US Politics - A Society in Meltdown

Yes , how does a lad become a plumber , electrician or a carpenter in US ?

The program’s exist but are sadly underutilized. When you compare to western Eurooe the numbers are shocking. Basically kids want to attend college as this is promoted as the way to succeed, and apprenticeships viewed as “manual labor”, never mind the fact that plumbers, electricians, mechanics, etc. earn far more than your average college graduate.

The government is hugely to blame as they perpetuate this myth that everyone needs a 4 year degree. Another factor is a young generation that are work shy, literally every contractor I’ve talked to says it’s impossible to get anyone to work for them and when they do find someone they only last a few weeks.

And here is why Trump is President.

Mayor Signer is spot on.

This really is a tremendous Twitter thread.

Actual large adult goats have considerably more intellect than most people who identify with “American conservatism”.

Nobody is trying to legislate away their right to marry.
Nobody is trying to make them buy insurance to pay for ‘male health care.’

The law never

Enslaved their great-grandparents
Robbed their grandparents
Imprisoned their parents
Shot them when unarmed

There is no massive effort at the state and local level to disenfranchise them of the vote.

There is no history of centuries of bad science devoted to ‘proving’ their intellectual inferiority.

There is no travel ban on them because of their religion.
There is no danger for them when they carry dangerous weaponry publicly.

Their churches were never burned.
Their lawns never decorated with burning crosses
Their ancestors never hung from trees

Their mothers aren’t being torn away by ICE troopers and sent away forever. They won’t be forced to leave the only country they ever knew.

The president has not set up a hotline to report crime committed at their hands.

They are chanting ‘we will not be replaced.’

Replaced as … what?

I’ll tell you.

Replaced as the only voice in public discussions.
Replaced as the only bodies in the public arena.
Replaced as the only life that matters.

THIS is ‘white people’ oppression:

We used to be the only voice. Now we hold the only microphone.

THIS is ‘white man’ oppression.

We face criticism now. We were free from it, because others feared the consequences.

THIS is ‘oppression’ of white Christians in this country.

Christmas used to be the only holiday acknowledged, now it’s not.

I would so love to see these people get all the oppression they insist they receive, just for a year. Just to see.

Give them a world where you ACTUALLY can’t say Christmas.

A world where the name “Geoff” on a resume puts it in the trash.

Give them a world where they suddenly get a 20% pay cut, and then 70 women every day tell them to smile more.

Give them a world where their polo shirt makes people nervous, so they’re kicked off the flight from Pittsburgh to Indianapolis.

Give them a world where they inherited nothing but a very real understanding of what oppression really fucking is.

Give them a world where if they pulled up on a campus with torches lit and started throwing hands, the cops would punch their eyes out.

Put THAT in your Tiki torches and light it, you sorry Nazi bitches.

Good morning, by the way, how is everybody.

If the antifa left wing fascists were non violent then the Mayor would have a point. Unfortunately they are extremely violent and have caused significant property damage and injuries in numerous locations across the US, with no backlash up to now. Both sides to blame for the violence here, unless one believes that left wing violence is OK.

I see CNN had to sack Trump shill Jeffrey Lord for tweeting “Sieg Heil” the other day.

US “conservatism” is a mental illness, as demonstrated clearly on this thread.

:clap::clap::clap::clap:

Throw up some links of evidence to these attacks, mate.

That image with those torches is plain fucking wrong & is a clear message to a dirty rotten disgusting past which belong there. Not in 2017.

There are plenty examples, mainly on the west coast but spreading nationally. This lovely lad is currently on trial for busting heads with a bike lock. A third level professor no less, a grand example to his students.

Where did you see me defend the KKK, you absolute simpleton.

You’re trying to argue with an Olympic-standard mental gymnast who will find any excuse to equivocate and equate what he sees as “the liberal agenda” with actual Naziism.

You’re not arguing with a person who possesses reason.

A democratic decision was made to remove a statue of Robert E. Lee, who represented and fought for slavery.

The right reacted to that democratic decision with terrorism.

An article from the fabled Fake News _Washington Post ___ :smile: & from April to make this even better :smile::smile:

Here you go simpleton, this is from two days ago.

:smile:

Some Republican cunt called Jack Kingston calling the term “white supremacists” “a buzzword” on CNN.

Deary me.

Are you so high you can’t string a thought together? If the Washington Post are reporting it, and it’s not anti-Trump in nature, then there’s a good chance it’s true. So, use your brain* and google Eric Clanton for verification of the story.

*never mind.

The poster with the picture of Tony Keady and who claims to be an Irish Republican has the exact same mindset as the Loyalist thugs who gathered at Drumcree and made the people of the Garvaghy Road prisoners in their own homes and community.

You can’t make this shit up.

Go fuck yourself you useless wankstain.

You really do lose the rag any time anybody tells an uncomfortable truth about you.

Which is exactly the response which proves that uncomfortable truth.
