If ajax is any indication, it's seems racism is mostly rooted in personal and/or economic insecurity. What's the cure for that?
Definitely welfare handouts until one can get back on their feet. Since Ajax hates that idea, his check will only be for $1.00/month.... that shouldn't alarm him too bad....

Lol. No.
No what?
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.

Well, that might be part of it, but what I meant was that the wealth gap keeps getting bigger, and because these guys are dumb as a rock, rather than blaming the actual culprits (greedy corporations and tax law), they blame it on people who don't look like they do. It seems to me racism's practical applications are about maintaining ignorance and scapegoating.

And there's no doubt, people who are secure in who they are can't be racists. There has to be an issue in your psych for you to hold such idiotic ideas. Maybe an uncle screwed you when you were young; who knows? But you've got to have serious psychological issues if you are an enthusiastic racist (even if the issue is simply that you're dumb as a rock).

Not that I'd expect anyone on Twitter could detect nuance, but I believe what's-his-nuts is insinuating that what's-her-nuts making the claim of white supremacy within the GOP is erroneous in the first place therefore she was never really a member of the GOP where white supremacy totes doesn't exist - she doesn't get it and she's a tool of the Left.

I doubt that was Gorka's meaning.

You’re probably right. After googling him he seems to sympathize with Hungarian far-right types at best and actively promote xenophobia at worst. He was also a Trumper which tells me what I need to know.

Hugh Nibley claimed he bumped into Adolf Hitler, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Gertrude Stein, and the Grand Duke Vladimir Romanoff. Dishonesty is baked into Mormonism.

If welfare were only temporary. The de facto welfare program is disability. It takes at least 3 to 4 years to qualify. Once people get on it, only 0.04% ever return to legal work.

No, that's about what I'd expect from liberal social programs. That's about how much I got in unemployment when I wasn't allowed to work for 6 weeks.
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.
