So you find it trivial for someone to only care about the people within their race but not for people to only care about the people in their country. I see.

Is it trivial though? Where one's from forms what's of importance to them. If someone thinks race is what sets us apart I'd have to disagree with them but I wouldn't call it trivial.

This is it. It's absolutely unbelievable to me. He doesn't believe that a fake wrestling company accepting millions of dollars, millions of dollars from someone would spread a false message, but journalists trying to earn a reputation by reflecting the world are likely to be spreading "fake news."

It used to be cool to check a report's sources and be critical of the media. But it's now be degraded to putting your fingers in your ears and hummng hymns while things literally explode in front of your eyes. There's a difference between being critical of your sources and checking to see how valid they are and just writing things off as "fake news" because they question the fucking President.

Many people would say the biggest thing that sets us apart is not where we're born but our race. And instead of caring about everyone they only care about their race. Those people are assholes.


I've never gotten nationalism at all. You don't get a choice of where you're born. You're lucky. You can appreciate the benefits of your country, like the right to security, education and healthcare, but you don't do anything to achieve those. It's not something to thump your chest over and high-five your friends about.

There's also no good reason to ignore the suffering of people who live in places that don't have even parodies of those things, just because they weren't as lucky as you.

Of course you can't worry about all the things in the world all the time. Humans are really good at cognitive dissonance, and that's not even a bad thing, otherwise our heads would explode. But it doesn't mean you can't focus on an issue and say "that's fucking awful." Just like I can look at North Korea and say "that's fucking awful." Why is that even a point being brought up?

Not true. Environment helps form, but a lot of other factors are going to go into that too. Sometimes people reject where they are from. Some people recognize it as arbitrary. The idea that you have to chain yourself to your point of origin is a decision you've made, possibly head drummed into your head since you were a kid and all that, but that you say it as if being in a geographical spot is the overriding factor in how you conduct yourself as a human being does get the root of the issue a lot quicker than your dancing around #1-wwf-fan's questions.

You're talking about cultural relativism, and you've completely taken it out of context and should consider taking a sociology course yourself (I'm sure you can find free lectures online). Cultural relativism is simply a framework for looking at cultures that doesn't place significance on the western way of living as superior. It stops looking at hunter-gatherer tribes as "primitive" because they don't see their purpose in life to accumulate wealth or own a PlayStation (although they might think PlayStations are great).

It's a useful tool for not placing different cultures on a scale of "bad" to "good" based on inherent bias towards your own culture. It's nowhere near the same thing as criticizing a dictator dealing with US money to abuse human rights and oppress a culture.

There's a difference between watching your drink beer and thinking my scotch is better and smashing you over the head with my glass and waterboarding you with scotch.

I don't think you understand what fake news is. It's not just the news groups on the left that question the President. It's the ones on the right as well that support him. There's truth in it but it is spread throughout bias bullshit trying to form your opinion. News should provide you the facts and let you form an opinion of it but that's not how it is today.

I never said it showed them as super progressive. It showed they were taking some steps which is true.

In the video, Michael Cole said "Saudi Arabia is a progressive nation." I don't know if it was that verbatim. But that was the message. "They are progressive." They are not. They are lies. You fell for them. That is why this is so disgusting. They help influence the opinion of the people who can't pick up a newspaper without getting confused so they can keep lying to people by saying they are taking steps when they still cut off women's heads, lock them up for protesting and hunt down journalists who criticize them for it. I feel like I've said this 800 times in this thread.

Because of dummies, yeah, dummies, yeah it's an awful thing WWE are going to go and do this thing, because it's not just disgusting on the face; but when it comes to certain types of people it actually works. And make no mistake about it, Fan, they could have gotten him in the United States too. Turkey is not a fan of this regime. They got him in a Saudi embassy. There are cars and saws in the US too.

Hahaha, no. I don't think you understand what fakes news is.

Journalism doesn't need to be unbiased, and it never is. That doesn't mean it's fake. You can get the news from that and leave the political opinion at the door. It's critical reading.

"5 dead in explosion" is not fake news. "Women sentenced to death in Saudi Arabia" is not fake news. They don't...make shit up. They can get duped and have political biases, but that doesn't change core facts of many stories. "Trump sells weapons to horrific regime" is not fake news just because it has a tinge of sting to it. What *is* fake is saying that the country is getting better when it is not.

You're actually being worked more by this fake news/pro-WWE stuff than you would be if you were just a "mark." Hell, "fake news" is a Trump buzzword he created so people would disregard any negative story that comes out about him. You fell for it.
