  1. No loss. She was basically Hillary Clinton with an extra box checked for “race.”
    629
  2. “These people want social justice”...and a communist dictatorship.
    488
  3. That “helping his corporate buddies” nonsense is boilerplate leftist polemic against any conservative or Republican. Sometimes it’s true. It’s often applicable to Democrats — ask Joe Biden or his son. Trump is one of the least connected president to “corporate buddies” in decades. He’s always — quite believably— had greater sympathy for blue-collar citizens and construction workers. The corporate elite hates him...and he justifiably hates them back.
    479
  4. I guess Styx didn’t get the memo. We’re no longer allowed to note the achievements of Western civilizations. Mud huts now hold honor over cathedrals and loin clothes are far grander than space suites.
    399
  5. My entire life, whenever I’ve debated issues regarding communism with anyone “left of center” they always default to defending communism. With all the attempts to label conservatives and even libertarians as “Nazis” or “fascists” you’d be hard pressed to find them supportive or apologetic of either. Conservatives favor limited government. Leftists favor total government.
    380
  6. It’s getting a little old seeing these clowns described as “progressives” or “liberals” when they’re flat out communists.
    378
  7. “Forgive and forget” is McConnell politics.
    344
  8. Radical leftists (communists) have always referred to common people who aren’t on board with “the revolution” as, “fascists.” The rant says more about a pathological strain of extremism than the innocent target of their rage.
    297
  9. Men can become women, government spending can reduce inflation, and non-stop use of law-enforcement to harass opponents is justice “without fear or favor.” Welcome to Brandon’s world.
    295
  10. What really pisses a lot of us off is the ridiculous idea that we’re supposed to renounce our culture and values and honor those who have just waltzed into the country with hands outstretched for the latest (eventually) vote-buying freebies.
    279
  11. Styx is more knowledgable, insightful, and wise than any of the “experts” on establishment media.
    234
  12. “Rebels” for the FBI, CIA, and NSA. Nothing says rebellion like adoration of a centralized punitive political authority.
    231
  13. The most unnatural thing to occur in Earth’s history would be if climate stopped changing.
    212
  14. “They’re just doing their job” excuse for IRS agents and concentration camp guards.
    193
  15. RFK Jr. basically gave his followers permission to recognize that Trump is the closest thing we have to a genuine rebel.
    183
  16. Orange man rocks
    180
  17. These are the same clowns that see “extremism” in a secure national border, recognizing obvious inborn biological differences, and adhering to the standards of a two-century-old constitution.
    177
  18. “The People’s Front of Judea hates the Judean People’s Front.”
    174
  19. And, of course, Schiff would have voted to protect a Republican if the roles were reversed. At a time when a sane Republican should be saying, “enough,” and take on the the Democomms with aggressive determination.
    166
  20. The Lawyers’ Guild has been a very far left organization for decades.
    159
  21. If Trump had a dog, some clown in the media would have noted that “Hitler had a dog.”
    153
  22. The new insider/whistleblower is simply the latest Alexander Vindman — two yawns and an eye-roll. BTW, why would any “whistleblower” at Mar a lago be aware of classified document’s content and location…without breaking the law themselves.
    152
  23. “We’re back” sounds ominously similar to “theeeey’re Heere.”
    148
  24. “A more talented version of Hillary Clinton.” Totally!
    147
  25. “Trickle-down” Marxism starts with the universities, particularly the college schools of education and journalism.
    147
  26. I would love it if Putin got pissed and revealed conclusive Russian intelligence showing Biden to have stolen the election.
    134
  27. She’s consistent, of course a Democrat is going to play up the “brown person” angle, even when they’re pretending to be conservative.
    130
  28. A world where Gretchen Whitmer of the west and fetterman can win…. We’re screwed.
    127
  29. The state can now do anything to citizens that it wants…and apparently Desantis is okay with that.
    124
  30. It’s absolutely insane that there are people who passionately defend taxes, bureacracy, and oppressive growth of government.
    121
  31. I can’t wait for the George Floyd Happy Meals.
    119
  32. The Democrats now have all the attributes of one-party authoritarians.
    115
  33. A lot of waiters and waitresses who proudly rejected the orange man will be confronted with the horrors of poetic Justice.
    114
  34. It’s like flying economy class and pretending you were the pilot.
    108
  35. Allen Dershowitz summed it up well when he recently noted that, in his experience, a party that wants all material made public is typically innocent and the party that wants to withhold information is usually guilty.
    104
  36. I want to see genuine harsh (legal) retribution against these evil pigs who have so unjustly treated a former president and citizens whose only crime has been to occupy half the political spectrum.
    102
  37. In almost all of these contrived examples of police “targeting of minorities,” the police are expected to not respond to resisting arrest, waving a knife, or shooting a fire arm. Hardly cause for a riot.
    99
  38. If we only had professors at our universities with this much insight and ability to passionately communicate sound ideas.
    99
  39. 90% of socialist policy is turning someone in. The other 10% is punishing the people that are turned in.
    95
  40. Old-style Democrats were often “liberal” but didn’t hate America, didn’t hate Western civilization, didn’t hate free commerce, and didn’t support censorship. Most of todays Democrats?….communist.
    93
  41. I’m still waiting for the media to ask Biden what he meant when he said that they’ve developed the most effective operation of election fraud in history.
    92
  42. Fox News and Drudge are the Mitt Romney’s of journalism. Spineless weasels.
    91
  43. It sounds funny saying, “That’s about all”, after an exhaustive list of ambitious projects. 😊
    81
  44. Like a lot of people, I really liked DeSantis initially. Now, I probably wouldn’t even vote for him in 2028. After his response to Trump, he’s revealed himself to be a typical politician. He could have been a psuedo-MAGA with a great following but he really blew that.
    80
  45. Communism is never about how communists want to live. It’s always about how they want to force others to live.
    79
  46. The most absurd aspect in all this nonsense is that these clowns’ bitter hatred is driven by an opposition to citizens’ freedom, sound border policy, and a prosperous free-market.
    73
  47. One of the most annoying aspects of debating any leftist is their inability to acknowledge the inevitable authoritarian nature of their values. Another common error is thinking that a hyper-nationalistic or racist leftism is magically not leftism.
    72
  48. That moderator was a pathetic caricature of leftist media bias.
    72
  49. The ultimate cost of keeping them here will be living in a third world country with one party rule and the complete loss of freedom — ‘can’t put a price on that.
    68
  50. When he’s officially charged, he should look toward the camera with a big condescending wink.
    65
  51. He’s leaving because he knows he’d be humiliated by a Cheney-like defeat in an election. No one likes a uniparty drone except fellow travelers.
    65
  52. Meanwhile every Jacobin clown in the country will be rambling incoherently about January 6th.
    64
  53. ‘Can’t repeat it enough…There were no “mean tweets.” There were witty and sarcastic responses to mean tweets directed at Trump.
    63
  54. Remember when Trump said, “America will never be a socialist country” at a State of the Union address, and the Democomms sat on their hands.
    62
  55. It’s not a coincidence that Merrick Garland looks like an Eastern Block communist dictator. If there is such thing as Karma, he should prepare for some difficult times.
    62
  56. The tragedy in all of this is that a passionate and dishonest leftist industrial complex successfully convinced many that a practical and insightful man with executive experience and relatively moderate policy positions was an extreme “fascist”/“racist.” There has probably never been a president more screwed over by partisan ideologues and fools.
    61
  57. Like most “revolutions,” if they pull it off it won’t be due to the 1% of the 1%. It’ll be the highly influential and powerful 10% that run media, academia, public education, entertainment, and government bureaucracy and offer tacit mock approval of the far left. They’ll stake their claim, let the one percent put a foot in the door, the mob will elicit an excessive response — chaos. That’s when the pathological elements float to the surface. That’s when the international order begins to snap (e.g. China invades Taiwan). I don’t think there has been a major revolution in history that was a genuine popular uprising. It’s always a radical clique, and a substantial mass of weak-willed fools who lay the carpet out for authoritarian nutcases.
