Lewis Lapham is right on. If we can just recognize fear and understand it instead of judging we can fix this.
And it's marketed in very sophisticated ways through social media. This article explains how it works.
I agree. There is individual fear, and collective fear. Individuals in America have stressful lives and poor parenting for the majority. Individual fears that hold people back include fear of death, fear of failure, fear of inadequacy (not being good enough). Mass fear includes fear of authority, fear of pandemics, fear of being taken over as a country. Fear can be dealt with by acknowledging and facing the fear with nonresistance. Still, fears are often not recognized because they are not on a conscious level. I do believe that meditation, psychedelic therapy, and transpersonal therapy can uncover subconscious fears and be released from their power.
State-sponsered fear is not unique to the US. Capitalism and communism both generate fear, but in the US, where capitalism has run amok, it is more subtle. US citizens tend to believe that they live in a democracy, yet there has been no progress in the 1 percenters sharing resources with the middle class and poor. Individuals have less rights to express their views because the powers at be that transcend political parties control the agenda of the media and the government. Through TV and other newspapers, citizens are programmed to live their lives in a controlled state of mind. The most pertinent of issues do not make the headlines. I could elaborate more, but just note that societal fear is a response to the denigration of individual rights, where the average citizen thinks that nothing they do or say will be acknowledged or change anything.

Cops' "Civil Forfeiture" grabs more than all robberies combined.
American police can take all assets (even houses) from anyone they SUSPECT. The person does not even have to be accused, let alone charged or convicted.
Cops 4.8 billion vs Robbers 3.4 billion at last count.
The assets are either kept by the police or liquidated and shared with other government operators. A difficult court battle is required to get the assets back to their rightful owners even if they have committed no crime at all.

can the USA be fixed?
can the USA be fixed?
in England we grew up loving American cowboy movies and the hero was always the same: quiet, cool and strong. to an outsider it seems this guy is dead and the cunt that owns the town and is always looking for more is the new America
Yes, if people like the ones at Emmanuel AME Church in Charleston become leaders.
there has been so much more killing since then and as beautiful as this inspiration is, its hard to imagine there is enough love anywhere to stop the mass murder that is part of regular life now
Nasa is the best ambassador the US has, if they took 1/3 of the military budget and put into space travel the US would be back like Jordan.
Space travel for what? Branson is going to operate consumer flights, but how many times can billionaires fly to ISS before they get bored? Not many people can afford $150k for a short vacation.
tourism will always remain in the back seat. the commercialization of space has been about serving the planet as a whole with communications, its brought up the un-cabled world just like mobile phones have brought up the last mile. there is huge potential in energy production and distribution coming next.
space travel for discovery, learning and inspiration. the world could really use a moment of peaceful triumph.
Branson has sold tickets for twenty years without delivering a ride not sure how he is relevant to anything here.
Elon Musk estimates 5-10 years to get to Mars. At present the cost is $1 Billion per ton, so it'd need to be 1/1000th of the cost, apparently. The ship will also need to be reusable.
Traveling Mars is also not a point and shoot mission. You have to coordinate launches with the alignment of the planets' orbits to travel the shortest distance and not fly past the sun. This also requires a stay on Mars as you wait for safe realignment after landing. Current technology estimates a 21 month round-trip given a ~3 month stay on Mars. Money is not the biggest hurdle.
go open source, add new states, virtual citizenship and most of all healthy competition with other nations not war
Competition in what? Our largest industries are healthcare and pharma. Getting Americans to change is a huge hurdle.
competition for new citizens, with decreasing population the game is going to change and the usa at least remembers how to play
No, this country is cursed, theres a lot of bad karma waiting.

outlaw political donations there's plenty of free coverage to get the pitches across anyway.
Peter Breggin. MD, former psychiatrist who took on the APA when profit motive became greater than the hypocratic oath doctors take to "first, do no harm", became the conscience of Psychiatry. Later in life he has runs a radio show exposing those persons involved in the Globalization Movement that is quickly eroding the common person's civil rights and creating barriers to those who choose to leave a work culture where your boss becomes your God and if you are lucky, you may receive paltry insurance and limited sick leave....the US is a nation of brainwashed drones who.probably have never had an original thought in their lifetime.
Dr Breggin advises us little people to organize and speak up....be a patriot....but look who we are up against....
Any lbs out there know of a better place to live where meager pensions are paid to elders who have to live on $2k a month and paid in Social Security taxes since they began work over 30 years agos. Thanks to Ronald Reagan and others like him repealed the formation of a self sustaining retirement system that President Clinton wanted.....
This is the tip of a gigantic iceburg to which any organized public outcry can be crushed by the Patriot Act.
Not to mention US top organizations, including the military, continue funding the weaponization of a once benign bat virus...
Population control has begun....freedom of speech has been compromised by media spin doctors, and a true Republic has turned communist......these globalists like Bill Gates, President Biden, George Soros, and anonymous billionaires are acting against law and liberty to defund any classes of us with little money, and spin doctor the media to brainwash us to believe we are having racial tension; what really is happening is class warfare.
Why do billionaires want just their money but the commoners money too? How much is enough to live on?
I get mad and feel compelled to stop the US from becoming part of the Communist Party of China.
Rather than dwell on frustration, I will smoke some kush mints so I can even sleep!

The population grew to large. The citizen / individual is now a defunct concept. Group politics prevail. Democracy is dead.
The country is too big to properly manage. To many different rules per state. The poverty and opioid epidemic is absolutely shocking beyond belief. Equality issues. Mad presidents and to many super rich families. Now
Let’s all head on down to Walmart to keep that cycle continued 😁👍

This guy never existed it was all hollywood fiction,now they are more likely to show America defeating the universe and saving humanity as they struggle to try and persuade everybody they are still the good guys and not a bunch of screaming mad nazi thieves going about the planet threatening other nations and causing wars and misery where ever they go.
americas greatness came from common values attracting immigration from around the planet. make that again and yall have a chance
Depends who you blow, not who you know.
This was built on reclaimed swamp with horse and cart.
A year to two years before power tools were invented.
It was up for 6 months before most of the structures were dismantled or destroyed, same for all the fairs.
There have been many and all share beautiful architecture.
The London exposition was at Crystal Palace where the building was erected in 6 months apparently!!

did world war 2 merely stall an inevitable trend of fascism?
When I 1st read this topic I thought it was silly but now Im reading it the New York Times
And what does that tell you about the New York Times? That it's lying about Trump? Or is it just trying to mislead its readers by implying stuff that it has no evidence of... Do the same examination of other rumor-spreading fake news organizations and make your own determination, folks. See which ones allow readers to comment on their "stories" and articles. See which ones never present both sides of an argument. Decide which ones can be relied upon for actual news (all of it) and which ones actually suppress news.
There is no news that can be relied upon this is why the reader needs to take in multiple sources and viewpoints.
i think its a really mega trend. fascism was a reaction to kingdoms turning into modern nations. this time populism is a result of modern nations turning into global pieces.
Yes and there's the industrial revolution and digital revolutions as waves underneath these.
Even Eisenhower, the General who defeated fascism saw what would happen. He became the President of the US and devoted his farewell speech to a warning of the future he correctly saw.
Forget Ike, Benjamin Franklin saw what would happen after helping write the constitution. He saw it as a temporary document that would require re-writing.
"it is likely to be well administered for a course of years, and can only end in Despotism"
As if it to prove the words they have been suppressed since he wrote them.

