  1. not spoiled children. thugs working for bigger thugs, who can't be touched or else the whole degenerate facade will collapse. they have become the neighborhood mafia, working in public view because the international mafia, chiefly usa, finds it very convenient to have a neighborhood 'enforcer' to divert attention. there is no saving of israel, or usa, both must remain on top, to avoid revenge.

  2. one of the good things about democracy, is that public activity must be done in public, through referendum, so that the citizens can give/withhold assent, or issue a veto with initiative. result is honesty and sanity tend to characterize decisions. it's hard to be crooked or stupid when you are watched. 'democracy' is constantly heard in the west, but never seen. the word has been gutted, because of the necessity of using the word while doing theft or murder. nowadays it just means, 'we have elections!' which have zero effect on gov activity. there is very little actual democracy among nation states, the swiss used to come close, but i suspect the embrace of the e. u. is proving to be irresistible. the rest of you zombies don't even come close. nato politicians are politicians. they do what profits their career. for many, it's 'shoulder-to- shoulder' with equally corrupt and much more powerful usa politicians. those that are 'out-of-step' are equally corrupt, but happen to see more power/money in resistance. you would think all of humanity, minus politicians and plutocrats, would stand up and demand democracy. it is currently necessary, not merely desirable. politicians are driving humanity off a climate cliff.

  3. if you don't have the brains, or courage or endurance to get democracy, you have to put up with being laughed at by your masters. 'just you wait..' might satisfy children, but adults will realize that his replacement is equally unresponsive. you don't have democracy, folks, and you don't have what it takes to get it.

  4. left authoritarian? what's an example?

  5. suppose for a moment that usa was run by a caste of quasi-sociopathic thieves and murderers. now look at the actual ruling group? can you tell the difference? i can't. i participated in yer real live genocidal war crime, usually called 'the vietnam war.' some canadian complained about what he saw in a place called 'mylai,' and nobody went to jail, although the field commander did a couple of years in barracks while they waited for the blaze to subside. 'saint' jimmy carter actually spoke up on his behalf, presumably because he saw some votes in it. about 350 women and children, machine gunned in a ditch. i began planning to leave, at that point, i don't know how you can endure the shame. the thing is, the government has always been evil, and it shaped the whole nation to be complicit. fortunately, while the nation is capable of any crime, the people in it are incapable of much planning, beyond divvying the loot. we can reasonably expect collapse will be sudden, and not long in coming.

  6. oh, good! politicians are protecting you from lies! if you allow politicians to rule you, you are not entitled to the truth.

  7. there is a chance the bungle-on-the-capitol was a cynical exercise in preparation for drastic collapse of civil 'rights.' in favor is the obvious lack of brains involved, it was not meant to achieve anything but fear in the easily disturbed. against, is the consistent lack of intelligence throughout the trump interregnum. take yer choice, because it doesn't matter. the usa government is evil, but so corrupt that it is evil out of character rather than plan. they bite themselves, often. the usa constitution was written to keep the rule of the nation firmly in the hands of the 'betters.' it is consequently not responsive to the state of the nation, for the rich are the last to suffer. and the national education has been drawn to support this goal. the people are cattle, capable of the 'bungle,' incapable of citizenship, much less revolution. i wouldn't give a damn, but the aristos who direct that ship of state make war for profit and plunder the environment for profit, and are a danger to us all. the usa should be blockaded, all trade stopped, no visas issued.

  8. what's in a name. italians, like other sane people, don't like their government. so they try them out for awhile, and get sick of it, and flip a coin for something new. it's often done peaceful, nowadays, that's encouraging. unfortunately, it's never new - it's just another gang of politicians. the 'get sick of it' part happened over-night in limey-land, and my guess is this lot will be on the nose in a year as well. won't do any good, though. homo sapiens is just too stupid to see the use of democracy. it's genetic - several hundred thousand years of selecting for survival by saying "yessir!" to alpha males has marked our genes. the situation is not quite hopeless. there are sparks of proto-democracy here and there, although the continual use of the word for non-democratic societies is a deep worry. extinction is on the horizon, we may get a temporary reprieve from mere civilization collapse, whether from climate or war. should be lifting our game, but it's more of the same.

