Fuck dude. I never imagined in highschool civics class that I'd be one day considering McCarthy a pussy for not going far enough. God the world has changed in 20 years.
If you've seen Yuri describing how marxist indoctrination innoculates people against truth, the McCarthy saga takes on a whole new meaning.
We've known for ~30 years that he was right. Western researchers got access to KGB archives after the fall of the Soviet Union in the early 90s. Those KGB files were corroborated by the Venona intercepts - captured and decrypted communications between soviet agents in the west and their handlers in Russia. And declassified domestic documents confirm both of those, and McCarthy had access to lots of then-classified information.
And to this day, his name is still a curse because most of the country has been poisoned with bullshit spread by exactly the people he was trying to expose. And the truth just bounces off.
Need to meme McCarthy into the ether... the man was a damn hero. If it wasn't for his efforts they may have already succeeded incompletely subverting the United States.
We do have professional athletes overtly displaying their disrespect for our country on national television and millions of people still watch so who knows. Maybe they have succeeded
Did you know that Deep Throat was an FBI agent who set up Nixon?
When I see the WaPo's "legendary reporter" in action, let's just say that it rings differently now. I suspect the FBI is working on setting up Trump again. When Schifty trusts Wray, and the FBI makes a show of taking the knee, you know they can't be up to any good...
Among the criminal groups that the FBI investigated in the early 1970s was the Weather Underground. Their case was dismissed by the court because it concluded that the FBI had conducted illegal activities, including unauthorized wiretaps, break-ins, and mail interceptions. The lead federal prosecutor on the case, William C. Ibershof, claims that Felt and Attorney General John Mitchell initiated these illegal activities that tainted the investigation.[29]
In the early 1970s Felt had supervised Operation COINTELPRO, initiated by Hoover in the 1950s.
In a phone call on January 30, 1981, Edwin Meese encouraged President Ronald Reagan to issue a pardon. After further encouragement from Felt's former colleagues, President Reagan pardoned Felt and Miller. The pardon was signed on March 26, but due to the assassination attempt on March 30, was not announced to the public until April 15, 1981.[76][77][78]
In his 2012 book Leak: Why Mark Felt Became Deep Throat, Max Holland argued that Felt leaked the information in an attempt to become head of the FBI. Holland said that Felt wanted to create the perception that Gray "could not control the FBI". This could result in Nixon's firing Gray, leaving Felt as the obvious choice to run the agency. Holland said this plan (if it was one) backfired as Nixon and his team found out that Felt was the leaker.[110]
They (groups in Hollywood) are still there, however now the are boldly and defiantly in your face... I intuit a nine month war to eliminate all of the Commies in America, kind of like a clean 9 month abortion, which they are all for....
McCarthy was right as rain - should have 'arrested' a few of them - and slowly arrested more and more.... let the 'momentum build' - let the crimes come out - every so many months....
That could have at least saved Hollywood for a few more generations.
Trump has a much more personal connection to the people than Nixon did. Nixon was very reserved and formal, while Trump is gregarious and talks like a working man. Hence Trump's supporters stayed with him when the media came for him, while Nixon's support faded. Well that and Trump didn't panic into making several really bad decisions like Nixon did.
While we despise social media for their censorship, our movement exists only because there's an alternative news source other than the mainstream media.
He did go after them though wtf he exposed all of them and it cost him his life. He did as much as he could. That “pussy” comment is pretty ignorant NGL Bc McCarthy was a Saint. Do you consider GEOTUS a pussy for not locking up all the deep state even though he’s done pretty much all he could? If not then stfu. Hope the Duram investigation goes though. Trump 2020. 4 more years!
So, it turns out that the Spanish Inquistion gets a bad rap too. It had some unpleasant parts to be sure, but it was certainly not the unrestrained reign of terror it is popularly assumed to be today.
Islamic wars of expansion had taken Spain and it took 500 years to push them back out. (Columbus's voyage in 1492 was financed by the crown in celebration of the completion of reconquesta.) Rather than put everyone to the sword, muslims and jews were offered the choice to convert or leave. Lots of them tried to do fake conversions where they'd publicly claim to be Christians, while remaining practicing jews or muslims at home.
The main thrust of the spanish inquisition was to root out these false conversions. In the end, the Spanish had better luck promoting swine as a national industry and pork as a national cuisine. It turns out that it is really hard to pass on a pig-fearing religion to your kids when they see you working with and eating pigs every day, even if you've convinced yourself that you are only doing it under duress.
Fucking A right man. My brother and I were never really political and now we don't understand the world we live in. 20 years ago we were watching Jackass and Bam Magera. Now we're under attack by communists. WTF happened?! The Inquisition was brutal, but something like that is what we need.
Yeah, wtf happened to all of the anti-authority skater crowd (used to be one)? They all turned into a bunch of faggots. Now all we have is antifa losers. Conservatism is the new counter culture.
Fucking Obama. He signaled to everyone that the government was evil for racial and trans bullshit issues. Antifa is basically rioting for no fucking reason as well. They are at this point 1-800-Dial-A-Riot.
That bullshit carried over to the Trump years. I don't fucking trust younger skaters. When they want to be rebellious and shit. I look at them like they swallowed the blue pill.
For the most part I know I can trust most motor heads. Some kid wants to rip with his dirtbike, I know he's going to be based. Shit has fucking changed and it's not for the fucking better.
It's not even liberal bullshit anymore. It's communist bullshit. All of the tree huggers from days past are full blown commies now. The traditional "liberals" appear to be full on commies now. Fuck me.
Tru dat on the dirt bike kids. The dirt bike/skater kids tended to overlap in my area (WV) so I'd definitely revise my statement to make sure that box is checked too.
Dude, my brother and I drove out to a town SW of Jackson Hole, WY last weekend. All of our more liberal "skater" friends moved there from Mound, MN. The guys that were raised by liberal parents are now as or more conservative than my brother and I. We all had dirt bikes, we all had sleds. Those skaters got a double dose of reality though.
For the millenials that grew up in the suburbs with boomer parents. A shit ton of us turned ultra conservative. More so than our own parents. I can't speak for all millenials as the ones raised in cities are basically scum. It's a start though.
It didn't though. It's just the big cities that want the bizarre weird shit. Small town America is basically the same it's always been. The only major change is queers can get "married".
We're living through the death of an empire. Unless Trump can change the tide, America is going to break up.
Oh gosh. The American experiment wouldn't break up along ideological lines. Our ideologies tell us that pedophilia is wrong. Basically, Christians want to kill pedophiles.
If America splits, it's going to become multiple ethnostates. This would keep with other empires breaking up over the last several thousand years. Think of Eastern Europe. That's what the US would become with a break up.
For everyone involved, it's best for everyone if we stay together and focus on 1 Christian ideology. Christianity tells us to be all be 1 people. It works under a large government power. However, during a split up, all the different races would go after each other to solve centuries old feuds.
If we cannot reassert a single dominant culture, we will break up. There has never been a multicultural state for long. Successful multiracial states have been exceedingly rare in history, but not entirely nonexistant. America prior to approximately 1980 (lagged from the 1965 immigration treason) probably had more success than any of the others in that department.
Sayet is always worth an upvote. His book is excellent - highly recommended reading for everyone here. Just ignore the parts where he promises a follow-on book later. Last I checked, someday never came.
You shouldn't be allowed to vote if you've never paid taxes. Uni students who don't have a part-time job because their parents are paying for everything do not have the necessary experience dealing with taxes and having responsibility of paying for their own food and rent.
Im a youngun paying my way through school. Young people can be conservative too! But they make a fair point that most people around our age are dumbasses
I’ll be the first to tell you that im a dumbass. But I’m a dumbass who can see the way the world works. I’m one of those rare hardcore blackpilled carefree rednecks.
But if you're voting DJT, we won't call you a dumbass around here! I just fear how many 18-29 y.o. might vote for Biden. The thought gives me the creeps
Well, there are some based females in their 20's. I won't hazard a guess as to how many nor the ratio to men. I assume any with crazy hair color are commulibs.
You're thinking of people you know. I'm saying in general. It is a FACT that young men are stupid. When I was a young man, I was stupid. The majority of all men were stupid when they were young men. It's through experience of the years that we become wise.
When I was 18 I was pretty much a commie, BUT: in the sense of a strong government that regulates the economy for the benefits of the people.
This at least doesn't have bad intentions.