Its Franklin's Final Speach On The Constitution. What a guy, should be an inspiration for every bigga.
Only Franklin never said that the Constitution would "require" re-writing (or anything else, for that matter). Nor did he even imply that it was "temporary". His comment only reflected the fact that this was a unique, first-ever document of its type and he wasn't sure that it wouldn't eventually end in despotism due to corruption. None of the framers "knew" what the future would bring, only that what they had made was the most perfect constitution ever made. Not "perfect" (although it may be), just "close to perfect".
World War I was a fascist nightmare in the United States with Wilson and his cronies using it to attack all of their domestic enemies: African Americans, organized labor and immigrants. It was all documented by the media and no one cared. Helped us get where we are today as much as anything.
That's what happened in 2016, and it's a good beginning. More people are finding out that they've been lied to, and the liars are in full panic mode at this point.
WW2 was awful for Jews etc. However it turned out quite handy for the Zionists since the Jews flocked to Israel after the war!
Whereas, before the war the Zionists where struggling for citizens!
I've nothing against anyone, just saying!

First thing to do is find out what "fascism" is. Most people are clueless about that. One excellent example of a fascist organization is Antifa (what an ironic name). Their goal is to shut down opposing ideas by force, and that's what fascist governments do (again, look up the word in the fucking dictionary). If you're going to accuse someone of being fascist, you need to show examples of fascist behavior. Guess who I'm vaguely referring to here...
Oxford Reference definition:
"An authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization.
The term Fascism was first used of the totalitarian right-wing nationalist regime of Mussolini in Italy (1922–43), and the regimes of the Nazis in Germany and Franco in Spain were also Fascist. Fascism tends to include a belief in the supremacy of one national or ethnic group, a contempt for democracy, an insistence on obedience to a powerful leader, and a strong demagogic approach."

Some people wouldn’t know Communism if it locked them down in their homes, forced them to wear a mask and coerced them into an experimental medical procedure
…
ok throw in a little racism and hate where the communist idealism and naivete is and you're there.
Show your working (prove it)
Btw Fascism was defeated in UK and in WWII it was defeated in Italy along with National Socialism in Germany. There is nothing Fascist about our world. The Communists and Capitalists (same thing) won WWII and they are in control.

…
Oh dear, what a snowflake you are. The fact remains, nobody here has a clue about what Fascism is. This is how the Communists are winning, duh
Here is another definition of fascism, this one from Merriam-Webster dictionary.
"1) A political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.
2) a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control."
The antidote to Fascism is Democracy.

Democracy, LMAO. If you control the media, you can get the public to vote anyway you like. What was democratic about the Iraq War, or the bombing of Syria?
There are many parallels between the definitions. I'll break them down for you - national/racial-centric; autocratic; dictatorial; anti-democratic; demagogic.
Precisely. Democracy in the UK is flawed, at best for sure. Fascists know the first stage of seizing control of a nation is to take control of its media.
I'm unsure what you're trying to achieve on here - is it to rehabilitate the image of Fascism?
Perhaps you could explain to us what Fascism is.

I’ve already provided a link to a resource where anyone can learn what it is. I’m still learning myself. Please show me which Fascists have taken control of the media. (Don’t waste your time, because they haven’t)
How am I going to learn about a complex political/cultural/social ideology and its historical/contemporary implications through a series of disembodied quotes and sexed-up photos of famous fascists?
Grow up, stop trolling & read some fucking books.
Grow up, stop trolling & read some fucking books.
You misunderstand Camber - you're looking for a fight! I agreed with you, UK democracy is lacking. Historically, fascists took control of the media, to take control of a nation - see Germany, Italy & Spain.
I’m not looking for a fight at all. It seems like you don’t know who controls the media. In 1933 all Germany did was to take back control of the media, from the thieves who stole it.
The Jews? Come on man, you're better that, I'm sure of it. Stop getting stoned & researching pro-fascist groups - not a good combo. Get stoned & listen to Forever Changes!
"Everything I've seen needs rearranging,
And for anyone who thinks it's strange,
Then you should be the first to want to make this change,
And for everyone who thinks that life is just a game,
Do you like the part you're playing?"

You smokers are beyond retarded. We even tell you what we're doing and still you defend us. Stupid goyim deserve everything you get
I'm not a Fascist, I'm Ashkenazi as you already know. However, to answer your question: they're not, Liberals are far more angry and reactionary. The reason being, they are double thinking, mental gymnasts who exist in a constant state of cognitive dissonance. You're just stupid, is all
You sound pretty angry. Memes peppered with exasperated insults. It must be wonderful to have worked everything out, and very frustrating that everyone can't join the dots and see the world as you do. I think I'd be pretty angry too. A raging omnipotent deity.
You're not supposed to work it out. Your opinion of me is irrelevant. You can't refute facts with opinions. Just about every Ashkenazi I know, has known this since childhood, apart from me who only found out relatively recently (I can't explain that anomaly) Come on, Twigs, you have the Internet. Btw, we own Google. You should brush up on the Talmud, LMAO. You can downvote this too, if it makes you feel better.
You now know that the MSM, Big Tech, Big Pharma and The Federal Reserve (to name a few) are not controlled by Fascists. I can research Fascism and listen to Forever Changes. If you don’t know what Fascism is, cool! But please stop pretending that you do. Have you read the Talmud? Did you know that this is Talmudic, are you even aware of it?
I'd suggest you can't be researching Fascism with any integrity. You're in complete denial of the basic definition of it.
Fascism is a pretty simple concept that a homogeneous group of people are stronger than the Communist alternative. Sit the fuck down, imbecile
And suppose I don't want to sit down and pledge allegiance to your homogenous group? What then?
Another definition? How many are there, I wonder. Words can mean whatever people want them to mean, can they? No, they can’t.
This thread is hilarious. Everyone thinks they know what Fascism is. Someone even thinks Antifa are Fascists. Clueless
…
Thomas Sewell. Does this mean everyone else’s definition of Fascism is correct? Btw anyone can be a National Socialist, it’s organic
Yeah, that was me. What's clueless is calling Conservatives fascist. Young heads full of mush lapping up propaganda from old Marxist professors and thinking it's the wisest shit since Moses are the ones fucking up the planet at the moment...
You seem to be really struggling with words Camber, so here's a definition of Communism for you: "The belief in a society without different social classes in which the methods of production are owned and controlled by all its members, and everyone works as much as they can and receives what they need, or a social and political system based on this belief." From Cambridge Dictionary.
LOL, they also changed the dictionary definition of 'vaccine' Do some more copying of definitions, instead of examining who the Communists are and what they've been doing, smdh 🙄
Dictionaries are a useful place to start, when a bunch of flailing stoners are chucking around words like 'fascist' and 'communist'.
I’m not struggling with words at all. I’m just not doing a ‘cut and paste’ and expecting other people to accept it. There’s a link above to a Fascism group on Gab. That’s the place to learn about Fascism. If you think they’re wrong, go and tell them.
twigs, you are a complete idiot 🤣 Why don't you read a book,
Churchill, Hitler, and "The Unnecessary War"
it's even on Amazon. Btw, I'm Ashkenazi and I learned about this over 20 years ago, so rejected my own people because of their evil. Bruno Baum was a distant relative of the wife and he told the truth. You are retarded. Smoke some more weed, you fool 🤣

I'm not a complete idiot - just anti-fascist to my last breath.
That Gab group has a lot of axes to grind, and seems aimed at recruiting teenagers. There are definite kernels of truth in the things you proclaim - always space to reexamine and reassess WW2. I'm sure lots of things taken for granted are mistaken - there's always room for further investigation and analysis. Following this poisonous exchange last summer, for the second, or third time in my life - went down a deep rabbit hole of holocaust investigation, reacquainting myself with the revisionist argument - it's ugly, and often end up feeling I'm listening or reading, not the work of historians, but politicians - who have a vested interest in revising our understanding of the Holocaust to further political objectives. But agree, that there are lots of questions - lots of things to think about.
However, it's the self-righteousness, the certitude, the venom, the under/overtones of racism, the complete denial of any racism that marks you lot (homogenous group) out as obnoxious, foolish, deluded, angry zealots (you won't like that word).

