Since we can't call out Trolls and Bad Faith posters and the Ignore function doesn't actually ignore it. Add
"mmo-champion.com##li.postbitignored"
to your ublock or adblock filter to actually ignore ignored posters. Now just need a way to ignore responses to them as well.
It's good to see Prager admit that the U.S. is a racist country. It won't be too long now before they embrace critical race theory. Maybe we can get the Fox News and QAnon nutter crowd to turn against them.
“Leadership: Whatever happens, you’re responsible. If it doesn’t happen, you’re responsible.” -- Donald J. Trump, 2013
"I don't take responsibility at all." -- Donald J. Trump, 2020
Let me put it this way: I saw this quote last night without attribution (or I just missed the attribution, because it was late), and immediately assumed it was someone trying to say that America isn't just a country with racist systems, but a country founded on racist values at its core.

Ah the magna carta a blueprint for a constitutional monarchy created by warmongers. The english bill was created by a dutch king that suppressed the catholics and especially the Irish and Jon Locke owned stock in slave trading companies. By your own standards this is a nightmare and makes every single person in America flawed.
Perhaps you should look at what our predecessors did right instead of wrong.
Perhaps the American wokist should stop dragging western history and by extension western humanism through the mud. We are quickly becoming the laughingstock of the world.

is that a bad thing?
Congratulations, you seem to have finally grasped the concept of systemic racism.
We'll get to that after we've finished fixing the lasting impacts of what they did wrong.Perhaps you should look at what our predecessors did right instead of wrong.
Perhaps western civilization should live up to what it promises so there wouldn't be so much legitimate basis to drag it through the mud.Perhaps the American wokist should stop dragging western history and by extension western humanism through the mud. We are quickly becoming the laughingstock of the world.

Treating the constitution as a sacred document that should never be changed is completely against the entire spirit of its formation. The entire point is that it should be able to adapt and change. There's nothing wrong with analyzing the mistakes and failings of previous iterations. Nothing is perfect.
I find it insanely odd this is the direction they decided to embrace. I think just about any society can look into its past and find horrors and injustices. The USA is absolutely no different. Those that say they are probably are a bit wacked. But to excuse them away and embrace them just seems looney. Like why would you excuse slavery away into anything other than the shitty thing it was.
Uh...yeah...all these things were/are flawed. As is the US Constitution, written largely by proud slave owners who decided that slaves were a good bargaining chip and that women should stay in the kitchen barefoot and pregnant.
It's good to acknowledge and understand the flaws and awful bits of our history so we can appreciate it and strive to continually improve.
We do, but righting the things they did wrong is probably a bit more important than having a parade for the things they did right, no?
Sorry if acknowledging how bloody and awful our history is makes you feel bad? Who's laughing, by the way? China? Russia? North Korea? Namibia? Argentina? Does it matter if they're laughing, especially in the context of the most powerful/wealthy western democracies in the world?
Because yeah, western humanism isn't being "dragged through the mud" now, we're just taking the lipstick off the extremely muddy pig and aren't pretending that it's anything other than a pig covered in mud anymore. It's not Wilbur, despite generations of trying to convince people that it's a very special pig.
Is it funny or sad that PragerU has a take on John Locke?
Havent watched it, but i'd wager it's launched a thousand bad takes on Locke.
Time is really a flat circle. I need a volcano to jump into.
Poor Al Franken, who I will never stop being bitter about him being fuckin shanked and forced to resign, had the fuckin right of it over a decade ago.We love America just as much as they do. But in a different way. You see, they love America like a 4-year-old loves his mommy. Liberals love America like grown-ups. To a 4-year-old, everything Mommy does is wonderful and anyone who criticizes Mommy is bad. Grown-up love means actually understanding what you love, taking the good with the bad and helping your loved one grow.
And the guy can freehand all 50 states, borders and all.
It does, however, speak to ideology since the nature of that government invariably reflects the values of the society that sets it up.
No, what you see is what 18th century Englishmen believed Hellenistic culture looked like, and even that is mostly neoclassical window dressing (i.e. aesthetic); the nuts and bolts of American government is firmly northern european in origin.And i also see plenty of Roman and greek influences in the american republic.

Perhaps it does matter for the LGBT community living in these countries? Do you think other people will emulate us now with people like you saying our morals are a dirty pig? You said you want to improve things? look outside the america´s to do so!
So you are basically saying you are morally inferior to the rest of the world . Do not look suprised if the rest of the world will not take you seriously.