    59
  58. Brandon didn’t kill himself.
    59
  59. It’s become a “truism” that history is “written by the victors” with the implication that it’s skewed to put the victor in a positive light. This maybe usually true but, for America, many academics writing the history do so by putting America in a mostly unfavorable light. Perhaps it should be stated that “history is written by intellectuals” and who knows where that will take you.
    59
  60. All of human history and in every location, individuals and often all of “society” have looked negatively upon a variety of behaviors and lifestyle choices. It’s ridiculous that we have reached a point where we are expected to “embrace” every deviation from the norms of a give era. Slow and well thought-out change is often a positive thing. Demands to turn the world upside-down, not so much.
    58
  61. Driven by a bunch of stupid post-modern subversive relativism, the authoritarian collectivists have successfully made common sense and the obvious somehow a debatable issue.
    57
  62. They just can’t fathom the fact that the world and reality will not bend to their fanciful whims.
    56
  63. It didn’t play long but Don Henly’s song “Dirty Laundry” is beyond timely and worth a listen to.
    55
  64. Letting in millions of (ultimately) future Democrat voters is obviously the Democrat main priority. They’re willing to take some short term criticism for the future ability to do anything they want. If they pull this scheme off, the constitution and bill of rights will be toast.
    54
  65. A Wikipedia link…give me a break.
    54
  66. I often refer to them as “establishment media” because the establishment — political, economic, and academic — is who they consistently speak for.
    53
  67. I loved it when Avenatti got nailed. ‘Talk about poetic justice. A nice follow-up would be Adam Schiff and Swalwell.
    51
  68. “Scorn and ridicule” — ‘can’t repeat it enough. I love it!
    49
  69. Remember, this isn’t legal favoritism for “powerful people” per se. It’s specifically legal favoritism for Democrats and other assorted leftists.
    47
  70. Excellent insight. I’ve taken an interest in this “philosophy” from an early age. Any insight into its psychology and methods confirms exactly what you said. There’s never been a communist “revolution.” They have all been coup d’ états and they were successful with support from a mere fragment of a given population along with a compliant mass of stupid people bored with their lives.
    46
  71.  @edreynolds8721  - I don’t even like it on paper. The goal of eliminating individual freedom is baked into the formula.
    45
  72. The “stimulus” is like giving a starving kid a few pieces of candy.
    44
  73. The more laws, the more likily that common citizens are deemed criminals.
    43
  74. The Democrats are afraid of DeSantis because, unlike any of them, he’s not an asshole.
    43
  75.  @RoseLawliet  …and, they say it all the time. My favorite is, “it’s good in theory,” not having the insight that it’s the evil in the theory the produces the evil in practice.
    43
  76. It’s wise to resist “the powers that be” but equally so to at least be skeptical of the powers that want to be.
    43
  77. And later, a job teaching at a university.
    42
  78. Bumper sticker : “IF you CAN’T read this, thank teacher unions and college ed schools”
    41
  79. There’s a good chance that this clown will be president….soon. When that happens, we can expect the entire world order to collapse.
    40
  80. His sidekick, Yuval Harari easily comes in a close second.
    39
  81. Why the hell does YouTube need to tack a “context” to this?
    39
  82. When encountering the Trump-deranged, I dramatically note that “ he might do what he did last time!😱” it always leaves them puzzeled.
    39
  83. When have you every heard anyone on the left say, “okay, we’ve finally reached the level of state centralization and control that we want. No need to push things any further.” No, their desire for more and more powerful and punitive government is insatiable.
    38
  84. No matter how sophisticated an ideology pretends to be, they always come down to a very primal/instinctual motivation. A focus on race is like a wolf focusing on the scent of a urinated perimeter.
    38
  85. Trump regularly attended Norman Vincent Peale’s sermons at the Marble Collegiate church in New York. While they incorporated traditional Christian beliefs they also inspired a general sense of optimism and poitive thinking in approaching life — not a bad thing.
    37
  86. While the most Democratic and decent countries are still capable of horrendous acts, it’s definitely more likely that a deliberate attack on a school or hospital would be done by the side that is less Democratic and with a consistent track record for savagery
    37
  87. The “Napoleon in exile” analogy was excellent.
    37
  88. Like almost everything Trump, realistic, practical, moderate.
    36
  89. I hate that we all refer to Trump’s tweets as “mean tweets.” They can more accurately be described as sarcastic and often witty responses to mean tweets directed at him.
    36
  90. How can they not know how absolutely pathetic they look? Accusations of “racism!”doesn’t get much more beyond a eye-roll among sane people.
    35
  91. I’m still amazed that Democrats aren’t made to explain why they don’t want practical common sense election procedures like voter ID. (Of course, we all know why).
    35
  92. All of this bias and deception crap comes from years — decades — of post-modern relativism cramed into students’ heads. “It’s all relative” until they pull off their “revolution.” If they’re successful, then they’ll tell you that there is only “one truth.”
    35
  93. Biden’s unique blend of innate incompetence and dementia makes it easy to be distracted from the fact that similar chaos would be occurring under a more youthful and alert Democrat. All of Biden’s failures are the outcome one may expect by following any “progressive” playbook. Aging incompetence isn’t what destroyed Cuba or Venezuela. It was youthful idealism, stupidity, and a complete lack of historical awareness..
    35
  94. You’d think that a “brilliant” (some thought) foreign policy expert could lose that thick accent after several decades. Also, don’t forget, he was Klaus Schwab’s mentor.
    35
  95. The Styx perspective on the “heckler’s veto” needs to be spread far and wide.
    34
  96. I think it’s interesting that Rasputin’s supposed psychic powers began after suffering a terrible fever/ illness as a child. A possible connection. A Russian prince who hated Rasputin left a fascinating description of his charisma and especially his powerful eyes when he first met him in person. Some people have noted the same regarding Hitler.
    34
  97. Another nod to Weimar, a paradigm marked by excessive drug use, deviation from traditional standards of sexual lifestyle, and fascination with mystic perspectives. ‘All hallmarks of a society unraveling. Not to suggest that any of these things are “wrong” but they do correlate with a decline in stability. When this creepy brew becomes allied with political ideologies, things can fly off center (in a “widening gyre”) quickly.
    34
  98. The lack of “BidenISMS” is like the tradition of referring to many Democrats by cutesy monikers like, “FDR,” LBJ.” or “AOC.” Not so much for conservatives. When will the press affectionately refer to Trump as, “DJT?”
    32
  99. I can understand why a biased source would be defensive about their mistaken support but positive excitement for this clown just looks pathetic.
    32
  100. Ya gotta love Styx’s appreciation for and knowledge of mysticism AND objective reasoning. Fully on par with Jung.
    31
  101. “The best lack all conviction and the worst are full of passionate intensity.”
    31
  102. Anyone who has read Vance’s life story in his best-selling book would be hard pressed rejecting him in an election. Clearly a guy with a strong moral compass and capacity for self-reflection.
    29
  103. Anyone who thinks “the deep state” is a conspiracy theory is either blind, stupid, or a member.
    27
  104. The economic issue is seriously important but ultimately one can’t overlook the significance of the real danger — “redistributing” personal autonomy to state authority. With every act of excess government spending goes an increase in centralized authority. No surprise that victims of the socialist scam ultimately end up both poor and oppressed.
    27
  105. A smart person, long ago, would have acknowledged to themselves, “I’m not really up to this.”
    26
  106. For being so certain that he “can’t win,” they seem really worried about the fact that he probably will win.
    26
  107. And was a feminist but had a demure damsel voice. She’s the Jussie Smollette of feminism.
    26
  108. The left has a long history of hating their own counties....until they take total command. After that, patriotism becomes mandatory.
    25
  109. They’re a surf class but they WILL be able to vote, as soon as possible. That’s the whole point.
    25
  110. No one likes turncoats and back-stabbers and both Desantis and Halley qualify on that count.
    24
  111. Under current circumstances, the fact that any Democrat has a reasonable chance of winning any election is beyond cause for concern. We’re fkd.
    24
