everybody seeing the trick? if they hear that shaming doesn’t work, double down on shame for sure.
EVERY leftist jumps in to re-iterate the thing. Because if we aren’t careful, we could LOSE it!
Hearing that it doesn’t work, is not liked, make sure to do it more — leftists always double-triple down SPECIFICALLY on things that are disapproved of. That is the POINT. To normalize it. Look at the post Charlie Kirk assassination behavior.
Were there 150 million Native Americans actively, purposely killed to follow a systematized, articulated ideology? Less were killed? And NOT for a particular belief system?
And with the blood of 150 million on your hands, your IMMEDIATE go-to is “Same! If I am bad, then you must be at least as bad!” Cluster-B 101.
Gee, seems like the death toll is way less because while human history sure is imperfect and punctuated with tragedy, the tragedies are a thousand times worse anytime you systematize a belief system FOR committing atrocities.
If you want to play a game with pictures, we can do that too.
YOUR side believes in collective guilt — that’s the concept you are depending on when you show pictures of native americans to me.
But collective guilt is for OTHER PEOPLE, never for you. What have you done to atone for YOUR collective guilt and please explain why you appear to value victims of socialism at what, 1/1000, 1/10000 the value of “victims of capitalism” (which is apparently just anyone not victimized specifically by socialism..) why would you step over the mound of 150 Million to get to me?
the USSR collapsed because they were too nice! Because they were SPENDING MONEY being TOO super-good.
But where did their superior materialist system go? How did we go from the super-futuristic, super-superior, CORRECT, way of doing things to the lovable hapless town wastrel, maybe not gifted with forethought, but with an overflowing of compassion, gives money away to the needy until he’s a pauper.
Poor, poor USSR.
But THEY said systems can be violence.
Did they not enforce their millions-killing system at the point of a gun along with every trick, full spectrum, from terror to demoralization?
We know that if all those people had been left to manage their own affairs, vastly more people would have been better off. And PEOPLE are the measure of Socialism’s success or vast failure, not abstractions.
Your tale of a generous soul spending willy-nilly, too nice to make it in this mean cruel world is comical.
Now do the next bit – “stabbed in the back,” where’d you guys lift that one from again?
Apsnaz – what you’ve been doing is to re-do the trick, in various ways, that I specifically say does not work anymore. Your every response to me boils down to that.
By the frequency of your posts, you make it look like it’s something you’re afraid you will lose, so you’ve got to take action ASAP. Kind of like how the Democrats were going to lose racism, so they “saved” it.
The biggest lie, the lynchpin lie of the left, is that the NAZIs were “far right” when they were just heretic far Leftists. Socialists. It is in the name. Yet the left has gotten so, so much mileage from making out, “Ye’ve the devil in ya, Johnny”
The idea that people with normal American values – the old pre-left western humanities, Christianity, the constitution, non interventionism, if they actively defended their things, are just a hair’s breadth away from “taking it too far” and slipping into being nazis.
This is how we got the ridiculous concept of the ideological shoehorn instead of spectrum – it has to bend back around so Hitler and Stalin (or Hitler and Mao) can shake hands over the gap. To try to take some absurd account of the fact that Hitler and Stalin are both on ONE side of the spectrum, you have to bend a line into a shoehorn. This offends occam’s razor.
So then you reach for other things that normal conservative Americans aren’t — to accuse them of being. Neocons. Rhinos.
You’re just doing the same trick, casting about for someone, anyone else’s shame to dump it on conservative Americans. Regular Americans don’t want to send hundreds of billions – trillions really – of free shit to Israel. So blame them – what are you smoking?
And again with the complaints about Palestine. I see a few possibilities.
1. You’ve lived in a bunker for the past 10 years and were innocently unaware that the Left meatsuited the Palestine issue. You’re confused. Come back when you know anything about what is happening.
2. You KNOW the Left took over the issue. Being in Communist China, you should have a better affinity for these people. Politicians who support them keep having Chinese handlers. Talk to THEM if you’re unhappy with how the movement is proceeding.
You keep doing this pantomime where you’re educating and informing? Imparting pretended revelations of guilt?
Bro, I keep telling you, I approve the deal of Mossad helps clear out the leftists in exchange for support for Israel. You don’t have to sell me on it even more by trying tactics I am very familiar with and have had my full of for ten years already.
Ohno, “conservatives” call Gaza protesters hateful, do they? Oh whatever shall we do, let us clutch our pearls.
Various generals and advisors of Hitler have remarked how he was beside himself, frustrated, angry, exasperated, that the USSR remained in alliance with the US and the British Commonwealth. “Dammit, this alliance should CRACK, they hate each other, their systems are intrinsically opposed, what the hell could be keeping them together?? My future strategy depended on this very obvious thing happening!!! What do they have in common, even?”
YOU. You are the thing they have in common. YOU are the reason they aren’t fracturing. Duh.
You don’t like politicians posturing as pro-isreal? You seem to have more of an affinity with and for Leftists, being in Communist China as you are. Talk to them an explain how their efforts in the West these past 10-50 years led to this alliance of necessity.
The Western allies didn’t like being allied with the USSR. What’s your point? Cry me a river if you like.
You’re just doing the trick again in response to hearing “the trick doesn’t work” — you’er afraid you’ll lose, it, so you double-triple down on it. Who could have predicted?
TDS is Leftists and normies getting angry at the cartoon character called Trump by Leftist captured media and institutions.
while the things I hate about Leftists are things they are actually doing and have done in real actual reality.
Whyever would you only ever post on American leftism in ways that defend it by way of attacking its critics? What oh what reason could you have, from where you are sitting in Communist China?
for Leftists functioning only in abstraction, it WOULD be natural to say “you are me. you are the same as me. however bad I am, you must be at least that bad” That’s just Cluster B 101.
Humoring this on the right ended with the Charlie Kirk murder. We do NOT buy that anything you do, we automatically must be just as bad.
the Left meatsuited the Palestine issue. If you have a complaint on how it is going, check with its owners.
If you don’t like the results of the Left posing themselves as existential threats to both Israel and the US, talk to them about it. I absolutely oppose what is happening to Gaza and for what it’s worth have contacted all my representatives multiple times.
But I am not lending my energy to Leftists who want to destroy me and my country, so it stops there. And ultimately, Leftists controlling the US would have USSR like consequences. Mossad kneecapping the Leftist movement while Israel attacks Gaza is an understandable trade as opposed to 30-100 million dead Americans and 70 years of misery for the ones that live.
