Everyone knows Trump supporters that are not involved with politics are either retarded or trolls, you seem to fall into the latter category. People who get off acting like he's king **** just to piss people off, just like all those ironic 4chan threads that played a big part in getting him elected in the first place.
About as edgy as saying the holocaust didn't happen or 9/11 was an inside job. Trying a more creative way to troll that doesn't actively **** you up the ass at the same time.

"Haha guys, check out this fire I started lol look it's on my pant leg now lol haha long as those other guys still get burned this is still hilarious" - Trump supporters, probably
You have made low self-awareness into an art form. Everything you have written in this topic has been so girly.

Acerk is so ridiculous I'm can't figure out if he's a troll or not.  If you're going to troll a keyboard forum, at least be cheeky and absurd like rip^H^H^Hmicrosoft windows.

Such an obsession with manliness really makes me wonder what deep-seated fear is being covering up.  Like when dudes use "cuckservative" in a non-ironic way.  I read it as serious insecurity.  Sad.

Also, Acerk, haven't you heard?  False allegations are the new politics.  It worked against Hillary, right? :wink:

This is exactly how chicks argue. It's almost like I knew in advance (testosterone post) that you have soy tits. You are terrified of being mocked.

In general soy products are of concern.

But with regards to Man-Bewbs specifically.. Cows milk is a far stronger instigator of bewbage than Soy-milk is.

Cows milk contain pregnant animal estrogen and progesterone, this is far more similar to human estrogen and more potent than soy-estrogen

Yeahhhh, I think you need to check the poll demographics... Only 30% of white voters voted for Jones. 96% of black people voted for Jones. You should probably change your twisted perceptions about who is who's targeted and realistic demographics.

I guess you think that everyone on 4chan and /r/T_D are ****ing bodybuilders, huh?

Who is GZ?
Citizens United violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president.
So now we’ve just seen a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors, who want and expect and sometimes get favors for themselves after the election’s over.”

You have to be really autistic to not figure out that I was mocking parts of the Jones voter demographics. I mean, they didn't gather every single voter in that picture in the first place.

While we're on the topic, I wonder how 96% of black voters voted for Jones... Such diversity diversity brings.

Jones demographics:
- blacks
- hispanics (I assume)
- low smv whites
- economically dependant whites (education, public employment, welfare, single moms etc)

So your opposition to Trump is based on psychological assessments, now? Sounds legit.

I don't mean to lecture you guys on psychology, as you're all clearly experts on the topic, but you really should cut down on the heavy handed language. It's an obvious manifestation of your struggle to cope with real world events contradicting your most valued beliefs. You think you're being reasonable, but to people who aren't as personally invested in those same beliefs, it's embarrassingly transparent. The degree to which you insist on your beliefs with hyperbole, is the degree to which you know you're wrong, but unwilling to accept it.

Go ahead and tell us all about how Trump is a sociopath, and he definitely only became the President to exploit this country to make himself rich. If it helps, you can pretend we're all unaware of the fact that you're projecting. Your preoccupation with Donald Trump is not a reflection of your impotence!  :))

When I post links to articles, books, essays, etc, they are always documents that I myself have read and evaluated seriously for accuracy and relevance. My impression is that many of the responses and replies that are generated are "automatic" or impulsive, without having read and understood the documents in question, and do not come from positions of consideration and fact, but rather are emotional impulses from people who have not taken the effort to comprehend what was really expressed.

Just for example, here is a partial page from the book that I referenced above:


Citizens United violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president.

It's rational to automatically reject it. Trying to asses public figures without actually having access to them is a fool's errand. You just end up projecting onto them, which is why it makes professionals who contribute to books like this look incredibly bad. They, of all people, should know better. A really good example of this is Sam Harris' podcasts about Trump. He reads into Trump's use of language and more, but never even considers that his use of language may be deliberate (or deceptive) as opposed to a window into his state of mind. That possibility should be blatantly obvious, but it never occurs to him. You would learn a lot more from reading "Without Conscience" instead.

That looks similar to:

which a co-worker loaned to me and I read a few months ago.

The spectrum of abnormal psychology is quite wide.

I am quite curious to know: What it is about Trump that is attractive to you?

The book I mentioned doesn't go into serial murderers, but it's a fascinating book because it's filled with the personal anecdotes of the writer. He used to work with prisoners. It's pretty illuminating and I imagine the knowledge in that book would be pretty helpful if you get entangled with someone that might be a psychopath.

The thing I appreciate the most about Trump, is his willingness to face political storms in order to do what is necessary. Most people can't appreciate the mental fortitude you need to tell inconvenient truths that large sections of society depend on being unspoken for their livelihood (welfare, military contracts, government contracts, regulatory protection, public employment, social services). When people tell me they dislike Trump, I may think less of their intellectual abilities, but if they can't even think of one positive thing to say about his character, then I know they are fundamentally untrustworthy. People who live by moral convictions will be familiar with the fallout that comes from doing so in a nihilistic culture.

Donald Trump is incredibly brave. It should serve as a civilizational omen that he is so hated. By the time a great civilization collapses, the values people held have inverted;

  • Bravery => Meekness
  • Boldness => Appeasement (bread and circuses)
  • Sexual prudence => Normalizing deviant sexual behavior
  • Virtue => Flattery/vanity
  • In-group preference => Out-group preference
  • Aspiration => Apathy
  • Man-oriented => Woman-oriented

You don't have to trust me about that. The United States have around 210 trillion dollars in unfunded liabilities, which amounts to around 1.5 million dollars per taxpayer, and there are similar financial situations throughout Europe. That would be unmanageable even without an aging population. Older generations are consuming public services that they never paid for, despite inheriting booming economies, asking their children to pay for them in contracting economies where they have terrible job security. This doesn't even take into account that the next generations are likely to be less productive, as the Welfare state is paying people with Employment-Resistant Personality traits to have more children, and taxing productive people, so they have fewer.