  9. aristotles book on politics was exhaustive, and had one conclusion that is very relevant today: 'democracy is the best that humans can do.' he was well aware of the limitations of homer sap. he also made an observation that modern writers fail to appreciate: it doesn't matter what label you put on the political system, what matters is the answer to one question. 'who decides?' when the people don't make the decisions, it is not a democracy. and saying it is pollutes the language, making it difficult to get democracy. 'the people's democratic republic of korea' is the leading example. but usa not far behind. people who publicly decry the 'loss' of democracy are not being helpful. you never had it, how can you lose it? i don't know why people keep worrying about the decay of american democracy, some i believe do it for money. there is no income arising from saying, "revolution is necessary!" that scares people.

  10. difficult to argue with mr hedges, but what tyrants love to hear is "give peace a chance." i estimate that this conflict has begun because of the expansion of nato, which has rolled over the former members of the ussr, one by one. nato is an imperial organ of usa foreign policy. it's nice that they use bribery instead of bullets, but usa is extending an empire, even so. and they promised not too, many years ago. liars to the core, everyone. finally, putin feels threatened, the wolf is at the door, so he starts shooting think of it as a much-battered wife, unable to fend of with muscles, so she picks up a gun and makes a winning argument, for a change. putin is no fool, unlike recent usa presidents, and i suspect he struck back reluctantly. but the di is cast, and we all wonder how this turns out. since falling into the hands of billionaires, ukraine has become the poorest nation in europe. there should be a lesson there, but homer sap is just too dim to understand the need to get democracy, at any cost. no shame in that ignorance, it is general, and the usa suffers from it. as a result, their masters have license to harrow the planet to feed their greed. there is no virtue on either side of this conflict. johnny, don't get yer gun.

  11. keep in mind, the western roman empire unravelled for about 200 years, and eastern staggered on for a 1000. we can't wait for a natural death.

  12. you don't have democracy. you don't know it. your 'political discussion' is whining in the slave quarters, or dancing for quarters on the sidewalk, with electronic amplification. what passes for education, in the youessay?
    1
  13. not strange at all. lies 'r us! is usa tactics.
    1
  14. the second amendment has a purpose: an armed populace can frighten politicians. but guns are useless, without organization and courage. how many people in usa want democracy? 10%? less...? if you are not willing to be a citizen, you must expect to be a serf.
    1
  15. what you should be talking about is why the usa tolerates oligarchy. the nation has heard about democracy, some states have it, notably california, but you blindly submit to a constitution written by a slave plantation grandee whose guiding motive was ensuring the rich ruled. are you never going to stand up?
    1
  16. in a democracy, the citizens decide major issues through referendum and initiative. without democracy, major issues are decided by elites, frequently in secrecy. once you have grasped this reality, political discussion not focused on getting democracy seems pointless, even childish.

  17. sorry, humanity is a 3 y.o. child playing with daddy's spare pistol. 'left-authoritarian'? [insert laughter here.]

  18. the masters of usa are blinded by many years of dominance, at home and in foreign affairs. they seldom hear 'no,' and assign no value to the word. the people of usa are ignorant, passive and doped by national myths. they have no control over their masters, or themselves. i think this will result in nuclear war, since neither putin nor xi resembles chamberlain, and both have the means to hurt usa severely. putin is much more likely to shoot first, since usa is ruled by people that want to live, while he is a genuine desperado. putin's best move is to tell zelensky publicly to evacuate kyiv, within a week. threats from usa should be publicly met with a list of usa cities targeted by missiles. i think this will result in usa backing down. they are ultimately ruled by money.
    1
  19. you watch the politicians with unease, or actual horror, and never ask, "why do we put up with this?" democracy is possible, even easy if usa people want it. but you are uniformly conditioned to submission. superficially capable of political opinion, but without the motive power of character to turn discussion into action. truly pathetic. unfortunately, your masters command great power and are utterly without ethical sense. a danger to the world's people. they are currently trying to suppress both russia and china. putin, in particular is likely to respond with any combination of military means necessary. while usa media are actively stirring up war fever. does no one in usa understand the likely result?
    1
  20. should be done? how about, ignore it? elon has pushed ev production significantly, homer sap owes him for that.

