Y’all ever considered discussing ideas instead of other people?

Good point. Let's discuss the issue. Are black people lazy, what say you all?

As Burt said, the problem is that what is spoken is largely bullshit (as is most of the news) so being informed is worthless.

I disagree and I think there are two things here:

1.) The words have little value because we care more about the speaker. That's the (mc)paradigm that must be inverted.

2.) Breaking the cycle of unalterable establishment control is one of the reasons Trump is so hated. He did so much dumb shit that was counter the establishment he proved change could be made, even if the specific changes he made were net negative to the country.

Except for vary narrow things, I don't agree with basically any segment of this sentence.

alright, making america great again is thinly veiled code for a return to white male dominance and turning a blind eye to systemic racism.

Can you guys point me to the racist posts that Burt has made? I guess I just don't remember them.

this has been my assumption as well

Maybe people just (understandably) hate white liberals.

Burt, what does life look like for you when the system collapses ?

White liberals, like Kamala Harris

I can't tell if this is a joke or not.

In the world I see you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockafeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Towers. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying stripes of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighways.

The comma was a typo

You wont survive this. No offense.

I think Kamala will be president in roughly the same way that Biden is president now. It doesn't even seem like she particularly wants the job.

Yeah well I'm not getting any younger if this thing is gonna collapse I'd rather it not happen when I'm 60.

Not wanting the job is a fairly decent quality in a public servant.
