[...]You have to identify the Marxists and fire them.[...]
Removing teleological materialistic universalistic collectivist from decision making position is not enough. The United States need to learn the lessons that Germany never learned - you don't leave teleological cultist and their opportunist alive if given the chance to remove sustainably. Firing them is just a momentary set back on their quest to reach their cults goal and regroup.
 
I came across a couple of videos that some of you might find interesting/informative. The second one is rather long and does require some attention in the listening.

 
This is a weird old man thing. My grandpa's sister's husband used to do this. I've seen lots of other old guys do this. If you watch old movies from the '30s and '40s, you will see people will do this (even relatively younger men). I've never understood it.
That's just how pants used to be cut. You didn't want an unsightly gap between your waist-coat and your trousers.

Waistlines came down once men stopped wearing jackets, but if you get a decent suit, the waist will be higher than jeans specifically so that you don't look like an idiot with your shirt visible between the button of your jacket and your trousers.
 
president who actually cares about his voters. All of his voters
Arguable.I don't think trump cares(emotionally) all that much.But he is more likely to listen to them, simply because he likes being liked and he likes his supporters backing him(Narcissist). I'm pretty sure he's still doing backdoor deals and other corrupt stuff(Trump Coin).
He's changing the economy for the better of the people,
Remains to be seen.The good effects of the tarrifs have not appeared in my opinion, and the job market is shitty.He is attempting to fix that with the H1b tightening though.

he's improving healthcare
hmmmm i dunno.We'll see when TrumpRx(what a name lol) comes about.

Also, fuck the Prime Directive. If you take any action, you are choosing to affect the universe around you. If you choose not to act at other times, that's also a choice. I always thought the Prime Directive presents an illusion of neutrality and a bit of moral cowardice.
Read the Star Trek novel Prime Directive by Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens, it is about the Enterprise encountering such a scenario.

With cannibals you gotta dance right back at them to establish dominance

It's MY weapon of choice!

As far as political book recommendations go:
  • The Russian Revolution by Richard Pipes (A longer book, but it gives great detail on how the communists took power, and Pipes does not white wash it at all)
  • Politics by Aristotle (It's one of the fundamental books for political philosophy)
  • The Prince by Machiavelli (It's a classic, and frankly I find his accounts of Italian history to be the most fascinating parts of the book)
Anything by Robert Art, Barry Posen, and Robert Pape is great for politics, foreign policy, and grand strategy. Art 100% called the results of NATO expansion.

Edit to add: also Mearsheimer. The chuds will like him because he's very critical of AIPAC and the groypers will like him because he blames the West for the Ukraine War, but Conventional Deterrence is a great book regardless. His older writings are great.

A 29 year old was killed in Charlotte. A suspect was arrested earlier but now another has been brought into custody, his name is Sanchez Nicholson. 33 prior arrests and MULTIPLE attempted murders.

I used to really respect Chomsky, but when I heard him say that people who don't want the COVID vax need to be isolated from society, I lost a lot of that respect. How does a guy who wrote the books on propaganda not see propaganda?
Chomsky was himself a propagandist for neoliberalism.

And "neo-liberalism" is nothing more than the rebrand of 1901 "new liberalism" - the Anglo version of socialism. Classic market liberalism with the addition of marxist terms like "common goods", a term that doesn't exist outside of the dogma of materialists, and serves to argue using the political sphere to secure certain monopoly and oligopoly, most prominent the ones of banks and their relationship to "legal tender" lending, for the "good" of the "collective"
 
So I was right to pin you as a "muh both sides" cuck.
The idiocy of your posts is staggering.

You want all the problems Trump is working on solving solved, but you don't want Trump to be the one to solve them, and you don't want the solutions that are working or that have been proposed and will likely work because?

Your politics are as incoherent as a vagrant on a fentanyl and Drano bender.