  112. It’s not like they’re a service-oriented agency. Try contacting them and getting an accurate answer to a question or consult their “code” and try to find anyone that can understand it.
    23
  113. When was the first time you said,”That’s about all...peace out”?
    23
  114.  @trevorguthrie3054  - Excellent example of the word games they use to hide their own despotic nature as well as their worn out strategy of depicting themselves as victims as a mere means of advancing their will.
    23
  115. So, “what did the Romans ever do for us besides aquaducts, roads, education, [and silphium]?”
    22
  116. And it should be.
    21
  117. This should be a much bigger story.
    21
  118. Let’s be fair and give them California as a trade.
    20
  119. It’s absolutely insane that the difference between the communist candidate and the productive traditionalist is basically 50/50.
    19
  120. I look forward to the day when we can say, “Hillary Clinton didn’t kill herself.”
    19
  121. That “auto-pen” nonsense should be front and center for investigation by congress and the media.
    19
  122. Anyone with the degree of screaming passion that DeNiro devotes to Trump clearly has some mental issues beyond mere projection. To get that worked up over lowering taxes, drilling for oil, and questioning election results is truly the attribute of an insane person.
    19
  123.  @ChicagoMike85  - A brilliant polemic critically arrived at through studious contemplation and refined consideration. Kinda like, “Orange man bad.”
    18
  124.  @DavidNefelimSlayer  - People will often note Hitler’s extreme nationalism and racism as a function of “right wing” thinking. In fact is just one of many variants of the Marxist world view. Stalin hated Trotsky, Khushchev hated Mao, and Hitler hated “Bolsheviks.” They all hated free and independent society.
    18
  125. He’s got some sound ideas but he needs to realize that, in these times, not supporting the Trump agenda is basically supporting the Democrats’ agenda.
    18
  126. The solution is to require mandatory viewing of “dirty Harry” for instructing all police officers.
    18
  127. The conservative / leftist divide is a difference between a motivation to enact practical policy to please the public vs. a motivation to impose an ideological program to rule over the public.
    18
  128. AI will likely evolve in the style of fractals and archetypal repetition. Meaning, as it becomes more complex, it will branch off into attributes of altruism and cruelty, advancement and destruction, beauty and ugliness. In the end, it will be like humans….and everything else in the universe.
    17
  129. And they’re just getting started.
    17
  130. Citizens need to develop immunity to government policy.
    17
  131.  @danb2622  - I’d trust what Styx says a thousand times over the clowns of youTube and Wikipedia.
    17
  132. Normal is stable and stable is sane.
    16
  133. A nice icing on the Desantis cake is that he majored in history — couldn’t hurt.
    16
  134. They needed to learn some lessons at least 100 years ago.
    16
  135. I admire your optimism and I hope you’re right but it seems that the forces of statism — after a good century of consolidation — are now fully entrenched in all aspects of society, especially the culture. After the Trump interlude, there is no way socialist Democrat/communists are going to allow the chance of a future mundane pendulum swing again. Given the backup support for “revolution” (in their eyes) from media, education, etc., the state will be fed unbridled power to relinquish American sovereignty (e.g. The law of the Seas treaty) and double down on coercing the population into PC hell. The days of Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton are over.
    16
  136. I’m going to assume that a diplomat would leave their stash at the hotel before entering THE WHITE HOUSE (!). On the other hand, Hunter has a reputation for reckless abandon.
    15
  137. Enoch~ I don’t think it’s practical or decent to be racist but you hit the nail on the head when you wrote, ”they made me...” the left has probably done more to fan the flames of racism than any personal inclination toward “hate” ever could. Their stupid in-your-face coercive demands that everyone relinquish their autonomy for “global village” bullshit has become intolerable to civilized people. Even if someone was the same race but different from you in every other way, would you want them crammed into your life on a mission to make you conform to their standards. Some people just want to be left alone and that’s something leftists just can not do.
    15
  138. …and reminds you that many voters don’t think.
    15
  139. I accept the fact that death and taxes are inevitable but I still don’t understand how the powers that be can command us to do complex convoluted homework — under penalty of prison for making mistakes. The entire tax code is absurd. A national sales tax would be preferable but that would be too simple for the minions of bureau-land who relish the idea of labyrinths of confusion.
    15
  140. Okay, ...I watched the whole thing. Now, where’s my $1,000 reward? God, soooo pathetic. She didn’t offer a single point of substance in response to Trump. Also, she had a lot of nerve using that accusation that he wanted a moat with alligators and border agents shooting migrants. That was thoroughly debunked. Trump even mocked it when he heard of it, saying jokingly “I’m tough on the border but not that tough.” Styx’s description of her was perfect but I’d add that she could be cast as a frigid real estate agent in an unhappy marriage and lots of pictures of herself on her suburban refrigerator.
    15
  141. He can also be accurately — and positively — judged by considering who hates him.
    15
  142. Not only did the Neocons and Neolibs fail to solve international problems. They were largely the cause of many problems.
    15
  143. This is the number one reason I support Trump. I don’t care that he’s on video expressing enthusiasm for women who let him grab them by the …. I don’t care that he responds to unjustified attacks with witty and sarcastic tweets. I don’t care that he’s not an Ivy League intellectual (I’m actually glad about that). I support Trump because he is the single person capable of whittling down a massive government authority that is out of control. Every problem we now face is the result of an overbearing state bureaucracy and it’s perpetual meddling into the private lives of citizens. Screw the state…MAGA 2022 and 2024!
    15
  144.  @TheHigherVoltage  - ‘Nice try Mr. Scholar. Locke’s writings are hardly tracts on the virtues of socialism/collectivism (leftism). What became 19th classical liberalism is completely at odds with the belief systems that demanded allegiance to a centralized state or collectivist abstractions. The difference between leftism and Locke can probably be best seen in the differences between the French Revolution (the Jacobins in particular) and the founding principles of the American republic. If I’m mistaken, it’s no doubt due to my being right wing and “not understanding history.”
    15
  145. Like the witch on the Wizard of Oz.
    14
  146. I love your appraisal of John McCain. It’s bad enough they made it sound like Ted Kennedy was a loss.Thank god for insight and honesty
    14
  147. Your most astute observation is that this is all ultimately hilarious.
    14
  148. Her name is Megyn Kelly and she now has her own YouTube channel.
    14
  149.  @tetraquark2402  - An insightful appraisal. I like to think of it as an elaborate intellectual justification for simple envy. Jealousy of another’s wealth, power, or influence. They hate the “powers that be” because they are the powers that want to be.
    14
  150. Trump often bounced semi-crazy ideas off of staff to get feedback that might be useful. ‘Classic example; wondering if something like a disinfectant could be used internally to fight Covid — a totally legitimate question. This was later spun as, “Trump wants people to drink bleach.” The guy actually has a relatively creative imagination. Remember that crazy Einstein guy imagining he was riding a light beam?
    14
  151. The first major budget realignment should be cancelling the stupid idea of giving the FBI a new headquarters bigger than the Pentagon.
    14
  152.  @albundy7198  -Totally. Funny how the Jacobin rabble and their university mentors idealize the political philosophies — socialism, communism, fascism, Nazism — of dead white European males.
    13
  153. I have no problem “rendering unto Caesar” but I know of nowhere in the constitution that requires citizens to do convoluted homework or pay someone to assist doing said homework. My taxes are relatively easy but just the site of their stupid bureau-script stresses the hell out of me. THEY don’t understand it, how dare they demand that we understand it. Just leave me alone and send me a bill…or a check.
    13
  154. Trump is a genuine unprejudiced person. He’s neither racist, homophobic, or misogynist nor feels the need to obsess on such things. The left’s obsession with identity politics is just another type of racism, homophobia, etc. His end game is practical success. He wants to see his country and fellow citizens flourish.
    13
  155. Up til now, they’ve been pretty reliable. You can be sure, whatever their reasons, this latest scam covers something monumental.
    13

