US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

 

[Just Hamsters]

Three things to keep in mind, no matter how bad it gets:

#1: You're still pulling in air, so you're ahead of the game.
#2: It could ALWAYS be worse.
#3: Life isn't fair, suck it up and drive on.

Keep those in mind, and anything is able to be withstood.

After all, life is 10% circumstance and 90% how you react to it.

Full steam ahead boy-os! Get a good seat while you can spare the fat on your ass.

 

[JosephStalin]

I agree with almost all of this, but I haven't undergone hardships and probably can't handle them.

Yes, you can. We are all stronger than we think. Choices are easy when you don't have any.

Haven't read everything, don't know why Gehenna wants to leave. I don't see things now anywhere near as bad as 1968, and I was a teenager then.

In 1968 we lost Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King to assassination within about two months of each other. We were heavily involved in Vietnam. Lots of anti-war and anti-draft demonstrations. Lots of race strife; was in Detroit for the 1967 riots. The 1968 Democratic National Convention was wracked by major violence. Shit was bad, and we saw it on the news every evening.

One of the strengths of America, even today's America, is the American people. Sure as hell isn't any "congress" or any "administration/regime". Day-to-day, Americans of all types work, do business, and live together. America works because the people who really count work together.

Have never seen a full-blown civil war coming. Wouldn't be a linear conflict, as was the first Civil War. Would look for cyber-warfare and Irish-type "troubles".

I also believe that the regime and the media have been working overtime to stir shit up. Why? Who benefits? How about people not taking the bait and ignoring what "they" say? Remember, anger is optional. Lashing out is optional. The REAL Americans don't feed off "their" lies and bullshit. When you don't act the way "they" want you to act, "they" lose.

Let's be serious. Not many places to really go. Not everyone can pack up and move to Idaho, or wherever. Try doing your best and being your best where you are now.

 

[MrJokerRager]

How is that a win?

They vote yes for the nigger, they look like cuckolds to their own voters and Democrats will hate them.

They vote no for the nigger, they will look "based" to their own voters and Democrats will hate them.

They don't bother taking part in the farce for choosing only a nigger, they will be fine with their own voters since its all on the Democrats themselves to put the nigger on the bench and take all the blame and the Democrats will hate them.

Also the niggers and sheboons will hate the GOP in all three scenarios.

Point is trying to appeal to the blacks of America is a waste of time when there is a untapped rural white voter than apparently can balance all those pavement apes out.

 

[Gehenna]

Haven't read everything, don't know why Gehenna wants to leave. I don't see things now anywhere near as bad as 1968, and I was a teenager then.

It's not want to leave, it is "I have a family I need to care for, can work remotely without missing a beat, and have the finances to do the move".

Precautionary, not "The sky is falling oh god!"




In retrospect, I could have eased the thread into that in a way that would have caused less... panic. Oops.

 

[b0x]

If America goes to shit, the whole world will follow soon after.

Some places are worse than America.

 

[Simple Moving Average]

Soros has burned through probably tens of billions of dollars on random shit over the course of his life. He probably figures this is just a bare minimum sorta donation.

Once his Democracy PAC files with the FEC on Monday their spending will be publically available.

Yes, you can. We are all stronger than we think. Choices are easy when you don't have any.

Haven't read everything, don't know why Gehenna wants to leave. I don't see things now anywhere near as bad as 1968, and I was a teenager then.

The world wasn't as interconnected then as it is now, or maybe it was. In any case, things didn't move so fast back then. People had time to reflect (not to mention the mental capabilities to do so). I hope I'm wrong. I really do.

 

[Feline Supremacist]

I'm not leaving; in fact, I just might stay in the city. I've lived abroad and seen some shit. I have friends. I know my terrain. Most important, I know my enemy, real and perceived.

I used to joke and tell people Rambo started out with a K-bar and ended up blowing up a small town and taking the sheriff hostage. It's an exaggeration but it's not far from reality.