I just meant to say that I believe your fascination with fascist revisionism is an internet concocted, social media thing - and it doesn't deserve to be engaged with seriously.
The historic Fascist governments of the world are responsible for the murder of millions - Jews, Roma, Slavs, communists, socialists, Africans, artists, queer folk, people with disabilities, I could go on.
The latter day followers of Fascism are responsible for thousands of violent street attacks & murders.
Anyone who would seek to sanitise Fascism as some sort of benevolent universal human law (as your Snap-chat link proclaims), or present Fascism as misunderstood and misrepresented - is deserving of ridicule, at the very least.
I'm an exponent of the European antifa approach to Fascism. Fascism is a violent ideology. And Fascists only understand violence, and do not deserve to be engaged with intellectually.

Go to the group I posted above and post that shite, this isn’t the place for it. You are so ridiculously misinformed it actually hurts my head.
I've had a look at your group. It's sinister, revisionist, conspiratorial, paranoid. Fascist.
There is so much documentary evidence for the crimes I described above - you'd have to be a seriously blinkered "researcher" to ignore/deny.
There is so much documentary evidence for the crimes I described above - you'd have to be a seriously blinkered "researcher" to ignore/deny.
That group is...
Sinister - the memes reek of propaganda.
Revisionist - almost every accepted historical fact of the fascist governments of Mussolini & Hitler are attempted to be revised or denied - it seems to take the extreme position of completely denying the Holocaust, presenting it as a benevolent attempt to resettle the Jews of Europe.
Conspiratorial - it seems this group is arguing that the reason for the 'popular' conceptions of WW2 were a smoke-screen for a Zionist plot to establish the state of Israel and infiltrate and take over the world (ironically, this conspiracy predates WW2, and was a theory that was peddled by the Nazis, helping them to win power.)
Paranoid - Everything is seen through this lens of the "great Zionist conspiracy", so whether it's the Russian invasion of Ukraine, or the Covid-19 pandemic, or climate change - it all points to the terrifying spectre of Zionism.
Fascist - it's important to remember that this group is aiming itself at real-world political influence, despite it initially seeming to be a historical forum for discussion of the history of fascism. It aims to convert, to rehabilitate, to exhume Fascist ideals- including abhorrent concepts like 'homogenous groups' (whilst denying any racism).
Discuss.

Racism, ROFL, we destroyed your societies with that word. Racially homogeneous societies are more successful, which is why we won't allow you to have them. Every other country will have them, apart from you. See what we did to you? We brainwashed you into embracing your own genocide and we don't care how long it takes. Have a look at Savile Town UK. All of the UK will be the same, fool
hahaha you absolute fool. Do you or do you not know who Bruno Baum is? Racism, another one of our buzzwords that we have conditioned you to fear being called. Have you not heard of Loxism? Loxism is the only real racism. Every nation prefers their own people to outsiders, except White people who are currently committing cultural genocide because they watch our tv stations. We are literally destroying Europe right under your noses. "Islam is Israel's broom, you will have no place to run" Don't say you didn't know, because now you do know 😉
I think BrunoBaum might be Camber's new account - I'd be surprised if there is more than 1 swivel-eyed, fascist stoner in Albion. It is interesting to keep prodding you though, because you're slowly revealing how nasty you really are. Remember this began as a straightforward attempt to explain that Fascism is misunderstood, and had nothing to do with antisemitism. The irony that you're increasingly throwing around pejorative words such as "loxism", "judenpresse" "goyim" - is clearly lost on you.
My wife buys on LB, she uses RSO. I spent £1000s here. Even if I was a sock puppet, the facts still remain the same: You are a stupid goyim, we own you
Bullshit. If you think you can refute them, go in there and do it. You won’t because you can’t, you brainwashed muppet. I’ve had about 20 notifications over the last few days, all from you, ya freak. Did you actually just post a BBC documentary, are you on LSD? When you’re eating maggots in your pod, subject to the Chinese social credit score and only able to spend your allocated CBDC, just remember it was the Fascists who tried to stop them. Stupid goyim
They won't go in there and refute shit, because they can't. All they've got is what the judenpresse has programmed them to parrot. You're wasting your time with these fucktards, Camber, move on
You knuckle-dragging, racist thugs don't deserve any consideration. Learn how to read, think and discuss.
Ooh, name calling. Triggered, much. I'm not a thug, btw, unless you can demonstrate otherwise. You're not much of a man if you can't take a few insults thrown in with the facts. Ashkenazi hate you because you destroyed our 2nd Temple. We will now destroy you and rebuild it. I'm perfectly capable of thinking and discussing. I have facts on my side. You have tv programmes that we made for you. We control the CFR, The Military Industrial Complex. Just watch as more White men die in our wars. Hilter didn't want war or to kill Anglo Saxons. The Angles were a Germanic tribe, he thought the Englishman's blood far too valuable to be spilled. Here I am literally laying it all out for you and still you kvetch and squirm. It's called cognitive dissonance and we did it to you, fool. Don't say ya didn't know...
The whole I/we thing again - perhaps save the smoke until after you've tried to explain the modern history of the West?
And don't invoke Saxons and Englishmen - England is a construct, a fake country invented for the marketing of tobacco and sugar.
The soul of Albion was torn apart by 1,000 years of invasion from the Romans through to the Normans - but these are cultural, not racial invasions - Catholic, blood-thirsty, power-trippers that you seem so desperate to align yourself with.
Race is a cultural construct - every human alive is descended from around 10-20k humans in Africa. Africa is the motherland.
You're espousing 19th Century ideas, retarded, industrial, paranoid dreams, from a time when people's brains were coated with lead.
Me, I prefer 1st century ideas when I want some distance from the modern world - head to the Moors mate, find your local Druwids.

You, right now: "look at me and how much history I've absorbed in college" LMAO, ya still don't know what Fascism is. Again, icymi "we are Ashkenazi and we own you"
Much like you, I'm a social media autodidact - and have learnt much from the Internet.
I don't believe the simplistic, monolithic idea that one race owns another, I think you'll find, when you grow up, if you choose to abandon your moronic certitude - that the world is a complex place, and simplistic stories don't provide answers - as comforting as they can be.

I'm sorry for attempting to talk to you reasonably. It's telling that you're so triggered into rage by me pointing to a dictionary definition & documentary evidence from the war.
I just don't think Little Biggy should be a platform for Fascist links & memes. And I will continue to challenge you if you continue posting this poisonous content.
I attempted to appeal to your better nature, in the hope you were capable of intelligent thought/discussion. But you're clearly lost in this nasty maggot hole of paranoid imaginings.
I posted you a link to one of the great documentaries on the Second World War, made for ITV - it took decades to make, was an international effort, and is made up of interviews from people who were involved and witnessed the war, from many different countries.
You've responded with a film that amounts to a 2 hour political tirade, that contains not one interview, let alone an interview from anyone who was a part of 1939-45. Just a narrator telling you exactly what to think. And you want to talk about brainwashing?
If you want to dismiss The World at War series outright, because you've decided everything on mainstream television is "lies" - it is most certainly your loss. You have a Medieval mindset, obsessed with belief. (Belief is the death of intelligence, Robert Anton Wilson). You've only served to highlight how small-minded, cowardly and reactionary your mindset is - masquerading as a fearless truth-seeker.
Think for yourself. Take each programme on its own merits.
Don't listen to Love - they aren't for you.
Listen to Hate like Skrewdriver.