  159. Regarding a sense of guilt or having “done something wrong,” I’ve always been fascinated by videos that show dogs having done something “they knew was wrong.” Even they have a nascent awareness of transgressions. Where dogs seem to be aware of offending their owners guidelines for living, humans have merely conjured the “great owner in the sky” and concocted rules we imagine sent from above. It’s a small step from guilt to a feeling that some kind of punishment is in order.

  197. Unfortunately, it’s become important to not only describe the rabble as “communists” — which they certainly are — but remind people what that means. It’s not just some ideology on the political spectrum. It’s a movement with a track record of bringing civilization to a virtual standstill. Communists are consistently cruel, violent, oppressive, and evil, in every possible way. The idiots out there who think they live in an “oppressive” and “unjust” society because they have to get a job and pay their bills need to see what it’s like to have family members dragged off in the middle of the night for the crime of not being a submissive team-player.

  208. By the time public school teachers are finished “teaching” about racism, global warming, and the evils of a free American society, there’s no time to actually teach a valid subject. In the end, that’s convenient for the average public school teacher who often has limited knowledge or genuine interest in their subject. To quote a common stupid college Ed School rhetorical question, “Do you teach the subject or do you teach the student?”

Also, outer forces often wish to compel submission to their order (collectivism) while others resist absorption into larger wholes.

It’s true that there were several Democrats who weren’t graced with alphabet honors but aside from “TR” I don’t think there were any Republicans, presidents or otherwise, graced with such honor. A great example of the opposite scenario was Time Magazine featuring a very unflattering image of Republican representative, Michele Bachmann with the title, “Queen of Rage.” The leftist industrial complex simply cannot acknowledge the validity of half the political spectrum so anyone opposed to their perpetual “revolution” is branded greedy, selfish, racist, or authoritarian while the kindest of terms are used to describe anyone who favors a powerful central authority.

The comical exception to this, that Elon Musk is an African-American, is an interesting appraisal of that. Certainly European and African cultures vary in many things far beyond skin tone. “We” and “they” have every legitimate reason to favor the cultural standards one has grown up with. It’s become rather ridiculous that we are now often told (commanded) to “honor” other cultures but if a particular culture is notably successful — culturally, politically, and technologically — we’re supposed to hold it in disdain. In the end, it’s all just another neo-Marxist exercise in the politics of resentment.

I live in Japan where rote procedure and testing is the dominant standard. There’s plenty to criticize about it but most Japanese students actually know basic math, geography, and science, etc. I was a teacher in the U.S. for a few years — the whole game was utter nonsense. Most “educators” fancy themselves as being on the cutting edge of some revolutionary movement. In fact, they’re just milquetoast drones in a pathetic exercise in propaganda.

  269. The dominant media almost always refers to shades of conservatism as,”far right,” “extreme right,” and “right wing extremists” thus wedding “right” with negative attributes in people’s minds. How often do we hear of left wing extremists in Antifa? No, it’s always “left-leaning,” or “the progressive wing of the party. Now we have “ultra MAG” vs some variation on “angels of compassion and kindness.” (That was meant as symbolic jest). Our most accurate gauge would be to consult the origins of the polarity. “Right Wing” we’re the Girondists in the French Revolution — basically constitutional monarchist who wished to expand freedoms vs. the Jacobins — crazed and violent authoritarians who sought to remold society. Kind of like Rand Paul vs. Castro.

  277.  @edreynolds8721  - Initially, many people did risk their lives to get out of communist Vietnam. Most came to America and flourished. If one appraises the circumstance currently you are right and your analogy to a Mafia operation is good (for any totalitarian enterprise) Also, I think certain cultures implement communist ideology differently. The Vietnamese really don’t seem that committed ideologically. I don’t know what to make of the Chinese. Clearly there are millions in China who know they are prisoners of the party and would gladly be free of it but the communist party there has been very effective in using modern technology to tighten their grip on power. As an aside, Trump’s policies could have potentially brought the Chinese communist party down from power. Now….. The biggest threat to any culture — and this applies to the U.S. today — is the 20% or so brain-dead subservient idiots that are fully on board with another march toward destitution and tyranny. In a mere couple of decades, Venezuela has gone from a relatively prosperous society with a large middle class to a basket case in hell. Yet still, there are hordes of idiots there who genuinely think they are on the verge of utopia. A leftist in power will come up with a million and one reasons to claim “the revolution” is successful. Look at the Biden administration today. The idiot really thinks he’s been a positive force. A pathological desire to control others plus stupidity is a deadly combination.

  281. Trump Acquitted 4life Kari - If so, it’s a different kind of elitism. Certainly a blue-collar worker waving a flag and expressing a desire for limited government is a different caricature than a sociology professor mocking the “lumpen proletariat” for resisting the rule of philosopher kings. Both caricatures accurately represent real people. When I think of smug hypocrisy I tend to envision the latter example.

  283. “A tear in the civic fabric of the country.” Well stated. Of concern to me is, how will this schism ever be resolved? Leftists have been on a century-long mission to impose the rule of a “guardian” caste of faux-intellectuals and then along comes Trump and puts the breaks on their stupid “revolution.” In the end, someone’s got to end up the winner; the supporters of constitutional republican government or the minions of a global-socialist order.

  287.  @jon-erich9752  - No disagreement from me. I’d add that another aspect of a societal breakdown occurs when a segment of the population makes the first moves to depart from standards traditionally adhered to. Sometimes the new vision can be successfully incorporated into the traditional framework. At other times, the momentum builds and the dam breaks. It looks like the West has reached that point. Any attempts at constructive change or maintenance are now behind us and all smart people can now do is brace for the inevitable upheaval. It certainly doesn’t help that there are now numerous interests that want to feed off the turmoil and establish themselves as guardians of the new order. A constitution can no longer protect us when so many no longer honor established law.

Cultures everywhere copy, barrow, improve, and in some cases, reject over time, the styles, foods, technology, and innovations of others. If anything can be said about Western civilization’s relation to history, it’s that it has been incredibly adaptable. One can look at the Chinese “invention” of pasta and view it as a cornerstone of human advancement....or just appreciate 13th century Italian culture for recognizing a good thing. Those who are so worried about cultural appropriation and “theft” should stop using everything the West has created or passed on. One person’s thief is another’s catalyst to human advancement.

  309. There’s no way that the founders or common sense would allow for local judges to veto a president’s actions. No president would be able to do anything. If the Democrats are able to pull this stunt off, local juristictions should start shutting down every act of Democrat governors.
    3
  310. KameSennin4209 - Yeah, I get that but, it’s just not practical or decent to default to hating someone automatically based on some arbitrary physical attribute (race). By the same token it is indeed natural that people should wish to affiliate with like lifestyles and values. The conundrum occurs due to the fact that radically different cultures are likely to also be of a particular race making it hard to separate the two. I have a lot more in common with a middle class conservative black guy than a basement-dwelling white leftist parasite.

  311. All true but........the left will make it impossible for non-leftists to have any significance. Between importing blocks of Democrat voters and all the other schemes they’ve concocted, the U.S. will likely become a worn out version of California. Add to that the Jacobin grip on the culture and young minds and we may find ourselves screwed for several decades.

  314.  @pm5206  - It’s because you’re a normal human being. There are some basic personality traits that have been appraised by many psychological schools of thought and they all recognize some variation on introversion to be a valid type of personality. Where the conflict occurs is when a standard within society is at odds with one’s personality type. Cheer-leaders for the system hate seeing one stray from their view of reality. Notice that introverts don’t typically go around demanding that others join the ranks of personal contemplation. I see school system counselors, leftists, and Amway salespersons as pretty much on the same page. They demand everyone’s enthusiasm for their view of life.

