They would tell you that at least they knew there WAS bread and toilet paper at the end of the line, and not a big FU from the oligarchs. If they were being honest, they'd also say something about the prestige that came with being a super power.
Invariably, most of these folks were mid-to-high level party members that had a decent number of guaranteed perks. When the communism fell, they had nothing and no one, except the resentment of their fellows who were less well off. Too old to adapt, they of course pine for the old ways.
A nice sentiment-- but the NRA was formed in 1871 and was led after its founding by former Civil War General Ambrose Burnside.
Burnside was known to lament the poor quality of union troops. Compared to their southern counterparts, who outshot them 1000 rounds to 1, according to Union records and estimates. What does that mean? It means for every Confederate hit, the Union popped off 1000 shots, 999 that didn't hit shit.
In the post war years, Marksmanship was treated more like a sport, with American and British and Irish national teams and others competing against each other in various places. The NRA was involved in sponsoring and fielding these teams, and studying and observing rifleman and militia training in other nations.
According to Cuckpedia, the first national legislation aimed at gun control as we know it came in 1938. Just as an offhand guess from me as a student of this shit, it was probably the result of yellow journalism driven headlines about prohibition-related gangster lawlessness in the streets of Chicago and other cities as organized crime occasionally fought over territory.
Harold Ford, Jr. is just another in a long line of young !vibrant! politicians that at one time or another were darlings of the official press, getting pushed forward in hopes they might go all the way to the white house. The number one unifying characteristic, is that none of them were truly qualified for the job, and why exactly they were getting that push, no one will admit.
Obongo happens to be the first that succeeded. The older you get, the more and more you recognize it. But they basically come out of nowhere, get the Dan Crenshaw treatment (they're the future of the party!) in places like Salon and Slate and The Atlantic, and then fizzle out when personal failures come to light.
In Ford's case, they must've thought he'd really get traction, as he comes from a long family line of corrupt West Memphis, TN Democrats. I'm pretty sure that's also what did him in, his fingers had visible cookie crumbs or something.
Others who've been gushed over in similar fashion: Dan Crenshaw, Obama, Henry Cisneros (From San Antonio. Had a bimbo eruption), and maaaybe John Edwards.
I'm sure there are others I am unaware of. It happens at the state level too. Ever since Cisneros flamed out, they've been casting about for another charismatic hispanic Texas Mayor to push forward. I remember when they briefly latched on to this one woman mayor from Laredo that was briefly getting national ink during W.'s administration. That died off when they realized how nutty she was.
They've tried the same with the Castro brothers, but backed off when they realized the rest of the country finds them just a little too fey and lispy.
That's like black american dudes, thinking they're going to slay in Italy.
I'm like, uh, bro.... most blacks in italy rn are fresh off the boat from north africa, and are regarded as petty larcenous dirtbags by most italians.
You will not be slaying.
I saw some speculation that the shooter may've been the capitol security guy that died of a heart attack. A wrapping up of a loose end, if you will.
Who knows. There are a lot of oddities associated with the whole thing. I suspect, like the Vegas mass shooting, there will be a lot of things we never learn.
Son,
This site will be banned by hook or by crook.
We could go on a puppies only posting spree, and they'll tell us the puppies are clearly code, and someone was advocating violence against the black labradors, which were clearly representations of black lives matter.
Reee.
It doesn't matter what you do. When "they" are out to get you, they will find, manufacture, fabricate, create, gin up, torture any excuse they can.
Best thing you can do, is use their behavior as a guidestone, to reassure you that you are over the target.
Here's an interesting observation:
Gay men are not getting divorced nearly as much as the lesbians.
Weird, no?
Almost like the problem with marriage and divorce may not necessarily lie with Men.
Anecdotally, I can tell you that some of the most wild and savage incidences of domestic violence I've come in contact with have involved lesbian couples. Talking about going at each other with carving knives, baseball bats, etc, over the stupidest shit.
One in particular, they were assaulting each other with power tools.
This man right here.
Even though he refers to 'cookie cutter' stuff, sometimes you need to just reset and get back to basics. Fundamentals.
Pick 1 thing. Just 1 thing to do every day, that you need to do, but haven't been. Could be as simple as brushing your teeth. Or, not drinking. Just pick one. And do it. Stick with it. Do not stop.
Then, add another thing. And another thing after that. This is how discipline is forged. As you succeed at doing these simple things, everyday, without fail, you will find that slowly, but surely, the rest of it has started to fall in line. Like magic.
This guy right here.
The days of the "Paladins of the Road" and the "Heroes of the Highway" are long over.
Do not believe the myth that the trucking industry is desperate for drivers. It is a myth, propagated solely so that there is a constant churn of low skilled drivers at the bottom end, holding the steering wheels for the big companies and driving down the cost of shipping freight.
Every incoming class of new drivers is mostly made up of fresh off the boat black africans and muslims, some hindus and others. Meanwhile, the big companies are lobbying furiously to allow mexican drivers to deliver throughout the lower 48.
This is not to say that Jose, Kaseem, and Mohammed are bad guys, or even terrible drivers. Some are, some aren't. They just have different priorities, and you will not be able to count on them to uphold a unified drivers' strike.
I think you're almost certainly right. It's such a basic elemental point, that after some reflection, you have to know the phrase "violence is never right" is just some bullshit people say nowadays, and don't really mean.
Sorry Steve, I disagree-- some violence can be justified.
Let's be honest, voting is the exercise of violence by proxy. The imposition of the will of some, against the will of others.
And when violence by proxy is failing you, what is your recourse?
You either spread your cheeks and take it, or you resolve to go out there and give it instead.
If this truly is it.... man.
6 months ago, I didn't think I'd care to be on one of the first rockets to mars. A life shortened by space cancer seemed like a bad deal.
Now, what's the alternative?
A life of no consequence, where I can look forward to eating cricket bars, and meal worm patties, and feel lucky for the days soy is available at market, before I go back to my shared domicile to watch TV with all the strangers housed there with me. Goodnight, back to my sleeping pod. See you tomorrow at the Living Subsistence Office's front desk.
Fuck that. Strap my ass to a rocket, and shoot my ass right into the Olympus Mons. Space Cancer, Space AIDS, dead in 10 years? Who cares. At least I'd be breaking a trail on a frontier, knowing it might be better and easier for those who come after.
These fuckers are so bound and determined to play fading Athens to China's Rome, we may not even get to Mars. They'll find some way to fuck that up, and shut SpaceX down.
Probably because not enough Lesbian Muslim Engineers with prosthetic limbs.
One of the best Joe Rogan podcasts was one where the guest dropped the redpill about moslems and retardation rates.
Rogan's boy Jaime found a bunch of links on BBC and other sources.
You won't find much recent coverage, unless it's been whitewashed, referring vaguely to asian populations, migrant populations, and what have you. Basically, where they substitute vague generalizations so they don't offend any moslems.
