POLITICAL THREAD

[WayneDougan]

The best deal in history is getting "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" on Audible. It's like 57 hours of content on the rise and fall of Hitler and the Nazis for $12. And the narrator is excellent. It was written by an American jounalist who was stationed over there during the 30's and the War. And it was obviously written back then so the woke nonsense wasn't involved. It really enhanced my understanding of how effed up Hitler and that crew were. Some points:

• Talk about stealing an election; Hitler took the cake on that. He never came close to winning one. He came to power through backroom deals and shady nonsense.
• All the "Hitler was good at first" stuff was complete crap. When any success did occur it was more of a blind monkey throwing darts is gonna hit the target now and then situation. He screwed up a hell of a lot more than he solved economically.
• We tend to think of the main target of the Nazis as the Jews; and it was based on Mein Kompf and his actions killing 6M+ of them. But in WWII he basically decided he wanted to kill ALL of the Russians too. It wasn't going to be "oh, the Russians surrendered and we'll take some land." It was "every last one of them is going to die".
• I still don't blame France for not being game to fight, especially after WW1.

Never has been, never will be, a country with more opportunity than us now.

For people of every race, creed, gender, or sexual orientation. No matter how awful all those idiot Libs out protesting in the streets think they have it, there is no place on this planet where they’d have more opportunity.

Capitalism was an improvement over the previous feudalism just as feudalism was an improvement over the previous slavery. The system that comes after capitalism will be the next improvement in line.

And capitalism celebrates that greed instead of sublimating it. As Gordon Gekko famously opined, "Greed is good. Greed is right. Greed works." Greed is the defining feature of capitalism. Its sole virtue. Thy one and only commandment: Acquire Profit for the Shareholders. Everything else be damned.

You mean the system that the WEF wants the world to use? The one that RESTRICTS our freedoms?

That is satire right?



Right?

50 million chickens died last year. The largest bird influenza on record. That's a reason why prices are high.

Also, the WSJ is a conservative paper while Vox is liberal. So this meme is misleading.

Boy, that flew right over your head didn't it?

Uni-party. Media propaganda arm of said UNI-PARTY.

Not sure the meme could be any more clear. 🤔

 

[JumperJack]

Pure BS. You and I both know the circumstances of your birth matter. It's the entire meaning of the phrase "Born on third base." Rich kids have more opportunities than poor kids. That is an undeniable fact. What an insanely bleak outlook to think this is the best we can ever accomplish.

This is the biggest falsehood you’ve ever told. You’ve been propagandadized.

Name one place in human history that has allowed more opportunity to those at the bottom. We’ll wait.

 

[trueblujr2]

Conservatives. And most Republicans.

This is an insane paragraph. You're literally equating white supremacists in America to Jews in Nazi Germany and saying we shouldn't discriminate against them. Yes we should discriminate against white supremacists.

Which is half of America to you. You justify discrimination against WHI SUPREMASISES when the left has vastly broadened what constitutes a WHI SUPREMASIS by overusing the term and applying it, along with “racist” to any person, white or black, who doesn’t kneel at the alter of BLM.

Republicans aren’t the ones playing identity politics and creating division.

Are you denying that anti-LGBTQ rhetoric is prevalent on the right? We see it here every single day man.

Are you denying that anti-Christian rhetoric is prevalent on the left? We see it here from you all the time.

Demi was asked "what is your favorite dish?".... She answered "mugs, because you can put stuff like coffee and hot chocalate in them and not burn your hand"... That is not a joke... that was her answer.

Meanwhile, those I know who had the shots are going on their 3rd and 4th rounds of covic....

I haven’t had a bout since Jan of 22 and that was just a mild cough for a few days. I take vitamin D and C every day. My only other bout was Jan of 21.

Vanguard is owned by its funds which in turn are owned by the fund holders. Net, Vanguard investors own those shares of those media companies.

No. The board makes the decsions and the avg investor is unaware of decisions made at a micro or macro level. It's why esg is expanding despite most Americans opposing it especially people who actually invest in funds.

 

[trueblujr2]

I see that the two likes to this post have absolutely no idea that 12 of 14 points describe “progressivism” to a T. Holy shit.

Everything the left gripes about is pure projection.

 

[JumperJack]

Dion, what is the anti-gay rhetoric you’re talking about? Can you be specific?

Dec 2019 for me. Friend of a friend traveled to China and brought it back to share with all of us. Been doing the same with supplements. A few others besides the D and C. Been around a bunch of people who were sick with it while I was meeting with them and found out/told me later. I've been blessed not to get it. Supplements are good in general for health, but I know God has more to do with it than what I eat or drink.

It amazes that liberals don't understand where food comes from. Outside of California the vast majority of food in the US comes from Red States. Red States also produce more energy than they use on avg and Blue States use more...

I'm not a genius but I have read your incessant posts on here. And compared to you I am an absolute Einstein. With you its always about whataboutism. Tucker Carlson could be arrested for killing someone and you'd just come back with "what about Hunter's emails".