  316. Robert Beckler - Agreed. I’d go so far as to generalize that all strains of “socialism” are just differing methods of imposing authoritarianism. Their only opposite is free open society with a maximum degree of self-government. The perennial game of leftists to point to constitutional representative government as some form of “fascism” is laughable.
    3
  317.  @robertbeckler5058  - Particularly keeping in mind that the origin of “left wing” was to note the Jacobins (Proto-communists) in the French Revolution. The “right wing” were basically constitutional monarchists with more in common with our own founders.

  319. There really needs to be a Supreme Court declaration that puts an end to obvious partisan ploys by one party to elimate their opposition. Trump is still under indictment for having classified documents. Both Pence and Biden are off scott-free on such charges and the media has successfully erased the injustice under the rug. May karma be visited upon them all.

  331. All of these assumptions about Trump’s tactics are probably spot-on. The Jacobins want to think he’s a stupid simpleton because he doesn’t belong to their Ivy League clique of posers.

And, god knows they’re racist (though the races they hate may differ).

  337.  @annatardlordofderps9181  - Yes, good point. The — loaded — word “greed” has typically become synonymous with wealth. An honest appraisal will realize that one can be very wealthy but not particularly self serving. Conversely, there are more than a few relatively poor people who are clearly very greedy. It’s definitely more greedy to want to take another’s wealth than simply want to enhance one’s own wealth through the creation and selling of a product or service. I don’t think Bill Gates was particularly greedy in amassing wealth over the creation of a shitty operation system but his more recent attempts to direct the course of people’s lives is beyond greedy.

  348. “Trickle down” was coined by the New York Times. When you watch your flat screen TV remember that it was made and become infinitely cheaper over time because some rich people initially bought the product, generating corporate income and motivation to lower the cost. When I get a raise in income (at my meager lifestyle) no poor person is harmed in the process. Likewise, the rich becoming richer has no negative impact on me and in fact has a positive impact on society as a whole. If 90% of the population were millionaires, the left would complain about billionaires.

And, what’s the real reason for all this perpetual nonsense; Trump wants to lower taxes, secure the border, deregulate and free the market economy, and maintain a positive self image for the country and its people. It should be obvious by now that the leftist industrial complex is opposed to these things. If DeSantis becomes the nominee (not likily), he better get ready for the same BS from the totalitarian playbook.

  361. Trump definitely has numerous flaws but he’s remarkably rare in that he clearly, sincerely, is opposed to the establishment and wants to benefit the American worker. DeSantis will make a fine replacement when Trump is gone but, for now, he IS the movement. If you hate communism, massive punitive bureau-autocrats, and believe in the principles in the country’s founding documents, Trump is our battering ram. If he gets in again, he will bring with him a clearer understanding of what he faces and no doubt clean house with skill and determination. On the flip side….(unfortunately), the Democomms and their leftist support network have enough time to do permanent damage. It’ll be almost comical watching the establishment media circle the wagons when the Republicans try to impeach Biden for the destruction he has brought.

    2
  372. It’s reasonable to note that “all politicians lie” but there are different kinds of lying. Joe Biden completely fabricates scenarios that never happened, often to cover for past material gain. Trump’s “lies” are more accurately exaggerations and embellishments, not motivated by scheming dishonesty for material gain but by excessive pride and egotism. The two candidates “lies” are hardly on par.

UN-F’n believable!

  447. ‘Totally right regarding government’s complete incompetence, but the thing about socialism that annoys me even more is its inevitable growth into every nook and cranny of one’s life. Telling people what they can eat or smoke or what races and genders their children should be compelled to honor goes way beyond the stated desire to foster economic “equality.” In the debate over socialism it still amazes me how anyone could fancy themself to be opposed to the powers that be while simultaneously supporting greater authority to a centralized entity with punitive powers. Regarding the so-called “war on poverty,” if they’ve achieved their goals they can now be shut down. If they’ve failed to achieve their goals (after decades),...they should be shut down. The numerous costly programs in the war on poverty have literally cost trillions yet the poverty rate hasn’t budged much below a steady 13%. Of that 13% it’s important to realize that the actual people in that group changes over time. While some make up the permanent poor, many become middle class and even wealthy while others move down that economic ladder as well. The goal of socialism in all its guises is to create a commune with compulsory membership.

  482. Pietr Ayday - Yeah, I’d say that’s about right. Paul Johnson, Thomas Sowell, and Eric Hoffer address a lot of these issues quite well. Hoffer also notes the role of “pseudo-intellectuals” which is particularly relevant today when so many can graduate from college filled with the idea that they are actually smarter than many of their fellow citizens. In many cases, their tendency to act as a subversive agent stems from nothing more profound than simple jealousy. When one is convinced that they are endowed with superior intellect and insight, it’s got to be annoying to see simpler lives that freedom has made happy and successful.

We need to stop calling these clowns “socialists,” “Democratic Socialists,” “Progressives,” “Marxists,” and “Democrats” and call them what they in fact are, totalitarian communists. In the end, they will hurt everyone.

  488. The entire scam was obviously BS from the very beginning. They pulled it off the same way they are now telling us that people can miraculously change their biological gender.

Most speakers expressed optimism and a solid traditional respect for decency. The Democrats’ context was always chaotic, garish, and overwhelmed with the only themes they resonate to; “diversity” and “racism.” Chaos vs. order.

What sealed it for me was Brian William’s serious description of this “information” as “chilling.” The contributor didn’t note how this Hitlerian numerology effectively dog-whistled to the leftist shooter in Dayton. He also didn’t note how Trump would have handled the flag-lowering if the shootings occurred last month. Of course he would have to delay the flag lowering till 8/8....otherwise, how would his Nazi friends know?

  558. It’s so seldom noted that the only reason for supporting these insane policies is the democrat’s hopes and expectations that these new arrivals will be fast-tracked to citizenship and likely vote for America’s subversive Democrat party.

  561. I lived in a little “redneck” town in Kentucky and, you’re absolutely right. They lack the posturing and etiquette of racial commentary but, in the end, most don’t have ill feelings toward anybody. It’s like that scene in Gran Torino where Clint Eastwood and his ethnic barber exchange racist banter before asking how their family is. Leftism is phony to the hilt. Conservatives, by and large, are still human.

  562. Since the Biden / Obama clique is now fully entrenched in power, the left will increasingly not only acknowledge “the steal,” they will openly brag about having pulled it off. There are millions of relative moderates out there that will consider the arrogance of these scoundrels in future elections. I really hate it when these fools ramble about their having “saved democracy.” Saved democracy from what, lower taxes? Less regulation? A safe and secure border? This nonsense from people who think “democracy” means submission to an increasingly powerful state.

  568. Aside from the many specific examples, it’s an objective fact that Democrats favor increased central authority and conservatives are at least skeptical of endowing such authority.

  582. This is all the typical course of events that transpire when a critical degree of socialism (government control) has intruded upon an economy. The next phase will be to tell everyone that the mess occurring is the result of capitalism and therefore we need more government control. And, that’s just the economy. Politically, any legitimate opposition that could potentially improve conditions will be eliminated. A-holes everywhere will then parade about praising the demise of civilization.

  583. The intuitive assumption is that the profit motive would dictate what a company produces. That used to be the case but, after decades of public school and college indictrination, people really think they are on some kind of mission to “make a better world” (destroy this one). As long as they think they’ll be getting a pay check, corporate clowns couldn’t care less about the demise of their company…until the paycheck stops. Then, it’s too late to adhere to saner business decisions.

Anything to rid the world of leftism’s standard-bearer. ...But, something to consider (fear) is the different ways different countries respond to existential threat. The communist party is likely to lash out in very aggressive ways and potentially revel in the upheaval of violent confrontation. We see this already as they currently respond to a precarious time with ballsy threats toward Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the countries around them (as well as places like Australia and the U.S. If there is one thing we can expect from the Communist Party of China it’s a lack of humility and reasoned cooperation.