  21. what's wrong with americans? you've heard of democracy, some states have democratic constitution, and yet you accept the rule of politicians like they were god's messengers, or backed by the gestapo.

  22. it's not just jews vs muslims, israelis vs palestinians. it's also the evil empire maintaining a client state in the middle east. vietnam, iraq, afghanistan, and currently ukraine are all part of empire-building, lately with money rather than soldiers. they are trying to include taiwan in the program, but that could really blow up. usg doesn't care, they are just cynical careerists who will be far away and richer when things get bloody. i feel a little sorry for young people. they are a generation who will watch human society collapse, painfully. plenty of blame to go around, but the top of the list should be the usa. khomeini was laughed at when he characterized usa as 'the great satan,' but he saw clearly, even if his language was unfashionable.

  23. you don't have to put up with lying politicians. except if you are too lazy, ignorant or dim to organize to get democracy. the public service could run the nation, in public, under direction of referendum and initiative. but i guess that's too hard?
    1
  24. i just call the usa 'orcland,' it saves time.

  25. nato is a military pact, aimed at ussr, and now, russia. it has advanced by buying governments, simply bribing officials to sell their nations to usa commercial interests. this commercial war has rolled up to russia border. putin finally decided 'too far,' and went for the gun. think of him as a much-beaten wife, who decided to shoot the bastard. will he succeed? quien sabe? but unlike the last two usa 'leaders,' he appears to be sane and well-informed. would ukraine, the whole society, be better off as an independent buffer state? very likely. since it came under the control of billionaires, ukraine has become the poorest nation in europe.

  26. no erosion, the establishment of israel was a process of 'buy, frighten, shoot.' from the beginning. the intent was to build a jewish state, current occupants, largely muslim would have to leave. with near-success, the jewish bandits have started to white-wash their elders. 'this was always israel, we just took it back." if this principle was followed everywhere, the last human standing would feel he had to shoot himself in the head. and it suits the usa to assist. for no cost, in principle, the politicians get large chunks of usa jewish money for their election expenses, and their grandchildren's university fees. it was an invasion, it is an invasion, and israel has located itself on a bomb-sight. no immediate danger, middle east nations have been too busy dealing with cia plots, ethic hatred and historical violence, and no one is capable of troubling israeli military..

  27. politicians are not your friends. they are parasites,, hanging on from the men in iron suits day. you want a society run for the people? it's easy: get a society run by the people. make politicians extinct. manage affairs by the public service through referendum. control activity by the citizens through initiative. really, it's easy. but only if you are citizen-quality people. if you are willing to let politicians rule, then you deserve what you get. slaves will find masters.
    1
  28. they are politicians. if you let them rule you, you are complicit. allowing any elite to rule you is immoral, it corrodes their character and leads to widespread anger. the second amendment was explicitly passed to put the means of expressing discontent in the hands of the people. if you are unwilling to fight, you will be the slave of those who command soldiers. usa is a nation of the unwilling to fight. they are also mortal dim: they think they have democracy, they think politicians are doing democracy for them. dim!

  29. vogue, kanye? i just finished a rant involving the usa bubble of fantasy [elsewhere] and here you are suggesting something similar. the american dream is all too real, maybe i should have watched 'matrix' after all. see if you can get a p.r. visa to oz or enzed, folks- that ship is sinking.

