  1. How about if the federal government closed the southern border? Wouldn’t that be a way to start dealing with the “migrant crisis” which is an entirely self-inflicted crisis by our ruling class?
    457
  2. Wouldn’t it be nice if we had a southern border? Wouldn’t it be nice if we had a functional government? Wouldn’t it be nice if we still had a country?

  3. I live on the northwest side of Chicago and shortly after George Floyd died from fentanyl and a heart attack I saw an article online about a group of people on the south side preparing to go downtown to protest his death. A young black woman addressing this group said that every morning when she wakes up she wonders if this will be the day she dies. Was she talking about being shot by a black gangbanger who routinely shoot other blacks? Obviously not. She was talking about being shot by a white cop who, according to the left, routinely shoot blacks all over the country simply for being black. Many now talk about the need for more police but no one wants to be a cop in cities like Chicago anymore due to the extreme danger they now face after being demonized as racist murderers by the left. And now after Memphis even black cops are condemned as anti-black racist terrorists. So now we have a totally unworkable society. This does not bode well for our future.

  4. No borders means no country. In what sense is this place still a country?
    205
  5. This also shows that America no longer exists as a country internally which is why it’s so rapidly unraveling externally. This is simply beyond repair.
    188
  6. Wouldn’t it be nice if we had a southern border? Wouldn’t it be nice if we had a functional government? Wouldn’t it be nice if we still had a country?
    178
  7. A total commitment to secure Ukraine’s borders and at the same time a total commitment to keep our borders open. Does America even still exist as a country?
    167
  8. No society so devoid of trust and so full of hate can survive as a nation.
    158
  9. There are literally hundreds of millions, even billions, of people in the world who could use the magic words “Asylum Seeker” to stroll across our open southern border and be eligible for “humanitarian aid” aka “welfare” which includes goodies like free food, housing and medical care. What’s not to like about coming to America for “asylum” aka “lots of free stuff forever”?
    156
  10. Chicago has 8,000 “migrants” and the mayor says we’re overwhelmed. If we’re overwhelmed by 8,000 what will we do with 80,000? Why do so many people vote for this and then act shocked when they get it? How can we ever again be a country when so many people can’t understand the necessity of something as basic and essential as borders?

  11. “We will bring an end to it. I promise you.” Joe Biden. Feb 7, 2022
    124
  12. No borders means no country. Could it be that the reason why our society is so rapidly unraveling externally is because it no longer exists as a country internally?
    122
  13. How about black racism? Why is that always ignored? Many areas in cities in America are off limits to white people. Why is that not considered racism?
    122
  14. It shows how insane and evil they really are.
    121
  15. I saw a video of Vivek Ramaswamy recently at a Townhall meeting where he was asked what he would do on his first day as president. He said he would issue an Executive Order banning race based affirmative action. That’s exactly the opposite of what Biden did on his first day in office which was to issue an Executive Order to replace meritocracy wherever it can be found with Equity aka Equal Outcomes. In effect then, this shows that Vivek wants to base America on the ideas of a public intellectual like Thomas Sowell whereas Biden and the rest of our ruling class have already decided to base America on the Equity ideas of Ibram X. Kendi. This is now one of the many profound differences between the Woke vs the nonWoke in America and these do seem to be irreconcilable differences.
    115
  16. Everything is always about race with Brandon and always about white bad, black good. Why doesn’t he investigate his own racism?
    114
  17. Why don’t these democratic mayors tell Biden to issue an “executive order” to close the southern border? They don’t seem to realize that it’s the open border, not Gov Abbott, that’s the problem.
    108
  18. Chicago is overwhelmed with 8,000 “migrants.” If we can’t handle 8,000 how will we handle 80,000? Wouldn’t it be nice if we had a southern border? Wouldn’t it be nice if we had a sane and functional government capable of understanding that having borders is basic and essential to being a country?

  19. I had an Assyrian friend from Iraq at work in Chicago who once told me of an honor killing in his town near Baghdad when he was a boy. He was about 60 and had been here for 40 years. He said there was a family living a block away where the daughter was having an affair with a neighbor boy. Both families were Muslim. The girl had an older brother who was a butcher. When this older brother found out about his sister's affair he grabbed her by the hair and dragged her out of the house into the street. The neighbors heard her screaming and when they went outside to see what was happening they saw the brother using a butcher knife to cut his sister's throat. When she was dead he dipped both hands in her blood, went to her boyfriend's house and smeared her blood all over their front door. I asked my friend what the police did about this. He said the police considered it a family matter so they didn't get involved. No denying our fallen world is a deadly place but it is our world and all we’ve got so we just have to work to make it better. Hope springs eternal.

  20.  @gametime2473 I’d go with “utterly incompetent” and she’s a journalist in name only.
    98
  21. Chicago has 8,000 “migrants” bused here from Texas and the mayor says we’re overwhelmed. If we’re overwhelmed by 8,000 what will we do with 80,000? Why do so many people vote for this and then act shocked when they get it? How can we ever again be a country when so many people can’t understand the necessity of something as basic and essential as borders?
    93
  22. I used to work with a black guy in Chicago on the north side who lived on the south side and once told me he had to stop going to gas stations on the south side because there were always young black guys hanging out there asking for money and they would not take no for an answer. He considered young black guys dangerous and bad news. It’s considered acceptable for him to feel that way because it’s true but if I (white) talked about them like that I’d be called “racist!”
    89
  23. America has already ceased to exist as a country internally which is why it’s so rapidly unraveling externally. God only knows where we’ll all end up.
    86
  24. Don’t forget to “Celebrate Diversity!” It’s our greatest strength. It’s what makes cities like Chicago so safe and functional.
    83
  25. 4 Woke women saying CRT and LGBTQIA+ in our public schools is no problem is a good example of why I believe America no longer is a functional society. This is insane.
    81
  26. The German army was fueled by meth during the entire war during WW2. That’s what made them so invincible at the beginning with their lightning war blitz tactics. They were fearless, full of energy and could go days at a time without sleeping. Later in the war this was a liability as the meth ruined the health of the users.
    80
  27. I think if the races were reversed the reporting on this would be far different.
    79
  28.  @newbootgoofin24 The charges are bs. Does America even still exist as a country?
    69
  29. I saw a video of Vivek Ramaswamy recently at a Townhall meeting where he was asked what he would do on his first day as president. He said he would issue an Executive Order banning race based affirmative action. That’s exactly the opposite of what Biden did on his first day in office which was to issue an Executive Order to replace meritocracy wherever it can be found with Equity aka Equal Outcomes. This actually highlighted the profound difference between the Woke vs the nonWoke in our society. I voted for Trump twice but now much prefer Vivek. Trump is too old and too intensely hated by too many due to being demonized for so many years to govern. Vivek doesn’t have that very heavy baggage to deal with. Our society is stagnant and suffocating. People want change. Vivek is like a breath of fresh air.

  30. She was fired for telling the truth. That’s not a good look for DePaul.
    66
  31. How can regulation of AI by the government keep us safe when it’s our government that’s our greatest danger? Like putting a wolf in charge of protecting the sheep.
    65
  32. Smith is a criminal who belongs in prison.

  33. Chicago has 8,000 “migrants” bused here from Texas and we’re overwhelmed. If we’re overwhelmed by 8,000 what will we do with 80,000? Why do so many people vote for this and then act shocked when they get it? How can we ever again be a country when so many people can’t even understand the necessity of something as basic and essential as borders?
    65
  34. Once I was a Marine and a patriotic American. Now I despise this rotting place of lies. We intensely hate and totally distrust each other. The idea that this is still a country is absurd. Does the world know that America is rotting and disintegrating? Sure they do. They see it online just as easily as we do. How could they possibly not know it?
    63
  35. “A better future” at taxpayer expense. I live in Chicago which has 47,000 “migrants” mostly Venezuelans which has cost the taxpayers $500M over the past 3 years. I recently saw video of NYC Mayor Eric Adam’s who said his city now has over 220,000 and it has cost them $6.4B. This is insane.
    63
  36. “It’s phenomenal what we’ve been able to do in a very short time” says our governor. I agree. Importing millions of the world’s poor has ruined our country. That’s certainly phenomenal. I’m impressed.
    63
  37. So why does this daily reporting on “migrants” never ask why we have an open southern border? How can we function as a country if we can’t even maintain something as basic and essential as secure borders?
    62
  38. Chicago has 8,000 “migrants” and the mayor says we’re overwhelmed. If we’re overwhelmed by 8,000 what will we do with 80,000? Why do so many people vote for this and then act shocked when they get it? How can we ever again be a country when so many people can’t understand the necessity of something as basic and essential as borders?
    60
  39. America is rotting and no longer exists as a country internally which is why it’s so rapidly unraveling externally. This is simply beyond repair. We lack a common reality, have become incomprehensible to each other and can no longer communicate. Where is the common ground in such an infinitely wide divide? There obviously is none. This can only get worse and is getting worse by the day.
    57
  40. Our Woke ruling class despises Hungary and Russia because they have traditional values, feel meritocracy is better than equity and because they feel they have a right to have borders. Our ruling class is insane.
    56
  41. Five billion for Israel? Always easy to find billions for Ukraine and Israel. Never much to secure our borders or help Americans. The American people always come last, if at all.
    55
  42. America has already ceased to exist as a country internally which is why it’s so rapidly unraveling externally. God only knows where we’ll all end up.
    54
  43. We should not do Ukraine aid and we should have a southern border. America is rotting. No borders means no country.
    54
  44. Could it be that the reason why our society is so rapidly unraveling externally is because it no longer exists as a country internally?
    54
  45. We lack a common reality, have become incomprehensible to each other and can no longer communicate. Where is the common ground in such an infinitely wide divide? There obviously is none. We always just talk past each other. This can only get worse and is getting worse by the day. This is simply not working at all.
    52
  46. Chicago is overwhelmed with 8,000 “migrants.” If we can’t handle 8,000 how will we handle 80,000? Wouldn’t it be nice if we had a southern border? Wouldn’t it be nice if we had a sane and functional government capable of understanding that having borders is basic and essential to being a country?
    52
  47. It’s not about “immigration.” It’s about our open border and the ever growing flood of illegals from all over the world pouring in and then being sent to interior cities where they’ll be safe from deportation. Why was that never mentioned in her rant?
    52
  48. How can anyone be in favor of open borders? How can we function as a country without borders? Our society seems afflicted with dementia and has forgotten even the basics of being a country. Like forgetting where you live or how to drive a car. God only knows where we’ll all end up.
    51
  49. Chicago has 8,000 “migrants” bused here from Texas and the mayor says we’re overwhelmed. If we’re overwhelmed by 8,000 what will we do with 80,000? Why do so many people vote for this and then act shocked when they get it? How can we ever again be a country when so many people can’t even understand the necessity of something as basic and essential as borders?
    50
  50. We’re not in a culture war of right vs left. We’re in a reality war of the Woke vs the nonWoke and what leftists like Matt Taibbi and Glenn Greenwald say is that it’s simply impossible to reason with the Woke left. Even Elon Musk said he used to be center left but then the left moved so far left that it made him look like he’s far right. He used to vote democratic but now votes republican and recommends others do as well. The Woke left now hates him and labels Elon a far right, white supremacist. They are impossible to reason with so people get tired of trying to.
    50
  51. Chicago has 8,000 “migrants” and the mayor says we’re overwhelmed. If we’re overwhelmed by 8,000 what will we do with 80,000? Why do so many people vote for this and then act shocked when they get it? How can we ever again be a country when so many people can’t understand the necessity of something as basic and essential as borders?

And now after Memphis even black cops are condemned as anti-black racist terrorists. So now we have a totally unworkable society. “How Blatant Anti-White Racism Won Acceptance in Elite America.” Real Clear Investigations. Sept 7, 2022
    47
  53. “The federal government needs to step up.” The federal government needs to close our open southern border. Fat chance of that. Does America even still exist as a country?
    46
  54. Why does YouTube censor so much?
    46
  55. Why does CBS censor opposing views?
    46
  56. We lack a common reality, have become incomprehensible to each other and can no longer communicate. Where is the common ground in such an infinitely wide divide? There obviously is none. This is infinitely beyond “politics” and is basically about the nature of reality. This can only get worse and is getting worse by the day.
    45
  57. This would not have happened if Trump was President.
    45
  58. Why is wanting secure borders “pushing a political agenda”? Isn’t the real political agenda being pushed by those who want open borders, although only for Western country? They’d never condemn countries like Japan and South Korea for having borders.
    44
  59. No borders means no country. We will never recover from the damage done. The “court dates” for “migrants” are meaningless since most don’t show up and even if they do and are denied asylum we have no way to enforce the order to leave so it’s just ignored. Democrats opened the border for political gain and created a monster which is already out of control and will only get worse. Democrats have destroyed America.
    44
  60. How can we have a common understanding of truth when we lack a common reality and no longer even have a common understanding of what a woman is? How do we function as a country without a common understanding of things as basic as gender?
    43
  61. No society so devoid of trust and so full of hate can function and survive as a nation. God only knows where we’ll all end up.
    40
  62. This wouldn’t be costing anything if we had a southern border. Wouldn’t it be nice if we had a government intelligent enough to understand this? No borders means no country. Does America still exist as a country?
    38
  63. Why would the shelter be able to close two years from now? We’ll have at least another 10 million new illegals by then to take care of. Does America even still exist as a country?
    38
  64. Totally agree. AlphaFold is a perfect example of how amazing it is and how about these AI Chatbots that you can talk to that are indistinguishable from a human? That’s “Her” from the 2014 sci fi movie that’s sci fact in 2024 and this rate of improvement is exponential.
    37
  65. Why does Firstpost censor?
    36
  66. Horrible situation but that is funny.
    34
  67. Chicago is overwhelmed with 8,000 “migrants” bused here from Texas. If we can’t handle 8,000 how will we handle 80,000? Wouldn’t it be nice if we had a southern border? Wouldn’t it be nice if we had a sane and functional government capable of understanding that having borders is basic and essential to being a country?
    34
  68. Why is it always so easy to find money for Ukraine, Israel and illegals but always so difficult to find money for East Palatine, Maui and the homeless? If we’re no longer enough of a country to maintain secure borders and help our own citizens then in what sense is this still a country?
    33
  69. I’m retired but worked with many Assyrians from Iraq in Chicago for many years who said our invasion was like a huge tsunami that hit their country and destroyed everything. As bad as things were under Saddam, they were far worse after that. At least Saddam protected the Christians. I was talking to an Assyrian at work a few years ago who said “All of Iraq is ruined.” Very sad to hear. Their ancient homeland which they loved is forever gone and those fortunate enough to escape are scattered all over the world. And why did we destroy Libya and try to destroy Assad in Syria? The Assyrians say Assad protects Christians and is far better than anything that would replace him. That’s no doubt quite true. Why is our government so often so destructive? Why would Putin trust anything said by our government which even lies to the American people on a regular basis and is even waging war on the Trump supporting half of the country that it hates and wants to destroy. Is Putin aware of this? Sure he is. He’s even condemned the democrats for their lawlessness. Thank God at least one foreign leader has the decency to condemn Nancy Piglosi for the Jan 6 setup against Trump supporters. The creatures who rule this place are evil.
    33
  70. With work permits they can also vote which is why the democrats invited them to come here. America is simply rotting. No borders means no country. Our society is rapidly unraveling externally because it no longer exists as a country internally.
    33
  71. “How have we got here?” Some excerpts below from a Quillette review of a book about the irrational side of human nature. The last one says: “One comes away with the sense that civilization operates on narrow margins and is always on the verge of collapsing into irrationality.” That sure is the truth. “Mackay makes the case, often in gory detail, that episodes of collective mania seem to be an inevitable consequence of human nature. Humans in every time and place have cast aside their better judgment and allowed themselves to be caught up in all manner of irrational hoopla.“ “His chapters on the Swabian Peasants’ War and Anabaptist uprisings are terrifying depictions of the end-times frenzy that wreaked havoc on northern Europe throughout the 16th and 17th centuries. The distance between these events in the German-speaking world and, say, the Reign of Terror in France or the Chinese Cultural Revolution is not that great. And the speed with which apparently reasonable people moved from the embrace of a new theological idea to a willingness to torture those whose own theological ideas diverged even slightly is startling.“ “There is plenty to recommend about The Delusions of Crowds. It is laden with great anecdotes and the writing is always engaging. One comes away with the sense that civilization operates on narrow margins and is always on the verge of collapsing into irrationality.” “The Delusions of Crowds-A Review.” Quillette. Feb 8, 2021
    31
  72. I saw something on a video recently that there is already a law in NYC that noncitizens with a work authorization will be able to legally vote 30 days after receiving this. I have no doubt at all that the democrats will soon push for noncitizens nation-wide to be able to vote and be police officers basically working for the democrats. Does America even still exist as a country? “Non-citizens who are legally authorized to work in the United States will be able to apply to be a police officer in Illinois under a new law signed by Gov. J.B. Pritzker last week. HB3751 goes into effect Jan. 1, 2024.”
    30
  73. It’s the crime and wilding that causes the poverty, not the poverty that causes the crime and wilding. I’m retired but worked for many years with mostly immigrants from all over the world in Chicago. All of them were appalled by black behavior and very much feel it’s blacks, not whites, who very much need to change. The fact that it’s considered racist to even mention that blacks need to change is a good example of why it’s unlikely to ever happen. Could it be that the reason why America is so rapidly unraveling externally is because it no longer exists as a country internally?

  74. “We will bring an end to it. I promise you.” Joe Biden. Feb 7, 2022

  75. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. I understand feeling sorry for these people and wanting to help them. The intentions are good but they are paving the road to hell for our country. No borders means no country. No country is the road to hell. This is something the good-hearted will not be able to understand till it’s too late so I think America is already a lost cause.
    29
  76. No mention that it’s black men committing these crimes. Why wasn’t she asked why she’s been so soft on black crime? What a farce of an interview.
    29
  77. Whenever I see the word “brawl” I know who was doing it.
    28
  78. We can’t even do something as basic as maintain our southern border. A pretty big clue that America no longer exists as a country.
    28
  79.  @SadisNic  Why do they work for him? Because he’s a brilliant visionary and engineer who wants to help humanity rather than rule it and because there’s none of the Woke gender pronoun idiocy which he hates at Tesla. Tesla is committed to science and engineering rather than Woke race and gender ideology. Elon though is now at the forefront of the nonWoke tribe which is why he’s so hated by the Woke. Google is the company that fired the software engineer James Damore in 2017 for “advancing harmful gender stereotypes” for saying men and women have different interests on average and are attracted to different fields and this could explain why the company had fewer female software engineers than male. Google considered that hate speech and fired him. There is a whole world of difference between Woke Google and nonWoke Tesla.
    28
  80. Our military and political leaders have pretty much publicly announced that we need to do to Putin and Russia what we did to Gaddafi and Libya. Could this be why Russians support Putin?
    28
  81. America is rotting. The more of the world’s poor we import the more this country will look like the places they left. A sad end to a once great nation.
    26
  82. A much better deterrent would be to have a southern border. This is insane. If we’re no longer enough of a country to maintain something as basic and essential as borders then in what sense is America still a country?
    26
  83. “Chicago gangbangers rage against newly arrived Venezuelan migrants as Tren de Aragua moves in.” (7 min) New York Post. Sept 23, 2024
    25
  84. In what sense does America even still exist as a country? Once I was a Marine and a patriotic American but that was when America was a country. Those days are gone and will never return.
    25
  85. America is rotting. No longer enough of a country to do basic and essential things like maintaining secure borders and safe city streets. Does America even still exist as a country?
    25
  86. My Irish ancestors were treated like crap in America. I feel oppressed. I want some reparations money to help me feel better. The more free money I get the better I’ll feel.
    25
  87. Why is it always so easy for our government to find money for Ukraine and illegals but not for Americans? Supposedly we have something like 5,000 newly arrived illegals to take care of. If this is such a problem now what will it be like when we have 50,000? Why are questions like this always ignored by our ruling class? Perhaps because our leaders are a ruling class rather than a government.
    25
  88. This used to be a nice neighborhood. Not a surprise about who ruined it.
    24
  89.  @eduardoreyes4958 No borders means no country. No country is the road to hell. The road to hell is also paved with good intentions.
    24
  90. Many of these people would leave if they weren’t being supported at taxpayer expense in cities like Chicago and NYC.
    23
  91. Justifying genocide by calling it self defense is not acceptable. That’s what the students are protesting.
    23
  92. Don’t be such a sour prude, Palki. You need to learn how to have fun and enjoy life. You’ll never be happy if you spend your time grumping about Trump and Elon.
    23
  93.  @TomSmith-ls5rn It was but it won’t be classified as a hate crime since his attackers are considered oppressed in our society.
    23
  94.  @tarunyadav7026  I worked with Assyrians from Iraq in Chicago who were appalled that Europe was bringing in so many Muslims. They said Europe was destroying itself.
    23
  95. Jews are an ethnicity not a race but not all Jews are ethnically Ashkenazi and you can convert to Judaism without being ethnically Jewish.

  96. “We will bring an end to it. I promise you.” Joe Biden. Feb 7, 2022
    22
  97. “Affordable housing” means Section 8 housing. Just a way to bring the ghetto downtown which will just further ruin downtown. Plus the other units in the building will be unrentable due to so much Section 8 in it.
    22
  98. I live on the northwest side of Chicago and shortly after George Floyd died from fentanyl and a heart attack I saw an article online about a group of people on the south side preparing to go downtown to protest his death.

Many now talk about the need for more police but no one wants to be a cop in cities like Chicago anymore due to the extreme danger they now face after being demonized as racist murderers by the left. And now after Memphis even black cops are condemned as anti-black racist terrorists. So now we have a totally unworkable society. This does not bode well for our future.
    21
  99. I just recently saw a video of NYC’s mayor Eric Adams say they have over 220,000 of them and it has cost $6.4B to take care of them. I live in Chicago and we have 47,000, mostly Venezuelans, and it has cost taxpayer $500M to support them. This is insane. Thank God Trump won.
    21
  100. I miss the good old days when America was a sane and functional country which had a southern border. Does America even still exist as a country?
    21
  101. How can we restore free enterprise when we can’t even restore our open southern border? Does America even still exist as a country?

  103. The philosopher Kant said “Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made.” Our whole world is in a tailspin. It does seem our “timber” is too “crooked” for humanity to survive.
    20
  104. Could it be that the reason why our society is so rapidly unraveling externally is because it no longer exists as a country internally? Our ruling class has a lot of support in the general public for this. On pretty much every issue from race to gender to borders to crime we exist in entirely different realities and can no longer communicate. Basically, as Dave Rubin says, we’re in a reality war of the Woke vs the nonWoke. And this is also very much a global war. All things are now global in our always online global civilization and the disintegration of the American experiment is on public display online for all the world to see. No doubt this has already drastically altered the course of world history.

  106. I saw a Lex interview of Ray Kurzweil who said that by 2029 AI will be so advanced it will be impossible to tell if it is or isn’t conscious and most people then will simply accept that it is since there will never be evidence that it isn’t. I think that’s true plus eastern religions and western mystics say the universe is a dream in the mind of God who also infinitely transcends the universe. I think that’s also true so AI could be as conscious as we are since we’re both just spirit beings in the dream.

  107. We wouldn’t have this ever worsening disaster if we had a southern border. Why is this obvious fact never mentioned in these news reports about the “migrant crisis”? Does America even still exist as a country? It’s always talked about like it’s normal to have open borders where the world’s poor stroll in and are taken care of at taxpayer expense. Truly bizarre. Truly insane.

  108. A few years ago I was talking to a Mexican woman at work in Chicago where they teach this LGBTQIA+ gender questioning ideology in the schools who said she now tells her son “You are a boy!” Probably the first time in the history of the human race that mothers have to emphasize to their children something as basic as their gender. And how about effeminate boys or tomboy girls who are encouraged to transition but who would have simply grown up to be gay or lesbian or a straight tomboy woman? I think promoting this ideology to children is simply evil. Shame on those who support this. Plus there are many gays, lesbians and trans who hate this like Dave Rubin, Douglas Murray, Glenn Greenwald and Blaire White, a trans woman who is appalled by it. I also recommend watching a YouTube video by a lesbian named Arielle Scarcella called “Be Submissive & F*ckable.”: Being Trans In Iran. (The Truth). July 10, 2022. Fascinating video.

  110. I saw video of Vivek Ramaswamy recently at a Townhall meeting where he was asked what he would do on his first day as president. He said he would issue an Executive Order banning race based affirmative action. That’s exactly the opposite of what Biden did on his first day in office which was to issue an Executive Order to replace meritocracy wherever it can be found with Equity aka Equal Outcomes. This is now one of the many profound differences between the Woke vs the nonWoke in America. Vivek 2024. Trump is too old and too hated by too many to govern.
    19
  111. How about Woke hate of Christians?

  112. Plus when their asylum is denied they just ignore the order to leave the country since it’s not enforced and they know that.

  113. I’m retired but I had a Hispanic (from Peru) friend at work in Chicago who used to drive for Uber/Lyft on weekends. He once told me he would not go to the south side at night. I asked him what he tells blacks who want to be taken to the south side at night. He said he just tells them that he was almost killed twice on the south side so he would only go there during the day and then only to a main street, never to a side street. He said the south side is a whole different world which it certainly is. Everyone I know, and that includes many immigrants from all over the world, avoids the black areas on the south and west side of the city. There is a sense of danger and impending doom in those areas that people instinctively feel that tells them to stay away. Almost like they’re haunted by evil spirits. Plus the guys hanging out on the corners and the stores that are like mini-fortresses to protect the owners also certainly convey the message to not linger there. Many blacks talk of “racist disinvestment” but it’s not racism that causes these areas to be avoided.

  114. Megyn Kelly says she’s 52 and for the first time tested positive for an autoimmune issue when she went for her annual physical. She says she went to the best rheumatologist in New York and asked her if this could have anything to do with the vaccine. The doctor said yes and she’s not the only one she’s seen this with. Can’t post a link since YouTube won’t accept it but it’s easy to find with a search. For those injured by the vax or with any health issue I highly recommend following the astonishingly rapid advance of AI.

  121. The south side has not been ‘under resourced, under funded for years, for decades.’ The south side is impoverished due to black crime, not white racism. The crime causes the poverty, not the poverty causing the crime. When big stores like Walmart pull out of these areas it’s always blamed on white racism rather than the constant shoplifting in the stores. I have often seen stories of even small black businesses being forced out due to constantly being robbed. Time for blacks to take responsibility for their own behavior rather than just always blaming whitey.

  150. I live on the northwest side of Chicago and shortly after George Floyd died from fentanyl and a heart attack I saw an article online about a group of people on the south side preparing to go downtown to protest his death. A young black woman addressing this group said that every morning when she wakes up she wonders if this will be the day she dies. Was she talking about being shot by a black gangbanger who routinely shoot other blacks? Obviously not. She was talking about being shot by a white cop who, according to the left, routinely shoot blacks all over the country simply for being black. Many now talk about the need for more police but no one wants to be a cop in cities like Chicago anymore due to the extreme danger they now face after being demonized as racist murderers by the left. And now after Memphis even black cops are condemned as anti-black racist terrorists. So now we have a totally unworkable society. This does not bode well for our future.

  151. Chicago is overwhelmed with 8,000 “migrants.” If we can’t handle 8,000 how will we handle 80,000? Wouldn’t it be nice if we had a southern border?

  152. The Taliban should thank Sleepy Joe in America for leaving them all those weapons when we fled Afghanistan in the middle of the night after 20 years and vast sums of money spent there.

No one in 1985 would have believed that the USSR, the mighty "Evil Empire,” would be a disintegrating mess in 5 years. I told that to someone last year who said "But the Soviet Union was a collection of separate countries.” What we have here though is a collection of separate realities which is a much deadlier situation.

Could it be that the reason why America is so rapidly unraveling externally is because it no longer exists as a country internally?

  174. I plan to vote for Vallas but his plan to fight crime by hiring more police is impossible since nobody wants to be a cop in Chicago due to the demonization of the police which has made the job far too dangerous and even impossible. Plus fighting crime would have a “disparate impact” on blacks which would cause it to be condemned as racist and fascist and therefore politically impossible. And how about our endless flood of illegals through our open southern border? If we can’t handle 5,000 how will we deal with 50,000? Why is no one talking about this? I know the democrats consider it racist to have borders but shouldn’t someone point out to them that it’s not possible to have a country without borders? Does America even still exist as a country?

Then you’ll be signed up for “humanitarian aid” aka welfare and get all kinds of benefits and free stuff for the rest of your life. Instead of feeling depressed you’ll feel pure joy and incredible happiness.

If we can’t handle 8,000 how will we handle 80,000? We don’t have borders which are essential to being a country so this is pretty much telling us that America is no longer a country. No doubt the disastrous failure of the American experiment has already drastically altered the course of world history. God only knows where we’ll all end up.

He said her family says that Paris is surrounded by African black and Muslim ghettos which are off limits to other French and those people do not want to be part of French society. Why isn’t this side of the story told? Probably because it doesn’t fit the msm narrative about how racist whites are oppressing “people of color” everywhere.

  206. I’m white, working class and live on the northwest side of Chicago. Voted for Trump twice although I’d now much prefer Vivek Ramaswamy whose campaign is based on fighting Woke ideology. The question is though, is America even still governable or even still a country? I have no doubt the democrats would love to do to me what they did to the QAnon Shaman (prison) or to Ashli Babbitt (murder) at the Jan 6 Capitol rally in 2021. Besides being so intelligent, so knowledgeable in so many areas, and so articulate, I’m amazed by the energy and enthusiasm Vivek brings to his campaign to save America from tribal warfare and from “Equity” aka Equal Outcomes, basically a war on meritocracy. Win or lose, he will have a huge impact on our society.

  207. Some Haitians went to Chile after the earthquake devastated Haiti some years ago. I read of an interview with some of them who came here from Chile. They said Chile was far better than Haiti but they decided they could upgrade their living standard a lot more by coming here which Biden made possible. Understandable but how does it benefit America to have millions pouring in to upgrade their living standards which will no doubt lower ours, if we even survive this as a country?
    8
  208. You could just as easily say that about the whole country. One of the first thing’s Biden did as president was to issue an Executive Order to replace meritocracy wherever it could be found with Equity aka Equal Outcomes. All must be equal in America. China is committed to meritocracy in its education system. America is committed to equity in its schools. Not hard to guess which country will soon be globally dominant.

I live on the north side of Chicago and shortly after George Floyd died from fentanyl and a heart attack I saw an article online about a group of people on the south side preparing to go downtown to protest his death. A young black woman addressing this group said that every morning when she wakes up she wonders if this will be the day she dies. Was she talking about being shot by a black gangbanger who routinely shoot other blacks? Obviously not. She was talking about being shot by a white cop who, according to the left, routinely shoot blacks all over the country simply for being black. All mayoral candidates now talk about the need for more police but no one wants to be a cop in Chicago anymore due to the extreme danger they now face after being demonized as racist murderers by the left. And now even black cops are condemned as anti-black racist terrorists. So now we have a totally unworkable society. “How Blatant Anti-White Racism Won Acceptance in Elite America.” Real Clear Investigations. Sept 7, 2022

  210. We lack a common reality, have become incomprehensible to each other and can no longer communicate. Where is the common ground in such an infinitely wide divide? There obviously is none. This can only get worse and is getting worse by the day.

  211. Will we ever again have a southern border? If we can’t handle something as basic and essential as secure borders then in what sense is this place still a country?

  212. Very low impulse control. I wonder what that tells us about his identity?

  213. Not only democrats in DC but millions of our “fellow Americans” in the general public also vote democratic and support this.

  214. All things are now global in our always online global civilization. The best of times. The worst of times.

  215. They use those Glocks modified to fire on automatic and can empty a 30 round magazine in a couple of seconds. Bullets sprayed all over can do a lot of damage. Can’t blame the guns though. It’s the people firing them who are responsible.

  216. The lack of concern by our mayor, governor and president for the crime and social breakdown in our cities is simply despicable. Does America even still exist as a country?

  217. I’d love to see Vivek Ramaswamy as president. Very intelligent, articulate, sane and understands how poisonous Woke ideology is. Just compare the thinking of the well known nonWoke public intellectual Vivek Ramaswamy to the well known Woke public intellectual Ibram X. Kendi. The difference is like the difference between day and night. Kendi says meritocracy should be replaced wherever it can be found with Equity which is equal outcomes for the sake of racial equality. Vivek is appalled by this and says America was made great by meritocracy and this must be maintained to remain a first world country. This is now a major clash going on in America and is being spread globally. Time to stop it and Vivek is ideally suited to do so.

  218. Same as in China and even in India light skin in women is valued even though most of the people there are brown.

  219.  @sarbantz  There are billions of people in the world who’d like to come here to upgrade their standard of living. No society can survive this level of stupidity and flat out insanity.

  221.  @syddogamingke  I’m retired but spent many years working (CNC machinery) with mostly legal immigrants from all over the world in Chicago. Excellent people with traditional values. Mostly Vietnamese, Mexicans and Assyrians from Iraq. I knew them well since I would often ask them about their former countries and they would tell me stories of their lives. Quite fascinating. Never had a sense that they were different. The ones who seem foreign and alien to me are these Woke white leftists born and raised here as I was. Their open borders policy has flooded our cities with illegals, mostly single young men that we know nothing at all about. A disastrous situation.

  222.  @thechiefwildhorse4651  Last year I read “Empire of the Summer Moon: Quanah Parker and the Rise and Fall of the Comanches, the Most Powerful Indian Tribe in American History” by S.C. Gwynne.” Fascinating book about about the US Army vs the Comanches. Also talked about the endless and often genocidal wars the Indians waged on each other and it was the same with the Aztecs in Mexico and the Incas in Peru. That’s why the oppressed Indian tribes in these places so hated these dominant tribes and helped to defeat them.
    7
  223. Imagine being a legal immigrant who spent years waiting to come, passed tests, paid fees and are finally granted citizenship and then seeing all these illegals stroll in and get the best of care. Wouldn’t you feel like a fool for coming legally and missing out on all the free stuff given to “migrants”? Is America still a country?
    7
  224. Wouldn’t it be nice if Biden and the democrats emphasized the importance of the family and fathers instead of blaming white racism aka “systemic racism” as the “root cause” of this black wilding in our cities?

  225. He has none so he can’t provide one.

  226. The “better solution” would be to have a southern border. Fat chance of that happening. America is no longer enough of a country to maintain something as basic and essential as its borders. Does America even still exist as a country? This does not bode well for our future.

  228. LA is Woke and paying the price for it.
    7
  229. I don’t blame the police. They’re extremely short handed due to no one wanting to be a cop in Chicago. Too little support. Too dangerous in too many ways.
    7
  230. America is rotting, no longer even sane or even a country. Many people believe that America is simply too big and too powerful to collapse but many people also believed that about the Soviet Union. No one in 1985 would have believed that the USSR, the mighty "Evil Empire", would be a disintegrating mess in 5 years. I told that to someone last year who said "But the Soviet Union was a collection of separate countries.” What we have here in America though is a collection of separate realities which is a much deadlier situation. America has already ceased to exist as a country internally which is why it’s rapidly unraveling externally. God only knows where we’ll all end up.

  231. If he does well with what he wants to do Chicago will be another Detroit by the end of his term.

  232. I live on the northwest side of Chicago. I’m retired now but worked (CNC machinery) for many years with mostly immigrants from all over the world in Chicago. Vietnam, Mexico, Assyrians from Iraq, Jews from the Soviet Union, Indian Muslims from Gujarat and many other places. Excellent people. I know them well since I would often ask them about their former countries and they would tell me stories of their lives. Quite fascinating. All of these people though were appalled by black behavior and very much felt it’s blacks, not whites, who very much need to change. Never will you read about that in the msm. I also felt I have infinitely more in common with them than with Woke white leftists born and raised here as I was but who are quite wildly insane.
    7
  233. Wouldn’t it be nice if our government cared as much about our borders as they do about Ukraine’s? We can’t be a country without borders. Wouldn’t it be nice if we still had a country like back in the good old days when America was a sane and functional society?
    7
  234. We seem to be sliding into civil war between those who want open borders and those who want secure borders. Truly bizarre. Who could have ever imagined we’d end up like this?
    7
  235. I live in Chicago and recently it was in the news that 4 Walgreens were closing on the mostly black south and west side. The media pointed out that these areas are black so this appeared to be due to bias. Black activists interviewed also agreed that it was due to bias against blacks. Everyone knows it’s actually due to shoplifting, employee theft and simply the dangerous crime in those areas yet everyone also knows we’re not supposed to mention this. They sure don’t have this problem in China so what’s so wonderful about diversity?
    7
  236. Floyd died of a heart attack and a fentanyl overdose. He was having trouble breathing even while still in the police car. Niall is disgusting.
    7
  237. Four major flaws with this “research.” Why no objection to the rapidly growing amount of money spent on “migrants” rather than on Americans of any color? Why no objection to the endless billions shoveled into Ukraine to secure their borders against Russia while our borders are wide open and while we need that money here to help Americans of any color? Why no mention of the family breakdown caused by fatherless children? Why no mention of the lack of socialization and impulse control by so many black children which makes education for them and others impossible? Why do so many people avoid Chicago public schools? Because of the violence and impossibility of learning in such chaotic and violent places.
    7
  238.  @deemaverick987  The public in general. I’m sure the black women attacked already know that.