But now we have white 18 years old support a black supremacist movement and white genocide. How the hell can someone support a party that hates you because of your race?
For me it’s not that I’m stupid. It’s that I don’t wanna to be smart. People put responsibilities on smart people, people expect more from smart people. I would rather everyone think I’m stupid. So I make stupid decisions that actually make me stupider. It’s strange.
Wrap up your dick and go easy on the pills and powder. That's the best advice i can give the younger generation. Probably try to stay out of trouble with the police too if you can but that has a lot to do with luck in my experience
You're still stupid. You're pretending that individuals aren't factual
Individuals do, in fact, exist. If you wanted your statement to resemble reality you would have to add qualifiers; trends or percentages would be useful to you as modifiers. Failure to include them is just a stupid mistake. Without them your claim is wrong, and indefensible
lol. WTF are you going on about? Ask any old man if he thinks young men are stupid. Yes. Yes they fucking are. lol. Why are you even arguing with me on this?
Why are young men stupid? Because it's more balls then brains at age 18. LOL
You're absolutely right. One thing I've noticed is that a lot of older pedes in their 40s or older don't seem to have quite a grasp on how bad things have gotten. Not saying they're totally ignorant or out of touch of course, they know things are bad. But there is still this perception that there are these fabled pockets of highly conservative, traditional, religious, etc ladies in small towns or little southern private colleges, or at churches in Oklahoma and such. These older pedes knew that big state colleges or cities were cesspools of leftism in the late 90s or early 00s but there were pockets of traditional America that hadn't been infected yet and you could still find a lot of great conservative traditional women if you knew where to look. They don't know that this has changed in the past 20 years, even more so in the past 4 or 5. Even those little pockets in rural Oklahoma or Iowa are almost entirely gone now. It really has gotten that bad. If you got married in 2003 or something, you wouldn't have a reason to know this, but those of you thinking there is still some mythical land of traditional conservative women out there just waiting to be tapped by conservative men who know where to look, unfortunately the Leftist mindvirus has infected even those places.
I see this argument, even for myself. I became libertarian/conservative pretty early, voted trump in 2016 at 18. Yet I think there's a good argument to add more requirements for voting. Age being the worse and employment/taxes being better. I was working at 15 though so that also makes a huge difference. Probably some deep psychological reason for the conservative liberal split.
Fck that. Property taxes should be abolished in this country. What do you really own, if the government can charge you rent indefinitely, and seize your "property" if you don't pay?
Ok that's an interesting point too. Property tax is Constitutional, income tax is not, except for time of war. Some States make it almost impossible to lose your property for failure to pay property tax. Others seize it quickly, or at least put it up for auction.
Property tax is Constitutional, income tax is not, except for time of war.
Eh? Income tax is now Constitutional due to a constitutional amendment. The 16th to be precise. It is abhorrent to a free society, but our "greatest Generation" passed it.
Property tax, on the other hand, is a state thing, particularly because the US Constitution doesn't forbid the states from imposing it.
I dream of a world where in order to vote you must meet one of these criteria:
You have or had a child. (Disqualified if you relinquished custody, or they were taken away. Must be biological child or adopted no later than 2 years old).
You own real estate in this country (Must be ready for business or residential use, not just an empty square foot of dirt)
You own a business (With a total revenue that exceeds X% of your annual personal income, to prevent people from just making dummy corporations for this purpose. 20% stake minimum)
Meeting just one of these ought to be stupid easy for any normal productive person. They just insure that you have some skin in the game for the future health of society. You can still be a childless renting wage-slave if you want, but you don't get to be treated like a full citizen.
Well, obviously property taxes have to go as well, because they're wildly unconstitutional and anathema to the very spirit of the United States as founded. That way, individuals at the margin cannot be hounded from their owned property as you say.
Requirement one is ridiculous, what would possess you to include that? It's self-evident that any dumb bitch can and will get knocked up by any loser who caught her eye at the club. No-way, José.
With so many layers of economic value being created in our modern service and information economy, the base notion of value-creation through land ownership can be argued as largely obsolete. On the other hand, the notion of investment in the future of the country as a function of geographical permanence is not obsolete, so you could go either way.
But regardless of where one stands on land-ownership as a requirement, I'm with you entirely that net positive financial contribution should be a 100% requirement. The phrase "two wolves and a sheep voting on dinner" comes to mind.
I would agree to that, but with the caveat that if you have enlisted (not officers, OCS candidates, etc) in the military, you can vote once you've actually sworn the oath. You would lose this if you receive a premature discharge other than Honorable, though you get put back into the "can vote if otherwise eligible and once you've paid taxes" pot.
Only net-positive taxpayers should ever be allowed to vote.
The government should keep a tally of every service ever used by every person and its value. And you only get to vote if you've paid into the system more than you took out.
That might have been true long ago when Churchill was alive. But in modern days, with all information on your phone or computer, any man over 20 who is a liberal is just a retard.
The woman's world is inherently a relative one. It's not who is what, or even has what, but rather who has more, who is more, more powerful, more influential. Women have been swayed more easily than men by a century of leftist propaganda, brainwashing, and now outright gaslighting. As a result, femininity is on the verge of total destruction as younger and younger women are absorbed into the inherently-political drug/club/sex/tattoo subculture miasma.
Objectively, this transition is not just Another Cultural Phase that someone with leftist sympathies (no matter how mild) can just hand-wave away with the usual, oh, everyone says kids are wild compared to their youth, as we see more and more young women permanently destroy their bodies and minds in pursuit of relative status positions of the new degenerate culture Hollywood, ad agencies, record labels, social media and Valley firms, fashion titans, and others have conspired to create.
But the aforementioned cultural miasma, it's like a wildfire now. It will consume even those cultures that set it upon the world, as well as those that are happy to see it spread and weaken their enemies (i.e. China), until resisted by some immutable counter-cultural force. Our conservatism has the potential to be that force; if the values we represent are destroyed, however, I don't think any culture in the world, anytime soon, will be able to resist the intellectual virus that Marxist post-modernism represents. I suspect then that even China in short order would begin to suffer a second-order version of "Yuri's Cultural Malady".
To be fair, when someone doesn't know something most people say to Google it.
What kind of results does Google give someone who searches something? Biased ones that lean hard toward radical leftism.
Even on DuckDuckgo, when I searched a query relating to Net Neutrality for a paper i had to write the other night, I had to scroll through 4 or so pages of dogshit from MSM before I got a result that was against net neutrality (regulations).
Exactly. I have friends and coworkers who think they’re super knowledgeable about things because they “do their research”. But they’re not even aware that the sources that they’re basing their opinions on are biased and flawed.
You also have all the disinformation on your phone or computer. It takes wisdom to cut through al the bullshit, and wisdom typically comes with age and experience.
The left also sells simplistic answers that appeal to young people who only want to skim the surface of politics.
Like the whole Republicans = greedy businessmen trope. It’s a total cartoon explanation, and not even consistent with today’s corporate boardrooms, but there is just enough truth to it to a young person’s naive mind that they may end up buying into that filter for decades.
The pursuit of truth is thousands of years old, ironically; I have no doubts at all that most prominent ancient thinkers, once they recovered from the shock and novelty of information-age post-modernity, would instantly appreciate the intellectual challenge of mass, instantly-available information, but curated by elites looking specifically to shape discourse--and their prescription would be the very same skepticism and principles of early epistemology they were teaching in the ancient world. With the right approach, even the young can attain this wisdom.
It's shameful how so little education now is centered on teaching children HOW to critically approach and parse the overwhelming body of accumulated human knowledge, but rather, simply memorizing a pointless subset of a subset of it.
Most of the antifa-types are poor as shit, hence why they want free shit from the government. Of course their are plenty of rich libs who virtue signal so they don't have to actually be good people, which requires work
No kidding. Once the Baby Boomers pass away who is going to replace them? There aren't enough young people in the blue collar trades or small businesses to keep up, especially not young based people. The boomer generation is so large that it's impossible for just millenials to replace them.
This means that Zoomers needs to put on their big boy pants and we all need to have more kids.
GenX is still the forgotten generation apparently. Half of us are based AF, the other half went full fucking retard and turned into the worst boomer or millennial stereotypes you can imagine.
The economists running the government say that the economy only grows alongside population growth. Of course, if we don't meet our replacement rate of 2.1, they say we need to immigrate.
