True...but unfortunately, old news. Conservatives all know this...but it needs to get out for more widespread effect. |

https://www.nationalreview.com/magazine/2020/08/10 /trumps-reactive-engagement/#slide-1 I tend toward Jacksonian in military/violence matters. Don't fight unless you have no choice. Don't fight without understanding the price and conditions of winning. Don't fight except to win. And if you do fight, fight with overwhelming force to win. Proportionate response invites losing. Long drawn out conflicts kill far more innocent civilians and your own troops. In personal terms it's best to walk or run away, but if attacked, and there's no option, destroy the enemy's ability to harm you and others decisively, rapidly, with as much force as needed to end the conflict. Fair fights are for suckers and friendly sparring. Not the real thing. Now the rest of Jacksonian politics is judged by it's merits. Jackson was a mean bastard. His namesake policies aren't all good. I tend Jeffersonian & Hamiltonian in other aspects, and essentially Pragmatic theft from any other source. De Sade, Machiavelli, Plato, Heinlein, Anderson. https://americancompass.org/hamiltonian-means-jeff ersonian-ends/ I'll get back to the last 2 in a separate, shorter post. I'm not any one philosophy or politic. None are a complete or unflawed whole. Neither am I. I have core principles and firm decisions, and demand that my response to the universe be based on reality. As my understanding of reality shifts, so do my views. As Bill Whittle says, ( from memory ) "I stand by the Truth. If Truth moves, I move with it." He also said. "There was a time when intellectual meant someone who uses reason and intellect. Today, people who call themselves intellectuals are in a form of mental death spiral: they search for, and find, those index cards that support their world view, and clutch little red books like rosaries in the face of all external evidence. They are ruled by appeals to authority. Their self-image and sense of emotional well-being trumps any and all objective evidence to the contrary." |

https://www.manhattancontrarian.com/blog/2020-7-28 -yl3inutt14922co435gu5vgrv04mme The simple truth is in the editorial above. Never defend. Never admit. Never apologize. Answer questions with questions, and demand answers. Know your logical fallacies, and call them on each, with accusations in questions. Politely. Relentlessly cheerful incomprehension and demands for clarification of illogical propaganda. Oh, it's easier to lay low and be quiet. It takes some effort to pour passion into your acting... And not lose your temper. Just remember. It's an interactive play and they have a script. But you don't need to use theirs. (Message edited by Aesquire on July 30, 2020) |

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/dark-side-c ashless-society The highly likely prospect that being politically incorrect may get your credit/debit card cancelled should be terrifying. I'm paid direct deposit, as are many, today. My "money" is almost entirely held by a company and is just numbers in a computer system until I withdraw it ( by credit card or at an ATM. My bank has only just this week opened the physical offices ) So as I watch Citizens losing their jobs for private conversations being posted on "social media" for "offensive" "hate speech" "crimes", I have to wonder how long before I can have my ability to access MY money Cancelled? Will my post of a meme of Cthulu on a stormy beach with the caption "No Lives Matter" get my income erased? My house repossessed? No way to buy food, fuel, shelter? Maybe armed, masked, communist revolutionaries throwing Molotov cocktails or armed, masked, gestapo-lite minions of the Government kicking down your door isn't the most dangerous threat we face today. |

Good on Mr Walker. It still amazes me the number of people (on the left AND the right) who continue to hold "professional athletes" up on a pedestal through this crap. They're overpaid. They're primadonnas. They have ZERO bearing on real life. They play a freakin' GAME for a living. On the whole, I have zero respect for these people "because they're pro athletes". Who gives a shit. Occasionally, you find a good human being in the group (such as Herschel Walker), but for the most part they're just overpaid, whiny children who have no frame of reference for the rest of our real lives. |
