  1. my favorite thing in college was getting people to agree with hitler quotes on socialism without telling them the source of the quote. This was pre-web and pre-search engines

  4. Control of information is essential to cults whose purpose is to destroy reality and create a new one for its members. Everybody wants to rule the world.🎶 Tears for Fears

  5. Fascism is not the opposite of communism. The two are brothers ave the same parentage and the same ideology (the state is king). The only difference is whose state is king, Italy, Germany or Russia.

  6. John D. Rockefeller and many of his NGOs were very influential in shaping the US school system. Robert Muller at the UN created a "World Core Curriculum"

  8. $0.5M is spent on every class. $17,500/student X 24 students per class. Where is all of the money going? I could teach 4 kids in my living room for $80k/year and guarantee that they'll pass the GED by the 8th grade.

  14. The Decline of the West by Oswald Spengler describes the arc of civilizations and perfectly predicted the 20th century

  15.  @JoshuaRed-v4f  Communism is a religion. Read some Marx and Engels. Marx (who was an absolute loser IRL) started by writing about philosophy and then was paid by a religious group to write the manifesto.

  16. On the plus side, I've really spent a lot of time studying fascism, socialism and communism. I would recommend reading the 25 points of national socialism, The Doctrine of Fascism, and Science, Politics and Gnosticism. Seriously these are not long texts. S,P&G is the longest at about 95 pages, the DoF is all of 20 pages

  18.  @sigurdholbarki8268  Yes. Communism, another word for Utopia, is the goal, socialism is the means. Lenin said that he was a Fabian socialist, promoting gradual non-violent revolution through subversion.

  29. In the 90's out of college, I worked for two years at a company designing a widget. We had a team of about two dozen people. I don't remember the specs, but it came out weighing maybe 10lbs and 20w of power and cost millions of dollars. Today I could (and actually have) build a clone with parts from ebay over a weekend. And it was more accurate, powered from a couple 18650 batteries and you could talk to it over a cellphone. Granted it was brand new at the time and nobody had ever done it, but not everybody knows how to build anything thanks to the internet. The problem I see, is that we should have deflation instead of inflation.

  40. Is that wrong? I had multiple teachers in grade school tell the class that they were glorified baby sitters. I think the first time that I heard this was the 4th grade. Education is the easiest college major.

  41. I remember cooking for my family when I was in the first grade. In the mornings I had to go out, get the chicken eggs, fry them for breakfast, pack my own lunch for school (and no I never got anything like "lunchables" or snack pack potato chips), the come home and wash the dishes (usually under threat). Also in the first grade, we made donuts in class from canned biscuits and a deep fryer, probably highly illegal today. I had a roommate after college who couldn't heat soup in microwave🤦‍♂

  54.  @richardavery4692  Why do you need to follow an economic model? Capitalism isn't an economic model, it's how humans naturally trade with each other free of constraints. Adam Smith wrote a description, not prescription. The only real rule is private property, concept that most animals seem to grasp in nature. It's probably an evolutionary advantageous idea

  60. Lee Majors, The Bionic 🏃Man™, made a movie about 15 minute cites and electric cars in the 1970's titled The Last Chase. Its predictions are so accurate, it's scary, almost like it's been planed, but not really.

  61. Gnosticism is the root of modernity. Eric Voegelin argued that communism, alongside other modern ideologies like National Socialism and progressivism, can be understood as a form of secularized Gnosticism, essentially claiming that communism acts as a "religion of Gnosticism" by mirroring key Gnostic beliefs in a political context; particularly the idea of achieving a utopian "heaven on earth" through revolutionary action, rather than through traditional religious practices. Some of the beliefs of Gnosticism include: The god of the Old Testament is the devil Jesus is trying to liberate people from the god of the Old Testament Humans are Gods who need to realize their inherent Divinity The material cosmos is the result of a primordial error by a divine being

  63. It was intentional and had to be done (the banks are out of money). But they couldn't go to congress and ask for $6 trillion like they did in 2008. As long as we can keep getting into wars we can keep the system pumped up and going, but there is no steady state in a pyramid/ponzi, it's inflate or collapse. Towards the end it becomes increasingly difficult to control; die by hyperinflation or die by depression. Dollars that aren't worth anything or no dollars, what is the difference?

  69.  @Bgrosz1  You have to understand that 'success' as in raising people's lives is not the goal. Absolute equality in every metric is. If we're all digging in the mud to eat worms and there is no one on the planet in a higher class, then that is success. When everyone is a clone of everyone else, there can be no more envy and peace will ensue. It kinda makes sense in a grade school hypothetical understanding of reality. The revolution is to remove any inequality that can be found

  72. Why not ever? Probably because we are all equal. The worst is no recommendation on vitamin D. The FDA DOES recommend vit D for the prevention of respiratory disease, but failed to publicize this and told people to stay inside. So what if it doesn't help wit cv, it helps with pneumonia. Were the high risk groups intentionally targeted to not know this?

