/5ths compromise ceded enough power to the economically superior south to ensure the initial union, but not so much that their supremacy was guaranteed. When the Southern States no longer held the stronger position, they rebelled. They lost because their system was inferior to the northern system.

It absolutely does mean that. That is it's entire purpose. You are committing an appeal to authority. Forgetting for now that Hawking is British, his intelligence does not make him inherently right in all things. If Hawking cannot adequately communicate his position to Bubba the half-wit, then we as a nation cannot in good faith follow Hawking's position. Government relies on consent. If we simply yield control to the states with a larger population, and yield those states to the most powerful people in their government, we will no longer be a democracy. The electoral college limits the influence of the more prosperous and populous states, and empowers the weaker states, keeping the entire nation at a relatively even keel. We all rise together, and we all fall together. There is no other way. If the entire midwest and interior west are opposed to the coastal view, then we cannot simply follow the coasts. The South was once more populated and more economically prosperous than any other region. Had we not had the electoral college, they never would have fallen from power, and we would still have slavery.

Lol another butthurt commie blaming capitalist military action for the economic failures of communism. Mind you, scapegoating the failures of communism on the capitalist militarism can't explain shit like why China became so much more wealthy when it started allowing more capitalism and adopted free trade policies. This is because capitalist militarism isn't why communist economies truly failed, communist economies failed because communism is retarded.

>Relative poverty rate
Lmfao, I was talking about how east asia has become more rich, not about how it has become more equal. The poorest in east asia are less poor, the middle class now actually exists, and the rich are more rich. However, because leftists are pathologically envious, they see everybody getting richer as being a bad outcome if somebody else gets a bigger cut than they do.

This is why they like the system of communism where the state oppresses everybody into being poor to establish a state of little "relative poverty". If everybody is standing in bread lines, nobody has to feel bad about it!

North Korea has an ally in China. Without intervention, they have more fertile land than the South, and immense amounts of other natural resources. Due to a relative lack of some modern resources, they would not be able to be as industrialized as many countries. But with the protection of China, they could safely grow as a pastoral country. Instead they depleted their soil, put all of their resources into military and false cities, and now force the people into hard labor under impossibly harsh laws. They could easily get rid of sanctions, but their despot of a ruler refuses to yield control. It's literally tyranny.

But that's not true. They were two of the least liked candidates, which is mostly driven by people's personal opinion of the candidate, as measured by things like "would you want to have a beer with this person." Prior to the unsubstantiated claims of sexual assault and unfounded claims of russian interference, Trump had overwhelming electoral support. That he still won after so many otherwise career ending news cycles demonstrates clearly the incredible fervor of his supporters. That he spent relatively little money, against an opponent spending trillions shows that "likability" has got little to do with popularity or belief in their leadership.

Yeah thats cause dem socialism is a white under 30 mans game. The high social trust you need to make socialism work just doesn't exist in non-white communities. Socialised states work in Denmark, Germany, Finland, Australia even...anywhere where there is still some social capital. People can put into a system with the knowledge that they can also cash out. No such state of trust exists in America

Hillary was an awful choice, but Bernie realistically had no way of winning.

Voting, especially in presidential elections, is an image-driven popularity contest, and a bald, perpetually disheveled, hunched-over jew that looks like his wife buys his suits at walmart had no chance of winning.

Hell, there hasn't been a president under 5'11" since we gave women the vote.

Homosexuals have serious psychological problems because there are so few of them. They are a minority, and this makes it hard for them to adjust to and live in a world which is dominated by people who are very different from them. The result is that they spend their entire lives wrestling with their identities, trying to reconcile their values with those of the people who are on top. Black people spend their entire lives concerning themselves with their blackness, cripples with their disabilities, ethnic minorities with their marginalized cultures, and so on and so forth. This makes it both annoying for us to interact with them, and it also makes it very difficult for them to succeed in a world dominated by people who are happy and secure with their identities, and who are therefore far better able to focus on goals external to them — which is how the world is shaped. It is this shaping that leads to the domination of a sexual orientation, a race, or an ethnicity, and it is this domination which CREATES the minorities which then proceed to spend all their energy neurotically spinning about their identities, which merely serves to further marginalize them, and so on to infinity.

I think the main advantage homosexuals have is they don't carry the burden of our ancestors. I can't imagine how bad it must be to be black and have every single person in your family lamenting about their oppression. At least when you're gay all your family members are heterosexuals who are by and large much healthier.

I think heavy exposure to other minorities is probably the most destructive thing for minorities.

Just so you know, many of the Eastern european workers on British fields have left and last Summer most of our fruit turned moldy in the fields as british working class people don't want to pick the fruit and the people who do now are leaving because the British pound is worth less in comparison to their third-world fucking slavistan currency.

Close but not quite. The problem is that lowering the bar might get one round of higher numbers, but hides the underlying problem, which continues to fester. If normally under qualified applicants get jobs and get into schools based on the color of their skin, and if we lower the educational standards for them, we hide the fact that their schools are failing. This lets the overwhelming beuracracy of our government weigh down on these schools and these communities in full force. They are told that they are being cared for with these affirmative action policies, but all that's really happening is that what's worst in our cities is rewarded while those who actually strive for something better are met with mounting challenges. What was once a temporary crisis has become endemic. Most ethnic groups are marginalized until they begin, slowly, to reach the same educational levels as the general population. Via affirmative action, Black Americans have been denied this.

That is specifically because of selection caused by discrimination, distance, and timeframe, as mostly only wealthy asians were capable of immigrating into the US. Largely a consequence of legislation against asian immigrants which didn't fully go away until 1965.

Our people are so shit that they'd rather not do any manual labor and prefer to live on the dole. That will be given to them by taking others people money (only three ways the money for the dole can come =taxes, taking gov.debt or "printing" money all of these take value out of the hands of other people).
Instead of doing something to fix our society and useless people - we complain that our slaves are leaving :(.