 

[Dog-O-Tron 5000v5.0]

I hope you're able to find somewhere that's actually better, because even outside of an End Times antichrist takeover thing, it's pretty clear that the Establishment cabal is not just a US thing anymore, globohomo has spread to the far corners of the earth.

This is what gets me. I honestly don't think if shit goes down that bad, there is anywhere safer to run to. This isn't like Jews in 1934 being able to nope out to free Britain or the US. It's more like:

---

So right now, even hearing this I'm pretty much here:

I don't care what happens. I'm not leaving. I'm not running. I still believe in my neighbors, my town, my country, even if it stopped believing in itself.

I've undergone hardship before, I can handle it again.

Less dooming and more Biden L's.

 

[Only A Retard Sometimes]

If there is a depression like some think its just as likely your money would become worth more not less. Depressions and recessions tend to be deflationary. deflation was 10% a year 30-33 and in 2008 it was 2%.

 

[Confused Doggo]

It's not want to leave, it is "I have a family I need to care for, can work remotely without missing a beat, and have the finances to do the move".

Precautionary, not "The sky is falling oh god!"




In retrospect, I could have eased the thread into that in a way that would have caused less... panic. Oops.

Nah, it's alright, it's just a mix of immediate reaction and some people thinking "what would I do if shit ACTUALLY hits the fan" and needing to revise their plans.

I do wish you well, though. Hopefully it will turn into something that can be laughed about later.

 

[Basil Julep]

Hell, due to circumstances in my own life I will actually be moving to entirely work remotely.

aww did you make a covid baby?

I already have enough kids, we know how to prevent them. No, I am moving out of country because I am worried about my family's safety.

In retrospect, I could have eased the thread into that in a way that would have caused less... panic. Oops.

OK this was like a novel.

 

[Kuritan Deplorable]

In a sane world, yes.

In a world where they see ridiculous inflation and conclude "we need to print more money to fight this", no. I have no doubt in my mind that they will try to fight this even harder than 2008 with even more helicopter money, right up until they physically cannot.

It's not want to leave, it is "I have a family I need to care for, can work remotely without missing a beat, and have the finances to do the move".

Its not a bad decision at all. I agree that while this is very unlikely to be the end of the world, it is the end of an Era. The US is very vulnerable to domestic terrorism for a multitude of reasons (Glowies can absolutely fight it, but stopping it is basically impossible), and any widespread unrest that hits that level will turn most if not all US attention inward for a few years. Thats when the rest of the world moves, and a lot of things get shaken up in the current order.

The only part I disagree with is the assessment regarding food stability. I highly doubt the possibility of widespread famine in North and Central America, but I do believe there will be a LOT of civil unrest from a shortage of food variety and general increase in the price of feeding yourself. Vegans gonna get fucked for sure, and everyone else is gonna be living off true staple foods and limited seasonings for a while. We are extremely spoiled in all things edible, and food riots are a distinct possibility as a result. Meat surprisingly isn't the big concern, vegetables are the big one, since we rely on synced harvest cycles around the world to keep up.

 

[BelUwUga]

Rice. Beans. (Multiple kinds). Flour. Cornmeal. Bottled Water and water filters. Canned meat. (Spam may not be good to eat but it'll do the trick) Cheap spices (Garlic salt, onion salt, pepper, Mrs. Dash) and basic bitch hot sauce.

Toilet paper. Light bulbs. Batteries (rechargable and non). Kerosene. Gasoline. Fuel pellets and tabs. Coleman heating/cooling stove about the size of a coffee can.

Long rifle, shotgun, pistol. Machete. 500 rounds of ammo for each. Get used to iron sights. All that tacticool shit is great right up until you drop your rifle. Red dot is for pussies.

Those are your basics.

There's a weird ugly undercurrent that I don't like.

Buy it now before your money is even further devalued by the non-existent inflation and the doesn't exist supply chain issues.

Or, point and laugh at me, your choice.