You are so full of shit, I can smell it from here. World at War ROFL. What a cunt you are, accusing people of being triggered while you post absolute bollocks. "Truth is hate to those who hate the truth" General Patton knew because he was there, he didn't watch tv. Did you take one or more of our jabs? Wanker 🤣
You are pretty triggered though, right? Almost like you have a vested interest in this shite. Butt-hurt fascists. 🤣
I'm not a Fascist, I'm Ashkenazi. You're still full of shit. You don't know anything about Fascism or Communism or WWII. You are a clueless fucktard and the best you've got is assuming that I'm triggered. Keep downvoting, you're still wrong. We control more than 90% of broadcasting and have done for decades, which is why you think like you do. We have installed 1000s of jihadists in your countries and we will arm them. We have always controlled Islam. The same thing will happen as did to Germany 1945-1953, we removed millions from the gene pool.
You seem fairly triggered into rage by my replies - you're debating less, and vomiting stream-of-consciousness bile from the social media posts you've been lapping up for years. I'm sorry I don't entirely agree with your world-view, but surely, as you claim that 90% of the broadcast media spreads misinformation, you might have a little sympathy / empathy / patience for the 90% of humanity that haven't started feeding on the same sources that you have?
Germany isn't responsible for WWII. Fascism is not a violent ideology. Do you even know who Bruno Baum is? How about Paul Rassinier? Stop taking drugs, fool. How many Fascists have you engaged with, intellectually? If this thread is indicative of your intellectual prowess, I would guess at zero
I'm certainly not engaging with this Fascist intellectually. I feel like I'm being shouted at by street preachers.
Note - I was never a Fascist, but definitely positioned myself on the Right as a youngster - I had Fascist friends many years ago, who didn't just shout insults at me. We used to talk.

I haven't only insulted you, I've also given you some valuable information that may just keep you alive. I turned my back on my own people and I've been sounding the alarm for White people since 2002. You will either cry because you've been insulted or you will wake up. Talking won't save you. Just about everything you have posted is exactly what we conditioned you to think. You have been brainwashed. We are Masters of Manipulation. Every single time, is not a trope.
I'm really confused by this mixing up of I/we. I thought it was just the Left who were caught up on pronouns?
Still very confused at how I/we (the other people on Little Biggy) are supposed to react to your posts (beyond having a look at the Gab Fascism group) - is there a specific U.K. political party that you're advocating / campaigning for? What should I/we do?

The reason I came on here is because you posted this
"The Jews? Come on man, you're better that," and I say "yes" It's literally all over the web, stupid goyim.

You poked your head up on here to defend the righteousness of Kristallnacht and the Nazi pogroms?
I poked my head up on here because you defend those who want you and yours dead. The jihadists have already been installed up and down the UK in the 1000s. All they need are weapons and it's game over. It's happening right under your nose and the irony is you're funding the whole thing. When I see stupidity, I like to challenge it. We used the BBC in 1944 and we used the BBC to get the jabs into the arms of as many people as possible. "Atrocity propaganda is how we won this war" look it up. We literally brainwashed you. "Islam is Israel's broom. You will have no place to run" You can pretend as much as you want, but you know I'm right (if you don't have Narcissistic Personality Disorder) 😱
"When I see stupidity, I like to challenge it." Right on! That's why I'm still here talking to you!
Have you seen the film 'Four Lions' - there's a character, Barry, who's based on a British National Party member who wanted to learn more about the enemy, so he visited his local mosque, and accidentally converted himself to fundamentalist Islam.
The uncomfortable truth is, that the Zionists, the Islamists & Fascists - have an awful lot in common - principally, violence & a Medieval belief in the supremacy of their Belief System. Tim McVeigh, the Oklahoma bomber - stated, whilst in prison, that it was the Muslim terrorists who he had the most common ground with.
I have a lot in common with you - I too, am anti-Zionist & anti-political Islam too. But any common ground has been burned in the hatred of your paranoid hysteria.
Your utter hatred of anything representing a challenge, or an attempt to debate is obvious. It surely will be very difficult for you to admit this, but I sincerely hope that you will do one day.
There's only one answer - you're a fundamentalist, you're brain-washed - and you will violently attack anyone who challenges your narrow view of reality - just like the people you claim to stand against.

"What should I/we do?" Do what you like, it's too late for Europe. The Ashkenazi have fucked you up. All because we programmed you to hate Fascism and conflate it with Communism. It's official, the goyim are fucking stupid. Btw, Loxism is very real
It's like trying to have a discussion with a disintegrating chat-bot.
I'd suggest that it's too late for you. Doom-sayers have been heralding the end of Europe for centuries.
The only people who've come close to destroying it are paranoid Fascist war-mongers.

Wrong again. Read Harold Rosenthal's book. It's all there and it's irrefutable. You won't win this debate, you can't because the facts aren't on your side. It's almost as though you don't have the Internet. Serious question: are you jabbed?
Are you talking about the booklet 'The Hidden Tyranny' - a written account of an interview Rosenthal supposedly gave?
It seems like it's a complete fabrication, it's very easy to refute!
“That interview never took place. Walter White operated free and loose on some subjects, like this one. He disappeared once for a while. I personally sent men searching for him. He showed up claiming the JDL [Jewish Defense League] kidnapped him and dumped him at the Mexican border... That [Rosenthal] interview is bogus. There is plenty of valid material to use against the Jews.” Tom Metzger, founder of White Aryan Resistance and former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, stated on the Resist website in 2010.
It's not much of a debate, sadly. Every good point I've made, you've either ignored, laughed at, called me stupid, brain-washed. At best, you've told me to watch some interview, or read a link, or a quote-meme - all of which I've done, in good faith.
That you, presumably with a straight-face, switched from a discussion about the Fascist governments of the 1930s & 40s - to a discussion about Covid-19 pandemic vaccines in the same breath, highlights that you're squirming, and desperate to shut me up / shut me down.
Which version of the Internet are you using? There's a lot of information out there - the stuff you disagree with isn't necessarily wrong. It's healthy to be exposed to alternative views - it provides contrast and definition, and is essential for the pursuit of truth.

You should take a look at it - they advise wannabe Fascists not to engage in petty insults, be considerate and intelligent, and spread the One True Faith.
A literary device, I see. It made it sound like you were having some sort of dope-meltdown.

Americans are happy to devote decades of their lives to supporting an overseas war machine as they gobble up jingoistic bullshit in their media.
They are taxed and regulated as mush as socialist countries but get little benefits in return, all the while being spied on to a standard that would make the Gestapo proud.
They are fine with all of this damage to their liberty as long as they keep their guns, is this just some kind of penis fixation?

I don't expect many to understand, and it's not something you can relate to unless you've walked a similar path,but... during my traveling work days, I experienced more than once the need to carry a firearm.
permitted to carry concealed, allowed me the chance to go back home and see my family again.
you are entitled free speech and your freedom of views, just remember, the crime or bad folks don't follow ANY rules and could care less about your politics. take away the good man's right to protect himself, and become their next target, as security is just a word.
(understand that police have NO obigation to protect you or your family, they strictly uphold the law...)

You make a fine point but the statistics don’t lie. A developed country shouldn’t be 4th on a list with these others.

El Salvador (61.7)
Honduras (41.0)
Venezuela (49.9)
United States Virgin Islands (49.3 [2012 data])
Jamaica (56.4)

Because freedom is only delivered through the end of a gun (unfortunately)
And if you don’t have a gun someone with a gun will take your freedom away
The only part of history you can guarantee is true freedom comes at the end of a sword/gun

This is it, no tyrannical regime, dictator, kings or queens taking the piss were ever overthrown through mediation and peaceful actions, fire meets fire literally.
i don't think the american colonies outgunned england and i'm sure that's not how it went down in india or in the 1990s in eastern europe.
freedom is obtained through will and persistence like a lot of things around this earth.

