I won't even mention how absurd it is to see immigrants speaking against immigration in any way. It gives us a show of the lower nature of man and its selfishness and hypocrisy. Plus, on a practical level, when immigration stops, our species begins to die.

I do agree with you, my dear.

I know it's absurd but it's the cruel reality, obviously in all countries.

regarding the U.S.- a country build on genoicide and build up by immigrants -: you would expect a highly tolerante society with the consciousness what racism can do (genoicide) but obviously that's not the case, the reality of history doesn't help.

In Germany many "non-Germans" live and i'll tell you right now, they are not beaten by any neonazis in terms of prejudice and racism. I know many people descended from Eastern European ethnicities who are anti-semitic- in a country where the Holoccaust was taking place and where they are now foreigners.

I do know "non-Germans" who were refugees themselves (!!!) and who know breathe fire and brimstone facing the refugees influx. It was okay that they came to Germany but it's unacceptable for Syrians and Yazidis who run away from war, persecution and genoicide.

So, i am not surprised at all that you still find plenty of racism in the U.S. - despite their history

Waterboarding is not torture. Waterboarding causes NO injuries, inflicts NO pain.

"and what about muslim ban? there are billions of muslims...."

Refugees from specific countries will be restricted from entering the US. Those countries which have significant terrorist problems or terrorist populations.

"and what about that wall to Mexico?"

Build the wall and build it tall.

"and what about throwing women into jail for having had an abortion?"

You must have missed this discussion. Trump never said..punish women who have abortions.

Trump was asked a question...IF abortion was illegal and a woman has an abortion, should she be punished. Trump said yes...IF abortion was illegal.

Trump's mistake was in answering a far left lunatic's hypothetical question in the first place.

His answer should have been...Don't ask hypothetical questions. Get back to me when abortion IS illegal..if ever.

I find it ironic that in a forum labeled "Global Unity" people are advocating things that clearly lack the basic Golden Rule mentality necessary to create such a thing.

Waterboarding causes deep anxieties and panic. It IS torture.
Also, the U.S. is notorious for torture, at least they were notorious for torture and rape in Iraq. Or have you forgotten the war crimes the U.S. committ in Iraq? Or is it something collateral, something that just happens?

aha, do you know how expensive that wall will be?

And Ivanka Trump is married to that Kushner, son of the owner of Kushner properties. The New York Real Estate market is highly run by Jewish businessmen like Kushner and Tishman Speyer, etc.

The usual mental flaw is believing prejudice includes some to protect others from it, but once you get it out, racism is all-inclusive and a chain reaction.

The light at the end of the tunnel in the situation is that, with this occasion, the American people will discover, as a national soul, how far from racism they really are and they are.

But it wasn’t until March 29 that Breitbart’s full embrace of the alt-right became clear. That’s the day the site featured Yiannopoulos’s lengthy piece glorifying the alt-right. Yiannopoulos had already given interviews in which he stated that “Jews run the banks” and “Jews run the media,” dismissing anti-Semitic memes as merely “mischievous, dissident, trolly.” He wrote, along with co-author Allum Bokhari, this insane sentence: “There are many things that separate the alternative right from old-school racist skinheads (to whom they are often idiotically compared), but one thing stands out above all else: intelligence.”

---

The phrase "alt-right" was coined by one of the most bigoted, racist, white supremacists in America — Richard Betrand Spencer.

In 2013, the Anti-Defamation League labeled him as "symbol of the new white supremacy." The Southern Poverty Law Center called the 38-year old-Spencer "a suit-and-tie version of the white supremacists of old, a kind of professional racist in khakis."

If there is no unity within the USA, how can we as a nation possibly contribute to global unity?

I mean in the US? In Europe there's a immense difference between right wings and conservatives. Right wings are xenophobic and New nazis and conservatives are bitter opponents to both leftwings and right wings. Also, a liberal politician is no leftist, let out a right wing

So what is the difference in the US?

