And seriously? "Globalist socialist agenda"? You realize the only ones selling out are your so called capitalists in the neverending search for more dollars in their pocket? Turn off the Faux News and go outside and smell the fresh air every now and then.
Not defending what the other poster wrote, but the biggest polluter we currently have is communist China.

So if FNC is conservative propaganda; CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC, NPR are all far left propaganda...what do you recommend we listen to for balance?

Critiquing an argument based on age, race and sex is literally an awesome ad hominen attack and I think you should use it all the time.


Racist, sexist, and ageist all in one sentence. QED. Literally.

Literally use the world literally all the time. Unless you’re writing about littoral combat, which would be confusing (but amusing).

"Confusing (but amusing)" could easily be the APC slogan.

He literally mentioned the three identity groups that are literally not protected in the US.

It's literally the argument of last resort when you're completely lost the debate. "Well if you don't agree with me then you're an idiot and you just weren't paying attention". Yeah okay pops.
No, what it means is that one's lack of observation and/or critical thinking skills are so low, that it is impossible to have any sort of intelligent discussion on the matter until one brings themselves up to a level capable of doing so.

You aren't interested in intelligent discussion. You are only interested in insulting everyone that doesn't believe what you believe.

Communism in and of itself isn't the polluter, it's the fact that China makes almost all of the worlds stuff. So you shove all the factories into one country with little to no environmental regulation and that's what you get.

And just to be crystal clear with some of the McCarthyists in this thread, i am not defending communism. China can call itself communist and all that but their actions are far more capitalistic than their government would ever admit.

People aren't capable of nuance. You can have an authoritarian capitalist society. And you can have a democratic socialist one.