I'll go with the penis fixation. I don't own a gun - don't want one - guns are for killing. It's the second amendment in the American Bible, er, "Bill of Rights". Funny thing is that the pro-life people are usually pro-gun. Just doesn't make sense.
Guns do not kill... the person using it KILLS... I use them to kill clay pigeons. and just imagine it's someone i hate. lol ;)
By that reasoning the murder rate in the likes of El Salvador, Honduras etc. is purely down to the types of people that live there and not to the availability of guns. Obviously incorrect. You need someone willing to kill AND a gun to shoot someone dead.
I am not black but I am a 6'5' 300+ pound white mail. when I get out of my car I have yet seen my public servent have his on his gun when he see's me. I have never been shot , but I have been scared you never know when They might get scared and shoot. I am always as helpful and curtice I can makke cause I want to live and pissing of armed cops is not a healthy way to live. When they start treating you like shit , remember it will you a lot more then it will him.
Not saying you're fat but it's interesting that fat white dudes are credible rappers and also eyed by the police like black dudes.
No one can grant anyone rights, unless we agree that they can. Plenty folks will tell you you're not free unless unless always unless. You are free if you say you are. And you're not if you're not (royal you, not you you, but yes, also you 😜). You can be in a prison cell and be totally free. You can be a rich fat white cunt with acres of land and be completely imprisoned. It's in the mind. Sure, there may well be folks who contest your freedom, tell you you're not free, tell you you must this and you mustn't that if you want your "rights" intact. Nonsense. There, that's my two penny's (or cents, since the topic started in the US) spent and I'm skint for the night.
They didn’t. Our rights are God given and they are inalienable. The Bill of Rights protects them, or at least that’s how it’s supposed to work.
I’m not trying to start something here but I really want to understand how these rights are God given. Can you explain?
That’s ok. We are born free and we are born with certain God given rights, which are inalienable. This is just the way it is, like having a right to clean drinking water. We have the right to protect ourselves and our property. In the UK we still have the right to bear arms, but it has been hidden from us using legislation and obfuscation. Most people don’t understand that they are supposed to be free, so they put up with buffoons and paedo Freemasons dictating what they can and can’t do. This is one of the reasons why we pay income tax, which is unlawful but not illegal. The law is simple: No loss, no harm, no injury, no fraud.
Straw man stuff really opened my mind a good decade ago. The financial system is a good place to begin ones journey back into realising one was always free and one just didn't know it. Look at me, getting all queenly with the "ones". Did you say freemasons? 😉
Thanks for the response Camber I appreciate it but I’m still struggling with the God given bit. It’s not as if Moses came down from the mountain with a commandment saying Americans can have AR15s. I don’t mean to sound flippant I just don’t understand it
That’s ok, you’re not coming across as flippant.
“God given” is simply a term. It applies to atheists as well. Try to understand what it means to be born a free man. Eg: Monetisation of another man’s labour, without his consent, is slavery and it is unlawful. So why do we pay income tax? Did you consent to this?
The Founding Fathers were Christians, hence ‘God given’ Replace ‘God given’ with ‘pre-existing’

It was a rural place and hunting was very common. If you start from that perspective and then think of the government coming in and taking the guns away you start to understand.
Not being American but my take on it is simply history, god made men Samuel Colt made all men equal… You can hunt so can provide for yourself and your family, you can defend yourself and your family from threats, and I guess Homer said it best with ‘If You Don't Have A Gun, The King Of England Can Just Walk In Here And Shove You Around’ And for Americans it was true, it’s the reason they were free, the gun. I think the vast majority of people would agree if there were NO guns then the world would be a better place, BUT if bad guys, police, army have guns and you don’t then you’re simply powerless to anyones will. So if they have guns yeah I also want a gun.
I could be wrong but I’m sure the law to carry guns came into action as to kill Indians as white man was expanding in America.?
1. The Wild West is recent history in a young nation and was really really wild. Ditto the Civil War.
2. Hollywood is real. The good guy always shoots the bad guy. (With armed private citizens this is hardly ever the outcome, but who cares about reality?)
3. A lot of yanks are cunts?

The right to bear arms is to shoot the British, not the Indians. The theory is if everyone has guns, the government can't be oppressive and tyrannical. In practice, however, you just end up with gut-shot schoolkids. Guns are fun though tbf
They need their guns lots of wild animals running about on two legs out their nuts on prescription drugs with guns.
Vicious circle where the usual suspects make lots of cash from social chaos and scaring the population.

It’s a national identity! They feel they wouldn’t be Americans without the ability to kill somebody instantly.
It might be useful to differentiate the American people and American foreign policy. It seems you have conflated the two, whereas looking at the American people and domestic policy might yield better results. Guns are completely illegal in China and as we all know, China is one of the most liberated places to live on the planet! The second amendment in the US was created to provide a constitutional check on congressional power was as an auxiliary right, supporting the natural rights of self-defense and resistance to oppression. My family live in the USA and right now, gun ownership is anything from a penis fixation, it's security and peace of mind. I would rather get shot than stabbed any day of the week. Knife crime is equally as concerning in my book.
I'm hoping that you picked up the sarcasm in my 'China is liberated' comment. Reading it back, it doesn't come across too clearly.
hear ya my friend. thought i was doing the same ;) with your comment. i read it both ways (with/without sarcasm) I wouldn't criticise either. just own my private thoughts lol. stay as safe as this "Pandemic" will let you. Gaz
No, the founding fathers recognised the likely leadership America was likely to get would be those psychopaths you identify - a neolib psychopathic war machine at the helm. Without the right to bear arms, the citizens of the US would be unable to defend themselves against these psychos in control. Have you not noticed that the MSM (totally controlled by the same psychos) is relentlessly pushing for "gun control" - can you not see their agenda here? To disarm the citizens of the US would be to disarm all potential opposition to these globalist psychopaths in their pursuit of a NWO, hence the relentless media to demonize gun ownership. Are you are aware that you are statistically more likely to die from an unprovoked knife wound in London than you are to die from an "unprovoked" gun shooting in the US?

Joe Rogan has the brain and personality of a 15-year-old who just smoked their first joint, dude is a stone-cold moron who says he's a liberal who voted for Bernie and then parrots the most insane far-right conspiracies. Rogan is the opposite of the type of people we want in politics.
Personally I don't care much for identity politics. Especially American identity politics which seems twice as reductive as it is here. Most are apathetic about Trump in the UK I think.
He is, however, still living rent free in your head apparently.

It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
And now a new generation is fighting for freedom from a militarized police force that Reagan enabled.
Absolutely true, the vast majority of people spend their entire lives arguing, debating and fighting over bullshit like "left vs right" and they are so caught up in it that they can't see that they aren't fighting any real issues whatsoever, just distracting themselves from the actual underlying problems!
we as a species have no enemies, the government and media are creating problems for people to divide over, because with this constant divide we will never be united enough to bring on a revolution.

That's exactly where leadership is supposed to do it's job, instead of assuaging fears the American leaders used them to get the war machine going.
Great stuff here: "We hardly notice the half-million children quietly dying each year from rotavirus, Bill Gates once observed—the equivalent of four 747s full of children every day."

How To Control Guns
How To Control Guns
To effect gun control leaders already controlling guns simply need to set an example.
Simply replace dumb offensive weapons with intelligent defensive ones.
Attackers can be disabled with sound, electrical impulse (a laser to the eyeball goes a long way), gas, anything but hot lead is relative progress.
A huge industry is waiting once this direction is set and it’s a rare example where a leader can set something so important in motion. A police force equipped with such weapons would not only save lives it would restore confidence, replacing fear with respect.
Like any old technology guns will inevitably become obsolete, outmaneuvered by weapons that save lives. Even in the worst case the result is a technological arms race, with one side committed to protection - an outcome far better than shoot outs and more deaths every day, most often at the hands of those intending to uphold a form of peace.

Guns are not the problem, they never have been. Why not start laying the blame where it belongs, with the people using a gun to kill and injure other people. A gun doesn’t kill or injure anybody unless a human being is pulling the trigger. Of course, the left wants you to believe everything would be flowers and sunshine if we only got rid of the mean, evil guns. You’re right about one thing, control. People are a lot easier to control if they can’t defend themselves. Of course that kind of logic is taboo for the left. Fear mongering and race baiting are the left’s weapons of choice. The left are the biggest racists on the planet. People forget that if not for the right, the civil rights act never would have made it to Johnson’s desk to sign into law. Who was opposed to it, most of the Democrats. There were active members of the KKK in congress and they were Democrats. Am l saying there are no racists on the right. Of course l am not, but the left would have you believe their shit doesn’t stink. It’s just sad that such a large group of people are fooled by their bullshit.
Humans aren't equipped physically or emotionally to comprehend the speed at which a gun can take a life and devastate the lives of *all* those involved.
It's not about left or right. It isn't about racist or not racist. It's about the value of human life and the callous destruction of it.

