These are the people who mock you for "not knowing economics"

what is the left tho?

what is theft, bro?

He's been hitting the blunt too hard.

OK GOT IT

TBH I doubt ANY politician has the name and coordinates of every Syrian city memorized. There's a reason these people have advisors. That said, he's a fucking idiot anyway.

Alleppo's been in the headlines for the past month

...

For you.

this

A candidate who had no idea what Aleppo was and basically ignored the Syrian war would probably be an improvement on the foreign policy front.

and why would you have to know what and where aleppo is (was a context given for him before?) to have an opinion on syria?
i think he probably knew, just was caught off guard that moment
need better background to give accurate judgement on his knowledge

Why would they say Aleppo, why not just say Syria?

A person this stupid should not be on television outside of a reality show.

WHAT IS AAAALMAO XD FAM 100

To get exactly the response they did. Normalfags probably don't know what's a leppo but they see the candidate look like a yard and get discouraged. This is just how the media rolls.

*look like a tard

Why are you equating that with knowing what a large, historical city that has been on the news for the past weeks is? You don't need to know the coordinates of every american city to know New York you fucking doofus.

Hey, at least he's pro gun control and pro marriage equality. Not the worst lolbert imo.

STRAIGHT TO THE FUCKING CHAIR.

nobody asked him for the fucking coordinates.

is the bar seriously that fucking low for you? this guy wants to be president of the united states without even having passing knowledge of basic current events going on in the world. anyone even barely paying attention at all in the last year should know what Aleppo is

What are you screaming about? I'm just pointing out that he's a marginally less shitty representative of a shit ideology/party.

I would argue that was framed as a gotcha question and purposefully misleading.

"What is ALEPO?"

That sounds like an acronym. I thought it was another Martin Shkreli tier pharma scam. Can't blame Gary for blanking out.

The question was framed so as to imply something "needed" to be done about Aleppo by the future president - something I'm assuming would involve more intervention in Syria.

Also the only reason why anyone even cares about Aleppo is because The Powers That Be want Assad out.

what is cereal?

Capital "L" Libertarians are morons. What else is new? -yawn-

jill stein then ?

It's not like Aleppo is that obscure, its been in the news plenty recently.

nyti.ms/2crV1os
nyti.ms/2bP1Xhy
nyti.ms/2bXGbZe

Recently, but still, out of the fucking blue. It sounds obscure as fuck, doesn't even sound middle eastern. Sounds like an American company or something.

"What is ALEPO"

That's a got'cha question, give the man some context before you start pulling out random Syrian cities out of your ass.

Yes, the American capitalists want to extend their influence over Syria. That's why they asked him that question, considering he's trying to become the President of the United States, the biggest capitalist power in the world. Fucking duh?

If you're running to be president of the U.S. and don't know basic facts about a current conflict the U.S. is engaged in, you're a moron who shouldn't be elected.

...

Holy shit his response is garbage rhetoric.

I want to impregnate Abby Martin.

welcome to the american "right".

they have literally 0 understanding of economic principles or anything when it comes to history or geopolitics, they are guided soley by "FREEDUM" "everyone needs to just stop being lazy and man up for all problems to be fixed everywhere" and slight undertones of paranoid racism/biggotry/religious zealotry. there is a reason why right wingers don't write books as much as the left, they don't know HOW to read/write. they are simply useful idiots (which is sad because they say the exact same thing about us regardless of having the iq's of mongoloids in all scientific studies about political affiliation and iq and regardless of having absolutely no fucking clue about economics other than the blind uncompromising principle that socialism is bad because spooky evil cold war)

I have a feeling the Libs don't give a shit about this and just want media attention. But if this is what they consider worthwhile media attention, they'll go nowhere.

Now do Fluttershy….

...

Done.

Oh user there is no need to be a party pooper.

...

Why would you be pro gun control? It's hard to have a revolution without guns.

That's not even the stupidest thing he ever said.

This is.

Now even Reddit hates him.

he's like a buzzword spouting machine

Wolf of Wallstreet tier advice

kek, did he outsource his AMA account to Thomas Friedman or something

Isn't that place supposed to be lolbert HQ for the internet?

Even they have standards.

I know it's fun to riff on Johnson, but really

we both know they don't

...

To think I used to like this guy in 2012. Gas libertarians.

He was under the impression that Aleppo was an acronym, not the city because he had a retard moment.

At least he's better than hillary (who uses a third party microphone to get info) or trump (who would just bullshit), and was not afraid to admit he didn't personally know what they were referring to.

It gets worse

...

not a lot of people here know it but that movie fucked up our generation with it's deeper subliminal message and massive popularity.

Did anyone see this? I can already tell it's shit, but I need confirmation.

its a good movie but the message is really shitty, if i was an eastern european censor trying to get rid of bourgoise propoganda that would literally corrupt and destroy the fabric of our full socialist utopia this would be the only movie i got rid of.

its a love story to greed and the end message is "get greedy and be super greedy but don't get caught because you will get fucked by the stupid evil government"

I kinda gotta go with Johnson here. Most headlines don't even mention "Aleppo" just "Syria" or "Syrian City". Before this shit it's the first I've ever heard of it. Hell I know more about Rovaja than I do about Aleppo. It's simply impossible for someone to keep up with so much foreign and domestic issues.

What is a leppo? We just don't know.

To be honest I got more of an impression that it was just making fun of the excess wealth. I didn't get the "love story to greed" bit. I mean the last scene is Belfort as an old man doing some snake oil seminar and he looks like shit. My impression was that you were supposed to walk away from it thinking "yeah I guess that's cool but it fucked him up pretty bad."

Aleppo was a major economic city since forever.

It's not about "domestic issues". It's about general knowledge.

On the other hand, I don't know where exactly Michigan is, as it was never useful to me.

HOWEVER, if you want to deal with the problems of the world, you better know the world.

Leppo? Isn't he one of the Marx Brothers?

OC, faglords

...

it seems like you forgot to tell your distro's package manager to install whatever RSS reader you want and subscribe to RT and Al Jazeera (beware the pro-US propaganda).

"not knowing economics" just means not believing the free market is infallible

Watch him trying to explain it away:

I don't even use RSS.

A.L.E.P.P.O.
Here's a little game for ya'll: What can A.L.E.P.P.O be an acronym for? I'll start.