There are other factors besides the economy, but that's the primary argument in favor of mass immigration
Funny I'm 25 and my first vote was for Trump for President and rand paul for Senate. Guess no one needed my vote
See, this is one of the problems with modern discourse. Someone says, "People under 30 to vote irresponsibly" to which some under-30 person replies "I don't! Therefore what you say isn't true!"
I think if statistics and logic were taught in school, instead of fisting and gender-counting, we would never see this type of argument form anyone other than paid Chinese disinformation specialists.
A core concept that many people these days cannot comprehend is that YOU ARE NOT THE WORLD. YOU ARE JUST SOME FLAILING MTHRFCKR.
Never argued statistics. Look at my reply, read it well. I only stated my age, who I voted for, and a joke that my vote wasn't needed. I never made a mention that it was the "norm" or that the person posting was wrong in any way. I made a joke. You made a rant and threw a shitfit. You're the reason why some select people haven't joined our side yet. Have a great night. I'll be strolling into the my polling booth on election day and proudly voting for President Trump. Opinions be Damned!
Yes, that was the whole point, buddy. Young people under 30 voting irresponsibly and you being under 30 and not voting irresponsibly can BOTH BE TRUE. My point was that you should recognize that you are a glorious statistical anomaly and not take it personally when someone is saying that the rest of your age bracket is retarded.
that about sums it up for me. i could have cared less about politics for most of my life until the world started going to shit and everything went all faggy and there are trannys everywhere and pedo movies on netflix .sometime around 2015 i started to go wtf is going on around here?
Anthropology and archaeology agree that it's more like 80,000 years; more than that and you're talking about a genetic legacy (and associated mental capacities) that are simply too different to be compared directly even to pre-pre-classical eras.
The Toba eruption 75K years ago almost made us extinct. I often wonder about the heathen or enlightened civilizations that existed before and after that event. Crazy fornication parties in caves with roaring fires, sacrifices, wacky religions with now lost spiritual awarenesses, long-gone eroded architectural sites, etc.
Indeed, I imagine there are some truly wild happenings totally lost to time.
We don't even know what happened to the Bronze Age civilizations three thousand years ago ("sea peoples", some earthquakes, and maybe a drought" is a remarkably vague understanding of the collapse of multiple major nations in an entire geographical region), let alone ten thousand years, or thirty thousand years. Yet we know that biologically, a human child from fifty-thousand years ago could be raised today and fit in perfectly, never knowing they actually popped out of a time portal (or, you know, however they got here), so it stands to reason that the events would be remarkably comprehensible to us, with individuals motivated by the same physical, biological, and psychological realities and constraints that we deal with today.
Maybe someday we'll figure out how to extract information from black-holes (or some other high-concept sci-fi rigmarole) and can see it all go down...
You sound like me. I feel like everyone here have shifted more right because of how awful the left is. To be fair, they are literally burning people alive, beating the elderly, let four 20 yos who gassed some cops (yes, chlorine. That chlorine) off with a slap on the wrist, have our entire country hostage over the flu, arresting people just trying to run a business or fucking paddle alone in the ocean, execute 5 year olds, sexualize 10 year olds, and the list goes on.... And not enough has been done.
Trump supporters getting shot in cold blood while a hero kid sits in a jail cell for defending himself from a rabid mob.
Also Cuomo pumping the kung flu into nursing homes and killing thousands.
I had to bite my tongue in front of a client today after I already let the cat out of the bag about Michigan businesses: governors have absolutely no right to shut down private business on a massive scale. What an egregious abuse of power, under any guise.
Thank God for this place, aside from based fam and friends, having a community of like minded people that doesn’t resemble the bleak current events out there has been pretty amazing.
Journalism after WW2 adopted left wing bias because those jobs were centered in major metropolitan areas. Furthermore in the 60s-70s these jobs started requiring a college background. Democrats even as far back as the 1800s dominated the university system but this became worse in the 20th century since academics do not have to worry about market forces.
That's why mainstream media had a left wing bias even against Ford & Reagan. The increasing education bubble slowly made the bias worse...
But what really turned so many leftists insane was Social Media. The social media algorithms rewarded stories that elicit anger from as many groups as possible. All of a sudden twisting the facts about a white cop killing a black suspect drew in a lot of money so more of these stories came out. By the end of Obama's second term these stories could net $10-25k each.
I'm gonna be real, I voted for Trump simply for the lulz. I didn't expect to do much, but his performance in office has greatly exceeded my expectations. I'm gonna gladly vote for him again.
I'll be honest, I believed full heartedly in a communist system from high school through college. Obama was the greatest, Obamacare was a great step forward, Republicans were fools (though that part is still partly true-looking at you, Mittens). Then I hit the real world, paid taxes, Trump started running, he said build a wall and I thought...huh...that makes sense. I never believed in the social justice stuff, either, so it was all the easier for me to come over to MAGA. Now I see how I was a dumb kid, and Trump is the president for the real world, not commie fantasy land, and commies themselves can rot.
That's OK, though I was a Democrat in college in the late 80s, I switched and voted for Ross Perot in 1992, Bob Dole in 1996, then George W. Bush twice, then McCain, then Romney. And then Trump of course.
While I always chose what I thought was the better candidate given the circumstances, the only decision I know was right was the most recent one.
I honestly thought there was no point & we were fucked in a rigged system, pre 2016. I am still doom & gloom but I'm gonna fight tooth n nail for Trump and MAGA.
It's definitely rigged. They just underestimated Trump and how many Americans were ready to just vote for an outsider. They assumed a +4 in the aggregate and some voter fraud in Florida and Ohio was enough.
There's international and national poll watchers. Voting machines and tabulation also change state by state. That's why they're pushing for mail in voting. In 2018 the Democrats in the government declared an election emergency and allowed late ballots to come in. Test run.
Question for any of my fellow pedes here! I clearly missed the boat on the helicopter meme/joke, and while I ‘get’ it, and I laugh, where did it originate? Like countless have said, miss a day or two here at any point, and you end up sometimes feeling as confused as Biden!
Pinochet was a free-market believer, and hard-core anti-communist. Stories abound of how communists were thrown from helicopters on his order because they sought to subvert and destroy the free market. He stands as one of the few that sought to rout communism at the source. He handled communism in proportion to his idea of what communism could do to his people.
In proportion...they want us dead so its clear what must happen to commies. Sorry, your status as a citizen doesn't help. You are not American if you are commie. You get No status from me at all.
The helicopter meme has been around for a while, and I used to ironically like it. Now I unironically like it, but what event happened that most of the posts in the sub recently are talking about it?
From what I've heard a mixture of "conservative" cucks, leftists and shills were bitching about it and "muh principles" so I guess we went full throttle in response.
People born after Reagan really have no evidence of the difference between a democrat and a republican. Then they tell you democrats are anti-war and for the middle class and poor, then Obama does what he does and Ron Paul gets sidelined and now you know Donald Trump is not partisan, and the best president in awhile unless you're gay, radical feminist straight up commie or plain retarded
I’m probably the weirdest one here, I got so fucking far-left that I end up voting for Trump and aligning my cultural views with the right.
These so called “marxists” today are just corporate revisionary dumbfucks that need to die. Voting against their class interest by choosing a fucking democrat? They are already committing suicide
It’s like saving the environment from “climate change” by burning down the forests. If you actually care about the environment, why would you support that?
No, I was a stupid fucking moronic idiotic liberal Democrat until 1984 when I voted for Ron Reagan. Carter actually got my first vote at 18. So from 18 to 22 what changed. I joined the military and got educated for real. I already had a heart, I just needed a brain. MAGA
I'm with ya, libertarian party has moved farther and farther left. Apart from stupid crazy spending on stimulus Trump has been pretty good. Especially with every new regulation requiring two old ones being removed.
A Chilean general named Pinochet practically saved his country in the 1970s by throwing communists out of helicopters into the ocean. People here want to throw communists out of helicopters to save their country, too.
Not just a general, he was an Evil Right Wing Dictator™️, and the point of the helicopters is that the less zealous communists would learn to shut their pie holes before they got loaded on the chopper also. It worked.
Also he was an "evil dictator" that was asked to take control by the Congress, Army, Navy and Air Force that peacefully stepped down after an election once he was done dealing Allende's commie policies and sympathizers.