The notavax was a leftist power move. First really big move they made the moment they achieved institutional dominance – classic leftism. Plenty of people getting genocided over here too. Boxcars came in needle form. Maybe for you that’s a good thing or maybe for you an American life is worth less than any other. Don’t care, man.

NAZIs were Socialists.
“The door refused to open. It said, “Five cents, please.”
He searched his pockets. No more coins; nothing. “I’ll pay you tomorrow,” he told the door. Again he tried the knob. Again it remained locked tight. “What I pay you,” he informed it, “is in the nature of a gratuity; I don’t have to pay you.”
“I think otherwise,” the door said. “Look in the purchase contract you signed when you bought this conapt.”
In his desk drawer he found the contract; since signing it he had found it necessary to refer to the document many times. Sure enough; payment to his door for opening and shutting constituted a mandatory fee. Not a tip.
“You discover I’m right,” the door said. It sounded smug.
From the drawer beside the sink Joe Chip got a stainless steel knife; with it he began systematically to unscrew the bolt assembly of his apt’s money-gulping door.
“I’ll sue you,” the door said as the first screw fell out.
Joe Chip said, “I’ve never been sued by a door. But I guess I can live through it.”Philip K Dick – Ubik
with the robotically controlled stuff, it’s bad enough that an Amazon delivery person can imagine, from the automated msg coming from the Amazon Ring™ doorbell – which they can barely perceive over the music in their headphones – that they heard a racial slur that wasn’t said, report it to Amazon, and get the guy’s ENTIRE smarthome shut down with no clear way of appeal or redress.
Now you have something remotely operable that moves around. What if there’s a command to simply immobilize you? Grab your wrist and a solid object – a great “nonviolent” way for authorities to detain a criminal? What if it grabs your wrist where you have no access to communication, food, water, a bathroom and gets stuck in that mode? Who would you complain to and how?
Clearly, a faceless someone within Amazon decided to #resist the homeowner with an Amazon Ring™ doorbell with no provision with the company on how one turns one’s house back on. Leftists love attempted murder via swatting. Now, if you swat someone, does your robot grab you? Or can you, like the anonymous Amazon #resistor, see someone online or on a list you don’t like and trigger this feature?
We wouldn’t be stupid and set robots up in a crazy way I suggest, except we wouldn’t be stupid and do that with smarthomes either, which we did. Immediately.
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/freedom-shirts-reportedly-banned-kansas-elementary-public-school
An elementary school in Kansas has raised a novel question under the First Amendment: whether the freedom of speech includes the right to use the word “freedom.”
Notably, the Olathe Public Schools district itself sells “We All Belong Together” shirts via its Department of Culture and Belonging. However, “Freedom” shirts were banned, at least temporarily.
Where does this compulsion come from, to label any exercise of power “tyranny, losing Our Democracy, racism, fascism”?
The power exists TO BE EXERCISED. That’s a feature not a bug.
People are put in positions of power – everything from President down to call center supervisor – for the purpose of being empowered to fulfill their roles. To do what is necessary and useful. The President “shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed” (Article II, Section 3)
So why alternate between blindness/amnesia and approval when forces contrary to our common sense and decency as well as our Constitution ratchet towards ever-more-alien anti-American changes? Why the queasy feeling when someone simply does what the Constitution requires of them, but is their JOB DESCRIPTION according to that document?
And I realized… The myth of Nationalist Socialists being “right wing” is THE master lie of the Left.
By screeching for 3/4 century that their fellow SOCIALISTS were “right wing,” they created a myth that anyone “on the right” was teetering on the brink of “Fascism” (which was actually Socialism, so, not in the cards for a slight move AWAY from the Left)
Then, it was a constant crescendo. From merely saying that super-rare-extreme-far-right can get that way in rare instances where an entire society goes nuts to saying that society is riddled with CURRENTLY “far-right” (actually Socialist if truly NAZIS, so weird to say/think) …and from there saying that almost all of society is “subconsciously” and intrinsically “far-right” (NAZIs, ergo socialists, weird…)
And that’s where we are right now, where any exercise of power that does not ratchet leftward is supposed to be worthy only of mindless dread, disgust, terror, disapproval, shame.
The Constitution is a LIBERAL document. Re-establishing traditional American values re-establishes LIBERAL values. The past 10 years have shown just how anti-liberal the Leftists are. That is, COMPLETELY. They’re fighting Liberals, not “conservatives” right now. They’re marshaling their institutional power, their rent-a-crowds, etc to desperately prevent ratcheting back towards LIBERAL ways of organizing society.
And it is only revealed now how specialized they were in this one trick.
Imagine an abusive family, a typical Eriksonian situation with a Black Sheep. Imagine it’s a whacko religions family along the lines of Carrie. The family pours all its sins, dreads, fears, projectively, into the Black Sheep. And so all their life they hear:
“Ye’ve the DEVIL in ‘ye, Johnny”
And so any maltreatment, anything to keep him down, would be justified based on a premise that he has “the devil in him” and he is teetering, always predisposed to go Evil Incarnate if he does things his way for even just a liiiiiiitle bit.

As far as “Conservative” or “Right-Wing” goes, the values are generally to curate the best of what WORKS across millennia and pass it on. That’s the essence of conservatism. So that you don’t have to rediscover everything from first principles after “freeing your mind” and slaving away all your life, blindly bumping into walls, not freed by solutions of the past to do the things you really wanted.
And generally, Conservatives, Right-Wingers, psychologically, are the ones that recognize healthy boundaries. Know how far your personal bubble extends. Realize you HAVE one that ends somewhere. Recognize others each have one. Leave me alone. Mind your own business.
So the Leftist puts a mask on top of a mask on top of a mask.
They’re fighting Liberals, but they say they’re fighting the Right Wing. Then they slap their own projective mask – Nationalist Socialism – on top of THAT mask. And shriek “Ye’ve the Devil in ‘ye, Johnny!”
And somehow this has WORKED. And what do they have WITHOUT it? When power is exercised for the reason it existed and “Awww no. I know what that is. That’s The Tyranny” And finally people just roll their eyes at you or laugh at you. NAZIs and Communists are both on ONE SIDE of the spectrum. Leftists are just butthurt because the German socialists went Rogue Nationalist Socialist and betrayed Internationalist Socialism.
