Studying the writings of many progressive thought leaders reveals something important: that left-wing intellectual thought is little more than a series of dressed up impulsive, childish and bitter attacks on the idea of authority itself.
As the son of a prosperous farmer who owned nine hectares of rice land and several draft cattle, Pol Pot would bring a lifelong familiarity to the subject of agricultural reform to office, experts say.

The Armenia peace process isn't being sabotaged by too many men being involved.
It's being sabotaged by Azerbaijan not wanting peace and being obsessed with hate against Armenia.
First time in the Caspian Sea. This plus the Mediterranean Sea = me.
Down this coastline is the border with Iran, where I’m told there’s concern about growing regime influence on the people in the south of Azerbaijan.
On the Armenia border, a conflict continues in the

It’s counting on Westerners turning a blind eye in order to accomplish this goal."

The EU is turning to trustworthy energy suppliers.
Azerbaijan is one of them.
With today's agreement, we commit to expanding the Southern Gas Corridor, to double gas supplies from Azerbaijan to the EU.
This is good news for our supplies of gas this winter and beyond.
The U.S. is working to remove obstacles preventing the delivery of humanitarian assistance to the population of Nagorno-Karabakh. We reiterate our call to re-open the Lachin road, urge the sides to meet immediately, and agree on supplying essential goods.

Well I beg to differ. I think people should have compassion and treatment for someone suffering mentally in that way, not enabling their disorder.
Pop singer Rihanna takes to Instagram to urge her fans to register to vote in the US mid-terms saying "there is no greater responsibility than being control of your future"

I'm upset because a fight I picked online about an insensitive joke isn't going exactly how I planned.
We are not the same."

Trolling town councils and school districts is actually an underdeveloped resource.
These places are goldmines of square, humorless people.

In El Paso is where the effectiveness of the border wall was displayed and where she visited to dodge having to go to actual dangerous area (RGV).

Maybe you could write an op-ed for LAT about your woman-respecting ways? Talk about how feminism empowers women and all (ignore all the stats showing precisely the opposite). Will look forward to reading.

Considering that a lot of the content and format is literally borrowed from military PSYOP campaigns it doesn't surprise me.
A lot more effective at achieving its purpose (low morale and making people incredibly myopic and indifferent) than most people realize.