I’ve gone from centrist to libertarian (voted trump but was only like 50% maga) to paleocon and 100000% maga. Libertarianism is nice, but just like communism, cannot work in a society that rejects its premise
When I got my first job, started paying for my own insurance, and paying taxes. What really got me was the aca. It didn’t do anything to lower the cost of healthcare and what’s worse it raised the cost of my company insurance plan. I went from having Aetna which was so good, to Cigna which was shit.
Same here. Except I believe that if somehow mcshit or mittens were elected democrats would have had their blue wave. Everyone would have seen the right as incompetent and pro war. Now they see the left as that only because we have a true leader as the president
The road travelled... How fucking amazing is it that so many of us got to where we are at?
I don't consider myself a Republican. Bushes, Romney, McCain, all the other Rino's that the party pushed... Fox news showing it is nothing more than just a tool... How Dr Ron Paul was treated by the party and by Fox...
I AM FROM THE MOTHER FUCKING GOD EMPEROR TRUMPIAN PARTY!
I shit on the Republican party.
Trump however is something the Rep party cannot fabricate, or control. He isn't bought, and he isn't a Rino.
Never thought I would vote Rep again after Dr Ron Paul.
So relatable. In 2016 I would have voted for Bernie, ended up not voting. Now I’ve seen what Trump has done for the country and what liberals are trying to do to the country and can’t believe how wrong I was.
Ha! Same! My redpill was 2007 when I realized that Obama hadn't really ever said anything about a real plan and when I saw videos of him and my owner not covering their hearts for the flag. I realized that he wasn't going to be good for America.
When I was a young lad I wanted Bill Clinton to be president because he was so charismatic. I couldn't name a single specific policy he wanted to implement.
The MAGA movement is neither Republican nor Democrat.
Our approach is to attack the Right by being farther right (anti-degeneracy, pro-nationalist, use of force toward the enemies of the people), and attack the Left by being farther left (the rights of American workers and families over the rights of globocorp).
Leftists are turning people conservative. In 2005 the insane left only really existed in obscure blogs (they flocked to Tumblr when that came out), or being educated in college.
Now they are everywhere, and literally burning down cities.
Practically from the day Trump won the Republican nomination, crazy people were attacking anybody seen wearing a MAGA hat. Guess what, a lot of independent voters (and probably a lot of wavering on-the-fence liberals tempted to switch parties) saw the crazy and went "nope, fuck that".
The radicals are indeed sowing the seeds of their own destruction.
So I feel like My upbringing made me a conservative but it’s only in late 2018 did a care about politics.my large and mostly women family was mostly emotional welfare queens who did drugs and who knows what else. I was rebelliously conservative before it was cool in the last 3/4 years lol
I think people if schools were honest about conservativism, things would be a lot different. It’s not about condemnation all in the name of Jesus, it’s about realizing Jesus wants what’s best for people. Going out and shoveling money doesn’t fix problems (as someone who got grilled here for buying a 2020 car brand fucking new haha 😂). Going out and killing your baby isn’t gonna fix your problems if you are doing this shit out of wed lock. And finally, most people don’t fucking care and just want to be left alone to take care of themselves.
There’s a reason on the airplane, if she goes down, you make sure your emergency mask is on first before helping others.
I didn’t even become aware of politics until 2012 when I was 18. I became a huge Ron Paul supporter but then reluctantly voted for Romney because I figured he had a much better understanding of the economy due to his business background. Some black dude at the time actually told me I should vote for Obama because Romney and the Republicans want to take away welfare.
When Trump first announced he was running, I was all like "HA! No way does he win this". Then he started getting delegates in the primary. When he actually WON the Republican nomination, I was impressed.
Then shit got real.
The SAME day he won the nomination, I watched CNN go insane. Then MSNBC. Then others, in twos and threes. I watched almost every major news channel and web site completely abandon journalistic neutrality and go all-in for Hillary Clinton.
Y'all? That scared the living hell outta me. That's how dictatorships get started--when the media become a propaganda machine for one party. In that very moment when the mainstream media literally BECAME "fake news", I went hardcore for Trump. And I'm staying Deplorable for the foreseeable future.
2005: "McCarthy was an authoritarian jerk."
2016: "Maybe he had a point about commies subverting American institutions."
2020: "McCarthy was far too nice. He let them go on living."
Fuck dude. I never imagined in highschool civics class that I'd be one day considering McCarthy a pussy for not going far enough. God the world has changed in 20 years.
Well partly because McCarthy was demonized but the thing is he wasn’t wrong. The book Blacklisted by History sort of lays it out
If you've seen Yuri describing how marxist indoctrination innoculates people against truth, the McCarthy saga takes on a whole new meaning.
We've known for ~30 years that he was right. Western researchers got access to KGB archives after the fall of the Soviet Union in the early 90s. Those KGB files were corroborated by the Venona intercepts - captured and decrypted communications between soviet agents in the west and their handlers in Russia. And declassified domestic documents confirm both of those, and McCarthy had access to lots of then-classified information.
And to this day, his name is still a curse because most of the country has been poisoned with bullshit spread by exactly the people he was trying to expose. And the truth just bounces off.
Has any politician come out and said "McCarthy was right."
Need to meme McCarthy into the ether... the man was a damn hero. If it wasn't for his efforts they may have already succeeded incompletely subverting the United States.
We do have professional athletes overtly displaying their disrespect for our country on national television and millions of people still watch so who knows. Maybe they have succeeded
Did you know that Deep Throat was an FBI agent who set up Nixon?
When I see the WaPo's "legendary reporter" in action, let's just say that it rings differently now. I suspect the FBI is working on setting up Trump again. When Schifty trusts Wray, and the FBI makes a show of taking the knee, you know they can't be up to any good...
I didn't know that. Any book recommendations?
On Watergate? I dunno honestly. But they announced that My Friend was code for Mark Felt some years ago:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Felt
Interesting tidbits from there:
Weather Underground investigations
Among the criminal groups that the FBI investigated in the early 1970s was the Weather Underground. Their case was dismissed by the court because it concluded that the FBI had conducted illegal activities, including unauthorized wiretaps, break-ins, and mail interceptions. The lead federal prosecutor on the case, William C. Ibershof, claims that Felt and Attorney General John Mitchell initiated these illegal activities that tainted the investigation.[29]
In the early 1970s Felt had supervised Operation COINTELPRO, initiated by Hoover in the 1950s.
In a phone call on January 30, 1981, Edwin Meese encouraged President Ronald Reagan to issue a pardon. After further encouragement from Felt's former colleagues, President Reagan pardoned Felt and Miller. The pardon was signed on March 26, but due to the assassination attempt on March 30, was not announced to the public until April 15, 1981.[76][77][78]
In his 2012 book Leak: Why Mark Felt Became Deep Throat, Max Holland argued that Felt leaked the information in an attempt to become head of the FBI. Holland said that Felt wanted to create the perception that Gray "could not control the FBI". This could result in Nixon's firing Gray, leaving Felt as the obvious choice to run the agency. Holland said this plan (if it was one) backfired as Nixon and his team found out that Felt was the leaker.[110]
I could be wrong, but I think he started the thing on a hunch, but then uncovered huge groups of Commies in America. Mainly huge groups in Hollywood.
They (groups in Hollywood) are still there, however now the are boldly and defiantly in your face... I intuit a nine month war to eliminate all of the Commies in America, kind of like a clean 9 month abortion, which they are all for....
Also the Verona Papers I
Dammit, I already have too many books waiting to be read...time to add another to the list
I read that book...
McCarthy was right as rain - should have 'arrested' a few of them - and slowly arrested more and more.... let the 'momentum build' - let the crimes come out - every so many months....
That could have at least saved Hollywood for a few more generations.
They hit McCarthy hard, man. I wouldn't call him a pussy. He didn't have much help.
Trump has a much more personal connection to the people than Nixon did. Nixon was very reserved and formal, while Trump is gregarious and talks like a working man. Hence Trump's supporters stayed with him when the media came for him, while Nixon's support faded. Well that and Trump didn't panic into making several really bad decisions like Nixon did.
Thanks to the internet.
While we despise social media for their censorship, our movement exists only because there's an alternative news source other than the mainstream media.
Whoosh.
Not really a whoosh.
He did go after them though wtf he exposed all of them and it cost him his life. He did as much as he could. That “pussy” comment is pretty ignorant NGL Bc McCarthy was a Saint. Do you consider GEOTUS a pussy for not locking up all the deep state even though he’s done pretty much all he could? If not then stfu. Hope the Duram investigation goes though. Trump 2020. 4 more years!
