Weird what happens when you let in communities who aren't tolerant towards others.

Who are you kidding? Nobody is tolerant toward anyone who isn't on "their team" nowadays. This goes for right and left. Tribalism is out of control.

Twice as many companies paying zero taxes under Trump tax plan
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act lowered the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent. In its first year, the number of companies paying no taxes went from 30 to

The identified companies were "able to zero out their federal income taxes on $79 billion in U.S. pretax income," according to the ITEP report, which was released today. "Instead of paying $16.4 billion in taxes, as the new 21 percent corporate tax rate requires, these companies enjoyed a net corporate tax rebate of $4.3 billion, blowing a $20.7 billion hole in the federal budget last year." To compile the list, ITEP analyzed the 2018 financial filings of the country's largest 560 publicly-held companies.

I do give some credit to trump for helping small business. But it should be noted that he really did the good ol' help small business while helping big business more maneuver.

Stalin’s Approval Rating Among Russians Hits Record High – Poll

Stalin’s image has been gradually rehabilitated in the 2000s from that of a bloody autocrat to an “outstanding leader.” President Vladimir Putin has revived the Soviet anthem, Soviet-style military parades and a Soviet-era medal for labor during his presidency.

You can't blame him for wanting the anthem back IMO

That isn't political tribalism in the video.

That's actual hatred for trans people.

People may disagree with the timing of transitioning or the number of genders, but they don't attack trans people in the streets like that.

We all come from a tolerant, liberal, civilized western society.

The people in the crowd were Algerian.

They don't hold those same values as we do.

Didn't watch the video since I only come to these forums while stuck at my desk at work, so I only responded to your comment in the general sense and not in specific reference to the video.

I suppose on the spectrum of tolerance, there are less tolerant people than alt-righters. So in that sense, sure, you're "more tolerant" than the people you refer to. You're "not as bad as those other guys", even though the increasing normalization of intolerant speech is emboldening people to act on their garbage ideas.

Also, I didn't say political tribalism. I suppose I did reference right and left there, but I was referring to the general tribalism of social groups becoming (seemingly) more vitriolic and violent toward other/competing groups. Tribalism can be political, racial, social, economic, etc.

You've been given enough evidence.

You should know by now.

letting a tiger into your house isn't smart, but that isn't a good analogy for a number of reasons. First, while many or even most of those living in the house may be pro-tiger-cohabitation, some are not. Surely they are not deserving of assault by said tiger. Second, it has become increasingly evident to me throughout my life that people are generally incapable of caring for themselves or making good decisions absent subjugation to an omnipotent authority be it conscience, social taboo or a police state. conscience died with god, taboo is dying in the continued glut of individualism and we will have a police state.

First of all, I'm not a white nationalist, so I'm not Alt-Right.

It's simple, people...white nationalist = alt-right.

You're whining about tribalism while taking part in it.

Because you're prioritizing people who you don't personally like over people who are physically attacking others.

What's worse? Having bad opinions or attacking people in the streets for being different?

A normal person would answer "attacking people in the streets".

You're arguing for "bad opinions".

So take your tribalism and go fuck yourself [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'd bet my dick that the victim is pro-tiger-cohabitation.

France and Europe in general are pro-tiger-cohabitation.

The police are afraid to arrest tigers as they don't want to be labeled "anti-tiger".

So you have a community being mauled by tigers and no one wants to admit they were wrong.

Fuck em.

Enjoy your tranny-beating streets, Europoors.

Dinotriz u post way to much here to be a healthy poster. I wish there was a support group I could bring u too where u would feel gud about urself for seeking help.

P.S. Ya those algerians are hard NP complex losers so are a lot of anyone who gets all psycho about gay dumb shit that is just basically way less important than say. The economy and billionrions of retail stores collapsing under amazons giant dragon belly and liek our fucking health care being governed by politicians and corporate lobbies not doctors and patients. Liek those are the biggest deals and we should be indoctrinating ALgeria into that but we can't even indoctrinate Floribama into that.