Remember when Obama’s White House Communications director, Anita Dunn, noted that Mao Zedong was one of her favorite “philosophers?” Another classic was when either Thomas Friedman or Paul Krugman (I forgot which) at the NY Times praised the Chinese communist party leadership as enlightened leaders. Where do these assholes come from? It should be noted to the gullible idiots who fawn over Che that he despised “bourgeoisie” rock music and homosexuals, shot a twelve year old kid for pilfering food, and pleaded with Russia to launch a nuclear strike on New York City. Pol Pot was a teacher “educated” in France and steeped on pathetic leftist French philosophers. And, it goes on and on. Communism consistently sucks.

  619. @Raylan Givens - All good points. No disagreement. I’m still concerned that China’s cocky attitude could present some real problems for everyone. If the U.S. continues to be in suicide-subservience mode China could at least gain some temporary footing. The more the world spins into varying degrees of chaos, the greater the likelihood of some global system emerging. Even if that would be just another temporary thing….it would suck. We can certainly count on the pervasive reality of history, people and nations will want power, and someone among them will be successful in gaining power.

Multi trillion-dollar failed programs are always seen as needing more funding. And, the return?....nothing. Not even a dent in poverty stats. It’s a shame, but I think America will be remembered as a catalyst to global government — by accident or design. Not something I’m particularly proud of. Unfortunately, the constitution - the political equivalent of an 18th century symphony — will temporarily be derided as it is today, as the product of slave-holding “capitalist oppressors.” It makes me sick when I here such pathetic appraisals. Those who do so offer in its place nothing more than imposed conformity, stasis, and societal rot. For the cause of space exploration and a daily pursuit of happiness, the most important thing we can do now is turn back the mud-tide of authoritarian collectivism at home (Democrats and antifa scum) and abroad (China and globalist power-players).

If Desantis runs, the complex will immediately start shouting, “racist!” He’ll say, “no I’m not” shrug his shoulders and move on leaving the brigade to look like the utter fools that they are.

    1
  657.  @Stabsnipers  ….yes. While it’s common to express views regarding “bodily autonomy,” deep philosophical issues regarding the nature of “life” in a fetus, or baby about to be delivered, are not 100% settled. There are millions of people who see a potential mother’s decision as overriding the birth of what they see as potential “life.” There are also millions who very much believe that a zygote’s life is equal to that of an adult human. Some of us don’t really know the answer. We can’t just write off the other side. While it sounds evasive, the truth is that it’s a complex issue. As long as some conservatives make it THE issue they will lose elections and allow the continued march toward a socialist dictatorship. At that point, you’ll be dealing with full-blown infanticide and eugenic “assisted” suicide.

Whenever I hear any of the anti-Trump a-holes ramble about “authoritarianism,” “extremism,” or “dangers to democracy,” I want to demand at least one example. Only in a leftist’s or globalist’s polluted mind is lower taxes, deregulation, a secure border, and thriving economy a “dark night of fascism.” What total idiots.

Trump’s intelligence is perceptive, intuitive, and driven by a degree of common sense sorely lacking among many public figures. No matter how convoluted or colloquial his speech, the left is really missing the power of this formidable adversary. They’ll keep writing he and his supporters off as buffoons while their lofty illusions of insight blind them to a style of genius that will thoroughly defeat them in the end.

AOC is a totalitarian bitch. She can put me on her stupid list. It will be a badge of honor.

  697. Even when Democrats were mere “liberals” they were idiots (as were many Republicans). If you ever read a book by Barry Goldwater, you’d find he was in the same mold as Reagan and Trump — a practical desire to serve the interests of America (and a great sense of humor as well). But the media then, as now, was steadfastly opposed to the interests of common citizens and deceived and omitted to push the Democrat’s ideological crusades.
    1
  698. Trump is great at luring these idiots into their own webs. What they fail to see is that he’s actually really intelligent. The establishment clowns think intelligence is only something you glean from Harvard, cocktail parties, and reading “The Atlantic.” School yard instinct, psychological insight, cynical skepticism, and childish wit represent a style of intellect beyond the reach of academic snobs. The Washington elite were no doubt the teacher’s pets. Trump was the kid sent to the office because he was cracking jokes in a class where the boring teacher failed to keep him entertained.

It worked, but it’s also the reason they’re now stuck with the same pathetic figurehead that’s almost guaranteed to lose. The second term Trump will be a rejuvinated wiser leader who isn’t going to take any shit from the worthless clowns of the deep state, media, and back-stabbing bureaucracy.

  722. While a pragmatic appraisal may leave one skeptical, a more poetic analysis will find the symbolism of astrology remarkably insightful. I’ve found it to be unrelated to gravity or radiation, etc. it clearly operates through synchronicity. You can do a chart on any moment in time - a horoscope for a marriage, a business, a nation, or any entity and not only will the symbolism hold true but the “transits” will accurately time significant events in the entity’s “life.” A generic example of this is the return of Saturn to it’s birth position between the ages of 28-30 which is an inevitable turning point in a person or institution’s life. As an aside, “Authoritarian” Donald Trump has a markedly NON-authoritarian horoscope. A Gemini with Moon in Sagittarius and a very prominent position of Uranus — an adaptable, changeable, unpredictable, independent and rebellious free-wheeling guy prone to exaggeration and optimism. There ya have it.

  723. Ultimately, it’s not even about Joe Biden.

  789. People who care about their own individual merits don’t care at all about these stupid collective allegiances. This entire nonsense stems from collective allegiance and a collective inferiority complex.

  791.  @elperronimo  - True, but from my own experience, I was one of the people you described for thirty years. Even during that time, my philosophical temperament was always intrigued when I heard of people’s experiences or saw documentaries on hallucinogens. When I was lucky enough to take my first journey there was definitely a feeling of experiencing something fully appropriate to my nature. The “something that had been missing.”
    1
  792.  @terrymike7053  - In most cases, peoples’ altered perceptions show them a world that isn’t “garbage” at all. The experience is completely beyond mere altering of perception. One could liken it to the positive psychological outcome of a severe crisis. There are few people who endure a deep trauma (which is also the German word for dream), who do not have their entire worldview changed. Perceptions of time, meaning, and reference within the world are expanded in ways that simply can’t be conveyed if one hasn’t experienced it.
    1
  793.  @terrymike7053  - Describing the perceptions one has in a psychedelic state is impossible. You really have no way of knowing what it’s like riding a bicycle if you’ve never ridden a bicycle. To be sure, the experience isn’t for everyone. If one wished to categorize the experience, they could accurately see more affinity with art and philosophy as opposed to office supplies or selling insurance. There are varieties of ways to appraise the world. Some are concrete, pragmatic, and analytical. Others, poetic, wholistic, or abstract. It’s not to say that either is the correct way of appraising reality. It’s probably no coincidence that those who are firmly convinced in their perceptions of practical reality as the final word on existence have a very bad time (a “bad trip”) on psychedelics. Not for everyone.

  800. I love how Styx is able to present issues forcefully but never look even vaguely arrogant or self-righteous. The left could learn from a strategy of sticking to obvious facts instead of whining with bitter hyperbole. Also, peppering a polemic with occasional references to “assholes” or getting “fucked in the ass” is perfect punctuation when addressing the nonsense that the Jacobin crowd conjures daily.

  802. There’s nothing in Democrats’ values or policies that demonstarate concern for the success and happiness of citizens of any race. They’re Proto-communists and their driving motivation is the ability to plan society - the power to mold it to their whim.

  809. Corrupting education quality is just one niche’ in the left’s overall scheme of hatred for advanced civilization. They’re essentially Luddites who have taken their crusade far beyond technology. Beyond an ideological worldview, what drives them is nothing more complex than jealousy. Jealousy of power, wealth, achievement, and greatness. Ayn Rand summed it up well when she described their affliction as “hatred of the good for being the good.”

  827. Public schools have become virtually worthless to the purpose of actually educating young people in basic knowledge. I used to infuriate the college Ed School faux (Marxist) professors by stating that students should simply leave the classroom knowing more than when they came in. They really believe that the purpose of education is to indoctrinate students to be followers in their stupid socialist “revolution.”