Holy fuck are you salty. Talk about missing the fucking point.
So, it turns out that the Spanish Inquistion gets a bad rap too. It had some unpleasant parts to be sure, but it was certainly not the unrestrained reign of terror it is popularly assumed to be today.
Islamic wars of expansion had taken Spain and it took 500 years to push them back out. (Columbus's voyage in 1492 was financed by the crown in celebration of the completion of reconquesta.) Rather than put everyone to the sword, muslims and jews were offered the choice to convert or leave. Lots of them tried to do fake conversions where they'd publicly claim to be Christians, while remaining practicing jews or muslims at home.
The main thrust of the spanish inquisition was to root out these false conversions. In the end, the Spanish had better luck promoting swine as a national industry and pork as a national cuisine. It turns out that it is really hard to pass on a pig-fearing religion to your kids when they see you working with and eating pigs every day, even if you've convinced yourself that you are only doing it under duress.
I'm going to remember this next time I eat some delicious Serrano ham.
Fucking A right man. My brother and I were never really political and now we don't understand the world we live in. 20 years ago we were watching Jackass and Bam Magera. Now we're under attack by communists. WTF happened?! The Inquisition was brutal, but something like that is what we need.
Yeah, wtf happened to all of the anti-authority skater crowd (used to be one)? They all turned into a bunch of faggots. Now all we have is antifa losers. Conservatism is the new counter culture.
Fucking Obama. He signaled to everyone that the government was evil for racial and trans bullshit issues. Antifa is basically rioting for no fucking reason as well. They are at this point 1-800-Dial-A-Riot.
That bullshit carried over to the Trump years. I don't fucking trust younger skaters. When they want to be rebellious and shit. I look at them like they swallowed the blue pill.
For the most part I know I can trust most motor heads. Some kid wants to rip with his dirtbike, I know he's going to be based. Shit has fucking changed and it's not for the fucking better.
It's not even liberal bullshit anymore. It's communist bullshit. All of the tree huggers from days past are full blown commies now. The traditional "liberals" appear to be full on commies now. Fuck me.
Tru dat on the dirt bike kids. The dirt bike/skater kids tended to overlap in my area (WV) so I'd definitely revise my statement to make sure that box is checked too.
Fuck inner city skater commie losers.
Dude, my brother and I drove out to a town SW of Jackson Hole, WY last weekend. All of our more liberal "skater" friends moved there from Mound, MN. The guys that were raised by liberal parents are now as or more conservative than my brother and I. We all had dirt bikes, we all had sleds. Those skaters got a double dose of reality though.
For the millenials that grew up in the suburbs with boomer parents. A shit ton of us turned ultra conservative. More so than our own parents. I can't speak for all millenials as the ones raised in cities are basically scum. It's a start though.
That's like saying a corpse changed into a skeleton. The world didn't change; it progressed to the next stage of liberalism.
It didn't though. It's just the big cities that want the bizarre weird shit. Small town America is basically the same it's always been. The only major change is queers can get "married".
We're living through the death of an empire. Unless Trump can change the tide, America is going to break up.
I hope Trump breaks up America. Does anyone think we can legitimately share a system with actual pedophiles?
Oh gosh. The American experiment wouldn't break up along ideological lines. Our ideologies tell us that pedophilia is wrong. Basically, Christians want to kill pedophiles.
If America splits, it's going to become multiple ethnostates. This would keep with other empires breaking up over the last several thousand years. Think of Eastern Europe. That's what the US would become with a break up.
For everyone involved, it's best for everyone if we stay together and focus on 1 Christian ideology. Christianity tells us to be all be 1 people. It works under a large government power. However, during a split up, all the different races would go after each other to solve centuries old feuds.
Not good for anyone involved.
If we cannot reassert a single dominant culture, we will break up. There has never been a multicultural state for long. Successful multiracial states have been exceedingly rare in history, but not entirely nonexistant. America prior to approximately 1980 (lagged from the 1965 immigration treason) probably had more success than any of the others in that department.
Multiculturalism is a fucking myth.That's it. No big secret. It's made up.
No, it doesn’t.
Same
I’m worried we’ll go back to this
Can we...can we DO that?? 🐸🇺🇲
This guy is fantastic and was way out ahead of what modern leftism has become. How have I never heard of him before?
Sayet is always worth an upvote. His book is excellent - highly recommended reading for everyone here. Just ignore the parts where he promises a follow-on book later. Last I checked, someday never came.
You shouldn't be allowed to vote if you've never paid taxes. Uni students who don't have a part-time job because their parents are paying for everything do not have the necessary experience dealing with taxes and having responsibility of paying for their own food and rent.
I’m an 18 year old at an SEC school and my dad is paying for everything. BUT IM VOTING FOR TRUMP THIS NOVEMBER
The old guys think us young guns are idiots. We are, but we got some sense lol
Im a youngun paying my way through school. Young people can be conservative too! But they make a fair point that most people around our age are dumbasses
I’ll be the first to tell you that im a dumbass. But I’m a dumbass who can see the way the world works. I’m one of those rare hardcore blackpilled carefree rednecks.
Redd might call you a dumbass.
Jackass might call you a dumbass.
Your gf might call you a dumbass.
But if you're voting DJT, we won't call you a dumbass around here! I just fear how many 18-29 y.o. might vote for Biden. The thought gives me the creeps
If you're under 25, good luck getting a girlfriend if you are an open Trump supporter
Nah. It's easier than ever. Plenty of women are sick of the bullshit and betas running amok. I'll say that where you live has an effect too.
A non-trivial number of guys get thirsty and do stupid things chasing women. Sometimes they even become libtards :/
We call that dodging a bullet.
Well, there are some based females in their 20's. I won't hazard a guess as to how many nor the ratio to men. I assume any with crazy hair color are commulibs.
We're gonna call you a goddam patriot and give you a coat!
And bricks! Quad bricks, evennn.
Ludicrous bricks!
We were all dumbasses at 18, some more than others. You think you know how everything works at that age and full of testosterone, lol. Wait 20 years
You would be the exception, not the norm. You really won't understand how stupid young people really are until you hit your late 20's.
That's really not true. Lots of people are very mature well before 18. And lots of people are incredibly immature at 55.
You're thinking of people you know. I'm saying in general. It is a FACT that young men are stupid. When I was a young man, I was stupid. The majority of all men were stupid when they were young men. It's through experience of the years that we become wise.
When I was 18 I was pretty much a commie, BUT: in the sense of a strong government that regulates the economy for the benefits of the people.
This at least doesn't have bad intentions.
But now we have white 18 years old support a black supremacist movement and white genocide. How the hell can someone support a party that hates you because of your race?
Because they think they're protected. That's quite literally what they mean when they say useful idiots.
For me it’s not that I’m stupid. It’s that I don’t wanna to be smart. People put responsibilities on smart people, people expect more from smart people. I would rather everyone think I’m stupid. So I make stupid decisions that actually make me stupider. It’s strange.
Wrap up your dick and go easy on the pills and powder. That's the best advice i can give the younger generation. Probably try to stay out of trouble with the police too if you can but that has a lot to do with luck in my experience
At age 20-23 I was banging strippers while in the Infantry. 2 horrible decisions right there. I made them because I was young, dumb, and full of ....
You're still stupid. You're pretending that individuals aren't factual
Individuals do, in fact, exist. If you wanted your statement to resemble reality you would have to add qualifiers; trends or percentages would be useful to you as modifiers. Failure to include them is just a stupid mistake. Without them your claim is wrong, and indefensible
lol. WTF are you going on about? Ask any old man if he thinks young men are stupid. Yes. Yes they fucking are. lol. Why are you even arguing with me on this?
Why are young men stupid? Because it's more balls then brains at age 18. LOL
Pretty smart for an 18 yo, Mr. Vandelay, of Vandelay industries.
I wonder if I would have been as based as you and others of your gen at that age in this climate.
Find a nice southern belle down there while you’re at it, and continue to MAGA!
