So apparently the last time Denmark gave America an island…

It literally became Epstein’s island

Like, that’s where we got it from, as a token of appreciation for not trying to keep Greenland after WW2. So there’s a chance since Trump feels he “lost” that island, he now feels entitled to all of Greenland. Even tho Epstein’s island, is still American controlled, Trump’s probably mad it’s “closed”

Exactly, you old fucking centrist fart.

…

I get insulted a lot for my political beliefs, but that’s a new one

Eh, I can’t remember the last time I saw trump flags/signs around me…

And they get nervous when the topic comes up.

They’re not gonna start protesting trump, but they’re also likely to stay home instead of vote

Pretty hard to call it a civil war when one side is the government killing and abducting people with impunity, and the only example of an ICE agent getting hurt or anything resembling consequences is he slipped and fell on the ice…

…

Is the author ignorant that Venezuela was also an ally until we invaded and kidnapped their leader?!

Like, is it ignorance or racism because this time it’s a “white country”?

If you think NED needs to be defunded…

In February 2025, the Department of Government Efficiency under Elon Musk blocked disbursement from the Treasury of the NED’s congressionally-mandated funding;[15][16] in August, the NED was granted an injunction to allow access to its funds.[17]

Congrats, you agree with Elmo and DOGE…

Sure thing lil buddy…

Just like if you ever met anyone from any of those groups, I’m sure you’d adjust your opinions to meet facts

Great, more AI slop

Going by recent history

Fucking around with a pretty shitty South American government isn’t recent norm is the geopolitical norm for centuries…

Taking a giant landmass from a European country is going to get a different response.

He hated the US neoliberal democratic order because they snubbed him and wouldn’t let him in their club,

Huh?

He was fully in the neoliberal club…

He got the fucking Clinton’s to come to one of his weddings, neoliberals loved him because they were one of the few people he actually wrote checks too. Because he always got a return on it.

The shit about him not liking the Clinton’s is just WWF play acting.

He is deeply and intimately familiar with the technical and social structures of the modern internet, his analysis of various phenomena and trends is usually on-point and has some predictive power

If you think he predicts anything, you’re streets behind

Most importantly he offers solutions to the issues facing us

He repeats what anyone could find in a five minute Google search from articles written by others.

I’ve never seen an original thought, he’s the Carlos Mencia of tech.

I think they all do as they’re told

Maybe true for marines less than six month out of training, but that’s not who trump is sending.

He wants to send fucking airborne rangers, specifically an artic division out of Alaska.

ICE is 100% going to want to act like equals and when that immediately fails they will try to be extra violent to impress them.

And airborne rangers are not just going to let them run wild on civilians.

You think someone is going thru one by one and determining if they’re loyal

Are you thinking the military is 100% loyal?

I know you’re wrong, just not how you’re wrong…

Literally anyone he sends besides ICE, aren’t going to put up with what ICE is doing.

We don’t know how long we can hold onto this DNC, we need to primary everyone we can, while we can.

If the neoliberals take it back, they’re threaten to yank funding from states again if their chosen candidates aren’t on the general ballot.

We have to capitalize while we can, so that they can’t obstruct after midterms. Having a D by their names isn’t all we have to settle for.

Sounds like they hired out to a 3rd party for customer surveys, and one of the ways that company makes money is “bundling” questions.

The sender was identified as “Groupe Nordik — CROP.”

Groupe Nordik is Thermea’s parent company. CROP, or the Centre for Research on Public Opinion, is a third-party research firm.

So, they offer to take a list of clients, reach out for customer survey, and interpr/relay the results to the company.

But to make extra money, they throw additional questions on the end, then sell those to a different client.

Because the highest priced polling data would be something that agrees with the far right, that’s what they’re fishing for.

A normal person would just quit the survey, so the bulk of the responses generated will say that these views are overly supported.

The spa is just a victim.

There is value in this being documented, otherwise the person without “common sense” may be influenced by someone with an agenda who does document their thoughts.

Oh yeah, because no one has “documented” that AI is bullshit yet…

Only the brave Cory Doctrow could gather and disseminate this to the masses!

Science, y’know, matters.

It’s not mutually exclusive, but statistical analysis is both science and matters

Calling looking at the methodology and questioning its voracity “science denial” is wild.

That’s not what you did, you based it off two polls being done by the same polling company…

I looked at the methodology, then informed you it was fine…

Not claiming to be a data scientist here, just reading the study and applying some healthy skepticism.

I am fully aware that you:

1. Don’t know about this subject

2. Are shitting on science because you don’t understand it

3. Are now claiming to be “just asking questions”

The only thing I’m not clear on, is why you believe this is different than any other science denier.

But I think trying to get you to understand enough to answer that question, will go the same as asking any other science denier why they don’t believe in a certain field of science.

More Americans believe in ghosts than believe trump wasn’t aware and complicit in Epstein systematically trafficking and raping children…

Edit: Looks like it’s a YouGov survey, and the article cites a second YouGov survey as corroboration, so I’m not sure how scientifically rigorous this is.

Huh?

It’s got more than enough participants and everything seems by the book…

Is this one of those things where people got turned into science deniers because pundits interpretations of other polls didn’t turnout true?

That’s like saying Doppler radar is untrustworthy because when it was a 50% chance of rain, it didn’t rain at your house…

The science wasn’t wrong, you just never understood what it said. And rather than take an opportunity to learn what you misunderstood to stop the misunderstanding from happening again…

You’re just staying ignorant and now no longer believe any of the science because you don’t understand.

Why?

Why does science denial seem like the best path to you?