When someone is solving the problems you feel need solving, they deserve your support, not insipid nitpicking.
His posts make a lot more sense when you consider the following:

You seem pretty civil, but you gotta be kidding me that you are seeing no tangible effect. Have you checked the price of gas lately? The price of eggs? Did you see the victims of the hurricane in North Carolina completely abandoned by the Biden administration living in wreckage? Did you see Trump push to give them actual aid and to clean up the area? The proofs are there if you bother to look. Systematic problems are shadowy abstractions. I'm talking about real things happening now.
Trump getting that one couple's insurance company info and personally calling and getting their claim put through is one of the most amazingly great things I have ever seen a politician do.

The things Trump does out of his own personal fortune for people who have had shitty things happen to them, or that need one break to get on track is a long list, but mostly kept private. He did more before entering politics than most men of his business stature ever think about for everyday people, because he doesn't isolate himself from normal people and values their perspectives and knowledge of things he doesn't have direct experience with.

Trump deserves respect and admiration for actually, honestly, being a man of the people, and that is why the establishment fears him.
 
You ain't strictly wrong here, but I watched this vid, he actually spends very little of it addressing people who are literally calling for civil war, which he stated was very few people, and I think that we all agree on this. Instead, he mostly rails against how these people end up affecting society at large, how they slowly but surely shift the conversation to a much more violent, divided place. His examples given were that people often describe their political opposition in the same way they'd describe enemies at war, dehumanizing them, describing their opponents as doing things that only an enemy would do.
And this I agree with, I think the tone has gotten too separationist, "We can't co-exist, they won't change, we won't change", over these last 10 years.

We've devolved into almost a holy war.
Started when the left began injecting sexual politics everywhere with the justification, "It's not politics, it's called being a decent human being." So if you don't want two fags kissing and a mixed-race couple in every piece of entertainment you consume, you're just a bad person now. And if you're just a bad person, not merely expressing a political opinion, why should you have a job? So they started "deplatforming" people. First major scalp was Brendan Eich, fired from his CEO position at the company he founded because CA donor records revealed that he had made an entirely lawful donation to a popular ballot initiative. In other words, he had everything taken away from him because he lawfully participated in democracy. That was 2014. Since 2014, the rule is that you can't participate in democracy on the wrong side of the gay lobby, or they'll destroy your life. Then they kept adding more issues, got to the point where you'd better not even ask how they got a longitudinal study done on a novel vaccine in only 6 months, or you will lose your job.

They drew first blood, not us. They're the ones who decided hurting people is a valid political tool, not us. Well, sowing season is over, and now it's time to reap. And I can tell you, our side is going to be merciless, not out of revenge or spite, but because we've realized that we simply cannot have a political left in this country. There is no peaceful co-existence with leftists. You can't have democracy when one side believes that cheating, mob violence, murder, and ruining your life are valid campaign strategies.

The prices of things are coming down btw. Not all at once, but they are. There are areas still high, but a lot of that can be explained by shortages in materials, like aluminum. Talked about cans like 20 pages back, but aluminum is worth a lot now. The US has some Bauxite reserves, but a lot is imported. Gas is weird. It depends where you are. It isn't Biden levels anymore where I'm at, but I'd like it to be under 3.
 
The Venezuelan opposition leader won the Nobel Peace Prize.

The only reason she is still alive is due to American support, which makes stiffing Trump even more ridiculous.

I'd add The Grand Chessboard by Brzezinski and World Order by Kissinger
 
An example would be the corridor to West Berlin. East German highway that the Western Powers had the right to use.
I also really like this video. They even had a train! Amazing.

Destination Berlin (1989) - British guide on getting to West Berlin [YUJ7GbxWGoM].webm

That was cool to watch, because I knew they had a designated route but just how petty it was to ignore the East Germans and only speak to the Soviets was eye opening, makes it sound to the GDR were wannabe Gypsies. Reading up on the time, the only "good" commie country that came close to being functional was East Germany because of the innate German mindset/ethic making it a possibility, but they were still beholden to the gays in Russia. And now those are the remaining Germans who are trying desperately to Auslander Raus.

Trump put his faith in the five people on the Norwegian Nobel Committee to give him the peace prize. This is the same group that gave one to Obama for existing. No idea why anyone expects them to make good decisions.
