It's always hilarious to read comments on stories about how Trump's approval rating is creeping up.

Invariably the reason given is that the media is not properly holding him accountable and that they beat around the bush with euphemisms like 'racially charged' instead of flat out calling him 'racist.'

I'm over here thinking to myself, 'Y'all really think his numbers are rising because the media doesn't call him racist enough?' As usual they've got it almost bass ackwards. The more they cry racism, the more people tune them out, the more the Trump's accomplishments can speak for themselves and the higher his numbers go.

Less is more is not a thought that crosses their minds. Not even once. Why is the left the same everywhere? Over in Britain they're dealing with Boris Derangement Syndrome. If not for Trump Derangement Syndrome coverage of him would be unprecedented and the most hostile in the world.

Even more hilarious since the mainstream media is just straight-up calling the "go back and fix your own countries" tweets racist in the headlines.

Fanatics do not question their actions or do things in moderation.
It's kinda of the defining trait of Fanatics.
Mix in some Secular Millenarianism, every setback is temporary and the Righteous will be rewarded when Judgement Day the End of History comes, and Secular Manichaeism, extreme black and white thinking, oppressed vs. oppressor, Good vs. Evil.
And voila you have modern Liberalism.
Of course to paraphrase the Bible "Don't worship men and manmade ideologies. They are fallible and mortal and they will disappoint you."
Goes a long way to explaining why Leftists are so miserable. And why they don't understand the other side and it's rising approval ratings.

It's one of the reason why a lot of people joke about how the whole Social Justice Movement has become a replacement for religion for the lunatic left and how death kult-like it has become.

Oh absolutely.
Big brained atheists don't like to admit it but people need some sort of faith in their life. Most of us really don't function without it.
Thus we are left with Social Justice or New Atheism, where even a lack of faith becomes the faith, or really anything can and has been used to plug the hole.
Anyone who thinks the future is some Godless, hyper rational, Star Trek sort of thing is a dumbass.
Personally I think we're long overdue for another Great Awakening.

It's really kind of twistedly ironic that if they just believed in God, they would make outstanding Evangelicals. They would put Billy Graham and Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson to shame.

The hate for Olive Garden began when the chain started it's first major nation-wide ad campaign in the late 90s. It both shilled Olive Garden as an "authentic Italian cuisine" restaurant while at the same time, shilling itself for cheapskates by way of the "unlimited appetizers" sales ploy to lure people in.

It was crass and produced mix messages about what kind of joint they were, especially since in those early years they leaned heavy onto the former to sell Olive Garden to the masses who didn't know much/very little about Italian cuisine.

Mad TV did a really good send up of Olive Garden and it's weird fixation of trying to pass itself as both classy and working class friendly.

A hillarious parody of the Olive Garden commercials!

I also see jokes about how in the 96 Olympic guide Olive Garden was listed as the best Italian food in Atlanta. Be sure to bring it up whenever your favored sports team plays a team from Atlanta.

Is there anyone other than a handful of actual no-shit luddites saying that being cosmopolitan in and of itself is a bad thing if that’s what you’re into?

That's pretty insanely blatant yeah, as well as the shift from "undocumented immigrants" to "undocumented citizens". That's beyond open borders to sheer conspiracy theorist grade globalist.

I know that the school I went to in Ontario was throwing around terms like "Global citizen" back in c. 2008 in 7th grade classes. So they might be hoping that kids remembered and gave a shit and will vote en masse for policies that effectively turn the entire world into a single country. After which countries having borders will be taught as a historical aberration that persisted for about a century before everyone saw reason and dispensed with it.

No theyre bitching because those nasty alt-righters that are totally under everybody's bed will talk about either (((rootless cosmopolitans))), or use the same term for bugmen instead.

Im pretty sure IHeartRadio had some music fesrtval a year or two ago in NYC tied in with some app and info about volunteering and shit and they called it the Global Citizen Festival/app. The boy- er sorry "Scouts BSA" also has a global citizen merit badge.

Im starting to get the feeling theyre gonna push to change the meaning of "citizen" so that when people talk about how only citizens should be allowed to X or that illegal border hoppers aren't citizens, the NPCs will shriek about how thats a racist dogwhistle and that youre literally calling migrants subhuman.

It's more that there are a lot of people resisting the idea that's being pushed that urban living (which is what "cosmopolitan" actually means in this context, much as "diversity" pretty much always just means "more black people") is the only valid way. It's the latest outgrowth of the attempt to deperson large swaths of the country and disenfranchise the rural vote... "If you don't live in the heart of a major city, you aren't worth shit as a human."

This blue checkmark is actually being pretty blatant about this, his tweet almost flat-out says "If you're not cosmopolitan you're a stupid bigoted hick." He's not just saying it's an acceptable choice, he's associating it with everything that is worthwhile in life, thereby implying that being anything else excludes these concepts.

I also heard of another term called "Global Village" attributed to some crackpot or weirdo named Marshall McLuhan. I guess it fits "Global citizen" as well.

Given that he's Canada's only notable public intellectual until JP, I've actually heard of it. It's actually a reference to how mass media and electronic communication makes the world seem smaller and a good explanation for why non-Americans are so riddled with TDS. Not sure if McLuhan pointed out that it's actually possible to know everyone in a village, unlike the globe, and the intense fragmentation that key difference implies.