    1
  834. The problem with public education isn’t that lousy teachers can’t be fired. The problem is that they’re hired in the first place. A standard for hiring does not include wanting to share one’s knowledge and passion for a subject but fancying one’s self a social worker wanting to transform society. As a former teacher I can say with absolute certainty that most teachers are bland milquetoast suburban pseudo revolutionaries. A classic line of bullshit in college Ed Schools: “Do you teach the subject or do you teach the (‘whole’) child?” It’s absolutely beyond their comprehension that one could teach a subject to a child.
    1
  835. Nothing annoys me more about the left than their phony posing as rebels when they consistently support the control and coercion of fellow citizens. “Down with The Man”…”give us more Man.”
    1
  836. At this point, a reasonable person would likily support Trump just based on their disgust for how dishonestly he’s been treated. Remember that he was attacked before he was even sworn in…why? Because he wished to uphold American immigration law, support energy independence, etc. We should be rhetorically asking the leftist rabble, “why exactly are you opposed to making America great again?”

  844. It seems that any random concepts seen side by side (occurring in close proximity in time or space) can be seen on a wide spectrum from close relationship to being very unrelated. It seems inevitable that, at given times, high correlations of relatedness between things observed would occur. I’ve had some amazing synchronicities but still have to wonder if “God [is playing] dice with the universe.”

  845. They can lock him away in a cardboard box up to the election and he’ll still have overwhelming support. Retribution is in order. The left has fought dirty for at least a couple decades while Republicans still thought we were in the 80s.

  850. Isn’t that always the case? I think it’s hilarious when some coffee-colored person with caucasian features (like Halle Berrie) rambles on about how persecuted they are for being a “person of color.” Who even knew that Valarie Jarret (Obama’s key advisor) was black. Now we have Kamela Harris touting her credentials as a “person of color”....’might as well pick Elizabeth Warren - another rich successful caucasian appearing victim of systemic delusion.

  875. If Trump wins again, he needs to give a blanket pardon to himself to keep this nonsense from continuing perpetually. Also, it must be remembered, all this hatred for Trump is precisely because he wishes to enforce current immigration law, make America energy independant, and act with the prime value of making America great again. This is insane.
    1
  876. The leftist ideology that dominates so many corporate institutions today doesn’t even seem to care about the bottom line anymore. The clowns who run these shows are still going to get their check. They just want to be hero’s in the “revolution” their college professors taught them was coming.

  904. Right on all counts (as usual) but, I’m a little apprehensive over the fact that in most historical “revolutions” (coup d'etats) the rabble’s success was largely due to the fact that most of the population was indifferent to what was occurring and often gave tacit approval for the lunatic fringe’s machinations. If some radical nut jobs today sought major disruption, you can be sure that most Democrats and pampered progressive coffee shop poets would be cheering them on. Add to them a generation raised on politically correct sermons by public school “teachers” and the hopes of sane people could be dangerously minimized.

It’s amazing how the clowns of opinion-making begin clutching their pearls over harmless male attention to adult women but go out of their way to normalize every creepy deviant lifestyle they can. What is deviant is of course open to some degree of opinion but continually pushing the edge of what is acceptable while acting shocked over the most common sexual attitudes of most civilizations is just dumb.
    1
  911. It’s not just that they are Democrats. As Democrats, they govern from a world view that is distinctly left. In virtually every issue that faces a metropolitan area — or an entire country for that matter — the left’s values bring chaos, destitution, and failure.

  913.  @happyhunting1000  - You may be right but anyone who espouses the same values and policies as Trump will quickly be handed the same “baggage.” The left will lie, cheat, and steal to tarnish the reputation of anyone who dares resist their pathetic hopes to impose an authoritarian collectivist scheme.

Trading coconuts for fish is a system that doesn’t require a need to put anything “on paper.” The evil in the hearts of humans is facilitated by some systems more than others.

  928.  @craxd1  - Yes! Excellent insightful overview. I hate it when contemporary communists describe themselves as “democratic” socialists or “progressives” (as Styx had noted). They’ll do anything to put a smily-face on their evil doctrine.

  929.  @edreynolds8721  - On the surface, Vietnam definitely appears to be a more laid back expression of communism but we don’t live there. Any system that has imposed a monopoly of power by one group / party is certainly less than tolerant of “trouble-makers.” When establishing full authority over Vietnam, the communists were pretty predictable — purges, imprisonment, executions, and reeducation camps. Cuba often gets a lot of favorable press based on the illusion that decades of collective submission produces a kinder apparatus of state. Quaint tourist spots effectively mask a country that’s dirt poor and intolerant of opposition.
    1
  930.  @edreynolds8721  - Yep — on all counts. My biggest concern is that the establishment (already in positions of power) is basically communist in their intentions. Things like the World Economic Forum and UN’s sustainable development” con work in sympathy with American power brokers. They don’t even hide it anymore. They’ve made clear that their goal is to establish a world government with mass surveillance and micro-managed planned behavior. One always has to be careful now in being misinterpreted on social media and even personal communications so, I often simply suggest that…”When the time comes, respond accordingly.”

  934.  @williamchristy9463  - So what’s the excuse for LBJ…or AOC for that matter? As for difficulty and uncertainty, “AL” may have been appropriate for Abraham Lincoln. The point being in all of this is that left of center is endeared to the public in anyway the establishment powers can spin their image. Conservatives are either deprived of such adoration or openly chided as cruel and evil. If anyone were to read Barry Goldwater’s books they’d find him to be a very smart and honorable politician. If you watch videos of him in an interview, he was hilarious. Yet, when he as alive he was painted as an evil war-monger and heartless racist - of course (all completely unfounded). ‘Same goes for Reagan. Though it’s hard to smear so successful a presidency now, he was subject to non-stop ridicule and unjust appraisal when he was alive. “Leftist statists good” (“four legs”) “Constitutional traditionalists bad.” (“Two legs”).* (To quote Orwell’s “Animal Farm”).

It’s just a matter of time before prominent Republicans will be arrested and property seized on the mere whim of partisan bureaucrats.

They’ve got to know that they’re not only harming Trump but the country and its citizens. If he makes it to the next deserved term of office, I hope Trump thoroughly cleans house this time. At least this time around he’ll have a congress full of ultra MAGA. But he’ll still have to deal with the media and commie mobs in the streets.

  981. The pseudo-commies are just garden-variety (no pun intended) assholes.

  988. Peace and war in space is inevitable because they’re ultimately human/social extrapolations of the degrees of harmony and dissonance which exists between everything in the universe — war is archetypal.

  989. Any campaign that actively notes exactly what the Democrats have done to America would guarantee a Republic win. To begin with, they should stop calling them “liberals.” The Democrats are now statist authoritarian corporatists whose prime policy stance is control, regulation, deprivation, subsistence, and punishment. Sane voters don’t want to live in a gulag.

  990. Trump remains simply a guy who ran for president on a platform that would have been conventional to either party twenty-thirty years ago. After the great strides they’ve made in distrusting the constitutional order, the Democrats can’t stand the thought of returning to mere sanity. Trump must forever be branded a frightening extremist. It’s going to be great when they try to pull this nonsense again and the public response with a warranted eye-roll. My guess is, he isn’t gonna take any shit from these Marxist bastards this time around.

  1030.  @williamghost1516  - All good points but I’d only consider that wars usually do occur for “reasons” though they may be bad reasons and for selfish ends.

Some Dutch guy (I forgot his name) wrote a book called “Chimpanzee Politics” that’s quite interesting in this regard.

  1031.  @williamghost1516  - Yes… It seems to me that war is a complex extrapolation of a basic condition in physics. All things, no mater how small or large are in degrees of harmony or discord with other things. The interactions can bind them to each other or repel, often with the attribute we call violence or war on the human scale.