  30. the 'american revolution' was chiefly motivated by actions in britain to end the african slave trade. slave plantation grandees [ "give me liberty, or give me death" ] were the major motive power, and in the north- the ship-owners whose business was chiefly concerned with delivering the slaves were also eager to continue the trade. remember that in colonial 'america' only male property-owners had any voice in the management of the colony. except rhode island, they were quite democratic. war fever was whipped up in the lower class with indignant reminders of taxes and tariffs, even so, half or more of the colony residents were in favor of remaining 'british.' if there is a second 'american revolution,' it too will serve the rich. and it may happen: the mask of 'democracy' is slipping off, some usans are at least puzzled at the vast distance between the label and reality, but the effective' revolutionaries will be the 'bubbas' and 'bucks.' the country folk have the guns and the attitude of contempt for city socialists to make them an easy foil for left unrest.

  31. btw: communist revolution? doesn't anyone want democracy in the land of the free?

  32. aristotle was smarter than you. he wrote a book about politics, classical hellas was chock-full of politics, and he came to several important conclusions: the fundamental question to ask about any society is, "who decides?" depending on 'who decides,' various labels appear, 'aristocracy' is rule by the best. monarchy is rule by a king, timocracy is rule by the generals, autocracy is rule by one, and democracy is rule by the citizens. usa is an aristocracy, although many would argue that politicians are not the best of humanity. others would contend that they are, particularly when they are, or seem to be 'the people's choice.' regardless of your opinion on this matter, the president, congress and supreme court rule the nation. certainly not the people. so the usa is not a democracy. consequently, when you hear someone say, "we need to do away with the electoral college," or "they should limit the term of justices," you are listening to a child dressed in his parent's clothes, or a fool, or a cynical liar intending to fool you into believing your opinion is valuable, when it is not. you have no formal input into the management of your nation. politically, aristotle would call you one of several disparaging words, but a not a 'citizen.' among those various kinds of political society, aristotle came to the reluctant conclusion that democracy was best. only because the others were worse. democracy is not unknown in the usa, several states have democratic constitutions and use them. but most of the people in the usa are simply not citizen quality. elites always rot, usa aristocracy is typified by donald trump. thing won't get better, the materials are not there.