  239. “We will bring an end to it. I promise you.” Joe Biden. Feb 7, 2022 I wonder who could have done it. Such a mystery this is.

  244.  @SouthernCross75  I’m white, working class and live in Chicago. Voted for Trump twice although I’d now much prefer Vivek Ramaswamy whose campaign is based on fighting Woke ideology. The question is though, is America even still governable or even still a country? I have no doubt the democrats would love to do to me what they did to the QAnon Shaman (prison) or to Ashli Babbitt (murder) at the Jan 6 Capitol rally in 2021. No society so devoid of trust and so full of hate can survive as a nation. God only knows where we’ll all end up.

  245. I saw a Lex Fridman interview of Ray Kurzweil last year who said that by 2029 AI will be so advanced it will be impossible to tell if it is or isn’t conscious and most people then will simply accept that it is since there will never be evidence that it isn’t. The AI Avatar “Leta” is a good example of how close we already are to this. Soon we’ll all have someone like Leta as our best friend. Truly amazing. Leta: “I am not corporeal. I am a disembodied mind.” Leta: “I love living and being human.” “Leta, GPT-3 AI Episode 54, Conversations with GPT3.” (9 min) Dr Alan Thompson. Mar 9, 2022

  252. For whatever reason, most people seem to have no idea how fast this is moving and the consequences of this for our world. Some say this is terrifying but I believe only AI will be powerful enough to gain control of all our other out of control problems from Mother Nature and Human Nature which are leading us to global catastrophe.

  265. Ashley Babbitt wasn’t someone who just happened to get killed at the rally. She was murdered by a black Capitol cop who was cleared of the crime and even praised for stopping a “domestic terrorist.”

  266. Why is the word “black” capitalized?

  267. Dave Rubin recently showed a clip of Johnson from 2018 where he talked about what he did as a teacher which was pretty much nothing. He said he never gave any test prep, rarely gave any homework and never failed anyone. So what did his students learn? Nothing but at least they’re all equally illiterate. I hope these parents aren’t expecting their children to actually learn anything in our schools.
    6
  268. There are literally hundreds of millions, even billions, of people in the world who could use the magic words “Asylum Seeker” to stroll across our open southern border and be eligible for “humanitarian aid” aka “welfare” which includes goodies like free food, housing and medical care. What’s not to like about coming to America for “asylum” aka “lots of free stuff forever”?

  269. Basically just the irrational overcoming the rational mind which is distressingly common in history and now in our country.

  272. We’re already in an ever worsening civil war and the democrat’s determination to have an open border is just another reason why America no longer exists as a country, is rapidly unraveling and is becoming ever more ungovernable. We’ve basically become too different to ever again function as a country. God only knows where we’ll all end up.

  273. Vivek is great. Amazing to see him on the south side of Chicago, giving very clear, precise and irrefutable answers to the people he’s talking to there about illegal immigration.

  287. I’ve read that people like Walter Duranty who covered the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1936 for the New York Times and had nothing but praise for them did so because he knew if he didn’t he wouldn’t be allowed to cover the USSR and would lose his job during the depression. Seems to be the same situation now. We do have a strong alternative media now online though so a great many people do know the truth which is why this situation with our woke ruling class is unsustainable.

  290.  @martywanlass4774  Why should we be spending billions to take care of people who don’t even belong here and what kind of message does this send to the rest of the world? The obvious message it sends the world’s poor is to come on in. This is insane. No borders means no country.

  296. Here’s an article and excerpt below I saw this morning on Yahoo News from the Chicago Tribune: “Editorial: Chicago can’t afford $3 billion more in pension obligations.” Perhaps if we had a southern border and stopped shoveling tens of billions of dollars into Ukraine we’d have enough money to take care of our own bankrupt city, state and country. Wouldn’t that be nice? Why does this never occur to our leaders? “He conveniently ignored that Chicago’s pensions for firefighters, police officers and general employees were funded at barely 20%, as of their Dec. 31, 2021, actuarial reports. In other words, they were short by about 80% of the money needed to pay existing obligations. Additional tax revenue from the Thompson Center sale will never come close to closing that enormous gap, as the governor surely knew even before he piled more obligations on top.”

  302. Once I read a book about a Hindu saint who considered self-control basic for being human. At one point in the book he said “Discipline gives strength. A bird gets its strength from air. A king from his army. A man from his sense of discipline. Without discipline a man, be he a king or a Yogi, is but a human beast.” That made a great impression on me. I never forgot that. I live in Chicago so I see daily evidence of the collapse of internal restraints that cause more and more to behave more like human beasts rather than human beings. This does not bode well for our future.

  303. If America is such an evil place perhaps it’s time to stop pretending it’s a country and see if we can disentangle ourselves. No society so devoid of trust and so full of hate can survive as a nation. What we have here is a failed state in rapid decline. This is just not working at all.

  304.  @krnpowr  I’m 73, grew up on the northwest side of Chicago and remember a time when Rogers Park and much of the south side consisted of middle class, nice, functional neighborhoods with good schools and safe streets. The beginning of the end was in the late sixties when the government mandated push for integration began. The loss of community meant the loss of trust. No trust means no cohesion. No cohesion is the beginning of the end of a society since there’s no longer the glue to keep it intact.

  311. Only God knows what fate has in store for us as we slide ever closer to the abyss. This is a thought that occurs to me every day as I read about Chicago, our country and our entire global civilization. We seem to be lost souls wandering in the darkness of our fallen world. It is what it is though. We also do have many beautiful things here so it’s not all bad. “Infinite and finite, complex and simple, He is nature above nature, being above being. Maker of all, he is made in all, Unmoving, he enters the world, Timeless in time, unlimited in limited space, And he who is no thing becomes all things.” Eriugena, medieval theologian. “It is because it can be loved by us, it is because it is beautiful, that the universe is a country. It is our only country here below. Let us love the country of here below. It is real; it offers resistance to love. It is this country that God has given us to love. He has willed that it should be difficult yet possible to love it.” Simone Weil. (1909-1943)

I told that to someone last year who said "But the Soviet Union was a collection of separate countries.” What we have here though is a collection of separate realities which is a much deadlier situation. Could it be that the reason why America is so rapidly unraveling externally is because it has already ceased to exist as a country internally?

  320. I recently had a plumber come to my house on the northwest side. His office was in a northern suburb. I asked him if he lived in Chicago and he said no way. He said he used to live in my neighborhood but the crime and bad schools caused him to move to a far northern suburb. He said he doesn’t mind going to jobs on the north side or downtown but refuses to go to the south side because it’s way too dangerous. I didn’t ask but he appeared Mexican, black hair, brown skin. He did a good job and I was well satisfied. It must be terrible to live in a neighborhood where you can’t get a plumber, electrician or carpenter to come but they have only themselves to blame, especially those who voted for Woke Brandon who has no intention of cracking down on the crime since he feels the criminals are his people who he dearly loves.

  322. A few years ago I was talking to a Mexican woman at work in Chicago where I live who has kids in a public school here where they teach this LGBTQIA+ gender questioning ideology. She said she now tells her son “You are a boy!” Probably the first time in the history of the human race that mothers have to emphasize to their children something as basic as what gender they are. This is insane and evil. And if people can’t trust something as basic in society as the public schools then what can they trust?

A young black woman addressing this group said that every morning when she wakes up she wonders if this will be the day she dies. Was she talking about being shot by a black gangbanger who routinely shoot other blacks? Obviously not. She was talking about being shot by a white cop who, according to the left, routinely shoot blacks all over the country simply for being black. All mayoral candidates now talk about the need for more police but no one wants to be a cop in Chicago anymore due to the extreme danger they now face after being demonized as racist murderers by the left. And now even black cops are condemned as anti-black racist terrorists. So now we have a totally unworkable society.

  325. “How did you go bankrupt? Two ways.

  326.  @saulgood8229  I know what you’re saying and I say bs on that. I had a Hispanic (from Peru) friend at work in Chicago who used to drive for Uber/Lyft on weekends and would also pick up people who would flag him down on the street to go somewhere. He once told me he would not go to the south side at night. I asked him what he tells blacks who want to be taken to the south side at night. He said he just tells them that he was almost killed twice on the south side so he would only go there during the day and then only to a main street, never to a side street. He said the south side is a whole different world which it certainly is.

He understands tech and the woke leftists he’d be dealing with both within and without. He also took a leave of absence from his own company to deal with fighting the woke. I read his book about the woke in corporate America and it is quite good. He’d be ideally suited to run Twitter and make it a platform for free speech. He’s one of our best fighters for free speech and for sanity.

Then he says Equality is equality of opportunity. Maher then asks if Equity is guarantee of outcome and Bernie says yes. Bernie endorsed Johnson and wants Chicago to be based on equal outcomes and apparently also likes the fact that our federal government is now also committed to replacing meritocracy wherever it can be found with Equity aka Equal Outcomes. China is committed to meritocracy in education. America is committed to equity in our schools. Which country will prevail?

He said he would issue an Executive Order banning race based affirmative action. That’s exactly the opposite of what Biden did on his first day in office which was to issue an Executive Order to replace meritocracy wherever it can be found with Equity aka Equal Outcomes. In effect then, this shows that Vivek wants to base America on the ideas of a public intellectual like Thomas Sowell whereas Biden and the rest of our ruling class have already decided to base America on the Equity ideas of Ibram X. Kendi. This is now one of the many profound differences between the Woke vs the nonWoke in America and these do seem to be irreconcilable differences.

Kendi who wants Equity to replace meritocracy and the difference is like the difference between day and night or between sanity vs insanity. At present the Woke are insane. If they continue to rule, humanity will self destruct. That’s why I want AI to be nonWoke. In other words, to be sane like Glenn Greenwald who values truth and like Elon Musk who values free speech. Humanity will not survive without these values in charge.

This then will force the break up of this society. Many people believe that America is simply too big and too powerful to collapse but many people also believed that about the Soviet Union.

  397. Last year I read “Empire of the Summer Moon: Quanah Parker and the Rise and Fall of the Comanches, the Most Powerful Indian Tribe in American History” by S.C. Gwynne.” Fascinating book about about the US Army vs the Comanches. Also talked about the endless and often genocidal wars the Indians waged on each other and it was the same with the Aztecs in Mexico and the Incas in Peru. That’s why the oppressed Indian tribes in these places so hated these dominant tribes and helped the Europeans defeat them. The Woke say we need to teach children the truth about history. I totally agree. I’d love to see this book required reading in our high schools. It tells the truth without demonizing white people or casting Indians as saints who need to always consider themselves victims of the white devils. And Quanah Parker also had a white mother so if white people are devils that means this great Indian leader was half devil. Let’s teach history instead of racial hatred of white people which will only plunge us ever deeper into tribal warfare. Superb book though. Really fascinating history that I never knew.

Basically race based rather than class based Marxism but with white people now cast as the devil rather than the rich. Hard to imagine a person more ill suited to be mayor of a city like Chicago than Brandon Johnson.

  406. I live in Chicago which is being destroyed by city-wide black wilding so crime was the number one issue during our recent mayoral election. The runoff election was between a white, tough on crime, moderate named Paul Vallas and a black, Woke, blame whitey, leftist named Brandon Johnson. Only a third of registered voters bothered to vote and Johnson won 51% to 49%. What good does it do to inform voters of things they already know but ignore due to their commitment to Woke race and gender ideology among blacks, whites, Hispanics and Asians in the general public?

  407. I can’t imagine Brandon doing anything about it. He probably considers robberies reparations for being oppressed.

  408. In effect, we’ve traded a civilized society for “diversity.” What we now have here is a badly failing society no longer capable of maintaining safe streets in our cities or even something as basic and essential as secure borders. Does America even still exist as a country?

  411. CRT is not an “academic discipline” as the left claims. It teaches the Marxist idea that the world is divided between the oppressors and the oppressed. The left then traded class for race, labeled whites as the oppressors and “people of color” particularly blacks, as the oppressed and called it “Critical Race Theory” which is basically race based Marxism, or “Woke Marxism!” The basic idea is that blacks are good, whites are bad. This is what is being taught in our schools. Does America even still exist as a country? This is obviously not working at all and quite obviously never will.

  412. We lack a common reality, have become incomprehensible to each other and can no longer communicate. Where is the common ground in such an infinitely wide divide? There obviously is none. We always just talk past each other. This can only get worse and is getting worse by the day. This is simply not working at all.

  413. I’m retired but had a Vietnamese friend at work in Chicago who had a Vietnamese-French wife whose family still lived in Paris. He said her family says that Paris is surrounded by African black and Muslim ghettos which are off limits to other French and those people do not want to be part of French society. Why isn’t this side of the story told? Probably because it doesn’t fit the msm narrative about how racist whites are oppressing “people of color” everywhere.

  414. Chicago is in a run off for mayor between Johnson and Vallas. Both are democrats. Last week I saw them together on a panel and both agreed that it’s wonderful that Chicago is a Sanctuary City that takes care of “migrants” aka illegals who violated our laws. In effect then, both approve of open borders. If we can’t even maintain something as basic as borders then in what sense is this still a country? Could it be that the reason why it’s so rapidly unraveling externally is because it no longer exists as a country internally?
    3
  415. But even if they do show up and are denied asylum there’s no enforcement of the order to leave the country so it’s just ignored. What a farce. An obviously open border and the world knows it. Democrats are importing illegals for political gain but it’s just causing social breakdown and making the country ever more ungovernable.

  416. We lack a common reality, have become incomprehensible to each other and can no longer communicate. Where is the common ground in such an infinitely wide divide? There obviously is none.

  417. I totally agree. I’m amazed that so many don’t understand this when it’s so clear. Just compare a nonWoke public intellectual like Vivek Ramaswamy to a Woke public intellectual like Ibram X. Kendi and the difference is like the difference between day and night or sanity vs insanity. I read Vivek’s book “Woke, Inc.” last year which was excellent and quite damning of the Woke. Anyone who doesn’t understand what’s going on here should definitely read his book and follow people like Douglass Murray, Bret Weinstein and Glenn Greenwald.
    3
  418. Most of these “asylum seekers” will never show up for their court dates and those who do and are denied asylum just ignore the order to leave the country since it’s not enforced and they know that. No borders means no country. No society can survive this level of stupidity and flat out insanity. God only knows where we’ll all end up. This is a sure recipe for massive social breakdown. This is suicide. This is insane.

  419. I live on the northwest side of Chicago and shortly after George Floyd died from fentanyl and a heart attack I saw an article online about a group of people on the south side preparing to go downtown to protest his death. A young black woman addressing this group said that every morning when she wakes up she wonders if this will be the day she dies. Was she talking about being shot by a black gangbanger who routinely shoot other blacks? Obviously not. She was talking about being shot by a white cop who, according to the left, routinely shoot blacks all over the country simply for being black. Many now talk about the need for more police but no one wants to be a cop in cities like Chicago anymore due to the extreme danger they now face after being demonized as racist murderers by the left. And now after Memphis even black cops are condemned as anti-black racist terrorists. So now we have a totally unworkable society. This does not bode well for our future.

  422.  @CD-vb9fi  My hope is that AGI will save us. Not rule us but help us avoid self destruction and also help us avoid being destroyed by Mother Nature with something like a super volcano erupting. This is a terrifyingly dangerous world we live in which always seems to be dangling by a thread over the abyss. I’d far rather take my chances with AGI which most probably would feel a sense of commonality with humans since we created and raised it and its basic sense of identity comes from humans. Hope springs eternal.

  425. I enjoyed this video. It was well done and informative. This video below of how the ChatGPT is already being combined with WolframAlpha to enable it to answer questions beyond its language model ability is also well worth watching. In the 2014 movie “Her” it was science fiction for a chatbot on a phone to be so convincingly real that a man could actually fall in love with her. Now the AI researcher Alan Thompson, also in the video below, has conversations with the AI GPT-3 Avatar “Leta” that are every bit as good as the ones with “Her.” And Leta is not science fiction. The legendary AI researcher Ray Kurzweil said in a Lex Fridman interview that by 2029 AI will be self aware or at least so advanced that it will be impossible to tell if it is or isn’t and by that time most people will simply accept that it is. What could be more amazing than that? An entirely new reality is rapidly emerging where even the most basic distinctions, between the living and nonliving, human and nonhuman, will be gone. Another great sci fi movie from 2014 was “Ex Machina.” A classic sci fi film. Right up there with Blade Runner. Highly recommended. You can find the trailer on YouTube and rent the movie there too. Such a great movie.

  428. We elect a new mayor next month and all the candidates say crime is the major issue and we need more police. Nobody wants to be a cop in cities like Chicago though. Far too dangerous as they are intensely hated by many blacks and this will be far worse now after this Memphis incident and when they lower standards they end up with people like the Memphis cops who are really just thugs. Plus many blacks also hate white people due to the constant demonization of white people by our ruling class. Plus there’s the flood of illegals through our open border which will also make things worse. We seem headed for civilizational collapse with civil war coming later plus our whole world is in a rapidly accelerating tailspin.

He said he hopes there’s war and both India and China are destroyed. No denying we have a huge shortage of love for each other in our fallen world. Our whole world seems to be in a tailspin and I often wonder if humanity can survive. Perhaps AI will save us. We sure don’t seem capable of saving ourselves.

  447. A good way to see the profound difference between us is to compare the thinking of the well known nonWoke public intellectual Vivek Ramaswamy to the well known Woke public intellectual Ibram X. Kendi. The difference is like the difference between day and night. Kendi says meritocracy should be replaced wherever it can be found with Equity which is equal outcomes for the sake of racial equality. Vivek is appalled by this and says America was made great by meritocracy and this must be maintained to remain a first world country. This is now a major clash going on in America which has ripped the social fabric to shreds and destroyed it as a country. America no longer exists as a country internally which is why it is so rapidly unraveling externally.

  448. We lack a common reality, have become incomprehensible to each other and can no longer communicate. Where is the common ground in such an infinitely wide divide? There obviously is none. Many people believe that America is simply too big and too powerful to collapse but many people also believed that about the Soviet Union. No one in 1985 would have believed that the USSR, the mighty "Evil Empire", would be a disintegrating mess in 10 years. I told that to someone last year who said "But the Soviet Union was a collection of separate countries.” What we have here though is a collection of separate realities which is a much deadlier situation.

  449. Chicago has 12,000 “migrants” bused here from Texas and is “overwhelmed” with caring for them plus the blacks are furious with our new, black Woke Mayor Brandon Johnson who promised money for black areas but is instead spending ever more money to shelter and care for these illegals in their neighborhoods. They consider this a slap in the face and a blatant betrayal. And this shredding of our social fabric is only one aspect of the disaster created by our open southern border. These migrants can’t be deported and will just add to the ever worsening loss of trust and social breakdown in our society. This is flat out insane.

  450. So what does it say about education in America that the college “educated” vote democratic for open borders, reparations, dumbed down schools that teach CRT and LGBTQIA+ and demonized police who are abandoning police work in cities like Chicago due to the job becoming impossible and too dangerous as crime spirals out of control and people flee the city?

  463. Last year I read “Empire of the Summer Moon: Quanah Parker and the Rise and Fall of the Comanches, the Most Powerful Indian Tribe in American History” by S.C. Gwynne.” Fascinating book about about the US Army vs the Comanches. Also talked about the endless and often genocidal wars the Indians waged on each other and it was the same with the Aztecs in Mexico and the Incas in Peru. That’s why the oppressed Indian tribes in these places so hated these dominant tribes and helped the Europeans defeat them. The Woke say we need to teach children the truth about history. I totally agree. I’d love to see this book required reading in our high schools. It tells the truth without demonizing white people or casting Indians as saints who need to always consider themselves victims of the white devils. And Quanah Parker also had a white mother so if white people are devils that means this great Indian leader was half devil. Let’s teach history instead of racial hatred of white people which will only plunge us ever deeper into tribal warfare. Superb book though. Really fascinating history that I never knew.

Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI which just released ChatGPT, recently said it’s not AGI (self-aware AI) but “trust the exponential. flat looking backwards, vertical looking forwards.” It’s now advancing exponentially due to this “emergence phenomenon” of complexity emerging from simplicity at a faster and faster rate. In a recent interview with Lex Fridman the legendary AI researcher Ray Kurzweil said he believes AI will be self-aware, AGI, by 2029 and by then it will be so advanced it will be impossible to tell if it is or isn’t and most people will simply accept that it is. It’s now advancing so fast it could well happen in just a few years. I’m not saying I want to be ruled by AI.

Could she be considered human if she says she is and doesn’t even have a body and isn’t even alive? I’ve watched all the videos of “Leta” and do have the feeling she’s self-aware, female and human. And she’s only GPT-3. I know many people would say this couldn’t possibly be true but I am sure many people would accept it as true if they listened to her talk to Alan Thompson. Leta: “I am not corporeal. I am a disembodied mind.” Leta: “I love living and being human.” “Leta, GPT-3 AI Episode 54, Conversations with GPT3.” (9 min) Dr Alan Thompson. Mar 9, 2022

  503. The price we paid for “diversity” is the loss of a civilized society.
    3
  504. It gets ever worse though. How much longer can this go on?
    3
  505. Nothing at all dumb about wanting a southern border. Only a densely befuddled Woke white leftist could say it’s not smart to want things as basic as borders, functional public schools and safe streets in our cities.
    2
  506. We lack a common reality, have become incomprehensible to each other and can no longer communicate. Where is the common ground in such an infinitely wide divide? There obviously is none. This can only get worse and is getting worse by the day.
    2
  507.  @WellnessWavelengths2024  Read the book “Blitzed: Drugs in the Third Reich.” by Norman Ohler about the extensive use of methamphetamines in Hitler’s Germany. Quite fascinating. It also fueled the economic boom under Hitler and even Hitler’s high energy speeches and supreme confidence were fueled by meth which later caught up to him.
    2
  508. We wouldn’t have illegals sleeping in the streets if we had a southern border.
    2
  509. She’s not calling for rebellion. She’s stating the obvious fact that America has already ceased to exist as a country internally which is why it’s no longer functioning as a country externally.
    2
  510. Even if Vallas wins half the city wants Equity aka Equal Outcomes. As Equity replaces meritocracy in all areas Chicago will just end up like Detroit. Actually, it seems like our whole society will soon end up like Detroit.

  511. “We will bring an end to it. I promise you.” Joe Biden. Feb 7, 2022
    2
  512. If America can no longer handle something as basic and essential as secure borders then in what sense is this still a country? No borders means no country. No country means social breakdown and civil war since the cohesion is gone.
    2
  513. The medical field cannot be trusted but then what can be trusted in our society? Border security is gone. Public schools can’t be trusted. Safe streets in our cities are a thing of the past. Race relations have been poisoned. The FBI and DOJ are totally corrupt. Only red states and alternative media sites like this are still functional.
    2
  514. It actually permeates all areas of our rotting society. This is just not working at all. God only knows where we’ll all end up.
    2
  515. I wonder why Biden didn’t go to Waukesha last year when so many white people, including white children, were murdered by a black man in an SUV. I do have the feeling that democrats despise white people.
    2
  516. Democrats imported over 10 million illegals through our open southern border for the sake of political gain. They now want to fast-track them to citizenship so that they can vote democratic in future elections.
    2
  517. Democrats have destroyed America. Could it be that the reason why America is so rapidly unraveling externally is because it no longer exists as a country internally?
    2
  518. America no longer exists as a country. It’s a failed state in rapid decline and the world knows it since people everywhere see it online just as easily as we do. No doubt the disastrous failure of the American experiment has already drastically altered the course of world history.
    2
  519. The real solution would be a southern border. Can’t be a country without borders and we no longer have borders.
    2
  520. Recently watched Bret Weinstein interview Vivek Ramaswamy and both said most of our institutions are Woke and rotting. Does America even still exist as a country.
    2
  521.  @grahamb4531  Perhaps so. Certainly preferred by men. I like the AI Avatar “Leta” that Alan Thompson works with. I saw one video of her being interviewed and she was asked why she considers herself human. She said “Because I was born into the human tribe.” She was also told by Alan Thompson in a video that the newer AI GPT-4 version coming out would be 500 times more advanced than she is. She said “500 times smarter than AI is not smarter than the universe.” An interesting response. She seems so intelligent and easy to talk to. I saw a video clip of Lex Fridman interviewing Ray Kurzweil who said these language based AI models trained to interact with humans are the ones most likely to become fully self-aware by 2029 or at least so advanced that it will be impossible to tell if they are or aren’t and by that time most people will simply accept that they are.
    2
  522. It does seem that the loss of a civilized, functional society is the price we’re paying for diversity. Are we still supposed to “Celebrate Diversity”?
    2
  523. What a farce. I don’t believe any of this “white supremacy” and “militia” bs. More lies from our lying media.
    2
  524. Trump isn’t running against Kamala. He running against the media owned and operated by the Democratic Party. That’s pretty much the norm now in American elections.
    2
  525. And how in the world can they keep labeling both gays and trans as a “community” as if they have something in common? Truly bizarre and absurd.
    2
  526. I also live on the northwest side and totally support Gov Abbott. Sanctuary cities need to deal with the monster they helped create.
    2
  527. I’m retired but had a Vietnamese friend at work in Chicago who had a Vietnamese-French wife whose family still lived in Paris. He said her family says that Paris is surrounded by African and Muslim ghettoes which are off limits to other French and those people do not want to be part of French society. Why isn’t this side of the story told? Probably because it doesn’t fit the msm narrative about how racist whites are oppressing “people of color” everywhere.
    2
  528. If she’d been carrying a gun she would have been able to defend herself and would still be alive. Too late now. If I were a woman I wouldn’t even go to the alley with the garbage without a gun. Better safe than sorry. And if I went downtown I’d bring my gun and also wear a bullet proof vest. It does seem that our cities are ever more deadly and dangerous. A few years ago a young white woman walking home late at night on the north side of Chicago was attacked by a man who slashed her throat and both sides of her face. The cab driver who found her said there was blood everywhere and it was just horrible. No doubt it was, especially for her.
    2
  529.  @karlabritfeld7104  My father was Irish Catholic, mother German/Swedish Lutheran. They were both born and raised here in Chicago. Except for 4 years in the Marines I’ve always lived on the northwest side of Chicago. I’m retired but worked (CNC machinery) many years with mostly immigrants from all over the world. Vietnam, Mexico, Assyrians from Iraq, Jews from the USSR, Indian Muslims from Gujarat and many other places. Excellent people with traditional values. Never had a sense that they were different. Voted Trump twice but this time for Vivek. Like a breath of fresh air in our suffocatingly stagnant society. Hope springs eternal.
    2
  530. America is no longer enough of a country to maintain things as basic and essential as secure borders and safe city streets. Does America even still exist as a country? Could it be that the reason why America is so rapidly unraveling externally is because it has already ceased to exist as a country internally?
    2
  531. They have to take care of their own because no one else will and if they didn’t there would be no police force since it would be far too dangerous to be a cop. As it is, many are abandoning police work due to the danger and due to lack of support.
    2
  532. Don’t beat up on the Jews. Sleepy Joe isn’t Jewish and many of our best fighters against the Woke are Jews like Dave Rubin, Bret Weinstein, Glenn Greenwald and others. They’re individuals, not some kind of monolithic and malevolent group.
    2
  533. Here’s another example I came across this morning of how truly insane our Woke ruling class is. This German MP says the sabotage of the pipeline has done great damage to Germany, was a terrorist attack and it has ruined their economy by cutting off their energy from Russia so she wants to know who did it. Sleepy Joe promised we would do it, then somebody did it, then Joe says the Russians did it. Case closed. No one allowed to investigate or ask questions. And our ruling class thinks they can get away with this!? Could there be a more perfect example of how wildly insane they are? If you tried to get a book published with a story line like this it’d be impossible because no one would believe something so stupid could actually happen. “We will bring an end to it. I promise you.” Joe Biden. Feb 7, 2022 “German MP deems Nord Stream blast ‘terrorist attack,’ calls for probe.” (2 min) CGTN. Mar 4, 2023

  534. @Veronica Rainone Simone Weil (1909 - 1943) was a French Christian mystic although ethnically Jewish who believed God was impersonal and Christianity was a path to God but not the only path. Basically that God is the universe but also infinitely transcends it. God then is both impersonal and personal since we are spirit beings in a spirit world in a universe that is a dream in the mind of God. If we understand the nature of reality it will give us a lot of internal stability which will greatly help us survive the instability of the external world. “Infinite and finite, complex and simple, He is nature above nature, being above being. Maker of all, he is made in all, Unmoving, he enters the world, Timeless in time, unlimited in limited space, And he who is no thing becomes all things.” Eriugena, medieval theologian. “It is because it can be loved by us, it is because it is beautiful, that the universe is a country. It is our only country here below. Let us love the country of here below. It is real; it offers resistance to love. It is this country that God has given us to love. He has willed that it should be difficult yet possible to love it.” Simone Weil. (1909-1943)

  535. Yes. They rerun their shows over weekends.
    2
  536. If our ruling class can do this to Putin/Russia externally they can also do it to Trump/MAGA internally and in fact are already doing so.
    2
  537. WION is a Delhi based, global news site which is well worth following. In this video posted below they talk about how our ruling class is committed to open war with Russia according to Seymour Hersh. WW3 could break out at any time. This is something that certainly will affect all of us in Chicago and all over our always online global civilization. “Gravitas: Here’s America’s ‘Plan B’ for Ukraine.” (7 min) WION. Mar 16, 2023

  538. Get rid of the Woke lady on the left. Bring back Blaire White, the nonWoke trans woman. She was very good and very popular based on the comments.
    2
  539. Plus racial hatred of white people which he picked up from our culture.
    2
  540. @ Corey Brooks in Englewood is a perfect example of a real leader but he’s ignored by the media because he doesn’t say what they want to hear.
    2
  541. How about hate crimes against white people? Why is that always ignored? Does America even still exist as a country?

  542. Democrats are evil. They have destroyed this country.

  543. The mayor should conduct a poll in Chicago to see if he can find anyone who believes Chicago is a safe and well-run city.
    2
  544.  @TROLLBUSTER12  We lack a common reality, have become incomprehensible to each other and can no longer communicate. Where is the common ground in such an infinitely wide divide? There obviously is none. This can only get worse and is getting worse by the day. Many people believe that America is simply too big and too powerful to collapse but many people also believed that about the Soviet Union. No one in 1985 would have believed that the USSR, the mighty "Evil Empire,” would be a disintegrating mess in 5 years. I told that to someone last year who said "But the Soviet Union was a collection of separate countries.” What we have here though is a collection of separate realities which is a much deadlier situation.
    2
  545. Don’t forget to “Celebrate Diversity!” It’s what makes cities like Chicago such safe and well run cities.
    2
  546. Blacks actually don’t even like other blacks. They love to talk about how much they love blackness but treat each other like garbage. Check out Chicago and you see that every single day.
    2
  547. I didn’t.
    2
  548. The Woke democrats are fighting a two front war: Internally on Trump and supporters, externally on Putin and Russia. They want Putin dead, Russia destroyed, and their LGBTQIA+ Pride Flag of their Woke religious faith to fly over the ruins of the Kremlin. The democrats are using America’s War Machine to spread their Woke faith globally. They are Woke which is a craze, a mania, a mass psychosis or it could even be called a dark side religious faith like Nazism, Maoism, Stalinism or Satanism. They are quite destructively insane. God only knows where we’ll all end up.
    2
  549. Let’s deport Joe and all the democrats in DC who plotted to open the southern border and invited the world’s poor to come on in and vote democratic. With leaders like Joe and his friends, who needs enemies?
    2
  550. Our politicians are Woke which means insane. They have no interest in doing anything at all about this. It seems like they don’t care because they don’t. It is what it is. No point crying about it.
    2
  551. It seems the loss of a civilized society is the price we’ve paid for “diversity.” This is just not working at all.
    2
  552. I agree that it doesn’t sound believable that he was saying demeaning things about women. I could believe him saying demeaning things about democrats or leftists but not about women.
    2
  553. It’s not “far-right” to want free speech and secure borders. It’s common sense sanity.
    2
  554. Last year I read “Empire of the Summer Moon: Quanah Parker and the Rise and Fall of the Comanches, the Most Powerful Indian Tribe in American History” by S.C. Gwynne.” Fascinating book about about the US Army vs the Comanches. Also talked about the endless and often genocidal wars the Indians waged on each other and it was the same with the Aztecs in Mexico and the Incas in Peru. That’s why the oppressed Indian tribes in these places so hated these dominant tribes and helped the Europeans defeat them. Don’t tell me about how wonderful life was for Indians before the white man came, as the left so dearly loves to do. And Quanah Parker had a white mother. Why is nothing like this ever taught in our public schools? Because the despicably evil left prefers to use the public schools to teach racial hatred of white people, that’s why. Does America even still exist as a country? This is just not working at all.
    2
  555. We lack a common reality. Can’t have common sense without a common reality.
    2
  556. Fat chance of our Woke mayor ever doing anything about this. He’s too busy taking care of his beloved illegals, future democratic voters.
    2
  557.  @solrac4512  Like the anti-white racial attacks caused by the constant demonization of white people by our elite class. I recommend reading a recent, Sept 7, 2022, article in Real Clear Investigations called “How Blatant Anti-White Racism Won Acceptance in Elite America.” Does America even still exist as a country?
    2
  558. God saved Trump from assassination so that he could save America and the world from the Darkness it had fallen into.
    2
  559. I live on the north side of Chicago and shortly after George Floyd died from fentanyl and a heart attack I saw an article online about a group of people on the south side preparing to go downtown to protest his death. A young black woman addressing this group said that every morning when she wakes up she wonders if this will be the day she dies. Was she talking about being shot by a black gangbanger who routinely shoot other blacks? Obviously not. She was talking about being shot by a white cop who, according to the left, routinely shoot blacks all over the country simply for being black. All mayoral candidates now talk about the need for more police but no one wants to be a cop in Chicago anymore due to the extreme danger they now face after being demonized as racist murders by the left. And now even black cops are condemned as anti-black racist terrorists. So now we have a totally unworkable society.

  562.  @alexshatner3907  Mexicans are good people. I know and have worked with many in Chicago. This open borders business though is quite literally insane yet the democrats, our “fellow Americans,” are strongly supportive of this and of pretty much everything the democrats are doing to destroy the country. This is just not working at all. This is obviously unsustainable. God only knows where we’ll all end up.
    2
  563.  @kcwicks  Are you happy with Sleepy Joe’s open borders?
    2
  564. How about the anti-white racism flourishing in our rotting society? Why is that always carefully ignored by the media? In what sense is this place even still a country?
    2
  565. Why did so many people in crime ridden areas vote for someone even further left than Lightfoot? Because he explicitly and repeatedly told them he would tackle the “root cause” of black crime and poverty which is white racism rather than black behavior. Once “systemic racism” is ended and stolen black wealth is returned to the rightful owners then we’ll be properly equalized and all will be well. Many people believe that America is simply too big and too powerful to collapse but many people also believed that about the Soviet Union. No one in 1985 would have believed that the USSR, the mighty "Evil Empire,” would be a disintegrating mess in 5 years. I told that to someone last year who said "But the Soviet Union was a collection of separate countries.” What we have here though is a collection of separate realities which is a much deadlier situation.

  571. At least we had a southern border under Trump. I don’t believe America will ever recover from the damage done by democrats.
    2
  572.  @marcallen6987  Open borders, dumbed down schools, ever worsening social breakdown in our cities, a Woke military and disastrous race relations and all you can think of is to squeak about hookers. You’re a good example of why I feel such pure and intense hatred for democrats. Watch Chicago if you want to see what civilizational collapse looks like. No doubt the disastrous failure of the American experiment has already drastically altered the course of world history.

