What's your take on this? Biden’s History of Getting Away With Racist Remarks https://www.heritage.org/progressivism/commentary/bidens-history-getting-away-racist-remarks In 2007, he referred to Barack Obama as “the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean.” In 2010, he warmly eulogized Sen. Robert Byrd, a former Exalted Cyclops in the Ku Klux Klan, saying he was “one of my mentors” and that “the Senate is a lesser place for his going.” Biden said two-party system in South was 'good for the Negro' https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/biden-said-two-party-system-in-south-was-good-for-the-negro

You are confusing concepts here. Trump's America First politics are fundamentally protectionist. Don't take my word for it, just read what some prominent Trump haters say about it. Joseph Stiglitz, in his book Globalization and Its Discontents Revisited: Anti-Globalization in the Age of Trump, goes to great lengths to smear the mere concept of protectionism as embodied by Trump. Top economists blame Trump's protectionist policies for global 'stagnation' https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/top-economists-blame-trump-s-protectionist-policies-global-stagnation-n1070036 Economists offer bleak view of President Trump’s first term, citing deglobalization trends and ‘protectionism’ https://www.cnbc.com/2020/08/24/krugman-stiglitz-sachs-and-economists-comment-on-trumps-first-term.html

Please list a few of those pronouncements.

Danderman can’t quote me saying Hitler was right because I didn’t say it. Now I asked you whether you had read Mein Kampf or not, because that is necessary to understand the context. Hitler’s political vision was steeped in race, his obsession was to safeguard the Aryan race and when he says “all great cultures of the past perished only because the originally creative race died out from blood poisoning”, it is pretty self-explanatory. Trump’s political vision, however, is fundamentally protectionist and therefore, logically (as was the case with the original left such as embodied by Jean Jaurès) is against mass immigration. When he says immigrants are poisoning “the blood of our country”, he is referring to the economic and social fabric of the country. In line with his protectionist vision, he also said that he was going to “stop the invasion of our southern border and begin the largest domestic deportation operation in American history." There isn’t – and never was – a racial component to Trump’s political view. Only an ignorant or a mediocre sophist would say this. Oh and while we’re on the subject, what’s your take on this? "It's not confined to a party," Biden said regarding attitudes about race. "And I think the two-party system, although my Democratic colleagues don't like me saying this, I think the two-party system is good for the South, good for the Negro, good for the black in the South, and other than the fact that they still call me boy, I don't think they've changed their mind on this." https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/biden-said-two-party-system-in-south-was-good-for-the-negro

Yes. Now please quote the part where you claim I say Hitler was right.

Please quote the part where you claim I say Hitler was right.

I agree with Trump. Immigration policies as they exist are programmed destruction of a nation, I have seen it in my home country of France. https://www.voanews.com/a/critics-slam-trump-remarks-that-u-s-immigrants-are-poisoning-the-blood-/7403229.html “They’re poisoning the blood of our country,” Trump told supporters Saturday during a campaign appearance in the eastern state of New Hampshire. He added: “All over the world, they’re coming into our country, from Africa, from Asia, all over the world.” Now let's look at the Hitler excerpt: In his best-known book, Mein Kampf, written while in prison for that insurrection attempt, Hitler wrote: “All great cultures of the past perished only because the originally creative race died out from blood poisoning.” Have you read Mein Kampf? I have. Hitler's political vision had nothing to do with Trump's. You are not doing yourself a favour, in terms of credibility, by using two words to make such a grossly erroneous association.

Trump derangement syndrome is reaching new heights.

I share Trump's pro-life stance which has nothing to do with controlling women's bodies.

Relax, when Trump gets back into office in November, all he is going to do is continue the protectionist policies he initiated during his first term (I don't recall any wars being started during 2016-2020, let's drop the reductio ad Hitlerum, shall we?).

Of course it is… I would say the problem is I can't decide what gets injected or not in my body and my son's body.

Discriminatory attitudes against unvaccinated people during the pandemic https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-05607-y#auth-Alexander-Bor-Aff1-Aff2

An organised dogma with appointed authorities who are the sole dispensers of truth, orders to believe the dogma ("trust the science"), ostracisation of anyone challenging it, believers who will steadfastly defend it… it seems to fit the definition of religion to me.

Quite the contrary. They are the modern blasphemers.

Your sophism was expected. I know lots of people, several of them with families, who were given the choice of getting jabbed or losing their job and effectively becoming homeless. What you describe is active coercion. What I describe is passive coercion. Both are equally deleterious.

Please explain your suggested link between Warp Speed and vaccine mandates.

The only dictatorship I remember in recent years was when the people were forced to inject themselves with a dubious substance, under the guise of Covid, in order to be able to enjoy basic freedoms. The name of the dictator in charge at that time was Joe Biden.

Indeed. A statement such as this one would not have been accepted just a year ago. Now it is. We have come a long way in terms of general awareness. The Overton window is shifting.

I was at Suvarnabhumi airport earlier this week and I have never seen so many people cough. Hundreds of people. Sickness everywhere. Failing immune systems.

Never vaxxed, never had Covid, let that sink in. Healthy people don't generate a single cent for the pharmaceutical cartel, that is why they are demonised.

The Overton window is shifting as planned. First, there is no evidence of DNA in the vaccines. Now, well actually there is DNA but there is no reason to think that it alters a person's DNA or causes cancer. The next step will be, "well, okay, it does alter the DNA, but in no harmful way". Then "well maybe it is a bit harmful, but less harmful than catching Covid". Then, "well, maybe it does cause cancer in some rare cases" etc.

You clearly have it all sussed out, including my BMI. I am humbled by your clairvoyance.

Plenty of sugar in McDonald's "food"… among other things. In any case, I have seen overweight Thai people in villages where there is no fast food outlet in a 100 km radius. But there is a lady who drives by every day selling coffee. I ordered an iced tea once and watched her make it. 1, 2, 3, 4 tablespoons of white sugar… I have also noticed that people have gained weight since Covid, no doubt because they are eating less protein and more carbohydrates as it is cheaper, which leads to weight gain. Ultimately, sugar is always the culprit… as well as additives which disrupt the metabolism.

No worries. This is an extraordinary event in any case. I think both possibilities (mistake and tip) are valid, and I would tend to favour the former, I'm just making the point that the latter is not preposterous either IMO.

"This facet of the discussion seems ridiculous because it is..." What would be ridiculous would be to bicker about something neither of us knows about. I am certainly not going there. I gave my insight based on my previous professional experience with high tippers and responded to the poster who said "no sane person will willing give that much as a tip, no matter how generous they are", which is an incorrect statement.
