Too bad the founding fathers were not so perfect as every 'true american' wishes to believe.

I’ve never claimed the f.f. Were perfect. Or that I’m a true American.
I agree with the late great Lysander spooner

“Whether the constitution be one thing or another, this much is certain it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or been powerless to prevent it.
In either case it’s unfit to exist”

The sheiks don’t allow their boy toys to leave the ME. Meanwhile in South America, sending your kids on the rape trail is somehow a badge of honor

Interesting backstory on how "Western" intel managed to alter or modify who runs what with the Saudis.
The outcomes of such will be written about in the future, and read by very few.
Always found it more than a little interesting how little was ever made public about how the original
"arrangements" were made between the US and the family which controlled the oil.
As for the "rape trail", rape is a tool of war, in the same way that heroin or cocaine is.
Never cease to be amazed at how our society loves to blame the victim here, while studiously
ignoring those who perpetuate such activities.
A casual glance at the history of Sullivan and Cromwell will show a history few American's
would take any pride in. This gentleman explains it well:

I been saying Fox is turning liberal. I can't watch anyone outside of Tucker. It's the reason why many are turning to YouTube and other outside sources for news. They will never change our views no matter what they do, just lose viewers lol.

"Republicans to the left of tucker the fascist are liberal"

lol

Liberals don't exist on the left anymore. Liberalism died at the hands of Wokeness. The Woke cult is the newest Religion. Sadly the last vestiges of liberalism are on the right. Pretty unbelievable that more than half the country would belive liberty is offensive.

You really have no clue what facism is. If we had true facism, you would have had your head caved in for the above quoted post, and thousands of previous posts. I understand why you have concerns about facism, it's not that far off if we don't course correct. The fact is if facism takes over it will be from the Leftist Woke Corporate Religion.

I do see the irony in the context of recent banning. The tired faux context of private corporation can control what they allow , probably applies here more than in the U.S. based monstrosities that is Twitter, and Fakebook who conveniently receive plenty of government funds.

@ Boogieman, you should be watching both sides. A right-wing bubble isn't really much better than a left wing bubble. There are a few reasonable people on the left, they don't work for corporate media. Substack is probably the best place to find reasonable people on the left.

Liberals have never been the left my guy. Liberals uphold the capitalist status quo. Leftists want to fix/ammend/reform/revolt against capitalism with many of them being flat out against the idea of private ownership.

Sadly the last vestiges of liberalism are on the right.
you've almost got it lol you're almost there packer.

You really have no clue what facism is.
i think i do, as i've consistently posted long posts about it and they've gone unchallenged this entire time.

If we had true facism, you would have had your head caved in for the above quoted post, and thousands of previous posts.
this is the fallacy of those who do not understand fascists don't need to be historical fascists (ie cut from the Mussolini cloth) or hold ultimate power to be fascists. just like every fucked up ideology, over the past 100 years they have gone underground and have become more careful, in the same sense the KKK and other racist groups have done. you don't see too many Klan rallies these days... why? it's because they've found a more effective means of poisoning the discourse and taking jobs within the system to change it from within (ie - becoming cops). fascists are no different. and if you want to be more precise, it's neo-fascism (post WW2 fascism).

I understand why you have concerns about facism, it's not that far off if we don't course correct.
both parties are currently and provably fascist. with the democrats (liberals, NOT leftists) they take on a role (through their failed policies and governing and ineffectiveness) to push people right. acting almost as an ineffective "good cop" in a good cop/bad cop type scenerio. whereas the republicans are beyond the pale and exist solely as a party who opposes any thing marginally good for the people, to uphold their corporate masters and israel/saudi/uae's wants and needs.

The fact is if facism takes over it will be from the Leftist Woke Corporate Religion.
you're confused my guy....
leftist....
corporate....
leftists are again anti capitalist and damn sure anti corporate.

you're half right, wokeness comes from corporate capitalist democrats and intelligence. it literally has nothing to do with leftism other than it being a corporate virtue signal to try and appeal shitlibs and people who think they are lefties (hint - this is the group who calls themselves progressives within the democratic party).
it's a concerted effort to demonize the actual left by painting them as some fringe group who does absurd things. in the same way the democratic establishment itself calls each other progressive and adopt the language of left leaning dems or flat out leftists. it's controlled opposition to continue pushing people further to the right. and it works, as most right wingers especially, think the DNC/leftism/liberalism are all one in the same.

I do see the irony in the context of recent banning. The tired faux context of private corporation can control what they allow , probably applies here more than in the U.S. based monstrosities that is Twitter, and Fakebook who conveniently receive plenty of government funds.
privately owned capitalist companies ban people from their platform and you cry that leftists are doing it? this literally makes no sense if you knew the difference between liberal and left.

cancel culture = corporate censorship by capitalist institutions. if words still have meaning, by very definition, these corporations are not leftist.

authoritarian capitalism =/= the left, or socialism, or marxism

Cancel Culture is insidious, but it generally is a symptom of corporations without a spine, in conjunction with woke activist on Twitter. Cancel Culture IMO, is anti capitalist it takes no account of profit. If you look at the price of a dr sense book, plenty of profit is made for people who don't believe in Cancel Culture.

If you were able to surgically remove the wokesters from the left I would agree with you that

The left is by design authoritarian, unless it's voluntary, like a commune. I guess that's the problem in a country of 300+million a top down system will inevitably favor, or operate in a way that doesn't favor vast swaths of the population.

In the end people either stand up to Cancel Culture, or it will destroy everyone in time. No one is pure enough.

I agree words have meaning, facism is one of those words that has meaning.

Capitalism is anti-authoriarian, until they get in bed with the government. Then they are truly facist. Like Twitter

Capitalism is the essence of freedom, people freely chose to alienate there labor for an agreed upon price. Customers freely chose who to buy from. Unless you have a monopoly like Twitter.

I'll take the freedom to bust my ass to have more than the losers who populate large swaths of this once great nation. 15$ minimum wage is an insult to the men and women who actually earn the money they make, not vote for it

Commies were using cancel culture a century ago. Thought crimes ring a bell...... They certainly do in China to this day, a classic Authoritarian Communist tactic.

Children are encouraged to turn there parents in, neighbors turned in neighbors. Levrentiy Beria, famously quoted "find me the man, and I will find you the crime." Sounds pretty Authoritarian to me.

Just because a few smart leftist, realize they will be on the chopping block soon enough. They are the exception, not the rule.

I have listened to a few interviews with Slavoj previously. He seems like a decent person. Hell he interviewed Jordan Peterson, definitely a cancellable offense. His opposition to cancel culture is just self preservation. If he's talking to people like that he's not your run of the mill leftist.


How do you justify selling seeds, that's capitalism, shouldn't they be spread among the proletariat.

There are currently 13 Dr. Seuss books on the Amazon top list.

You culture warriors go ahead and keep showing that spineless publisher how much profit is to be made from cancel culture...

Did the GOP apologize to Barney the Dinosaur when they tried to ban him? Or France when the GOP referred to French fries as "freedom fries"? Pretty rich hearing them cry "cancel culture" now.

If you want to have some idea about who or what rules over us - follow the money - follow the ideology - follow the history - then when it starts to look like bad events in history are repeating themselves today - then you know that the masses are not following the money - they are not following the ideology - and have never bothered much about history - or have just been misled all their lives by the institutions of education and media - to believe the history of the victors - rather than the vanquished -
