    What if you take fiat money out of the equation and replace it with decentralized private VOLUNTARY currency?

    Did you not accept my last comment to Yngvi? May I know why?

    I don't think that alters the situation.

    Your comment was not useful. This is not E&P, and I will moderate as I see fit.

I feel like you think the bad ones are the exception to the rule when in fact, my life experience has born out that it is you, the decent one, that is the exception to the rule. I think in order to be a cop in modern society one has to be a certain type of person and that person is not a good person.
    Might be that much regional variance. I know a lot of good cops here. Two counties south they're all assholes.

    I wish I could figure out why.

    Different departments have different cultures. The training officers have a lot to do with this, more so than the Chiefs.

In a slick sheet for wide distribution to LEAs/LEOs.
    I think they keep harping on this "domestic terrorism" threat because they know counter-revolution is the only thing that has any chance in hell at stopping them. They might be trying to get ahead of it because they also know their behavior needs to get a lot worse before they can accomplish all their goals.

    So at what point does the average Joe become less concerned with assuring everyone he is non-violent and harmless, and more concerned with exactly the opposite? When do guys like Mike Glover respond with "tyrants should feel terror" instead of "I'm not a terrorist, I promise"? They saw some sparks of that in 2020/2021, and it alarmed them. So now they launched this offensive to put those who were emboldened back on the defensive. It's all pretty basic, strategically.

    And I also doubt Klaus and George feel the same about fiat money or tiranny. So stop calling me shit I am not please.
    I didn't call you anything. I said you are espousing views that align with theirs on the sovereignty of nations and their borders. I'll be fully transparent and tell you my goal in bringing them up was not to equate you to them because I believe you are firmly in their camp, but hopefully to get you to re-examine what you're thinking because I don't think you are in their camp, but are sounding an awful lot like their talking points in this regard. I don't consider myself "nationalist" or "patriotic" beyond the fact that I live in this country, don't intend to live in any other ones, and have a vested interest in it not falling to pieces. I don't even know the lyrics to the national anthem, nor do I like the song. But I understand why people like to sing it in large groups, and it has nothing to do with the quality of the song.

    Depends on where you come in. If you come on foot over the southern border and are swarthy enough, you wouldn't have to worry about that at all.

    Once you add "free stuff" programs into any kind of society with popular elections, they're not gonna be able to be gotten rid of. It turns into bribing constituents for votes. Alaska's got a big problem with this from that stipend they hand out to everyone up there, it practically becomes the deciding factor of their elections.

    Sorry, Fran, I will not continue having pointless conversations with you.
    Go find somebody else to accuse of racism and explain they need to pay reparations for the sins of Adam.

    All of this has gotten me thinking about "First People's" Day, "indigenous People's" Day etc.
    Next year, I will celebrate either the Denisovans or Homo Erectus, depending on where I am in the world; They must have their land returned to them!
    Thanks to modern technology, we have to tools to find those with the most Denisovan blood; we must compensate them for past wrongs and the continued discrimination they have faced for 100,000 years!

    I also claim my birthright to all African lands and the resources within, because the scientists tell me my ancestors came from Africa no later than 80,000 years ago.
    I am African!


    They are still trying to confiscate the land of Dutch farmers to redistribute to aliens.
    A Dutch mathematician set out to find the net economic cost or benefit aliens have imposed on The Netherlands.
    The conclusion was a cost of 400 billion Euros over 24 years.
    Aliens from regions, such as Africa or the Middle East were much more expensive, regardless of immigration route or education level, according to the study.

    The video/study has been widely suppressed and censored.
    After the press release for the study was released, one of the authors was stripped of his status as an emeritus professor.
    The authors were personally threatened as well.

    It is very difficult to find the study on any of the western web search sites, but it is still available from the Russians.

    "Children were given their own horses at four or five. Soon the boys were expected to learn tricks, which included picking up objects on the ground at a gallop. The young rider would start with light objects and move to progressively heavier objects until finally, without assistance and at a full gallop, he could pick up a man"

    This is just a piece from "Empire of the Summer Moon" I though was funny.
    Apparently the Comanches had their own version of Starting Strength!

    Italy is not a "community" or a "family". I've met like 100 people, over 60 million. And I've lived in a dozen different towns. And most other people here could not give a shit about me. They definetely didn't when they were bossing me around telling me to wear a mask or show a Nazipass. They only care about those they believe have power over their lives.
    Italy became a "nation" in 1861 when the royal family in Piemonte was going broke and needed land and resources, and with the help of banks (Rothschilds I believe), they financed a brutal war against the richer southern monarchy, raiding, killing and raping with the excuse of biological inferiority. And the South paid those debts for a long time. But I guess it was their own fault, right?
    This is a big difference in the ideas of nation that you guys have here. The anglos mostly have a clear national boundary, like an island or a continent. It is hard to talk about nations in the same way in Europe, because up until less than 200 years ago, the European continent was divided into a bunch of fiefdoms constantly at war with one another. The major unifications in the late 1800s were mostly fairly violent and entailed the imposition of fake languages on people who never spoke the new standard.
