COVID19 Factors We Should Consider/Current Events

[Jenni]

Access to a safe & legal abortion, up to about 24 weeks, is something I strongly believe in.

You know what I strongly believe in? Not walking in to my friend's place and taking a big ole dump right in the middle of the floor. Not only has Coach's preference for the avoidance of this topic been brought up repeatedly but we weren't even discussing anything close to abortion. Why would you just come in here and squeeze this turd out?

This is a good piece: The Era of '''Democracy''' Must End - by Christopher Cook

Under HumanGovernance 1.0, you were born into a system you did not create. A system that tells you your place. A system that puts your fate in the hands of others. Kings. Queens. Councils. Nobles.

A tiny number of people decide for you, and everyone else, and you are forced to obey.

Under HumanGovernance 2.0, you were born into a system you did not create. A system that claims that you consented to it, even though you clearly did not. A system that puts your fate in the hands of others. Presidents and parliaments. Bureaucrats and operatives. Voting majorities, special interests, and shadowy billionaires.

A million people decide for you, and you are forced to obey.

It’s time for 3.0. It is time for YOU to decide for you.

"0" no hits, you will have to come up with a link.

It is a descriptor for the post WWII political milieu coined by the dissident writer Thomas777. Basically, it is the social and political structure in which anything remotely right wing, n.b., not conservative, has been effectively made verboten, either de jure like in many parts of Europe, or de facto everywhere else. This includes all non-Enlightenment consistent views on nation, culture, religion, the sexes, race, morals, etc.

Ultimately it gave rise to the knee-jerk instinct to label any opposition to the liberal order as either a “Nazi” or “fascist,” whether or not they actually may be so technically notwithstanding.

Moreover, it explains why “conservatives” have been utterly useless in opposing the left for legitimately 80 years.

Wal, why are you so lazy? You haven’t done your homework, you’re not part of the conversation, no one is going to “give you a link” - there’s even a hilarious reddit meme “do you have a source for that” that fits you perfectly. You were referred to a book a few weeks ago, I know, it’s a scary book, but it’s just a book. You didn’t read it, did you? Bad bad book!

You mean this book "Culture of Critique"? I had a quick look at it, like watching paint dry. Theories about Judaism in American culture and antisemitism and stuff like that.

no one is going to “give you a link”

Why not? I do it all the time.

The Boomers.
The advent of television created one of the greatest propaganda moments in history. The Boomers had three sources of information, and a handful of men telling them things through a screen. And they believed it all with absolute certainty. They stood by and let thousands of years of social norms be upturned for access to casual sex, normalized abortion, and "uncensored" visual entertainment. "We're in a revolution, man!" Biggest fucking dupes in the history of the world. They deserve nothing but contempt as a generation. They should be cursed so that all future generations fear to engage in anything that might resemble Boomer behavior.

This is an unfortunately truthful statement; I agree that the boomers will be known in history as "the brainwashed generation".
The brainwashed generation still has its hands on the levers of financial/political power and it still believes with absolute certainty everything it sees on the television.

You are correct that the comparison between communism and fascism might be the best example of this phenomenon; Nazism was a backlash to the horrors of democratic socialism.
The two philosophies exist only in opposition to eachother and as such, any direct comparison attempting to tie them together is fundamentally flawed.

Smokey, please tell me how this is akshually a bad thing and the Ukrainians need to win so they can "turn Moscow gay", as Zelensky is fond of saying.

And their parents were the Swindled Generation.

I think there's plenty of blame to go around. Somebody had to do the brainwashing and swindling. It's super easy to blame them. However, it seems to me, real tragedies are like lock tumblers. One piece after another has to fall into place. It's always multiple pieces. There's a lot of the "Greatest Generation" who had a hand in that tragedy too. And how far back do we trace the current brew of misfortune we find ourselves in? I ask that as an actual question, not to be sarcastic or contrarian. I ask it because if your thesis is correct we have only to wait them out. Yet, I suspect the answer to repairing the damage is not so easy.

Wal is a White boomer Christian. He quotes scripture in this thread. He will take his beliefs to his grave, along with his philosemitism.

You are the idiot if you waste your time arguing with him about these subjects, citing dates, names and events or encouraging him to read evolutionary psychologists' theories about ethnic group-behaviour. It would be like arguing with a fundamental Islamist about his beliefs.

We simply have to wait this out. Until this demographic is gone, Western political debate goes nowhere.

Funny: Sad: Black People Turned Away In Droves As Democrats Require Photo ID To Enter Convention | Babylon Bee

According to reports, black people trying to attend the DNC were turned away in droves as Democrats required photo IDs to enter the convention.

Despite knowing that black people are not capable of obtaining photo IDs, Democrats inexplicably chose to require everyone in attendance to show identification, leaving thousands of black people unable to enter.

"I wanted to come, but everyone knows I can't get an ID," said one black man who was refused entry to the DNC. "You'd think the Democrats would be aware of this fact. This must be some type of big plan to suppress our ability to attend the convention. It's a shame. I was looking forward to being here, but acquiring an official government-issued photo ID isn't something people like me can do. At least that's what I've heard."

Got the vibes of those old North Korean anti capitalist / reality tv propaganda. Where they'd show the evils of people in big houses. Meanwhile. the rotund little man is in his mansion, feasting, while his population hunt rats for food.

"SHEEET, this government is oppressing us. Let's get back to Russia where they'll throw us out a window for wearing a Pink Floyd shirt!"

Freedom & rights are a bullshit illusion in every country. I'll side with the better magician.

I've actually got no issues with people dressing how they want or loving who they want. That's for hypocritical religious people. Catholics who sent their kids off to get diddled. Muslim's who make it legal to marry 9 year olds. Pastors who abuse their position of authority to groom children. Those who doth protest the loudest am I right?

I've been to some hectic parties & gigs in my time. With girls who've done a lot more than show their ankle. A couple of those same women now have Hamas propaganda all over their page. Bending over backwards to support people who, given the chance, would kill them for being who they are. Same vein as the topless gayboy on a horse, who imprisons people for showing too much skin at a party.

Looking at the BS in the West & deciding Russia is a more attractive option would be like moving to Antartica because it was too chilly back home.

It won't be easy, even after they get out of the way and stop destroying everything. Much territory will be lost once a sober analysis of the costs of mass immigration are made. But they could also fail spectacularly before we wait them out. I'm afraid in that case they will burn everything to the ground before surrendering to the multi-polar world order and giving up on the globalist project.

The misfortune probably goes back to the founding. For everything to devolve into civil war so quickly isn't exactly the greatest evidence of rock solid constitutional stability.

And tangentially, it's also really important to remember that they imported a lot of foreigners to fight and win the first civil war. Quite ominous in light of what's happening at the border and on the shores of European nations.

There was such an interesting passage on this generational phenomenon in Blaire Eloc's the Jews:

But the real causes of that alliance between the English and the Jews which is seen in the late seventeenth century, which quickened throughout the eighteenth and became so very marked in the nineteenth century, was the cosmopolitan position of England as the leading commercial State. This it was which led to something like identity between the interests of Israel and the interests of Britain, an identity which has lasted so long that now, when divergence is beginning to appear, it still seems odd and novel to the older generation that there should be any Jewish action which is not favourable to England. They cannot understand what the new indifference to Jewish interests, let alone the new hostility to them, can mean.

Truly, there is nothing new under the sun.