There are lots of pretty girls here, but I’ve found that they are all crazy. They’re fun but I don’t plan on finding a girl worth marrying here lol
You're absolutely right. One thing I've noticed is that a lot of older pedes in their 40s or older don't seem to have quite a grasp on how bad things have gotten. Not saying they're totally ignorant or out of touch of course, they know things are bad. But there is still this perception that there are these fabled pockets of highly conservative, traditional, religious, etc ladies in small towns or little southern private colleges, or at churches in Oklahoma and such. These older pedes knew that big state colleges or cities were cesspools of leftism in the late 90s or early 00s but there were pockets of traditional America that hadn't been infected yet and you could still find a lot of great conservative traditional women if you knew where to look. They don't know that this has changed in the past 20 years, even more so in the past 4 or 5. Even those little pockets in rural Oklahoma or Iowa are almost entirely gone now. It really has gotten that bad. If you got married in 2003 or something, you wouldn't have a reason to know this, but those of you thinking there is still some mythical land of traditional conservative women out there just waiting to be tapped by conservative men who know where to look, unfortunately the Leftist mindvirus has infected even those places.
Our country has completely bowed to the far left. What do you think can/will even happen from here?
Capitulation and destruction, or war.
My son talks about this. He is sad that there are no decent women. His words
my son says the same. He is at wits end
Ya never know...based belles are a national treasure!
I see this argument, even for myself. I became libertarian/conservative pretty early, voted trump in 2016 at 18. Yet I think there's a good argument to add more requirements for voting. Age being the worse and employment/taxes being better. I was working at 15 though so that also makes a huge difference. Probably some deep psychological reason for the conservative liberal split.
I did odd jobs the last few summers. Baling/stacking hay and pouring/forming concrete were definitely the hardest days.
I am also similar to you, but I would happily trade my right to vote if that meant everyone else under 30 also couldn't vote
Even more so if you haven't experienced the larceny of property taxes.
Yeah, property taxes and/ or income taxes should be a requirement for voting. I'd like to test basic knowledge of any candidate voted for too
Fck that. Property taxes should be abolished in this country. What do you really own, if the government can charge you rent indefinitely, and seize your "property" if you don't pay?
Ok that's an interesting point too. Property tax is Constitutional, income tax is not, except for time of war. Some States make it almost impossible to lose your property for failure to pay property tax. Others seize it quickly, or at least put it up for auction.
Eh? Income tax is now Constitutional due to a constitutional amendment. The 16th to be precise. It is abhorrent to a free society, but our "greatest Generation" passed it.
Property tax, on the other hand, is a state thing, particularly because the US Constitution doesn't forbid the states from imposing it.
Are you sure the 16th actually passed, as in followed due process to actually pass?
I dream of a world where in order to vote you must meet one of these criteria:
Meeting just one of these ought to be stupid easy for any normal productive person. They just insure that you have some skin in the game for the future health of society. You can still be a childless renting wage-slave if you want, but you don't get to be treated like a full citizen.
Well, obviously property taxes have to go as well, because they're wildly unconstitutional and anathema to the very spirit of the United States as founded. That way, individuals at the margin cannot be hounded from their owned property as you say.
Good point.
This would make women's vote absolutely dwarf that of every other class.
We'd be living out the SCUM Manifesto in 8 years tops under this system.
Requirement one is ridiculous, what would possess you to include that? It's self-evident that any dumb bitch can and will get knocked up by any loser who caught her eye at the club. No-way, José.
Needs to add you pay net positive taxes to the IRS, after EITC and Child Credit.
With so many layers of economic value being created in our modern service and information economy, the base notion of value-creation through land ownership can be argued as largely obsolete. On the other hand, the notion of investment in the future of the country as a function of geographical permanence is not obsolete, so you could go either way.
But regardless of where one stands on land-ownership as a requirement, I'm with you entirely that net positive financial contribution should be a 100% requirement. The phrase "two wolves and a sheep voting on dinner" comes to mind.
That's what I thought too. In ancient Israel, to serve in the Sanhedrin you had to be a father. Didn't matter how wise you were if you were childless.
So it sounds good on that level. Children mature you.
But yeah, we'd get overwhelmed by the welfare queens and single mothers.
The Sanhedrin made some pretty bone headed decisions if I recall correctly.
Well.... any governing body is bound to make some once in a while.
You forgot: Have a penis.
In all seriousness, no country can survive multiple generations of women voting.
support the child
I would agree to that, but with the caveat that if you have enlisted (not officers, OCS candidates, etc) in the military, you can vote once you've actually sworn the oath. You would lose this if you receive a premature discharge other than Honorable, though you get put back into the "can vote if otherwise eligible and once you've paid taxes" pot.
Only net-positive taxpayers should ever be allowed to vote.
The government should keep a tally of every service ever used by every person and its value. And you only get to vote if you've paid into the system more than you took out.
Good point!
That might have been true long ago when Churchill was alive. But in modern days, with all information on your phone or computer, any man over 20 who is a liberal is just a retard.
It's a shame women don't ever learn (for the most part)
At least some of the men become conservative
The woman's world is inherently a relative one. It's not who is what, or even has what, but rather who has more, who is more, more powerful, more influential. Women have been swayed more easily than men by a century of leftist propaganda, brainwashing, and now outright gaslighting. As a result, femininity is on the verge of total destruction as younger and younger women are absorbed into the inherently-political drug/club/sex/tattoo subculture miasma.
Objectively, this transition is not just Another Cultural Phase that someone with leftist sympathies (no matter how mild) can just hand-wave away with the usual, oh, everyone says kids are wild compared to their youth, as we see more and more young women permanently destroy their bodies and minds in pursuit of relative status positions of the new degenerate culture Hollywood, ad agencies, record labels, social media and Valley firms, fashion titans, and others have conspired to create.
But the aforementioned cultural miasma, it's like a wildfire now. It will consume even those cultures that set it upon the world, as well as those that are happy to see it spread and weaken their enemies (i.e. China), until resisted by some immutable counter-cultural force. Our conservatism has the potential to be that force; if the values we represent are destroyed, however, I don't think any culture in the world, anytime soon, will be able to resist the intellectual virus that Marxist post-modernism represents. I suspect then that even China in short order would begin to suffer a second-order version of "Yuri's Cultural Malady".
To be fair, when someone doesn't know something most people say to Google it.
What kind of results does Google give someone who searches something? Biased ones that lean hard toward radical leftism.
Even on DuckDuckgo, when I searched a query relating to Net Neutrality for a paper i had to write the other night, I had to scroll through 4 or so pages of dogshit from MSM before I got a result that was against net neutrality (regulations).
Exactly. I have friends and coworkers who think they’re super knowledgeable about things because they “do their research”. But they’re not even aware that the sources that they’re basing their opinions on are biased and flawed.
And then they look at you as a nutcase because "not every source can be compromised"
You also have all the disinformation on your phone or computer. It takes wisdom to cut through al the bullshit, and wisdom typically comes with age and experience.
The left also sells simplistic answers that appeal to young people who only want to skim the surface of politics.
Like the whole Republicans = greedy businessmen trope. It’s a total cartoon explanation, and not even consistent with today’s corporate boardrooms, but there is just enough truth to it to a young person’s naive mind that they may end up buying into that filter for decades.
The pursuit of truth is thousands of years old, ironically; I have no doubts at all that most prominent ancient thinkers, once they recovered from the shock and novelty of information-age post-modernity, would instantly appreciate the intellectual challenge of mass, instantly-available information, but curated by elites looking specifically to shape discourse--and their prescription would be the very same skepticism and principles of early epistemology they were teaching in the ancient world. With the right approach, even the young can attain this wisdom.
It's shameful how so little education now is centered on teaching children HOW to critically approach and parse the overwhelming body of accumulated human knowledge, but rather, simply memorizing a pointless subset of a subset of it.
b̶r̶a̶i̶n̶s̶ money
Most of the antifa-types are poor as shit, hence why they want free shit from the government. Of course their are plenty of rich libs who virtue signal so they don't have to actually be good people, which requires work
Either they're poor, useless, perverted losers or they're useless, perverted trust fund babies.
Common theme? No idea how the world works.
Also easier to motivate gutter rats to do your bidding: they come cheap.
Change that to 20. Most of us need to smarten up a lot sooner. 30 is too late.
No kidding. Once the Baby Boomers pass away who is going to replace them? There aren't enough young people in the blue collar trades or small businesses to keep up, especially not young based people. The boomer generation is so large that it's impossible for just millenials to replace them.
This means that Zoomers needs to put on their big boy pants and we all need to have more kids.
GenX is still the forgotten generation apparently. Half of us are based AF, the other half went full fucking retard and turned into the worst boomer or millennial stereotypes you can imagine.
This is entirely correct.
laughs
Fix family law first, or develop artificial wombs. Either will do.
