"..The high ground"

really queer Christmas posted:

On one hand, more than 90% of all media is owned by like 5 companies and they spew nothing but propaganda, half-truths, and try to spin a narrative that benefits their owners, the rich, and the establishment in general.

On the other hand, holy loving lmao the president of the United States, Donald Tromp, just called the media the enemy of the American people :lol:

Then you realize Donald Trump is also the establishment and you realize we're hosed.

I don't know. Both sides of the aisle have attacked Trump for just about everything the guy does. I don't see why they'd stop trying to shoot him down now if there weren't some kind of truth to it? I'm just playing devil's advocate. Politics is such a lovely game.

Theres a guy around my town who doesn't seem right in the head, bad cauliflower ears, face all scarred up and poo poo, looks like hes been fighting daily for years. Turns out he has some mental issue where he beats himself in the face and head, I feel bad for the guy, just drinks till he passes out to escape some pain, real sad story.

Anyways we need to wrap that fucker up in a flag and print him on money because holy poo poo he's the best mascot we'll ever have.

And yes, we have devolved to mascot status at this point, like a showbiz pizza.

It's funny millennial's have only been alive for 20 years because the CIA is the least trusted branch of the Government within the Government - infamous for being infiltrated by the KGB during the Cold War, during the 60's in the Pentagon it was a running joke anything the CIA knew the KGB would know within 24 hours. Which is kind of how we got to the Government within a Government we got to today.

so that means that the ussr is inside the CIA

some hilariously religious rhetoric that if you translated into Arabic would sound like it was coming from the Ayatollah of Iran.

the Ayatollah, as an Iranian, speaks Farsi, an Indo-European language. It is simply written with the Arabic script (and Farsi adds a few new letters)

You know, when someone runs for office on a rather overt platform xenophobia and right wing nationalism and then within the the first few weeks of taking office takes aggressive action to consolidate power into an unprecedentedly small closed group of people that are openly hostile to and unwilling to compromise with everyone outside that group, maybe it's not the best time to be giving that person the benefit of doubt. Perhaps, given the well documented history of similar events in just the past century and what they lead too, it is totally justified to be overly critical and demanding that the burden of proof be on those now in power as to what their true intentions are.

except that's doesn't seem to be what's happening really because the system works

Trump is gonna serve two terms and isnt going to change america or affect anyones lives to a drastic degree one way or another.

He just needs to stay out of wars and things are going to be more or less the same as usual. This isnt fascism. The left is freaking the gently caress out but these sheltered bitches dont know any better.

Most of my family lives in a police state where you can dissappear for saying the wrong thing about the government and protests are crushed through actual fear of death. The person in charge also can legally rule for life. Thats fascism.

You have to deal with a clown who says dumb poo poo on the internet and might embezzle money at worst. Boo loving hoo. I'd pick stupid over evil any day.
