    So so many vanity projects out there; consuming our attention, consuming our dollars, beware.

    Its pointless to spoon feed people references. I've been kicked off practically every academic website open to the public, because they can't stand to have their own results thrown back in their faces. Academia is more interested in promoting themselves as somehow superior, then admitting they are a total failure when it comes to public education and the rule of law, and are merely supporting the status quo, which is destroying the entire world. They will insist like any good wannabe lawyers that you jump through every hoop imaginable, only because they are defending the status quo and their freedom to teach the most insane people anything they want to learn, for the right price.

  3. Maybe you keep getting kicked out because you're rude, ramble incoherently, and think you know everything. Just a possibility.

    I spent decades online discussing philosophy and physics with academics, never having a single issue, until after I began throwing their own results back in their faces, and they could no longer deny the physical evidence. They argue for the sake of argument, and the more the money floats to the top, the harder they argue. The idea they actually care about reality belies the evidence they only give a crap about the money and putting food on the table.

    Reality TV has nothing on the internet, and academia is nothing more than reality TV for intellectuals and propaganda for the mindless mob, who insist the government, academics, and corporations they call evil lie to them for their own protection. Without even a functional democracy running the world anymore, academics are even starting to divide up into rich and poor. How much are you willing to pay for the truth? Because you will be lucky if you can buy it.

    There are efforts to stop the madness, with academics complaining nonstop about pay walls, and insisting we require an open source way to publish papers, but they are losing ground so fast it makes your head spin. The money has all floated to the top, thanks to the efforts of academics, and the same people they taught are now gouging academics for money and insisting they even flat out lie to them. Fuck em, arguing with the Three Stooges is a complete waste of time, while I have figured out how to change the world all within the public domain, by leveraging the ignorance of the experts against themselves.

    I tell the fucking assholes point blank, you are either smarter than a damned chicken, or you are the fucking chickenshit chicken destroying the fucking world. Either you can talk to each other and the mindless mob or we're all screwed assholes.

    The usual wealthy old white guys, who own most of the sciences and charge extra for the truth. However, you are free to organize your own sciences in flea market. Studies indicate the overwhelming majority of Americans think science is full of crap, but useful for technology.

    They were seen more as a hassle than a bonus. Barbarian heathens attacking these poor honest settlers for no good reason! :p

    Lots of Russian and Tlingit families in Alaska became American automatically as if they were bought by the new government. Lots of these Russian families had relatives in old Russia. It just seems strange to me that one government can buy land and people from another. It raises the age old question which Karl Marx raised: Are you a subject or a citizen? A subject is like a subject of the British Crown or the Saudi Crown, meaning they own you. If you are a citizen of a nation, can anyone buy you?

    Trump's interest in buying Greenland 'absurd,' says Danish prime minister - CNNPolitics

    The Danish Prime Minister called Donald Trump's interest in buying Greenland "absurd" the same day the President confirmed he had discussed the possibility of the US purchasing the country -- albeit, Trump said, it wasn't a high priority for America.

    "Greenland is not for sale. Greenland is not Danish. Greenland belongs to Greenland," Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen on Sunday told newspaper Sermitsiaq. "I strongly hope that this is not meant seriously."

    They don't buy the people with such a purchase. It's simply a consequence in a lot of instances that when the territory you live in switches from nations the people on it live in a diff nation and so often take on that nationality

    Haiti isn't for sale either, but we threatened to bomb their tin shacks into the stone age when they elected a socialist. Greenland is either up for sale to the highest bidder, or dead. Before Donald Duck ran for office, we had a few candidates seriously suggesting we dump NATO and the UN altogether, and just start invading countries like North Korea and taking whatever the fuck we want.

    There's nothing stopping Donald Duck from conquering the entire world right now, except the banks. If Greenland even tried to kick the US military out of their country, we would raise their rent higher. If the EU disowned the US, Russia and the entire middle east would invade. Like Greenland, they are free to spout smack, but not too much smack. The US military is equal to the next six to sixteen largest in the world combined and has a twenty year lead in perhaps 80% of all the technology. We make Hitler look like small potatoes, which is why he went insane and lost and why Putin threatened nuclear war.

    The trade tariffs and ICE are merely Donald Duck's excuse for invading and insisting Americans must defend themselves. Congress won't let the Nazis invade just yet, but if they destabilize the markets enough, it becomes a more attractive alternative. He who has the power to destroy a thing, controls that thing, or is killed. Inevitably, the situation produces destructive feedback and we get one empire after another raising insanity to new heights. Once the US invades a few bullshit countries like North Korea, invading more will come naturally to them. The Pentagons new robots and drones should make it extremely cost effective.

    It was Obama who first complained the predator drones were too expensive, for blowing up mud huts in the third world, and who bombed them in our ally Pakistan, without their permission even. The president now has the power to torture and kill anyone he wants, without so much as having to inform congress. Greenland would shit their pants if we sent just a few fighter jets to knock out whatever passes for radar in that pathetic excuse for a country, by any standard. Luxembourg is a country too, but its well known it is merely a country in name, and advertised as a tax shelter for the wealthy. If that's the definition of a country, then Vegas is a country.

    I understand. For some reason that does not apply to Palestinians?

    If you can't string barbed wire on it, its wilderness. Good fences make for defensible perimeters for your walls. Only savages don't use barbed wire!

    All these statistics of idiotic beliefs.... I blame the public school system for not giving a fuck about the youth like they're supposed to.

    Anyway, back on topic


    Purchasing Greenland is Trump’s version of the Green New Deal
