actually, assumptions are required to make deductions.
basic rule of inference.
there's nothing shameful with being wrong in your assumptions, either. what's important is that you state them at the start, so that the reader knows what they are.
they are, after all, assumptions. they are required. but, they are also arbitrary.
i mean, if you think that you can present to me an argument that is void of assumptions, be prepared for me to find one.
that's ok. as mentioned: assumptions are necessary. what's important is knowing where they are.

the american white woman remains amongst the most (mentally) enslaved people on the planet
while racism lingers, the actual economic system of slavery was abolished. the economic system of patriarchy (marriage) continues to exist.
it is white women that have this enforced through culture more strongly than any other women. and, you hear it if you pay attention. you see it. even amongst those who gain power as they advance through their lives.
privilege, for the white woman, is something that is taught in the private schools of the upper classes. you're born into it through wealth, but it must be taught. you don't inherit it with skin colour. and not everybody learns it.
but, to the poor white woman, the white woman born without status or wealth, those mental chains are daunting. wealth itself will not break them, it will only lead to insane decisions. that mirror must be held up, first.

bicycles are way sexier than motorcycles. sorry.
work it, bitch.
no, really.
motorcycles are gross. the exhaust is flat out disgusting, ok? in my ideal city, there would be an absolute ban.
have you ever been walking down the street and got stuck with a lung full of motorcycle exhaust? it's up there with the most disgusting things one could possibly think of.
like, falling in dog shit.
worse, is they think they're "cool".
so, no motorcycles. yuck. gross.
bicycles, on the other hand, are a workout. upper body, too. when you see somebody ride by on a bicycle, you know they exercise. you know they're in good shape. and, you'll probably get a nice smell, too.
i mean, compare smells.
a) motorcycle: exhaust fume.
b) bicycle: pheromones.
which sounds more attractive?
not everybody is going to agree with me. but, the smart ones will.

this is going to backfire, but let's say it doesn't. what does he want? a general strike?
you can't turn the clock back on abortion. you'll get riots. mass civil disobedience. the doctors will keep doing it. the marches will be unheard of.
it's always been an empty threat, for that reason.

j reacts to the idea of canada on the united nations security council
why? so we can vote with the americans on every issue? and, think about what might happen if we don't. we should be avoiding this....there's better ways to have influence than to baldly challenge the hegemon.

also, it would be useful to acknowledge that the rise of all of this xenophobia is a consequence of the failure of the free trade regime, rather than pretend the answer is more of the problem.

j reacts to the deplorables comment
clinton does not appear to be taking the election seriously.
she needs to talk policy. this is a stupid strategy.
when your opponent is donald trump, and you seem like the bigger clown?
it's pathetic.
hate the guy, but he's out there laying down a platform. she's avoiding reporters and calling people names.
this is starting to look more and more like 2000.
is she trying to lose?
is that it? did she win the nomination, only to hand the presidency to the republicans (who she usually agrees with more)?
forget about trump working for clinton. right now, it looks more like clinton is working for trump.
"clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right,"
"Clinton’s remarks drew comparisons to rhetoric from former failed Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, who pointed to the 47 percent of America that were just looking for a handout from the government."
they're right.
what a buffoon...

it doesn't matter if it's true. she's trying to win an election. that means, she wants at least a couple of those people to vote for her.
"you're deplorable. can i count on your vote?"
fucking dipshit...
no. no. listen. it doesn't matter where you stand on the spectrum. it doesn't matter who you support. this is an objectively stupid thing to stand up and say in front of the press.

i had the view count disabled...
57,000? what?
i have 4,000 views on youtube, guys. that's a pretty dramatic difference. you know i have a youtube page, right?
or a bandcamp site? in the description. pinned, even.
i got about 250,000 views with my dtk account over roughly two years (and 40,000 views on youtube). i've got 50,000 k here in almost a year, but only 4,000 views on youtube. that's half as much traffic, but a tenth of the views.
i get that my vlogs may be less interesting than my music. but, i want you to go to bandcamp to listen. youtube is useless to me, as a musician.
i'm more curious about why i have 60,000 views. what are people coming here for? the political analysis?
ok, you guys know these are only sketches, right? that the real political analysis is in the videos, right? i'm not just reading things verbatim. that is where i have the really interesting discussions of things, not here.
but, on another note? you could try interacting a little bit. i don't bite. well, at least not unless you ask.
(i actually do bite :P)
no, really. 60,000 views but no comments? c'mon. let me know who you are....
i mean, i suppose i could starting posting videos here, but that would be kind of silly, wouldn't it? every day, guys. 12:30 am...