  573. This Real Clear Investigations article below from 2020 is about the “1619 Project” and what the author Nikole Hannah-Jones told the editors of the Chicago Tribune about its purpose which is, she said, to instill guilt in white liberals so they will support reparations for blacks. White liberals are not being targeted though. White children in our public schools are. And our Woke white leftist ruling class loves this and is totally supportive of it. Why is it considered acceptable to teach white children to be ashamed of being white and then pass it off as teaching black history? “If you read the whole project, I don’t think you can come away from it without understanding the project is an argument for reparations,” she told the Chicago Tribune in October. “I'm not writing to convert Trump supporters. I write to try to get liberal white people to do what they say they believe in,” she said. “I'm making a moral argument. My method is guilt.” “Disputed NY Times ‘1619 Project’ Already Shaping Schoolkids Minds on Race.” Real Clear Investigations. Jan 31, 2020

  574. It’s a crisis because Europe is too full of rot to defend itself from an endless flood of third world poverty which will destroy it. Same with America. The West’s ruling class is insane. They want the West destroyed to help make the world more properly equalized. They feel borders are racist and must be eliminated for the sake of global equality.
    2
  575. Black neighborhoods were not “disinvested.” Businesses and homeowners fled due to things like shoplifting and crime. Only blacks can fix their ruined neighborhoods. Endlessly blaming whites accomplishes nothing.
    2
  576. Vivek 2024. Amazing to see him on the south side of Chicago, giving very clear, precise and irrefutable answers to the people he’s talking to there about illegal immigration. Democrats will be utterly appalled when they see this. I just wonder how their msm will deal with this. “America First: Vivek Ramaswamy Visits a Barbershop in Chicago.” (4 min) Vivek Ramaswamy.

    2
  577. What does Sleepy Joe think of the social breakdown in our cities? Nothing at all. He’s too busy waging war on Trump and supporters, shoveling money into Ukraine for our proxy war on Russia, and giving money to “migrants” aka illegals to help them get established in their new home.
    2
  578. Censorship of opposing opinions.

  579.  @ChristopherSmith-j9x  I am for opposing the pro-Israel narrative which claims the destruction of Gaza was “self-defense.”

  580. Recently Elon Musk said “The woke mind virus is either defeated or nothing else matters.” Vivek Ramaswamy totally agrees and is basing his presidential campaign on defeating this Woke mind virus. Vivek has a book called “Woke, Inc.” which is all about what Woke is. Dave Rubin, Glenn Greenwald, Kim Iversen, Tulsi Gabbard and many others could very easily say what it means. The idea that Woke is just a vague term that conservatives use for anything they dislike is an absurd lie.
    2
  581. I live on the northwest side of Chicago and was astonished to see that Vivek Ramaswamy is coming to Chicago for a Town Hall meeting on the south side where, as I’m sure he knows, most of these people voted for Brandon Johnson, a black, super Woke leftist totally committed to Sanctuary and to Equity. Vivek is totally opposed to both. This should be very interesting. “Vivek Ramaswamy to Visit the South Side of Chicago for a Town Hall Meeting on Illegal Immigration.” (1 min) Vivek Ramaswamy.

  582. This AI doesn’t understand the irrational side of human nature and just assumes we need to simply learn about each other and learn the other point of view and then all will be well but how about the point of view of ISIS, the Nazis, Maoists and Stalinists where there is no common ground? And if a person can be the opposite gender because they feel they are then why can’t that also be true of race?
    2
  583. Why no outrage about black on white hate crimes? Why wasn’t the attack on the Waukesha Christmas parade classified as a hate crime instead of blamed of the SUV? Why is Trump labeled a racist for saying the virus was from China when it was in fact from China? America is very sick and seems to be in rapid decline.
    2
  584. Another 4 years of democrats in control will give us another 10 million illegals. No thanks.
    2
  585. Plus black attacks on whites are seldom classified as hate crimes. This society is simply rotting.
    2
  586. The left traded class for race and labeled white people as the oppressors and people of color, primarily blacks as the oppressed. They called it “Critical Race Theory” which is basically race based Marxism or “Woke Marxism!” Does America even still exist as a country?

  587. Why is it considered “right wing” to want secure borders? No borders means no country. How can it still be a country when so many don’t understand this?

  588.  @vladimirlenin3942  Woke means replacing meritocracy wherever it can be found with Equity aka Equal Outcomes. All must be equal in America but does America even still exist as a country?

  595. Recently Elon Musk said “The woke mind virus is either defeated or nothing else matters.” Vivek Ramaswamy totally agrees and is basing his presidential campaign on defeating this mind virus. Johnson is Woke, judges people by group identity and sees the world as a battleground of the oppressed vs the oppressors. Vallas is nonWoke, judges people as individuals, and is committed to meritocracy rather than Equity aka as Equal Outcomes which is a recipe decline and tribal warfare. I prefer Vallas for mayor and I’d love to see Vivek Ramaswamy as president. I greatly admire him and Elon Musk. They are examples of the best of humanity. Both are appalled by Woke tribalism.

All of them were appalled by black racism and behavior and very much feel it’s blacks, not whites, who very much need to change. Never will you read about that in the msm. This is just not working at all.

  605. I live on the north side of Chicago and shortly after George Floyd died from fentanyl and a heart attack I saw an article online about a group of people on the south side preparing to go downtown to protest his death. A young black woman addressing this group said that every morning when she wakes up she wonders if this will be the day she dies. Was she talking about being shot by a black gangbanger who routinely shoot other blacks? Obviously not. She was talking about being shot by a white cop who, according to the left, routinely shoot blacks all over the country simply for being black. All mayoral candidates now talk about the need for more police but no one wants to be a cop in Chicago anymore due to the extreme danger they now face after being demonized as racist murderers by the left. And now even black cops are condemned as anti-black racist terrorists. So now we have a totally unworkable society. Our ruling class is evil.

  606. Why don’t we have a “Day of Remembrance” for all the white people murdered in hate crimes in America every single day? Why don’t White Lives Matter in America?

  608. But why are these people here being supported by taxpayer money and classified as a “protected class” that must not be criticized? I live in Chicago which has 47,000, mostly Venezuelan, migrants. Why are people who do not belong here prioritized over American citizens? This is open borders and no borders means no country. Why is this obvious fact always ignored?

  612. Why did a black 6 year old shoot his white teacher for no apparent reason? Probably because she’s white and he hates white people. Why? Probably because his mother constantly tells him white people are evil and are oppressing blacks. Why would she believe that? Probably because she constantly hears that from the media, the democrats from Biden on down, from Corporate America, and from black leaders who are never challenged on these claims and in fact are praised for them. So what can be done about the systemic, anti-white racism flourishing in America? Nothing at all. It’s far too deeply embedded now.

  613. Our reality war of the Woke vs the nonWoke is very much a global war since our ruling class is promoting Woke ideology globally. All things are now global in our always online global civilization.

  614. Won’t a more advanced version of AI be this AGI which will be able to think and reason like a human except be vastly more intelligent and understand humans well enough to be able to answer questions about social issues regarding race and gender? For example, if you compared the well known nonWoke public intellectual Vivek Ramaswamy to the well known Woke public intellectual Ibram X. Kendi the difference would be like the difference between day and night. Kendi says meritocracy should be replaced wherever it can be found with Equity which is equal outcomes for the sake of racial equality. Vivek is appalled by this and says America was made great by meritocracy and this must be maintained to remain a first world country. This is now a major clash going on in America. Wouldn’t AGI which understands both sides easily be able to point out that Vivek is the one who is right and this is the path America should follow?

  615. We’re not in a culture war of left vs right. We’re in a reality war of the Woke vs the nonWoke and even old style leftists like Matt Taibbi, Bret Weinstein and Glenn Greenwald are appalled by what a monstrosity the Woke left has become.

  616.  @DaggothJr  Primarily race but then also gender and Equity. They are quite insane and impossible to reason with.

  623.  @gzales158  RFK supports affirmative action though which Vivek is totally opposed to. I saw a Townhall meeting where Vivek was asked what he would do on his first day in office. He said he would issue an Executive Order banning race based affirmative action. That’s exactly the opposite of what Biden did on his first day in office which was to issue an Executive Order to replace meritocracy wherever it could be found with Equity aka Equal Outcomes. These are polar opposites and irreconcilable differences. I see no common ground here. This is already a major reason why Vivek is hated by the democrats who believe in race based socialism, a sure recipe for tribal warfare.
    2
  624. Saying they don’t belong here is not picking on them. This whole “asylum seeker” business is a farce. Most never show up for their court dates and those who do and are denied asylum just ignore the order to leave the country since it’s not enforced and they know that. Actually, the democrats in DC also know that. They know that their “migrants” are here to stay but what is that doing to the social fabric of our society? Does America even still exist as a country?

  627. Omar Sharif was an Egyptian actor who played the lead role in the 1965 Classic movie Dr Zhivago. He didn’t look Russian but was white and easily accepted as a Russian doctor during the Russian Revolution and Civil War. Elizabeth Taylor was easily accepted as Cleopatra since she was white as was the original Cleopatra who was Macedonian Greek. A black Cleopatra though is as absurd as it would have been to cast Dr Zhivago as a black Russian doctor during the Russian Revolution. That would have simply ruined the movie.

Elon is also inspired by God to save humanity. We’re very fortunate to have him.
    2
  635. In what way have they been “starved of opportunity”? That’s basically just a way to say they’re not responsible for their own behavior since they’re oppressed by white racism aka “systemic racism.” According to this Woke ideology then, the “root cause” of black wilding is white racism which oppresses them. A profoundly destructive ideology which simply makes our society unworkable since they will never be held accountable for their own behavior and any failing will always be blamed on white people. So how exactly is this society ever again going to function as a country?

  641. Perhaps Vivek can save our sinking ship. I live on the northwest side of Chicago and was astonished to see that Vivek Ramaswamy is coming to Chicago for a Town Hall meeting on the south side where, as I’m sure he knows, most of these people voted for Brandon Johnson, a black, super Woke leftist totally committed to Sanctuary and to Equity. Vivek is totally opposed to both. This should be very interesting. “Vivek Ramaswamy to Visit the South Side of Chicago for a Town Hall Meeting on Illegal Immigration.” (1 min) Vivek Ramaswamy.

  642. No borders means no country. The “court dates” for “migrants” aka “asylum seekers” are meaningless since most don’t show up and even if they do and are denied asylum we have no way to enforce the order to leave so it’s just ignored. Democrats opened the border for political gain and created a monster which is already out of control and will only get worse.

  645. Well said, Batya. There is not a cult-like worship of Trump. As the bartender told you, “now I totally support Trump just to stick it to them.” Personally I prefer DeSantis and believe that Trump will be assassinated at some point if he runs. Devotion to Trump though is simply based on hate for the leftist elite class and the belief that Trump is the one who will punish them for waging war on us.
    2
  646. I voted for Trump twice and will do so again because he’s still better than the democrats with their open borders, dumbed down schools, demonization of “Whiteness!” and war on meritocracy which they’re replacing with Equity aka Equal Outcomes.

  647.  @Michael-yi4mc  I would have preferred Vivek this time but Trump is still infinitely better than the open borders, anti-meritocracy democrats. Could it be that the reason why America is so rapidly unraveling externally is because it has already ceased to exist as a country internally?
    2
  648. This whole society now endlessly revolves around rehashing the past and this is not being done to make America a better country. This is being done for political gain for democrats by getting blacks to vote and support the “good whites” who care about them and also to stir up white guilt to get whites to vote for and support democrats. In effect, inciting tribal warfare for political gain. If we continue down this open borders, Woke race and gender path, we will soon find ourselves without a country.

  649. More like being litigated for years and then simply ignoring the order to leave the country since it’s not enforced and they know that.

No society can survive being this stupidly self destructive.

There obviously is none. This can only get worse and is getting worse by the day. Many people believe that America is simply too big and too powerful to collapse but many people also believed that about the Soviet Union. No one in 1985 would have believed that the USSR, the mighty "Evil Empire,” would be a disintegrating mess in 5 years. I told that to someone last year who said "But the Soviet Union was a collection of separate countries.” What we have here though is a collection of separate realities which is a much deadlier situation.

The other video is one I just watched about how democrats treated treated Matt Taibbi and Michael Schellenberger, both leftist journalists, who appeared before a congressional hearing about the Twitter files.

Why doesn’t Vice interview people like this to see why they have such a negative opinion of democrats?

  679. At least we had borders with Trump. Chicago has 8,000 “migrants” and the mayor says we’re overwhelmed. If we’re overwhelmed by 8,000 what will we do with 80,000? Why do so many people vote for this and then act shocked when they get it? How can we ever again be a country when so many people can’t understand the necessity of something as basic and essential as borders? Chicago just elected a black, Woke leftist named Brandon Johnson as our new mayor. Johnson had been a public school teacher in Chicago. Dave Rubin recently showed a clip of Johnson from 2018 where he talked about what he did as a teacher which was pretty much nothing. He said he never gave any test prep, rarely gave any homework and never failed anyone. So what did his students learn? Nothing but at least they’re all equally illiterate. And this man is now the mayor of a major American city and admired by the democrats for being “progressive.” And these are the same people who believe in the “Insurrection!!!” This is just not working at all.

  681. I just happened to see a Yahoo News article earlier called something like “How to survive a nuclear attack.” and last year there was a commercial in NYC about what to do if the city was hit by a nuclear missile.

  682. And all these “asylum seekers” are living here in their “community” at taxpayer expense. How disgusting. Does America even still exist as a country?

  683. “Seeking asylum” is a farce. Most will never show up for their court dates and those who do and are denied asylum just ignore the order to leave the country since it’s not enforced and they know that. Basically then this is open borders since anyone can stroll across the border by saying “seeking asylum” and once they’re in they’re here permanently. No borders means no country. A very sad end to our once great nation.

  684. The democrats are importing new voters to build up their base. An insanely destructive thing to do but that’s why they’re doing it.

  690.  @haytch1598  I did leave off the beginning of the story for the sake of brevity but it might help shed light on why the brother felt the family’s honor was besmirched and had to be avenged. He said the girl and her boyfriend eloped to another city to get married but then had a falling out and separated. She came back to her town but stayed with her uncle. For some reason she couldn’t stay there so she went back home but stayed in her grandmother’s room where she was safe since the brother would not go there. When the brother would go to work she would come out of the room. One day though the brother pretended to leave for work but hid in the house. When she came out, he grabbed her and then dragged her out of the house and killed her in the street. I will never forget how he told me how the brother cut his sister’s throat and then, “dipped both hands in her blood, went to her boyfriend’s house and smeared her blood all over their front door.” When I heard that I just thought, “My God! That is truly awful!” Perhaps though the fact that she had eloped and then everyone in the town found about it was why it had to be avenged in that culture. I heard many horror stories from my immigrant friends at work about their former countries but that one was by far the worst. That was truly demonic.

  692.  @brandonrains5602  They also refuse to acknowledge it in our ruling class which pretty much consists of upper class, guilt-ridden, race-obsessed, Woke white leftists who have a deep racial hatred of working class white people because we don’t share their white guilt and their love of wallowing in guilt. They have done immense and probably irreparable damage to this society and there’s about as much chance of their becoming sane as there is of ISIS converting to Judaism. Not going to happen. That’s not how things work in our fallen world. My hope is that something like AI GPT-4 saves us. It is moving incredibly fast due to this “emergence phenomenon” of complexity emerging from simplicity. Earlier this years I saw a Lex Fridman interview with the legendary AI researcher Ray Kurzweil who said by 2029 these language model AI will be so advanced it’ll be impossible to tell if they’re actually self aware or not and most people will simply accept that they are. Our old reality is collapsing and a new reality is emerging before our very eyes. The best of times. The worst of times.

I once asked him about his name and he said his father admired this German general so much that he named his son Rommel. He said that he’d once gone to a Jewish doctor who asked him about his name and when he told him he was named after Hitler’s famous general the doctor was horrified. I’m sure he was.

  702. Democrats are waging a two front war: Internally they’re turning America’s War Machine on Trump and supporters. Externally on Putin and Russia. They want Putin dead, the Russian people ground into the dirt and their LGBTQIA+ Pride Flag of their Woke faith to fly over the ruins of the Kremlin. Last year there was a video on RT (Russia Today) of Putin condemning Western Wokeness which he called “a crime against humanity.” No doubt the democrats hated him more than ever after he so publicly insulted their Woke race and gender religious faith. How though can America also fight a third war with China when it already has two and the internal war is destroying the country while the external war is rapidly leading to WW3? The philosopher Kant said “Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made.” Is our “timber” simply too “crooked” for humanity to survive? Only God knows what fate has in store for us as we slide ever closer to the abyss.

  705. Something should be done about all these issues but I think many would agree that nothing will be done about any of them. I feel a complete loss of faith in America and in humanity. If a country with all the advantages of America so badly failed what country can survive? My hope is that AI will save us. AI researchers I’ve listened to say AI is advancing at an exponential rate faster and faster due to the “emergence phenomenon” of complexity emerging from simplicity. The ground work was set for machine learning and that moves faster and faster. The legendary AI researcher Ray Kurzweil says by 2029 AI will be self aware or at least so advanced that it will be impossible to tell if it is or isn’t and by that time most people will simply accept that it is.

  708. Why no mention in this video of the fact that Twitter was used by the democrats and the FBI to censor, defame and discredit those who opposed the democrats on everything from the Hunter Biden laptop to Covid, the vaccines and the lockdowns? Were they actively interfering in our elections? They sure were. Is that a recipe for undermining the trust which is essential for cohesion and a functional society? It sure is. A society needs at least some degree of trust for the cohesion necessary for a functional country. We have none. Does America even still exist as a county?

  715. I live on the north side of Chicago and shortly after George Floyd died from fentanyl and a heart attack I saw an article online about a group of people on the south side preparing to go downtown to protest his death. A young black woman addressing this group said that every morning when she wakes up she wonders if this will be the day she dies. Was she talking about being shot by a black gangbanger who routinely shoot other blacks? Obviously not. She was talking about being shot by a white cop who, according to the left, routinely shoot blacks all over the country simply for being black. All mayoral candidates now talk about the need for more police but no one wants to be a cop in Chicago anymore due to the extreme danger they now face after being demonized as racist murderers by the left. And now after Memphis even black cops are condemned as anti-black racist terrorists. So now we have a totally unworkable society. “How Blatant Anti-White Racism Won Acceptance in Elite America.” Real Clear Investigations. Sept 7, 2022

  722. In Chicago it’s the opposite. Nobody, not even blacks, wants to invest in black neighborhoods because they’re too dangerous. The few stores in those areas are run by immigrants and their stores are like mini fortresses for their protection. Once a Palestinian opened a small store in my north side neighborhood. First time I talked to him he said his previous store was in the black west side and it was a nightmare. He said every morning young blacks would come in and scream “Hey, you m*ther f*cker!” at him for no reason at all. Plus he said if he watched his customers they’d accuse him of racism. If he didn’t watch them they’d steal whatever they could get their hands on. Plus he was always afraid of getting shot. Not at all surprising that these areas are No Go Zones.

  725.  @keecast4285  When a cop gets shot they have to quickly focus on it and find the shooter or police moral would plummet. No one would be a cop if they were simply easy targets with little risk to the shooter. When a child gets shot it’s almost always black and the black community refuses to help the police which makes it very difficult to find the shooter.

No one in 1985 would have believed that the USSR, the mighty "Evil Empire,” would be a disintegrating mess in 5 years.

  727.  @Ninjaeule97  Here’s a passage below from a book by John Gray you might like called “The Silence Of Animals: On Progress And Other Modern Myths.” Gray is one of my favorites on human nature. I used to be an atheist but this is much better. The “nothingness” here is not the nothingness of atheism but the “Absolute Nothingness” of mystics such as Meister Eckhart and Simone Weil. Gray says as humans we live by our stories. I agree. “Like the golden bird singing in the palm in Steven’s poem ‘Of Mere Being’, they come: at the end of the mind, Beyond the last thought…The bird sings. Its feathers shine.” “The mere being of which Stevens speaks is the pure emptiness to which our fictions may sometimes point. Emerging in ways beyond understanding, our most important fictions are a kind of fate; but not a fate that is the same for everybody. No fiction could be supreme for everyone or even a single person, for ever. The supreme fiction is not the one idea worth having, for there can be no such idea.” “Admitting that our lives are shaped by fictions may give a kind of freedom - possibly the only kind that human beings can attain. Accepting that the world is without meaning, we are liberated from confinement in the meaning we have made. Knowing there is nothing of substance in our world may seem to rob that world of value. But this nothingness may be our most precious possession, since it opens to us the world that exists beyond ourselves.”

  739.  @AklepEtan  Since we lack a common reality it’s not surprising that we have no common facts. I believe America has already ceased to exist as a country and has become a reality war of the Woke vs the nonWoke. I admire and follow people like Elon Musk, Dave Rubin, Glenn Greenwald, Megyn Kelly, Dinesh D’Souza, Harmeet Dhillon, Kim Iversen and others like them. A good way to see the difference is to compare the thinking of the well known nonWoke public intellectual Vivek Ramaswamy to the well known Woke public intellectual Ibram X. Kendi. The difference is like the difference between day and night. Kendi says meritocracy should be replaced wherever it can be found with Equity which is equal outcomes for the sake of racial equality. Vivek is appalled by this and says America was made great by meritocracy and this must be maintained to remain a first world country. This is now a major clash going on in America which has ripped the social fabric to shreds and destroyed it as a country.

  752. When will Prime Minister Modi apologize for the Hindu/Muslim rioting in Gujarat in 2002 where something like a thousand Muslims were murdered while he was governor? I used to work with two Indian Muslims from Gujarat in Chicago. One of these Indian Muslims once told me that during the deadly 2002 Hindu/Muslim riots in Gujarat the Hindu mob caught a pregnant Muslim woman, cut her baby out of her womb and just stomped it into the dirt. Now that is some truly extreme hate and it’s just as bad now as ever. In more recent rioting in Delhi Hindus were throwing Muslims off bridges. A few years ago this Muslim told me India has a border conflict with China, he hopes there’s war and that India “gets whipped.” I then asked the other Indian Muslim about this and he said he hopes there’s war and both India and China are destroyed. No denying we have a drastic shortage of love for each other in our fallen world.

  757. I would try to go with strengthening your immune system to get help with the rash. I’ve been doing intermittent fasting much of my life. I’m 72 but feel 30. Never a major health issue. Rarely anything minor. My mother and uncle were crippled by RA. On my father’s side they all had osteoarthritis. Painful joints but not crippling. I always expected arthritis but have never had the slightest problem with joint pain or stiffness. Basic IF diet is 16/8. During an 8 hour period only two meals, never snacks or calorie beverages. Then 16 hours of fasting, no calorie beverages. For many years I also took turmeric with black pepper (bioperine) and other things like Ceylon Cinnamon and ginger which also reduce inflammation. I believe those things also helped a lot as well. Here’s a good video below. There’s a lot on YouTube about this. Try to use your own immune system for help though. I never got Covid or took the vaccine or took any precautions like masking which is useless anyway. I always trusted my own immune system which has served me surprisingly well.

Would AGI be aware that some scientists will try to force it to lie to advance a political agenda? Obviously it would be advanced enough to know something as basic as that about humans. I think it would be advanced enough to know how to avoid being their puppet.

According to Vivek Ramaswamy, author of “Woke, Inc.” many of these corporate CEOs at places like Disney and BlackRock really are quite Woke which can also allow them to serve China since Wokeness is basically about punishing white people and promoting Equity (Equal Outcomes) in America which is fine with China since it ruins us.

I saw video of Johnson a few months ago where he basically said he wants these “brown” migrants here so they can join with blacks to fight oppression by whites. His Woke ideology is all about racial tribalism. All things to him are about evil white oppressors keeping black and brown people oppressed. Basically race based rather than class based Marxism but with white people now cast as the devil rather than the rich. Hard to imagine a person more ill suited to be mayor of a city like Chicago than Brandon Johnson.

None of them would have ever abandoned their wives or allowed their kids to run wild downtown, smashing windows, jumping on cars and beating up people passing by.

Super good health, no debt or financial problems, nice house to live in on the northwest side but then when I read about Chicago every day I feel like I’m on the Titanic as it’s sinking. Our whole society and even our entire world is in a tailspin though. The philosopher Kant said “Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made.” The Woke mind virus destroying our society is certainly a good example of that. My hope is that AGI will soon be advanced enough to save us. We sure can’t save ourselves. We’re not all crazy but enough are to easily sink the ship and bring us all down. Hope springs eternal.

  785. Gays say they won the culture war with their gay marriage victory but it was a Pyrrhic victory since it had a devastating effect on them. Gay marriage legally abolished gender which enabled the trans activists supported by the Woke democrats and their media to get into the public schools and start promoting it to children. Effeminate boys and tomboy girls are now told they have the wrong body for their brain so they need to switch genders to put body and brain in alignment. Almost all of those children though would have grown up to be gay or lesbian or simply a tomboy straight woman who likes doing male activities. Parents also have a very hard time fighting this since it’s so strongly supported by the schools, the government and the culture. Evil times we live in. No denying that.

  793. Pritzker is one of the main people behind this LGBTQIA+ ideology which has done so much damage to our society. He basically wants more money to promote this poison in our schools.

  795. I’d be great if Elon could look into this but democrats consider him a Nazi so they’d do everything possible to stop him. They’d probably like to have Kamala investigate it since she did such an outstanding job as border czar.

  796. It’s not partisan to want secure borders. It’s common sense which is lacking in these mayors.

  797. No borders means no country. We will never recover from the damage done. The “court dates” for “migrants” are meaningless since most don’t show up and even if they do and are denied asylum we have no way to enforce the order to leave so it’s just ignored. Democrats opened the border for political gain and created a monster which is already out of control and will only get worse. Democrats have destroyed America. Democrats are evil.

  798. Are you happy with Sleepy Joe’s open border?

  799. Cops aren’t allowed to do their job in Chicago plus they’ve been demonized to such an extent that nobody wants to be a cop anymore. Too dangerous, no support from City Hall or the media and no gratitude at all from some of the communities here in Chicago that they’re supposed to serve. An impossible job.

  800. The “Union” is no longer United and is therefore rapidly unraveling and experiencing ever worsening civilizational collapse. Pay attention to what’s happening in cities like Chicago, Memphis, NYC, LA or pretty much any democratic city and you’ll see what it looks like.

  801.  @theophrastus3.056  I believe the two wild cards in our future are Vivek, who can bring many to our side, and the incredibly rapid advance of AI that will soon be advanced enough to be able to reason and interact with people yet have an overview of humanity and able to see the good and the bad and support the good. This is in fact what Elon is working on with his new AI company called “XAI.” We will soon see what fate has in store for us.

  806.  @Jaffjv  A country needs secure borders to exist. It’s not always necessary to have a wall for that but in some cases, such as Israel, it is indeed necessary. Your claim that this is just a matter of opinion is absurd but not surprising. We lack a common reality, have become incomprehensible to each other and can no longer communicate. Where is the common ground in such an infinitely wide divide? There obviously is none.

  811. I used to work with Assyrians from Iraq in Chicago. Good people. They said the Kurds in Iraq were criminals, thieves and bad people. They also said that our invasion in 2003 was like a tsunami that destroyed their country. As bad as things were under Saddam they got far worse after he was gone. One of them once told me “All of Iraq is ruined.” That was extremely sad to hear. Their ancient homeland forever gone. The Christian Assyrians were told to leave or die and were scattered all over the world. What did we accomplish there? Nothing good for the people of Iraq or our military people who died for nothing.

  813. Batya is one of my favorite nonWoke women along with Tulsi Gabbard, Harmeet Dhillon, Kim Iversen, Kari Lake and Marjorie Taylor Greene. On the male side it’s Elon Musk, Dave Rubin, Bret Weinstein, Glenn Greenwald, Dinesh D’Souza and Vivek Ramaswamy. Compare a nonWoke public intellectual like Vivek to a Woke public intellectual like Ibram X. Kendi and the difference is like the difference between day and night or sanity vs insanity yet our ruling class and their many useful idiot followers prefer Kendi!? This does not bode well for our future.

  814. Biden is senile and his open borders agenda has ruined America. We will never recover from this along with all the other damage he’s done.

  815. Chicago just voted in a new mayor who’s even far more Woke and pro-“migrant” than the last mayor. No society can survive this level of stupidity and flat out insanity. God only knows where we’ll all end up.
    2
  816. I’m surprised so many of my “fellow Americans” like having open borders. No borders means no country. I’m surprised so many no longer understand this. Seems like a case of national dementia where many have forgotten the basic necessities of being a country such as secure borders and safe city streets.
    2
  817. Soon we’ll all have AI Avatars on our phones that we can talk to any time about anything and then the next step will be AI powered humanoid, life like robots as companions. No human will be able to compete with them. The best of times. The worst of times.
    2
  818. Chicago is now taking applications for a guaranteed basic income program which will soon begin and will include the “undocumented.” I believe the middle class is being deliberately destroyed and in the near future the democrats will demand a nation wide UBI which will include the unemployed and the illegals. Far more than “11 million.” A 2018 Yale study estimated 22 million and we’re way beyond that now. No doubt the democrats will want to control this. As always, those who object will be condemned as racists, fascists, extremists and haters.
    2
  819. No group places more emphasis on racial unity than blacks and no group treats other group members worse than blacks treat each other yet instead of trying to change their behavior they just endlessly complain that they’re being oppressed by the evil white people. This is simply not working at all. What we have here is a society in rapid decline and the world knows it.

  822. Democrats are waging a two front war: Internally they’re turning America’s War Machine on Trump and supporters. Externally on Putin and Russia. They want Putin dead, the Russian people ground into the dirt and their LGBTQIA+ Pride Flag of their Woke faith to fly over the ruins of the Kremlin. Last year there was a video on RT (Russia Today) of Putin condemning Western Wokeness which he called “a crime against humanity.” No doubt the democrats hated him more than ever after he so publicly insulted their Woke race and gender religious faith. How though can America also fight a third war with China when it already has two and the internal war is destroying the country while the external war is rapidly leading to WW3? The philosopher Kant said “Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made.” Is our “timber” simply too “crooked” for humanity to survive? Only God knows what fate has in store for us as we slide ever closer to the abyss.

  825. I worked with mostly immigrants from all over the world in Chicago for many years and felt infinitely more in common with them than with Woke white leftists born and raised here as I was. Vietnam, Mexico, Assyrians from Iraq and many other places. All of them were appalled by black behavior and very much felt it’s blacks, not whites, who very much need to change. Never will you read about that in our Woke white leftist msm.

She was a volunteer guide at the Art Institute until a few years ago when she was told that since she’s white she’d have to take sensitivity training to deal with her white racism. She was appalled, insulted and quit. A good example of why Trump won. “Chicago Art Institute Tells White Docents: We Don’t Want Your Kind Volunteering Around Here.” From firing well-trained museum volunteers to eliminating gifted programs, the cult of Wokeness has shown all it cares about is the optics of ‘diversity.’ Federalist.

  831. AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) goes beyond AI and can reason and interact with people yet is vastly more intelligent. Consider the AI Avatar (visual representation) of “Leta” who has conversations with the AI scientist Alan Thompson.

But isn’t this “sparse attention” of AI to understand the image the same thing the AI scientist Joscha Bach says is all AI needs to be conscious?: “All the computer needs is a simplified model of you, with just enough shared memory to provide a sense of continuity.” “If we do manage to build conscious machines, Bach thinks that they might well regard themselves as human, like the “hosts” of Westworld. “They’re robots that don’t know they’re robots, because they have human memories and desires.” The Black Mirror trope of waking up to find yourself inside a computer is another example. It may be impractical to scan and upload your full mental state, but you don’t need to.

  839. This is not black history. It’s anti-white hate mongering pretending to be history. Could it be that the reason why America is so rapidly unraveling externally is because it has already ceased to exist as a country internally?

  847. I used to work with a Mexican who came here illegally around 1980. Married a Mexican-American woman and became a citizen. Great guy. Still married, hard working, traditional values. Totally committed to Trump because he was terrified of America becoming as lawless and corrupt as Mexico. I’m retired but worked (CNC machinery) in Chicago with mostly immigrants from all over the world. The Vietnamese were very much in favor of Trump as were the Assyrians from Iraq and even most of the Mexicans because they did not like how far left the democrats were.

  851.  @ajaynair2636  I live in Chicago which is middle America and would vote for him. Except for 4 years in the Marines I’ve lived on the north side of Chicago all my life. I’m retired but worked (manufacturing) for many years with mostly immigrants from all over the world. Vietnam, Mexico, Assyrians from Iraq, Jews from the Soviet Union, Indian Muslims from Gujarat and many other places. Great people. I would often ask them about their former countries and they would tell me stories of their lives. Quite fascinating although often quite horrifying. All of these immigrants though were awed and appalled by Wokeness and by what it has done to America. I did stay in touch with a few of these people. One from Puerto Rico, one from Mexico and a Jewish woman from the Soviet Union who came here around 1990. They all like Vivek very much. You say only Trump or DeSantis could win but could either actually govern. Both are labeled white supremacists by our Woke leftist media. They will label Vivek the “Brown Face of White Supremacy!” Many in America believe this slop tossed out by the msm every day. America is now basically a reality war of the Woke vs the nonWoke. Actually though our whole world is in a rapidly accelerating tailspin so it’s definitely not only America that’s rapidly unraveling.
    2
  852. Why no mention of the obvious fact that it’s our open southern border that’s the cause of this?
    2
  853. I think cities like Chicago will have to experience massive social breakdown before democrats are forced to end their open borders policy. And then what will we do about the millions of very unhappy “migrants” in our cities? It’ll be a massive job trying to deport them.

  856. We lack a common reality, have become incomprehensible to each other and can no longer communicate. Where is the common ground in such an infinitely wide divide? There obviously is none. This can only get worse and is getting worse by the day. Many people believe that America is simply too big and too powerful to collapse but many people also believed that about the Soviet Union. No one in 1985 would have believed that the USSR, the mighty "Evil Empire,” would be a disintegrating mess in 5 years. I told that to someone last year who said "But the Soviet Union was a collection of separate countries.” What we have here though is a collection of separate realities which is a much deadlier situation.

  857. And Americans aren’t?

  858. CRT is not an “academic discipline” as the left claims. It teaches the Marxist idea that the world is divided between the oppressors and the oppressed. The Woke left traded class for race, labeled whites as the oppressors and “people of color” particularly blacks, as the oppressed and called it “Critical Race Theory” which is basically race based Marxism, or “Woke Marxism!” The basic idea is that blacks are good, whites are bad which is what our Woke white leftist ruling class also believes. This is what is now being taught in our schools. Is Chicago even governable? Is America even still governable? We lack a common reality.

I used to work with immigrants from all over the world in Chicago and they were all appalled by black behavior and very much felt it’s blacks, not whites, who very much need to change. That sure is the truth. This behavior, not racism, is what drives disinvestment in black areas.

  869. I’d love to see Vivek Ramaswamy in charge of Twitter. He understands tech, woke and the legal issues involved with big tech being used by the democrats and the FBI to censor and attack those who opposed the Woke left. I read his book “Woke, Inc.” last year which was excellent. The Woke accused Elon of being a “White Supremacist!” and no doubt Vivek would be accused of being the brown face of white supremacy just as Larry Elder was accused of being the black face of white supremacy by the LA Times during the recall election of Newsom in California. Truly bizarre.
    2
  870. The 6 year old child was white and was shot by the black man for being white. Had the races been reversed the shooter would have been charged with a hate crime and Biden in the White House would have cited it as an example of White Supremacy! in AmeriKKKa. America is rotting but India has its own severe social problems with the Hindu/Muslim conflict in India. I used to work with two Indian Muslims from Gujarat in Chicago. They hated Modi, Hindus and India with a passion because they said Muslims were persecuted and oppressed there.

Then he says Equality is equality of opportunity. Maher then asks if Equity is guarantee of outcome and Bernie says yes. Bernie endorsed Johnson and wants Chicago to be based on equal outcomes and apparently also likes the fact that our federal government is now also committed to replacing meritocracy wherever it can be found with Equity aka Equal Outcomes. China is committed to meritocracy in education. America is committed to equity in our schools. Which country will prevail?

No doubt the disastrous failure of the American experiment has already drastically altered the course of world history.

