Posts: 1798Oligarchy. The end times of the failed capitalist system
Watched this fascinating discussion on the rise of oligarchy:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RheHOyxtE5w
It's the natural consequence of concentrations of money and power that follow from capitalism. This conversation is relevant to Europe, to USA, to the Ukraine / Russia conflcit. If you do not agree that we need to smash the oligarchy, it means that you need to educate yourself. The need is more urgent now than ever before.

Of course there's racism even by people of color. But what you, and by default, virtually every Republican, doesn't understand is that people of color have a right to complain. Rather than trying to understand what the issues are, Republicans always simply dismiss them as you have done. If Republicans actually had a modicum of common sense, they'd at least try to understand. But they don't. And they don't even want to. Neither do you. That's what gets people of color all riled up.
Are we back to the 2020 election again? Jeez. Give it a rest, OK? I think you were the moron who said "We don't have any proof that it was stolen but we know it was. " The Mango Mussolini's crackpot legal team filed 60-some-odd lawsuits and exactly none (that's zero, zip, cero) of them mentioned election fraud. Was there some fraud? Sure there was. In twos and threes, not in tens-of-thousands. And guess what? Most of the fraud that was found involved stupid Republicans voting twice.
By the way, it is not illegal to protest in front of someone's home. The ACLU sets out the "rules" here. https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/protesters-rights#text=Private%20 property%20 owners%20 can%20 set, treat%20 protesters%20 and%20 counterprotesters%20 equally. But you'll say that since the ACLU is a "liberal" organization, what they say is "fake news", right? Because you can't be wrong, can you?
If one had to give an answer to "What is the 'one thing' that bothers Republicans so much?" it would be that society is changing and they can't adapt. Republicans can't accept that LBGTQ people want to get married. Republicans can't accept that trans people exist and they want to use a bathroom that conforms to their new identity. They can't accept that a man (who wants to be a woman and is, therefore, attracted to men) would be in a woman's bathroom for any other reason than to prey upon other women. Even you should be able to see how stupid that argument is. But you don't. Republicans can't accept the fact that people of color are angry about how they've been treated since they were first brought here against their will. Republicans keep bringing up how illegal immigrants are all lazy and stupid and they are coming for white people's jobs. Republicans are simply too dumb to see how that proposition makes absolutely no sense. After all, if all of these folks are "lazy and stupid", how would they have the drive and the smarts to take somebody's engineering, physician or sales job? Makes no sense but you dummies fall for it every time. Talk about stupid!

Posts: 5462Gun homicides soared to a 25 year record high under Trump
Little wonder the police, whose ranks were thinned by Trump's Pandemic, have less time, money and facilities to deal with and handle non violent crimes like shoplifting. They've been too busy dealing with Trump's skyrocketing gun violence since his disastrous economic decisions created his Pandemic.
Gun killings reached highest level in 25 years during Covid pandemic, CDC says
https://www.cnbc.com/2022/05/10/us-g...ndroidappshare
The U.S. homicide rate from gun violence rose 35% in the first year of the pandemic to the highest level since 1994, according to the CDC.
Excluding suicides, more than 19,000 people were killed by guns in 2020 compared with more than 14,000 the year prior, according to the CDC report.
Homicides from gun violence increased among people of every age, in most racial groups, for men and women, in cities and in rural areas, and in every region of the nation.
Black Americans suffered the most with the homicide rate from gun violence increasing nearly 40% to 26.6 per 100,000 people, about 12 times higher than the rate among white Americans.

And then I watched 2000 mules, read the idiotic fact check, and if you think anyone who sees this movie will think the 2020 election was fair, they would need a lobotomy. But we are supposed to respect the judges. I did. I respected the fact that there was no way they would stick their necks out and overturn an election no matter what the evidence was, and they did not.
But now there is the repeal of Roe v Wade, and here we go again. The dumb Dems are breaking the law and protesting outside the homes of judges. It is funny how you Dems respect the judges only when you get the decision you want. It is the same with riots. 1-6 happens and no one is hurt but a protestor, and it is the biggest threat to America's freedom. BLM riots, where there is enormous death and destruction, and that is fine.
My sister in law had to take a mandatory seminar at her university. She was told the term breast feeding was sexist because men could feed babies too. It is now chest feeding. She was also told not to call her daughter she because her one month old baby had not made up her mind about what her sex is. She should be called they. Yeah, somebody was actually getting paid to teach that shit, and it was mandatory.
I am glad she saw that. Baby girls being called they versus she is what voting Democrat is all about now as well as racism against white people. Yeah, good luck in the midterms PV. Even with the Roe v Wade gift, you still are going to get slaughtered.

Sometimes in life you have to lose to win. Ukraine has already won, but if this drags on it is really bad for everyone. They need to find a solution, both parties need to compromise. In life you do not always get what you want and sometimes you have to deal with bad people.

More women voted for HRC than voted for the Orange Buffoon in 2016 (54% to 41%.
More LGBTQ folks voted for Biden (81%) than the Orange Fruitcake (14%.
Who cares about specially selected subsets? I guarantee that more idiots voted for Captain Bonespurs than voted for Biden. Including you.

Posts: 1680Well here they are
Yes there is a small minority of Republicans that side with Russia over the Ukraine, and the leaders are a literal whos whos of sleazy citizens who are a scourge on American life and principles. It includes Michael Flynn, Roger Stone, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Steve Bannon, Tucker Carlson, Candice Owens, Madison Cawthorn, Matt Gaetz, of course the Orange one, and even the self proclaimed "asexual incel" Nick Fuentes who wishes Putin was president of the US. LOL Let's see that these characters are put on the back burner of American political life, where they actually are on Ukraine policy. Some like Taylor Greene and Nick Fuentes are about surely too stupid to know better. Others do but are professional con men. That includes Carlson, Bannon, and Stone.

And we can put to bed their lies about Ukraine who has a relatively high freedom score compared to other nations in the region, where democracy is relatively new, and a drastically higher score than Russia. They are on the right track, and their willingness to fight for freedom likely surpasses the US.