And it serves 2 purposes. One internal – to make sure nobody ever, EVER gets offsides aganin and thinks about benig a Nationalist leftist. And the other – to scare everyone that to raise so much as a finger as someone on the Right or as a Liberal is to teeter on the brink of madness, of holocaust, of tyranny. When the Right in America means backing the Constitution, which enumerates an interlocking system to prevent Tyranny – while the Left ever more openly PRACTICES Tyranny and labors to increase it.
Leftists, the NAZIs are YOU. You’ve basically lost your projective weapon already – the trigger point being the Charlie Kirk murder. They may not yet have articulated that this specifically was your weapon, but millions and millions have woken up from a long dream and realized they actually ARE the Good Guys.
We just need to, EVERY time they screech “tyranny” when we try to dial things back to what, 2015? 2020? Have we even gotten back to 2022 yet? “arrrrggghh no, ye’ve the devil in ye johnny!!!”…. we need to remind them “You are talking about YOURSELVES“
inversion — masks prevent leftists with no principles, morality, or sometimes sanity, from going after law enforcement officers carrying out the law, their families, their friends, their churches etc
translates into its opposite – the masks are threats!
leftists wish to terrorize law enforcement, ergo, prevention of this with masks is terrorization — because the leftist always points their finger and accuses their victim of whatever they are doing or plan to do
Tim Pool makes the correct argument that if Federal Agents have to wear masks or risk being killed for enforcing Federal Law, then that State is already in open rebellion.
no, this is incorrect. the masks are a psychological tool to intimidate
Your argument for a ban on leftists wearing masks deserves serious consideration.
yknow, crass, tasteless American mass transit. Gotten rid of by the big brain smart people who knew the past was stupid, ignorant, and inferior

Psychopaths and Sociopaths have spoken of water and health while poisoning water (with drugs, fluoride, chloramine, etc)
Wait, HITLER drank water.
Anyone who talks about healthy water, advises you to drink more water that is healthy, that drinks water themselves – clearly a sociopath. Your’e the same! You all have to be the same, probably worse, at the very least!
But actually
After – just to name a FEW things related to Kimmel – bomb threats and shooting up a TV station, Kimmel was put back on the air.
This is continued normalization of Leftist violence – not a step back, but a step forward – the left making a statement “This is a thing from now on. And people will do what we tell them because of it.”
The response should have been the opposite – an announcement that precisely because of the violence and threats of violence, Kimmel isn’t coming back.
The fake cry-gloating – he knew, we knew, he knew we knew, we knew he knew we knew, etc.
“I would never condone political violence, but (slander Kirk, insinuate, etc, etc, etc)”
Condoning political violence while conducting a humiliation ritual – SWALLOW THIS. Do not say I am doing the thing I am doing. Nod along with me now.
I’m realizing that everything is coming down to a single answer in discussions with leftists:
“YOU don’t believe what you are arguing.”
My take is that there IS a sincere belief – perhaps not a belief, a sensibility, a desire, it’s just not up for discussion, the holder of the belief believes their argument FOR their belief is stronger when it is never ever discussed, which is what makes people SEEM irrational, unconscious, “misled”
Barsoom argues that when language deteriorates sufficiently, sapience degrades or disappears
https://barsoom.substack.com/p/homo-umbrans
the whole thing is worth reading but here are some excerptsOur default assumption has long been that any entity capable of chattering away in something passably resembling a coherent response to a prompt expressed in natural language must, ipso facto, be sapient, and therefore a human being in something beyond the very basic morphological sense of the term: not just a hairless biped, but a person. The existence of Large Language Models should destroy that superstition for all time. LLMs are not sapient, but they are perfectly capable of natural language processing.
we can say that metacognition requires cognition as a precondition: in order to think about thinking, including one’s own thinking, one must first be able to think. Thinking, in turn, requires language to rise above a very low level. Thus, while natural language processing is clearly not sufficient for sapience, it is probably an absolutely necessary precondition.
What happens to sapience if the linguistic network becomes corrupted? Say, for example, by deliberate confusion of the terms ‘man’ and ‘woman’?
Confusion of language does not remain limited to the specific corrupted vocabulary. Linguistic networks are relational. Words are defined in terms of other words, by a process of analogy or metaphor. Indeed, at a deeper level than language, metaphor is the stuff of thought: we understand one concept in terms of its similarities to adjacent concepts. Therefore if one concept is corrupted, the corruption spreads to all related concepts. When ‘man’ and ‘woman’ are confused, so too are concepts such as ‘masculine’ and ‘feminine’, ‘boy’ and ‘girl’, ‘the ladies’ room’, ‘pregnancy’, ‘breastfeeding’, ‘sexual organs’, ‘prison for women’, ‘women’s shelter’, ‘violence against women’, and so on. The blot of darkness introduced by corrupting a single concept spreads its umbra over every concept that it touches.
The left of today is both the perpetrator and the primary victim of the most thorough corruption of language that the world has ever seen. It is not only ‘man’ and ‘woman’ that have been confused, although this is the most recent duplicity, and the most acute symptom of the underlying ontological rot. Corrupted language is everywhere you look.
Leftists say ‘hate’ when they mean ‘love of one’s own’, and when they say ‘love’ they mean at best the most debased of perversions, and at worst ‘hatred of one’s own’. They say ‘social justice’ to mean antisocial injustice: a process by which society is unravelled by apportioning reward and punishment without reference to individual behaviour. They call speech, violence, and violence, speech. They say ‘trust the science’, when they mean ‘believe without question, without argument, without evidence’. They call infanticide ‘choice’. ‘Democracy’ has come to mean ‘rule by the diktat of unaccountable bureaucrats’, while ‘authoritarianism’ is used for ‘the popular will of the majority of people’. Racism is held to be the highest sin, even as ‘race is a social construct’. The say ‘multiculturalism’, and mean a lowest-global-common-denominator monoculture mass-produced by corporate managerialism. They say ‘diversity’, and mean rigidly enforced ideological uniformity. They say ‘inclusion’, and mean exclusion of everyone whose inclusion is not specifically enumerated. They say ‘equity’, and mean theft. They say ‘liberalism’, and mean socialism or even communism. They say ‘fascism’, and mean classical liberalism. They say ‘Nazis’, and mean libertarians or even just basic conservatives. They say ‘extreme far right’, and mean ‘the majority of people, who believe what everyone believed until five minutes ago’. They say ‘progress’, and mean ‘decay’. They say ‘tolerance’ and mean ‘forced celebration’. They say ‘marginalized’ and mean ‘favoured’. They say ‘oppressed’ and mean ‘oppressor’, and vice versa.