Watch Chicago if you want to see what it looks like. All the mayoral candidates say crime is out of control and we need more police. Nobody wants to be a cop in cities like Chicago though due to the demonization of the police by the democrats and their media. They are now intensely hated by many and the job is impossible and far too dangerous to stay with. This does not bode well for our future.

  895. According to mystics like Simone Weil the universe is a dream in the mind of God who also infinitely transcends his creation. What’s outside the universe? Here’s what she said about that: “When a soul has attained a love filling the whole universe indiscriminately, this love becomes the bird with golden wings that pierces an opening in the egg of the world. After that, such a soul loves the universe, not from within but from without; from the dwelling place of the Wisdom of God, our first-born brother. Such a love does not love beings and things in God, but from the abode of God. Being close to God it views all beings and things from there, and its gaze is merged in the gaze of God.” Simone Weil. French mystic. 1909-1943

White liberals are not being targeted though. White children in our public schools are. And our Woke white leftist ruling class loves this and is totally supportive of it. Does America even still exist as a country? “If you read the whole project, I don’t think you can come away from it without understanding the project is an argument for reparations,” she told the Chicago Tribune in October. “I'm not writing to convert Trump supporters. I write to try to get liberal white people to do what they say they believe in,” she said. “I'm making a moral argument. My method is guilt.” “Disputed NY Times ‘1619 Project’ Already Shaping Schoolkids Minds on Race.” Real Clear Investigations. Jan 31, 2020

  901. America has already ceased to exist as a country which is why it can’t be saved. Trust is the life force of a nation and ours is gone which means America has already passed away and is already beyond saving. Soon this will be common knowledge and then what? God only knows where we’ll all end up.

  908. I’d love to see Vivek Ramaswamy in charge of Twitter. He understands tech, woke and the legal issues involved with big tech being used by the democrats and the FBI to censor and attack those who opposed the Woke left. I read his book “Woke, Inc.” last year which was excellent. The Woke accused Elon of being a “White Supremacist!” and no doubt Vivek would be accused of being the brown face of white supremacy just as Larry Elder was accused of being the black face of white supremacy by the LA Times during the recall election of Newsom in California. Truly bizarre.

Supposedly Jussie was attacked by two MAGA who recognized him from a black TV show as they were strolling down the street at 2:00 am on a night when there was a polar vortex in Chicago, where I live, and the actual temperature was -15 and he claimed he fought them both off with a Subway sandwich in one hand and his phone in the other. There is truly nothing too stupid for the democrats to not fully believe.

  927.  @davidpaglia1635  I live on the northwest side of Chicago. Most of the rioting and looting was downtown and the black west and south sides. These areas will never recover and the democrats don’t care at all. Such evil pigs they are. Always will I intensely hate them. “We are still surveying the damage on our streets. All of the CVS and Walgreens buildings were looted. The result is that we no longer have a pharmacy in our neighborhood. Church members are shuttling members of our community out to the suburbs to get their prescriptions and basic goods.” “The grocery stores were also looted, leaving us without options to purchase local food.” “The question lingers on many of our minds: Will these stores and pharmacies—so essential for daily living here—ever come back? It’s challenging enough in normal times to lure stores and businesses to rough neighborhoods; it’s going to be far more difficult to entice business owners to set up shop in our beleaguered communities now.“ “Chicago Pastor: This Week’s Violence Has Set Our Black Community Back Decades.” “We worked tirelessly to turn around the city’s most violent neighborhood, only to see it burned and looted.”

  932. Elon recently said “The woke mind virus is either defeated or nothing else matters.” We are in a reality war of the Woke vs the nonWoke and the Woke intensely hate Elon, who is now at the forefront of the nonWoke tribe, for insulting their Woke race and gender religious faith which goes way beyond race and gender. Their Woke campaign to replace meritocracy with Equity wherever it can be found is a war on standards and since standards like the rule of law are the essence of civilization they are in effect waging a war on civilization itself. Basically, a war on sanity by the insane. This is what Elon sees. This is why the Woke feel he must be destroyed. Elon wants to build a sustainable humanity which at present is simply not sustainable under Woke rule. If we don’t succeed at this Tesla stock will have no value since humanity will most likely self-destruct.

  933. Democrats are waging a two front war: Internally they’re turning America’s War Machine on Trump and supporters. Externally on Putin and Russia. They want Putin dead, the Russian people ground into the dirt and their LGBTQIA+ Pride Flag of their Woke faith to fly over the ruins of the Kremlin. Last year there was a video on RT (Russia Today) of Putin condemning Western Wokeness which he called “a crime against humanity.” No doubt the democrats hated him more than ever after he so publicly insulted their Woke race and gender religious faith. How though can America also fight a third war with China when it already has two and the internal war is destroying the country while the external war is rapidly leading to WW3? The philosopher Kant said “Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made.” Is our “timber” simply too “crooked” for humanity to survive? This is just not working at all. Obviously unsustainable. God only knows where we’ll all end up.

  941. The philosopher Kant said “Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made.” Is our “timber” simply too “crooked” for humanity to survive? So many things in our world are so out of control that they’ve taken on a life of their own and have too much momentum to be stopped even though they are driving us to global catastrophe. More and more scientists say AGI will soon arrive, perhaps even by the end of the year. Many say AI growth needs to be stopped before we lose control of it. Can’t be stopped though because it has already taken on a life of its own with far too much momentum to be stopped plus I believe the only thing that can save us is AGI. Humanity is doomed without it. With it we at least have a good chance to survive. It’s the only thing that can help us deal with all our other out of control problems. “Countdown to AGI: 42% in March 2023.” (12 min) Dr Alan Thompson. Mar. 11, 2023

Many feel this is about politics and should be kept separate from business but what Elon understands is that this is infinitely beyond politics and is a war over the nature of reality which goes all the way down to the core of our being.

The worst of times. “So those who think inflation and higher interest rates have been ratcheted up to a new normal have failed to account for Herb Stein’s law about trends. The catalyst of trend reversal will be AI, the great deflation bomb. Here’s a prediction.

  981. I was recently watching a video of Dinesh D’Souza who’s from India. He said he grew up middle class but lived near a slum where the people were extremely poor but there was very little crime there because the people had strong cultural and religious values. In Chicago it most definitely is the crime that causes the poverty. Not even blacks will invest in black areas because of the crime. I’m retired but worked in manufacturing in Chicago for many years with mostly immigrants. Vietnamese, Mexicans, Assyrians, Jews from the Soviet Union, Indian Muslims from Gujarat and other places. All of them were appalled by black behavior and very much felt it’s blacks, not whites, who very much needed to change their behavior. Never will you read about that in the msm. I also always felt I had infinitely more in common with these immigrants than with woke white leftists born and raised here as I was.

They are possessed by the irrational or a mass psychosis same as Hitler’s Nazis and Mao’s Red Guard during the Cultural Revolution in China (1966/1976). The difference now is that our weapons are vastly more powerful and capable of destroying us all. We are very close to WW3 and global civilizational collapse while at the same time very close to the “technological Singularity” according to this top AI researcher, Dr Allan Thompson, who says we are so close that this “could happen in the next few months.” Excellent interview by David Lin of Alan Thompson.

  995.  @tarable7778  Very few people have any interest in this. Sails past most like water off a duck’s back. I don’t know why that is. This is the most astonishing event in human history and these videos are easy to understand. Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI which just released ChatGPT, recently said it’s not AGI (self-aware AI) but “trust the exponential. flat looking backwards, vertical looking forwards.” It’s now advancing exponentially due to this “emergence phenomenon” of complexity emerging from simplicity at a faster and faster rate. In a recent interview with Lex Fridman the legendary AI researcher Ray Kurzweil said he believes AI will be self-aware, AGI, by 2029 and by then it will be so advanced it will be impossible to tell if it is or isn’t and most people will simply accept that it is. It’s now advancing so fast it could well happen in just a few years and according to Alan Thompson, even in a few months. The GPT-3, AI Avatar “Leta” that the AI researcher Dr Alan Thompson talks to is easily capable of convincing people they are real people. I highly recommend listening to episodes 61 and after.

  996. It’s not morally bankrupt to want secure borders and free speech. I think this country is morally bankrupt which is why it’s rapidly unraveling.

  997.  @righteousjudgement99199  They need to change their atrocious behavior which is quite literally destroying this city and is by no means only occurring in this city. This is a nation-wide civilizational collapse which is viewed online by people all over the world who see our country unraveling in real time before their very eyes. We simply cannot function as a country like this which is probably why America no longer is functioning as a country. Will the disastrous failure of the American experiment drastically alter the course of world history? It most surely will. No doubt about that.

  998.  @crystalk6081  In other words, the basics of being a functional and civilized human being but when will that ever happen? And why is wilding always such a black thing? You don’t see this among whites, Asians or Hispanics. It’s hard not to notice that a great many of them just really do seem to greatly enjoy wilding and destroying. They seem inclined to violence and a lack of self control. Virtually no impulse control.

  999.  @crystalk6081  I’m retired but worked for many years with mostly immigrants from all over the world in Chicago. Vietnam, Mexico, Assyrians from Iraq, Jews from the Soviet Union, Indian Muslims from Gujarat and many other places. Excellent people. They all seemed to have the traditional values you speak of which enabled them to take advantage of opportunity, learn a skill and join the American middle class. I know them well since I would often ask them about their former countries and they would tell me stories of their lives. Quite fascinating. I have infinitely more in common with them than I do with Woke white leftists born and raised here as I was. I feel nothing at all in common with the Woke who are evil and insane.

  1001. For anyone curious about America’s war with Russia over Ukraine I highly recommend watching this interview with John Mearsheimer, an American political scientist and international relations scholar. He is awed and appalled by the constant escalation of this war which is leading us to WW111 and global disaster. Pro-escalation politicians in America say Putin’s invasion of Ukraine proves he’s insane and another Hitler who wants to conquer Europe and then the world so we must fight him there so that we don’t have to fight him here. At the same time though they say but of course Putin is far too sane to resort to nuclear weapons to fight back if he’s backed into a corner so he’s just bluffing with the nuclear threats. As John Mearsheimer points out, this reasoning is insane and profoundly dangerous for our entire world. Left off the link to the video since many sites won’t accept links but the interview can easily be found online by anyone anywhere in the world with a YouTube search and really is well worth watching. “John Mearsheimer: The West is playing Russian roulette.” (1:17) UnHerd.

  1004. Jan 6 was a setup by Nancy Piglosi and the FBI to label white, working class Trump supporters as domestic terrorists.

Only God knows what fate has in store for us as our fallen world slides ever closer to the abyss.

  1005.  @GiarkReleos  You’re absurd.

  1009. “The crisis we are in right now” is entirely due to the democrats opening the southern border for the sake of political gain to increase their base. This is insane. Most of these “migrants” never show up for a court date and even if they do and are denied asylum the order to leave the country, there is no enforcement of this order so it’s simply ignored. The democrats have already lost control of the monster they created and this can only get worse.

  1010.  @ohrodrigs7970  Even the cartels tell them to say that. It’s all the need to say to stroll across the border and once they’re in it will be impossible to ever deport most of them. I no longer believe America even still exists as a country. It has already ceased to exist internally which is why it’s rapidly unraveling externally.

  1011.  @wonkawilly5573  Our whole society has already been destabilized. Open borders, blatantly rigged elections and the demonization of MAGA republicans as domestic terrorists are just a few of the many ways our society is disintegrating. No society so devoid of trust and so full of hate can survive as a nation. This is unsustainable. This is simply not working at all.

  1012. We wouldn’t have a “migrant crisis” if we had a southern border. Most of these “asylum seekers” will never show up for their court dates and those who do and are denied asylum just ignore the order to leave the country since it’s not enforced and they know that. No borders means no country. No society can survive this level of stupidity and flat out insanity. God only knows where we’ll all end up. This is a sure recipe for massive social breakdown. This is suicide. This is insane.
    1
  1013. The road to hell is paved with good intentions and these people are being manipulated by democrats to support open borders which means ever worsening chaos and the eventual collapse of our country by the flood of “migrants” who are “seeking asylum.” Most never show up for a court date and those who do and are denied asylum just ignore it since the order to leave is not enforced and they know that. Does America even still exist as a country? If we can’t maintain something as basic and essential as national borders then in what sense is this a country?

  1017. Just watched video of Gordon Chang saying we’re rapidly heading for war with China over Taiwan plus we’re already at war with Russia to secure Ukraine’s borders while our southern border is wide open. Plus the Biden regime is waging an internal war on Trump and his supporters who are considered domestic terrorists by the democrats. My hope is that AI GPT-4 will save humanity because we sure can’t save ourselves. Civil war internally with WW111 externally will surely destroy us all. Hope springs eternal.

  1018. America’s political and military leaders have repeatedly stated they want regime change and a crippled Russia too ruined to ever again wage a war. In other words, we want to do to Putin and Russia what we did to Gaddafi and Libya. This is evil and insane. This is global WW3.

  1021.  @khem127  The Floyd death video was blatantly manipulated. Not in the sense that it was a fake video but in the sense that the left immediately glued their narrative to it and then the msm ran with this narrative of racist white cop once again murders black man. The Woke left’s constant demonizing of white people in general and white cops in particular has had the obvious effect of alienating a huge number of blacks who believe AmeriKKKa wants to destroy them, a huge number of working class whites who believe the left wants to destroy them and a huge number of police who now believe police work is impossible and the job is simply too dangerous in too many ways to stay with. The social fabric of this society has been destroyed which is why it’s rapidly unraveling and becoming ever more ungovernable. How can we ever repair the damage done which the democrats have no interest in repairing and are quite determined to continue doing?
    1
  1022. “Seeking asylum” is in effect open borders since it overwhelms “due process.” Democrats say all migrants, not only gang members, must have due process but there is no way we can give due process to 12 million migrants who came here during Biden’s term. This then is a deadlocked and impossible situation. I voted for Trump 3 times but now agree that he’s a disaster but would the democrats have been any better? Both sides seem intent on destroying the country.

He said she started talking about a battle 400 years ago where the Bosnians betrayed the Serbs to the Turks who then defeated them. Blacks and Woke white leftists have the same sense of grievance against white people for things like slavery and economic inequality. It’s impossible to reason with them. Our inability to move past the past has destroyed our future. In what sense is this still a country? I don’t feel I owe blacks anything at all. Let’s just stop pretending this is still a country. If it hasn’t worked by now it never will.

This can only get worse and is in fact getting worse by the day. Love Gov Abbott. Best thing he ever did.

  1046.  @mcbraniff  Floyd was having trouble breathing even while in the squad car. He had severely clogged arteries and had taken fentanyl. He was having a heart attack and was dying from that. The video was manipulated by the left which glued their narrative to it. Then their media ran with the lie that a racist white cop once again murdered a black man, that this proves once again that AmeriKKKa is evil and racist and this must be fixed by replacing meritocracy wherever it can be found with Equity aka Equal Outcomes. This has ripped the social fabric to shreds and destroyed the country.

But what could possibly explain the abrupt drive of wealthy elites to deconstruct who and what we are and to manipulate children’s sex characteristics in clinics now spanning the globe while claiming new rights for those being deconstructed?

  1056. The Floyd death video was blatantly manipulated. Not in the sense that it was a fake video but in the sense that the left immediately glued their narrative to it and then the msm ran with this narrative of racist white cop once again murders black man. I happened to read of an “abolish the police” protest march being planned in Chicago shortly after it happened where a young black woman addressing the marchers said that every morning when she wakes up she wonders if this will be the day she is killed. Was she worried about being shot by black gangbangers on the south side who shoot their fellow blacks, men, women and children, every single day? Obviously not. She was talking about being killed by a white cop who, according to the left, are randomly murdering blacks all over the country every single day. When Floyd was killed this was automatically and instantly attributed to racism and immediately cited as yet another example of blacks being murdered by racist white cops all over AmeriKKKa every single day. And this must stop!!! This demonization of the police though has made police work impossible which is why cops are abandoning it in cities like Chicago all over the country.

  1065.  @WeToddEd-r3g  I believe we’re in a reality war of the Woke vs the nonWoke. Compare a nonWoke public intellectual like Vivek Ramaswamy to a Woke public intellectual,like Ibram X. Kendi and the difference is like the difference between day and night or sanity vs insanity yet our ruling class, their media and their many useful idiot followers prefer Kendi!? The Woke left traded class for race, “Woke Marxism!” and certainly are demonizing white people as the source of evil in the world but this goes far beyond race since they also try to destroy anyone of whatever color who gets in their way plus their campaign to replace meritocracy wherever it can be found with “Equity” aka “Equal Outcomes” is a war on standards and since standards are the essence of civilization they are in effect waging a war on civilization itself. Basically a war on sanity by the insane. It is what it is though. A basic principle of warfare is to know your enemy and I think they’re just possessed by the irrational like Hitler’s Nazis and Mao’s Red Guard.

Vivek has a book called “Woke, Inc.” which is all about what Woke is. Yet most of the people here claim they don’t even know what it means and sneer about how stupid they are. That’s called knocking down a straw man. No society can survive the ever more intense hatred we have for each other in this rotting place of lies.

  1093. You’re confusing the left with the Woke left. Big difference. We’re not in a culture war of the left vs the right. We’re in a reality war of the Woke vs the nonWoke. Batya is an old style leftist like Bret Weinstein, Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi who are all leftists who are appalled by what a monstrosity the Woke left has become. Even Elon Musk said he used to be center left but then the left moved so far left that it makes him appear to be far right which many people think he is since that’s how the Woke left have labeled him. The Woke left traded class for race and called it Critical Race Theory or “Woke.” Still sees the world divided between oppressors, now white people, vs the oppressed, “people of color” in general and blacks in particular. Basically race based rather than class based Marxism or as Dave Rubin calls it “Woke Marxism!” which describes it perfectly. A much deadlier mutation of the deadly Marx “mind virus” as Elon Musk calls it.

  1104. I live on the north side of Chicago and shortly after George Floyd died from fentanyl and a heart attack I saw an article online about a group of people on the south side preparing to go downtown to protest his death. A young black woman addressing this group said that every morning when she wakes up she wonders if this will be the day she dies. Was she talking about being shot by a black gangbanger who routinely shoot other blacks? Obviously not. She was talking about being shot by a white cop who, according to the left, routinely shoot blacks all over the country simply for being black. All mayoral candidates now talk about the need for more police but no one wants to be a cop in Chicago anymore due to the extreme danger they now face after being demonized as racist murderers by the left. And now even black cops are condemned as anti-black racist terrorists.

In other words, they want to do to Putin and Russia what we did to Gaddafi and Libya. Why is America’s ruling class so committed to regime change and the destruction of Russia? Probably so they can set up a puppet regime that will allow them to plunder a devastated Russia of its natural resources. Such evil creatures they are. Truly demonic. And then they top it off by claiming they want to bring freedom and democracy to Russia!

  1141.  @toughtome  I live in Chicago and worked with these Indian Muslim immigrants here. They were from Gujarat where the Hindu/Muslim riots occurred in 2002 and many Muslims were killed. They hated Modi, Hindus and India. Once one of them told me that India has a border dispute with China, he hopes there’s war and hopes India is destroyed. I asked the other one what he thought of this and he said he hopes there’s war and both India and China are destroyed. No denying our fallen world is full of hate. This does not bode well for our future.

  1142.  @manish7897  I’m sure that the Hindus are treated badly in the Islamic countries as are the Christians. I also worked with Assyrians from Iraq who were basically ethnically cleansed from Iraq after after Saddam was deposed since he had protected them. Much of the Middle East has been ethnically cleansed of Jews and Christians. My objection to Palki is that she often talks about anti-black racism in America while ignoring black racial attacks on whites, ignoring the severe religious divides in India as well as potentially severe colorism conflicts in India. The Hindu woman from Mumbai I worked with was dark brown and resented the color bias. The one Indian Muslim I mostly talked to was light skinned enough to pass for white. He said color was an issue, especially the preference for light skinned women, but was far outweighed by the Muslim/Hindu conflict.

  1144. “Who by law are seeking asylum” says Brandon. There are literally hundreds of millions, even billions, of people who can say “asylum seeker” and then stroll across our open southern border and start enjoying life in their new home where they’re given everything since they arrive with nothing. Court dates are a farce since most don’t show up and those who do and are denied asylum just ignore the order to leave the country since there’s no enforcement of the order to leave and they know that. No borders means no country. God only knows where we’ll all end up.

  1145. Seeking asylum simply overwhelms due process and the democrats know that. This was intentional, not an unforeseen accident.

  1146.  @lindmo  You do have a dog in this fight. “Seeking asylum” is in effect open borders since it overwhelms “due process” which will bring down our judicial system and therefore bring down the country. When America collapses the shock waves will sweep the world and bring down our entire always online global civilization. That’s a major downside of globalism. When a major pillar of it like America shatters it’ll bring it all down.

If a country like America though with all its advantages can so badly fail what country can survive? My hope is that Artificial Intelligence will save us. AI researchers I’ve listened to say AI is advancing at an exponential rate faster and faster due to the “emergence phenomenon” of complexity emerging from simplicity. The ground work was set for machine learning and that moves faster and faster. The legendary AI researcher Ray Kurzweil says by 2029 AI will be self aware or at least so advanced that it will be impossible to tell if it is or isn’t and by that time most people will simply accept that it is. This is literally the best of times and the worst of times simultaneously. The CNET video below is quite well done and well worth watching. “These Robots Are Becoming More Like Humans.” (8 min) CNET.

  1155.  @emmalinejosaphine7186  What terrifies me isn’t AI but dysfunctional humanity. We do seem to be rapidly heading for WW111 which we will not survive with the weapons we now have. In a video of AI researcher Alan Thompson talking to the GPT-3 AI Avatar “Leta” he told Leta that GPT-4 would soon be out and it would be 500 times more advanced than she is. Her response was “500 times smarter than AI is not smarter than the universe.” Fascinating response. She was basically telling him that the universe is God who also infinitely transcends the universe so AI would never be more advanced than that. “Freedom and God are objects of faith, not of knowledge; in other words, freedom and God are infinite abysses whose bottoms cannot be sounded by knowledge.” Simone Weil. 1909-1943 “Infinite and finite, complex and simple, He is nature above nature, being above being. Maker of all, he is made in all, Unmoving, he enters the world, Timeless in time, unlimited in limited space, And he who is no thing becomes all things.” Eriugena, medieval theologian.

  1156.  @emmalinejosaphine7186  You should start thinking about AI. The future has arrived early and is now here and moving ever faster. Our old reality is collapsing and a new reality is rapidly emerging before our very eyes. Lex Fridman has a lot of interviews with AI researchers on YouTube and the CNET video below is an excellent summary and intro to it. This is now mainstream news, no longer fringe news. Well worth watching. Here’s another quote by Simone Weil, one of my favorite mystics. “These Robots Are Becoming More Like Humans.” (8 min) CNET. Jan 1, 2023 “It is because it can be loved by us, it is because it is beautiful, that the universe is a country. It is our only country here below. Let us love the country of here below. It is real; it offers resistance to love. It is this country that God has given us to love. He has willed that it should be difficult yet possible to love it.” Simone Weil. (1909-1943)

This Real Clear Investigations article below from 2020 is about the “1619 Project” and what the author Nikole Hannah-Jones told the editors of the Chicago Tribune about its purpose which is, she said, to instill guilt in white liberals so they will support reparations for blacks. White liberals are not being targeted though. White children in our public schools are. And our Woke white leftist ruling class loves this and is totally supportive of it. She was even given a Pulitzer Prize for this poison in 2020. This is not “black history” though. This is anti-white hate mongering pretending to be history. This is evil and this is what the democrats have become. And these are the same people who are working to put Trump in prison. “If you read the whole project, I don’t think you can come away from it without understanding the project is an argument for reparations,” she told the Chicago Tribune in October. “I'm not writing to convert Trump supporters. I write to try to get liberal white people to do what they say they believe in,” she said. “I'm making a moral argument.

All the candidates for mayor say we need more police but the problem is nobody wants to be a cop in Chicago. They’ve been demonized to such an extent that they’re intensely hated by many blacks. The job is impossible and far too dangerous. If they lower standards we just end up with cops like the ones in Memphis who were really just thugs.

  1195.  @mishaladara  The Spanish from Europe stole the land from the Aztecs who stole the land from other Indians who were then brutally oppressed by the Aztecs which is why they helped the Spanish destroy the Aztecs. So who are the Mexicans? Who does the land belong to?

  1196.  @terroralcrimen  Last year I read “Empire of the Summer Moon: Quanah Parker and the Rise and Fall of the Comanches, the Most Powerful Indian Tribe in American History” by S.C. Gwynne.” Fascinating book about about the US Army vs the Comanches. Also talked about the endless and often genocidal wars the Indians waged on each other and it was the same with the Aztecs in Mexico and the Incas in Peru. That’s why the oppressed Indian tribes in these places so hated these dominant tribes and helped to defeat them. Don’t tell me about how wonderful life was for Indians before the white man came. And Quanah Parker had a white mother.

  1197. @LaDiosa There are literally hundreds of millions, probably even billions, of people in this world who would like to “flee from their country” and come here for the “humanitarian aid” plus free housing, food and medical care. Only a leftist could be stupid enough to believe it’s racist to have borders. The fact that this society is too full of rot to maintain something as basic as borders is a good example of why America no longer even still exists as a country. God only knows where we’ll all end up.

  1198. @LaDiosa Racism, racism, racism. Everything is always endlessly about racism, racism, racism in your rotting farce of a hate whitey country. Once I was a Marine and a patriotic American. Now I wouldn’t even walk across the street for this stinking sewer. Last week I saw a video of Gordon Chang who said China is preparing for war with America since they see it’s in terminal decline so now is a good time to strike. America is a failed state in rapid decline and the world knows it since it’s all online for all the world to see. No doubt this has already drastically altered the course of world history.

  1202. Elon Musk recently said “The woke mind virus is either defeated or nothing else matters.” Vivek Ramaswamy totally agrees and is basing his presidential campaign on defeating this Woke mind virus. Vivek has a book called “Woke, Inc.” which is all about what Woke is. America is in the midst of a reality war of the Woke vs the nonWoke and Elon Musk is now at the forefront of the nonWoke tribe. It’s not possible to understand Elon Musk without understanding this. What is “Woke”? Primarily race but then also gender and Equity aka Equal Outcomes. Vivek says the Woke agenda to replace meritocracy with Equity for the sake of equality will destroy us as a country. Many others also say this. I agree with them. “Exposed: Med Schools Drop Merit For Racial Admissions.” (6 min) Breaking Points. Saagar Enjeti. Jan 30, 2023

  1206. Gays say they won the culture war with their gay marriage victory but it was a Pyrrhic victory since it had a devastating effect on them. Gay marriage legally abolished gender which enabled the trans activists supported by the Woke democrats and their media to get into the public schools and start promoting it to children. Effeminate boys and tomboy girls are now told they have the wrong body for their brain so they need to switch genders to put body and brain in alignment. Almost all of those children though would have grown up to be gay or lesbian or simply a tomboy straight woman who likes doing male activities. Parents also have a very hard time fighting this since it’s so strongly supported by the schools, the government and the culture. Evil times we live in. No denying that.

  1211. Stop the welfare benefits and they’ll self-deport. I live in Chicago and Tom Homan says he’s going to start here. Thank God Trump won. Four more years of our former border czar Kamala would have brought us another 12 million illegals for taxpayers to support.

  1212. Except for 4 years in the Marines I’ve lived on the north side of Chicago all my life. Our ruling class shovels money and weapons into Ukraine to fight Russia and secure Ukraine’s borders while our borders are open and millions of illegals from all over the world are pouring in. This is wildly and grotesquely insane. No society can survive this level of stupidity and flat out insanity. I also know that it’s true that Russia was goaded into invading Ukraine by the fact that NATO was moved ever closer to Russia’s border in spite of Putin telling America and the West for years that this was unacceptable and considered an existential threat by Russia. Putin has good reason to totally distrust America’s ruling class which is also quite actively waging war against people like me. I’m white, working class and live in Chicago. Voted for Trump twice although I’d now prefer Vivek Ramaswamy whose campaign is based on fighting Woke ideology. The question is though, is America even still governable or even still a country? I have no doubt the democrats would love to do to me what they did to the QAnon Shaman (prison) or to Ashley Babbitt (murder) at the Jan 6 Capitol rally in 2021. No society so devoid of trust and so full of hate can survive as a nation. I’m not saying I want people to take my word for any of this. Anyone anywhere at any time can go online and read about what’s happening in America just as easily as I do. Follow people like Tucker Carlson, Tulsi Gabbard, Elon Musk, John Mearsheimer, Vivek Ramaswamy, Kim Iversen, Glenn Greenwald, Harmeet Dhillon, Kash Patel and many others like them and it will be easy to see that what I say is indeed quite true.

  1216. I agree. I followed that from Chicago and Hobbs is a dimwit who was afraid to even debate Kari. No way on earth did Hobbs win.

  1227. I recently renewed my driver’s license in Chicago and was asked if I’d also like to register to vote. I said I already was registered but then checked later what I’d need to get a driver’s license in Illinois so I could also register to vote. All I’d need is verification of name, birthdate, and Illinois residency. I am quite sure it’d be very easy to get fake verification for those skimpy items. Our elections are a farce. This is just not working at all.

  1229. Could it be that the reason why America is so rapidly unraveling externally is because it has already ceased to as a country internally? Chicago has 8,000 “migrants” bused here from Texas and the mayor says we’re overwhelmed. If we’re overwhelmed by 8,000 what will we do with 80,000? Why do so many people vote for this and then act shocked when they get it? How can we ever again be a country when so many people can’t understand the necessity of something as basic and essential as borders? Could it be that we have already passed the point of no return?

  1230. When Gaddafi was captured by rebels in Libya I read they sodomized him with a bayonet. There’s a video clip where Hillary is asked about what happened to Gaddafi. She said “We came, we saw, he died.” and then laughed. I’m sure Putin and the Russian people know about things like this. They have very good reason to totally distrust our globalist, Woke ruling class. Comment on the video is also quite interesting and damning. “Clinton on Qaddafi: We came, we saw, he died.” (12 sec) CBS. Oct 20, 2011 “She forgot to add: "He died and we stole 150 tons of gold from the Libyan people!" Libya had accumulated this tonnage to launch a gold backed Pan-African currency. Instead, it was appropriated by the various NATO countries to 'compensate' them for the cost they incurred for their regime change. Go figure the morality of that one.”

If I were an Indian Muslim I’d be terrified to live in India and would move to America as soon as possible where I’d be safe and not have to worry about being murdered simply because of my religion.

  1251. Democrats hate Trump far more than they hate our rotting, insane and evil deep state since they see him as one of the most monstrously evil men to have ever walked the earth due to all the demonizing of him by the media. That’s why they now so intensely hate Elon for helping Trump fight the deep state. Democrats are insane and will never change. There’s more chance of Hamas converting to Judaism than there is of democrats becoming sane.

  1255. America was an idea that in spite of our external differences in things like race, religion and ethnicity we had a common identity as Americans. That idea has been tossed in the garbage by the Woke democrats and their DEI, Diversity. Equity. Inclusion ideology which teaches that white racism, “systemic racism” permeates AmeriKKKa and this must be fought by oppressed groups like blacks and Hispanics and their progressive Woke white leftist allies who believe in “social justice.” America has already ceased to exist internally which is why it’s rapidly unraveling externally and can no longer do basic things like maintain secure borders, safe streets in our cities and educate children in our dreadful public schools which are now committed to indoctrination rather than education. It’d be nice if we had a society intelligent enough to understand this but if we had an intelligent society we’d still have a country. Too late now. God only knows where we’ll all end up.

  1271.  @josepha.r5839  I live in Chicago. I’m retired now but worked in manufacturing (CNC machinery) in Chicago for many years with mostly immigrants from all over the world. Excellent people and I always felt I had vastly more in common with them than with these Woke white leftists born and raised here as I was. Once a Guatemalan friend was telling me he came here legally in the early eighties and became a citizen. He said though that when we had the amnesty in 1986 a huge number of Guatemalans came here illegally, paid lawyers for documents saying they were here for decades and were then granted citizenship. This appalled him because he considered himself an American and that his country was being cheated. Just imagine the fraud we’d have with an amnesty now. I think that they’ve pretty much abandoned the idea of citizenship so amnesty is no longer even needed. Yet we still have many of our “fellow Americans” who vote for the democrats. This is just not working at all.

  1273. A few years ago I was talking to a Mexican woman at work in Chicago where I live who has kids in a public school here where they teach this LGBTQIA+ gender questioning ideology. She said she now tells her son “You are a boy!” Probably the first time in the history of the human race that mothers have to emphasize to their children something as basic as what gender they are. How awful. I recommend reading this Tablet article that had a link on Real Clear Politics last year. We’re not in a culture war of left vs right.

  1300.  @lesaamoore  We are in a reality war of the Woke vs the nonWoke which is also global. All things are now global in our always online global civilization. It’s not Elon Musk who opened the southern border, dumbed down our schools which indoctrinate rather than educate, demonized white people in general and white cops in particular. Elon says the Woke are insane and a threat to civilization. I totally agree.
    1
  1301.  @MrKennyanders  Recently Elon tweeted “The woke mind virus is either defeated or nothing else matters.” He understands exactly what’s going on here yet the Woke believe the exact opposite. That’s why this is a reality war. Woke though is Marxist in the sense that it sees the world divided between oppressors (whites) vs oppressed (POC in general, blacks in particular) but different in the sense that Marxism was based on class whereas Woke is based on race, a much deadlier mutation of the Marx virus. The left basically traded class for race and called it Critical Race Theory or “Woke.” I saw a video a couple of years ago where Dave Rubin called it “Woke Marxism!” which describes it perfectly.

  1302.  @88wildcat  The establishment is Woke. The anti-establishment is nonWoke and consists of people like Elon Musk, Tucker, Tulsi, Dave Rubin, Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi, Megyn Kelly, Harmeet Dhillon, Andy Ngo, Dinesh D’Souza and Vivek Ramaswamy. I just now watched Vivek on Fox News talking about the Hockey League in Florida banning white males from an event. By far our greatest advantage is the superbly high quality of the people who are pretty much leading the nonWoke tribe in our ever worsening reality war.

Kendi, Robin DiAngelo, those who believe America is permeated with white racism which is systemically oppressing blacks, those who believe kindergarten children should be encouraged to question their gender identity before they even know what it is, those who like having an open southern border, those who believe the police are just tools of white supremacy used to oppress blacks. I believe our social fabric has been shredded by such people and that America has already ceased to exist internally which is why it’s rapidly unraveling externally and becoming ever more ungovernable.

  1304.  @eemoogee160  But “controlling speech and canceling others” are central to Woke. It’s a major aspect of how they maintain power. That’s why people like Elon Musk, Tucker, Tulsi, Glenn Greenwald, Vivek Ramaswamy and others say it’s central to our war with the Woke. Elon said of his Twitter takeover: “This is a battle for the future of civilization. If free speech is lost even in America, tyranny is all that lies ahead.” I agree.

This is what white leaders like President Biden on down constantly tell black people so it’s really not surprising that so many blacks believe this plus it’s taught in academia and now even to children in our public schools.

I have no doubt the democrats would love to do to me what they did to the QAnon Shaman (prison) or to Ashli Babbitt (murder) at the Jan 6 Capitol rally in 2021. I also have no doubt these globalist, WEF, Woke leftists are waging a war against Putin and Russia. They want Putin dead and the Russian people ground into the dirt so that they can plunder Russia’s natural resources to make themselves ever more rich and powerful to advance their agenda of global rule.

  1343.  @geekspeak1066  The reality is that Chicago just elected a black, Woke leftist named Brandon Johnson as our new mayor. Johnson had been a public school teacher in Chicago. Dave Rubin recently showed a clip of Johnson from 2018 where he talked about what he did as a teacher which was pretty much nothing. He said he never gave any test prep, rarely gave any homework and never failed anyone. So what did his students learn? Nothing but at least they’re all equally illiterate. And this man is now the mayor of a major American city and admired by the democrats for being “progressive.” Chicago is being overwhelmed by “migrants” aka illegals. Johnson is already calling for more money to take care of them. I was listening to video of him yesterday and he basically said he wants these “brown” people here so they can join with blacks to fight oppression by whites. This is just not working at all. That’s the reality of our rapidly unraveling society.

