yes, it’s for you
the funny thing about that David Brooks piece is an uneducated lower class person having a crisis over deli food with fancy immigrant names like “baguette” and going to normal honest American food, like tacos and burritos instead
Argumate, have you seen what we do to foreign food?
Now that tacos and burritos have been assimilated Americanized, they are a legit American food.
I anticipated and deflected your all too obvious reaction before you had it

blue pill: Americans eating Mexican food is cultural appropriation.
grey pill: There has been a mixing of cultures along the border and with migration, in addition to new developments within America (including new ingredients), and therefore Americanized Mexican food is rightfully a kind of American food, much like Americanized Chinese food, Americanized Indian food, and so on.
“red pill”: Mexican food is foreign degeneracy, like the Irish.
orange pill: Mexican food is delicious, this proves I don’t hate Mexicans, vote for me.
radiant orange pill: All Mexican land is rightful territory of the United States of America, and therefore all Mexican food is American food by definition.
Can I just take a moment to state how much I hate everyone everywhere on every political axis, except for the exact point where I reside?
Cool.
fite me u coward
You, a Neoconservative who unironically supported the Iraq War while complaining about “Liberals clamping down on our freedoms”:
Me, completely unapologetic about the existence of a progressive income tax, flirting with the reintroduction of corporal punishment as an alternative to lengthy prison sentences, plotting the introduction of mixed martial arts to high school curricula as part of national civil defense infrastructure, and planning the partial legalization of some soft drugs in order to disrupt the cartels:
Football Man can kneel if he wants. You, on the other hand, BuzzPo, are banned from Football House for this take.
(Did I write that correctly? I’m not very familiar with American Football.)
“but it is unrealistic for a male and a female to just be friends! for if they spent time together alone, surely the female would simply consume the male to gain strength to protect her young, and- what, why do your eyebrows ascend”

So, how bout those self-driving cars?
Has noone considered the fact that the robot was a threat to the building’s security, the robot recognized this, and in proper Asimov style it proceeded to kill itself?
free trade ain’t so great in a winner takes all world, which many industries are.
China realises this and tells silicon valley to go to hell, as a result we have two internets, one for the middle kingdom and one for everyone else.
given the circumstances this seems like an economically rational position to take: get the ad-revenue flowing in to the country instead of out, even without taking into account the other benefits of controlling all communications.
not a practical approach for small countries like Australia, which can’t hope to duplicate the US tech industry due to lack of capital. but what about the EU, in the hypothetical world where they were effectively a federation and gutsy enough to tell America to go to hell, as they would so dearly love to do?
They added Greece to the Euro, Argumate.
They added Greece to the Euro.
In proposing a European Federation capable of this action, you are not only proposing differences in the development of the European Union, but the ideological base necessary to complete the My Nation, Europa victory goal, which the current players are simply too clueless to effectively pursue.
