Okay... take the Lebanese then? Great people, awesome food, historically recent experience in multiculturalism. What's not to like?

Greeks would have been enough, there was no need to sample the whole ottoman territory to get decent kebabs.

If you get hit in the head by a pudgey 17 year old Illinois resident, you'll still go down and die.

They're buying helmets too... Hey, I think they do protect agains headshots in some videogame.

My hash dealer, yes I smoked, big deal,

Not saying that sweden would be all unicorns farting rainbows without the drug trade, but lets be honest here.

Fuck the libs, sure, but don't pretend you didnt financially contribute to the gang wars part of the shitshow of your own free will. Those grenades were bought with your money too.

So fucking tired of people who create the consumer base for the illegal drug market then deplore the gang wars it creates.

Go smoke your shit where its legal and vote for legalization if that's your thing - I have zero issues with that. But dont complain that financing illegal organizations results in said organizations being more active.

You can't kill an idea,

Sounds like survival bias to me.

I stopped supporting them after they hired some kind of manhating spinster. Forgot the name. Maybe it was this one. Don't remember the exact details - quit a while ago.

What, not even the wet market where it supposedly all started?

They also complain about him going to a right wing think tank. Obviously, a soviet defector should've run to the CPUSA instead. Or something.

We're not the ones who accepted re-written passages of Mein Kampf.

As a publishable scientific result. I donnt think even the author saw it that way. That's arguably even worse.

On mobile, cant watch, but i'm expecting them to pull an "akshually Drumpf is the mastermind of the infiltration" twist. After a "Madam President" in a MW that looks suspiciously like a certain candidate, I'm not expecting much.

Good. This isnt going to convince anyone its targeting (i.e. people who don't want to do the training), only make them more bitter, resentful, angry and confused. Indoctrination only works if people are willing to listen. You are going to need way more than a couple hours' worth of class to break them into being willing to listen.

This shows only one thing. Facebook is clearly racist and sexist against the poor woman.

Assange would never happen - it would bring the "muh russians" story back into the media cycle with too much fodder. Snowden maybe, but probably not, for the same reason.

I'm literally shaking right now.

Thats normal. Helicopters always shake a bit on takeoff.

How often do they live next to them?

All those I've known have rather extended families they religiously keep track of. They can't not know. Maybe its sample bias on my part.

That answer sounds too absolute and simplistic to be correct, IMO. Totally subjective opinion here.

It makes zero evolutionary sense to topple a power structure that you're largely at the top of.

Not saying I have a better explanation, but I'm not convinced by this one. Its like saying gravity comes from gravity gremlins. Maybe, I don't know how it works, but it just doesnt pass my sniff test.

People like Eric Weinstein explain why all the time: Jews frequently consider themselves "strangers in a strange land" and therefore are sympathetic to other outsider groups and as a result advocate for inclusive "big tent" policies.

And people ignore it because it is damn hard to believe. They're suposed to be smart, how come they can't see that there is no redeeming themselves in the eyes of their sworn enemies? This really sounds like the kind of explanation you don't even believe yourself, that you spit out when you feel like you have to say something. If anything, Weinstein sounds like he's trying to convince himself when he says that.
