  1. It's according to which protestant sect. A few of the sects are responsible for socialism and communism in the states, and have been since its founding. That's something that's never discussed, and the problem is always blamed on another religious group, even though they were late-comers to socialism. When that group arrived, as immigrants, the seeds for the socialists were already in place, which started in Boston and spread to NYC. In NYC, the children of the immigrants, (arriving late 1800s and after), who would do anything to make it big, broke away from the religious beliefs of their parents, and joined in with the socialists already there, along with the mob. That was back in the 1920s, or so. It was only a portion of the immigrants that brought with them the socialism that was spreading across Europe. Hardliner Calvinism, (the Reformed), is really at the roots of much of what we see as being off, (in the evangelical Anglicans, especially, in the 1800s), as well as sects like the Unitarians, Quakers, and the Hutterites, etc. Other protestant sects, when visiting, will demand that you stay for supper, and if you need a place to stay, while there, you're invited to.

  2. Look at the autonomous farmers in the rural country of the old Soviet Union that did not flock to the cities for their great experiment. What did Stalin do to them? He created a famine to get rid of them, and gave the grain to the ones that flocked to the factories and traded the rest. The factory workers were nothing but mindless drones under the control of the Kremlin.

  3. When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back at you. That is what looking at one's reflection does. Really, it all boils down to an ingrained jealousy in a leftist that never leaves them. They are jealous of those that have skills that they do not have, those that are smarter than them, those that have more wealth than them, and those that live a better life than them. Thus, they demand that they have this handed to them as well, but without changing themselves, so that they can become successful as well.

  4. It's the Ds feminist propaganda machine. What they do is a type of propaganda called the "Common Folk," technique, where they act as if they're the same as every woman in the West, when they're really wealthy and entitled propagandists.

  5. The govs are trying to normalize every perversion. In The Sessions (2012), Helen Hunt tries to tell the paralyzed poet that she's “a surrogate, not a prostitute.” The first thing that came out of my mouth was, what ever makes you sleep at night, and, keep telling yourself that.

  6. Think Christian Socialism with him, and you'll have it. In reality, the Social Gospel supported many of the same things that Marx pushed.

  7. Vice is generally defined as the immoral or wicked behavior of pleasure or amusement seeking. Many activities fall under this definition from drug and alcohol consumption, prostitution and sex, gaming or gambling, amusements and entertainment, the carnival and circus, and indulgence in fine foods, etc. This is why organized crime took over most of these activities, which is known as the "amusements racket," because people become addicted or overindulge in them, and since many were declared illegal, there is a huge profit in them.

  8. Did you ever wonder if the activists are as numerous as they are claimed to be by the media and some in gov? Is their movement as really as large as it's made out to be, by some, or is it really only a small percentage of society that's magnified by using propaganda? No, America is far from gone, believe me, as many of us have noticed that the claims of a giant uprising isn't true, and it's only to be found in small pockets. At that, many activists travel in from elsewhere to cause their chaos in the states it's not found in. Now, we've begun asking why that is. I would about bet that you will find a similar thing in Britain. One can consider the Anglo tribes, the Americans and the British, as two political tribes that are, or were, close to the same that are built upon liberalism, individualism, and capitalism, which are competing against several other tribes of different beliefs around the globe. What the activists seem to hate are the values of these two nations. Ask yourself why. Green-eyed... TIK has some of the better historical videos about the history of socialism and communism, and they explain much, especially why many left-wing activists are anti-Semitic, since they see the Jews as the fathers of capitalism, liberalism, and individuality, though that's not really true. That hatred was in both Marx and Engels' own words, as well as in the Soviets, and the NSDAP, too. Now, after WWII, think about the differing socialist tribes agreeing to mix their old ideologies together, and trying to bring about a new form of it. The socialists knew, after a while, that the only way to do so was by revolution and lies, because, even then, they didn't have the people to pull it off in much of the west.

  10. Liberals switched from saying “the devil made me do it,” to blaming someone else, or some other group. That is the classic narcissist that makes up the modern liberal culture. If they can't win their argument, they always resort to reversing the roles of victim and offender. They will never admit guilt.

  11. The same thing occurred in revolutionary France under Robespierre. You either fell in with the new regime or got the guillotine.

  12. Look at what happened to Zimbabwe. Their downfall came with the backing of China and Russia, with Smith and Mugabe. Rhodesia might have been apartheid, but the nation was solvent until the takeover of Mugabe. Socialism and corruption are at the root of the second type of liberalism and progressivism.

  13. All part of the "United States of Europe" plan. Europe didn't start this, it was forced upon the states at the end of WWII. If they didn't comply, there was no money. What, then, would the war torn and broke nations say to the US, which held the purse strings? The UN, and all of it came from this. It was Wilson's plan on steroids.

