Also Bernie Sanders is Jewish so calling him a Nazi is even dumber and shittier than usual. And the first non-Christian president would be even more progressive than the first woman one, even though a lot of dopes think Obama was a secret Muslim.

However that accomplishment also applied to the other candidates too, because Hillary Clinton worships Satan and Trump worships himself.

If you hang with the finance set in NYC, they already call Trump the first Jewish president

North Korea has like zero regional ambitions, too. They aren't spreading influence or anything, they just sit there and occasionally do some token military attacks to remind people that the war technically never ended.

Iran is politically very active in local politics and are locked in their weird sectarian death struggle with the Saudis (and Israel)

I agree but I worry less about Iran's leadership, as opposed to N.Korea's insane dictator just up and popping a nuke off because they feel threatened by a military exercise or something. I'm more speaking strictly to the idea of N. Korea having nukes which is what's got the current poo poo stirred up so bad recently.

Reminder that Israel successfully mad dogged the mad dog and successfully threatened Nixon with the Samson Option when it looked like they might lose the Yom Kippur War. Yet we're totally OK with them having nukes (because now they already have them)

i completely trust israel with nukes, basically from the belief that they're a total US protectorate. I guarantee they've had nukes for years before it was public

E. israel is Puerto Rico v. 2 in essence if not reality

That's how they became a protectorate, actually. They threatened to nuke the USSR and European capitals if the US didn't bail them out, and eventually we gave up and gave them whatever they wanted

What would serve the Jew-hating world better in repayment for thousands of years of massacres but a Nuclear Winter. Or invite all those tut-tutting European statesmen and peace activists to join us in the ovens? For the first time in history, a people facing extermination while the world either cackles or looks away—unlike the Armenians, Tibetans, World War II European Jews or Rwandans—have the power to destroy the world. The ultimate justice?

Well that's the thing, capitalistic forces have gotten way too good at promoting themselves to the detriment of all opposing forces. Family, friends, religion, nature... anything that brings security instead of "stuff" must go.

Correct. And, ironically, the social liberalizing forces like both liberals and libertarians are "useful idiots" in this regard when they are prodded into attacking traditional systems of value, which must be cleared away so that the absolute rule of money power can be created.

This why weird stuff like legalizing prostitution is on the agenda. Because for money power to be absolute, all human relationships must be commoditized. No love, only sex work and companion work. No family, only child care work and home aides. No ethnicity, no race, no religion to get in the way. Everything can be bought with money by those with money.

Because they realize it doesn't actually help them except as a crutch and it's all fake anyway because if there is a god no humans on Earth understand who or what it is.

Also because church used to be the cornerstone of the community but nowadays that function has been largely replaced by numerous other things so there's no real impetus to go if you are a non-believer, whereas they used to anyway for the societal/community aspect (and to not be ostracized).

Actually the function hasn't been fully replaced by anything at all. There's just less community period. The closest things are gross empty mockeries of community like a community of being obsessed with Harry Potter or whatever.

Old-fashioned communal groups like blue collar bowling leagues and fraternal orders were once a real part of everyday life, though now they're mostly just a weird historical artifact encountered in cartoons.

And the average American is forced to move every 4ish years for work. So they lose touch with their neighbors and family, and are too overworked to make new connections. They become atomized people. The rise of the national brands dovetails with the increasing mobility of American workers, since they are thrown into mew areas without much local knowledge.

Obviously this is all disastrous for political organization and action.

This is how you end up with alienated miserable people who eventually snap and start shooting people.

Imo it's also why immigrants tend to outperform native-boen American - having an identity and community helps them succeed and be less miserable. It sucks being a minority sometimes and having to put up with being second-class, but at the same time I'm glad I wasn't born white.

We need a pro-government narrative.

I'll rip off a monologue from something I watched ages ago:

I am not a politician by trade. I am a bureaucrat. But I do know this: If the water comes out when I turn on the tap, it doesn't happen magically. Or if there's gasoline when I turn on the pump. For the world to function, a thousand things have to go right every minute. And they have to go right quietly. That's why you have government, to make sure that these things happen quietly. So that we can have our society.

People don't want a small government, they want an invisible government