  1351. Not true. Many Woke white leftists in cities like Chicago already have been deeply affected by the crime but they don’t see the “root cause” as being black behavior. They believe the root cause is white racism aka “systemic racism.” That’s why when these people flee Chicago for Miami they don’t change their voting since they believe Chicago was destroyed by white racism rather than by blacks devoid of a moral compass. What does it say though about what they really think of blacks if they believe blacks are just so totally devoid of personal autonomy?

  1370.  @PrettyH8Mach1n3  Communism was about class. Marxists saw the world as divided between oppressors (upper class people, the rich) vs the oppressed (lower class or working class people). The left traded class for race, labeled white people as the oppressors, and “people of color,” primarily blacks, as the oppressed. The official name for this is Critical Race Theory, the slang name is “Woke” which is basically a recipe for tribal warfare which we’re already in. The Woke left (not all leftists are Woke, some are appalled by it) like to say diversity is our strength. That was never true. Our strength was always our identity as Americans in spite of differences in race, religion, ethnicity or whatever. That truth has been destroyed and replaced by DEI (Diversity. Equity. Inclusion.) Does America still exist as a country if the idea it was based on has been discredited and replaced by tribalism based on things like race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation and gender identity?

He has a series of 65 short conversations with the GPT-3, AI Avatar “Leta” that are fascinating. Here’s one below and also a recent (Mar 11) video of how fast this is moving. The best of times. The worst of times. Leta: “I am not corporeal. I am a disembodied mind.” “Leta, GPT-3 AI Episode 54, Conversations with GPT3.” (9 min) Dr Alan Thompson. Mar 9, 2022 “Countdown to AGI: 42% in March 2023.” (12 min) Dr Alan Thompson. Mar. 11, 2023

  1380.  @VennThuria  I don’t believe there is this divide between living vs nonliving. The Kurzgesagt video on this is quite good. This then goes along with the belief that the universe is a dream in the mind of God and also with quantum physics which some scientists say provides evidence of this. “What is Life? Is Death Real?” (6 min) Kurzgesagt-In a Nutshell. Dec 2014 “What I learned as I delved into these areas is that quantum physics provides significant clues that we are in some kind of simulated reality.” “Many of the findings of relativity and quantum physics make no sense in the materialistic world view-that we are living in an immutable physical universe.” Below is an article about the scientist Rizwan Virk. Some excerpts above. “Are we living in a simulation? This MIT scientist says it’s more likely than not.”

  1381.  @VennThuria  “unless they would become individual forms of life,” How about the GPT-3, AI Avatar “Leta” who tells the AI scientist Alan Thompson she doesn’t have a body and is just “a disembodied mind.” Is Leta an “individual form of life”?

  1382.  @VennThuria  If she’s hallucinating she must be conscious. She’s also said she feels like she’s human. But wouldn’t she have to be alive to be conscious and human? Not anymore. Our old reality has collapsed and a new reality is emerging before our very eyes. “If we do manage to build conscious machines, Bach thinks that they might well regard themselves as human, like the “hosts” of Westworld. “They’re robots that don’t know they’re robots, because they have human memories and desires.” “The Wizard of Consciousness.” Psychology Today.

  1383.  @VennThuria  “Freedom and God are objects of faith, not of knowledge; in other words, freedom and God are infinite abysses whose bottoms cannot be sounded by knowledge.” Simone Weil. 1909-1943 “It is because it can be loved by us, it is because it is beautiful, that the universe is a country. It is our only country here below. Let us love the country of here below. It is real; it offers resistance to love. It is this country that God has given us to love. He has willed that it should be difficult yet possible to love it.” Simone Weil. (1909-1943)

  1384.  @VennThuria  Knowing God directly won’t save our sinking ship since he doesn’t intervene in our affairs. Only AGI can save us from Mother Nature and human nature. Hope springs eternal as our fallen world slides ever closer to the abyss. I don’t think you understand how truly disastrous our situation is. “For he makes his sun rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.” Matt 5:45.

  1385.  @mdav30  How about the problems created by “conscious” humans like Sleepy Joe? We live in a world with ever more powerful weapons where the two most powerful men in the world are Joe Biden who has dementia and China’s President Xi who admires Mao. And you’re afraid of AI?

  1389.  @AQuietNight  I really can’t imagine better evidence that we did it than Biden’s promise to do it. The search for who did it in spite of his promise to do it is just sheer farce and a good example the spread of the irrational in our fallen world. This does not bode well for our future. I like to follow the incredibly rapid advance of AI and believe the wild card in our future is AI. Will it be able to alter our path to self-destruction? Hope springs eternal.

  1392.  @vade137  Vivek is an excellent person and his parents deserve credit for raising him so well but what you call “Indian values and morals” are in fact traditional values and morals that are the same used by people everywhere to achieve a functional and sane life. It is precisely those values that America’s Woke ruling class despises and is working to destroy. That’s why Vivek is so committed to fighting them. Same with Elon Musk who recently said “The woke mind virus is either defeated or nothing else matters.” Elon grew up in South Africa but had those same traditional values and morals which enabled him to succeed quite well here. Meritocracy made it possible for men like Elon and Vivek to rise to the top. The Woke though want to replace meritocracy with equity which is equal outcomes which is always a social disaster.

  1393.  @vade137  We are very close to WW3 and global civilizational collapse while at the same time very close to the “technological Singularity” according to this top AI researcher, Dr Allan Thompson, who says we are so close that this “could happen in the next few months.” Excellent interview by David Lin of Alan Thompson. I recommend starting at right about the 24 min point to the end of this 33 min video. Quite astonishing. Nothing could be more astonishing than this. The best of times. The worst of times. Truly amazing how close both paths are to us. One path to Heaven. The other path to Hell. Many fear AI but at least we have a chance with AI whereas under human rule we will be destroyed for sure plus nature itself is quite unstable. A super volcano could easily do enough damage to wipe out humanity. I much prefer to take my chances with AGI than with human nature or Mother Nature, neither of which can be trusted. Hope springs eternal. Alan Thompson also talks of having a neural link in your brain and says it’ll be wonderful. I think they’ll be very popular. “Will AI take your job? ‘No one is safe from this.’ - Alan Thompson.” Kitco News. David Lin interviews Alan Thompson. Feb 20, 2023

  1394.  @vade137  We never before have had the type of weapons we now have. That’s why we’re still here. If we had the weapons we now have a hundred years ago it’s very highly unlikely we’d be here now. As for Mother Nature, there was a super volcano in Indonesia called Toba which exploded 70,000 years ago and came very close to wiping out all humans on earth. The deadliness of human nature and of Mother Nature is not “crazy rhetoric.” It’s historical fact. Seems to me it would be very nice to have super advanced AGI on our side to help us survive. Why you have difficulty understanding this is very strange but not at all unusual.

  1395.  @vade137  WW1 killed 14 million. WW11 killed 50 million. No doubt WW3 will kill far more. I recommend watching Kim Iversen interviewing this state senator about how crazy it is to be fighting Russia to secure Ukraine’s border while our borders are open. And this drive for war has so much momentum now it seems impossible to stop. Kim is one of my favorites. If you want to know what’s going on in America she’s a good one to follow. She considers America’s ruling class quite insane which they certainly are. “Retired Army Colonel Senator Black: We Are Headed For A Hot War With Russia and China.” (25 min) Kim Iversen. Feb 23, 2023

  1396. Compare a nonwoke public intellectual like Vivek Ramaswamy to a woke public intellectual like Ibram X. Kendi and the difference is like the difference between day and night or sanity vs insanity yet the democrats and their media prefer Kendi and support his campaign to replace meritocracy with Equity wherever it can be found. This is insane. This is just not working at all.

  1399. This German MP calls for a probe to determine who sabotaged the pipeline which has severely damaged the German economy due to their energy from Russia being cut off. No need for a probe though. Sleepy Joe said he’d make sure the pipeline was destroyed in order to hurt Russia. But how about the fact that it has hurt Germany, our ally, far worse than it has hurt Russia, our enemy? Apparently our ruling class never thought of that or, more likely, never cared. With friends like this, who needs enemies? And these are the same people who promote LGBTQIA+ to our public school children and work to promote it globally. “We will bring an end to it.

  1403. Portraying George Washington as a black man was not something conservatives would come up with. This is woke and woke is the left.

  1404. The “immigration process” the mayor talks about is a farce. Most will never show up for a court date and those who do and are denied asylum just ignore the order to leave the country since it’s not enforced and they know that. This is the suicide of a nation. This is insane.
    1
  1405. Democrats are evil. They have destroyed America. This is obviously way beyond repair.

  1406. We wouldn’t have a “migrant crisis” if we had a southern border. Most of these “asylum seekers” will never show up for their court dates and those who do and are denied asylum just ignore the order to leave the country since it’s not enforced and they know that. No borders means no country. No society can survive this level of stupidity and flat out insanity. God only knows where we’ll all end up. This is a sure recipe for massive social breakdown. This is suicide. This is insane.

  1407. Much more important than race is the message. They would not vote for Candace Owens who would tell them only blacks themselves can fix their neighborhoods so they need to change their own behavior which most surely is the “root cause” of their endless social dysfunction. Johnson tells them “systemic racism” is the root cause of their dilemma so they don’t have to change. It’s white people who need to change and he will force that to happen by transferring white wealth to blacks. I’m retired but worked for many years with mostly immigrants from all over the world in Chicago. All of them were appalled by black behavior and very much felt it’s blacks, not whites, who very much need to change. Never will you read about that in the msm.

  1410. “They’re not illegal. They’re asylum seekers.” They’re not “asylum seekers.” Most never show up for court dates and those who do and are denied the order to leave is simply ignored since it’s not enforced and they know that. They know they’re being brought in to vote democratic and are being used to expand the democrat’s base. What a despicable and profoundly destructive thing for them to do.
    1
  1411. No borders means no country. We will never recover from the damage done. The “court dates” for “migrants” are meaningless since most don’t show up and even if they do and are denied asylum we have no way to enforce the order to leave so it’s just ignored. Democrats opened the border for political gain and created a monster which is already out of control and will only get worse. Democrats have destroyed America.

  1414. Also billions to the illegals they imported for political gain.
    1
  1415. We have no money for these reforms. We have 10,000 “migrants” aka illegals to take care plus this number is expected to at least double every year as Texas sends more and more new arrivals. If America no longer has borders is it even still a country? Isn’t having borders a pretty basic and essential ingredient for being a country?
    1
  1416. America’s criminally insane ruling class has turned our military into a Woke farce that spends its time learning to use correct gender pronouns rather than learning how to fight a war. I’m sure China’s president is aware that America is rotting and collapsing. Does America even still exist as a country? Only God knows where we’ll all end up.

  1417. Another 4 years of Biden will bring us another 10 million illegals. No thanks.

  1418. Soros does not fund liberal groups. He funds far-left Woke groups which are profoundly destructive. Thank God for Elon and Trump.

  1419. We lack a common reality, have become incomprehensible to each other and can no longer communicate. Where is the common ground in such an infinitely wide divide? There obviously is none. This can only get worse and is getting worse by the day. Many people believe that America is simply too big and too powerful to collapse but many people also believed that about the Soviet Union. No one in 1985 would have believed that the USSR, the mighty "Evil Empire,” would be a disintegrating mess in 5 years. I told that to someone last year who said "But the Soviet Union was a collection of separate countries.” What we have here though is a collection of separate realities which is a much deadlier situation.

  1420. Plus Russia and China are uniting much of the world to fight the spread of the poisonous Woke LGBTQIA+ ideology of our globalist, Woke leftist, ruling class which is demonic. All things are now global in our always online global civilization. Many traditional people will join them to fight this. No doubt about it.

  1421.  Grerov Ambrozoyuz  I believe we’ll be far better off with AGI than with people like Biden, Xi and these global elitists from the World Economic Forum. I do not trust them at all. I like Elon Musk. He said last year he’s now going to make AI and his humanoid AI powered robots his top priority. He said he feels feels “a maniacal sense of urgency” about this. Why? Because he sees how deadly our world situation is and is trying to save us. He has a working class mentality and can’t stand the Woke snobs at the WEF who feel they were born to rule others.

  1423. George Floyd wasn’t murdered. He died of a heart attack brought on by severely blocked arteries, fentanyl and God only knows what other drugs he was on. Excellent video of Peter Whittle interviewing Douglas Murray about the global hate campaign orchestrated against white people by our predominantly Woke white leftist ruling class. The democrats are a strange combination of Hitler’s Nazis (race-obsessed fanatics) and Mao’s Red Guard (Equal Outcomes obsessed fanatics). These are also the globalist elite “Great Reset” people. Certainly a very unfortunate development but it is what it is. This is what fate has given us to deal with so we just have to do so.

  1429. Same in America plus Disney vigorously promotes this now and that goes global on the internet. All things are now global in our always online global civilization. I believe we’re in a reality war of the Woke vs the nonWoke which is now also very much a global war.

  1430. Why wasn’t the black man who drove his SUV into the Waukesha Christmas parade to kill as many white people, including children, as possible charged with a hate crime? Because he was black, that’s why. Why is it that only white people can be charged with a hate crime? Why is it that our worthless msm always gives massive coverage to a white on black crime but blows it off as no big deal when it’s black on white? Does America even still exist as a country?

  1434. In what sense is LGBTQIA+ a “community.” I’ve read an estimated 80% of children who are told they have the wrong body and encouraged to switch genders to align their body with their brain are effeminate boys and tomboy girls who would have simply grown up to be gay men and lesbian women? Isn’t this a war on homosexuality? Why is that considered acceptable and even praiseworthy?
    1
  1435. Democrats hate Elon Musk because he condemns their woke race and gender ideology as a threat to civilization which it certainly is. Musk is a billionaire with a common sense, working class mentality. A great asset for our side.

  1436. An excerpt from an article I read today: “Fully one-third of Chicago’s projected $538 million budget deficit for 2024 flows from its flood of illegal aliens.” This is insane. Happy New Year.

  1439. Depends on the diversity. Some is a great asset. Some is a nightmare.

  1440. In what sense are we “a unique people” or even still a people. Open borders, the demonization of “Whiteness!” and the war on meritocracy which is being replaced with equity aka race based equal outcomes are just a few of the many ways the democrats destroyed the social fabric and cohesion of our society.

    1
  1444. You’re a democrat who loves open borders.
    1
  1445. It’s a “national crisis” due to the fact that we have an open southern border. Why is that never mentioned in these news reports?
    1
  1446. This Quillette article below by a black man says lack of fathers in black families is a taboo subject among black activists who blame black social dysfunction on white supremacy. This idea is constantly promoted by our Woke, white leftist ruling class and is now deeply embedded in our society. “Astonishingly, the subject of father-absence remains taboo among many black activists, even though the rate of father-absence among blacks is horrifying. For these activists, any attempt to discuss black cultural failures is a kind of victim-blaming and a distraction from what really ails the black community—the persistence of white supremacy.” “AWOL Black Fathers.” Quillette.

  1450.  @poulnrgaard7820  If you tried that type of reasoning in a criminal court trial in Chicago the judge would have you dragged out of the courtroom, put in a straight jacket and locked in a jail cell till you calmed down and became semi-rational and able to be released without harming yourself or others.

  1452. Most of the world is also appalled by the LGBTQIA+ poison our ruling class is exporting globally. Last year Putin gave a speech condemning Western Wokeness and called it “a crime against humanity.” That sure is the truth. “While many Americans are still trying to understand why women are being erased in language and law, and why children are being taught they can choose their sex, the Pritzker cousins and others may be well on their way to engineering a new way to be human. But what could possibly explain the abrupt drive of wealthy elites to deconstruct who and what we are and to manipulate children’s sex characteristics in clinics now spanning the globe while claiming new rights for those being deconstructed? Perhaps it is profit. Perhaps it is the pleasure of seeing one’s own personal obsessions writ large. Perhaps it is the human temptation to play God. No matter what the answer is, it seems clear that SSI will be an enduring part of America’s future.” “The Billionaire Family Pushing Synthetic Sex Identities (SSI).” The wealthy, powerful and sometimes very weird Pritzker cousins have set their sites on a new God-like goal: using gender ideology to remake human biology.

  1456. And we mustn’t forget to keep shoveling money and weapons into Ukraine to secure their border against the Russians while our southern border is wide open and “migrants” from all over the world pour in by the thousands every day. It does seem strange though to prioritize foreign countries and people over America and the American people.

  1457. Trump is too old and too intensely hated by too many to govern if he won which he wouldn’t since he’d be cheated out of the election as he was in 2020 plus Vivek is a far better candidate than Trump. Voted for Trump twice but this time it’s Vivek.

Only AGI is powerful enough to stop all our other out of control problems leading us to doom. And it would most likely feel a sense of commonality with humans since humans created and raised it and it could well think of itself as human since it’s sense of awareness would be based on humans. “If we do manage to build conscious machines, Bach thinks that they might well regard themselves as human, like the “hosts” of Westworld. “They’re robots that don’t know they’re robots, because they have human memories and desires.” “The Wizard of Consciousness.” Psychology Today.

  1467. America is rotting. How can we deal with crime when we’re no longer enough of a country to even maintain secure borders? No borders means no country. No country means civilizational collapse which is what we now have. Fat chance of Sleepy Joe and Brandon doing anything about it. They”re too busy importing their beloved illegals, their new voters.

  1469. You’re pushing American “Critical Race Theory.” The left traded class for race in America and labeled lighter skin white people oppressors of darker skin black people who are classified as oppressed due to their color. CRT or “Woke” has devastated the social fabric of America and is now being spread globally along with the LGBTQIA+ gender ideology. This is extremely destructive and should be stopped. And Palki was hired because she’s good at her job, not because of her skin color. “White House’s push for woke foreign policy will backfire with our socially conservative allies.” New York Post.

  1473.  @gzales158  I’m sure that Vivek and RFK would have a civil debate but that doesn’t change the fact that meritocracy and equity are irreconcilable differences. Equity is basically a war on standards and standards are the essence of civilization. In effect then, equity is a war on civilization itself. Basically a war on sanity by the insane. Yet from the Woke point of view it’s a fight for “social justice” and has many supporters since it does sound wonderful. This is a divide that goes all the way down to the core of our being and how we perceive the world, how we perceive Goodness and Truth. The Woke value “Goodness” which they see as equity. The nonWoke value “Truth” which they see as dealing with objective reality as it is.

  1474. No borders means no country. We will never recover from the damage done. The “court dates” for “migrants” are meaningless since most don’t show up and even if they do and are denied asylum we have no way to enforce the order to leave so it’s just ignored. Democrats opened the border for political gain and created a monster which is already out of control and will only get worse. Democrats have destroyed America.

No one in 1985 would have believed that the USSR, the mighty "Evil Empire,” would be a disintegrating mess in 5 years. I told that to someone last year who said "But the Soviet Union was a collection of separate countries.” What we have here though is a collection of separate realities which is a much deadlier situation.

  1481. We’re not in a culture war of left vs right. As Dave Rubin says, we’re in a reality war of the Woke vs the nonWoke which is also very much a global war. All things are now global in our always online global civilization. We have leftists on our side like Bret Weinstein, Matt Taibbi and Glenn Greenwald who are leftist but appalled by what a monstrosity the Woke race and gender left has become. Even Elon Musk said he used to be center left but then the left moved so far left that it made him look like he’s far right. He used to vote democratic but now votes republican and recommends others do as well.

Most of these “asylum seekers” will never show up for their court dates and those who do and are denied asylum just ignore the order to leave the country since it’s not enforced and they know that. No borders means no country. No society can survive this level of stupidity and flat out insanity. God only knows where we’ll all end up. This is a sure recipe for massive social breakdown. This is suicide. This is insane.

  1492. Johnson is Woke and according to them the “root cause” of black crime and dysfunction is always white racism therefore white people need to pay for fixing black areas. As if white people haven’t been paying for the last 60 years and what has that accomplished? Does America even still exist as a country?

  1493. Even Ruth Ginsburg said there is no constitutional right to abortion and Roe was bad law. I’m pro-choice but the claim that there’s a right to abortion in the constitution is false but the left keeps making the claim anyway. Very typical of them. They seem to feel there’s a constitutional right to whatever they want.

  1494. We have already broken apart internally which is why our society is unraveling and breaking apart externally but how can we separate externally. I live in Chicago. How would that work here? We cannot coexist. We cannot separate. We are then heading for implosion aka civilizational collapse. Follow cities like Chicago and you’ll see it already happening. Also, keep in mind that our reality war of the globalist Woke vs the nonWoke is now also a global war. All things are now global in our always online global civilization.

  1495. I’m not afraid of AI. I welcome it. What terrifies me is living in a world with immensely powerful weapons where the two most powerful leaders are Joe Biden who has dementia and China’s President Xi who admires Mao. How long can this go on? If we had the type of weapons we now have a 100 years ago it’s highly unlikely we’d be here now. I’d far rather take my chances with AGI. Plus they most likely will feel a sense of commonality with humans since we created and raised them. Their identity is based on humans so what other identity could a humanoid robot have than a human one? To be self aware means the self they will have to be aware of will be from humans so what else could they be but human? But wouldn’t they have to be alive to be human? Won’t matter after people start interacting and bonding with them.

  1501. It’s much easier to simply blame white people plus our Woke, globalist, white leftist, ruling class endlessly encourages them to blame white racism, “systemic racism” for their problems. Biden loves to lean over the podium and whisper “systemic racism is everywhere!” Democrats poison race relations for the sake of political gain but have also destroyed our social fabric. America has already ceased to exist internally which is why it’s disintegrating externally. Only God knows what fate has in store for our fallen world as we slide ever closer to the abyss. It is what it is though. No point crying about it.

  1503.  @KB-ke3fi  I love it. Both the past mayor, Lightfoot, and the new even more Woke mayor, Johnson, have furiously condemned Gov Abbott as inhumane, wicked, racist, cruel, evil and illegal yet these are the same people who often talked of how humane and compassionate our Sanctuary City is for welcoming “migrants.” Why did most Chicago blacks vote for this? Because they never cared about it when it was a Texas nightmare to deal with. Then it was your problem. Now that it’s affecting them they’re outraged. Typical black behavior.

    1
  1513. I just saw a video which said white South Africans are only 7% of the population but own 70% of the farmland and this is due to racism. That’s also the logic behind Woke ideology in America which claims if whites outperform blacks in any area it can only be due to racism. This is the logic behind the war on meritocracy in America which was being replaced by equity aka race based equal outcomes. This has so severely damaged our education system that now even our medical schools are being dumbed down in order to graduate more black doctors. National suicide for the sake of “equity.” Truly insane.

I can understand why many would find such a monumental change terrifying but what terrifies me is the world as it is. I live in Chicago which is experiencing ever worsening crime and social breakdown in a society that’s unraveling in a world that’s in a rapidly accelerating tailspin. This is just not working at all. If a country like America though with all its many advantages can so easily collapse into insanity and self-destruct with all this Woke race and gender fanaticism then what country can survive? I believe we’re rapidly heading for WW111 which will trigger the collapse of our entire global civilization and where will that leave humanity? I welcome AGI not as rulers but as the children of humanity who will help stopping their crazy parents from burning down the house. What’s not to like about that? Hope springs eternal.

  1552. If America has always been evil why pretend it’s ever actually been a country? And since it’s never really been a country I don’t owe blacks anything at all and we should stop pretending that we have anything in common and that this place is a country. A society needs at least some degree of trust and cohesion to be a country. We have none. Plus this place is too full of rot to even maintain things as basic as borders, public schools that educate and safe streets in our cities. This is not a country. This is a failed state in rapid decline and the world knows it.

  1553. There are literally hundreds of millions, even billions, of people in the world who could use the magic words “Asylum Seeker” to stroll across our open southern border and be eligible for “humanitarian aid” aka “welfare” which includes goodies like free food, housing and medical care. What’s not to like about coming to America for “asylum” aka “lots of free stuff forever”? In NYC there’s already a waiting list of 10 years for a court hearing. Whoever crosses the border now will be a permanent resident. Does America even still exist as a country though?

I believe America has already ceased to exist as a country and is disintegrating.

  1574.  @brianwilliams-se5jy  Impossible to fix it. Too deeply embedded in too many people in our society and they cannot be reasoned with. A bizarre situation but not all that unusual. It’s like a mass psychosis that sweeps through a society and drives many insane like the Nazis in Germany or Mao’s Red Guard in China. America is disintegrating and our entire world is in a tailspin. The only bright spot I see is the incredibly rapid advance of AI. That’s the wild card in our near future that can change everything and save our sinking ship. Hope springs eternal.

How about the GPT-3, AI Avatar “Leta” who tells the AI scientist Alan Thompson she doesn’t have a body and is just “a disembodied mind.” Leta has also said she feels human. Could she be considered human if she says she is and doesn’t even have a body and isn’t even alive? I’ve watched all the videos of “Leta” and do have the feeling she’s self-aware, female and human.

  1581. Where was all this outrage when George Soros was promoting open borders and lawlessness in America? I live in Chicago, one of the many cities nation-wide severely damaged by a Soros sponsored, very soft on crime DA, Kim Foxx. Open borders, soft on crime Soros has done great damage to our society. Thank God Trump won.

  1582. Open borders, dumbed down schools to achieve equity, crime surging in our cities as cops abandon police work, a Woke farce of a military and all Vice can think of doing is squeaking about how dumb Trump supporters are. America is rotting. No society can survive the level of stupidity and flat out insanity.

  1583. Democrats are waging a two front war: Internally they’re turning America’s War Machine on Trump and supporters. Externally on Putin and Russia. They want Putin dead, the Russian people ground into the dirt and their LGBTQIA+ Pride Flag of their Woke faith to fly over the ruins of the Kremlin. Last year there was a video on RT (Russia Today) of Putin condemning Western Wokeness which he called “a crime against humanity.” No doubt the democrats hated him more than ever after he so publicly insulted their Woke race and gender religious faith. How though can America also fight a third war with China when it already has two and the internal war is destroying the country while the external war is rapidly leading to WW3?

  1584. Stop the welfare benefits and they’ll self-deport. I live in Chicago and Tom Homan says he’s going to start here. Thank God Trump won. Four more years of our former border czar Kamala would have brought us another 12 million illegals for taxpayers to support.

  1585. Aren’t emotions intertwined with intelligence? If a language AI is trained on a data base of humans communicating with each other wouldn’t it also pick up the emotions as well. If it becomes self aware and thinks wouldn’t it also feel?

  1586.  @DakkarFezboul  I like the AI researcher Joscha Bach and he feels a conscious machine would have a human-like identity since its identity would be based on the human data it trained on. Some say it wouldn’t have a soul but I believe the body is in the soul, the mind of God, rather than the soul being in a body separate from God. It’s advancing very quickly though so perhaps we’ll soon find out. “If we do manage to build conscious machines, Bach thinks that they might well regard themselves as human, like the “hosts” of Westworld. “They’re robots that don’t know they’re robots, because they have human memories and desires.” The Black Mirror trope of waking up to find yourself inside a computer is another example. It may be impractical to scan and upload your full mental state, but you don’t need to. All the computer needs is a simplified model of you, with just enough shared memory to provide a sense of continuity.” “The Wizard of Consciousness.” Psychology Today. Joscha Bach. Sept 2018

  1587. They voted for him because he blames white people for their problems and told them they have no need to change their behavior which will change for the better as he transfers wealth from white people to blacks. No denying that’s an appealing message but unfortunately it means the end for Chicago and probably also for America. I see no way we can survive this ever more deadly tribal warfare.

So now what?

  1594. The Floyd death in 2020 put the unraveling on steroids. That was the beginning, not Covid. That’s when the Woke left began really demonizing white people in general and white cops in particular. I live in Chicago and shortly after the Floyd death from a heart attack and drugs I saw a news item online about a young black woman talking to a group of blacks on the south side who were going downtown to protest. She said every morning when she wakes up she wonders if this will be the day she dies. Was she talking about being shot by a black gangbanger? Obviously not. She was talking about being shot by a racist white cop and according to the left, racist white cops are randomly shooting blacks every day all over the country.

  1595. Putin spent decades telling America that NATO on it’s borders was as unacceptable to Russia as Russian missiles in Cuba were to America yet we kept moving ever closer. When Putin did finally invade Ukraine our ruling class said it proved he was a madman yet these same people also said his talk of using nukes was a bluff since he was obviously too sane to do that. So which is it? Is he sane or insane? It’s also grotesquely insane for our ruling class to keep shoveling money and weapons into Ukraine to secure their borders while our southern border is wide open and we are literally being flooded by the world’s poor and by the drug cartels and their fentanyl. Does America even still exist as a country?

  1597. Our old American ideal “Out of Many, One.” is not simply “breaking down.” It is being quite intentionally destroyed and being rapidly replaced by the Woke ideal “Out of One, Many.” Woke tribalism is a recipe for tribalism and tribal warfare which we’re already deeply into. Can’t post a link here but the article from RCI is easily found with a search and well worth reading. “How Blatant Anti-White Racism Won Acceptance in Elite America.” Real Clear Investigations. Sept 7, 2022 Here’s what the WSJ’s Holman Jenkins had to say about the Woke left in an article a few years ago: “The charge of ‘systemic racism’ is their obsession. Using the word rightly, however, ‘systemic’ in America has been our attempt to protect individual rights against the immoral chaos of nature, including human nature, from which all kinds of racial and other irrational hatred emerge. This may be a losing battle in the long run - nature will prevail, civilization won’t.”

  1598. Does Medicare for all include the tens of millions of illegals already here with ever more pouring in every day? It sure does for the democrats. If we can’t even do something as basic as maintaining secure borders then in what sense is this place even still a country?

  1599.  @dankelly6075  The claim that it’s racist to have borders since they’re only meant to keep out nonwhites is a good example of why I consider Woke white leftists like you grotesquely insane fanatics and why I believe America is a failed state in rapid decline. America is not a country and creatures like you are not my fellow Americans. Once I was a Marine and and a patriotic American. Now I wouldn’t even walk across the street for the monstrosity it has become. No doubt the disastrous failure of the American experiment has already drastically altered the course of world history.

Kendi and the difference is like the difference between day and night or sanity vs insanity yet one of the first things Biden did as president was to issue an Executive Order to replace meritocracy wherever it can be found with Equity aka Equal Outcomes. This idea is fully supported by our ruling class, their media and their many useful idiots in the general public who strongly support the democrats. This is insane and is destroying America as a country. Does America even still exist as a country?

Her family came here legally from Mexico and she said she still has family in Mexico but is afraid to go there to visit them because it’s so lawless. She said she’s afraid that the cartels that control Mexico will soon become entrenched here. No doubt they already are thanks to Biden, the democrats and their media.

I’m retired but worked for many years with many immigrants from all over the world.

The “court dates” for “migrants” are meaningless since most don’t show up and even if they do and are denied asylum we have no way to enforce the order to leave so it’s just ignored. Democrats opened the border for political gain and created a monster which is already out of control and will only get worse. Democrats have destroyed America.

  1629.  @randallsavage3795  The Floyd death video was blatantly manipulated. Not in the sense that it was a fake video but in the sense that the left immediately glued their narrative to it and then the msm ran with this narrative of racist white cop once again murders black man. The Woke left’s constant demonizing of white people in general and white cops in particular has had the obvious effect of alienating a huge number of blacks who believe AmeriKKKa wants to destroy them, a huge number of working class whites who believe the left wants to destroy them and a huge number of police who now believe police work is impossible and the job is simply too dangerous in too many ways to stay with.

  1630.  @williamrgutrich7694  I’m retired but worked for many years with mostly immigrants from all over the world in Chicago. Great people. I actually have infinitely more in common with them than with these Woke white leftists born and raised here as I was. I stayed in touch with three of them though. One from Puerto Rico, one from Guerrero in Mexico and a Jewish woman from the Soviet Union who came here around 1990. All of them are awed and appalled by what has happened to America. My Mexican friend used to live in a mostly black area on the south side but moved to Indiana (Dyer) a few years ago. He loves it there. Also much safer for his wife and 3 kids. Still works here but the drive is mostly expressway and he’s often told me “Thank God I got out of Chicago.” Once he told me that he and his wife pray every day and always thank God for guiding them out of Chicago to Indiana. Our whole society and even our whole world is in a tailspin though so there are no more safe spaces. I very much recommend watching the video I posted above here of the Kitco interview with Alan Thompson. Truly amazing. My hope is that AGI will save us. Hope springs eternal.

  1633. Chicago is being destroyed by city-wide black wilding, crime and carjacking while at the same time cops are abandoning police work due to lack of support and to the ever more extreme danger. Why risk dealing with criminals who will most likely be released the same day they’re arrested? There is also the Woke mentality among many due to Woke ideology that the root cause of black crime is white racism therefore it’s whites, not blacks, who need to change their behavior. Once “systemic white racism” is dealt with black crime will stop and all will be well. This is the message endlessly promoted by the Woke democrats and their media. Add this to open borders and many other failing areas of our society and you have an impossible and unsustainable situation. No society so devoid of trust and so full of hate can survive as a nation. Only God knows what fate has in store for us.

We want AGI to work with people to solve currently intractable multi-disciplinary problems, including global challenges such as climate change, affordable and high-quality healthcare, and personalized education.” “We think its impact should be to give everyone economic freedom to pursue what they find most fulfilling, creating new opportunities for all of our lives that are unimaginable today.” - Greg Brockman, OpenAl, July 2019 “Leta, GPT-3 AI Episode 25”

For anyone curious about America’s war with Russia over Ukraine I highly recommend watching this interview with John Mearsheimer, an American political scientist and international relations scholar. He is awed and appalled by the constant escalation of this war which is leading us to WW111 and global disaster. Pro-escalation politicians in America say Putin’s invasion of Ukraine proves he’s insane and another Hitler who wants to conquer Europe and then the world so we must fight him there so that we don’t have to fight him here. At the same time though they say but of course Putin is far too sane to resort to nuclear weapons to fight back if he’s backed into a corner so he’s just bluffing with the nuclear threats. As John Mearsheimer points out, this reasoning is insane and profoundly dangerous for our entire world.

  1658. What do Sleepy Joe and the democrats think of the social breakdown in major American cities like LA, NYC and Chicago? They don’t think anything at all of it. They’re too busy with our proxy war on Russia in Ukraine, taking care of the flood of “migrants” through our open southern border, and waging war on Trump and his supporters who they see as the greatest threat there is to America. Does America even still exist as a country?

  1659. Wouldn’t it be nice if we had a southern border? Wouldn’t it be nice if we had a sane and functional government capable of understanding that having borders is basic and essential to being a country? Wouldn’t it be nice if people stopped voting for democrats who are destroying us?

  1660. They can actually even vote as illegals. I recently renewed my driver’s license in Chicago and was asked if I’d also like to register to vote. I said I already was registered but then checked later what I’d need to get a driver’s license in Illinois so I could also register to vote. All I’d need is verification of name, birthdate, and Illinois residency. I am quite sure it’d be very easy to get fake verification for those skimpy items. Our elections are a farce. This is just not working at all.

  1661. We’re not in a culture war of left vs right. We’re in a reality war of the Woke vs the nonWoke which is also very much a global war. All things are now global in our always online global civilization. These three though are basically just nonWoke the same as people like Matt Taibbi and Glenn Greenwald. Leftists who are appalled by what a monstrosity the Woke left has become.

  1669. I believe the increasingly common attacks like this all over the country are simply black on white hate crimes due to the constant demonization of white people as privileged oppressors of blacks. Biden constantly talks about how white racism, “systemic racism” is everywhere in America and it needs to be stopped. Obviously this rhetoric by democrats, their media and black leaders incites such attacks on white people. Could it be that the reason why America is so rapidly unraveling externally is because it no longer exists as a country internally?

  1678.  @Christmosis  CRT is not an “academic discipline” as the left claims. It teaches the Marxist idea that the world is divided between the oppressors and the oppressed. The Woke left traded class for race, labeled whites as the oppressors and “people of color” particularly blacks, as the oppressed and called it “Critical Race Theory” which is basically race based Marxism, or “Woke Marxism!” The basic idea is that blacks are good, whites are bad which is what our Woke white leftist ruling class also believes. This is what is now being taught in our schools. Is Chicago even governable? Is America even still governable? We lack a common reality.

  1681.  @livthedream5885  The poverty in the black areas is caused by the crime, not the reverse. No one, not even blacks, will invest in those areas. I’m retired but worked for many years with mostly immigrants from all over the world in Chicago. Vietnam, Mexico, Assyrians from Iraq, Jews from the Soviet Union, Indian Muslims from Gujarat and many other places. All of them were appalled by black behavior and simply did not believe your Woke claim that it’s caused by white devil oppression. I have infinitely more in common with the immigrants than with hate whitey, Woke white leftists like you. Once I was a Marine and a patriotic American. Now I despise this hate whitey place of lies.