  15.  @Thomas-rv1wi  I think it has a different meaning, here, in the US. It's from those that love to hyphenate. Out of my four grandparents, three surnames are English, and one is French. One of my great-great-grandmothers was a Fuller from Germany, which would have been in the 1860s. Really, in the US, there is a lot of mixture, but mine was predominately English. It's especially so in Virginia and Kentucky, with many. The four were Mattingly, Bingham, Hackney, and Ramey. The way I see it, you are what you're born. I would be a North American on one hand, and since the US is made up of fifty states, I am a Kentuckian, due to being born there, with mostly English ancestry. The French in me was from the Huguenots that came here; the Remi family, renamed Ramey.

  20. The Zoomers' parents were the hippies from the sixties and seventies. Their parents essentially created red-diaper babies, and they, along with their parents, were the beginning of the New Left, and were a mix of different socialist factions from the Fourth International.

  21. I wonder if those kids, because that's what they are, know that your environment and beliefs can change your genetic expression, as well as that of your descendants? It's called epigenetics, which studies the chemical modifications to your DNA (parts turned on or off) caused by the environment and your beliefs.

  22. What I have noticed with the liberal left are two things. It's mostly made up of narcissists, and those at the top of the ideology have an ulterior motive, in that they'll have a two-class society, with them being wealthy and running things, while those outside of the “party” are made to be nothing more than chattel slaves, who own nothing. That was why Engels was so infatuated with the ideas of Robert Owen, and with the French philosophers such as Henri de Saint-Simon.

  23. He was a confidence artist, a fraud, who started a religion (cult) to make money. He obtained the idea from the OTO, and created a backstory about aliens to support it. “At a meeting of the Eastern Science Fiction Association in November 1948, L Ron Hubbard said, 'You don't get rich writing science fiction. If you want to get rich, you start a religion.'”

  25. They had started experimenting with opium, and what became Laudanum, in the sixteenth century. By the time of the Civil War, in the US, they also had Morphine (1820s), but the supply was sometimes low, thus, you got the patient drunk on whiskey before surgery. They also had chloroform at that time, but, again, the supply needed wasn't enough. "The most influential work [on opium] was by George Young, who published a comprehensive medical text entitled Treatise on Opium (1753). Young, an Edinburgh surgeon and physician, wrote this to counter an essay on opium by his contemporary Charles Alston, professor of botany and materia medica at Edinburgh, who had recommended the use of opium for a wide variety of conditions. Young countered this by emphasising the risks '...that I may prevent such mischief as I can, I here give it as my sincere opinion... that opium is a poison by which great numbers are daily destroyed.' Young gives a comprehensive account of the indications for the drug, including its complications. He is critical about writers whose knowledge of the drug is based on chemical or animal experiments rather than clinical practice. The treatise is a detailed, balanced, and valuable guide to prevailing knowledge and practice. As it gained popularity, opium, and after 1820, morphine, was mixed with a wide variety of agents, drugs, and chemicals including mercury, hashish, cayenne pepper, ether, chloroform, belladonna, whiskey, wine, and brandy."__Wiki on Laudanum. During the Opium Wars, both the US and UK knew of the practical medical uses of opium, especially the Scots. The Civil War was what caused the great addiction to opioids, which, eventually, brought about the Harrison Narcotics Act in 1915.

  26. All the chaos was planned. Certain "grass-roots" groups didn't just suddenly spring up to cause havoc, the govs wanted it because, while there's chaos, you don't notice what the govs are doing behind the scenes.

  27. A lot of this crap is slowly disappearing. Have you noticed how the feminists have almost stopped complaining about man spreading, and other things? Their fad is dying as they're exposed as cretins.

  28. The US, especially due to Wilson, wanted to use war debt to demand an end to colonialism via the League of Nations. They were blaming colonialism for everything then, just as they do, today. WWII is what finished it off with the inception of the UN, and more war debt. All those loans had strings attached. Forced to pull out of the colonies, it left behind squalor, starvation, and collapse, along with the creation of many dictator states.

  29. All of it is over a group of Malthusian crackpots and cranks looking to "stop war" at the end of WWII. It's been in planning for that long, but the worst of it came about in 1968, which is when CC and "sustainability" were dreamed up, and the hoax was fabricated. They created a club at Rome, led by Alexander King from the OECD, and began changing science as we know it (to fit their paradigm), which began eroding the teaching of the subject itself. They were taught that they could lie, and get away with it.

  31. This is a very good topic, which I have also studied, and it leads us to a history of how the definition of certain words has changed over time. Libertinism is one such word, but the change in its definition is older than some think. Some of that was even based upon a misunderstanding of Epicurus, which goes back to the years after the restoration with the early libertines, where some libertines disagreed with others about what Epicureanism was.

