That was the most messed up part of it. Come on. The guy who pulled Vader, after all the evil shit he's done, back to the light side now almost kills his nephew because of the stuff he might do in the future? And then when things go south he just goes away and doesn't do anything to make up for his mistake, to help his friends, he literally leaves them all to die dealing with his mess? This is nothing, nothing like the Luke from the original trilogy. And no good reason for his decisions is ever given. Mark Hamill does his best to make this terrible material work (agains his better judgement too), but it's just wretched. Character assasination pure and simple.

This one's pretty good too.

So you're saying people complaining about Trump's character and his random day to day activities like its the cool thing to do is solely out of their concern for what he's doing in office, which they, not being political historians / analysts or even being from the US are educated enough to offer any valuable insight on? Yeah, that's BS. The reason I see is most social media being US-centric and most people on it being from the US, and people trying to sound cool on those platforms by un-constructively bashing Tump.

Seeing any war coming from Trump is delusional, IMO since all he seems to be interested in is economically isolating the US to improve its economy. And I doubt even he doesn't know a war is bad for his country's economy.

And I'm not defending Trump here, or anywhere. I'm asking how and why people would be interested or educated enough to talk about him the way they do without really backing up what they say. Because exceptional claims require exceptional evidence, and I don't see your fearmongering about him starting a war with any more credibility than when republicans said Hillary was going to start a war with Russia. Call it not having double standards.

Yours is not just a double standard, it's a bog standard double standard too.

Republican collaborators ( #notallrepublicans™) were badmouthing a seasoned diplomat with half a century worth of experience in keeping the peace. They were voting for an aggressive, choleric, megalomaniac, thin-skinned person that has been taunting the leaders of countries with nuclear weapons via twitter 24/7. That was indefensible.

As no American president has ever done any of that, we will assume that this is the "exceptional evidence" you're speaking of.

The idea that Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump were ever comparable in the threat they posed to world peace is plainly stupid. 40% of the content in the infowars thread consisted of this stupid idea. Even today, long after he has won the election, Trump can't stop campaigning against Hillary Clinton. He KNOWS he never deserved that victory, not by a long shot. The NRA and the Mercers are probably still wondering how the hell they managed to pull that off.

The idea that what Donald Trump does only has repercussions on America is dangerously stupid. Uttered TODAY of all days, the idea is dangerously and nauseatingly stupid, and borders on complicity. In less than six hours, the little shit could obliterate yet another pillar of peace in our world. If Trump breaks the Iran nuclear deal, you bet I'm going nuclear on his sorry ass. I'm letting it all out. And I don't give a shit whether you think of that as appropriate or well informed enough.

The idea that only US citizens are 'allowed' an informed opinion on Donald Trump is insulting and arrogant. His depravity is visible to all. There are just those who choose to close their eyes.

That is exactly what you do. With the bog standard whataboutism that has been with you since gamergate times. With finger pointing at false equivalences. With moral relativism. With "alternative facts". By crying "fake news". That is how you and millions of others attempt to defend Donald Trump.

It's not working.

I haven't laughed this hard for a long time,reading this crap.............yuk yuk yuk.
And then more laughs were added.........in an EDIT ABOVE! YUK YUK YUK...^^^^^^^^^^

First of all, you can stop the white-knigthing. Trump is a big boy, he doesn't need you to defend him (as you're really doing, even if you say you don't).
Second, he always knew he was campaigning to be in a role where the international attention is constant. Public scrutiny was a given.
Third, he's controversial (to say the least). Far more than any US prez before. If he doesn't like being told he's doing and saying dumb things (covfefe anyone?) maybe dialing down on dumb things might help.

Well in this case you should tell the guys that keep the Doomsday Clock that they're wrong, because in the time Trump is in office the clock advanced from 3 to 2 minutes to midnight. Two changes during Trump's term, both heavily Trump-related.

I don't care about any of Trump's internal decisions and I even laugh at his Mexican wall, but there's no denying he's terrible at diplomacy. I don't need to be american to judge that. News flash for you: rational people also live outside US borders. (Actually, some days it's hard to find them within US borders)
Oh and BTW, how can you be sure the people criticizing him are not political historians, analysts OR educated enough to offer any valuable insight? Sources, please.

Then again, whether you respond or not I'm outta here. The thread has been derailed so far I'm not interested in this line of conversation anymore. If you still wanna pursue this conversation and arguments there are political threads (now and again, until they get locked. But I digress). Or you could start one about this topic.

I'm not saying you have to be any sort of expert to criticise Trump, everyone is free to say what they like. But I find the creative use of adjectives and expletives, especially by people from other countries towards him to be strange. Maybe its because most people who take strong opinions of foreign leaders where I come from are very often conspiracy-believers that I find it to be weird. Either way, I don't think the ad-hominem attacks against him are really coming from well-informed people.

His tweets and his behaviour are what are pushing the world to nuclear war? I was expecting some huge change of policy he wants to pass that will make things objectively worse off. Like not negotiating until meeting a demand or other such humiliating terms. What has he done that has changed official policy?

And don't throw buzzwords at me, I didn't do or say any of what you complain of. The enemy you're looking for isn't here, and probably doesn't even exist.

I said it in the other post (which will probably be fused with this one) that I don't care about what people say about him, but that I find it strange how people who have seemingly nothing to do with the US or him trashing him in such infantile manner. Again, do it or not, I still find it strange, with the world's history of and current roster of fuckwit leaders that Trump would be the scapegoat of choice.

The clock is quantifying something that can't be inherently quantified, but either way, half of it is from Trump's denial of climate change. Not directly related to foreign policy or military actions, but dumb nonetheless.

But again, I'm just surprised by the level of vitriol against him. Hitler comparisons for politicians are quite common where I come from and the Trump hate just seems like more of the same immature exaggeration to me. Its still a guy in the office with the same powers as those his predecessors sat on, with no additional freedoms granted to him, yet somehow this guy so much worse than the others? As a person he seems really creepy / weird to me but so did Obama's vice-president, but barring amending the Constitution and making himself king, I don't think he can be that much worse than those who came before him.

Yeah my first response in this thread was a bit of an experiment. After quite a long hiatus, I was surprised to see open discussion of politics on the forum, considering the GG thread was closed after people cried about it. But apparently its only discussion of the wrong politics that they disliked and they're OK with flooding the forum with politics they agree with.

With the US as the world's largest superpower, cultural exporter (Hollywood!), CPU of all major IT (Amazon, Google...) and, let's be honest, biggest meddler in other countries affairs, there's almost nobody on this planet who hasn't got to do with the US.

But I totally agree that the personal attacks on Trump are infantile and not productive at all, just like the demonisation of Putin in western mainstream media.

That was hundreds of pages of stochastic terrorism, in which any opposing opinions were voted and screamed down by low intelligence life forms, many of whom thankfully left when that hole of shame was eventually sunk, and they left because the sole reason they even frequented this forum was to vomit hate, completely random targets and conspiracy crap into the gamergate thread. You called it a "reasonable discussion" even though you must have been aware how dozens of squealers in there shaped what must be considered the face of the movement. Back then, you employed the very same communicative strategy you're attempting now, always with the pointing finger on the disproportionately lesser evil and a completely blind eye to the real threat to real people. The difference is that you're defending only one person with your whataboutism now.

The twatwaffle withdrew from the Iran agreement like he withdrew from Melania during her pregnancy. And you can be certain that the only reason for chickening out was "because Obama". Whatever US president comes next, his or her diplomacy skills will have to be literally superhuman to make up for all the shit that Trump dumps on the entire world.