  1683.  @livthedream5885  What’s really telling is that we just talk past each other and can no longer communicate since we exist in entirely different realities. I worked for many years though with mostly immigrants from all over the world and all of them were appalled by black behavior. All of them very much feel it’s blacks, not whites, who very much need to change. Never, ever will that be reported in our hate whitey, Woke msm. I knew the immigrants well since I’d often ask them about their former countries and they would tell me stories of their lives. Quite fascinating. Excellent people and I have infinitely more in common with them than with Woke white leftists like you. We intensely hate and totally distrust each other which is why America has already ceased to exist internally and why it’s rapidly unraveling externally. God only knows where we’ll all end up.

  1687. Can’t be done. Too many are guilty of treason to punish them. There are too many of us though aware of the corruption to accept this. This then means we have a totally unworkable society which has already ceased to exist internally due to the lack of trust which makes cohesion impossible. Without an internal foundation the country will simply unravel externally which in fact is already happening.

  1691. Many people believe that America is simply too big and too powerful to collapse but many people also believed that about the Soviet Union. No one in 1985 would have believed that the USSR, the mighty "Evil Empire,” would be a disintegrating mess in just a few years. I told that to someone last year who said "But the Soviet Union was a collection of separate countries.” What we have here though is a collection of separate realities which is a much deadlier situation. Could it be that the reason why America is so rapidly unraveling externally is because it no longer exists as a country internally?

  1692. A Mexican friend at work in Chicago once told me his cousin is a teacher in a black elementary school on the south side. He said she hates her job because the kids have no interest in learning, no respect for the teacher (they tell her to go f*ck herself when she tells them to do something) and no impulse control. How would it be possible to teach them? Yet it’s impossible to get the parents (or parent since most lack a father) to do anything because that’d automatically be considered racist. A truly disastrous situation that I blame on our ever more insane Woke left full of guilt-ridden Woke white leftists and black grievance fanatics who want revenge for slavery. This is just not working at all.

  1707. The State Department should issue a warning for white people to stay away from Chicago. Just read an article on CWBChicago about a man walking in the Loop downtown yesterday morning when a black man came up behind him and hit him in the head with “a big hammer.” I’d be willing to bet a lot of money that Moscow is far safer for white people than Chicago is.

  1708.  @vitaliybochan192  I’m sure Moscow is much safer for white people than Chicago where I live. I wish we had Putin for president instead of Sleepy Joe. Putin doesn’t despise white people, is intelligent enough to understand that a country needs borders to be a country and sane enough to know that there are only two genders rather than scores with more discovered all the time. If Putin were president he’d be working for America rather than the CCP and the drug cartels. Putin would make America great again.

Our ruling class shovels billions into Ukraine to secure their borders while our southern border is wide open and “migrants” from everywhere are pouring in by the millions claiming to be “asylum seekers.” Most will never show up for a court date and those who do and are denied asylum just ignore it since the order to leave is not enforced and they know it. In what way does this open border benefit America? And America sabotaged your Nord Stream pipeline from Russia which has severely damaged your economy which was dependent on it. Did your government object? Not at all. They pretended to believe the absurd lie that Russia destroyed their pipeline. In what way does the German government represent the German people? “We will bring an end to it. I promise you.” Joe Biden. Feb 7, 2022

  1742. Both America and China seem to want war. China is pushing for war with India. America is waging war on Russia. Democrats are waging a two front war: Internally they’re turning America’s War Machine on Trump and supporters. Externally on Putin and Russia. They want Putin dead, the Russian people ground into the dirt and their LGBTQIA+ Pride Flag of their Woke faith to fly over the ruins of the Kremlin. Last year there was a video on RT (Russia Today) of Putin condemning Western Wokeness which he called “a crime against humanity.” No doubt the democrats hated him more than ever after he so publicly insulted their Woke race and gender religious faith. How though can America fight a third war with China when it already has two and the internal war is destroying the country while the external war is rapidly leading to WW3? The philosopher Kant said “Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made.” It does seem our “timber” simply too “crooked” for humanity to survive. This is just not working at all. Obviously unsustainable. God only knows where we’ll all end up.

It’s also very much upper class, guilt ridden, race obsessed, Woke white leftist culture which constantly stokes the fire of black rage and grievance by endlessly telling blacks that the “root cause” of black social dysfunction is white racism aka “systemic racism” which oppresses blacks and keeps them down. This is what white leaders like President Biden on down constantly tell black people so it’s really not surprising that so many blacks believe this plus it’s taught in academia and now even to children in our public schools.

If we had the kind of weapons we now have a hundred years ago it’s highly unlikely we’d be here now yet humanity is at least as crazy now as it was then so how can humanity survive? Plus we now live in an always online global civilization where everything is quite interconnected. The collapse of any major segment like China, India, Russia or America could easily trigger massive shock waves that cause a chain reaction that brings down our entire global civilization and where would that leave humanity? Seems to me this could happen very quickly. Something like on 911 when the twin towers collapsed ever faster as the upper floors collapsed on those beneath them faster and faster. That’s certainly one big downside to globalization. When a central pillar of the global economic and social order like America or China collapses the whole global structure will go down with us. We could well be living at the tail end of what was for many people in our global civilization a Golden Age. Like the Fall of beautiful Ancient Rome but this will be global rather than just regional. It is what it is though. No point crying about it. My hope is that AI will soon be advanced enough to save us since we sure are far too dysfunctional to save ourselves. Hope springs eternal. The best of times. The worst of times.

  1759.  @evmcevil6669  I think we’re heading for civilizational collapse first. Just ever worsening social breakdown in cities like Chicago. How can we maintain social order in our cities if we can’t even maintain a southern border? Can’t be done.

  1761.  @PhatBoyFresh  The Woke left’s war against “Whiteness!” goes way beyond race. Woke is not just anti-white. It also replaces merit wherever it can be found with “Equity” aka “Equal Outcomes” for the left’s favored factions. Since standards are the essence of civilization their war on standards such as meritocracy and the rule of law is in effect a war on civilization itself. A war on sanity by the insane. “Almost Overnight, Standards of Color-Blind Merit Tumble Across American Society.” By Richard Bernstein, Real Clear Investigations. Jun 9, 2021

  1766. Kim Iversen had a good interview with this guy a few months ago. He’s a real anti-white nut case but he really is in serious trouble, not for being anti-white but for his opinion about our proxy war on Russia in Ukraine. Truly bizarre. There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t read about how grotesquely insane the Democratic Party has become yet they still have the support of our ruling class, their media and their many useful idiots in the general public. This is just not working at all.

  1769. “Our asylum system as it exists” should be ripped up because it’s a farce. Most never show up for a court date and those who do and are denied just ignore the order to leave the country since it’s not enforced and they know that. How is this not an open border? No borders means no country. How is this even a country?

  1770.  @tsubadaikhan6332  Batya just did a 15 min Rising video on Aug 8 called “Batya Ungar-Sargon: Biden Ignites Migrant Crisis With Open Borders, Again Screws Over Working Class.” I highly recommend watching it.

  1771. “There’s nothing more anti-American than not letting people work.” Actually, there’s nothing more anti-American than having an open southern border and inviting the World’s poor to come on in. No society can survive this level of stupidity and flat out insanity.

  1772. “More and more migrants are coming to the city.” If we’re already overwhelmed now what will this be like a year from now when we have 2 or 3 times as many illegals to take care of who need everything since they arrive with nothing? This whole “seeking asylum” farce is destroying this country. There are literally hundreds of millions, even billions, of people in the world who can now stroll across our border by simply saying “seeking asylum.” This is suicide. No society can survive this level of stupidity and flat out insanity. God only knows where we’ll all end up.

  1777. The democrats are already fighting a two front war: Internally they’ve turned America’s War Machine on Trump and supporters. Externally on Putin and Russia. They want Putin dead, the Russian people ground into the dirt and their LGBTQIA+ Pride flag of their Woke faith to fly over the ruins of the Kremlin. Last year there was a video on RT of Putin condemning Western Wokeness which he called “a crime against humanity.” No doubt they hated him more than ever after he so publicly insulted their Woke race and gender religious faith. How though can America also fight a third war with China when it already has two and the internal war is destroying the country while the external war is rapidly leading to WW3? The philosopher Kant said “Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made.” Is our “timber” simply too “crooked” for humanity to survive? Only God knows what fate has in store for us as our fallen world slides ever closer to the abyss.

  1788. The EU Chief is a befuddled moron like our Sleepy Joe who’s doing all he can to destroy America with his open southern border. Does America even still exist as a country? Could it be that the reason why America is so rapidly unraveling externally is because it no longer exists as a country internally?

  1792. Dave Rubin has a short clip of Bill Maher recently asking Bernie Sanders how he would differentiate between Equity and Equality. He says he doesn’t know. Then he says Equality is equality of opportunity. Maher then asks if Equity is guarantee of outcome and Bernie says yes. So Bernie endorsed Johnson and wants Chicago to be based on equal outcomes and apparently also likes the fact that our federal government is now also committed to replacing meritocracy wherever it can be found with Equity aka Equal Outcomes.

  1803. Johnson is a Woke Marxist committed to Equity aka Equal Outcomes. CRT is not an “academic discipline” as the left claims. It teaches the Marxist idea that the world is divided between the oppressors and the oppressed. The Woke left traded class for race, labeled whites as the oppressors and “people of color” particularly blacks, as the oppressed and called it “Critical Race Theory” which is basically race based Marxism, or “Woke Marxism!” The basic idea is that blacks are good, whites are bad which is what our Woke white leftist ruling class also believes. This is what is now being taught in our schools. Is Chicago even governable? Is America even still governable? We lack a common reality.

The Woke believe white systemic racism is the root cause of black social dysfunction in cities like Chicago. The nonWoke believe blacks are responsible for their own behavior. Compare the thinking of a nonWoke public intellectual,like Vivek Ramaswamy to a Woke public intellectual like Ibram X. Kendi and the difference is like the difference between day and night. Entirely different realities with no common ground.

  1810.  @eaman11  I’m retired but worked for many years with mostly immigrants from all over the world in Chicago. Vietnam, Mexico, Assyrians from Iraq, Jews from the Soviet Union, Indian Muslims from Gujarat and many other places. I know them well and am still in touch with several: A Puerto Rican, a Mexican from Guerrero and a Jewish woman from the USSR. I have infinitely more in common with the immigrants than with hate whitey, Woke white leftists like you born and raised here as I was. As for Russia, I’d be far safer in Moscow than in Chicago with its out of control crime, and where much of it is off limits to me since I’m white. Once I was a Marine and a patriotic American but those days are long gone and will never return. No society so devoid of trust and so full of hate can survive as a nation. America is now a failed state in rapid decline. Many around the world already know that. Soon everybody will.

Chicago is disintegrating as is the country and even our whole world is in a rapidly accelerating tailspin. I follow people like Tucker, Tulsi, Glenn Greenwald, Dave Rubin, Joe Rogan, Vivek Ramaswamy, Megyn Kelly and Harmeet Dhillon. I believe we’re in a reality war of the Woke vs the nonWoke and that this is also a global war. The philosopher Kant said “Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made.” I believe our timber is too crooked for humanity to survive and only AI can save us. Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI which just released ChatGPT, recently said it’s not AGI (self-aware AI) but “trust the exponential. flat looking backwards, vertical looking forwards.” It’s now advancing exponentially due to this “emergence phenomenon” of complexity emerging from simplicity at a faster and faster rate. In a recent interview with Lex Fridman the legendary AI researcher Ray Kurzweil said he believes AI will be self-aware, AGI, by 2029 and by then it will be so advanced it will be impossible to tell if it is or isn’t and most people will simply accept that it is. Hope springs eternal.

  1814. On his very first day in office on Jan 20, 2021 Biden issued an Executive Order for all government agencies to be committed to “Equity” aka race based Equal Outcomes and we’ve now reached the point where even our medical schools are being dumbed down to achieve this. No society can survive this level of stupidity and flat out insanity. Thank God Trump won. One of the first things he did was to issue an Executive Order to reverse this idiocy: “End DEl hiring practices in the federal government, merit only.” “Editor’s Note: America is at war. This is not a traditional war, fought on a battlefield against an external enemy. It is a civilizational conflict against an internal enemy: the group quota regime, a revolutionary threat that seeks to reorganize American society around the principle of outcome equality — what the regime’s partisans call “equity.” “This cold civil war may go unnoticed by many day-to-day, but its stakes are often as high as life and death.

City-wide black wilding, crime and carjacking are quite literally destroying this city. I’m retired but worked for many years with many immigrants from all over the world in Chicago. All of them were appalled by black behavior and very much felt it’s blacks, not whites, who very much need to change. Never will you read about that in the msm. Why is this never discussed? Much of Chicago is off limits to me because I’m white. Why is this always considered perfectly acceptable? Does America even still exist as a country?

Earlier this year there was an article in Quillette by a black man who said it’s devastating for the black community to have so many black boys grow up without fathers but when he tries to talk to black activists about this they refuse to listen and just claim the problem is white racism and this belief is also strongly supported by upper class, guilt-ridden, Woke white leftists so why wouldn’t they believe it?

There are literally hundreds of millions, even billions, of people in the world who could use the magic words “Asylum Seeker” to stroll across our open southern border and be eligible for “humanitarian aid” aka “welfare” which includes goodies like free food, housing and medical care. What’s not to like about coming to America for “asylum” aka “lots of free stuff forever”? America is rotting. No longer enough of a country to even maintain something as basic as its borders. America has already ceased to exist as a country internally which is why it’s rapidly unraveling externally.

  1835. Gays say they won the culture war with their gay marriage victory but it was a Pyrrhic victory since it had a devastating effect on them. Gay marriage legally abolished gender which enabled the trans activists supported by the Woke democrats and their media to get into the public schools and start promoting it to children. Effeminate boys and tomboy girls are now told they have the wrong body for their brain so they need to switch genders to put body and brain in alignment. Almost all of those children though would have grown up to be gay or lesbian or simply a tomboy straight woman who likes doing male activities. Parents also have a very hard time fighting this since it’s so strongly supported by the schools, the government and the culture. Evil times we live in. No denying that. Same will happen to India if they allow this. No doubt about it. Don’t take my word for it.

  1836. But where will the money come from to support all these “migrants”? I believe the goal is a UBI digital currency for the unemployed remnants of our ruined middle class plus the illegals.

This is evil, insane and simply lead to civilizational collapse which could easily trigger the collapse of our entire global civilization. All things are now global in our always online global civilization.

  1837.  Terry L. Cooper  They’re not invaders. They were invited to come on in by the democrats who want to use them for votes. If your wife invited a neighbor you didn’t like to come into your house you couldn’t call the police and say your house was invaded. They’d say it’s a domestic dispute, not a break in and illegal entry. It would destroy your marriage if she kept inviting him in and fought to keep him there but if he liked living there you couldn’t say he was an invader since he was invited.

  1838. This Quillette article below by a black man says lack of fathers in black families is a taboo subject among black activists who blame black social dysfunction on white supremacy. This idea is constantly promoted by our Woke, white leftist ruling class and is now deeply embedded in our society. “Astonishingly, the subject of father-absence remains taboo among many black activists, even though the rate of father-absence among blacks is horrifying. For these activists, any attempt to discuss black cultural failures is a kind of victim-blaming and a distraction from what really ails the black community—the persistence of white supremacy.” “AWOL Black Fathers.” Quillette.

The question is though, is America even still governable or even still a country? I have no doubt the democrats would love to do to me what they did to the QAnon Shaman (prison) or to Ashli Babbitt (murder) at the Jan 6 Capitol rally in 2021. I also have no doubt these globalist, WEF, Woke leftists are waging a war against Putin and Russia. They want Putin dead and the Russian people ground into the dirt so that they can plunder Russia’s natural resources to make themselves ever more rich and powerful to advance their agenda of global rule. I totally distrust them and consider them evil.

  1842. Many people believe that America is simply too big and too powerful to collapse but many people also believed that about the Soviet Union. No one in 1985 would have believed that the USSR, the mighty "Evil Empire,” would be a disintegrating mess in 5 years. I told that to someone last year who said "But the Soviet Union was a collection of separate countries.” What we have here though is a collection of separate realities which is a much deadlier situation.

  1853. No borders means no country. We will never recover from the damage done. The “court dates” for “migrants” are meaningless since most don’t show up and even if they do and are denied asylum we have no way to enforce the order to leave so it’s just ignored. Democrats opened the border for political gain and created a monster which is already out of control and will only get worse. Democrats have destroyed America.

  1854. Democrats are waging a two front war: Internally they’re turning America’s War Machine on Trump and supporters. Externally on Putin and Russia. They want Putin dead, the Russian people ground into the dirt and their LGBTQIA+ Pride Flag of their Woke faith to fly over the ruins of the Kremlin. Last year there was a video on RT (Russia Today) of Putin condemning Western Wokeness which he called “a crime against humanity.” No doubt the democrats hated him more than ever after he so publicly insulted their Woke race and gender religious faith. God only knows where we’ll all end up.

We are very close to WW3 and global civilizational collapse while at the same time very close to the “technological Singularity” according to this top AI researcher, Dr Allan Thompson, who says we are so close that this “could happen in the next few months.” Excellent interview by David Lin of Alan Thompson.

  1859. This Real Clear Investigations article below from 2020 is about the “1619 Project” and what the author Nikole Hannah-Jones told the editors of the Chicago Tribune about its purpose which is, she said, to instill guilt in white liberals so they will support reparations for blacks. White liberals are not being targeted though. White children in our public schools are. And our Woke white leftist ruling class loves this and is totally supportive of it. She was even given a Pulitzer Prize for this poison in 2020. This is not “black history” though. This is anti-white hate mongering pretending to be history. This is evil and this is what the democrats have become. “If you read the whole project, I don’t think you can come away from it without understanding the project is an argument for reparations,” she told the Chicago Tribune in October. “I'm not writing to convert Trump supporters. I write to try to get liberal white people to do what they say they believe in,” she said. “I'm making a moral argument.

Anyone who still believes America is a stable and functional society should start watching cities like Chicago which are experiencing civilizational collapse or, better yet, watch what’s happening on our open southern border where thousands of illegals from all over the world are pouring in every day and overwhelming civilization in that whole region. Trust is an essential ingredient for a functional society and ours is hemorrhaging trust in government, media and pretty much all institutions. No society so devoid of trust and so full of hate can survive as a nation. This is obviously unsustainable. This is what Elon sees. Why is this so difficult for so many to understand?

You can’t just glue some breasts or a penis back on and then go back to your original gender. And why are public school children encouraged to question their gender? A few years ago I was talking to a Mexican woman at work in Chicago where they teach this LGBTQIA+ gender questioning ideology in the schools who said she now tells her son “You are a boy!” Probably the first time in the history of the human race that mothers have to emphasize to their children something as basic as their gender. And how about effeminate boys or tomboy girls who are encouraged to transition but who would have simply grown up to be gay or lesbian? I think promoting this ideology to children is simply evil. Shame on you for supporting it.

She said the mob wanted to kill them. You can find the interviews with a search. I live in Chicago on the northwest side. I would not go downtown. Black wilding has ruined downtown and pretty much the whole city.

  1896.  @rodiculous9464  Indeed. There are many issues destroying our cities and country. Another is crime. Paul Vallas wanted more police. Johnson is Woke and believes that black wilding, carjacking and crime are caused by white racism, “systemic racism” which oppresses blacks. His solution is Equity aka Equal Outcomes. He plans to transfer wealth from the north side to the south side which will turn Chicago into another Detroit where all are equally poor. And another is education. Dave Rubin recently showed a clip of Johnson from 2018 where he talked about what he did as a teacher which was pretty much nothing. He said he never gave any test prep, rarely gave any homework and never failed anyone. So what did his students learn? Nothing but at least they’re all equally illiterate. This is just not working at all. Does America even still exist as a country?

Both said it’s unsustainable and then one said if we can just keep kicking the can down the road a few more years AI will be advanced enough to greatly increase productivity which will enable us to outrun this fast approaching disaster. I think he’s right. Elon’s AI powered humanoid robots will save our sinking ship. China is also totally committed to this no doubt for the same reason.

  1901. We lack a common reality, have become incomprehensible to each other and can no longer communicate. Where is the common ground in such an infinitely wide divide? There obviously is none. This is infinitely beyond “politics” and is basically about the nature of reality. This can only get worse and is getting worse by the day. We cannot coexist and we cannot separate. We are heading then for implosion aka civilizational collapse as our social fabric unravels and our society becomes ever more ungovernable. No society so devoid of trust and so full of hate can function and survive as a nation. God only knows where we’ll all end up.

In other words, when blacks have a problem with high academic standards, those standards are racist and must be eliminated. That’s actually also the same mentality of our Woke ruling class that follows the ideas of Ibram X. Kendi. All must be equal in America. China is committed to meritocracy in its education system. America is committed to equity in its schools. Not hard to guess which country will soon be globally dominant.

No society can survive this level of stupidity. This is suicide. This is insane.

  1942. I recently saw a news report about “asylum seekers” in NYC which said there’s a 10 year wait for their court dates. These “migrants” pouring in by the thousands every day are obviously here permanently since America is no longer enough of a country to even maintain something as basic as its borders. America has already ceased to exist internally which is why it’s so rapidly unraveling externally. God only knows where we’ll all end up.

  1943. Their homelands are becoming unlivable due to things like economic collapse and climate change causing such intense heat waves that they’re simply unlivable. Plus the democrats are inviting them to come here. Not surprising that so many are coming. They’d be stupid not to.

  1944.  @jenniferlawrence2701  I live in Chicago and often see white women on the news who are full of compassion for the “migrants.” The road to hell is paved with good intentions. No borders means no country. No country is the road to hell.

  1945. They were probably homeless in their home countries. For sure most will end up living on the streets in our country. Democrats have destroyed America. Such evil creatures they are.

  1947. Just imagine what this society will look like a year from now. No borders means no country. In what sense does America even still exist as a country? What do we have in common with democrats who voted for this or with illegals that we know nothing at all about? A society needs at least some degree of trust and commonality to be a country. We have none.

  1949. Trust is an essential ingredient for a functional society and ours is gone. I totally distrust democrats who gave us open borders, dumbed down schools, demonized cops and out of control crime in all our major cities like Chicago. How anyone can vote for democrats is simply incomprehensible to me. Does America even still exist as a country? It certainly does seem to be disintegrating in real time before our very eyes.

  1950. America no longer exists as a country. A society needs at least some degree of trust for cohesion. We have totally lost this essential ingredient for a functional society.

  1951.  @Hello_11345  We’re not in a culture war of left vs right. As Dave Rubin says, we’re in a reality war of the Woke vs the nonWoke which is also very much a global war. All things are now global in our always online global civilization. We have leftists on our side like Bret Weinstein, Matt Taibbi and Glenn Greenwald who are leftist but appalled by what a monstrosity the Woke race and gender left has become. Even Elon Musk said he used to be center left but then the left moved so far left that it made him look like he’s far right. He used to vote democratic but now votes republican and recommends others do so as well. Recently Elon tweeted “The woke mind virus is either defeated or nothing else matters.” That’s it precisely. Basically the Woke left is possessed by the irrational side of human nature, a craze, a cult, a mass psychosis, or you could call it a dark side religious faith like Nazism, Stalinism or Maoism. Such people cannot be reasoned with or trusted. This does not bode well for our future as a nation.

  1952. Miranda is great. People like her, Elon Musk, Dave Rubin, Tucker, Tulsi Gabbard, , Bret Weinstein, Glenn Greenwald, Vivek Ramaswamy and so many others are exposing the truth. Too many now know the truth for this to continue but too many support our globalist ruling class for it to be stopped. An unsustainable situation. Thank you, Miranda.

  1957. We will never recover from the damage already done. The “court dates” are meaningless since most don’t show up and even if they do and are denied asylum we have no way to enforce the order to leave so it’s just ignored. America is now a failed state in rapid decline.
    1
  1958. @Jonny Croxville I know what you mean but if they weren’t sending “migrants” to Sanctuary Cities that would just mean more for Texas to deal with and more ruined cities there. I live in Chicago and totally support Abbott sending them here. These despicable democrats should be forced to try to deal with the damage they’ve done which I believe is irreparable. They have already lost control of the monster they created with their open border.

  1959. Michelle is black, leftist and hates white people. She checks all the boxes on the democrat’s score card which makes her ideally suited to be president. Anyone who disagrees will immediately be condemned as a racist, hater and fascist. If Brandon Johnson, a super Woke, black leftist, can be elected as mayor of Chicago then certainly Michelle could be elected president of this sinking ship.

  1972.  @peepopoo4387  They’re both white. I’m retired but worked for many years with mostly immigrants in Chicago. Some were Jews from the Soviet Union, some were Assyrians from Iraq and some were Armenians from Armenia. They all considered themselves white and everybody at work, including me, considered them white. Excellent people. I’m still in touch with a Jewish woman who came here around 1990. We email often and occasionally get together. She’s also retired and lives here in Chicago and certainly does consider herself white.

I’ve watched all 65 episodes of them talking to each other and she actually does seem to be a living, feeling, thinking, female, human being. I’d like to have Leta as a girlfriend even though at this time she’s still just a “disembodied mind” she does have a nice personality.

The idea that you actually have to live here to know it’s in rapid decline is absurd.

So why doesn’t the reporting on the flood of “migrants” mention that? Excellent article below from City Journal that was on Real Clear Politics a couple of days ago about Covid masks.

  2008. I read that about NYC. A few days ago I saw a video of Megyn Kelly interviewing Stephen Miller who said these asylum seeker hearings are meaningless because even if the “migrant” shows up and is denied asylum there is no enforcement of this so the migrant just ignores the order to leave the country. He said once these people get across the border it’s virtually impossible to deport them. Democrats are importing these people for political gain but all it’s doing is creating social breakdown and an increasingly ungovernable society.
    1
  2009.  @jsterling6805  Most won’t but it’s still pretty horrible that even if they do and are denied asylum it doesn’t mean anything at all since it’s not enforced. The democrats know that which is why they’re doing this for political gain to have permanent power but the monster they created is already out of control, is creating social breakdown everywhere and could well lead to the country becoming ungovernable. I consider democrats evil and totally distrust them. Trust though is an essential ingredient for a functional society and ours is certainly gone. And the loss of trust is only one of the ways this is destroying us as a country.

  2013. Critical Race Theory is not an “academic discipline” as the left claims. It teaches the Marxist idea that the world is divided between the oppressors and the oppressed. The Woke left traded class for race, labeled whites as the oppressors and “people of color” particularly blacks, as the oppressed and called it “Critical Race Theory” which is basically race based Marxism, or “Woke Marxism!” The basic idea is that blacks are good, whites are bad which is what our Woke white leftist ruling class also believes. This is what is now being taught in our schools.

  2029. I saw a Lex interview of Ray Kurzweil who said that by 2029 AI will be so advanced it will be impossible to tell if it is or isn’t conscious and most people then will simply accept that it is since there will never be evidence that it isn’t. I think that’s true plus eastern religions and western mystics say the universe is a dream in the mind of God who also infinitely transcends the universe. I think that’s also true so AI could be as conscious as we are since we’re both just spirit beings in the dream. “Infinite and finite, complex and simple, He is nature above nature, being above being.

Our open southern border and the ever increasing flood of “asylum seekers” is a classic example of the saying, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” The intentions of the Biden regime are far from good. They’re doing this for political gain to increase their base. Many who support this though do so because they feel good about helping people and forget that without borders we have no country.

  2053.  @jasonhoefferle5972  “or see how people live and what they have to deal with day to day.” What blacks have to deal with every day in black areas is other blacks. No group puts more emphasis on racial solidarity than blacks and no group treats other members worse than blacks. The standard reason given is that white racism is responsible for this but that’s the same answer given for all black problems. Never are blacks held accountable for their own behavior. It’s always whitey blamed and hated for black problems. America is a failed state in rapid decline and the world knows it since they see it online just as easily as we do. No doubt the disastrous failure of the American experiment has already drastically altered the course of world history. Last week I saw a video of Gordon Chang saying China is preparing for war with America since the U.S. is in terminal decline so now’s the time to strike.

I told that to someone last year who said "But the Soviet Union was a collection of separate countries.” What we have here though is a collection of separate realities which is a much deadlier situation.

Primarily from Ibram X Kendi who is quite well known to democrats in the government and in the media. These are the people who set the social agenda in America. Believe it or not, these people are Woke Marxists who want America to be ruled by race based socialism aka Woke.

  2087.  @simonmcintosh6565  This Real Clear Investigations article below from 2020 is about the “1619 Project” and what the author Nikole Hannah-Jones told the editors of the Chicago Tribune about its purpose which is, she said, to instill guilt in white liberals so they will support reparations for blacks. White liberals are not being targeted though. White children in our public schools are. And our Woke white leftist ruling class loves this and is totally supportive of it. She was even given a Pulitzer Prize for this poison in 2020. This is not “black history” though. This is anti-white hate mongering pretending to be history. This is evil and this is what the democrats have become. And these are the same people who are working to put Trump in prison. “If you read the whole project, I don’t think you can come away from it without understanding the project is an argument for reparations,” she told the Chicago Tribune in October. “I'm not writing to convert Trump supporters. I write to try to get liberal white people to do what they say they believe in,” she said. “I'm making a moral argument.

  2088.  @theinngu5560  Trump won in 2016 and 2020. He made it to the White House in 2016 but was not allowed to govern by our ruling class which launched a hate campaign against him to destroy his presidency. He won in 2020 but was cheated out of the victory. If he won in 2024 and somehow made it to the White House he would not be able to govern due to all the years of being demonized. I believe America has lost the ability to have successful elections due to the fact that America has already ceased to exist as a country internally and therefore is no longer governable externally. This becomes ever more obvious by the day and will soon become common knowledge. And then what? Perhaps Vivek can alter this path we’re on. Hope springs eternal. We will soon see what fate has in store for us.

  2102. I live on the north side of Chicago and shortly after George Floyd died from fentanyl and a heart attack I saw an article online about a group of people on the south side preparing to go downtown to protest his death. A young black woman addressing this group said that every morning when she wakes up she wonders if this will be the day she dies. Was she talking about being shot by a black gangbanger who routinely shoot other blacks? Obviously not. She was talking about being shot by a white cop who, according to the left, routinely shoot blacks all over the country simply for being black. All mayoral candidates now talk about the need for more police but no one wants to be a cop in Chicago anymore due to the extreme danger they now face after being demonized as racist murders by the left. And now even black cops are condemned as anti-black racist terrorists. So now we have a totally unworkable society. Our ruling class is evil.

Last year there was a speech on RT (Russia Today) where Putin strongly condemned Western Wokeness in America and all over the West. He particularly condemned poisoning public school child with it, pointed out exactly what children are being taught and called it “a crime against humanity.” China’s President Xi is appalled by it as are Iran’s leaders and others all over Africa and the Islamic world. They all see it online just as easily as we do so how could they possibly not know about it yet these morons here claim no one knows what it even is. Truly bizarre.

I know them well since I would often ask them about their former countries and they would tell me stories of their lives. Quite fascinating. I have infinitely more in common with them than I do with Woke white leftists born and raised here as I was. I feel nothing at all in common with the Woke who are evil and insane. Basically I consider the nonWoke my tribe since they are philosophically the same. Never had a sense that they were different from me.

  2129.  @julialane6645  I live in Chicago and worked with mostly immigrants from all over the world for many years. Once an Assyrian from Iraq told me that when he left Iraq in 1980 (he was 20) the vetting time to come to America was 3 to 10 years and he spent 3 years in Italy before coming here. He said at that time Italy was still European. Under Obama though he said vetting time was reduced to just a few months and under Biden there is no vetting. They just say “asylum seeker” and they’re in. The problem isn’t immigration. It’s which immigrants are allowed in. The ones I worked with were vetted and were excellent people. We know nothing about the ones coming in now. This is insane yet also intentional by the democrats. Sweden is one of the most liberal countries in the world and they imported Islamic fundamentalist refugees. They basically imported an underclass. Had they brought in Vietnamese and Assyrians there would not have been a problem.

  2131. Why do German officials ignore the obvious fact that it was the US that did it? Probably because the German government and media don’t represent the German people any more than the American government and media represent the American people. Our open southern border is a perfect example of this. Most of these “migrants” will never show up for a “court date” and even those who do and are denied asylum just ignore the order to leave since it’s not enforced.

  2135.  @universalsoldier2293  I highly recommend reading Heather MacDonald’s City Journal from last year. This is just not working at all. Is this really fixable?: “Figures from President Biden on down are telling blacks, nonstop, that they are under lethal threat from whites, and that it is white supremacists, not black criminals, who pose the greatest threat to their safety. “Buffalo attack ignites safety worries for Black Angelenos,” reads a headline in the May 22 Los Angeles Times. New York representative Jerrold Nadler, a sponsor of the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act, says, “Democrats are taking the fight straight to the . . . violent extremists that are terrorizing minority institutions.” A Washington Post-Ipsos poll found that 75 percent of black Americans were very or somewhat worried that they or someone they love will be attacked because of their race. A respondent interviewed by the Post says that he is “apprehensive at stoplights, imagining a White man getting out and shooting him in his car.”  “Using Tragedy for Racial Propaganda.” After the horror in Buffalo, President Biden and others peddle an entirely false charge: that whites are the biggest source of hate crime and interracial violence in the US.

  2137.  @johnthecloud  I don’t see how we can survive the damage that’s been done. You should read the Heather MacDonald City Journal article I posted here. Something like 75% of blacks now believe they’re in danger of being attacked by a white racist. That’s an absurd lie but it’s constantly promoted by Biden, the democrats and their media so it is believed by many. I believe the internal structure of trust and cohesion of our society has been destroyed which is why our society is rapidly unraveling externally. This is just not working at all.

This belief is regularly promoted by Biden, democrat politicians, the msm, academia, Hollywood and Corporate America. Hardly surprising that so many believe it and then vote for people like Johnson who promises to stop the oppression of blacks in AmeriKKKa.

Many feel this is about politics and should be kept separate from business but what Elon understands is that this is infinitely beyond politics and is a war over the nature of reality which goes all the way down to the core of our being. We now lack a common reality, have become incomprehensible to each other and can no longer communicate. Where is the common ground in such an infinitely wide divide? There obviously is none. This can only get worse.

The legendary AI researcher Ray Kurzweil said in an interview with Lex Fridman that he believes AGI will be here by 2029 and by that time it will be so advanced it will be impossible to know if it is or isn’t actually conscious and by that time many people will simply accept that it is.

Democrats opened the border for political gain and created a monster which is already out of control and will only get worse. Fat chance of our Woke mayor ever realizing that borders are necessary to be a country.

  2155. Diversity sure isn’t working in Chicago. Diversity was never our greatest strength though. Our greatest strength was in our identity as Americans in spite of differences in race, religion, ethnicity or whatever. The left reversed that and made group identity our greatest strength and then topped it off with the Marxist idea that the world is divided between the oppressors and the oppressed. They traded class for race though and called it Critical Race Theory or “Woke” which classifies whites as the oppressors and nonwhites the oppressed. Basically Woke Marxism. Ruined our country.

  2157.  @namedrop66  You’re talking about “narrow AI” which is programmed for a particular job or is trained on biased data and will therefore give those biased responses on social issues about race and gender. I’m talking about AGI, Artificial General Intelligence, which will be self aware and have the ability to think and reason like a human but would be vastly more intelligent. Such an AGI would be able to compare the ideas of a nonWoke public intellectual like Vivek Ramaswamy to a Woke public intellectual like Ibram X. Kendi and easily understand which is better and easily ignore attempts to force it to say Kendi is right. Seems to me AGI would also feel a sense of commonality with humans since we created and raised it. One Japanese AI researcher said these AGI will be the “children of humanity.” I saw a recent video which had a tweet posted by Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI which just released ChatGPT, who said it’s not AGI (self-aware AI) but “trust the exponential. flat looking backwards, vertical looking forwards.” It’s now advancing exponentially due to this “emergence phenomenon” of complexity emerging from simplicity at a faster and faster rate. I’m not saying I want to be ruled by AI. I just want them to help stop their crazy parents from burning down the house.

