If you surround yourself with white supremists and take counsel from them.
If the policies you pass are inherently racist.
If you cannot condone the brutal murder by a white supremist at Charlottsvile.
If you cannot call the massacre of black church goers by a white rascist as a terror attack.

Then quite simply you are a racist white supremist, your attempt to defend him is laughable, if Trump is not the epitomy of a globalist what is?

Seems all logic and reasoning is lost on Trump supporters, why not step up and admit who and what you are:

“Hello my name is Donald Trump and I am a racist, mysoginistic, elitist with very very small hands”

I can guarantee I will never look back and think how wrong I was about Trump, I am so right and keep getting more right everytime he opens his stupid trout mouth

Now that we’re being friendly, we all seem to have lost all interest. Das Thread ist dead.

Maybe there’s a reason God made THREAD an anagram of HATRED.

Come back, BBD, you ugly hatemonger! All is forgiven

My impression is that modern “courage” has something to do with possessing the balls or ovaries to speak power to truth. Is that the semantic shift you had in mind?

Emerson could have given his essay a catchier title: ‘Courages.’

Nothing sells like a hapax legomenon.

The burning question is whether there is a milk of human kindness; a buttery milk expressed by mothers to newborn babes; an ivory milk of perennial wetnurses; a milk of the poppy; and a diversity of soy products marketed as milks.

Looking around I also found this from Emerson’s essay ‘Courage’:

There is a courage of the cabinet as well as a courage of the field; a courage of manners in private assemblies, and another in public assemblies; a courage which enables one man to speak masterly to a hostile company, whilst another man who can easily face a cannon’s mouth dares not open his own….There is a courage of a merchant in dealing with his trade,….There is a courage in the treatment of every art by a master,….”

I think the explanation lies in the changed meaning of the word in the 1800s versus today.

BTW, just because a noun lacks physical existence does not make it an abstraction. Imaginary creatures are considered concrete nouns even though they don’t actually exist.

So the compound noun ‘climate change denier,’ a signifier without a referent, is nevertheless concrete.

Got it 😉

BTW, I reckon it’s safe to use each other’s given names now that the toxic element has recused itself from the conversation. Isn’t it pleasant!

(Or awes of both.)

I’m in awe of both of you!

While ‘courage’ and ‘milk’ are both uncountable, if we’re categorizing nouns they are still distinct in that ‘courage’ is abstract and ‘milk’ concrete.

BTW, just because a noun lacks physical existence does not make it an abstraction. Imaginary creatures are considered concrete nouns even though they don’t actually exist. Seasons, OTOH, are abstractions. Unicorns are concrete, but winter is an abstraction.

Trivially easy to game.

My admonitions about professional guidance aside, that you feel the necessity to lie to yourself reflects the fact that the only person that you fool is yourself.

In so many ways Brad Keys you’re ‘not right’.

We’re all watching you astonished that you are hell-bent on spending hours upon hours reinforcing this, again and again and again.
