Ok, with the caveat if they have the largest military on Earth supporting them, the minorities might be better off than the majority.
It's quibbling, but "majority" is really shorthand for "majority of power". Other things being equal this will be the numerical majority, but in cases of countries that are part of a foreign Empire, the number of locals on the ground is irrelevant.

Racism and White Supremacy are not the same thing. It pays to have a basic understanding of what you're talking about before you criticise something.
Well, please enlighten us, because as far as I know white supremacy is just a subset of racism.

Remember, ideologically those Democratic KKK members more closely resemble the Republican party of today.
Democrats are just as bad or worse in terms of ideology. There are plenty of studies showing that Democrats are more racist in some ways than Republicans. Same with liberal vs conservative. For instance https://www.washingtonpost.com...
Or for example look at policies like segregated dorms on college campuses, which are overwhelmingly liberal: https://www.forbes.com/sites/r...
Some of this stuff is being done with a kind intention, it's true. But at least some segregationists from decades back also had good intentions, believe it or not.
Well, whatever, but all this argument shows is that (from an outsider's point of view) there is just 'pretty right wing' and 'extremely right wing' in US politics.
In the rest of the world, if you're racist you're not a "liberal" or "left wing", regardless of whether you think left wing is good or bad.

Why do you alt right assholes always post as anon? What are you afraid of exactly?
They know that ZOG is watching and waiting to take them off to political indoctrination camps if they dare to speak the truth in their own names.

Am I the only one who's finding it simultaneously deeply troubling and wildly amusing to see a right winger defend ISIS?

Liberal white supremacy? You're an embarrassment to mankind.
It's the usual right wing false equivalency bullshit.

I know you're being sarcastic, but the Death's Head emblem was used long before the Nazis...
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hG0C3Vezw9Q
The skull and crossbones/Jolly Roger flag was used by pirates in the 18th century, for instance.

Yes, I do see the pattern! Every industry is bad!
No, but not every industry is good.
It takes a pretty fanatical devotion to capitalism to refuse to believe that some profit-making concerns may not be acting in the public interest.

Yeah, because what's going to happen is that climate change will be a precisely zero sum game, with any negatives exactly compensated by positives.
Makes you wonder what all the fuss is about.

Anyway, you're in yesteryear on the economics of nuclear. There are new designs, which, if standardized (which is what France did with their older reactors, BTW), can be just as economical as anything else, except maybe gas (at the current prices).
Nuclear power does not make economic sense. You can only pretend it's profitable if you externalise the costs like insurance and waste disposal by getting a government to cover them.
Once they're built and generating electricity, no they probably don't have vastly different running costs than a coal or gas fired station.
But it's like saying your $1m Bugatti is not that much more expensive to run than a $10K Micra: even if they have the same fuel economy it's cheating just to look at MPG.

It's truly impressive how "the Anthropocentric Global Warming alarmists" manage to be simultaneously evil socialists determined to steal money off hard working capitalists, and plotters aiming for the greater concentration of wealth in an elite.

Ask slashdot: How can I get rich from fixing climate change?
Get into the business of selling guns, ammo, dried food rations and water purifiers?
But isn't your average survivalist whackjob precisely the sort of person who thinks that 'global warming' is a hoax organised by ZOG?

Yes, it's called Fusion.

Even the worse nuclear accident in history, Chernobyl, is turning out to not be as bad as people thought it was. It may be 20,000 years before its back to "safe" radiation levels but the area is already showing signs of recovery
something something bananas more radioactive than H bombs something something waste disposal problem will probably be solved soon something something

Considering that most bitcoin supporters/creators have a very high technical background and are on the high end of the IQ spectrum along with many VC and investment firms
Even given your amusingly generalised assumptions, this would only be relevant if intelligent people were somehow immune from greed and (metaphorical) shortsightedness.