Except Tucker didn't kill anyone and we have seen Hunter's emails....

I love movies like The Big Lebowski and This Is Spinal Tap, shows like Curb Your Enthusiasm, and comedians like Norm MacDonald and George Carlin. Not saying my comedic taste is better than anyone else's, but I will say that amateur political comedy is pretty awful. May God have mercy on your painfully unfunny souls.

It was left wing comedians that ruined late night comedy and SNL. Don't blame our side. Your side went off the deep end so bad that humor is sexist.

 

[JumperJack]

Sometimes a post is made that is worth more than 1000 others because of how revealing it is. Ivy League? You think that successful means Ivy League?

My dad and FIL were factory workers. Their dads were farmers, like their dads. Me and wife went to college, own a home, have accumulated some wealth. We’re more successful (and lucky) than 99.99% of people that ever lived on this rock and had none of those things on that list. (Unless it was the good name my parents gave me that they earned by staying out of trouble.) Most of us in America can say the same. And we owe it to the generations before us. who understood clearly that this is a garden spot on earth, despite the imperfections.

What a childish notion. No wonder the left is so messed up. They evidently truly think that everything somebody has was stolen in some way.

Trump going to Ohio.

I bet Biden releases some funds

By the way, Joe cheated the election in 2020 and the FBI and Nancy set up Jan 6th

Sounds good!

Great list!

 

[hmt5000]

Democrats aren't doing that though. It's Fox and conservative media saying that.

Like if one democrat said something outlandish, and they have, then Fox would say "Democrats said xyz" when in reality it was one person or a small number of people.

On the flipside you literally have the conservative media arm spreading lies about the election or how liberal cities are burning to the ground when it's just not true.

3 Republican city council members have been shot and killed the last month in NJ. Probably haven't heard about it because the media doesn't care about pubs getting shot. Just like when a Bernie supporter shot up a Pub baseball practice... which by sheer luck had 2 police officers there... that was on the news for about 2 days. We are still talking about j6 and the only person that died was a female Trump voter.

Reread what i said. It is the truth. You will never have more opportunity than you do here. The most humanly possible.

Name a country that provides more opportunity, then prove it.

Never has been, never will be, a country with more opportunity than us now.

It is in no way the "most humanly possible." That is insanely arrogant and shows no understanding of the arc of history. We are only the present. The future extends far out before us just as the past does behind. We will do much better than America 2023. That is inevitable.

Any election with drop boxes and mail in voting is a sham. I don’t care who wins.

You never want a communist attempting to describe capitalism. Especially the communist whose whole life has benefited from capitalism.

What do you want? I can bookmark posts from now on. Here's one off the top of my head:

Hooray for Arizona ! 🍺 get rid of all drag and gay crap

 

[Caveman Catfan]

They modeled theirs on ours, not the other way around. And no one is asking for equality of outcome, just equality of opportunity.

And, this suggests you would have believed the lies about Jews in Nazi Germany.

You're the one who's deluded. You and your family have worked for everything they've ever gotten. Meanwhile the owners and landlords were leeching off of that labor the entire time. Parasites were stealing your hard earned money and you kiss their rings and thank them. Meanwhile you curse as thievery the collection of taxes for the elderly to not starve. The owners are the thieves, your family are the ones who produced those goods. Being successful enough to own a home is not who 'Tax the Rich! refers to. Mega-yachts actually exist. Hardworking Americans should be on the side of other hardworking Americans. Not Elon Musk or Bill Gates or any of the other billionaires who buy and sell influence worth more than your entire life's net worth.

I still don't blame France for not being game to fight, especially after WW1.

In 1914 France’s population was about 40,000,000, of whom 827,000 were under arms with a trained reserve of 1,325,000. Of Germany’s population of approximately 68,000,000, its regular forces totaled 761,000 and 1,180,000 stood in reserve. Both countries had about 5,000,000 other young men to be conscripted into service if necessary.

In 1939 France’s population still stood at 40,000,000 and it had mobilized 900,000 combatants. Nazi Germany’s population, swelled by its assimilation of Austria and the Sudetenland into its aegis, totaled some 80,600,000 and a total of 4,722,000 were in some form of Wehrmacht service.


France truly lost a generation of young men to ww1. 1.5 million deaths and 4.2 million wounded. So total casualties at 71% of all French that fought. Their fighting age male population wouldn't have rebounded until when, 1960s, 1970s without additional war?

I was watching Col Macgregor talk about how France's military had become overrun with political yes men instead of hard military strategist after ww1. The win gave France a since of superiority and they didn't feel like they had to try to stay safe and instead just needed to look good and feel good. He made a direct correlation to our leadership in the US military calling Milley out specifically.

Yes, I do care about violent crime. And, since I am an adult, I can care about two things at the same time.

Btw, there is a thread about a white collar criminal from UK who just got arrested for stealing millions from investors.