The corruption of the left’s language is so total that it is difficult to think of any words in their lexicon which retain their dictionary definitions (unless they’ve used their institutional power to change the dictionary). This led Mark Bisone to characterize their idiom as the Black Speech of Mordor: a language infused with a dark sorcery that corrupts mind and soul merely by speaking it. Bisone warns against using the Black Speech ourselves, for to adopt the enemy’s dialect is to open our own souls to the same conceptual perversion. The left’s long-standing discursive hegemony makes this difficult to avoid, as when one reflexively says ‘liberals’ to refer to leftists. I’m as guilty of that as anyone.
If sapience rests on a foundation of a language, it follows that corruption of language must reduce one’s capacity for sapience. Deprive a child of language entirely, for instance by isolating them in a room, and the parts of the brain that process language wither away, leaving them no more than a half-clever beast. Corrupt language sufficiently, and thought itself becomes impossible; with cognition reduced to so much emotional static, metacognition follows; the inner light of self-awareness gutters, dims, and goes out.
When we speak of the ‘woke mind virus’, it is not just some body of contagious postmodern witchcraft that we’re looking at. It’s much worse than that. It’s a memetic weapon that eats people’s minds, that chews away at the connectivity in their prefrontal cortex and reduces them to beasts whose meaningless babble is nothing more than camouflage for predatory intent.
The psychic shockwave echoing through the social order right now isn’t because a beloved public figure got shot.
It’s because in the aftermath every human being who hasn’t been hollowed out by the psychic infection got a full view of the horror it has unleashed.
These are no longer Homo sapiens, because they are no longer sapient. They are Homo umbrans: the shadow man, the man who has blotted out the inner light, the man who has embraced the lie and embedded self-deception at the very core of his being. They have made themselves into anthropoids who only mimic humanity, and the verisimilitude is less convincing with every passing day.
You cannot have a conversation with Homo umbrans, because words have no meaning to it.
You cannot reason with Homo umbrans, because it does not possess reason.
You cannot convince Homo umbrans of anything using ‘facts and logic’, because it does not even recognize what these categories even are.
Moving on from there…
Hollowed out bodies do not stay empty.
Liberal leftist atheist Naomi Wolf, Liberal Leftist Atheist Kunstler, years ago, started coming around to saying they were getting the inescapable gut feeling that something legitimately demonic was going on.
I’m getting there myself. Barsoom’s video examples of leftists show people who, in their eyes, in their facial movements, almost give the sense of something puppetting them.
And when average everyday leftists try to shove shit down my throat, knowing, knowing I know they know, knowing I know they know I know, with that GLOATING look. Is it actually just gloating at the fuckery they are sending my way? Is it something gloating in front of me at what they can make this person do?
“This man walked into this business in Houston and told this store owner that he has 30 days, to get the booze, pork and gambling out of his store, or face protests”
Sorry. I don’t believe in your religion and I don’t practice its observances. Here in the US, part of the cause of our prosperity and safety – such as is left – is by our belief in things like freedom of religion – which also means freedom from other people’s religion.
Now I will draw you this quick picture of Mohommed. You won’t lose your shit and prove you don’t belong in the US, will you? You’re not looking to benefit from our culture WHILE being its enemy, are you? It’s just a stick figure with a label over it, a quick test to verify if you are part of my extended family or a hostile alien.

No, OReilley, It is exactly liberals and liberalism that are gone from all corporate media.
DEFINITIONALLY there are zero liberals in favor of political assassination.
“Y U So rIgHt-wInG now, bro?”
let me help you with the confusion by just pointing out a few mistakes and hope you can think the rest of the way through.
You cannot tell the difference between a Right Wing Conservative from 1957 and a left-leaning liberal from 2025.
You cannot tell the difference between an INTJ who has had their every hobby, interest, loves, and work invaded and is experimenting to see if ANYTHING can get past “there shall be no discussion” on the one hand and autism on the other.
If you find yourself in such a situation, you have allowed someone else to corral you, to define your terms for you, and are meekly agreeing to stay put, like an adult elephant that lets themselves be tethered by a tiny string. Working The Problem or Admitting The Problem has to remain outside one’s field of consciousness.
I suppose most people landed on “liberal” as a value system because it was comfortable and accrue virtue points on oneself – it was the totally dominant worldview. And then, to gain even MOAR comfort and virtue, the mass of people that turned out to be unprincipled go-alongers, by carrot and stick – even MORE virtue, avoid losing comfort – drifted left until they are unrecognizable.
I would love to get back to the 80’s or 90’s and, in our color blind society, glory in everyone getting to play EACH IN THEIR OWN WAY and that what we have together is a result of that, luxuriate in all the socialistIC policies we might enact for our peoples’ benefit, play around in the edgy margins of a stable society.
I wouldn’t mind socialists LARPing that they are fighting evil oppression – knowing they are doing so in my society because it is the safest, least oppressive society in which to LARP that you are fighting oppression. (still waiting for the horde of US feminists to paradrop into Pakistan to Fight Patriarchy as opposed to sidling up to the gentlest man they can find to lecture them) I’d be totally cool even with that, I’d find it endearing, actually.
Why can’t some people tell the difference between a leftist liberal who knows what time it is and a John Birch Society 50’s dead dude? Post Kirk assassination, wtf, bro?
“Why was I chosen?’
‘Such questions cannot be answered,’ said Gandalf. ‘You may be sure that it was not for any merit that others do not possess. But you have been chosen, and you must therefore use such strength and heart and wits as you have.”
And here when Tolkien says “time,” he means the era you live in, not the amount of time you have in your life.
“I wish it need not have happened in my Time,” said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such Times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the Time that is given us.”

I loved Star Wars as a kid, but Return of the Jedi made me feel ill even then.
The culminating scene where the Emperor tells Luke that if he kills him, then he’ll become evil, just like the Emperor.
No bro, actually I’ve been training to fight evil for awhile now. Jedi practice with these lightsabre things specifically to fight evil. You think we had them and trained on them to attack GOOD people? What?
No dude, I won’t chop off your head for evil purposes. I’ll chop your head off – in exactly the way Jedi TRAIN to chop off heads – for good and against evil. it’s super obvious, hardly requires a second’s thought.
“But an evil person would be evil by not having a second thought! ha-HAAAA!”
