Opinion: Trump’s UN Address Was a Tragedy of Shakespearian Proportions
On Tuesday, September 23, U.S. President Donald Trump gave a rambling speech before the United Nations General Assembly. And at times, he was vehemently critical of the UN for a variety of reasons, from their immigration policies to green energy.Here are six of the wildest moments from Trump's UN sp...
he's off kilter that's for sure.
@markus_quandt Media's job is to report facts, as best they can, and that includes the facts that deranged people in prominent positions might say deranged things. If a PM said the Moon is made of cheese, that's newsworthy, even though it's not true. News ANALYSIS -- a different media role from REPORTING -- evaluates statements and claims, but that role is necessarily separate.
There should indeed be much more sober analysis, I agree.
@ChaosInThoughts Honestly, if he'd just cut a loud fart, that would have been more meaningful and informative.
Pretty much NOTHING he says has any worth or meaning, ever.
@petergleick although I think it is worth mentioning, that cry baby instable sourpuss weakass FOTUS is responsible for the "bad elevator and bad teleprompter" he whined about like a little bitch.
@Ilka4You @petergleick lol "right in the middle."
Assholes hadn't even stepped onto it yet. Even his lies have lies in them.
Hello? Media?
We need a new category to even describe what usa has become.
a 6th rate country developing backwards
towards resurrecting the worst epidemics of the dark age and under rule of a demented perverse and totally insane dictator.
it is becoming what the founders wanted.
No not them woke ones that wrote the snowflake constitution.
The ones at Plymouth Rock who came looking for somewhere where they could oppress everyone else because of their religeous misogyny, Homophobia, racism and bigotry.
@Kerplunk I would use 'retrograde', a term from astrology and astronomy for the apparent reverse (backwards) motion of an object. While retrograde motion is a parallax illusion in sky observations, its metaphorical meaning is "going backwards", which is what astrologers originally assumed.
Something 'retrograde' is something that is going backwards from the course it had before. That aptly describes the track the US is on right now. We are reversing reforms of the last 50-100 years.
@qkslvrwolf I would define 'real media' as that which is preferred by the public, which they are not compelled to regard. This view emphasizes the democratic market of ideas, and the public's role in making free choices.
It's too easy to demonize media, as if they order us about; they do not. That's a cop-out that inappropriately lets We the People off the hook. The problem is that too many citizens are dumb cows who don't want to have to think for themselves.
@qkslvrwolf If your argument is that the vast majority of voters are unthinking cows, you won't get any disagreement with me. But you can't child-proof democracy.
At some point, legal adults have to take responsibility for themselves.
@wesdym No, my argument is that individuals cannot magic think themselves out of living in the environment that's been constructed around them, and blaming them is a dead fucking end where nothing changes and everyone hates each other.
Put the blame where it belongs: on the billionaires who found democracy's achilles heel, which is that with technology they can pay for multiple orders of magnitude more disinformation than good people can counteract.
@wesdym It's brandolini's law: It takes an order of magnitude more effort to debunk disinformation than to produce it.
The only way to fix that is to shut of the source of disinformation. The only way to do that is distinguish paid speech from free speech.
@qkslvrwolf Oh, look, it's Reply Guy.
Sorry, dude, my 'bored enough to sit up all night listening to self-appointed Jello Biafra wannabe days are over'.
Bye.
@qkslvrwolf But they're not mugging us for the money they have to have. We CHOOSE to pay them. We don't have to.
At the bottom of this entire food chain are hordes of people who just don't want to have to be inconvenienced in any way in order for anything to be better.
And that's their free choice. But I wish they were more honest with themselves and others about it.
@wesdym I mean, that's like saying "oh, don't like cars? don't drive" in a country where the infrastructure is nearly entirely built around cars and not driving one excludes you from society (torturous) and can literally get you killed. It's just an insane point of view.
Individual choice cannot make structural changes. Collective action is required to change the structure.
@qkslvrwolf 'Collective action' in this case is enough people choosing what's better for them over what's easier.
Now, if you have some suggestion for how to FORCE them to do that, maybe that's a plan. Until then, you either accept democracy for the mess that it is, or you propose a different system that imposes what you'd prefer. Just be prepared for the pushback. Because an awful lot of people DO NOT give a shit, believe me. I'll be the first to agree they should, but they just don't.