You are partially correct; Guns are not the problem…..the bullets are. It’s bullets that kill. Let the loons have/keep their guns. Just get rid of the ammo (not easy I know, but spring it on the population in a surprise move and watch the killings drop).
There have been attempts to make guns smarter. It seems they have been stymied by legislators that tried to make them mandatory before they even got on the market. Then the NRA got busy.
Because it's the only reason we still have a democracy. The country's fore fathers knew this. That's why they put it in the constitution. Fuck the living document bullshit. If you think things would be so great without guns, take a look at what's happened in the past. Stalin killed more of his own people than were killed during the Second World War. The only reason he was able to it was by disarming the population first. Same story with China and Cambodia. Chairman Mao loved committing genocide, to the tune of 40 million. Pol Pot did away with 2 million. What is the common denominator? One and all disarmed. If you think things would be so great if we think past guns, instead of looking at what happened when the people were disarmed. You need to look backwards, or better yet, go talk to some of those people. Oh wait, you can't. Dead men, women and children tell no tales.
A few bad actors don't prove your point. Look at Europe, the home of democracy. We don't have guns, our democracy is less under threat than in the states, we don't live in fear in our homes, we rarely have police shootings and we don't have countless gun crimes day in day out.
If there were no guns, how would the history of China, Cambodia, Russia, the US and countless others be different?
Non violence is the future.

Yes, defense against government was the reason and made plenty of sense when the tech was there in the 18th century. But do you think an armed citizenry has even a tiny chance against the American military now? If so let me know who you buy from here cause I want some of that shit :)
They said the same thing about North Vietnam. Look at how that turned out. The same thing is happening right now in Afghanistan. If you’re fighting for something you believe in, anything is possible. You talked about the revolutionary war. It was the same situation. Our fore fathers believed their cause was just so they took up arms and went to war against the most powerful nation in the world at that time. We didn’t even have a standing professional army, yet we won our freedom when nobody would have thought we had any chance of defeating our foes. You also have to take into account if the army would go to war against the people who they swore to protect. If the order is given, l really doubt they would kill their fellow Americans.
Remember who was backing the 13 Colonies,,,, France and the French Army..... out of the goodness of their French hearts ? Your forefathers had the Catholic Spanish to the south, The Catholic French to the North. As Puritans, your forefathers would have taken up arms against their own shadows during those dangerous times. Today is not comparable to then,,, Your Bill of Rights is so outdated. Hence you have such terrible gun problems. My opinion and not a rant,,, Love to all x
It’s expensive. $500 for a grenade. Things like stingers are in the hundreds of thousands dollars range. It’s possible to get anything you want, even tactical nukes are on the table as well. I thought it was bullshit till l saw one. That’s right boys and girls, there are rogue nukes on American soil. You’re talking 10’s of millions of dollars for one of them After seeing it l thought someone would kill me for that very reason. I try to avoid thinking about it otherwise l’ll go off the deep end.
Where is that the money maid by the Police, lawyers, Medical industries, air ambulance is what $4K a trip?
Why don’t you take another English grammar course. My 4 year old niece speaks and writes english better than yourself.
No If Everybody had to ware a gun and soon the dumbest and t, most unrespectful humans will not pass there unwanted gene's on as many as they now do
I am wrong. You’re the end result of inbreeding, that’s the only way to explain why you’re this stupid.
You know you are right the only catch is that the dumbest are little children
…
Normally, l would respond to your pseudo, new age crap with logic and facts, but there's no point in wasting my time. I'm sure it would send you running to your safe space. Do everybody a favor and stay there. I'll hang on to my arsenal and sleep soundly knowing whoever makes the mistake of confronting me won't be around to do it to someone else.

Cops raid Afroman's house, then sue him.
Dude found the pound cake but it wasn't the MJ he was lookin for maybe they'll find kidnaping victims in the kitchen draw..... XD
Yas i read most the article, in a proper contextual nutshell
“several police officers raided a rapper’s home, found no evidence of criminal activity, and are now suing him because he used his own footage of the raid”
Police do a good job; though they do overdo it most of the time

As a black person should I avoid visiting the US?
I have 3 weeks off this August and would like to see the United States for the 1st time. I can get a visa but I am worried about hassles from immigration, the police, etc based on everything I see that happens there. It’s not a cheap trip and if there’s a chance it’s going to get ruined I’s rather go somewhere else even though I have always wanted to drive across America.
It's not as bad as it looks on tv! Black people are a hugely important part of American culture and the object of love and admiration across a lot of different sub cultures. The immigration and law enforcement officers you are talking about are very likely to be African American themselves.
Yes there are some places where the inner city conflicts with the suburbs and its surely a racial situation but that's an isolated phenomenon and is unlikely to come up on your trip.
Enjoy the states and if you are going to make it to Chicago hit me up :)

As a "black" person, I would visit Atlanta, Georgia in US....if you enjoy large cities....Atlanta's metro population is 70% black....
Out of curiosity. How is Chicago now? Got a few american buddies who watch me play online an they have told me to not go L.A an if I do at least avoid north L.A and also said not to visit Chicago
When people talk about America, they speak as if it’s all one place but it’s actually different states all over so if you can imagine Texas can be Scotland and California is England. So what we see on the news doesn’t happen in every state as some states have a lot of mixed communities in comparison to others. So I guess you would be fine in general just be careful where you go.♥️
You're not likely to get any hassles from immigration. As for the police, you should be OK. The precaution you'll have to take with them will be to a) avoid as discreetly as possible and, b) if they do engage you, cooperate at all times and never be argumentative in any way. If you have a legit problem with an American officer, take it up through legal channels AFTER the incident. Never during. That is a sure way to escalate.
Follow the rules above, and you'll be fine. Road trips highly recommended!

So you are just telling him to be subservient to the cops, bow your head and you will be fine? What sort of holiday is this? What sort of mentality is that?
From my experience at first police may be arms house,
No good cop bad cop both will be bad cop. But once they hear your accent and you tell them you ain’t no N****** but a black man from UK they will change and you be ok.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Once the accent is evident and they know you are a tourist there should be no hassle, provided you are breaking no laws - also something to be careful with since laws vary from state to state. Smoke safe, smoke free.
Same as anywhere nowadays, do your research find out where not to be etc, just dont reach for your identification too quickly and youll be fine!
I’m a white American leftist, and I’ve got my eye on social policy all over the place. Obviously America is reckoning with its generations-old, overt racist culture right now, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go see a gorgeous country. Wherever you go, the police will likely be 100% dogshit because that’s what police are. Absolute bottom line, I hope this post is old as fuck because PLEASE don’t travel, PLEASE don’t push these guidelines for COVID
You said it all in your first 5 words. Some of my friends are police and without them we’d be at the mercy of the mob much like parts of America are now. There are good cops, there are bad ones. By tarnishing a whole set of people in a negative way you’re no better than the racists you mention. Ridiculous comment.
Nice generalisation and overtly activistic comment. It doesn't answer the question and posits vastly inaccurate information. Much love though.
White American I guess cos this is not what I hear from friends and family over there but hey call my comment what you wish.. much love though
I thought I'd let you trip yourself up on your own assumptions, rebel against what people ask or tell me to do, then impart I have black family in both the USA and the UK (that probably counts for nothing against pure activist ideology because people are never happy no matter what your factual postion). Did you ever ask what my race was? Neither my family nor me need activists fighting our battles. Thanks for the wokish concern, but please virtue signal elsewhere :)
No victims here.
Peace out. xxx

Now I understand why racism is such a poison in America , you guys seem to either ignore it or deny it or just minimize it as if nothing ever happens..sad b..
I felt exactly the same as a mixed race guy with a few Arab country trips under my belt. It's a different situation, but immigration particularly worried me.
Then I went to Vegas and did a bit of a Harley Davison road trip. I found nothing but warm generosity from everyone I met along the way. As those above, people of all races went out of their way to be more kind and helpful than I've ever experienced at home.