Sure beats the massive immigration that will happen in the other case
I'm not subscribing to the false dichotomy that you either sell your soul to a woman or the government imports Islamists.
Why does the population have to grow?
The economists running the government say that the economy only grows alongside population growth. Of course, if we don't meet our replacement rate of 2.1, they say we need to immigrate.
There are other factors besides the economy, but that's the primary argument in favor of mass immigration
The white population proportion must increase. Now that happens doesn’t matter
Funny I'm 25 and my first vote was for Trump for President and rand paul for Senate. Guess no one needed my vote
You are the exception to the rule
See, this is one of the problems with modern discourse. Someone says, "People under 30 to vote irresponsibly" to which some under-30 person replies "I don't! Therefore what you say isn't true!"
I think if statistics and logic were taught in school, instead of fisting and gender-counting, we would never see this type of argument form anyone other than paid Chinese disinformation specialists.
A core concept that many people these days cannot comprehend is that YOU ARE NOT THE WORLD. YOU ARE JUST SOME FLAILING MTHRFCKR.
Never argued statistics. Look at my reply, read it well. I only stated my age, who I voted for, and a joke that my vote wasn't needed. I never made a mention that it was the "norm" or that the person posting was wrong in any way. I made a joke. You made a rant and threw a shitfit. You're the reason why some select people haven't joined our side yet. Have a great night. I'll be strolling into the my polling booth on election day and proudly voting for President Trump. Opinions be Damned!
Yes, that was the whole point, buddy. Young people under 30 voting irresponsibly and you being under 30 and not voting irresponsibly can BOTH BE TRUE. My point was that you should recognize that you are a glorious statistical anomaly and not take it personally when someone is saying that the rest of your age bracket is retarded.
Now go forth and do God's work.
that about sums it up for me. i could have cared less about politics for most of my life until the world started going to shit and everything went all faggy and there are trannys everywhere and pedo movies on netflix .sometime around 2015 i started to go wtf is going on around here?
Christians were right about the slippery slope
Anthropology and archaeology agree that it's more like 80,000 years; more than that and you're talking about a genetic legacy (and associated mental capacities) that are simply too different to be compared directly even to pre-pre-classical eras.
The Toba eruption 75K years ago almost made us extinct. I often wonder about the heathen or enlightened civilizations that existed before and after that event. Crazy fornication parties in caves with roaring fires, sacrifices, wacky religions with now lost spiritual awarenesses, long-gone eroded architectural sites, etc.
Indeed, I imagine there are some truly wild happenings totally lost to time.
We don't even know what happened to the Bronze Age civilizations three thousand years ago ("sea peoples", some earthquakes, and maybe a drought" is a remarkably vague understanding of the collapse of multiple major nations in an entire geographical region), let alone ten thousand years, or thirty thousand years. Yet we know that biologically, a human child from fifty-thousand years ago could be raised today and fit in perfectly, never knowing they actually popped out of a time portal (or, you know, however they got here), so it stands to reason that the events would be remarkably comprehensible to us, with individuals motivated by the same physical, biological, and psychological realities and constraints that we deal with today.
Maybe someday we'll figure out how to extract information from black-holes (or some other high-concept sci-fi rigmarole) and can see it all go down...
That’s a very broad statement. While some Christians do hold the 6,000 year theory I think that’s a minority of Christians worldwide.
My wakeup call for how dumb politics/culture had become was Harambe lol.
I’m historically middle of the road/moderate slight right on policy, yet fiscally conservative.
The issue isnt my conservatism, it’s how did the left drive off a Marxist cliff to make a moderate look alt right by comparison?
The crazier left they go, the more right I go.
Because rabid commie larpers aren’t taking my country from me.
This is literally how fascism arose in the 20th century. Fascism isn't a standalone ideology, its literally just Anticomm
You sound like me. I feel like everyone here have shifted more right because of how awful the left is. To be fair, they are literally burning people alive, beating the elderly, let four 20 yos who gassed some cops (yes, chlorine. That chlorine) off with a slap on the wrist, have our entire country hostage over the flu, arresting people just trying to run a business or fucking paddle alone in the ocean, execute 5 year olds, sexualize 10 year olds, and the list goes on.... And not enough has been done.
And this is just this year.
When you list it all out like that, it really is insanity!
Man I forgot about Cuomo having healthy young people vented despite being negative for COVID and pedes literally being executed just for existing
Trump supporters getting shot in cold blood while a hero kid sits in a jail cell for defending himself from a rabid mob.
Also Cuomo pumping the kung flu into nursing homes and killing thousands.
I had to bite my tongue in front of a client today after I already let the cat out of the bag about Michigan businesses: governors have absolutely no right to shut down private business on a massive scale. What an egregious abuse of power, under any guise.
Thank God for this place, aside from based fam and friends, having a community of like minded people that doesn’t resemble the bleak current events out there has been pretty amazing.
I know 0 Trump supporters in real life. This place is awesome
Damn bro. I’m sorry. More power to you, though.
Journalism after WW2 adopted left wing bias because those jobs were centered in major metropolitan areas. Furthermore in the 60s-70s these jobs started requiring a college background. Democrats even as far back as the 1800s dominated the university system but this became worse in the 20th century since academics do not have to worry about market forces.
That's why mainstream media had a left wing bias even against Ford & Reagan. The increasing education bubble slowly made the bias worse...
But what really turned so many leftists insane was Social Media. The social media algorithms rewarded stories that elicit anger from as many groups as possible. All of a sudden twisting the facts about a white cop killing a black suspect drew in a lot of money so more of these stories came out. By the end of Obama's second term these stories could net $10-25k each.
Agreed. Also can’t help but think the whole Frost vs Nixon threw the MSM front and center into the story and they ran with it.
“SJW: origins”
I'm gonna be real, I voted for Trump simply for the lulz. I didn't expect to do much, but his performance in office has greatly exceeded my expectations. I'm gonna gladly vote for him again.
I'll be honest, I believed full heartedly in a communist system from high school through college. Obama was the greatest, Obamacare was a great step forward, Republicans were fools (though that part is still partly true-looking at you, Mittens). Then I hit the real world, paid taxes, Trump started running, he said build a wall and I thought...huh...that makes sense. I never believed in the social justice stuff, either, so it was all the easier for me to come over to MAGA. Now I see how I was a dumb kid, and Trump is the president for the real world, not commie fantasy land, and commies themselves can rot.
That's OK, though I was a Democrat in college in the late 80s, I switched and voted for Ross Perot in 1992, Bob Dole in 1996, then George W. Bush twice, then McCain, then Romney. And then Trump of course.
While I always chose what I thought was the better candidate given the circumstances, the only decision I know was right was the most recent one.
I know my next one will be right too.
Large chunks of the Republican party are bought out by the lobbyists. We need to support the true pedes who care about the people
Commie to republican here
Always remember where you and your neighbor place on the Anti-Marxists Scale
Ronald Reagan -> Explain to the Marxists why they are wrong, and use a moderate amount of force to put them down if they start causing civil unrest.
Joseph McCarthy -> Remove Marxists from power and ensure that they never work again.
A. Mitchell Palmer -> Arrest all Marxists and banish them from the country.
Augusto Pinochet -> Kill all the Marxists.
Francisco Franco -> Kill all the Marxists and their moderate/leftist sympathizers.
I honestly thought there was no point & we were fucked in a rigged system, pre 2016. I am still doom & gloom but I'm gonna fight tooth n nail for Trump and MAGA.
It's definitely rigged. They just underestimated Trump and how many Americans were ready to just vote for an outsider. They assumed a +4 in the aggregate and some voter fraud in Florida and Ohio was enough.
There's international and national poll watchers. Voting machines and tabulation also change state by state. That's why they're pushing for mail in voting. In 2018 the Democrats in the government declared an election emergency and allowed late ballots to come in. Test run.
Question for any of my fellow pedes here! I clearly missed the boat on the helicopter meme/joke, and while I ‘get’ it, and I laugh, where did it originate? Like countless have said, miss a day or two here at any point, and you end up sometimes feeling as confused as Biden!
Pinochet was a free-market believer, and hard-core anti-communist. Stories abound of how communists were thrown from helicopters on his order because they sought to subvert and destroy the free market. He stands as one of the few that sought to rout communism at the source. He handled communism in proportion to his idea of what communism could do to his people.