If you add immigration to this, it looks even worse for most of Europe. Immigrants from Africe, the Middle-East and South-America consume welfare services disproportionately, pay less taxes than the host population and have more children. European politicians believed immigration would alleviate the burden of having an aging population below replacement rate, by supplying more taxpayers. However, immigration in total has been a net cost.

Then you can add in the fact that populations with more diversity, have less trust and more crime. It turns out that having different ethnic groups in close proximity leads to wars (the Middle-East, Southeast Europe). This might explain why the generation born after the 2000's is the most conservative generation since the second world war. By coming in contact with more people from different ethnic backgrounds, they are being programmed to have a higher in-group preference and low disgust tolerance.

You aren't really in a position to call my ideas content free, after I've written a lengthy explanation of my views relating to many facts for you, and you've provided nothing so far. Clutching your pearls is not an argument, neither is "X sounds similar to what Y says, and Y is shameful, so you must disregard X." You really aren't getting it. This is the Dunning Kruger effect. In this entire thread you guys only provide posturing, and yet you are certain you're right, which suggests that's what persuades you. You believe you can think, which is odd because you have no evidence for it. When have you done it? My initial reaction was right. You guys are low T, which is why you reflexively reject opinions that may lead to conflict and disapproval - no surprise as you're so vocal about your disapproval of me and Trump, but never actual facts or arguments.

I see in your responses and statements mostly opinions and emotion rather than "facts"

As a lifelong professional problem-solver, I recognized long ago that since people can only formulate and achieve solutions to problems after they agree on what the problems are, identifying the nature of problems and getting that agreement is usually the biggest hurdle.

Personally, I see the 3 biggest problems facing the human race today as, in order: (1) income inequality, (2) global warming, and (3) the rise of fundamentalist religion. In my opinion, Trump, and people like him (the political "right" in general) are steering our society in precisely the wrong direction on all 3 counts, with their feet down hard on the accelerator pedal.
 
Citizens United violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president.
So now we’ve just seen a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors, who want and expect and sometimes get favors for themselves after the election’s over.”

I was referring to any and all intolerant fundamentalist orthodoxies.

I appreciated that you asked me what I like about Trump. It seemed sincere and it was a nice change of pace that someone asked a question out of curiosity. However, after giving you a well thought out explanation mostly for your benefit, which you flippantly disregarded, I don't feel obligated to be nice and ask questions about your post. It's just boring. I've heard it before. I don't even know if you truly believe it, or if you've been conditioned to say it because you've seen the negative repercussions that can come from slaying sacred cows.

You open with claiming my post mostly contains opinions and emotion, without realizing you are describing the post you're writing. If you read it again, you'll notice I provided at least a handful of pretty startling facts in my post, that I used as a premise to write around. It's kind of silly for you to then go on and broadcast the same kind of formulaic list of "our biggest problems facing us today" that is regularly churned out in every newspaper and repeated by every insecure person who wants to come across as smart. This isn't a beauty pageant. Why should I care that you were able to memorize three terms and list them off to me? You haven't exactly come across as someone that has read any of the substantial criticisms that exist to your viewpoint, if you only venture outside of the already narrated intellectual environment it seems like you inhabit.

Don't be so boring.

Are you the kind of person who would stop by the grocery store because you are out of tooth paste, when you're on your way to the hospital after being stabbed?

Nah I wouldn't go to the hospital after being stabbed, here in the good ol' US of A I'd have to pay around $12k to get myself patched up so it'd be easier to just die.  If I were going though, I'd definitely get my own toothpaste so that they couldn't charge me $900 for a travel sized tube.

You deflect because you know answering my question shows you're wrong. It's easy to pretend to be heroic by criticizing Christians, as there are no consequences. Kind of like how feminists complain about sexual assault on campuses, because that's where women are safest from sexual assault.

I was unaware I was deflecting, mainly because I had no idea you were even tying Christianity into your statement.  I mean, even now that you told me your statement had something to do with Christianity and I'm re-reading it, I STILL don't know what you're trying to say, so I guess keep ranting on about feminists and I'll just get back to work?

If you have a dangerous problem and an annoying problem, you don't spend an equal amount of time fixing both. You fix the dangerous problem first. If you're not really doing anything about Islam, but you spend a lot of time talking about your issues with Christianity, then you don't have a problem with fundamentalism. You just have something against Christians and you're lying about it.

I have spent a lot of time in the past addressing my issues with Christianity, but now usually avoid it.  The reason I have talked about my issues with Christianity in the past is because I grew up in an evangelical Christian household and personally saw and felt the damage it caused not only to me, but also to others who didn't conform to the evangelical life as they described it, while these same groups protect their own who are guilty of things far worse than the small issues they drove others away for. 

I don't personally speak out against Islam often because I know very few people who actually practice it in my life.  Also, all of those I have met personally have been perfectly amiable, but I have no problem speaking out against ALL fundamentalist religions and their followers who decide to hurt or kill others because they don't conform to their ideological tenets.

TL:DR, **** the racial Islamists, the radical Christians, and **** any other radical religious or social groups that are not accepting of others.  Their causes do nothing but push back the advances humanity have struggled to make, and have no benefit to our society.
