Naomi, younsaid it was a theory. A thery requires supporting evidence. All I'm asking is, do you have any?
Khandro, imthiught you'd bowed out? Anyway, again, do you have any evidence whatsoever to support your claim that Trump is liberating the USA. Calling my comments BS does you no favours and simple illustrates you have no answer to my points.

If an argument is, or appears to be, flawed from the outset, it's not really clear to me what's gained from checking that it is indeed flawed all the way through. That way amounts to spending time that could be far more productively employed. In plotting the Invasion of the Soviet Union in the mid 1940s, for example, which is how I spent my morning. (At least it's time I enjoyed wasting...)
As I see it, there clearly *is* an element of "the Left" that, in trying to combat genuine racism, sexism, etc, goes too far. That's not exactly in dispute. There was a thread yesterday about some moron from Cambridge illustrating the point. But what I think Khandro, and the makers of this video, and just the general anti-PC brigade miss is that it's rather a small element of left-wing politics. A vocal one, and easy to spot, to be sure, but small all the same. But then they use this small element to justify their crusade against "PC" of all kinds -- or, as I prefer to call it, good manners. Perhaps, too, they conveniently forget how the position was even, say, a few years ago, when the basic complaint they make about PC, ie lack of freedom to speak one's mind, applied even more vigorously in the other direction. Still does, to an extent.
I'm not unaware of the issues surrounding "Political Correctness" -- including its exaggerated extent by certain people keen to push the opposite agenda. If this video adds anything to that debate, apart from repeating hackneyed arguments and then tying them to Trump for no good reason, then I'd be very much surprised.
Perhaps those who have watched it could care to point me to some of the original arguments it makes?

I'm still waiting for clarification on the 'originality' front too Jim. Seems like some eejit with a video camera is all it takes for some people to be convinced that Trump is the new messiah of politics.
Anyone who believes Trump has a master plan is clearly deluded and it comes as no surprise that they believe this completely unsubstantiated claptrap.

You've agreed it's a theory. What evidence do you (or Khandro if he's finished sucking his thumb in the corner) do you have to support this? What specific words or actions have demonstrated that Trump is a new-order politician and which will be a catalyst for others to emulate?
I'm just after one or two simple examples which support the guy in the videos assertions.

Zacs, I didn't 'agree' it's a theory. I actually suggested it's a theory (and we're not talking a scientific theory here so get that straight now) because that's how I viewed the content of the video. Now either go and scratch those ants in your pants or carry on in the certain knowledge that I won't be listening. This is becoming extremely tedious.
