My quick scan wrt reasons why this topic came up.

IMO, my sense of a bigger picture has less to do with “freedom to express opinions”, and more to do with “fighting libtard culture”.

Youtube channel WILL (@WILawLiberty), Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty, seems to be looking for support in fighting emotionally laden culture war issues…[Read more]

LOL, I’m laughing for real, because I must have spent ten minutes rewording my post because it sounded so childish! I wanted to make fun of those guys soooo badly.

If Trump loses, maybe it’s because “the election was stolen”. And they have guns.

It’s only about 1-1/2 minutes long, where I jump into it.

Hmm, WSJ posted this on YT on July 13, before I started this thread. It’s 11-1/2 minutes long: Project 2025: The Radical Conservative Plan to Reshape America Under Trump

Well, they tried to sound sciency. I have my own “hypotheses”. I’ll try to keep this short.

Alien technology, if aliens actually managed to get it here from “other dimensions”, wouldn’t have come in full sized space ships, because of the energy cost of traveling at high speeds to get here. I’ve proposed before, give us a mere million years of…[Read more]

I see this crisis more as a swinging pendulum, or as recently shown by SCOTUS, having relatively quick and significant jumps to the right. The problem is that this swing…

I wish to understand how cults and extreme movements manifest. I see more anger and hate in social media than ever before. I’m seeing people say, with confidence, authoritarianism would be better than the current “permissive society that’s ruining America”. The threat to democracy is real, wrapped in an American flag, and carried by Christian…[Read more]

That’s nice, I like the language he’s using to describe the process.

To be honest, I don’t read enough, so I’m less informed than I should be. I learn the most from…

The video was posted Aug 7, 2015, which would make Dany 15, Pau 13, and Ale 10. I’m not saying this to correct you, but because I’m always remembering these days that Dany and Pau were born in early 2000 and 2002, while Ale was born in late 2004.

OK, I’ll expand this topic beyond SCOTUS. It can also be about neo-GOP, 2024 election, and Project 2025. (It’s a fricken conspiracy.)

They’ve gone even further than I expected, and I was already pessimistic.

Bannon, in his evil genius way, saw this coming, and helped make it happen. There’s some kind of cycle of socio-economic evolution and reactive populism that he has an understanding of. IMO he and Trump are agents of disruption, deception, who smell opportunity, while finding other like-minded, collaborative organizations also smelling…[Read more]

I just assumed that the leaders already know about the deceit, but I guess maybe some will smell a chance to reform, and/or rebel, too. They’ve all been under Putin’s thumb for so long, now, some in profitable positions.