  33. Oikophobia has grown due to contra movements being set up within a nation by other nations. In the US, we know this well, as it started with the Soviet Union, Cuba, and China taking advantage of the Civil Rights Movement, which they hijacked. They taught its followers to hate the US and capitalism via propaganda, and they also taught them a fake history about the US and the West. Britain is just now going through what we've been fighting off since the nineteen-fifties.

  34.  @MrReubenTishkoff  Oh, they have a private party-club, with masks, just for this, or did in LA. There was another close to NYC that was held in a mansion. You had to pay an expensive entrance fee to join the fun. The one in LA was big-time people. Another, is held in Venice. I saw a video from it where nude women walked around with lampshades on their heads. Really weird. Venice is where it's still really popular.

  35. The Cold War was ended by Reagan much easier than you would think. KT McFarland revealed how they did it, by simply going to the international banks, and informing them that the Soviet Union couldn't pay their debt payment, along with having the Saudis drastically drop the oil prices, and drill. The banks cut them off, as she stated that the first thing they did, when Reagan took office, was look into the Soviet Union's finances. Next, the Soviets depended on selling oil to make their payment. You get the picture.

  36. I think the availability of the internet, to everyone, is the cause of much of the perversion we now see. Some of that perversion is from brainwashing viewers, whereas, one example, is certain videos from Russia, which show the mistreatment of women in every "blue movie type" video. Others from there are even worse, which are originating from Russia and the old Soviet bloc states. Viewers see these videos and think that what they see is normal behavior. The states making these videos, I believe, are trying to normalize these acts by brainwashing the viewers in the West.

  37. The problem with the Bushes, in mention, were their Whiggish and progressive desire to spread Federalism around the globe at the end of a gun barrel. If it's still available, GHW Bush was caught on video down in Rio for one of the Earth Summits, where he bragged about how the US was leading the charge for what they were doing. Oddly, though, GW Bush didn't believe in their green agenda, and tried to keep the US out of it.

  38. You're forgetting about the contribution of the Templars, in not only banking and money, but it's huge shipping and trade conglomerate that was spread over several Western European states. That gave Western Europe a leg up over every other nation just a few hundred years later. Funny, too, that the last of them not only settled in but were protected by, Portugal.

  39. Britain was a latecomer to the triangular trade and legalized slavery, even in the colonies, until the Casor case in 1655. After that, people wanted it banned. No, the triangular trade, and the invention of the plantation, was the deed of the Portuguese, and the RCC allowed it, so it wasn't all Christians that were against it.

  41. The Dispensationalists believe in the "great tribulation," and many of them wish to bring that about after 2000. " They maintain beliefs in premillennialism, a future restoration of national Israel, and a rapture of the Church that will happen before the second coming, generally seen as happening before a period of tribulation." It starts with John Nelson Darby and the Plymouth Brethren, where "they did not have any liturgy, order of service, or even any ministers; in their view, since their guide was 'the Bible alone' they sought to do it according to their own interpretation of the biblical text." You're dealing with unhinged zealots with this lot.

  45. Hollywood is part of the "amusements racket," and has been from its founding, which was run by the mob. That leads back to Vaudeville, where it also occurred, and theater, which came from Europe. There have been several books written about this.

  47.  @dominuslogik484  I'm 59, now, and grew up through the Cold War. I remember when the wall fell in Berlin, and I said at that time, it will take a long time for those states to recover. The only people that had money were labeled the “Cold War Castoffs,” and they were organized crime figures from the black market. That's who ended up stealing all the major industries for pennies on the dollar, with Yeltsin's help. That's why there is so much corruption in the old bloc today.

  49. Here's how Jackie was reared. She was born into a wealthy French Catholic family, and learned the languages that she did from the moment she could talk, where she was taught by her family. She went to a girl's prep school, where they taught them to become a trophy wife, as her family associated with the WASPs. Furthermore, she started to attend Vassar, but "spent her junior year (1949–1950) in France—at the University of Grenoble in Grenoble, and at the Sorbonne in Paris—in a study-abroad program through Smith College. Upon returning home, she transferred to George Washington University in Washington, D.C., graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in French literature in 1951." Her education was lacking, so, "during the early years of her marriage to John F. Kennedy, she took continuing education classes in American history at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C." to catch up. Back then, trophy wives were "passed on" because of who their families were. Really, it's not much different today in many circumstances.

  50. What has happened is ever-increasing inflation, which devalues all money, and the offshoring of good-paying jobs, which has led to large-scale unemployment or working for peanuts. That's why no children are being born, as nobody wants to rear children if they have no good future.
