but consider how, when obama became president, his opponents questioned what above all else? his identity, of course i.e., they branded him the kenyan muslim socialist meaning if you’re not white and christian you’re not american (he was christian though at that point, and “half white”. lol blood quanta) the socialism bit was just for decoration. he basically implemented nixoncare. that’s very telling, no? i mean half century ago there was the issue of kennedy’s catholicism, but it wasn’t as ferocious or demented because the man was white. |

The United States relationship with the Saudi regime isn’t the most palatable, however, they are our ally......why? Saudi Arabia hates Iran and are actively fighting them along w/ Jordan & Egypt. Iran is a threat to the Middle East......especially Israel. There is no doubt Saudi Arabia is doing terrible things, but they were the United States ally in the first Gulf War and World War 2 and the Saudis are helping us now by keeping Iran in check. In the choice between bad (Saudi Arabia) and worse (Iran), a rational person/country will choose bad just to avoid worse. |

Thanks for the laughs here. America helped fund the coup that shifted Iran from a liberal country that it was to what it is now. All cos of oil. It's because of America that they're the totalitarian state it is now. Along with that Saudi Arabia's human rights record is consistently considered one of the worst countries. They're no better than Iran and you're a fool if you think Saudi Arabia is just "bad". And don't forget their acceptance of jihadists and that the perpetrators of 9/11 were from there.

All 100% true!
Not a laughing matter......a true and ever present evil! But some here don’t believe in evil. Reality is horrible atrocities occur in Muslim countries everyday. Individuals pulled out of their homes or stopped in the streets and beheaded or tortured to death......we don’t hear about the majority of them. Quote:

By the by, even though Iran is a repressive theocratic dictatorship and the ayatollahs can go fuck a goat, nowadays is just almost akin to the U.S.'s goddamn Bible Belt (without the guns) compared to the MEDIEVAL fuckedupness that is Saudi Arabia. Check their policies on the role of women in society, for starters. For decades we've been told the lie that Shia = completely psychotic mass murderers while Sunni = moderates who get jiggy with the West. Don't have to tell ya that that bullshit doesn't exactly square with the events of the past 20 years, do I.

i understand the dramatics and can tolerate them or support them because the doors are not open, or open to a brick wall, or slam your head over and over when you try to cross them Quote:
if this means that working class whites embraced identity politics and started acting like an ethnic block, yes i agree Quote:
you mean don’t open the front door to colored women because they already have a service entrance in the back? the dramatics and kicking at doors that you complain about are what keep the experiment rolling. it’s the only thing that’s ever worked. olympic detachment is a sign at the door saying “we’re closed” |

I think in England the more decisive social separator is class. Race is still an issue, obviously... Brits basically invented modern racism.. but class seems to be the bigger issue over there. People seem to be looked up/down to based on their dialect, education level, region and economic heritage. Maybe I’m wrong. Haven’t spent a ton of time in the U.K., and not in many years. |

There is always the option to disengage, but that leaves the elephant in the room alone, and also opens up further Chinese and Russian influence potential. Especially if they go for a gold backed trade unit. |
