On MMO-C we learn that Anti-Fascism is locking arms with corporations, the State Department and agreeing with the CIA, But opposing the CIA and corporate America, and thinking Jews have a right to buy land and can expect tenants to pay rent THAT is ultra-Fash Nazism. Bellingcat is an MI6/CIA cut out. Clyburn Truther.

Union strength has declined under Republicans and Democrats alike. They play a lot of lip service to unions when its campaign time, but they lack results when it comes to policy making.
Sure, Republicans are openly hostile to unions and have caused most of the damage, but you can't sit here and act like the corporate world hasn't dominated policy making of both parties for the past 40 years.
So Democrats are trying to pass ambitious pro-labor laws in the last year? Good for them, about fucking time. Get it passed and we'll talk.
Also, fuck police unions.
- Christopher HitchensPopulists (and "national socialists") look at the supposedly secret deals that run the world "behind the scenes". Child's play. Except that childishness is sinister in adults.

Don't assume ignorance when malice is also a good explanation. Do you honestly think the person who thinks America's most pressing political issue is the destruction of traditional values by the urban elite is spreading right wing rhetoric for shits and giggles?
Let's be clear here, for the people who aren't as familiar with far right dogwhistling;
- Complaining about technocrats and academics by trying to cast them as out of touch elites = using rural and working class people as a cudgel to make it more difficult to challenge unsubstantiated right wing beliefs on scientific or expert grounds.
- Complaining about urban centers as dehumanising because they are so dense and cosmopolitan = complaining about diversity and making it more difficult to combat the negative effects of phenomena like white flight and self-segregation.
- Complaining about "open immigration" and at the same time decrying the breakdown of the traditional family and the apparent 'plague' of single people in urban centers = complaining white people aren't reproducing enough to outbreed and left wing culture is responsible.
Among others. The progenitors of these particular talking points are well aware that they are largely counterfactual positions and that is the point - they are designed to be difficult to challenge on rational grounds by virtue of their inherent irrationality. If said poster is truly ignorant of this, not sure whether that is more or less damning than being aware of these farces and still continuing to push them.
The saddest part of this one is that a lot of latinos and african americans would be conservative voters if it weren't for the GOP's racism. There's a lot of highly religious people who hold conservative social views among minorities and the Republicans just toss them away because they aren't white.
American conservative views regarding the family inherently require a slave class of domestic workers to sustain said family, change my mind.
Women are more traditional but blacks will do in a pinch, according to the South.

Don't circumlocute.
Calling TTP/TTIP anti-union is a way to get working class people to buy into isolationist and anti-immigrant rhetoric. It's not ridiculous, it's just racist.
So apparently Andrew Yang's giveaway to trial UBI might actually violate campaign finance laws, but because the FEC doesn't have a quorum it can't rule on it or even issue an opinion.

At a societal level, jobs that get outsourced like that industry-wide are jobs that are largely not worth doing, locally. The value of the labor is below that which local workers are willing (or able, with minimum wage laws) to accept.
And at the societal level, that's a good thing. It means the nation as a whole is becoming wealthier and stronger.
At the individual level, people facing this kind of issue need to be willing to A> move to where jobs are, particularly if they're in an industry town whose industry shut down (common with mining towns, for instance), and B> to retrain for a new career. Before you protest, I fully encourage government support in achieving those targets; I'm not suggesting they be expected to cover this themselves. But they need to be willing to do these things.
Otherwise, they're demanding the government make an unprofitable business profitable, which is something that only makes sense if that business is necessary to the nation's security and success; things like maintaining local agriculture and power generation, for instance. Not resource extraction or refining or manufacturing.
Plus, we're talking about capitalism, here. That's why jobs are being outsourced. If you want to come over to the socialist side of things and condemn capitalist models, feel free, but you're literally complaining about free market activity pursued for the generation of private profits, here.
