"Everything old is new again" and such. Just wild.

New ideas can be dangerous and scary to half-wits who think all of this (gestures vaguely at everything) is the "best that we can do" and work to maintain a status quo that primarily benefits them.
It's infuriating, but I understand where this selfish, xenophobic cowardice originates from.

And there it is: blocked without engaging. What a fragile ego.
Stephen *could* be advocating for a new UK-only platform, if his concerns were grounded in reality, but instead he's trying to co-opt an international platform. How very British of him.

Add in the reprehensible "national security" faux defense in the follow up skeet, and it's hard to see this clown as anything but a racist shit-stirrer.
MoFo is happy to collect overseas royalties on his shows and books, but dogforbid those same people actually speak!

You'll forgive me, I hope, if I tell you that I truly couldn't care less about whatever dumbass, unhinged image you have of me rattling around in your noggin.
I'm not an exploiter, but I'd never hire anyone who has such a casual relationship with reality, much less a serial liar.
Bye.

Not "furious" enough to get rid of your false binary, though. You understand that's what has gotten us here, yes?
"Let's continue to vote for the people doing things I don't like, because the 'other' side does more things I don't like" perfectly encapsulates #bluemaga. Good job.

She clearly isn't bothered when Democratic presidents circumvent Congress: it's just bad when Republicans do it! #makeitmakesense #ohrighttribalism

So, you claim to be "educated enough," but you either don't recognize (or more likely, don't care) that capitalism is an inherently exploitative economic model. Of course you're in favor of it: you're, by definition, exploiting your employees.
You can't "evade" what has been in place for centuries.

You were given evidence that this is a lie, but you dismissed it, apparently because you've spent years studying statistical analysis.
I'd like to introduce you to something called the Electoral College. Read up on it and then you'll see why arguments about "total # of votes" are meaningless.

Income inequality is not why we have never had a true democracy in this country (unless you're arguing that the Continental Congress should have included non-elites, which you aren't), so I'm once again not surprised at this non-sequitor in lieu of defending your opinions with facts.

Astounding rebuttal. Exactly what I'd expect from someone who gets so mad at their own ignorance that they threaten physical harm on others.
Sorry you're not educated enough to hang in this conversation, I guess?

But that's centrist analysis for you: create a false binary, demand everyone else exist only in that sandbox, and then blame those same voters who refuse to play your warped version of "democracy."
The US is, and has been since its inception, a constitutional republic. It ain't a democracy.

"A requirement to vote" would be the single biggest middle finger to the First Amendment in decades.
Never mind that you're 100% wrong with this amateur vibes check on the 24 election: the idea that disengaged and disenfranchised voters would vote the way you want them to is staggeringly ignorant.

Olivier and Branagh did full-length movie adaptations, and watching them, it's easy to see why a reduced version appeals to modern audiences. There's a whole lot of pontificating going on.

I definitely know scholars and producers who rank Hamlet "as is" lower, but it's all subjective, right?
