So many good things in this post: We depend on the benevolence of GOP cucks to do anything; the midget, whose corpse I want to see left to rotten hanging on a tree on main square; trump's decision to *steal our fucking money* to fund these injections... All that has one cause: Centralized democracy.
So the best is the conclusion: If you don't want to live forever in this hell, where imbeciles vote to use the police on you and you have no way to defend yourself... then you must abandon this idiotic idea of centralized democracy: "Decouple our fortunes from the corporate state with a parallel society and economy ." To which I add: The absolute only real solution is to leave. It is like marrying a hoe. There is no point in arguing. Just fucking leave already. Decouple and then secede.
BTW, trump is a bastard to do what he did with the injections. But he was just playing the democratic game: In a democracy you do whatever the fuck the majority wants. If they want to kill the entire minority, this is what you are supposed to do.
Politicians are just arms. The majority (not the population, but exclusively the majority) is the brain that controls the arm(s). So he is uselss as all politicians because democracy is a pathology. Nothing good will ever come up from a democracy.
In theory, in a pure democracy, it's majority rule as you say. However, if you look more closely, there's a tiny minority of technocrats that manipulate public opinion and use that assumed moral authority as cover to enact murderous policies that benefit themselves. The reality is far darker than just majority rule.
Of course that someone will always manipulate the mob. This is a hard immutable fact. Mobs are stupid. The idea that "If people did not care about themselves first, communism would work" (BTW, it would not) and "if people just thought really hard about their votes, democracy would work" (would not, either) are the same type of nonsense. People do not have time nor interest to vote better because they gain nothing for being correct: A single vote will never change the life of the voter because it will never change the result of an election.
The problem is exactly to believe that there is any chance that this pathological democratic game will ever generate anything good. Then we misplace our focus on "let's help people think better!", "inform people", "start a campaign"... All useless bullshit that will never solve the problem.
So I disagree that reality is darker than mob rule. This problem is exactly mob rule. Someone had the brilliant idea to let these lunatics control all the guns. Worse, the same geniuses decided that the same crazy mob should control the guns everywhere! So now when these idiots feel like burning a city, arresting everyone, injecting shit on everyone, and etc. we have nowhere to escape. The same psychopath mob controls the guns there too...
The only answer is to get the guns back from these people and break the mob in very small pieces by decentralizing everything.
Decentralization is definitely the solution no matter what governing ideology dominates the broken up polities afterwards. Restore power to the local level as close to the individual as possible to maintain a functioning society and economy.
"Sen. Rand Paul – who hasn’t been aggressive enough – is the only Congressman who has dipped his toes in the water to challenge Fauci on his criminality."
Love this article, but disagree with your assessment of Rand Paul. Paul understands that without the support from his colleagues he will be written off as a kook. He watched his father marginalized. Rand kept his eye on the ball and confronted the lies. If the GOP gains a majority in the Senate you will see the gloves come off.
I'm frustrated that I see Trump as the best shot in the short-term for cleaning house but am, in all likelihood, going to have to pragmatically accept a leader that is never going to admit failure or responsibility for the shots.
I respect a lot of people who support Trump, and to some degree I can understand and empathize. However, I saw very little he did in office to put America first (his essential promise) or to make any earnest attempt to #draintheswamp. I was elated the day he defeated Hillary Clinton, evil incarnate, but have always perceived him as a professional wrestler emotional toddler.
DeSantis is an effective governor. He also does an excellent job pushing back on BS media assertions. He may end up being President someday, but I’m not ready to declare my fidelity to DeSantis just yet. I am concerned he would either sell out to team uniparty who can make or break his presidency, or he would try to clean up the corruption on his own but get knifed in the back by the same folks who betrayed Trump, and end up being ineffective.
Trump didn’t let the bastards win. He was cheated and denied what was rightfully his, but he refuses to concede. Until the grossly broken system is fixed, we will lose our right to choose. America is in the fight for our very survival. If we lose, I want to go down swinging, metaphorically speaking for any FIB agents reading this. We need to challenge tyranny and corruption in the courts and Trump has demonstrated a long, strong history of never quitting.
Trump was robbed. I give him the right of first refusal when it comes to my vote in 2024.
I can't get in board with this idea that Trump is some kind of principled grand strategist working the long game. He is a petulant adult child son of a multi millionaire who cares about one thing: getting the approval of an adoring audience that he never got from his daddy. Sad!
I didn’t say principled or strategic. I agreed with your previous assessment about his lack of emotional sophistication. I said he was the toughest guy who can get elected. I also think his childish behavior causes people to underestimate his cleverness. As for holding it against him for coming from a wealthy family, I won’t make that mistake. I live in an unusually wealthy small town in California. Some rich people have shitty kids, while others raise excellent people, just like happens in average families and poor families.
Bottomline, Trump is a proven fighter who so far has out played the most driven, corrupt people on the planet. He is my guy until someone else can demonstrate they can not only win, but deal with world class treachery.
I suppose we're never going to see eye to eye on this. I hate the people who hate Trump, but I won't ever bring myself to support a Jeffrey Epstein socialite who spends his time as a supposed leader getting even more bloated and playing golf in Miami with Jared Kushner. And never admitting his mistakes and correcting course because his fragile ego couldn't cope. Not my guy.
That's entirely possible. I'm positive before he goes he'll do everything he can to shore up the system he presided over and handpick loyal, easily controlled "leaders" to replace him. But definitely nothing will change if he's allowed to live out his life in peace and comfort. Examples must be made and catharsis had.
Freedom also relies on decency and morality. The Founding Fathers recognized the system they devised could only work if good men were given its limited power. My point is responsibility is a necessary ingredient in creating personal liberty. Freedom cannot exist without ownership. People who don’t own their life are by definition slaves.

1000% agreed.

I don't disagree with your summary of Trump, but he is the best man for now. We need the toughest guy who can win, and right now that is Trump.
Are you gun shy on DeSantis?

100% agree we will likely never see eye to eye on this, but to be clear, Trump isn’t “my guy”; he is the guy.
Nothing will change after Fauci is gone.
That's entirely possible. I'm positive before he goes he'll do everything he can to shore up the system he presided over and handpick loyal, easily controlled "leaders" to replace him. But definitely nothing will change if he's allowed to live out his life in peace and comfort. Examples must be made and catharsis had.
Freedom cannot exist without responsibility. We lose liberty when we don't hold ourselves and others accountable.
I don't know about freedom. But we definitely lose decency and moral authority when that happens.

My point is responsibility is a necessary ingredient in creating personal liberty. Freedom cannot exist without ownership. People who don’t own their life are by definition slaves.