Dude, you are the evil emperor and I am Luke Skywalker. Plus, you’re currently hatching an evil plot to kill all the good guys while running an evil empire????
“Labeling someone so starkly as ‘evil emperor’ and ‘I’m Luke Skywalker”? Luke Skywalker, trust me, I’ve been an Evil Emperor for decades now, I’ve got the wisdom an experience to know. These sort of black-and-white posturings are just the sort of thing that makes you a bad person. So kneel to evil. Do not resist it.”
Maybe The Emperor that stupid. Or maybe he’s so stupid this is his stupid dishonest gambit, but whatever, just shrug sadly at his idiocy and chop the evil emperor’s head off.
“But you’ll be OTHERING me and that’s what evi—” bzzt-thunk.
Luke “rebels” by throwing his lightsabre away. The Narc’s dream. Just nag them into not defending themselves. Predictive programming.
Cluster-B’s, Narcs, lack the cognitive ability to perceive context, therefore meaning, therefore empathy. THEY think that everything is just a competition. THEY are convinced everyone else, in their empathy, sympathy, affection, their morality, decency, are engaged in disgusting lies to get the upper hand over them.
This is why, if someone or something virtuous or better-liked turns out to be imperfect, the Cluster-B jumps on it with an amazing amount of viciousness and triumph – ah-HA, I KNEW it, I KNEW you were hollow, fake, doing it just for advantage, trying to get one over on the other guy JUST LIKE ME. Trying to get one over on ME!!! I KNEW that YOU, that thing you like, YOUR system, whatever, was hollow, empty, nothing!
Or if you fight back, same. Either Narc sees you as stupid victim or same. The answer is a SHRUG, man, NOT obsequious apology or frozen self-doubt.
Studies that show that the Right can articulate the Left’s views, but not vice-versa.
Charts showing Dems have gone way, way left, off the deep end while Republicans stayed roughly the same, a little more moderate.
Studies showing the left has a propensity for the Dark Triad, Cluster-B, etc.
More than half of Dems are alright with political assassination.
What the Left told you they would do and already followed through on, things they say they will do – these things are demonstrably totally different than everyone else and STILL people say if the right (and by right, we really mean just normal people, but we feel a compulsion – from somewhere – to superimpose people in Hugo Boss uniforms over normal people….) pipes up at all, they are exactly the Left only more so.
What does it TAKE to, in your low testosterone prozac haze, while being continuously kicked in the crotch and having your mother insulted, for you to acknowledge that hey wait, maybe there ARE good guys and bad guys.
look. just LOOK. good god.
I checked out Antifa before the Troubles in what, 2012? Possibly 2009? There on the fucking website BANNER was a vow to destroy “capitalism and the American family”
Modern leftists have decided – a decades long process, not spur of the moment – that the cultural structures must be destroyed. These include Nation, vehemently, obviously, ANY kind of nationalism or national identity is “fascism” or “far right”
But people are only beginning to catch on the the other side of the spectrum which Leftists are JUST as vehement about destroying – family. You can see all the various agendas that SEEM chaotic but are actually convergent on this target. You must recall all the assertions from Democrats/Marxists in national speeches that Children do not “belong to’ their parents but “belong to” All Of Us (not you…) And it has been a DOS attack, on any vector, to the extent the attack can be made.
Soft, of course, but harder and harder as virtual “space” is occupied. The space of what, in the public mind, can conceivably happen. Which is why the left LOOKS idiotic always, no matter what, doubling, tripling, quadrupling down. But case in point, they have in fact established that when the LEFT advocates for assassinating people they do not like, spreads misinformation to justify their political assassinations, that is NORMALITY. Kimmel back on the air.
Is kidnapping a child from their parents, mentally abusing and permanently damaging them, then cutting off their sexual organs disgusting and insane? Yes. Is it now normalized as a thing that EXISTS, like a mountain in the near distance that has always been there? YES. By always doubling down. And they were saying for DECADES they regard parental “ownership” of children as the “capitalism” they mean to overthrow. They kept TELLING you.
Why worry so much about the bullet, etc? Wtf. Look at what the Left DOES.
For a thought experiment, let’s say Kirk’s murder was a psyop of some kind. Clearly aimed at the Left.
They did NOT disavow. They have demonstrated that they are CAPABLE of very loud, nationwide, wall-to-wall, vehement messaging – CORPORATE SUPPORTED in addition to astroturf, what did they DO with it? Had they WANTED to take anything that wasn’t the low road, they had all the power in the world to do so.
Was there any sort of strong disavowal from any major component of the left, its official organs in entertainment, “news”, corporate advertising, politics at any level, punditry, think-tanks, ANYWHERE? Did the left, ANYWHERE re-affirm normal american values in terms of how the obvious rift in the nation gets healed?
Across the left spectrum, from astroturf and grassroots, from radical to “moderate,” we saw double-triple-quadruple down.
Most obvious case in point – Kimmel going back on the air WITHOUT apology or disavowal.
This is more powerful for the left than if Kimmel hadn’t got himself into trouble in the first place. Now political assassination is, most definitely, something “we” support, blatantly lie in favor of, and then continue on doing, ensconced safely and prosperously in “our” institutions.
If Kirk’s assassination was an op, the Left’s response was HELL YES, EXACTLY THAT. And how were they able to have such a quick, full-spectrum response? How many days did Kimmel even stay cancelled? This is your new mountain in the near distance – always was, always will be there. That’s the intention anyway.
So we go from “Hitler!” to “Tyranny!” back to “Fascism!” alternating with “Tyranny!” (with occasional “Wholesale!” …but doesn’t that actually sound kind of like “wholesome?”) and all it means is Witches Brew, Outcast Unclean, Ick.
Words mean things – for non leftists, that is. For leftists, there’s just a river of undifferentiated sludge accessed by multiple – in and of themselves meaningless – access points – trigger words.
You can tell when someone has garbage ideas while acting in bad faith — they maintain vagueness. They make oblique attacks, they concentrate on evocative imagery or, through a vague comment, triggering concepts they are confident were long pre-embedded. Just reference the thing.
When your position requires that you avoid even direct reference to your position – when your position is so weak, it is the weakest part of your argument FOR your position, why not reconsider?
So for days now we get reminders that anything that does not ratchet further leftward is The Ick.
Remember what you’re supposed to believe and not believe. Remember to police what you say. Avoid the ick. Stop doing the ick.
