The funny thing is Australia has compulsory voting. I sometimes hear Bern victims wish that the US had compulsory voting because it would make a Free Shit presidential candidate like Bernie or Yang easier to elect. I guess compulsory voting isn’t so great after all LOL
Friendly reminder that the discovery and colonization of the New World was the greatest redistribution of land from a small aristocracy to the common man ever performed
You have got to be fucking stupid, I'm also from Australia and im telling you right now the majority of our population is climate change denying liberal supporters who wont budge. You arent just talking about a difference in trivial opinion, you are talking about a catastrophic event that could collapse most of our civilization, and here you are saying that letting morons vote in this event is the correct answer, fuck that and fuck you
People who say shit like this have absolutely no idea the complexity or nuance behind what they're calling a fact. Which is kind of hilarious because you'll find redditors vying for extreme methods, like reducing the voting population, for an idea they've just been told is correct without really understanding it. Kind of makes you think 🤔🤔🤔.
I'm not even a rightoid, I just hate the hypocrisy of retards who laugh at retarded flat-earther's without understanding any of the evidence showing the world as a sphere. You're not smart for just going along with whatever group you think has authority on a subject.
so your trusting a video that could be totally made up.
as an amateur pilot i have certainly seen the curve of the earth with my own two eyes. I am just wondering how a poor who can't afford a pilots license does it.
"Whoa galaxy brain... Oof. Have fun bootlicking Nazi Germany" [+ infinity]
Like shut the fuck up, you don't know why Trump is bad, you just see other le redditors doing it and want in on the fun. None of these fuckers really care what goes on in Washington.
Unironically I wish the USA's polls required a literacy test and some form of ID. Like why the fuck should someone be allowed to vote if they can't even read? How are they going to make a good choice?
As a male virgin, I am constantly fucking baffled by stories about guys refusing to return the favour. I fucking dream about eating pussy every night, I really don't understand how there are guys out there who won't even try to pleasure their girl. If a girl ever actually wanted to have sex with me (Never going to fucking happen but hypothetically) I would do every single thing in my power to make sure they had the best time possible. Why are all these selfish douches out there getting laid while I'm borderline suicidal because I can't find just one single fucking girl on the planet who wants me?
Sounds about right. "I am so vile and repulsive that no girl will touch me, but I'm so smart and correct that I want to take people's voting rights away for wrongthink."
If climate scientists seize dictatorial power and in doing so avert the extinction of humanity, it will be well justified. People who deny climate change are the enemies of humanity who want to murder your children, why should those who want to destroy the right of everyone be given rights themselves?
Suppose you read about a new piece of research which suggests that climate change isn’t that bad at all. It might even be good! These researchers have the best possible credentials: Harvard all the way, yadda yadda. The good news was about to make your whole day.
Then you looked more closely. These “scientists” were actually funded by Exxon. Oops, sorry for forwarding that. Clearly, as they say in Italian football, è pagato. Well—anyone can turn to the dark side.
Actually you are wrong about this—but also still right. Exxon has class. No one with class would ever just pay a scientist for useful results. No scientist with class would ever sell them. Yet your basic perception remains basically correct.
Loyalty is an emotion, not a reason. “I pay my taxes because the police will come to my house” is not a political formula, because it is not an aesthetic or emotional bond. “I pay my taxes because the money supports good works” is a political formula. (Which does not prove it false.)
The scientists funded by Exxon are loyal to Exxon. This is not a business transaction; it is an emotional attachment. Largesse is not a loan. Loyalty is not a debt.
Even if these scientists are as capable and honest as any saint, their aesthetic judgment is tilted. It is inevitable that they will perceive data which supports their patrons’ interests as clear and representative, and data which opposes these interests as noisy and misleading.
They may only pursue hypotheses favorable to their patron. They may only report data which supports their hypotheses. In these or a thousand other unconscious ways, these scientists will tend to generate only papers which are corporate formulas for Exxon.
The sensible response is not to debug their work, just ignore it. Science should not have a conflict of interest. (Exxon, in real life, has long since recognized the futility of this effort.) We can just say: never trust content from ExxonMobil.
Other scientists of the same caliber are actually working on the same problem. Their funding comes not from Exxon, but NOAA. It is not corporate, but sovereign.
Well, that’s all right! But—wait: Where the interests of NOAA are concerned, the relevance of climate change is, if anything, more apparent. NOAA has a budget process. This research is at least as relevant to NOAA’s cashflow as to Exxon’s.

Maybe they are onto something with restricting the right to vote.
1 ironicshitpostr 2019-12-11
Bring back the property requirement
I'm pretty progressive tho
Widows should retain their husband's vote if they have a son until he reaches majority
1 OnlyRacistOnReddit 2019-12-11
That is pretty progressive.
1 BernieMadeoffSanders 2019-12-11
Im not sure about that.
Maybe 3/5th of a vote
1 ironicshitpostr 2019-12-11
70% of a vote

1 wow___justwow 2019-12-11
is there more evidence needed than we went into space and saw that it wasn't flat?
1 totally_not_ac3 2019-12-11
Yeah, you can prove with math on the ground without requiring going to space.
1 wow___justwow 2019-12-11
or just fly a plane in a straight line for 24 hrs?
1 BernieMadeoffSanders 2019-12-11
you have done those things?
1 wow___justwow 2019-12-11
no, but i just got done watching a video of a hot air balloon going 1.7 miles up. Earth is undeniably curved from that elevation, no math necessary.
1 BernieMadeoffSanders 2019-12-11
so your trusting a video that could be totally made up.
as an amateur pilot i have certainly seen the curve of the earth with my own two eyes. I am just wondering how a poor who can't afford a pilots license does it.
1 wow___justwow 2019-12-11
lol
1 BernieMadeoffSanders 2019-12-11
so the video of drunk Nancy Pelosi is deepfaked, but a picture of literally a curve is $200% legit
galaxy level take
1 wow___justwow 2019-12-11
dude i wanna see a deepfaked vid of shitfaced nancy, link it
1 totally_not_ac3 2019-12-11
I mean yeah technically, but if you can prove it without doing that, it destroys flat earthers arguments even more