  79.  @DadSavesAmerica  Deflation is the natural state of the human condition. Inflation is a necessary requirement of using debt as money. You pay off debt with more debt (and more debt to repay that debt (and more debt to repay that debt (and more debt to repay that debt (and more debt ...)))). This is the reason for war and pandemics; they inject a lot of stimulus into the system when the system starts running low on money. The system ran out of money in 2008 and again in 2019-2020 (repocalypse).

  112.  @martino8114  Thanks for the reply. Nobody ever tells me what is wrong with trump. I've listened to almost nothing from him and half the stuff I do know comes from Bloom County when I was a kid. Yes, I do live under a rock, and don't know what's going on in the world (much), but I have relatives that foam at the mouth about him and nobody will tell me why. I'm pretty sure one was hospitalized over this because they disappeared for a few weeks after he was elected and they were convinced that he was going to put all the Jewish people in camps (really:body-blue-raised-arms:). I couldn't find where they got these ideas

  114.  @martino8114  I've actually studied the nazis and communists a lot over the last 10 years. I wasn't interested in any of this before, but kept ending up in the same places.

  117. It's not about making the world a better place, it about making the world a more equal place. Hyper democracy and the gnostic impulse. The average wealth per adult in the world at the end of 2022 was $84,718, a 3.6% decrease from the previous year. This was the first time since the global financial crisis of 2008 that global net household wealth had decreased. 1.2% of adults own 47.8% of the world's wealth, while 53.2% of adults own 1.1%. Expect this trend to continue

  126. @CCrescence I would recommend Science, Politics and Gnosticism by Eric Voegelin_
    2
  127. @CCrescence Eerily accurate from what I can remember. I think it ties in with Nietzsche, but I've never read anything by him. I like his explanation of the relationship between civilization and religion and if you want to change it, you must change the other. It would describe the culture war as a war over civilization. People like Hitler and Marx were interested in civilization building and were ultimately theologians, not economists and dictators. Don't know how much I can say here haahahha🤐 (edit) If you are talking about the Voegelin book...I'm pissed that I did not read this in high school. It opened up a whole new world about how to look at history, ww2, communism, wars,......
    2
  128. I think this changed drastically after 911. I have a friend who was getting an MBA in public policy at the time and very briefly looked at their class notes. And by briefly, I mean about 40 seconds. So this is probably entirely incorrect

  154.  @l.w.paradis2108  Same with me. Inflation is necessarily a requirement for a debt based system. The only way that you can repay a debt is by creating more debt. This is the system that Marx wanted because it forces growth. It's a pyramid scheme and when the debt stops increasing the entire tower falls all at once. More debt is means more money which means that it's less valuable so it requires more of it to trade for your loaf of bread. Pretty simple.

  156. Socialism/Communism definitely has elites That they don't is the Big Lie. Castro was not living in a mud hut with a tin roof eating plantains for every meal. It's just a veiled form of a monarchy. This is why the elites push it. They want to be king without people knowing that they are king.

  157.  @DadSavesAmerica  Please try to interview James Lindsay. I think he will be in Austin and probably understands the religious aspects of all of the -isms the best. As per Voegelin, communism is the gnostic religious belief that the world is evil created by an evil god and that mankind must become one and reunite with the higher god.. Everything makes sense when you can look at it through the different world views

The religion goes back as far as the Egyptians, but I think its roots can be traced back further. Roman Empire grappled with it and was partially responsible for its collapse. Think grecco-roman mystery religions.

Nobody can see the cult they are in, because it is just normalcy to them

They also had the first green new deal.

  182. Understand that it is a religion. The political scientist Eric Voegelin points this out in a few of his works. Exactly the same as the nazis and Italian Fascists. I will also inject that capitalism is not a system, but a description of how people trade when they are free. Communism even started as a religion. Study its origins with the League of the Just and then its founding. The same proto-religion as Scientology (but obviously different), same snake, different skin.

  198. Oswald Spengler in his book, The Decline of the West, says that civilization is downstream of religion. Therefore if you wish to create your own civilization, one that you can control, you must kill civilization and replace its foundational religion first. This has largely been accomplished. I believe this was Nietzsche's lament on his proclamation the 'god is dead.' He was not happy about that.

  208. It has more to do with the destruction of the religion that spawned the civilization. Religion creates a culture which creates civilization. Spengler called civilization the death throes of a culture when it has depleted its energy and starts eating itself, doubting it's own foundations. I forget which philosopher said that Bacon was the beginning of the downfall of the West when he first introduced questioned its foundation.