You avoid specificity because the actual specific motives you have are garbage and you know you lose on them – it’s why you cannot speak of them.
So focusing on Charlie Kirk and what it means for the US and the West is tabloid, is lowbrow, is the ick, but of course, in real reality, the one that is actually real and exists, it matters and has quite a bit of meaning to it has quite interesting intellectual as well as practical implications. but ick!
While it doesn’t matter at all and is just tabloid ick, ALSO it’s important to remind everyone that if power is exercised in any direction that does not ratchet leftward, it’s the ick! Very, very serious! Tyranny, people! And if power is exercised in a direction other than leftward, regardless of HOW it is used, regardless of difference in METHOD, remember people, THAT’s the ick! Tyranny!
Remember that whatever the Left is, the Right is exactly – only moreso! – if it so much as lifts a finger against it in any way.
Like any religion – assumptions layered with assumptions layered over assumptions, many of them mutually exclusive to each other, not backed up by coherence, reason, or decency, but essentially assertion-spamming.
Why would the people saying “tabloid” not simply take up reasoned discourse on a subject of their choosing?
If Topcat is posting at a low level, why is the non windsurfing version of Apsnaz posting at an even lower level – why so obstreperously, strenuously, prolifically avoid easily winning? Weird.
IF we assume there is zionism, then most people would agree there’s a domestic wing and an international wing. (So I’m operating now, for this one post, within the mental bubble of “there is zionism” as opposed to this being my own take on things)
Domestic US wing deals with leftism, degeneracy, and general weakening, deculturation, coarsening, denaturing. (even kunstler has had one or more posts as an open letter to the us domestic jewish left saying hey, this isn’t such a great policy)
International wing deals with all things Israel and getting the West involved in espionage, sanctions, wars, etc that favor Israel.
domestic zionism = leftism/”liberalism”, international zionism = right/”conservative”
IF we start from an assumption there’s zionism, then perhaps SOMETHING happened somewhat recently either in their domestic US policy OR between their own domestic US and Israel wings.
—Somebody that isn’t zionist took over their US leftist wing? (or a significant chunk went rogue)
—They’re experiencing internal civil war between the two wings that no longer share the same identity/priorities? (the domestic wing Kind Of Forgot to care about Israel anymore?)
—They realized their policies were stupid? (hey man, I don’t think a lame, sick, retarded horse is going to be much use)
—They were going to switch to a new host, but ah fuck, we can’t so we have to fix this one
—They made a deal (help against US domestic left in exchange for help for Isreal) to get more stuff?
—No actually, nothing has changed, same ol same ol. Instead, a contingent within the US is running the ops you think Mossad is, stupid jb-hb“You can not align yourself with God by lieing.”
“The people hiding Anne Frank lied.”
“The people hiding Anne Frank were being obedient to God, therefore in total alignment. What are you, like 12yrs old or something?”
are you able to track conversations more than 1 exchange back? Or is that only within the ability of 12 year olds?
“You can not align yourself with God by lieing.”
The people hiding Anne Frank lied.
Massive, gargantuan amounts of lies about invading at Calais paralyzed the German response and made the Normandy invasion successful.
Would you tell the truth instead?
There’ll be a whole real (or fake, who cares) leftist cell to discover and unveil particulars on in connection with the shooter (or patsy, who cares)
This will open the door to revelation after revelation – oh shit, look at all these real cells that are WORSE.
I know they’re there because civilian investigators have been worming their way in with captured audio and video on Zoom, hidden bodycams, etc, for the past decade. It wasn’t just Veritas revealing the Bernie Bros want you in “Re-education Camps”
Sargon just wanted to play video games. They would not leave him alone.
Karlyn Borysenko just wanted to run teambuilding exercises for corporations, but watched all her work destroyed, watched every workplace made toxic by leftism – so now she is our foremost civilian spy on marxists. She only has like a billion hours of footage now, easy enough to pull up her channel and LOOK, see that what is happening is happening.
They (the NSA, FBI operatives if they aren’t completely retarded) really OUGHT to be able to pick and choose enough material to saturate everyone’s attention span, thus they have the option of choosing the best quality examples over sheer quantity. If we aren’t headed towards “revelations” of this sort within a month or two, they’re morons.
It’s quite possible (and expedient) to choose a patsy who really IS part of a REAL marxist cell with all kinds of cool REAL revolutionary stuff in discord, sms, etc. How has the leftist opsec really BEEN these past 10 years? Anything interesting sitting in an infinitely searchable giant bagillion petabyte storage facility in Utah? Once the gloves come off, we’re playing Pick My Favorite Thing.
But that would be WRONG sir.
Exactly. We would never, never, never ever, never EVER do wrong things. It would be WRONG to do those wrong things. But it isn’t wrong when Israel gathers the data and does the op. Criss-cross. One weird trick. How to get 5 Eyes working for YOU…
Leftist: “Oh NO, Charlie Kirk might be a false flag”
After 100,000 leftist false flags across every spectrum of society from miniscule to massive, this sounds like a YOU problem, not a me problem or an us problem. If Kirk is sipping a margarita on a beach right now, all the better. Unless you plan to apologize and return to civil society? No? Yeah, no.
leftist: “but oh no, it might have been ISRAEL”
After you meatsuited the palestine issue with every message being “the answer is moar socialism and tear down the structures and LGBTQ+ for Palestine,” this sounds like a YOU problem, not a me or an us problem. Want to sincerely work the actual problem instead of cynically parasitizing it? Want to give it up as your thing altogether so real people can do something useful? No? Yeah, no.
This is what exhausting what you thought was an infinite resource of gullibility and stupidity but was actually a near infinite resource of patience and civility looks like.
OH but you think you will just double triple quadruple down on “hold them to their own rules” alinsky?
No, this is what holding you to YOUR rules looks like.
Every time you do a big protest against ICE, there’ll be a scary looking masked dude waving a mexican flag in front of a burning police car. How do these unfortunate things keep happening to you? They will continue to happen now. Its’ going to be 10 years of you perpetually losing like this – by your own rules and standards – before we reach a state of equity. You love equity.
“I have a big beautiful announcement for the American People. We reviewed the DOGE research and found that if we freeze all NGO funds, we can keep the government going for another 6 months at least. Congress has graciously voted a state of emergency – a government shutdown is surely an emergency”
“We’re looking at pulling those frozen NGO funds to go towards keeping your Federal Government going even longer, maybe a year, who knows, maybe, Russia’s frozen funds gave me the idea, great idea. But in this state of looming government shutdown, we’re going to look at how we can move some money around a bit and make this thing work for the american people, and I’ve got the best minds – really great people, the best – helping with this right now, right now. We’ll have more money to keep your government going for you soon, very soon.”