Stop watching the MSM, be polite and don’t be a jerk or break the law. Basic really. People of all races can fall victim to a bad cop just like they can meet one who’ll help them out.
You should be fine, just avoid Washington and Oregon if possible. They aren't the most welcoming.
It's not to that degree at all. Some may go out of their way to accommodate you out of shame.
Have an awesome time, in the south you will be the majority race in most situations (at least the fun ones).
Just remember when someone asks "how is your day going?" it means you should be reaching for a tip. ;)

Whatever happened to apathy?
This polarized world is just what our parents wished for, they always bitched how people didn't care about politics or have an opinion about society.
Be careful what you wish for
Be careful what you wish for
Apathy is a lack of interest or emotion towards something that someone might be expected to be invested in. It is a common human emotion that can result from a variety of factors, including boredom, burnout, depression, and disengagement.
While apathy has been a part of human nature for a long time, it is difficult to say whether it has become more or less prevalent. With the widespread use of social media and the internet, people may be more connected to the world around them and more informed about events, which could lead to greater investment and engagement. On the other hand, there are also increasing concerns about the impact of information overload and the spread of disinformation, which can contribute to feelings of disillusionment and detachment.
Overall, it is likely that apathy will continue to

Just what America needs an urban combat training center for police officers. They want to build it in a Georgia Forrest and they have already killed a protester standing in the way.
This shit makes it so much harder to be a cop. Every police officer is looked at differently because idiots like this want to have irl gaming time. To think of the training options a department has and to think of the waste is also fucked.

Cornel West on America's Existential Crisis
America's best social philosopher saw this coming but can't let go of hope.
Great thinker, great journalist too in Chris Hedges. But they are old thinkers. Completely ignorant of the potential of crypto anarchy solutions to the problems they see.
…
Cornel West is a laughingstock racist posing as a philosopher. His ideas are moronic. See Thomas Sowell if you want some edification.
why are you compelled to compare him to another black man with unrelated ideas? now that's some racism.

Preventing Medical Tyranny - What the US Constitution Almost Achieved
Constitution Signer Benjamin Rush: "Unless we put medical freedom into the constitution the time will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship and force people who wish doctors and treatment of their own choice to submit to only what the dictating outfit offers"
lol, ya'll really need to be more academic. No disrespect but the man educated over 3,000 medical professions, so if you happen to believe that such information of this quotation exists, it don't cause it ain't real.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Rush#Religious_views_and_vision
Also, this is not the first time Rush has been misquoted and characterized upon his views.

Also, here's who Rush really was http://www.szasz.com/freeman7.html piece out some qoutes and tell me this conception is consistent with him?
Medicine men have used their tricks for power since the 1st civilizations. Still a very impressive prediction though.
what rush really was saying, read some of his actual quotes http://www.szasz.com/freeman7.html
Rush would agree that today the only health care systems completely controlled by government are those with socialist-run systems such as Canada and GB. Health care is available to everyone in the U.S. (as are other essential things like food and shelter) and the care here is among the best in the world (if not THE best). The idea that health care is something more special than, say, food or shelter is an idea born in the mind of Marxists (hard to say which) as a means to take control of the masses. Left to the market, it would be affordable and available. Stop with the juvenile conspiracy theories unless you have some facts to share in lieu of the fake quotes...
Theres also a lot of predictive programming going on.

Glen Greenwald is America's important journalist, he saw the 1st war on terror and what it would do to the country. His work with Edward Snowden is historic.
It's worse this time, the left is using it as a political tool against the right. So long America,, and thanks for all the burgers.

What is American Freedom?
I know. It's a shit show in the USA for most things, and freedom,the american dream, home of the brave, most of that stuff is in the plumbing end of the toilet already.
But that's not what I'm talking about.
I'm an outsider here having spent most of my life outside of the USA but in many ways I feel strongly american. That's what gives me a basis for comparison of things like freedom. And why I say it's pretty fucking good, at least for immigrants and people that see through their eyes.
The difference is baggage, everyone that has moved here has left most of it at home. Parents, religion, class, reputation - this and more is deleted or at least rebooted; makes for a lot of freedom of thought, feeling and opportunity.
There's tons of high minded law written down by american governments but that all gets corrupted over time like anywhere else.
Generational stray kills the basic, immigrant's freedom too, especially when the pool of noobies gets smaller. But it's a slow, analog fade out, not the hot switch activated when law meets dollar.
There's still a perceptible amount of natural, "new country" freedom remaining, mostly because this stuff sucks even more in the older countries.
You could say "American Freedom" lives outside the USA as well, people that moves to a city with a different rule set have always experienced this, imagine arriving in Rome before they fucked that place up.

Keep an eye on Minneapolis!
This could end very badly. Trump had threatened to bring in the army and after referring to them again as "thugs" he tweeted "when looting starts, the shooting starts"... This tweet was hidden by Twitter (who he recently signed an order against to remove liable protections) so his war with them is ramping up... a CNN reporter was arrested at the protests after identifying as press but has since been released. The Police Department has been burned down. These protests began a couple of days a go and have been ongoing. The officer who killed George Floyd is still free.
Just for any one unaware the protests began after the murder of George Floyd and in the wake of the daily murders of innocent, unarmed black people by US police forces.
I'm getting concerned about this situation and because history shows us that the US can murder scores of black people in the street and have it forgotten about the next day I really would keep a close eye on this one....
Can you believe this is the country we have (apparently) chosen to side with going forward.... this is the country that wants our NHS and a fat new trade deal.... if this where happening anywhere else in the world things would be very different. Every single day our news shows us this shit coming out of America and we have no choice but to stomach it because we can't do anything and our gov is always in their pocket. I feel so bad for the Americans being kept down by these people, I don't even know what to say.... just please don't let this one go unnoticed.
And just hope it doesn't get as bad as it could.
Sorry for the downer topic but this matters. And the US is fucked.

So much of today reminds me of 20th century sci fi. The "former united" states of america is a regular theme: riots, anarchy and a greedy corporatocracy running everything.
They're definitely straying a bit too close to the edge, they'll do their best to take us all down with them too if it happens the bastards lol.
After 3 days of riots the officer has finally been arrested but even that's probably just because they can't keep him safe any more. 8pm curfew for the people living there now.... America is fucking bizarre.
Protests/riots have gone nationwide now, this is far from over.

I've been living in Minneapolis for the past three months (British living in Australia usually) and I have to say, I've never seen anything quite like this. People are upset and rightly so; there is a systemic issue with racism in the Minneapolis (and probably many other cities and states) and people have had enough. No amount of comment about violent protesters and supremacists is going to distract the world from the real issue here; America has institutionalized racism throughout governmental (and non-governmental) bodies. The (majority of) police here disgust me. Trigger happy men, bullied as kids with a god complex, demanding respect because they hold a gun, and oppressing whomever they want without fear of retribution. The state of Minnesota continues to safeguard the liberty of 3 of the 4 involved in the killing last week, and the other is faced with charges that will mean he won't see in the inside of a jail cell.
I'm digsusted.
I'm digsusted.
I’m white dudeand I’ve been personally treated like a criminal and felt excessive force but not like that, I don’t think ppl in England realize how nice it is to have a conversation with a police officer
Thanks for sharing, the fact you can experience all of this in just 3months adds a lot of perspective I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like for the people who lived their whole lives there. The whole world seems to be on their side with this, even the UN, I hope the fact the world is watching will help keep people safe and help to bring justice and change but it's really not looking good so far. The people NEED to win this fight.
Take care of yourself over there mate.