In proportion...they want us dead so its clear what must happen to commies. Sorry, your status as a citizen doesn't help. You are not American if you are commie. You get No status from me at all.
I wish we had a Pinochet... The left is already full throttle on their Communist tactics.
That's a really good way to put it.
The helicopter meme has been around for a while, and I used to ironically like it. Now I unironically like it, but what event happened that most of the posts in the sub recently are talking about it?
From what I've heard a mixture of "conservative" cucks, leftists and shills were bitching about it and "muh principles" so I guess we went full throttle in response.
Someone uncovered Augusto Pinochet's preferred method of disposing of commies and it stuck, largely because it makes the libs clutch their pearls.
Pinochet
Accurate except switch 2005 to 2014. 😂
People born after Reagan really have no evidence of the difference between a democrat and a republican. Then they tell you democrats are anti-war and for the middle class and poor, then Obama does what he does and Ron Paul gets sidelined and now you know Donald Trump is not partisan, and the best president in awhile unless you're gay, radical feminist straight up commie or plain retarded
I’m probably the weirdest one here, I got so fucking far-left that I end up voting for Trump and aligning my cultural views with the right.
These so called “marxists” today are just corporate revisionary dumbfucks that need to die. Voting against their class interest by choosing a fucking democrat? They are already committing suicide
Yep, to be honest. Marx would be rolling in his grave if he sees the kind of people who “support” his ideology.
It’s like saving the environment from “climate change” by burning down the forests. If you actually care about the environment, why would you support that?
Karl Marx was pro 2nd amendment and said to not trust the govt. Marxists today want to take your gun rights away.
Yes! Exactly
No, I was a stupid fucking moronic idiotic liberal Democrat until 1984 when I voted for Ron Reagan. Carter actually got my first vote at 18. So from 18 to 22 what changed. I joined the military and got educated for real. I already had a heart, I just needed a brain. MAGA
"Have you always been so conservative?"
"Yes, I have had a working brain for as far back as I can recall."
"Idle helicopters are the devil's playthings" ~ Augusto José Ramón Pinochet Ugarte (probably)
I'm with ya, libertarian party has moved farther and farther left. Apart from stupid crazy spending on stimulus Trump has been pretty good. Especially with every new regulation requiring two old ones being removed.
What's the story on the chopper?
It’s you. Pushing commies out...while your friend pilots.
Pinochet threw commies out of copters.
Get to the choppa! We need to throw out some commies and make America great again!
It's the Pinochet meme. You need to learn some non-globalist history.
I’m out of the loop. All I can find are memes, lol. Anyone mind explaining/linking what happened?
A Chilean general named Pinochet practically saved his country in the 1970s by throwing communists out of helicopters into the ocean. People here want to throw communists out of helicopters to save their country, too.
Not just a general, he was an Evil Right Wing Dictator™️, and the point of the helicopters is that the less zealous communists would learn to shut their pie holes before they got loaded on the chopper also. It worked.
Sweet! Thanks for that
Also he was an "evil dictator" that was asked to take control by the Congress, Army, Navy and Air Force that peacefully stepped down after an election once he was done dealing Allende's commie policies and sympathizers.
You mean the helicopter? Look up Augusto Pinochet or the caravan of death. Or you can check out the short and sweet explanation from Know Your Meme.
I resemble this remark
Yup I'm not too thrilled about heights but I'm at the point where I'd pay whatever for a helicopter ride with a communist.
I’ve gone from centrist to libertarian (voted trump but was only like 50% maga) to paleocon and 100000% maga. Libertarianism is nice, but just like communism, cannot work in a society that rejects its premise
Paleoconservatism is exactly was is needed
Funny part is, 2020 Republicans would be considered Democrats in the 90's. That's how tilted the left got in 30 years.
The real party switch.
Republicans now ARE what the Dems claimed to be - the party for the American working class.
When I got my first job, started paying for my own insurance, and paying taxes. What really got me was the aca. It didn’t do anything to lower the cost of healthcare and what’s worse it raised the cost of my company insurance plan. I went from having Aetna which was so good, to Cigna which was shit.
It’s such a bizarre execution method but I love it
Gives em time to repent before splat happens.
Thats what makes it funny for me. Its so ridiculous lol
Well said and so true!!!!!
Same here. Except I believe that if somehow mcshit or mittens were elected democrats would have had their blue wave. Everyone would have seen the right as incompetent and pro war. Now they see the left as that only because we have a true leader as the president
The road travelled... How fucking amazing is it that so many of us got to where we are at?
I don't consider myself a Republican. Bushes, Romney, McCain, all the other Rino's that the party pushed... Fox news showing it is nothing more than just a tool... How Dr Ron Paul was treated by the party and by Fox...
I AM FROM THE MOTHER FUCKING GOD EMPEROR TRUMPIAN PARTY!
I shit on the Republican party.
Trump however is something the Rep party cannot fabricate, or control. He isn't bought, and he isn't a Rino.
Never thought I would vote Rep again after Dr Ron Paul.
Trump has taken control of the republicans..it's so awesome
Now if he can just get them all to find their balls!
So relatable. In 2016 I would have voted for Bernie, ended up not voting. Now I’ve seen what Trump has done for the country and what liberals are trying to do to the country and can’t believe how wrong I was.
Better late than never
Nice. Ne for sure with this one.
Ha! Same! My redpill was 2007 when I realized that Obama hadn't really ever said anything about a real plan and when I saw videos of him and my owner not covering their hearts for the flag. I realized that he wasn't going to be good for America.
This about describes my path...
When I was a young lad I wanted Bill Clinton to be president because he was so charismatic. I couldn't name a single specific policy he wanted to implement.
Then I got much older and much wiser.
I didn't give a shit about politics until the left made me a hardcore right winger.
The MAGA movement is neither Republican nor Democrat.
Our approach is to attack the Right by being farther right (anti-degeneracy, pro-nationalist, use of force toward the enemies of the people), and attack the Left by being farther left (the rights of American workers and families over the rights of globocorp).
Leftists are turning people conservative. In 2005 the insane left only really existed in obscure blogs (they flocked to Tumblr when that came out), or being educated in college.
Now they are everywhere, and literally burning down cities.
Practically from the day Trump won the Republican nomination, crazy people were attacking anybody seen wearing a MAGA hat. Guess what, a lot of independent voters (and probably a lot of wavering on-the-fence liberals tempted to switch parties) saw the crazy and went "nope, fuck that".
The radicals are indeed sowing the seeds of their own destruction.
I hate politics. I love a good conspiracy. Politics has caught up to me lol
Yeah, except some of us have the shame of gay rights and feminism pre-2005.
Not all gays believe having sex in the street while everyone praises your 'courage' is virtuous let alone a hoomin rite
So I feel like My upbringing made me a conservative but it’s only in late 2018 did a care about politics.my large and mostly women family was mostly emotional welfare queens who did drugs and who knows what else. I was rebelliously conservative before it was cool in the last 3/4 years lol
I think people if schools were honest about conservativism, things would be a lot different. It’s not about condemnation all in the name of Jesus, it’s about realizing Jesus wants what’s best for people. Going out and shoveling money doesn’t fix problems (as someone who got grilled here for buying a 2020 car brand fucking new haha 😂). Going out and killing your baby isn’t gonna fix your problems if you are doing this shit out of wed lock. And finally, most people don’t fucking care and just want to be left alone to take care of themselves.
There’s a reason on the airplane, if she goes down, you make sure your emergency mask is on first before helping others.
This is totally me!
Me to a 'T'.
I didn’t even become aware of politics until 2012 when I was 18. I became a huge Ron Paul supporter but then reluctantly voted for Romney because I figured he had a much better understanding of the economy due to his business background. Some black dude at the time actually told me I should vote for Obama because Romney and the Republicans want to take away welfare.
This made me LOL!
When Trump first announced he was running, I was all like "HA! No way does he win this". Then he started getting delegates in the primary. When he actually WON the Republican nomination, I was impressed.
Then shit got real.
The SAME day he won the nomination, I watched CNN go insane. Then MSNBC. Then others, in twos and threes. I watched almost every major news channel and web site completely abandon journalistic neutrality and go all-in for Hillary Clinton.
Y'all? That scared the living hell outta me. That's how dictatorships get started--when the media become a propaganda machine for one party. In that very moment when the mainstream media literally BECAME "fake news", I went hardcore for Trump. And I'm staying Deplorable for the foreseeable future.