So one late night show host gets “cancelled” while remaining on the air.
Then a 2nd one says something more extreme and is cancelled immediately.
Followed by 1st late night show host saying he thinks 2nd one did the right thing.
Hordes of obsequious leftists make out that the alive guy lying about an assassination was worse, like 10x, 100x, no 1000000x assassinated compared to the dead guy.
Jordan cuts in, does a sneaky pass to Pippin, leaps, Pippin passes back for the allleeeeooop. GOOOOOOOOOOOAL.
(Hey, I’m just voicing an opinion ABOUT another guy. Hey, we’re just interviewing a guy with extreme views for an hour – were INFORMING you. Do you hate journalism or something? etc)
Does the giant waterfall of money to NGO’s get frozen in the case of a government shutdown?
Or does a judge anywhere decide half the US budget must continue to flow to unelected assholes who hate you – you can’t cut off NGO funds wholesale. That would be like, a thing happening with that word in it when I talk about it.
Checking with experts like Ngo or Borysenko, the Left is not reconsidering let alone changing. If anything, the moment of the assassination was another “fire all our shit” moment.
Why are they acting like they have learned nothing or like they cannot read the room? (that isn’t what is happening)
You can even kind of get a sense of the blob’s shape from watching the homogeneous melange of tactics being applied top, bottom, and everything in between. So you get almost the same view of the dynamics watching Kimmel as you do watching Borysenko at the local communist cell on hidden camera.
Why did Kimmel run knowingly straight into a buzzsaw? Everyone is talking about why the corporation would have motivation to fire him. Who cares, why did he and his writers DO it?
This is part of occupying the space.
The plan, long before the assassination, understood by leftists — the plan is eventually, you do assassinations and a large segment of the public OPENLY, not tacitly, not half-heartedly, not surreptitiously, OPENLY approves and it is the “in” thing, the good thing. Advancing inevitable cOnDiTiOnS, amirite?
The assassination is of almost no relative value in and of itself. Its value is in NORMALIZATION. This is occupation (colonization, monopolization) of The Commons, the Public Space, the Overton Window, etc.
So with 99% of the assassination event being post-shot normalization (as far as the left is concerned), we are watching the assassination as a leftist power move STILL UNDERWAY RIGHT NOW.
People deciding political assassination is mainstream a-ok will be splitting off into a non-discussion-capable reality. Not “don’t WANT to discuss” but truly GONE never coming back gone.
On the other hand, people deciding political assassination and approval of, celebration of, normalization of is beyond the pale are quite likely gone in the other direction. They are no longer coming along on the boiling frog escalation-normalization boxcar ride. And they had to wake up, make a conscious decision.
So what clumps are sticking to what other clumps with what adhesive as Left and Right pull away from each other? This is the moment the Left can achieve unstoppable massive liftoff if only normalization can occur. Failing that, firewalling off their population-gains thus far strengthens them. But does the seam where people pull away lie across their line of cultural capture? Somewhere behind their lines?
Kimmel is a good sacrifice, as he’s “mainstream” while also at the end of his usefulness. Like a nuclear carrier at the end of its service life. But it cuts both ways – lots of “normie” leftist mouthpieces running themselves into a buzzsaw could normalize “yay assassinations,” but it could normalize it as bad, maybe even icky if there’s enough shaming along with it.
But then if they cannot normalize, institutionally, people cheering political assassination, they can at least normalize people being willing to lose their jobs, homes, whatever, for “free speech” (normalization of making a staaaaand for assassination of free speakers) So they can still win the normalization ratcheting-up war that way.
A single drug will not rid people of the parasite. It will take a cocktail, a finely balanced one. They have to taste Hate Speech and Cancel Culture, but in a way that leads them back to civil society, not alienate them – the Right versions of these things have to be observably virtuous – not just to remain stainless, but to show by contrast the super-vile, despicable NON-righteous use of Hate Speech and Cancel Culture by the Left.
And of course they need to be suitably disrupted, not happily funded, doxxing, swatting, assassinating, agitating, rioting, etc while all this is going on. They need to be asymmetrically harried.
Much like Russia responding to provocation, the Right needs to keep doing things OUR way, not be tricked into imitating the Left, which is exactly what they want strategically, tactically, psychologically – the whole movement is, in a sense, projection, after all. I watched an interview of a Cluster-B Narc on youtube in which the Narc said he would rather be stuck in the worst Turkish jail forever than give up his defense mechanisms. (projection being one of them)
And hey leftie, if Israel did this as a false flag, considering how you took up Gaza as YOUR meatsuit, sounds like “but-but-but Israel might being an underhanded violent unscrupulous Big Meanie, Something Must Be Done” is a YOU problem, not an US problem. I just wish there was a way you could both lose.
No, Hate Speech is a particular weapon wielded by particular people invented for and used for a particular purpose.
It is too late for equivocation, etc. I am not falling for “you are me” or “that would make you Woke Right”
I am uninterested in, unimpressed by, and unswayed by reimaginings of how 2+2 COULD equal 5 or how a woman COULD be someone without a womb or hate speech COULD be another thing or anything. Not at all.
You cannot be civil or unarmed FOR your enemy.
Being good is not synonymous with being helpless or unarmed.
You cannot make weapons go unused by giving them as a monopoly to someone who is happy to continually use them.
You cannot make the right and good prevail by continually shrinking away from any notion that what you regard as right is right, because that would be icky. Total unquestionable moral certitude is only acceptable in enemies of what you think is right… will never ever lead to what is right.
It is just now too late for whataboutism, projection, equivocation. If they don’t like weapons, they can LAY THEM DOWN AND REJOIN CIVIL SOCIETY.
It is in the nature of a self defense engagement that it is the same engagement until the threat is ended.
For example, if you were attacked by 5 people and you shot 1 legally in self defense, you would not be obligated to pause and ask the 4 others if there is still an engagement or if they would perhaps like some milk and cookies.
Have the Left put down ANY of their weapons?
Just grab ANY example — Are there still people convinced that Leftists with tiki torches are “far-right” nazi KKK Trump brain-sharers? STILL?
