This is what xenophobia advocates. We are on the wrong side of history as a people.

That's too bad.  It was funny.  Alarming, of course, but still funny as Hell.

So nuke Japan?  Most xenophobic people, and they oppress Koreans (trapped there since 1911) and burakumin (untouchables).  But what a beautiful people, yes?

Xenophobia against bigots is good.

Importing violent neanderthals is bad.

John Oliver is a faggot.

Shiranu is a proud fan of the "FOX - but for the marxist indoctrinated!" programming on TV.

(Almost) everything on television is propaganda. If you sit around and watch old westerns or nature shows you'll be alright, I guess. But everything else is blatant propaganda to anyone who isn't indoctrinated.

TV isn't some evil weapon of the political class, it is an evil weapon of Madison Ave.  Let's just outlaw advertising.  That would end almost all radio and TV and newspapers.

When all arguments fail, there's always strawmen.

Strawmen make good kindling.  For the witch burnings.

Because the opinions expressed make sense from some people's POV and yours are less rational?