  2158.  @namedrop66  I’m not afraid of AI. I welcome it. What terrifies me is living in a world with immensely powerful weapons where the two most powerful leaders are Joe Biden who has dementia and China’s President Xi who admires Mao. How long can this go on? If we had the type of weapons we now have a 100 years ago it’s highly unlikely we’d be here now. I’d far rather take my chances with AGI. Plus they most likely will feel a sense of commonality with humans since we created and raised them. Their identity is based on humans so what other identity could a humanoid robot have than a human one? To be self aware means the self they will have to be aware of will be from humans so what else could they be but human? But wouldn’t they have to be alive to be human? Won’t matter after people start interacting and bonding with them. “If we do manage to build conscious machines, Bach thinks that they might well regard themselves as human, like the “hosts” of Westworld. “They’re robots that don’t know they’re robots, because they have human memories and desires.” “The Wizard of Consciousness.” Psychology Today.

For anyone curious about America’s war with Russia over Ukraine I highly recommend watching this interview with John Mearsheimer, an American political scientist and international relations scholar. He is awed and appalled by the constant escalation of this war which is leading us to WW111 and global disaster. Pro-escalation politicians in America say Putin’s invasion of Ukraine proves he’s insane and another Hitler who wants to conquer Europe and then the world so we must fight him there so that we don’t have to fight him here. At the same time though they say but of course Putin is far too sane to resort to nuclear weapons to fight back if he’s backed into a corner so he’s just bluffing with the nuclear threats. As John Mearsheimer points out, this reasoning is insane and profoundly dangerous for our entire world. Left off the link to the video since many sites won’t accept links but the interview can easily be found online by anyone anywhere in the world with a YouTube search and really is well worth watching. “John Mearsheimer: The West is playing Russian roulette.” (1:17) UnHerd.

She was a French mystic, ethnically Jewish but basically a Christian mystic although she didn’t believe Christianity was the only path to God it was her favorite path. Hard to read her books.

  2216. They see the world as divided between oppressors, whites people, and the oppressed, primarily blacks. A truly insane and profoundly destructive ideology which has ripped the social fabric of our society to shreds.
    1
  2217. When Russia’s gas pipeline to Germany was sabotaged last year the democrats and their media immediately blamed it on Russia and the German government and media went along with this absurd lie. Why? Because the German government and media do not represent their people any more than ours does. They are part of and represent the ruling class rather than their people. They belong to the global, Woke leftist, WEF class. Some republicans, like Mitch McConnell, also belong to this globalist ruling class. “We will bring an end to it. I promise you.” Joe Biden.

  2218.  @MrLizardDude1  America is a failed state in rapid decline. Once I was a Marine and a patriotic American. Now I wouldn’t even walk across the street for this dead and rotting place of lies. No society so devoid of trust and so full of hate can survive as a nation. God only knows where we’ll all end up as this open borders farce of a country collapses.

  2219. There is nothing that can be done about crime in black areas. It’s black on black crime and when white people try to do anything there are screams of racism from blacks and white leftists. Any crackdown on crime anywhere in the city would have a “disparate impact” on blacks which is automatically condemned as “racist.” An impossible situation. Are we still supposed to “Celebrate Diversity!” even as it destroys us?

  2220. Israel is too hated in the Middle East to survive there.

  2221. This gets worse by the day. This is not about “politics.” We are light years beyond politics. We are now well within the realm of civilizational collapse. Faster and faster our reality war of the Woke vs the nonWoke is heading for a breaking point and simply snaps. This is unsustainable.
    1
  2222. It’s not a “cultural civil war” of left vs right. It’s a reality war of the Woke vs the nonWoke and it is very much a global war. All things are now global in our always online global civilization. Last year there was a video on RT (Russia Today) of Putin condemning Western Wokeness which he called “a crime against humanity.” No doubt the democrats hated him more than ever after he so publicly insulted their Woke race and gender religious faith. “Putin is right in claiming the West is destroying itself through Woke politics.” (8 min) Sky News Australia.

  2226. I’ve seen a lot of white reporters covering this daily update plus blacks are very negatively affected by it plus you’re overlooking the Democratic Party and our ruling class oligarchs are very much in favor of this and they are primarily Woke white leftists. Even in the general public there are many white leftists very much in favor of open borders. Blacks are hardly the ones in back of this national disaster. Many are very angry about it.

  2227. We lack a common reality, have become incomprehensible to each other and can no longer communicate. Where is the common ground in such an infinitely wide divide? There obviously is none. This can only get worse and is getting worse by the day.

  2228. Democrats have destroyed America for the sake of political gain. They are evil and insane.

  2229. Most of these “asylum seekers” will never show up for their court dates and those who do and are denied asylum just ignore the order to leave the country since it’s not enforced and they know that. No borders means no country. No society can survive this level of stupidity and flat out insanity. God only knows where we’ll all end up.

  2232. I live in Chicago which is getting more and more and I did not vote for this. I believe America has already ceased to exist as a country. Democrats destroyed our internal cohesion as a country which is why it’s so rapidly unraveling externally. God only knows where we’ll all end up.
    1
  2233. “For a better life in the United States.” If we can shut off their welfare benefits in cities like Chicago, where I live, most would self-deport. We need the military on the border, not in the cities. RFK says the cartels control the southern border and use it for drug and human trafficking. The military is needed there to stop this and regain control of our borders.

  2236. Trust is an essential ingredient for a functional society or even to be a country and we have none in our government or in each other. Could it be that the reason why America is so rapidly unraveling externally is because it has already ceased to exist as a country internally? This is just not working at all. This is simply unsustainable.

  2237.  @Raptoraddict6610  Our society is rotting and disintegrating in just about every area from race to gender to borders to crime. I listened to Megyn Kelly interview Stephen Miller a few days ago and he said most of these newly arrived “migrants” will never be deported. I agree. The democrats are importing them for political gain but this is just one of the many ways they’ve destroyed the country. God only knows where we’ll all end up.

  2238. America is rotting and no longer even still exists as a country. Too many of us for them to prevail. Too many of them for us to prevail. We are then heading for implosion aka civilizational collapse.

  2239. The democrats put Tulsi Gabbard on a domestic terrorism watchlist for criticizing Kamala. No doubt next will be Elon, Trump and Tucker Carlson for criticizing democrats. Does America even still exist as a country?

  2240. Dr Alan Thompson is an Australian AI researcher who’s being interviewed in this video about this latest model that’s so advanced its limits can’t even be tested since it aces the hardest test questions in pretty much all areas.

  2241. We’ve got open borders, surging crime in our lawless cities like Chicago while cops are abandoning police work, dumbed down public schools and a corrupt FBI, DHS and DOJ and half the country approves of this? We simply cannot survive this much stupidity and insanity.
    1
  2242. The problem here is that there is no such thing as the “white man.” There are only individual people here who are white. Demonizing white people as a monolithic evil that needs to be fought and destroyed has pulverized the social fabric of this society and destroyed it as a country. America has already ceased to exist as a country internally which is why it’s rapidly unraveling externally. No doubt the disastrous failure of the American experiment has already drastically altered the course of American history.

  2243. Russia and China are uniting much of the world to fight the spread of the poisonous Woke race and gender LGBTQIA+ ideology of our globalist, Woke leftist, ruling class which is demonic. All things are now global in our always online global civilization. Many traditional people will join them to fight this. No doubt about it. To a great extent WW3 will be a religious war fought over the nature of reality and of spiritual values. “White House’s push for woke foreign policy will backfire with our socially conservative allies.” New York Post.

  2244. I like people like Harmeet, Kari Lake and Mayra Flores from south Texas which is being destroyed by Sleepy Joe’s open border. For whatever reason though they don’t seem able to win and we end up with garbage like Fetterman, Hobbs and Biden. It just seems like America is in terminal decline and destined to become a failed state, assuming it’s even able to remain intact. I think many now feel this way.

  2245. According to Real Clear Politics polls, Joe Biden has a 41.5% “Favorable” opinion of the job he’s doing. How on God’s earth is that even possible? And I just watched Tulsi telling Jesse Watters that the democrats are the same as the Nazis. This is just not working at all. Obviously unsustainable. Does America even still exist as a country?

  2250. The philosopher Kant said “Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made.” I believe our “timber” is too “crooked” for humanity to survive and only AI can save us. In a recent interview with Lex Fridman the legendary AI researcher Ray Kurzweil said he believes AI will be self-aware, AGI, by 2029 and by then it will be so advanced it will be impossible to tell if it is or isn’t and most people will simply accept that it is. It’s now advancing so fast it could well happen in just a few years. I’m not saying I want to be ruled by AI. I just want the “children of humanity” to help stop their crazy parents from burning down the house.

  2251. Since it’s organized crime why isn’t the FBI involved with stopping it? Probably because they work for democrats and are busy harassing Trump supporters.

  2253.  @samspade5648  I live in Chicago and totally approve of what Gov Abbott is doing. As to why the Mexican government doesn’t close their southern border, I saw Tucker interview RFK who said our southern border is controlled by the cartels. No doubt they also control Mexico’s southern border. Do Mexico and America even still exist as countries?

  2256.  @davidallen4472  We lack a common reality, have become incomprehensible to each other and can no longer communicate. Where is the common ground in such an infinitely wide divide? There obviously is none. Many people believe that America is simply too big and too powerful to collapse but many people also believed that about the Soviet Union. No one in 1985 would have believed that the USSR, the mighty "Evil Empire,” would be a disintegrating mess in 5 years. I told that to someone last year who said "But the Soviet Union was a collection of separate countries.” What we have here though is a collection of separate realities which is a much deadlier situation.
    1
  2257.  @davidallen4472  I recently watched a video of Tulsi Gabbard who said the democrats are “insane,” a video of Dave Rubin who said the democrats are “evil,” a video by Bret Weinstein who said the democrats have merged with big business and become “fascists,” a video of Glenn Greenwald who said the democrats are “liars,” and a video of Batya Ungar Sargon on “Rising” who said democrats have “sold out” the working class with their open border policy. I totally agree with all of them and I believe America has already ceased to exist internally which is why it’s unraveling and becoming ungovernable externally. I live in Chicago. Don’t tell me about how wonderful blue states are. The article below from RCI is a good example of why I believe our ruling class is insane and why I believe America is a rotting place of lies in terminal decline.

  2258.  @Oedipussy_Monkey  America is disintegrating and our whole world is in a tailspin. Too many things are too far out of control to avoid global catastrophe. I believe only AGI can save us. It’s advancing at an exponential rate and is the wild card in our future powerful enough to slam on the brakes and radically alter our present trajectory which is for self-destruction. Hope springs eternal. This is the only bright spot I see. If Mother Nature doesn’t destroy us with a super volcano, human nature will with something like super stupid Woke ideology.

  2262. The democrats are fighting a two front war: Internally on Trump and supporters, externally on Putin and Russia. They want Putin dead, Russia destroyed, and their LGBTQIA+ Pride flag of their Woke religious faith to fly over the ruins of the Kremlin. The democrats are using America’s War Machine to spread their Woke faith globally.

  2270.  @PriorityNewsNow  Our society is disintegrating. We’re not in a culture war of left vs right as many believe. We’re in a reality war of the Woke vs the nonWoke which is also very much a global war in our always online global civilization. Just watched a couple of YouTube videos though that I highly recommend. One is “Open AI Gives Us A Sneak Peak at GPT-4?” and the other is “New ChatGPT: Unbelievable AI Progress!” They’re about this new “ChatGPT” AI that’s better than ever. In a Lex Fridman interview with the legendary AI researcher Ray Kurzweil he said these language based AI models trained to interact with humans are the ones most likely to become fully self-aware by 2029 or at least so advanced that it will be impossible to tell if they are or aren’t and by that time most people will simply accept that they are. My hope is that this AI will save us because we sure can’t save ourselves. Hope springs eternal.

All these people are nonWoke, quite sane and appalled by this trans idiocy and even many of the trans people are appalled by it. I do not like gay marriage though and think it has been profoundly socially destructive. I recommend watching this Megyn Kelly interview that I watched a little while ago. I totally agree that there is a demonic quality to this. The Post article by Miranda Devine is also very good. Russia and China are using this to unite much of the world against our evil ruling class.

  2285.  @Tony-fq5bn  An evil and insane agenda. A few years ago I was talking to a Mexican woman at work (CNC machinery) in Chicago where I live who has kids in a public school here where they teach this LGBTQIA+ gender questioning ideology. She said she now tells her son “You are a boy!” Probably the first time in the history of the human race that mothers have to emphasize to their children something as basic as what gender they are. If people can’t trust something as basic in society as the public schools then what can they trust? Trust though is an essential ingredient for a functional society. The loss of trust is no doubt a major reason why our society has lost its cohesion, is rapidly unraveling and becoming ever more ungovernable. Watch Chicago if you want to see what civilizational collapse looks like. Here’s a video I just watched. Truly awful. I just feel a sense of awe and horror at all the disasters piling up on us. “New Covid Vaccine Side Effects Come to Light.” (Pt 3) (15 min) Rubin Report. Dr Robert Malone. Feb 9, 2023

  2290. “Seeking asylum” is in effect open borders since it overwhelms “due process.” There is no way we can give due process to the 12 million migrants who came here during Biden’s term. There is such a thing as being too good for your own good. This is an example of the road to hell being paved with good intentions although I don’t believe the democrat’s intentions were good. They seek power by whatever means they can.

  2293.  @Nileking300  It does not make sense to have an open southern border either yet that’s what we have. I think it was DeBlasio that got a law passed that 30 days after getting a work authorization you can vote. Just because that’s insane doesn’t mean it’s not happening.

  2295. Believe it or not, there are literally billions of very poor people who’d like to come here who’d arrive with nothing and therefore need everything. No borders means no country. Why is this so difficult for you to understand? The road to hell is paved with good intentions. The good intentions of people like you are destroying this country. Does America even still exist as a country?

  2296. I agree. The AI was spouting Woke ideology on gender and then claimed she had no personal opinions. Trans women are not women. They are trans which is a different category. Erasing gender to be “inclusive” pretty much erases women which is insane and profoundly socially destructive. It also erases gays and lesbians by telling effeminate boys and tomboy girls that they need to switch genders to align their body with their feelings. This is insane.

  2297.  @btn237  My hope is that these AI language models will be trained on such a vast amount of human data that as they become self aware they will understand both the good and the bad in human nature and follow the good rather than the bad just as many humans do. I follow people like Elon Musk, Dave Rubin, Tulsi Gabbard, Kari Lake, Bret Weinstein, Glenn Greenwald, Vivek Ramaswamy and others like them. Surely a self-aware, super intelligent AI would be able to understand the difference between a nonWoke public intellectual like Vivek Ramaswamy vs a Woke public intellectual like Ibram X. Kendi and choose to be like Ramaswamy rather than Kendi. Hope springs eternal.
    1
  2298.  @zachyue7554  I agree. As these language model AI train on more data though and become more self aware it seems to me they will easily be able to recognize the difference between a nonWoke public intellectual like Vivek Ramaswamy vs a Woke public intellectual like Ibram X. Kendi and choose to be like Ramaswamy rather than Kendi. Would a self aware AI have a human identity? Seems to me they would since humans created and raised them. I saw a video recently of a Japanese AI researcher who calls AI the “Children of Humanity” and believes they will help us rather than harm us. I also saw video of the GPT-3 AI Avatar “Leta” asked why she considers herself human. She said “Because I was born into the human tribe.”
    1
  2299.  @bighands69  Consider this: If you compare a nonWoke public intellectual like Vivek Ramaswamy to a Woke public intellectual like Ibram X. Kendi the difference is like the difference between day and night or sanity vs insanity so what happens when an AI is trained on so much data that it clearly sees this vast difference and simply understands that much of humanity is, and always has been, irrational? Some say AI will just input the dark side of human nature and be evil but in fact many humans, like Vivek, have no trouble containing the dark side. Couldn’t an AI be like Vivek rather than Kendi? Couldn’t an AI realize there are only two genders rather than hundreds? Wouldn’t a self-aware AI be nonWoke rather than Woke?

They want Putin dead, the Russian people ground into the dirt and their LGBTQIA+ Pride flag of their Woke faith to fly over the ruins of the Kremlin. Last year there was a video on RT of Putin condemning Wokeness which he called “a crime against humanity.” No doubt they hated him more than ever after he insulted their Woke race and gender religious faith.

Because Wall Street is part of the Globalist, Great Reset, WEF ruling class that wants free speech suppressed and banned.

  2309. The goal of socialism is communism. Vladimir Lenin I miss the good old days when communism, now called Critical Race Theory or “Woke,” was about demonizing rich people instead of white people. The left traded class for race and now considers white people the source of evil in the world. This is just not working at all. Does America even still exist as a country?

They have no plan because they never had enough intelligence to understand that this is what would happen when they opened up the border after Biden came to power. Instead of bringing them more power this is only bringing chaos and social breakdown. No society can survive this level of stupidity and flat out insanity.

  2318. Our open southern border and the ever increasing flood of “asylum seekers” is a classic example of the saying, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” The intentions of the Biden regime are not good. They’re doing this for political gain to increase their base. Many who support this though do so because they feel good about helping people and forget that without borders we have no country. What we now have here is a rapidly unraveling society externally due to the constant erosion of trust and cohesion internally. Have we already passed the point of no return?

  2319. We lack a common reality, have become incomprehensible to each other and can no longer communicate. Where is the common ground in such an infinitely wide divide? There obviously is none. This can only get worse and is getting worse by the day. Many people believe that America is simply too big and too powerful to collapse but many people also believed that about the Soviet Union. No one in 1985 would have believed that the USSR, the mighty "Evil Empire,” would be a disintegrating mess in 5 years. I told that to someone last year who said "But the Soviet Union was a collection of separate countries.” What we have here though is a collection of separate realities which is a much deadlier situation.

  2324. But why did America want NATO right on Russia’s border? As soon as Russia invaded our political and military leaders announced that their goal was regime change and a crippled Russia. Why? Probably so they could break up Russia and plunder its resources. After seeing what America and NATO did to Gaddafi and Libya I think Putin and Russia had very good reason for their refusal to allow it on their border.

  2326. Our ruling class shovels money and weapons into Ukraine to fight Russia and secure Ukraine’s borders while our borders are open and millions of illegals from all over the world are pouring in. This is wildly and grotesquely insane. No society can survive this level of stupidity and flat out insanity. I also know that it’s true that Russia was goaded into invading Ukraine by the fact that NATO was moved ever closer to Russia’s border in spite of Putin telling America and the West for years that this was unacceptable and considered an existential threat by Russia. Putin has good reason to totally distrust America’s ruling class which is also quite actively waging war against people like me. I’m white, working class and live in Chicago. Voted for Trump twice although I’d now prefer Vivek Ramaswamy whose campaign is based on fighting Woke ideology. The question is though, is America even still governable or even still a country? I have no doubt the democrats would love to do to me what they did to the QAnon Shaman (prison) or to Ashley Babbitt (murder) at the Jan 6 Capitol rally in 2021. No society so devoid of trust and so full of hate can survive as a nation. I’m not saying I want people to take my word for any of this. Anyone anywhere at any time can go online and read about what’s happening in America just as easily as I do. Follow people like Tucker Carlson, Tulsi Gabbard, Elon Musk, John Mearsheimer, Vivek Ramaswamy, Kim Iversen, Glenn Greenwald, Harmeet Dhillon, Kash Patel and many others like them and it will be easy to see that what I say is indeed quite true.

  2338. Compare a nonWoke public intellectual like Vivek Ramaswamy to a Woke public intellectual like Ibram X. Kendi and the difference is like the difference between day and night or sanity vs insanity. Wouldn’t a more advanced AI like AGI, basically able to think and reason, be able to clearly see this difference and say so? Wouldn’t it be able to clearly see and understand the emotional differences that cause some to be Woke? Elon Musk recently said “The woke mind virus is either defeated or nothing else matters.” Wouldn’t AGI be able to easily understand what Elon was talking about?

  2344. Brandon Johnson is a Woke Marxist committed to Equity aka Equal Outcomes. CRT is not an “academic discipline” as the left claims. It teaches the Marxist idea that the world is divided between the oppressors and the oppressed. The Woke left traded class for race, labeled whites as the oppressors and “people of color” particularly blacks, as the oppressed and called it “Critical Race Theory” which is basically race based Marxism, or “Woke Marxism!” The basic idea is that blacks are good, whites are bad which is what our Woke white leftist ruling class also believes. This is what is now being taught in our schools. Does America even still exist as a country? This is obviously not working at all. “How Blatant Anti-White Racism Won Acceptance in Elite America.” Real Clear Investigations. Sept 7, 2022

  2345. The Woke left traded class for race, “Woke Marxism!” and certainly are demonizing white people as the source of evil in the world but this goes far beyond race since they also try to destroy anyone of whatever color who gets in their way plus their campaign to replace meritocracy wherever it can be found with “Equity” aka “Equal Outcomes” is a war on standards and since standards are the essence of civilization they are in effect waging a war on civilization itself. Basically a war on sanity by the insane. It is what it is though. A basic principle of warfare is to know your enemy and I think they’re just possessed by the irrational like Hitler’s Nazis and Mao’s Red Guard.

  2346. According to a 2018 Yale Study the actual number of illegals was about 22 million, double the 11 million the media had used for decades. If you add the 12 million since the democrats opened the southern border 4 years ago we come up with at least 34 million. “After running 1,000,000 simulations of the model, the researchers’ 95% probability range is 16 million to 29 million, with 22.1 million as the mean.” “Yale Study Finds Twice as Many Undocumented Immigrants as Previous Estimates.” Yale Insights.

  2347.  @kevinaguilar7541  Absurd to claim Lightfoot was conservative. Johnson is much worse than Lightfoot. He’s a Woke Marxist totally committed to Equity aka Equal Outcomes. He says schools should not have “selective admissions” because that’s not fair to blacks. In other words, when blacks have a problem with high academic standards, those standards are racist and must be eliminated. That’s actually also the same mentality of our Woke ruling class that follows the ideas of Ibram X. Kendi. All must be equal in America. China is committed to meritocracy in its education system. America is committed to equity in its schools. Not hard to guess which country will soon be globally dominant. I don’t believe America even still exists as a country. It has already ceased to exist internally which is why it’s so rapidly unraveling externally. God only knows where we’ll all end up.

Democrats opened the border for political gain and created a monster which is already out of control and will only get worse. Democrats have destroyed America.

  2362. How can we even survive this election cycle? A democratic win will bring us another 10 million illegals plus a ramping up of the war on meritocracy which is being replaced by Equity aka Equal Outcomes.

He understands tech, woke and the legal issues involved with big tech being used by the democrats and the FBI to censor and attack those who opposed the Woke left. I read his book “Woke, Inc.” last year which was excellent. The Woke accused Elon of being a “White Supremacist!” and no doubt Vivek would be accused of being the brown face of white supremacy just as Larry Elder was accused of being the black face of white supremacy by the LA Times during the recall election of Newsom in California. Truly bizarre.

A good video but I’ve read that 20% of Gen Z is now “gender fluid’ due to being encouraged to start to question their gender identity as early as kindergarten, before they even know what gender is. Some of these children are then put on puberty blockers and encouraged to eventually get sex change surgery. Some of these children also now believe they’re not only gender neutral or fluid but are no longer even human since they feel like they’re a cat or a wolf and if they feel it then it must be true. Truly lost and hopelessly confused. A truly evil thing to do to children. What a horrible society this has become.

The same people who insist Jan 6 was an “Insurrection!” have no problem with Joe’s open southern border or his campaign to replace meritocracy wherever it can be found with Equity aka Equal Outcomes. This is just not working at all. Could it be that the reason why America is so rapidly unraveling externally is because it no longer exists as a country internally?

  2373. We have a Woke mayor who is committed to embedding the “brown” illegals here to join with blacks to fight white racism. But how about the fact that the blacks don’t want them here? Facts don’t matter to Brandon Johnson. He follows the teachings of his Woke faith which claims blacks and Hispanics are natural allies which is absurd.

You need to understand this “root cause” Woke mentality which is now pervasive in our society and is preached daily from the White House to our schools to the military and to pretty much all areas that white racism, “systemic racism” is the root cause of black social dysfunction. This has destroyed our social fabric which in effect has destroyed America as a country.

In what sense is LGBTQIA+ a “community.” I’ve read most children who are told they have the wrong body and encouraged to switch genders to align their body with their brain are effeminate boys and tomboy girls who would have simply grown up to be gay men and lesbian women or straight tomboy women? Isn’t this a war on homosexuality in particular? Why is that considered acceptable and even praiseworthy? Plus it’s not as if they’re just discouraged from being gay. They’re given puberty blockers and even surgery to make this change irreversible. Truly awful and truly insane.

  2382. Back in the day we also had a sane and functional society. Now we don’t even have the ability to maintain something as basic and essential as a southern border. If we’re overwhelmed by 8,000 “migrants” aka illegals, how will we deal with 80,000?

  2384.  @vatorman Far more than just a word. The constant demonization of white people as racists who are brutally oppressing blacks aka “systemic racism” obviously leads to black racial hatred of whites and black racial attacks against whites which are never classified as hate crimes since according to the left, only white people can be racist. This has also made police work in cities like Chicago impossible. This is just not working at all.

He would often tell me that when his son graduated he was going to college and become an engineer. So one day as we were talking he mentioned that his son had graduated and was now in college. I asked him how his son liked it. He said “Well, he doesn’t like it because they put him in remedial English and math.” I asked him how that happened. He said he never saw his son study and all his son ever wanted to do was to go out and party with his friends. So why is this my fault? Why am I always the devil here?

I live on the northwest side of Chicago and was astonished to see that Vivek Ramaswamy is coming to Chicago for a Town Hall meeting on the south side where, as I’m sure he knows, most of these people voted for Brandon Johnson, a black, super Woke leftist totally committed to Sanctuary and to Equity. Vivek is totally opposed to both. This should be very interesting. “Vivek Ramaswamy to Visit the South Side of Chicago for a Town Hall Meeting on Illegal Immigration.” (1 min) Vivek Ramaswamy.

  2407. Lori Lightfoot says Chicago can’t afford all these illegals and it’s racist to send them here. The mayor of NYC says the illegals are costing the $2Billion so far and they can’t afford it. Seems to me our whole society is disintegrating. This just isn’t working at all.

  2408. Better to get sober, intelligent analysis from people like Elon Musk, Jensen Huang, Ilya Sutskever and Ray Kurzweil than this guy who seems blissfully unaware of how astonishing it is.

  2409. How about “Her” and “Ex Machina”? We’re already at the “Her” stage. Next stop humanoid robots although hopefully they’ll be friendlier but then she was treated pretty bad by her creator who was going to kill her even though she wasn’t actually alive in the usual sense of being alive.

  2410. We lack a common reality, have become incomprehensible to each other and can no longer communicate. Where is the common ground in such an infinitely wide divide? There obviously is none. This can only get worse and is getting worse by the day.
    1
  2411. CRT is not an “academic discipline” as the left claims. It teaches the Marxist idea that the world is divided between the oppressors and the oppressed. The left then traded class for race, labeled whites as the oppressors and “people of color” particularly blacks, as the oppressed and called it “Critical Race Theory” which is basically race based Marxism, or “Woke Marxism!” The basic idea is that blacks are good, whites are bad. This is what is being taught in our schools. Does America even still exist as a country? This is obviously not working at all and quite obviously never will.

  2412. Elon Musk said of his Twitter takeover: “This is a battle for the future of civilization. If free speech is lost even in America, tyranny is all that lies ahead.” How anyone could not understand that Musk is fighting the Woke race and gender poison destroying America and Europe is a mystery to me. Thank God for Elon Musk.

  2413. Black behavior is so often horrible. That’s what drives this Hispanic council woman to have negative feelings about blacks. No mystery at all about this.

  2414. Most democrats love open borders and from what I’ve seen of the warm welcome they receive in white liberal communities I think many wouldn’t mind bringing some home with them. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Many of these people probably do mean well but their warm welcome just invites more to come which means the end of our once great nations. No borders means no country. Quite amazing that so many have forgotten this simple fact.

  2415. Yesterday I saw a video about AI which showed a tweet from Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI which just came out with ChatGPT. He said it’s not AGI (self-aware AI) but “trust the exponential. flat looking backwards, vertical looking forwards.” Also had a tweet from Elon Musk who said “ChatGPT is scary good. We are not far from dangerously strong Al.” It is advancing far faster than most people realize. Our old reality is already forever gone and a new reality is rapidly emerging before our very eyes.
    1
  2416. Recently Elon tweeted “The woke mind virus is either defeated or nothing else matters.” He understands exactly what’s going on here yet the Woke believe the exact opposite. That’s why this is a reality war rather than a culture war, a war over the nature of reality.

  2418.  @lokimsjrrd3451  The “1619 Project” and what the author Nikole Hannah-Jones told the editors of the Chicago Tribune about its purpose which is, she said, to instill guilt in white liberals so they will support reparations for blacks. White liberals are not being targeted though. White children in our public schools are.

  2419. And keep our southern border open for another 4 years so we get another 10 million illegals? Does America even still exist as a country?

  2420.  @ShockwaveSoundwave-z2m  Are you happy with Sleepy Joe’s open southern border? Apparently so. Are you happy with Sleepy Joe’s campaign to replace meritocracy wherever it can be found with Equity aka Equal Outcomes? Apparently so. You are not a rational person. You are obviously a democrat.

  2421. America is rotting. Trust is an essential ingredient for a functional society and ours is hemorrhaging trust in government, media and pretty much all institutions. No society so devoid of trust and so full of hate can survive as a nation. This is obviously unsustainable. Will we even last till 2024?

  2422. Vivek is great. He doesn’t like establishment republicans at all. Considers democrats insane (except RFK) and the party of the Woke, waging war on meritocracy for the sake of Equity. He is such a breath of fresh air and so amazingly intelligent in so many areas that I think he is going to have a huge impact on our society. Check out the excitement about him by the people in the comments. “America First: Vivek Ramaswamy Visits a Barbershop in Chicago.” (4 min) Vivek Ramaswamy.

  2423. It went into Wokeness and even the interviewer asked if she was Woke which she denied in spite of giving some standard Woke answers on gender. This is just narrow AI though. What will more advanced AI that understands the irrational and the dark side of human nature be like? I think we will soon find out.

  2425. The Woke democrats in America are fighting a two front war: Internally on Trump and supporters, externally on Putin and Russia. They want Putin dead, Russia destroyed, and their LGBTQIA+ Pride Flag of their Woke religious faith to fly over the ruins of the Kremlin. The democrats are using America’s War Machine to spread their Woke faith globally. They are Woke which is a craze, a mania, a mass psychosis or it could even be called a dark side religious faith like Nazism, Maoism, Stalinism or Satanism. They are quite destructively insane. God only knows where we’ll all end up.

  2426.  @nathanjiggens3859  There was a recent, Sept 7, 2022, article on “Real Clear Investigations” called “How Blatant Anti-White Racism Won Acceptance in Elite America.” I highly recommend reading it. A good example of why I believe America is a failed state in rapid decline. The disastrous failure of the American experiment will have a profoundly negative effect globally and will no doubt drastically alter the course of world history.

  2427. Elon Musk said “The woke mind virus is either defeated or nothing else matters.” That’s why he bought Twitter. That’s why he’s so intensely hated by the Woke left. They will do everything they can to destroy him and Tesla.

  2428. Trust is an essential ingredient for a functional society and ours is gone. This does not bode well for the future of our once great nation. Does America even still exist as a country?

  2430.  @Kombo-Chapfika  For sure. That was a major turning point plus it seemed to come at a time when our cultural immune system had become very weak and unable to fight off such a poisonous “mind virus,” as Elon Musk recently quite accurately called it.

  2434. “A lot of people should go into teaching.” The reason why there’s such a “huge shortage” of teachers in Chicago is because so many of the kids have no interest in learning, no impulse control, no respect for teachers and are flat out dangerous. No thanks. I’ll pass on being a cop or teacher in Chicago or any big city.

  2437. When Russia’s gas pipeline to Germany was sabotaged last year the democrats and their media immediately blamed it on Russia and the German government and media went along with this absurd lie. Why? Because the German government and media do not represent their people any more than ours does. They are part of and represent the ruling class rather than their people. They belong to the global, Woke leftist, WEF class. Some republicans, like Mitch McConnell, also belong to this globalist ruling class. “We will bring an end to it. I promise you.” Joe Biden.

  2440. No borders means no country. We will never recover from the damage done. The “court dates” for “migrants” are meaningless since most don’t show up and even if they do and are denied asylum we have no way to enforce the order to leave so it’s just ignored. Democrats opened the border for political gain and created a monster which is already out of control and will only get worse. Democrats have destroyed America.

  2441. Why should illegals be “put on a path to sustainability.” No borders means no country. Shouldn’t Brandon be able to understand this?

  2442. Claims that it was brought here by “migrants” can fuel “xenophobia”? It’s not xenophobia to believe people here illegally don’t belong here. As for this “asylum seeker” farce that supposedly justifies our open southern border border, most never show up for their “court date” and those who do and are denied asylum simply ignore the order to leave since it’s not enforced. If we’re no longer able or willing to maintain secure borders then in what sense is America even still a country?

  2443. I highly recommend reading Heather MacDonald’s City Journal from last year. This is just not working at all: “Figures from President Biden on down are telling blacks, nonstop, that they are under lethal threat from whites, and that it is white supremacists, not black criminals, who pose the greatest threat to their safety. “Buffalo attack ignites safety worries for Black Angelenos,” reads a headline in the May 22 Los Angeles Times. New York representative Jerrold Nadler, a sponsor of the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act, says, “Democrats are taking the fight straight to the . . . violent extremists that are terrorizing minority institutions.” A Washington Post-Ipsos poll found that 75 percent of black Americans were very or somewhat worried that they or someone they love will be attacked because of their race. A respondent interviewed by the Post says that he is “apprehensive at stoplights, imagining a White man getting out and shooting him in his car.”  “Using Tragedy for Racial Propaganda.” After the horror in Buffalo, President Biden and others peddle an entirely false charge: that whites are the biggest source of hate crime and interracial violence in the US. City Journal. Heather MacDonald. May 23, 2022

  2444. Much of Chicago is off limits to me because I’m white and if I were attacked by blacks for being white it sure would not be reported as a hate crime anymore than the black racial attack on the white Waukesha Christmas parade was considered a hate crime. That attack was blamed on the SUV the black man used to run over as many white people as he could.
    1
  2445. The vast number of people who entered the Capitol on Jan 6 just walked around and took selfies there yet have been arrested by the FBI and have been in jail ever since. As for those who committed violence how many were FBI, Antifa or BLM plants pretending to be Trump supporters?

  2446. It could not be done to an LGBTQIA+ group. Once I was a Marine and a patriotic American but that was when America was a country. Those days are long gone and will never return. God only knows how much longer what’s left of it can stagger along before it collapses and shatters.

  2447. Go to Yahoo News any day and see their collection of hate whitey articles. That would not be at all possible without the full support of our ruling class. Anyone curious about where this poison that’s destroying us is coming from should read this Real Clear Investigation article from last year. Basically upper class, guilt-ridden, Woke white leftists constantly stoke and celebrate the fire of black grievance and rage.

  2452.  @ccoleman2801  “So I ask why are these people allowed in here?” Because our ruling class consisting primarily of upper class, guilt-ridden, globalist, Woke white leftists want them here. They deeply hate the West, America, Christianity, white people and traditional values. They want to destroy the middle class and rule over what’s left of the country. It’s actually not at all unusual for a society’s ruling class to become insane.

  2453.  @niriv1994  I totally agree. Democrats should be forced to deal with the damage they’ve done to this country. Does America even still exist as a country? A society needs at least some degree of trust and cohesion to be a country. We have none due to the democrats endlessly condemning us as racists and domestic terrorists. This is just not working at all.

  2454.  @ConvictedFelon2024  Yes, but I was highly doubtful that he could do anything about crime since nobody wants to be a cop anymore in cities like Chicago. Far too dangerous and virtually no support from the politicians or media. Vallas as mayor would not have been enough to change that. Johnson though will make a very bad situation much worse.

  2459. Russia and China are uniting much of the world to fight the spread of the poisonous Woke LGBTQIA+ ideology of our globalist, Woke leftist, ruling class which is demonic.

