I'm not American and I don't understand many of the American politics.

So why are the republicans going to sue Obama?

And why are some liberal fags actually happy about it

>The Swedish government announced that it plans to remove all mentions of race from Swedish legislation, saying that race is a social construct which should not be encouraged in law.

>"We know that different human races actually do not exist," Swedish Integration Minister Erik Ullenhag told Sveriges Television (SVT).

>"We also know that the fundamental grounds of racism are based on the belief that there are different races, and that belonging to a race makes people behave in a certain way, and that some races are better than others."

>The concept of race is included in around 20 Swedish laws, including criminal code, student financial aid laws, and credit information laws. On Thursday the Swedish government began an investigation into how to remove the concept from all legislation, as has been done in Austria and Finland.

>"Legislation should not include the word race, if we argue that there are not actually races," Ullenhag said. "I have wanted to remove the concept of race for a long time."

>The president of conservative pro-family group Faith2Action last weekend announced the pre-launch of ReaganBook, a social networking site described as "the Facebook for patriots," according to Right Wing Watch.

>Faith2Action President Janet Porter told attendees at the Ohio Liberty Coalition's "Reload 4 Liberty" event that Facebook has been censoring people like anti-gay activist Peter LaBarbera.

>Porter lamented that "while tomorrow Facebook employees are gathering to go march at the gay pride parade in San Francisco," they are censoring people with "unpopular opinions."

>She then described ReaganBook as a social network that tears down walls like President Reagan.

>“We’re tearing down walls of tyranny and censorship," she said.

>ReaganBook, now at 36 members, welcomes all individuals to "connect and share freely."

>The site says it will not "scan, mine or sell user content."

>"We stand by what Ronald Reagan said, ‘Government has no power except those voluntarily granted to it by we the people,'" the site reads. "The same holds true for your social media: don’t grant your social media any power to collect, sell, exploit, and divulge your private information."

Why haven't you signed up for Reaganbook, /pol/?

>For millions of workers, wages have flatlined. Take Caterpillar, long a symbol of American industry: while it reported record profits last year, it insisted on a six-year wage freeze for many of its blue-collar workers.

>Wages have fallen to a record low as a share of America’s gross domestic product. Until 1975, wages nearly always accounted for more than 50 percent of the nation’s G.D.P., but last year wages fell to a record low of 43.5 percent. Since 2001, when the wage share was 49 percent, there has been a steep slide. “We went almost a century where the labor share was pretty stable and we shared prosperity,” says Lawrence Katz, a labor economist at Harvard. “What we’re seeing now is very disquieting.” For the great bulk of workers, labor’s shrinking share is even worse than the statistics show, when one considers that a sizable — and growing — chunk of overall wages goes to the top 1 percent: senior corporate executives, Wall Street professionals, Hollywood stars, pop singers and professional athletes. The share of wages going to the top 1 percent climbed to 12.9 percent in 2010, from 7.3 percent in 1979.

>Conservative and liberal economists agree on many of the forces that have driven the wage share down. Corporate America’s push to outsource jobs — whether call-center jobs to India or factory jobs to China — has fattened corporate earnings, while holding down wages at home. New technologies have raised productivity and profits, while enabling companies to shed workers and slice payroll. Computers have replaced workers who tabulated numbers; robots have pushed aside many factory workers.

So how do you propose we combat the rising wealth inequality caused by outsourcing, technological advancement, and greed? All suggestions welcome.

What does /pol/ think of this retarded fight for $15/hr minimum wage for unskilled jobs?

It's not their employer's fault they dropped out of school, tbh they already get paid a lot for the effort their job takes.

What would be the smartest thing to do?

In my case, yes, the two are mutually exclusive. If all things were equal, I'd probably go film or journalism. But those are useless majors and I'm sure I'd regret it.

What say you, /pol/?

So an hour or two ago an anon recorded an EAM on 8992kHz air force frequency and the end of the message was overridden by a mysterious, very powerful pirate transmission. Another anon decoded it; it was an SSTV encoded images; which decoded to pic related.

Basically someone just trolled the USAF's nuclear command radio with le happy merchant, except they would have needed a giga-fucking powerful transmitter for it to be this clear and loud.

90% of economists don't want any restrictions on the outsourcing of labor to foreign countries (source: Google "The Consensus of Economists Mankiw" because I can't directly link because 4chan has a faggot spam filter).

Do you know better than them?

I continue to not understand pro-Palestine faggots. Why exactly is Israel evil just because one side of this conflict is complete shit at warfare? How is it Israel's fault that Hamas's caveman rockets aren't working? Yeah, the numbers are lopsided, so what?

Are Palestine faggots seriously suggesting that, if Hamas had better technology, they would show complete restraint and not kill a single woman or child? These are people who suicide bomb you stupid faggots. The only reason they aren't commiting "war crimes" as well is because they're so incompetent. Why is that Israel's fault?

Also, the utter hypocrisy of any Westerner being upset about "colonialism" or "imperialism" is insane. All of you live comfortable lives because of "imperialism" which was magnitudes larger and more bloody than anything done by Israel. Most of our countries have effectively commited "genocide" against native populations on a far bigger scale than anything that is happening to the Palestinians. So what the fuck?

This is how the world works. If you start a fight, might makes right. So shut the fuck up you goddamn crybabies.

>flags on every house
>convenience stores, gas stations, and other outlets making a killing off of flags on sticks
>people waving said flags everywhere and hanging them off their bookbags to school
>primary, intermediate, middle, and high schools doing bomb drills
>children being held back from school due to paranoid, conservative parents
>southern states losing their shit.
>backpedaling and damage control flowing from Washington
>fake terrorist attacks everywhere

Truly it was the most epic and hilarious shitstorm ever. Shame most of you were too young to have seen it. I was 15 then. I'm 28 now.
