1919 - years before Mein Kampf:

Plainly racist statements about Jews as a race. Not as "extreme" as his later views, but viciously anti-Semitic and drawing a clear distinction between the Aryan race and the Jewish race, with Jews as an enemy race that needs to be stopped.

Trump is less than a year away from becoming leader of his country, and has never given any public statements that are so plainly racist.

As much as I wish that Tibet could be free, this policy is dangerously out of touch with reality.

inflammatory remarks regarding the integrity of Mexican immigrants

He was specifically referring to illegal immigration, not legal immigrants.

some pretty unsettling things regarding limiting immigration based on religious beliefs

While troubling, limiting immigration is not the same as oppressing American citizens.

I think the point stands that Hitler had extreme beliefs but couched them in fairly agreeable terms early in his career.

From the start, Hitler was making viciously anti-Semitic speeches that hated upon all Jewish as a race. Trump isn't even close to that level.

When people on the left compare Trump to Hitler, they just add fuel to the fire. His supporters see every Hitler comparison as more proof of how the establishment is desperate and out of touch with reality.

Hitler tried to deal with Germany's "undesirables" (undesirable according to his own twisted ideology, of course.) He didn't jump straight to the top-shelf gas chambers. One of the first things he tried was getting the rest of the world to accept them as some weird combination of immigrants and refugees.

Regarding Mexico, Trump's "twisted ideology" is the existing laws in the United States regarding legal immigration.

The "undesirables" are foreign citizens who have broken that law.

His "proposal" is to enforce the immigration laws that exist. In other words, do exactly what countless non-Nazi countries around the world do on a daily basis - deport foreign citizens who have violated immigration law.

It isn't anything like Hilter's deportation of the Jews. German Jews were citizens of German. Trump would never have the power to deport American citizens.

I saw the debate. Slogans are different from the "dispel" repetition, which exposed Rubio as carefully prepping canned answers for that previous debate.

DBBrennan · 3日前

Trump repeated the same answer to the same question.

Rubio got mocked for repeating the same empty soundbite about Barack Obama to a variety of different questions, in a single debate.

Rubio, to his credit, got a lot of coaching for this debate. They probably prepared him to ask the same question over and over in a way that would force Trump into repeating himself, so he could use this prepared comeback.

I can't say that it looks better or more detailed than the other GOP candidates' have said about their alternatives to Obamacare, but he has mentioned some details beyond opening up state insurance monopolies to competition.

I think Rubio and Cruz took a page from his playbook in that regard.

There was hardly a Trump answer that wasn't being interrupted by one of them. They are fighting hard.

Yosoff · 3日前

And Rubio and Cruz have talked over Trump.

CNN lets it happen for the ratings.

Qu1nlan · 3日前

The same question gets the same answer.

I don't really think Trump's health care plan is particularly good, but Rubio's in the pocket of the pharma/healthcare lobbyists.

If Clinton steamrolls the nomination despite the obvious struggle and leg-up that Sanders has, it will totally disenfranchise several more generations of young voters.

I do not like Clinton, but so far, Clinton isn't steamrolling anything - she is winning fair elections. And in SC and on Super Tuesday, she is expected to win most of the states.

She doesn't need to steamroll - she is on her way to easily beat Sanders in a fair vote.

upon cessation of hostilities.

The radical Islamist "war" on America has not ended, and will probably never end, so that basically means they should be imprisoned for their entire lives.

I've been on a private tracker for years and had a friend use my account and they received a DMCA notice off of it a few months later.

This was in Japan? How "private" was the private tracker?

Even in Japan, you'll find people who think it's risky for a woman to walk around alone at night.

That doesn't mean that a society's view of a drunk woman walking alone at night is "100% NOT related to religion." Especially in countries where religion has a powerful place in society/culture.

As you say, "most modern Christian and Jewish sects have learned to handle these things better."

So today - in 2016 - is it completely fair to point out how a specific religion [Islam] has not undergone the changes that those other two religions underwent. This makes the influence of that specific religion very relevant to discussions taking place in 2016.

If we were "in the past" - it would be totally fair to make the same points about Christianity and Judaism that many people are making about Islam today. I would definitely not want some guys from a 12th century Christian country as my neighbors, and I would definitely see their religious beliefs as a bad influence on their treatment of women.

It's definitely 100% NOT related to religion.

Whether religion is the main influence is debatable, but it is definitely related to religion. Islam has had an impact on the culture of those countries and what people see as "moral" and "immoral" behavior, and the social status of women.

gang rapes are a-okay back in their home towns.

In one job I had a co-worker from a Muslim majority country. He was married to a Japanese woman, but was uncomfortable allowing her to go out by herself, even to the grocery store.

He said that women do not go out by themselves in his country. Even if they are just going to the grocery store, they need to be accompanied by their husband or a male relative.

He said that any woman who does not follow that "common sense" rule in his country would "put herself in danger." No woman with "morals" would do it. And women who drink alcohol are particularly seen as immoral.

Obviously gang rape is not "a-okay" in any country, but in some countries, women who walk alone drunk at night are looked down upon as loose women who are "asking for it."

Why is there a pressing need to send yet another manned mission to the moon?

It's was enormously expensive to send 6 manned missions to the moon. It's far more cost effective to send unmanned rovers to the moon, and that has been done over the years - with China landing their own rover on the moon a few years ago.

There's also no Cold War space race with the USSR anymore, so no pressure to spend huge amounts of money quickly to "beat" the Russians to the moon.

NASA has half the budget today that it did in the 1960's. A lot of space research since the 1970's has been focused on practical and commercially/militarily useful stuff - such as satellite technology.

Given Japanese conformity you would expect either huge swaths of people believing the hoax theory or close to zero.

Why would Japanese conformity matter? I don't think there is any sort of societal pressure in Japan to share the same opinion about the moon landing.

Doesn that mean the Nanking Massacre didn't exist as the J-govt said?

Actually, by your logic, the Nanking Massacre didn't exist. Because the Japanese government has officially recognized that it did happen.

Habidaccus · 7日前

Common enough that you meet people who think that, usually from watching stuff on variety TV shows, but I wouldn't say that a majority of people think it was a hoax.

(As we can see from this thread, there are even some moon landing truthers on Reddit.)

Russian state media is doing its job and trying to discourage countries from using nuclear energy.

Less nuclear plants in Japan = more consumption of gas, and more money for Russia.
