We will only have peace with [the Arabs] when they love their children more than they hate us." -Golda Meir.

In the classic "old money vs. new money" , he certainly fits the mold of a Nouveau Riche(meant as an insult, but could be a badge of honor, think unsinkable Molly Brown). And yes, those who subscribe to "Der Wille zur Macth" (the will to power), cling to it like a man hanging over a cliff. Power is a drug more addictive than Heroin. The analogy of Gollum and the Ring of Power is apt.

  22.  @napsclub  It was once said that the victors write the history. And that is true to a certain extent. The victors trying to minimize and downplay what they did wrong while emphasizing and often exaggerating the wrongs of their opponents. Classic case I like to use is Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto. He was quoted as saying "you have to dictate terms to the US from the White House". American media for decades played this up as a jingoistic brag. In reality, he was warning Tojo and company the difficulty of making war on the US. Another example is that he is quoted as saying to his men after reading the after-action report on the Pearl Harbour attack: "Gentlemen, we have just kicked a rabid dog". Again, American media made it out to be an insult. In reality, he was making the observation that the sneak attack will have the same fatal result as if a rabid animal had bitten you. And there are several more examples littering history of such disproportionate analysis and hyperbole of the situation. Genghis Khan's brutality. The excesses of the Julio-Claudean dictators of Rome. The "peaceful and noble" nature of the heart eating Aztecs. et. al.

  32. Indeed. This is corporate oligarchism not much different in practice than a monopoly, hence the anti-trust statutes as you point out.

  52.  @hopliteluke1452  And the people who acted under its unlawful actions should still be held accountable. The cases still need to go to court so as to set the precedent that until the act is ratified, such actions are not lawful. Otherwise, this will happen all over again. And he will retract the act after 5 days, only to reissue it again after 2-3 thereby doing an end-around.

  53. Which is why the defendants need to demand to see their cases goes to court so as to set a precedent that until the act is ratified, it has no legal power and that those who take action under that act before it is ratified WILL be held to account for unlawful actions.

This may surprise you, but farm raising a species for consumption actually helps to preserve that species. Despite the claim, there are some certain nutrients and proteins the human body needs that can ONLY come from meat. Plant based substitutes for it is similar to rabbit starvation, Kwashiorkor, Beriberi, or Pellagra. But I agree with you about the power mongers in Davos trying to make one world currency they can control. This is Orwell-Huxley levels of dystopian nightmare.

Do you think Yorktown would have been possible if Virginia didn't join New England in rebellion against the crown? That is the problem with people like you, it shows total ignorance of history, cherry picking only those parts that you can make use of and ignoring anything that doesn't help your cause.

  110.  @earlofmar7987  No joke. I value loyalty, but as part of that requires one to be brutally honest; I want to be told what I NEED to hear, not what I want to hear. Without sincerity there is no loyalty. Too many of these people told Trump what he wanted to hear, not what he needed to hear. They were being dishonestly sycophantic to benefit themselves, not do what is right by the American people as you so succinctly pointed out. Part of what has frustrated me to no end with the conservative movement since I ran for office is that as a John F. Kennedy Democrat, I would tell them cold hard truths that they NEEDED to hear, but they chose to ignore me in favor of the "lies, tell me sweet little lies". And time and again I am vindicated when the local GOP candidates sent to the state house or DC behave exactly as I warned. Not that it matters, because being invited to legislative breakfasts or GOP Christmas parties is more important to them than supporting candidates of principle regardless of political affiliation. Likewise, Trump allowed establishment operatives into his camp and the behaved exactly as many of us such as Steve Bannon had warned. He was far too trusting of people who are in the business of deception to defraud the people. "Government is the great fiction through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else." -Fredrich Bastiat Anyhow, sorry for my rant.

Trump was also warned, but ignored them. His loss in 2020 had just as much to do with getting rid of the team that helped him win in 2016 as it did with election fraud. His team from 2016 would not have let 2020 election go without a serious fight.

  114.  @BLUEYGILA  False revisionist history? You need to actually do your homework. All of the Canaanites were put to the sword. Not a single one survived. The Arabs who lived in the region before 1948 were of Bedouin heritage most of whom were settled there by the ROMAN EMPIRE after the Jewish Revolt of 73AD. The region has ALWAYS been called JUDEA since antiquity. Even Egyptian documents dating to the Pharaohs refer to it as such. "Palestina" was a work invented by Emperor Vespasian Caesar in an attempt to erase the Jewish history of the area.

  124.  @hopliteluke1452  Again more strawman arguments. Theft and murder are CLEAR moral values that cut across ALL cultures. As does the right of self-defense. You haven't proven your point; you have instead chosen to engage in scurrilous anti-religious disparagements. You point to one example and then pretend that is the norm rather than the exception. Your problem is that you can't accept that there are very few absolutes in the world. And those that have been so since antiquity and will remain so until eternity. Those few absolutes DO make up the objectively verifiable morality. But because everything isn't black and white to you, you assume nothing is. That is the problem with your moral relativism argument. It is the false choice dilemma taken to the extreme. PS, the Categorial Imperative formulated by Emmanuel Kant conclusively proves you wrong.
    1
  125.  @hopliteluke1452  Nice strawman argument. The right to self-defense is an OBJECTIVE argument, not subjective. Why? because killing in self-defense is NOT murder but justified homicide. Major difference. Subjective morality would say that there is no right to self-defense because to moral relativists, ANY killing is murder. Unless said murder advances their political goals. I didn't walk into a corner; you are simply using logical fallacies to defend your untenable position. Use of logical fallacies show you don't have much merit to your arguments.

  126.  @hopliteluke1452  No, morals are NOT subjective. Murder is OBJECTIVLY wrong, and that is a MORAL value. Theft is OBJECTIVLY wrong and is also a moral value. You are advocating that might makes right, and that those who have the power define morality.

  136.  @genxer74  Indeed. For all of the flaws of the British Empire during the age of Discovery and the Colonial period, one thing that stood true was to judge one based on the merits of their actions.

  141. And by doing that, you make yourselves subservient to China just like Germany was to cheap Russian energy. Don't be that daft.

  142. Domestically sourced and produced isn't affected by tariffs. Hence the poor buying local don't ever pay tarriffs. Stop using the globalist elite's favorite strawman argument (logical fallacy).
    1
  143. Tarriffs don't apply to domestic and locally produced products. If the Subaru plant in the US sources its parts from American manufacturers, then it becomes a domestically produced, foreign branded product and is not affected by tarriffs. Stop making the strawman argument of the globalist elites who want you to live in the pod and eat the bugs.

  144. Hamas thanked Iran for their financial and material support. In any court of law, that would be admissible evidence/testimony.

  164.  @albertroberts5929  Nice Strawman argument. Israel has spent six years fighting for its very survival against people who want to wipe them off the map. Your "occupation" claim is hogwash because there are Muslim Arab members of the Knesset. Occupiers don't allow those they are subjugating to have representation in the government.
    1
  165.  @albertroberts5929  Yes, and the Palestinians threatened to drive Israel into the see first in 1948, then again in 1967. They have NEVER renounced that and have ALWAYS rejected Israel's right to exist. Also, the IDF pulled completely out of Gaza in 2005. So calling that area "occupied" is totally disingenuous.

  199.  @pwillis1589  And all of them are biased towards the left.