Good questions. I will try to explain.

You may find the above articles I posted will inform you of the core tensions in party politics right now. The Republicans have been the conservative party since the early-mid 1900s. Democrats have been the more liberal/centrist party since around that time.

Currently there is an influx into the Republican party/Trump campaign/administration by the "alt-right", which is the white supremacist 'new right.' They took over Breitbart news online.

There is really no functional 'left' in the USA, and there hasn't been since around 1950 or so when socialists and communists were skewered publicly, lost their jobs, etc. The Green Party is now the best current marker of the left in party politics and had a slight showing in some places this election, but that's it.

The influx into the GOP this election by xenophobes is what is turning everything topsy-turvy, along with the fact that the Democratic nominee for president, Hillary Clinton espoused neo-conservative aggressive interventionist military policies.

Everything is slipping and shifting at the moment. KKK membership is rising and the number of KKK groups in the US doubled last year. KKK = Klu Klux Klan, a notorious white supremacist terrorist group that had until recently waned into the background. Now they are enjoying association with their own candidate in Trump.

According to Richard Cohen, president of the Southern Poverty Law Center (the nation's strongest hate group watchdog), there has been an increase in hate-based attacks. Even real estate agents have been warning mixed couples or those with adopted children of color to be careful where they move because of KKK activity and recruitment heating up lately:

In fact, if these as sclowns knew how their infantile antics are viewed by the majority of Americans, they'd knock off the nonsense. They're solidifying opinion in this country and it's not in their favor. They're actually helping Trump. There's up to 100 million Americans who didn't vote. If they had it to do over again, probably 70% would vote for Trump after getting an eyeful of these little leftist nincompoops parading, rioting and attending cry-ins for Hillary The Corrupt. If you think this election was bad, very bad for democrats, and it was a disaster for democrats, wait and see what happens to democrats in the 2018 midterm elections.

“Based on strikingly irrational beliefs and emotions, modern liberals relentlessly undermine the most important principles on which our freedoms were founded,” says Dr. Lyle Rossiter, author of the new book, “The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness.” “Like spoiled, angry children, they rebel against the normal responsibilities of adulthood and demand that a parental government meet their needs from cradle to grave.”

While political activists on the other side of the spectrum have made similar observations, Rossiter boasts professional credentials and a life virtually free of activism and links to “the vast right-wing conspiracy.”

For more than 35 years he has diagnosed and treated more than 1,500 patients as a board-certified clinical psychiatrist and examined more than 2,700 civil and criminal cases as a board-certified forensic psychiatrist. He received his medical and psychiatric training at the University of Chicago.

Rossiter says the kind of liberalism being displayed by both Barack Obama and his Democratic primary opponent Hillary Clinton can only be understood as a psychological disorder.

“A social scientist who understands human nature will not dismiss the vital roles of free choice, voluntary cooperation and moral integrity – as liberals do,” he says. “A political leader who understands human nature will not ignore individual differences in talent, drive, personal appeal and work ethic, and then try to impose economic and social equality on the population – as liberals do. And a legislator who understands human nature will not create an environment of rules which over-regulates and over-taxes the nation’s citizens, corrupts their character and reduces them to wards of the state – as liberals do.”

Dr. Rossiter says the liberal agenda preys on weakness and feelings of inferiority in the population by:

•creating and reinforcing perceptions of victimization;
•satisfying infantile claims to entitlement, indulgence and compensation;
•augmenting primitive feelings of envy;
•rejecting the sovereignty of the individual, subordinating him to the will of the government.

“The roots of liberalism – and its associated madness – can be clearly identified by understanding how children develop from infancy to adulthood and how distorted development produces the irrational beliefs of the liberal mind,” he says. “When the modern liberal mind whines about imaginary victims, rages against imaginary villains and seeks above all else to run the lives of persons competent to run their own lives, the neurosis of the liberal mind becomes painfully obvious.”