Still kicking off but not getting ignored thankfully. It's good to see people from other countries (including ours!) protesting outside US embassies in solidarity.
Been videos caught of police shooting innocent bystanders (stood in their own gardens) and people just out shopping with rubber bullets... apparently that makes it ok. Police driving into protestors. More choking with the knee. Lots of police butality I wont link to them but one safe to watch is this https://streamable.com/u2jzoo - does it get more "America" than that? Imagine that coming down your street telling you to get inside. He actually said "light 'em up" wtf?
Do we have any Americans on here? they're usually everywhere - be careful!

Why is it so hard to forgive others?

Why is it so hard to forgive others?
The people of Hiroshima, Dresden, Afghanistan, Vietnam, most of Latin America, the list goes on forever and they have all forgiven the US for official actions that pale next to what a few lunatic terrorists have done. Yet the whole Muslim world including that within the US is hated and attacked endlessly.
Yes but they aren't even the demons anymore, the US just really needs enemies to kill or the guns come out at each other.
Truth. Altho all the borders drawn up by us brits after the second World War somewhat helped in creating those modern day situations
True. Before the Americans Islam endured British Colonization and before that the centuries long Crusades. Yeah they have done a some crazy shit especially at the fringes but the score is a fuckin blowout with the Christians scoring way, way more kills and it's still not enough.
And the basis of Christianity is forgiveness!

I’ve cried every morning this week watching the news. Actually makes me feel abit ashamed to be white! Corruption on top of more fucking corruption the innocent suffer as the rich get richer but they have no soul
White guilt fuck that shit
Skin colour has nothing to do with it, humans get corrupted...there’s evil in every corner but there is also good fighting back regardless of colour.
Humans have a tendency to focus on the differences rather than the similarities...negative over positive...what separates us rather than connects us
Divide and conquer is upon us...don’t be fooled!
ALL LIVES MATTER!

I totally agree but white people have completely unknowingly and threw no fault of their own and of course in my opinion only clearly benefited from black people suffering and discriminated against over the colour of their skin which is of course ridiculous it’s the people at the top who are to blame but it’s everyone needs to stand together equal so they understand. I don’t think a white person has ever had to give up their seat on a bus purely based on skin colour. A lot has changed in the last 20/30 years I don’t agree with people saying it hasn’t and of course ALL lives matter but ALL lives won’t matter till black lives matter. Peace
All lives matter
Colour has nothing to do with it, this is perpetuating the problem by pitting one against the other. This is why we are in this mess to begin with and until people see that things will never change
White people aren't the only ones who have done wrong in terms of benefitting over others. Its a small part of a bigger picture

Well I think if everyone just accepted things will never change slavery would still be a thing... I totally get where your coming from but respectfully have to disagree this has brung all races together to stand as one against the powers that be it’s beautiful to see.. yes All lives matter that’s the point is that black people have not been treated equally Black lives matter. This is their moment I think we should let them have it but you are completely entitled to your opinion no bad blood here :)
Oh you didn’t see those rioters attack that honest female shop owner then uh?
This situation is bringing the worst out in people because of their polarised views and beliefs
You can’t fight fire with fire as they say...fighting, rioting, looting is part of the problem...it’s why there needs to be law and order in the first place
This is bordering pathological hypocrisy
Yes no hard feelings bud, I’m not saying it to you as such or having a go as you sound as your heart is in the right place... I’m just letting it out, venting if you will
People get caught up in the swing of things and become the thing they hate or are that they’re fighting against ya see...only until we can see ourselves

Ye no of course bud I don’t agree with the rioting and looting but 90% of protests are peaceful i in no circumstances condone violence. I’ve just always hated racism my ex was polish I live in a small welsh town and saw first hand how horrendous it can be. I’m white but was porn in South America Peru my godfather is Peruvian. I’m just venting to if there was no difference of opinion the world would be a boring place. I like a good debate :) your hearts clearly in the rite place to its a shame this is something that we still have to contemplate but there we go
Life’s to short
It would be boring without our uniqueness each person can bring but its a shame we all didn’t think the same way when it came to our differences
Live and let live, reach down to those who need a hand up...a rising tide raises all ships

Agreed bud if we all saw difference as a good thing the world would be a better place :) stay safe peace
Just don't let this turn itself into "hate yourself for being white", that SHOULD be the complete opposite of the message.
That's racism against white people and a modern revival of the religious need to feel guilty. There's no race/country in the world (at least none on the bigger/more widespread) that hasn't done something horrible and shameful. Please stop all that negativity. White people are not that specially evil. Look around you and you will find great human beings. Stick with them and forget all the media and politicians bullshit

Proven: US Democracy = What China imposes on Hong Kong
Proven: US Democracy = What China imposes on Hong Kong
.02% of the population nominates the candidates in both countries, leaving voters as chumps. In HK it's compliance with the Chines government that gets the nomination in the US it's compliance with the campaign's financiers.
I just saw the part where he shows there is no correlation between public support and legislation but a strong correlation between financial support and legislation, it's kind of mind blowing even if you're already jaded.

Russians Miss How Easy It Is To Control US Gov
All this lame Facebook propaganda is like an old KGB ploy, like spying and war gaming and the rest of the shit the Russian Gov wastes its time on.
Buy it, comrades, that's all you fucking have to do. Align your interests with powerful corporations and learn the cheap and easy game here. Wouldn't hurt your own business acumen either.

If you want to know who controls the US government, you should investigate its ties to Israel. You should look at how many russian-american dual citizens work in the highest positions of influence in government, and how many israeli-americans do. You should look at how many donors in the political system have ties to Israel, and you should look at where all the wars America has engaged in recently have taken place, and who were most vocal in advocating for those wars, and who owns the news media that sold it to the american people. Once you've done all that, banging the russia drums seems like a faint distraction.

Say what you like but where can you find more freedom than the U.S.?
0
Not just number its the percent of people living in jail and its not only Number 1, it's 5x that of nearly any country and more than 2x the number 2 prison mill, Russia.
Things are not getting better, they are getting worse because the prison industry is embedded into the state.
“if all drug cases were eliminated, the US imprisonment rate would still have quadrupled over the past thirty-five years.”"
“if all drug cases were eliminated, the US imprisonment rate would still have quadrupled over the past thirty-five years.”"
How free is a country where 1/3 of the population is considered by its government to be criminals?
At some point any maybe we are there now it's like the lack of a criminal record says something about a person
i get what all of you are saying but it's important to remember society is more than government/media/corporotracy. the freedom of america has always been how people treat each other and especially don't judge each other. america is still the most diverse society and people are supportive of you doing whatever you want to. try that in your old country or your parents old country etc. it's always a place that has felt less free than the the us.

"An invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people"
You might think this the words of a conspiracy theorist, or a libertarian longing for the days before World War 2. Nope, it was US President Teddy Roosevelt back in 1906.
Here is the full quote:
Political parties exist to secure responsible government and to execute the will of the people. From these great tasks both of the old parties have turned aside. Instead of instruments to promote the general welfare they have become the tools of corrupt interests, which use them impartially to serve their selfish purposes. Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to dissolve the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics, is the first task of the statesmanship of the day.

110 years later and it's only got worse, no President, no Congress and no Court has a chance against this problem because it's hard wired into them.

americans don't want to upset religious folks it's the whole basis of the country to do just the opposite. doesn't matter what they believe in from the pilgrims to the mormons, the crazier the better.
the only counterforce to this foundational belief of the american people is the will of those that have a buck in conflict.
doesn't matter if its soldiers or cops, just give them an honest living and making trouble for innocent people like this disappears.