  1032.  @williamghost1516  - If Kamala Harris said it, it’s more likely to be a plan as opposed to an observation. There are always places low on specific resources. If you build a Las Vegas in the middle of the desert you have to be realistic about the outcome. In places like California, a water “shortage” is largely man-made. If you’re short on something, leave it to the government to make it even less abundant - “sustainable development” (orchestrated destitution).

  1038.  @terrymike7053  - It wouldn’t take a centralized authority to shut down the rabble in Portland (for example) - people who would gladly impose a horrid oppressive system on those who disobey the order they seek to impose. In a relatively open society, subversion more often than not seeks to eliminate the principles that legally outline a relatively free society. Up until recently, the guiding principle of law in America was its constitution. Subversive elements both inside the government and without have made it their mission to chisel away at the document and its values.

Lots of countries provide for freedom of speech, etc. they just don’t follow the rule of law. We are quickly heading in that direction, where relativism, statism, and other unsavory “isms” are dismantling the very concept of individual sovereignty. While allowing the state to enforce constitutional freedoms is a slippery slope on a road to self-destruction over time, there’s a case to be made for protecting a nation’s citizens and freedoms from all enemies….”foreign and domestic.” There are now plenty of those enemies about and little will to stop them.

The revolutionary spirit in America in the late 18th century produced the triumph of constitutional self-government. In France it produced the Terror and Napoleonic wars. In the end, times of upheaval usually work out well for someone. In our time, that someone could very well be the communist party of China. In any event, the age of material indulgence and “anyone can get ahead” is probably over. I’m just happy to have experienced the tail end of that unique paradigm.

Up till now, most of Japanese media simply parroted the left wing bias of CNN, the BBC, etc. Through them, Japanese citizens actually think Biden is a kind old man and Trump is the Anti-christ. Biden is of course a total idiot. Japan’s insular attitude has left it unscathed of the epidemic chaos imported into European and North American cultures.

Call it a destitute fascist dictatorship. The response from the left will always be total agreement with a notable absence of defensive caveats. Taken as a whole, this proves that leftists are dishonest, intellectually weak-minded, and probably assholes.

  1078. In astrology, age 28-30 is the “Saturn Return” and often marks a significant transition in one’s life course (marriage, divorce, childbirth, career-crossroad, etc.). Almost everything that occurs after age thirty is more or less a variation on what one has already experienced at least once. A reasonably aware person will enter their thirties with a renewed sense of purpose and practical awareness.

  1079. I’ve never understood the idea of a “left libertarian.” The left is essentially always a catalyst to the growth of centralized government. Leftism IS statism. I remember years ago, Noam Chomsky described himself as a “socialist anarchist” apparently not acknowledging the difference between no government and lots of government.

  1084. One of the left’s most stale and groundless accusations (aside from comparing people to Hitler) is that anyone who isn’t completely on board with their nonsense is insane and in need of reeducation or psychiatric evaluation. There is zero reason to think that Trump was any less stable than any other recent president. He pursues different policies than Democrats. Therefore “He’s a racist,” “he’s a Nazi,” “he’s crazy.” — One yawn and two eye-rolls.

  1085.  @hornetguy9063  - Yes. The rare existence of truly sincere public figures has now become obvious. In a world full of self-serving schemers and authoritarian ideologues, it’s cause for optimism that there are now some people on both the right and left that hold genuine convictions. Our dilemma is that there are so many of our fellow citizens who can’t seem to tell the difference between a charlatan and a true “public servant.”

  1091. Public schools are no longer capable of passing on practical or speculative knowledge. An American classroom has become nothing more than a soapbox for incompetent fools who don’t really even understand what they’re pretending to be rallying for. Teacher unions and government bureaucrats need to get the f…k out of our families’ lives. If they’re going to demand compulsory attendance in their partisan stockades, they need to go back to actually educating their captive audience in basic knowledge.

  1108. In Japan, Christmas is now a big holiday. The stores are full of Christmas decor and gifts are bought and given. One can often hear Christmas songs in public places, included the ones with blatant religious references (eg. Silent Night). I had read something hilarious once that, when they were just beginning to adapt the holiday in Japan, a department store, only vaguely aware of the different symbols, did a window display of Santa nailed to a cross. Hilarious!

  1109. It’s important to remember the sought after end point in all of this. The Democomms want to defeat Trump and establish maximum power so they can micro-manage society and dictate the minutiae of everyone’s life. Every socialist is merely a communist that hasn’t yet revealed their true intentions.

  1110. Memes are witty. Have you ever seen a witty leftist? A happy leftist? A curious leftist? Leftists can’t do memes because leftists can’t do life.

  1111. Same thing when communists take over a country. Sane people want to get out of dodge. Then, they eventually put up a “fascist protection barrier” or some other edict preventing escape. The last thing a leftist wants is freedom, safety, security, or prosperity. ‘All about control.

  1120. I don’t understand why the Democrats seem to have rejected Dean Phillip’s bid for the presidency. From what I’ve seen he appears youthful, fairly dynamic and level-headed. Kind of a 90s Democrat. I wouldn’t vote for him but surly there must be some Democrats somewhere who are fairly liberal but not completely insane.

  1123. Fraud, manipulation, and tabulation methods are definitely at least worthy of inquiry in the 2020 election. It was the first election where anyone holding procedures in suspicion were immediately subjected to a chorus of “there was no voter fraud”…end of story. Ever since the current election audit in Arizona began, Democrats have rallied lawyers and the media to put a stop to the investigation — go figure. Either the election was stolen or Democrats are very scared that the results of inquiry will show that orange man may indeed have won. Any person viewing more than one minute of Joe Biden talking has cause for legitimate suspicions.

  1128.  @yqafree  - That all said, I tend to see the current political divide as between those who want to control other people’s lives and those who want to be left alone.

  1130.  @aion5837  - Agreed, Classical liberalism does not promote “democracy.” On the other points, people can argue definitions and semantics endlessly. Classical liberals decidedly don’t “advance the the tyranny of the majority.” That’s a problem unique to attempted “democracy.” I wasn’t sure which stance you were claiming to be “elitist.” Certainly at a given time or place any ideology can be promoted by an elite. In our own time, in the West, elitism seems to be rather dominant among intellectuals and pseudo-intellectuals (e.g. educators and media talking heads) who desperately want to work in league with a power aggrandizing state to lord over those they see as simpler and undeserving of power over their own lives. What perplexes me is that those who support the elite and entrenched power structure genuinely fancy themselves as rebels. Thus we now have leftist “rebels” who are fully on board with the schemes of multi-national tech giants and corrupt government intelligence agencies. It’s certainly no coincidence that Orwell chose pigs to represent an intellectual ruling class in his novella, “Animal Farm.”

  1131.  @jules1896  - I basically agree with you but we can look at Gothic Cathedrals from 7-900 years ago and be pretty impressed with the magic they seemed to summon. Of course they’re more recent than Egyptian pyramids so we have a pretty good knowledge of how they were built. My only skepticism is that some people are often quick to assume aliens or divine intervention were at work in some of histories more amazing creations. I’m actually still pretty impressed with moon landings but they are so relatively recent that it’s all too clear what practical applications brought them about.

I don’t see a conspiracy in it but it seems that FOX made its quick turn about the same time as Drudge did (I realize that they have some opinion personalities that are still on board with libertarian conservatism — particularly Tucker Carlson, Guttfeld, and Mark Levin). The latest “never Trumpers” and clowns like Romney seem most moved by Trump’s recent non-scandalous call to the Ukrainian president. Utter nonsense. If they want to be convincing moralists they’re going to have to come up with a better excuse than that to trash this rare opportunity to dismantle the progressive game plan. Everyone who has joined the anti-Trump lame-ass bandwagon knows by default that they are supporting the deep state, globalism, and the creeping sludge of international socialism. We shouldn’t cut any of them slack for their flagrant stupidity.

Black markets will flourish and the omnipotent state will brutally punish anyone avoiding their stupid “system.” Best go back to trading beaver pelts.