And are there people “convinced” who maybe kinda know it’s absurd AND insist it is true still? And surprise, surprise, they haven’t stopped, not on this one weapon, nor any other, and EACH ONE would be like house to house fighting in stalingrad to roll back?
What does holding this as unquestionable truth DO to someone?
I had a brief talk with my wife about “good people on both sides,” and blue-squarish normie that she is, she told me “he thought nazi-kkk’s were good people.” So I said okay, let’s watch it together, it’ll be fun and easy, take 30 seconds.
Boy was she emotional about NOT checking. But we damn well checked -you don’t get to “educate” me from the mountaintop and demand no reply and my reply in video takes less time than you lectured me – so we watched Trump disavow nazi and kkk, then make his statement, then CLARIFY his statement as not glorify nazi kkk, bookending it with disavowing them again.
I thought the argument was over!
no, she asserted he had JUST SAID he supported nazis and kkk. Fine, equal time and I will use my reply time for the video (we’re going to make this a conversation har har) – this time, pause it when you get to the pro nazi kkk part I will pause it for the anti nazi kkk part to verify if you perceived it and we can rewind/play/rewind/play as long as it takes for you to consciously acknowledge what just happened a half second ago.
She is part of the general populace that has voted Democrat in the past and would, fairly quickly, say they do not want political violence, I think. She resisted watching and then could not even see or hear video more pertinent to the discussion than absolutely anything else. But still felt confident and motivated to assert 1000000% condemnation – ultimate evil. And being cajoled to watch 30 seconds of video after proclaiming infinite ultimate evil, how weird, how absurd to have a LOOK. Why are YOUR requirements so extreme you weirdo!
EACH of these weapons – just as examples, tiki torches and good people on both sides – and there are HUNDREDS or even THOUSANDS of them deployed – are continuing to detonate in our society without pause. There are at least a thousand warheads out there of the We-Decided-Tree-Roots-Are-Murdered-Children-You-Christian-Genocider-Colonizers type. White Doctors Are Murdering Black Babies. Trans Are Being Genocided. People Are Dying!
What would laying down their weapons LOOK like? CONTINUAL wall to wall messaging, without a sneer, a secret wink, sarcasm, etc, from the same sources, for the same amount of time, frequency, and fervency, debunking each and every one of these frauds. So a DECADE of totally anti leftist wall to wall messaging would barely make it EQUAL. (but you guys like equity)
I woke up to NPR every morning for decades. Had to change my clock radio because the Russia shit was so effusive, over the top, continual, and brain-dead. Laying down their weapons will consist of NPR doing wall to wall manic coverage of russiagate being bullshit for 4 years straight. Anything else is a continuation of the SAME ENGAGEMENT they started.
If they will not do it, then someone will have to do it FOR them. If they just have such bad PTSD that someone just needs to pluck the weapon from their nerveless fingers while they shake and we put an army blanket around their shoulders…. maybe, maybe. That would be fantastic. Fantastically unlikely, but I’ll take it.
It DOES NOT MATTER anymore if the Charlie Kirk assassination was not the official narrative. Try to grasp this now.
BOTH SIDES of the US Civil War used rifled muskets firing miniballs. This did not make them ideologically the same. One side was fighting for State’s Rights. Specifically property rights. Specifically the right to own humans as property – they spelled this out in their declarations of independence. The other side was fighting to NOT have a Slave State spread westward and southward, not when they had already enslaved the entire North to their own Slave system and cheered.
OF COURSE the left will scream that “you are the same” when you finally pick up the same kind of weapon. They want you unarmed. Almost in the same breath, in response to the Charlie Kirk assassination, the millisecond before his body hit the ground, they were demanding that normal people disarm themselves of this ideological weapon and LITERALLY physically disarm. Not a coincidence.
We are decoupled from your entire memeplex and do not care about your feminine sabotage tactics – self defense is icky, exercising power is icky (if it is you doing it) Theoden has stood up and walked into the sunlight, Grima. It is just now too late for a whole host of things on the tip of your tongue. If you don’t like weapons, drop them all and let us melt them down.
They KNOW that with their rhetoric, they will get:
–a certain % of quasi-passive supporters who will vote for them
–a certain % of activists who will riot for them
–a certain % of people who will seek power in institutions and use the power for ideology
–a certain % of people who will act violentlyStochastic Terrorism and Anarchic Tyranny are “random” on a purely individual basis, but a CERTAINTY as a statistical percentage. You may not choose for one particular guy to do one particular thing to some particular victim, but you sure do know these things are being MADE TO HAPPEN.
But then, once you HAVE the stochastic terrorism and anarchotyranny, you can, just like Mao advised you, be like a fish in water. Definitely say that EVERY instance wasn’t part of a pattern, but if it was a pattern then it was a lone wolf, and that the lone wolf did it was a good thing.
And of course, you can SAY the lone wolf thing because hey, it’s just an opinion. Or hey, we’re “reporting” on it (totally biased and with a wink…) or we only INTERVIEWED someone to totally promote it – hey, don’t you want to report and interview people? Here’s just a person that thinks a thing….
And each level of radicalism can be firewalled off against the other with deniability. The people funding and voting for colleges being indoctrination camps aren’t violent, they just maintain all the macninery that makes the most radical or violent leftist stuff ultimately happen.
Like, if you’re living in Poland and Germany invades you, does your Nazi-sympathizing Polish neighbor get to say to you “smirk-smirk. not AAAaaaaalll Germans are invading Poland. har har har”
And the fighting speartip of an army is surprisingly small. 50,000 people doing all the shit that supports 10,000 people fighting. Depending on the army, less. Think of the TOTAL number of people in the US army in WW2 vs the total # actually expected to engage in combat- minuscule by comparison.
So you complain about the German ARMY invading and your neighbor smirks again “har har. Not AAAALLLLL German soldiers invade Poland. Ackshully, a minority, ackshully a miniscule minority, even of the Germans in Poland are engaging in violence.”
The “fish in water” concept REALLY comes in when you have established ACCEPTANCE of stochastic terrorism and anarchotyranny as known ongoing states of being. This is when you ADD your own targeted, planned ops. They can hide inside of the statistical noise.
As a thought experiment, think of the Democrats (Leftists, but I repeat myself) as a nation that seceded in 2015. Have they stopped flying bombers, sending out raids, have they shut down wartime production or gone back to a peacetime economy? Have they taken down a single war propaganda poster? Have they apologized and sued for peace. Have they acknowledged unironically, sincerely that the American way and civil society are best, the way we will work things out?
