woah holy shit a bio?
The founders debated long after the constitution was ratified too.
Outlawing parties would be in direct violation of their first amendment. Humans are social by nature* - coalitions, parties, groups will form just because we exist.
*Yes I’m counting my AuADHD ass because even though I hate socializing with a passion I want to be able to.
It’s almost like we have this whole written history to learn from and the people unable or uninterested in learning keep doing the same shit because they didn’t know it was tried before.
It’s like their thing.
It’s actually kind of mind boggling. Lenin knew this was a thing and took all sorts of steps to correct it, but his mistake was demanding it to improve by force. “We’re making your lives better now, or else.”
I mean, shit, a big ass group of armed dudes on horses show up in my cold ass disconnected village and they say we need to do x, y, and z to improve our lives or else? Yeah that’s sus.
I’m worried these means of carving up the government are going to get the Democrats to capitulate. They will blame Democrats for everything that gets carved anyway, that was always the plan.
The regime needed to be starved of funds earlier this year. Second best time is now. If the supreme court allows the executive to allocate tarrifs as they want, then the branch still gets some means of funding - probably military and ICE.
There is a flaw with their plan. Yes, we will all suffer greatly, but ever increasing tarrifs on imported goods will result in a decrease on imported goods regardless if they are made in America or not. This means that while they might have a good source of funds secured temporarily, the revenue generated is still bound by math. n * ( price of good * tarrif - price of good) = total revenue. As n approaches 0, revenue approaches 0, regardless if tarrifs grow infinitely.
At some point, even the wealthiest Americans won’t be able to afford the imported good. If nothing is imported, no money is generated, and the executive has nothing to allocate.
They’re definitely aware of this. Hence why they are doing everything they can do to guarantee a 2026 midterm gives them complete control of the house and Senate. They need regular funds back before they can no longer pay ICE and military. That’s coming here very soon.
Soooooo
Now what
It’s also why we need to avoid violence and make the regime stumble into itself.
Which is why Chinese and Russia propaganda is attempting to stoke the fire (remember, they eliminated their opposition, so they don’t have the same experience inciting violence and they think they do).
They can’t let him get to prison, and if they do, they have to make sure his cellmate plays along, or they arrange rewards for the group that takes him down.
If anyone in wherever he gets housed picks up what he did, he could end up leading the greatest prison revolt of all time.
Charasmatic intellectuals with an inherent distaste for authority are the most dangerous people for authoritarians.
Correct I should specify he wasn’t the in-groyp (haha get it) to Fuentes.
No, it’s somewhat more disturbing.
Kirk was outside of the shooter’s in group. In Fascism those in the out group need to shut up and get out of the way. It doesn’t matter to the shooter that Kirk was an ultraconservative bigoted lunatic, he wasn’t conservative enough. Since he was still talking and not getting out of the way, the Fascist believes he has an obligation to fix that problem.
And what’s stranger, is that there is no doubt in my mind that Kirk thought the same thing about Fuenes. But they would both agree that if I had any public speaking ability (or any speaking ability for that matter) I would definitely be more important to sanitize first.
Fascists are elementary school boys left without supervision. That’s all they really are.
One can only hope. First time I heard the white replacement theory I said “thank God, we sure as shit ruined it for everyone else.”
They believe the left consists of no one but minorities, lgbtq, and women.
I’m not kidding at all. I can walk right up to these conversations people will have and no one will blink an eye.
But they believe it so much that they will kill other white men who don’t conform to the group. That’s why Kirk was killed. He was a man that existed outside the in-group and needed to be cleaned up.
My inability to tan is no longer a laughing joke.
I’m privileged to be a wasp, but more specifically, I literally cannot tan. I’m not albino. I’m just pale. now have a privilege that not even everyone in my family has.
My dad is a wasp, but tans really easy. In Missouri and Indiana, he’s been profiled already like this. Over a decade ago too. Black hair, tan skin. That’s it. That’s all that does it.
There’s a very disturbing plan here. It makes the Nazi racial policies seem tame.
I got to keep my retirement. But if I want a house I’m going to have to dip into it. If the goddamn bubble would pop it wouldn’t be a problem, but here we are.
Millennial here- I’m bout to not have retirement savings.
Spain? Read the room.
Why stop at Gaza right? Israel has a lot of neighbors, might as well walk right into Iran or Lebanon and just start murdering people too!
The tell tale sign of how awful the zionists are is that they aren’t picking a fight with Iran. Syria fell. Syria is starting to rebuild. Palestinians had barely any organized resistance. They only fight those who can’t fight back. Almost exactly like another genocidal maniac in the 1920s-1940s.
I never thought I’d see the items in a shopping cart double in price so quickly, but here we are
“Do you realize how much the wealthy are losing right now?”
Clearly, not nearly enough.
If he wanted to get caught, why would he say the evidence was planted?
Gestures broadly to all recorded history.