I'd recommend the classic waterproof matches and water purification tablets- even if you personally use something else. Super compact and very high in utility. It's a nice safety net to have and if anything it can be a bartering tool. Someone who got their week's water supply handled is unlikely to kill you later in your sleep to steal your water filter. The reality is in any serious situation you're unlikely to have/want to risk having a car unless you have a designated place to go. It's better to prep that comprehensively, have a barebones go-bag in case you're stuck on foot, and keep your vehicle equipped/dispositioned to get to the gettin' spot.

Iron sight mastery was required of me before I even got to handle any optic. It's a general skill any gunowner should have. That said, something like a Nikon 3x9 is fucking nice for hunting game. Get a Q/D mount with a repeatable zero, know how to bore-sight in the field, and don't beat your rifle like some caveman. If you do, take the scope off until you can site it in again. You're aiming for basketball-sized vital areas, not trying to pass sniper qualification.

 

[Aldeland]

I'm just looking foreword to the loot piñatas that are UN peacekeepers. My gun collection will have some nice foreign beauties added.

Government spending SOARED to the highest levels that had been seen in the great depression and they debased the gold content of the dollar and eventually removed the US from the gold standard in 1933 and there was still massive deflation.

And the US is naturally trending to isolationism and will do so even if there is not civil unrest. Imperialism and interventionism require a reason for the nation to pursue them. The US is running out of reasons. the current world order was established by the Bretton-woods agreement and the Marshall plan. In exchange for the US protection from the Russians and protection from pirates on the seas the free world would ally with the US to defeat the USSR, and use the Dollar in international trade. This scheme worked there was a visible benefit for the USA for people to see and receive the boons of. the US became the worlds economic leader.

But the USSR is gone now and the Russian Federation is so decrepit that they will NEVER be a threat to the United states or even western Europe ever again. Despite geriatric cold warrior sabre rattling in the federal government and in the Kremlin, there will be no war. This is because they can no longer get the support they need for it to happen. The US has all the resources to function alone. what things it can not make it gets from Canada and Mexico and after 40 years of interventionism the international world is not selling anymore. Its why hillary lost, its why populism swept away the Neo-cons, its why Biden is floundering, its why the Great reset wont happen and its why the current order will lose.

I just worry what the current order will do before it finally DOES lose.

That is melbourne. That is australias version of San Fransisco but more retarded.

A historic sperg out to be sure.

 

[HumanHive]

The problem I have with leaving the United States is:
Where else in the world has the kind of freedoms that the United States provides? Even while the First Amendment is being destroyed before our very eyes with the Biden administration ordering companies to crack the censorship whip, you'll find no replacement anywhere else. In every other country, the government treats you as a subject and not a citizen. So what exactly does running off to Eastern Europe or Oceania do for you? Buy you time for what exactly? You'll be keeping your head down and be forced to comply with increasingly arbitrary dictates anyway.

That's the secret of globalization. There is no refuge from it. You either submit or you're inevitably jailed or left penniless for wrongthink. There will be no occupation of the United States or Europe by "the UN" or by China, just the slow transformation of the country into a slum. If you think you'll be allowed to escape that fate by simply owning property in the boonies, you're out of your mind. They'll force you out and give the land to the Indians or use it as a nature reserve or even as a holiday house for the rich. They don't care about your property, in their eyes you shouldn't own anything at all. And your children are not yours either, they belong to the state to raise while you work. And this will be true everywhere, unless you really want to move to Russia or China - which will not treat foreign homesteaders kindly.

The only thing to do is fight here, and fight now. Write to your Congressmen, and get involved in politics. Don't run off like a coward, or you'll die a coward's death.

Which is why I have chosen to relocate. Everything is still completely on track to go well... in the end. It's the period between then and now which has me worried.

Don't run off like a coward, or you'll die a coward's death.

I'd note since this feels a little bit too much like a barb aimed at me. I remain working where I am. Providing analysis and insight to my employers who are in fact the very politicians working to pick up the pieces. I remain paying my taxes as an employee of an American company. And the move is, in theory, temporary. I am not selling my house or any other assets I have in America merely moving out of it while it works its shit out.