  33. being a bell wether is not a good thing. they work for the station master, and have no balls. chris gives you his view of what is wrong, but he has little to say about fixing it, because he thinks revolution is a bad thing. and there is no fixing usa without revolution.. it might be bloodless, but only if the people have over-whelming strength, and frighten resistance. revolution is the transfer of power by force or threat of force. no one hands over power in response to a 'please?'
    1
  34. brought to you by the good folks at cia. they are defending usa from attack all around the world, generally in a proactive way, before the enemy even thinks to be rude. the only visible solution is for decent people to move to states with a democratic constitution, and then secede from the usa. go on, you know you want to do it! the roe vs wade decision might be the turning point. turn that anger to useful action. shouting at tv cameras is not gonna do it.
    1
  35. have you been to china?
    1
  36. what was the invasion of iraq labelled by the eu parliament? but i summarise by saying that politicians are a criminal element of human society. if we were capable of democracy we could make them extinct. but we aren't, so we are ruled by this mafia class.
    1
  37. 'should.' that encapsulates the fundamental flaw in the usa constitution. since it is not a democracy, the people do not have the mechanism of power in their hands. without initiative, they can suggest or beg, but not command. worse, they are taught that they have democracy, an improved version, 'done for you' by superior people called 'politicians.' there can be no hope for a populace of ignorant cattle.
    1
  38. politicians are your enemy. they are predators and parasites. get rid of them, and run the nation by the public service, under the control and direction of the electorate. [it's called 'democracy'] how to get rid of them? present them with a document establishing democracy, and offering the choice of submission or death. pretty sure the document will pass through house and senate rapidly. the new constitution can be short and simple. it only needs to establish the power of the electorate to direct the nation through referendum and initiative.
    1
  39. so, throw a few dollars to venezuela now, because usa is embarrassed, screwing europe to get ukraine, what a tangled web we weave.. i hope maduro charges a very high price, to sell out to a nation that has a visible intention to destroy his own nation. if maduro ever needs anything from russia, or prc, the price may be too high. but maduro is hurting, and putin won't mind, so long as the price is high enough. europe can resolve the situation by simply washing its hands of nato. i wonder if this idea is present in any members. surely some can see their present danger is from usa?
    1
  40. waste of money. with luck, they'll have a joke on the bulletin board at langley. i'm pretty sure cia directed the murder of jfk, why not start there.
    1
  41. if you are willing to let politicians rule you, you deserve to be cattle. it's genetic, really - african savannas, alpha males and beta side-kicks, homer sap began by letting the big guys have their way while the rest scurried around picking the left-over berries. hey, it worked. doesn't look like it will go on working cuz the alphas and betas are destroying the environment, but keep yer eyes down and hope for a miracle.
    1
  42. chomsky put together a list of usa meddling in other nation's rule, more than 100 examples, many involving mass murder. for me me, vietnam made me realize i wanted to live elsewhere, as being usan and not devoting my life to assassination of politicians would have been morally intolerable.
    1
  43. eventually everyone will realize trump is a dimwit. but there are lots of them, they recognize one of their own nature, and he will be able to command some attention for many years to come. usa public education is necessarily crap, it is a vital tool of plutocracy. blunts a lot of young minds. so 'progress' is nearly impossible. madison built a stable political culture, on the model of georgian england, and usa can not escape its heritage. try not to blow up the world, on the way down.
    1
  44. usa is hopelessly obsolete. silly fools are still letting politicians run the place.
    1
  45. usa is not a democracy, so you don't have rights. you have privileges, offered as bribes when some politicians needs more votes, and withdrawn when he doesn't need them. ignorant, passive people will be ruled by some elite, whether born aristocrats, military junta, or political gang. in the usa, it's the gang. if you want a better life, you have to be part of the ruling group. for most people that group can only be as the citizens of a democracy. but how to get democracy? you can't get it by voting for politicians. the transfer of power must come outside the laws of the nation. the laws maintain the power of politicians. revolution need not be violent, but it does require a lot of people willing to say, "or else!"
    1
  46. it's the wrong question. it does exist. it is reputed to have a significant nuclear strike, it's military has shredded objecting neighbors, they don't shoot anymore. and it seems to have a reliable grip on the usg. presumably usa jews buy allegiance from members of the government. so it's here to stay, for the foreseeable future. and it suits the usg to have a reliable attack-dog in the oilfields. recently, russia and saudi have announced they are good friends. this is a material blow to usa economy, and if it continues 'foreseeable' may be very short indeed. sbm may meet a 'lone gunman;' if he doesn't come to his senses. personally, i suggest the u. n. should supervise the creation of a secular state of palestine, including and terminating israel. that would be as close to justice as we can get. but homer sap rarely achieves justice, and israel is just another smelly spot on the pages of history.
    1
  47. don't blame the media - they do it for money. blame the people who are tolerant of plutocracy.
    1
  48. mr sirota is not looking at the big picture. all that is wrong with the usa is encapsulated in the constitution. it establishes elective aristocracy, from whence all kinds of evil flows. ms sinema is a trivial pimple on the face of a nation laboring under terminal cancer.
    1
  49. relax, comrades. the war is over, they won. emigrate if you can, retire to nowheresville and take up subsistence farming if you have no foreign languages. the war was lost when the constitution was established, slavery and ethnic cleansing poisoned the character of the nation from birth.
    1
  50. politicians are parasites, and much more dangerous to health nowadays. but homer sap decided to do what the big monkey wanted, long ago, and the habit persists when the fur is gone.