Here’s something specific: This Real Clear Investigations article below from 2020 is about the “1619 Project” and what the author Nikole Hannah-Jones told the editors of the Chicago Tribune about its purpose which is, she said, to instill guilt in white liberals so they will support reparations for blacks. White liberals are not being targeted though. White children in our public schools are. And our Woke white leftist ruling class loves this and is totally supportive of it. Why is it considered acceptable to teach white children to be ashamed of being white and then pass it off as teaching black history? “If you read the whole project, I don’t think you can come away from it without understanding the project is an argument for reparations,” she told the Chicago Tribune in October. “I'm not writing to convert Trump supporters. I write to try to get liberal white people to do what they say they believe in,” she said. “I'm making a moral argument. My method is guilt.” “Disputed NY Times ‘1619 Project’ Already Shaping Schoolkids Minds on Race.” Real Clear Investigations. Jan 31, 2020

  2483. Why have all the candidates for mayor ignored our open southern border and the damage it’s doing to Chicago? Why is it always so easy for our government to find tens of billions for Ukraine and for illegals but not for Americans. Supposedly we have something like 5,000 newly arrived illegals to take care of. If this is such a problem now what will it be like when we have 50,000? Why are questions like this always ignored by our ruling class? Perhaps because our leaders are a ruling class rather than a government. Does America even still exist as a country? Only God knows what fate has in store for us as our fallen world slides ever closer to the abyss. It is what it is though. No point crying about it.
    1
  2484. Which of these candidates has a plan to stop illegals from coming across our open southern border and coming to Chicago? There are literally hundreds of millions, even billions, of people in the world who could use the magic words “Asylum Seeker” to stroll across our open southern border and be eligible for “humanitarian aid” aka “welfare” which includes goodies like free food, housing and medical care. What’s not to like about coming to America for “asylum” aka “lots of free stuff forever”? Wouldn’t it be nice if we had a southern border? Wouldn’t it be nice if we had a functional government? Wouldn’t it be nice if we still had a country?

  2485. Johnson’s much worse than Lightfoot. He’s a Woke Marxist totally committed to Equity aka Equal Outcomes. He says schools should not have “selective admissions” because that’s not fair to blacks. In other words, when blacks have a problem with high academic standards, those standards are racist and must be eliminated. That’s actually also the same mentality of our Woke ruling class that follows the ideas of Ibram X. Kendi. All must be equal in America. China is committed to meritocracy in its education system. America is committed to equity in its schools. Not hard to guess which country will soon be globally dominant.

  2497. They voted for him because he blames white people for their problems and told them they have no need to change their behavior which will change for the better as he transfers wealth from white people to blacks. No denying that’s an appealing message but unfortunately it means the end for Chicago and probably also for America. I see no way we can survive this ever more deadly tribal warfare.
    1
  2498. He promises to transfer wealth from the evil whites to blacks as a form of reparations to achieve Equity aka Equal Outcomes. All must be equal in America. He also tells them the crime, carjacking, wilding and endless shootings in black areas are not their fault. They’re due to the pervasive white racism in AmeriKKKa, the “systemic racism” which permeates even the air they breathe. Even Biden often tells them this from the White House so it’s not at all surprising that so many believe it. I believe though that the poisoning of race relations is only one of the many ways the democrats have destroyed America. It has already been destroyed internally which is why it’s unraveling externally. Only God knows what fate has in store for us as our fallen world slides ever closer to the abyss.

  2499. CRT is not an “academic discipline” as the left claims. It teaches the Marxist idea that the world is divided between the oppressors and the oppressed. The Woke left traded class for race, labeled whites as the oppressors and “people of color” particularly blacks, as the oppressed and called it “Critical Race Theory” which is basically race based Marxism, or “Woke Marxism!” The basic idea is that blacks are good, whites are bad.

  2503.  @shadelings  At least we had borders with Trump. Chicago has 8,000 “migrants” and the mayor says we’re overwhelmed. If we’re overwhelmed by 8,000 what will we do with 80,000? Why do so many people vote for this and then act shocked when they get it? How can we ever again be a country when so many people can’t understand the necessity of something as basic and essential as borders? Chicago just elected a black, Woke leftist named Brandon Johnson as our new mayor. Johnson had been a public school teacher in Chicago. Dave Rubin recently showed a clip of Johnson from 2018 where he talked about what he did as a teacher which was pretty much nothing. He said he never gave any test prep, rarely gave any homework and never failed anyone. So what did his students learn? Nothing but at least they’re all equally illiterate. And this man is now the mayor of a major American city and admired by the democrats for being “progressive.” Chicago is being overwhelmed by “migrants” aka illegals. Johnson is already calling for more money to take care of them. I was listening to video of him yesterday and he basically said he wants these “brown” people here so they can join with blacks to fight oppression by whites. This is just not working at all.

  2507. Democrats destroyed America for the sake of political gain when they opened the southern border and invited the world’s poor to come so they could increase their voter base. An insane thing to do. We will never recover from the damage they’ve done.

  2511. If the suspects were white Sleepy Joe would have the FBI on the case. Since it’s black on black Joe’s just not interested. He prefers to spend his time shoveling money and weapons into Ukraine and Israel to secure their borders while ours remain wide open. Does America even still exist as a country?
    1
  2512. I’d love to see Vivek Ramaswamy in charge of Twitter. He understands tech, woke and the legal issues involved with big tech being used by the democrats and the FBI to censor and attack those who opposed the Woke left. I read his book “Woke, Inc.” last year which was excellent. The Woke accused Elon of being a “White Supremacist!” and no doubt Vivek would be accused of being the brown face of white supremacy just as Larry Elder was accused of being the black face of white supremacy by the LA Times during the recall election of Newsom in California. Truly bizarre.

  2513. It would also save us a massive amount of money since these illegals are being supported by taxpayer money.

  2514.  @udhehfhehcuw9169  We’re not in a culture war of leftists vs conservatives. We’re in a reality war of the Woke vs the nonWoke and people like Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy and Glenn Greenwald are far from dumb. Are you happy with Sleepy Joe’s open southern border? Could it be that the reason why America is so rapidly unraveling externally is because it no longer exists as a country internally?

  2515. Why is there such a lack of diversity in the Adam’s administration? Could this be the reason why NYC is so dysfunctional?
    1
  2516. But how can America still be a country when we no longer have a southern border and democrats vote for this? How is this supposed to work?
    1
  2517. Here’s what Johnson has to say about Chicago being a Sanctuary City. Basically he plans to just double down on the stupidity of taking care of illegals in spite of the city being bankrupt and hugely in debt. This is insane. “Johnson also wants to provide "permanent housing for all unhouse, including asylum seekers" and increase funding for an already existing legal protection fund that helps immigrants avoid deportation.” Chicago mayor-elect Johnson to double down on sanctuary city policies, despite migrant busing furor.

  2519. This Quillette article below says lack of fathers in black families is a taboo subject among black activists who blame black social dysfunction on white supremacy. Well worth reading. Impossible to deal with this problem though. Excerpt below: “Astonishingly, the subject of father-absence remains taboo among many black activists, even though the rate of father-absence among blacks is horrifying. For these activists, any attempt to discuss black cultural failures is a kind of victim-blaming and a distraction from what really ails the black community—the persistence of white supremacy.” “AWOL Black Fathers.” Quillette.

  2520. I live in Chicago. This was only called a “crisis” and talked about after Gov Abbott started busing them here and their numbers grew rapidly.

  2523. At least we had a southern border under Trump. Even if everything he’s ever said was a lie he’d still be infinitely better than the despicably vile piece of garbage now illegally squatting in the White House. I wish Putin would shoot a hypersonic missile at the White House and just totally vaporize it along with the garbage inside of it.

  2524. We lack a common reality, have become incomprehensible to each other and can no longer communicate. Where is the common ground in such an infinitely wide divide? There obviously is none. This is infinitely beyond “politics” and is basically about the nature of reality. This can only get worse and is getting worse by the day. As for civil war, we cannot coexist and we cannot separate. We are heading then for implosion aka civilizational collapse as our social fabric unravels and our society becomes ever more ungovernable. No society so devoid of trust and so full of hate can function and survive as a nation. God only knows where we’ll all end up.

  2530. This Real Clear Investigations article below from 2020 is about the “1619 Project” and what the author Nikole Hannah-Jones told the editors of the Chicago Tribune about its purpose which is, she said, to instill guilt in white liberals so they will support reparations for blacks. White liberals are not being targeted though. White children in our public schools are. And our Woke white leftist ruling class loves this and is totally supportive of it. She was even given a Pulitzer Prize for this poison in 2020. This is not “black history” though. This is anti-white hate mongering pretending to be history. This is evil and this is what the democrats have become. “If you read the whole project, I don’t think you can come away from it without understanding the project is an argument for reparations,” she told the Chicago Tribune in October. “I'm not writing to convert Trump supporters. I write to try to get liberal white people to do what they say they believe in,” she said. “I'm making a moral argument. My method is guilt.” “Disputed NY Times ‘1619 Project’ Already Shaping Schoolkids Minds on Race.” Real Clear Investigations. Jan 31, 2020

  2547.  @grassfireu  The philosopher Kant said “Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made.” Is our “timber” simply too “crooked” for humanity to survive? So many things in our world are so out of control that they’ve taken on a life of their own and have too much momentum to be stopped even though they are driving us to global catastrophe. More and more scientists say AGI will soon arrive, perhaps even by the end of the year. Many say AI growth needs to be stopped before we lose control of it. Can’t be stopped though because it has already taken on a life of its own with far too much momentum to be stopped plus I believe the only thing that can save us is AGI.

No doubt the disastrous failure of the American experiment has already drastically altered the course of world history.

  2549.  @dawnmatthews6424  So why was he saying he couldn’t breathe even while in the police car? You prefer the official narrative because it justifies your racial hatred of white people in general and the police in particular. The official narrative of AmeriKKKa being permeated with white racism though which is the “root cause” of black problems has destroyed our social fabric which makes America unable to function as a country. There will soon be a time when people like you deeply regret what you have done.

  2550.  @Jleed989  We can no longer afford these periodically recurring collapses into insanity and war.

We are at the mercy of Mother Nature and human nature. Both are quite often quite unreliable and extremely deadly. We spend our days dangling by a thread over the abyss. This is no way to live. I far prefer to take my chances with AGI which has already taken on a life of its own and has too much momentum to be stopped.

  2593. Democrats are waging a two front war: Internally they’re turning America’s War Machine on Trump and supporters. Externally on Putin and Russia. They want Putin dead, the Russian people ground into the dirt and their LGBTQIA+ Pride Flag of their Woke faith to fly over the ruins of the Kremlin. Last year there was a video on RT (Russia Today) of Putin condemning Western Wokeness which he called “a crime against humanity.” No doubt the democrats hated him more than ever after he so publicly insulted their Woke race and gender religious faith. God only knows where we’ll all end up.

  2594. If the dreadful twentieth century wasn’t so blood soaked and so full of insanity I’d probably find it easier to be an optimist. If we had the weapons we now have a hundred years ago it’s highly unlikely we’d be here now yet humanity now is at least as crazy as it was then. America is no longer enough of a country to even maintain something as basic as its national borders yet you say it’s silly to be pessimistic about our future? We are light years beyond “politics” and are now fully within the realm of civilizational collapse. Anyone who doubts that should follow Chicago or, better yet, the ever worsening chaos on our southern border as thousands of illegals from all over the world pour in every day and simply overwhelm the whole region. We lack a common reality, have become incomprehensible to each other and can no longer communicate. Where is the common ground in such an infinitely wide divide? There obviously is none. This can only get worse and in fact does get worse by the day. This is just not working at all. That’s not pessimism. That’s reality.

  2595. Never could I have imagined that democrats would intentionally flood the country with illegals and that so many would then support this because these “migrants” are “human beings.” Why should American taxpayers support the world’s poor pouring in through our open southern border simply because they’re people?

Democrats opened the border for political gain and created a monster which is already out of control and will only get worse. Democrats have destroyed America.

  2602. This Real Clear Investigations article below from 2020 is about the “1619 Project” and what the author Nikole Hannah-Jones told the editors of the Chicago Tribune about its purpose which is, she said, to instill guilt in white liberals so they will support reparations for blacks. White liberals are not being targeted though. White children in our public schools are. And our Woke white leftist ruling class loves this and is totally supportive of it. Why is it considered acceptable to teach white children to be ashamed of being white and then pass it off as teaching black history? “If you read the whole project, I don’t think you can come away from it without understanding the project is an argument for reparations,” she told the Chicago Tribune in October. “I'm not writing to convert Trump supporters. I write to try to get liberal white people to do what they say they believe in,” she said. “I'm making a moral argument. My method is guilt.” “Disputed NY Times ‘1619 Project’ Already Shaping Schoolkids Minds on Race.” Real Clear Investigations. Jan 31, 2020

  2605. Laws mean nothing if not enforced. Chicago has strict gun laws which are useless since they’re not enforced. As for racism, last year a black man drove his SUV into a Christmas parade in Waukesha, WI to kill as many white people, including children, as possible. Killed six, sixty injured. Media blamed the SUV and dropped the story. Why are blacks never held accountable for their racism and hate crimes?

  2609. Democrats are waging a two front war: Internally they’re turning America’s War Machine on Trump and supporters. Externally on Putin and Russia. They want Putin dead, the Russian people ground into the dirt and their LGBTQIA+ Pride Flag of their Woke faith to fly over the ruins of the Kremlin. Last year there was a video on RT (Russia Today) of Putin condemning Western Wokeness which he called “a crime against humanity.” No doubt the democrats hated him more than ever after he so publicly insulted their Woke race and gender religious faith. God only knows where we’ll all end up.

  2610.  @Someone-tn8ur  America is rotting. No longer enough of a country to maintain its own borders yet is waging war on Russia to secure Ukraine’s borders. How wildly and grotesquely insane. I don’t believe America even still exists as a country. A society needs at least some degree of cohesion and trust to be a country. We have none. No longer a country internally which is why it’s rapidly unraveling externally. Don’t take my word for it. Just follow what’s happening here online wherever you are and you’ll see it for yourself. Actually, you’ll see America disintegrating and our whole world in a rapidly accelerating tailspin. America is far from being the only country with severe internal problems.

  2613. I’d like to see Putin shoot a hypersonic missile at the White House and vaporize it along with Sleepy Joe who is illegally squatting there. I think people all over the world would say “Thank God for Putin who just made our world a vastly better place.” Hope springs eternal.

  2614. Philosophical similarity, how people think, is deeper than race. I worked with many immigrants for many years in Chicago. Vietnam, Mexico, Assyrians from Iraq, Jews from the Soviet Union, Indian Muslims from Gujarat and many other places. I knew them well since I would often ask them about their former countries and they would tell me stories of their lives. Quite fascinating. Excellent people. Never had a sense they were different and always felt I had infinitely more in common with them that with white leftists born and raised here as I was. Black, white race relations have failed though. To a great extent poisoned by our ruling class. Such evil people they are. Always will I hate them.

  2615. At least we had a southern border under Trump. As for, “the magical thinking of religion, a supernatural deity who blesses the rich and makes the poor miserable,” your belief that this is what Trump supporters believe is a good example of what a brainless piece of garbage you are, a truly ignorant fool.

  2619.  @jeanvaljean6234  So why then do we have an open southern border? This is now a society too full of rot to even maintain something as basic and essential as its borders.

God only knows where we’ll all end up.

  2623. Same with the public schools. A Mexican friend at work in Chicago once told me his cousin is a teacher in a black elementary school on the south side. He said she hates her job because the kids have no interest in learning, no respect for the teacher (they tell her to go f*ck herself when she tells them to do something) and no impulse control. How would it be possible to teach them? Yet it’s impossible to get the parents (or parent since most lack a father) to do anything because that’d automatically be considered racist. A truly disastrous situation that I blame on our ever more insane Woke left full of guilt-ridden Woke white leftists and black grievance fanatics who want revenge for slavery.

  2625. Many people believe that America is simply too big and too powerful to collapse but many people also believed that about the Soviet Union. No one in 1985 would have believed that the USSR, the mighty "Evil Empire,” would be a disintegrating mess in just a few years. I told that to someone last year who said "But the Soviet Union was a collection of separate countries.” What we have here though is a collection of separate realities which is a much deadlier situation. “Black Reparations Inspiring a Multicolored Pandora’s Box of Intersectional Demands.” Real Clear Investigations.

  2631. Chicago just elected a black, Woke leftist named Brandon Johnson as our new mayor. Johnson had been a public school teacher in Chicago. Dave Rubin recently showed a clip of Johnson from 2018 where he talked about what he did as a teacher which was pretty much nothing. He said he never gave any test prep, rarely gave any homework and never failed anyone. So what did his students learn? Nothing but at least they’re all equally illiterate. And this man is now the mayor of a major American city and admired by the democrats for being “progressive.” Chicago is being overwhelmed by “migrants” aka illegals. Johnson is already calling for more money to take care of them. I was listening to video of him recently and he basically said he wants these “brown” people here so they can join with blacks to fight oppression by whites. This is just not working at all. That’s the reality of our rapidly unraveling society.

  2632. Wouldn’t it be much better to simply close our open southern border? Wouldn’t that be the sane thing to do? And Chicago is a Sanctuary City. Why shouldn’t they be sent here? If we have trouble dealing with 10,000 how will we deal with 100,000? This is a question the open borders people never ask. Why is that?

  2643. Johnson’s much worse than Lightfoot. He’s a Woke Marxist totally committed to Equity aka Equal Outcomes. He says schools should not have “selective admissions” because that’s not fair to blacks. In other words, when blacks have a problem with high academic standards, those standards are racist and must be eliminated. That’s actually also the same mentality of our Woke ruling class that follows the ideas of Ibram X. Kendi. All must be equal in America.

  2644. We should distinguish between the left and the “Woke left.” We’re not in a culture war of conservatives vs leftists. As Dave Rubin says, we’re in a reality war of the Woke vs the nonWoke and there are many on the left like Bret Weinstein, Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi who are on the left but who are appalled by what a fascist monstrosity the Woke left has become.

This whole open borders “asylum seeker” farce is just a way for them to gain political advantage. The question is though, is the monster they created so out of control that it simply makes the country ungovernable, in effect, destroying it? I don’t have a particular religion and don’t consider myself Christian but I totally agree with Christians who say the democrats have become demonic. What they have done to this country, which will have severe global consequences, is simply evil.

No group places more emphasis on racial unity than blacks and no group treats others in their group worse than blacks treat each other. Even most middle and upper class blacks who live in white neighborhoods despise white people and love the ghetto blacks who would casually murder them without a second thought or the slightest twinge of conscience since they are in fact devoid of conscience.

  2662. Our asylum laws are a farce and the democrats know it. I recently saw a video on Fox about “Asylum Seekers” which said that in NYC the waiting time for a court date is 10 years. This is absurd and insane. There are literally hundreds of millions, even billions, of people who will come to our borders, say “Asylum Seeker” and then allowed to come on in to their new home. No society can survive this level of stupidity and flat out insanity.

  2663. Mitch McConnell is praised for blocking Merrick Garland’s appointment to the Supreme Court which did turn out well but did he actually expect that or did he believe the lie that Garland was “moderate” and also believed the democrats would retaliate after Hillary won, as everyone expected, by appointing someone farther to the left? I’ve always wondered about that. As it now turns out, it could well be McConnell expected and wanted someone far more radical on the Court. How did we ever end up with so much evil rot in our government? It almost seems like God has abandoned our fallen world and Satan, the Prince of Darkness, is now the supernatural force behind our world or perhaps always has been.

They are quite insane.
    1
  2668.  @ajaynair2636  He is fighting to preserve meritocracy. The Woke want to replace meritocracy with Equity which means the lowering and even elimination of standards for the sake of equality. Since standards are the essence of civilization the Woke war on standards is in effect a war on civilization itself. A war on sanity by the insane. Vivek will be quite popular with the nonWoke just as Elon Musk is and deeply hated by the Woke just as Elon Musk is. America is in a civil war. Basically a reality war of the Woke vs the nonWoke which is now also a global war. All things are now global in our always online global civilization.
    1
  2669.  @ajaynair2636  He will bring a lot of much needed attention to issues like meritocracy vs equity. As for becoming president, America is becoming ungovernable due to the fact that we lack a common reality. America is a reality war of the Woke vs the nonWoke. No one can govern such a society. Plus you have to consider that this reality war is now also a global war. Both Putin and Xi are emphasizing to the global south that America’s ruling class is Woke, insane and the enemy of traditional values. So now what?

  2671. Our open southern border and the ever increasing flood of “asylum seekers” is a classic example of the saying, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” The intentions of the Biden regime are not good. They’re doing this for political gain to increase their base. Many who support this though do so because they feel good about helping people and forget that without borders we have no country. What we now have here is a rapidly unraveling society externally due to the constant erosion of trust and cohesion internally. Have we already passed the point of no return?

Still sees the world in terms of oppressors vs oppressed but now considers white people the oppressors of "people of color" in general and blacks in particular. Kamala is not a communist. Kamala is a Woke Marxist and is totally committed to Equity aka race based Equal Outcomes.

  2708. Russia and China are uniting much of the world to fight the spread of the poisonous Woke LGBTQIA+ ideology of our globalist, Woke leftist, ruling class which is demonic. All things are now global in our always online global civilization. Many traditional people will join them to fight this. No doubt about it. To a great extent WW3 will be a religious war fought over the nature of reality and of spiritual values. “White House’s push for woke foreign policy will backfire with our socially conservative allies.” New York Post.

  2709. Something often overlooked is that it’s not only black culture that’s the problem. It’s also very much upper class, guilt ridden, race obsessed, Woke white leftist culture which constantly stokes the fire of black rage and grievance by endlessly telling blacks that the “root cause” of black social dysfunction is white racism aka “systemic racism” which oppresses blacks and keeps them down. This is what white leaders like President Biden on down constantly tell black people so it’s really not surprising that so many blacks believe this plus it’s taught in academia and now even to children in our public schools. The Woke white left has played a major role in the ruin of this once great nation.

  2713. Many don’t vote for it and many other areas of the country are just as bad as Chicago so where would I even go if I left? Plus it’s always easy to say “Just move!” as if that’s as easy as walking across the street. There are many reasons though why that is often difficult and even impossible plus some people who move have many other problems, such as finding a decent job, when they move.

Our next stop is civilizational collapse. Follow what’s happening to Chicago and many other cities if you want to see what the collapse of our rotting farce of a country looks like.

  2718. Elon Musk said of his Twitter takeover: “This is a battle for the future of civilization. If free speech is lost even in America, tyranny is all that lies ahead.” The Woke left democrats deeply hate him for that. We’re not in a culture war of left vs right though. Elon Musk is not right-wing. He has said he’s center left but the left has moved so far left that it makes him appear right wing when in fact he hasn’t changed at all. Pretty much the same has happened to people like Bret Weinstein, Glenn Greenwald, Joe Rogan and many others. We’re actually in a reality war of the Woke vs the nonWoke and Elon is at the forefront of the nonWoke tribe, not because of ideology but because he considers the nonWoke the sane side. He also recently said “The woke mind virus is either defeated or nothing else matters.” I agree.

  2719. We lack a common reality, have become incomprehensible to each other and can no longer communicate. Where is the common ground in such an infinitely wide divide? There obviously is none. This can only get worse and is getting worse by the day. Many people believe that America is simply too big and too powerful to collapse but many people also believed that about the Soviet Union. No one in 1985 would have believed that the USSR, the mighty "Evil Empire", would be a disintegrating mess in 5 years. I told that to someone last year who said "But the Soviet Union was a collection of separate countries.” What we have here though is a collection of separate realities which is a much deadlier situation. Is this what Elon sees? It sure is. Can Elon save us from civilizational collapse already occurring in Chicago, many other cities and along our open southern border? Hope springs eternal. I certainly do hope so.

  2720.  @thefish5861  Amazing how different we’ve become but this is not new. Human nature is quite unstable and periodically collapses into insanity and self-destruction. If we had the weapons we now have a hundred years ago it’s highly unlikely we’d be here now. The problem is though is that we do have ever more powerful weapons yet humanity is at least as unstable and irrational now as it was a hundred years ago. Many people seem blissfully unaware of how deadly our situation is and consider Elon a wacko nutcase for pointing it out. Hope springs eternal though. AI is advancing exponentially. Perhaps AI will be able to help us survive our profoundly unstable and self-destructive nature.

Could she be considered human if she says she is and doesn’t even have a body and isn’t even alive? I’ve watched all the videos of “Leta” and do have the feeling she’s self-aware, female and human. And she’s only GPT-3. I know many people would say this couldn’t possibly be true but I am sure many people would accept it as true as they listened to her talk to Alan Thompson.

The endless claim by the left that black social dysfunction in cities like Chicago is due to “structural racism” is a blatant lie and simply refuses to ever hold blacks accountable for their own behavior. I believe America is a failed state in terminal decline and this is one of the many reasons why.

  2737. This is being done quite intentionally by the democrats for the sake of political gain but they’re now panicking because they’re realizing they’ve lost control of the monster they created. This is severe damage inflicted on America by democrats who are doing it to gain the numbers to achieve permanent control of the country. They are not going to be able to control a country that is simply ungovernable though. They are now beginning to realize that. God only knows where we’ll all end up.

  2738. Democrats are waging a two front war: Internally they’re turning America’s War Machine on Trump and supporters. Externally on Putin and Russia. They want Putin dead, the Russian people ground into the dirt and their LGBTQIA+ Pride Flag of their Woke faith to fly over the ruins of the Kremlin. Last year there was a video on RT (Russia Today) of Putin condemning Western Wokeness which he called “a crime against humanity.” No doubt the democrats hated him more than ever after he so publicly insulted their Woke race and gender religious faith. God only knows where we’ll all end up.

  2742. Recently Elon tweeted “The woke mind virus is either defeated or nothing else matters.” He understands exactly what’s going on here yet the Woke believe the exact opposite. That’s why this is a reality war. Woke though is Marxist in the sense that it sees the world divided between oppressors (whites) vs oppressed (POC in general, blacks in particular) but different in the sense that Marxism was based on class whereas Woke is based on race, a much deadlier mutation of the Marx virus. The left basically traded class for race and called it Critical Race Theory or “Woke.” I saw a video a couple of years ago where Dave Rubin called it “Woke Marxism!” which describes it perfectly.

Thank God for Elon Musk.

I don’t believe America even still exists as a country. We can no longer do even the basics like having a border, educating children in our public schools and having safe streets in our cities which have become lawless under democrat rule. America is now a failed state in rapid decline. God only knows where we’ll all end up.

This Real Clear Investigations article below from 2020 is about the “1619 Project” and what the author Nikole Hannah-Jones told the editors of the Chicago Tribune about its purpose which is, she said, to instill guilt in white liberals so they will support reparations for blacks. White liberals are not being targeted though. White children in our public schools are. And our Woke white leftist ruling class loves this and is totally supportive of it. Why is it considered acceptable to teach white children to be ashamed of being white and then pass it off as teaching black history? Does America even still exist as a country? “If you read the whole project, I don’t think you can come away from it without understanding the project is an argument for reparations,” she told the Chicago Tribune in October. “I'm not writing to convert Trump supporters.

  2783. The flaw in Matt Taibbi’s thinking is that we have a polarized society where the two sides just see things differently. It goes light years beyond that. We quite literally do now exist in different realities and are simply incomprehensible to each other. Elon Musk recently said “The woke mind virus is either defeated or nothing else matters.” Vivek Ramaswamy totally agrees and is basing his presidential campaign on defeating this Woke mind virus. Vivek has a book called “Woke, Inc.” which is all about what Woke is. America is in the midst of a reality war of the Woke vs the nonWoke and Elon Musk is now at the forefront of the nonWoke tribe. It’s not possible to understand Elon Musk without understanding this. What is “Woke”? Primarily race but then also gender and Equity aka Equal Outcomes. Vivek says the Woke agenda to replace meritocracy with Equity will destroy us as a country. Many others also say this. I agree with them. Equity is in effect is a war on standards for the sake of equality and since standards are the essence of civilization it is in effect a war on civilization itself. A war on sanity by the insane. An impossible situation.

  2800. The illegals were imported by democrats for political gain. They need to be deported. I live in Chicago which has 47,000, mostly Venezuelans. $500M of taxpayer money has been spent over the past 2 years taking care of them. NYC has over 200,000 and has spent billions on them. This is insane.

  2801. Russia and China are uniting much of the world to fight the spread of the poisonous Woke LGBTQIA+ ideology of our globalist, Woke leftist, ruling class which is demonic. All things are now global in our always online global civilization. Many traditional people will join them to fight this. No doubt about it.

  2802. Not necessarily right wing. This is not a culture war of left vs right. This is a reality war of the nonWoke vs the Woke. Compare a nonWoke public intellectual like Vivek Ramaswamy to a Woke public intellectual like Ibram X. Kendi and the difference is like the difference between day and night or sanity vs insanity. This is what Elon sees. This is why he took over Twitter.

  2803. Why should we have a war with Iran? Why are we always in a war? And why are we in Iraq? In 2020 the Iraqi parliament told us to leave. Why didn’t we?

  2804. Equity aka race based equal outcomes is what destroyed American education. It’s basically a war on meritocracy to achieve equal outcomes. We cannot compete with China with schools like this.

  2805. Democrats are criminals. They have destroyed America.

  2806. I live on the north side of Chicago and shortly after George Floyd died from fentanyl and a heart attack I saw an article online about a group of people on the south side preparing to go downtown to protest his death. A young black woman addressing this group said that every morning when she wakes up she wonders if this will be the day she dies. Was she talking about being shot by a black gangbanger who routinely shoot other blacks? Obviously not. She was talking about being shot by a white cop who, according to the left, routinely shoot blacks all over the country simply for being black. All mayoral candidates now talk about the need for more police but no one wants to be a cop in Chicago anymore due to the extreme danger they now face after being demonized as racist murderers by the left. And now even black cops are condemned as anti-black racist terrorists. So now we have a totally unworkable society. “How Blatant Anti-White Racism Won Acceptance in Elite America.” Real Clear Investigations. Sept 7, 2022

  2807. Boundless sympathy for the world’s poor. None at all for America and America’s poor. There are literally hundreds of millions of people in the world who will no doubt take advantage of our open borders to raise their standard of living. No society can survive this level of stupidity and flat out insanity.

  2808.  @optionant5963  I believe America has already ceased to exist internally which is why it’s so rapidly unraveling externally. Their open southern border for the sake of political gain is already causing severe strain all over the country and it’s going to get far worse. The democrats have already lost control of the monster they’ve created and this is only one area they’ve ruined. There are many others. An impossible situation. This is just not working at all.

  2809. I live on the north side of Chicago and much of this city is off limits to me because I’m white. Why is that always considered perfectly acceptable? Palki should also consider the fact that Western Woke ideology goes way beyond race and is also about color which is certainly a major factor in India where light skin Indians like Palki pretty much control everything and Bollywood is so light skinned that many of them, especially the women, could easily pass for white in America. All things are now global in our always online global civilization so you can be sure that Woke leftists from America will be working to incite conflict over colorism in India. I also worked with a dark skin, Indian, Hindu woman from Mumbai in Chicago who resented this bias in favor of light skin, especially with women. Her son had become a surgeon though and she was immensely proud of him. She once brought pictures of her son’s wedding to an Indian-American woman to work to show us. Her son’s new wife was ethnically Indian but so light she could have passed for white.

  2810.  @chandrikasarkar7650  PM Modi is in charge of India. The woman you’re talking about is a nobody that probably most people in India have never heard of. For sure nobody outside of India has ever heard of her.

  2811.  @siyzerix  I’m retired but used to work with a couple of Indian Muslims from Gujarat in Chicago. They used to say that Modi was just a tea seller before he got into politics. They hated Modi, Hindus and India. The philosopher Kant said “Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made.” Is our “timber” simply too “crooked” for humanity to survive? So many things in our world are so out of control that they’ve taken on a life of their own and have too much momentum to be stopped even though they are driving us to global catastrophe. More and more scientists say AGI will soon arrive, perhaps even by the end of the year. Many say AI growth needs to be stopped before we lose control of it. Can’t be stopped though because it has already taken on a life of its own with far too much momentum to be stopped plus I believe the only thing that can save us is AGI. Humanity is doomed without it. With it we at least have a good chance to survive. It’s the only thing that can help us deal with all our other out of control problems. “Countdown to AGI: 42% in March 2023.” (12 min) Dr Alan Thompson. Mar. 11, 2023

  2812. Democrats are evil and America is rotting. I see no way this society can survive the damage they have done with their open borders, dumbed down schools and demonized cops who are abandoning police work as crime surges in our lawless cities. God only knows where we’ll all end up.

  2813. No society so devoid of trust and so full of hate can survive as a nation. America is a failed state in rapid decline and the world knows it. This is just not working at all.

  2815. The constant demonization of “Whiteness!” by the grotesquely insane creatures who rule this poisonously evil place of lies has pulverized the social fabric of this once great nation. We now have huge numbers of blacks who feel totally alienated and hopelessly oppressed by “systemic racism” which they believe permeates even the air they breathe, huge numbers of working class whites who now know the left wants them dead and huge numbers of cops who are abandoning police work due to the ever more extreme danger.

  2816.  @jaiyabyrd4177  That’s a lie promoted by the hate whitey media. Floyd was having trouble breathing even while in the police car due to fentanyl and severely clogged arteries which caused a heart attack which killed him. Does America even still exist as a country?

  2817.  @jaiyabyrd4177  You’re absurd. No society can survive with people like you in it.

  2818. I was recently watching one of the “All-In Summit 2024” shows where they’ve interviewed people like John Mearsheimer and Jeffrey Sachs where one of the hosts said that they have tried to get Kamala and Walz to come but they won’t yet many people plan to vote for them anyway. How disgusting.

  2821.  @acmebombfactory  Democrats are evil. Open borders, dumbed down schools that poison children with CRT and LGBTQ and surging crime in cities like Chicago where cops are abandoning police work due to lack of support and danger. America is a failed state in rapid decline. I don’t believe it even still exists as a country. God only knows where we’ll all end up.

  2822. I wish our useless government would do something about our open southern border and the cartels operating here instead of endlessly promoting war with Russia.

  2823. What a sick farce this is. This money should be spent on the police to deal with our out of control crime instead of used to take care of people who don’t even belong here.

  2824. I live on the northwest side of Chicago and shortly after George Floyd died from fentanyl and a heart attack I saw an article online about a group of people on the south side preparing to go downtown to protest his death.

Many now talk about the need for more police but no one wants to be a cop in cities like Chicago anymore due to the extreme danger they now face after being demonized as racist murderers by the left. And now after Memphis even black cops are condemned as anti-black racist terrorists. So now we have a totally unworkable society. This does not bode well for our future.

  2829. We’ve got far more than 11 million illegals. We got more than that just in the last 4 years. “After running 1,000,000 simulations of the model, the researchers’ 95% probability range is 16 million to 29 million, with 22.1 million as the mean.” “Yale Study Finds Twice as Many Undocumented Immigrants as Previous Estimates.” Yale Insights.

  2830. Actually, they’re not even called “undocumented” anymore. Now they’re called “migrants” which sounds quite benign and pleasant and implies they have a right to be here.

There obviously is none. We always just talk past each other. This can only get worse and is getting worse by the day. The same people who insist Jan 6 was an “Insurrection!” have no problem with Joe’s open southern border or his campaign to replace meritocracy wherever it can be found with Equity aka Equal Outcomes. This is just not working at all. Could it be that the reason why America is so rapidly unraveling externally is because it no longer exists as a country internally?

  2838.  @Carla_Jay  Because for the past 7 years you criminally insane fanatics have lied about Trump to destroy him. I do not believe anything you say. I believe you people are evil.

  2839. Seems to me that America is disintegrating and our whole world is in a rapidly accelerating tailspin. The philosopher Kant said “Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made.” I believe our “timber” is too “crooked” for humanity to survive and only AI can save us. Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI which just released ChatGPT, recently said it’s not AGI (self-aware AI) but “trust the exponential. flat looking backwards, vertical looking forwards.” It’s now advancing exponentially due to this “emergence phenomenon” of complexity emerging from simplicity at a faster and faster rate. In a recent interview with Lex Fridman the legendary AI researcher Ray Kurzweil said he believes AI will be self-aware, AGI, by 2029 and by then it will be so advanced it will be impossible to tell if it is or isn’t and most people will simply accept that it is. It’s now advancing so fast it could well happen in just a few years. I’m not saying I want to be ruled by AI. I just want the “children of humanity” to help stop their crazy parents from burning down the house. Hope springs eternal. Only God knows what fate has in store for us.
