The little guy was told he couldn’t work while our elites & betters did zoom meetings and ordered Uber eats never missing a paycheck. Our ruling class got a 2 year vacation of working in their pajamas while a trucker was told to starve and die. Our betters sent their kids to private school while the little guys kids got public teachers unions refusing to go to work and zoom classes and plummeting reading and math scores. Our betters never missed a funeral, a holiday with family, a vacation or even a meal while plebs had all of that cancelled and were arrested if they tried to complain. So no Matt… I’m not going to say “Thank You” to Joe Biden & the Democrats for allowing 600,000 people to go back to work. For lifting restrictions they never followed. For putting a little less pressure on the neck of the working class.
As a classic liberal I agree with the first sentence. It's Regressives that yearn for the days of Aristocracy, with, of course, themselves as Kings. So they terrorize and murder as a matter of imposing their Will.
Don't understand the meaning of, or relation to, the first sentence by the second.
So I'll assume it's poorly understood creed you lack the context to analyze. Feel free to inform us how your Masters want you to think. You know, so we can better detect ill intent.
Or perhaps you can explain a rational and humanitarian reason to favor your view.
The serious lack of sense in Mirroring ( or Projection ) is either a mental illness, evil herd conditioning, or stupidity.
Normally I'd point out the distinction between ignorant and stupid. How you may be quite smart, but if you never learned basic math you don't comprehend how to make change after you ask the customer if he wants fries with that. The difference explains how a law school student can't understand the greenhouse effect, with no interest or knowledge of basic physics.
That doesn't really apply with Mirroring. It's fundamentally stupid.
I figured out others aren't copies of me pretty early. Bullies don't think like me. I don't get sadistic pleasure from picking on weaker prey. They do. I have no desire to rule others by force, many others do.
This doesn't mean I'm unique or a genius. It took years to figure out how to stop bullies from picking on me and my classmates. My family moved a lot when I was young, so I had to deal with a new school and neighborhood often.
But I figured out early you Don't pay Danegeld. Long before I knew that word, or heard the song.
Generation Jones? A new one for me, and I are one.
Any other Gen Jones agree with the above? Seems right to me. I think the lines are more blurred than most "social scientists" like to make it, but that's true of lots of ideas how things are...
Motorcycle speaking, I had older used bikes than some, not Matchless or other "exotics", but early to mid 70's Suzukis and always was helping my friends with Triumphs and Norton's of the same age and Prince of Darkness ignitions.
Or in other terms, I think we were the Last Generation to know how to set points.
I often point out that my ancestors took slaves. I'm not proud of that, it's just true. I'm named after an escaped slave!
My ancestors took slaves mostly from the British Isles, and Europe, so "race" wasn't involved. Heck, my Mom's side took slaves from my Dad's side.
John Cleese was right. My kin raided his kin. He's not getting any reparations from me though! His kin conquered my kin to stop the raids! So I have more recent claim to victim status. And both of us have ZERO claim on the other for our ancestors sins. Period.
Hillary of all people should be a big fan of untraceable funds! So she's both lying, which is normal for her, and inadvertently revealing her inner tyrant.
It's fine for her to be laundering money. She's been doing that for years and Billion$. But not you peasant scum.
Full disclosure, not a fan of the Clinton crime family. Or the Obama crime family. Or the Biden Crime famiky. Or the...
That's the surface. We aren't the scum who stole an election and then held an American Reichstag Fire to cement their rule in perpetuity.
We aren't Twitter, who banned Donald Trump and still let Putin lie online.
We aren't the Western Elite.
I still think there's a chance to save a Constitutional Republic, but it's not looking good.
The "good" news is, a very recent poll shows a minority of Klan Party members would fight for their country. So we can defeat the cowards if we chose to.
Intellectual Idiots say the Old Days are obsolete. Really? For MOST of history Kings went to war to steal resources from other Kings. Crops, minerals, subjects, trade routes, oil, to grow Empires.
History is all about greedy bastards stealing their neighbor's stuff. Once technology allowed long range sailing ships, the neighbors grew to include distant lands with less ability to defend themselves. See "colonialism" .
That hasn't changed at all.
Putin wants his Empire, and Ukraine has the farms and technology companies that his Old Empire stole before. His new one will murder as ruthlessly and possibly in greater numbers, but it WILL LIE the same. And expect the New York Times to cover for him as they Love his religion more than yours.
Xi wants the semiconductor industry, & industry of Taiwan, the oil fields in Southeast Asia and Pacific. And, eventually, your stuff too.
Probably by invading through Canada with the cooperation and glee of their Tyrants.
Which isn't paranoia. It's logical evaluation of current trends.
And very high in that belief is the principle that the Sheepdogs must never prey on the sheep. Those are the wolves that must be stopped if our society is to have any trust in our police. Bad cops must be cast out and punished to the maximum extent.
And there are Bad Cops. The former & current heads of the FBI, NSA, etc. Are Bad Cops. They should be in prison forever so they cannot commit more crimes upon us.
There have been Bad Cops locally, and I have personal really weird experience with a few of them. But one true story is ok to tell you.
I and my friend, ( who was studying under the same Sifu ) interrupted a violent robbery of an elderly store owner, who was being brutally beaten. We stopped the robbery and held the perp for the police. There were some amusing aspects if you want a true comedy tale, but the Bad Cops part...
We were awarded a commendation. Nice. But didn't know about it for 2 years. Instead of the diner and ceremony, the framed awards were shoved into the back of the Captain's desk, until he was replaced, and the new Captain was going through the desk. We didn't get the dinner or public recognition, because the Chief who signed the awards had been convicted of corruption, and as the Captain told us, "I don't think they'd let Gordie (the Chief ) out of prison to hand these to you" and to avoid embarrassment...
So I have an actual hero award, and the story behind it is weirder than the action that earned it.
Enough bragging.
In George Soros owned DA areas, where crimes aren't prosecuted, the crime rate is deliberate. When a city council votes to make robbery an un-crime, as long as it's under an arbitrary high amount, and Not Them, that's Deliberate.
If your system is run by Wolves, the Sheepdogs can't function. And just like in the U.S. Military, the good ones are cast out for not going along with the corruption.
Putin & Xi both consolidated power with ruthless use of destruction.
Putin has rivals and critics imprisoned and assassinated, at home & abroad. Even uses Signature means like radioactive Polonium to make sure everyone knows it's his will. ( like leaving a clever riddle at a crime scene to mock Batman, it's only in comic books and Ruthless dictatorships that people get away with it.) The Riddler is Imaginary. Putin will have you murdered in real life. And no one doubts that, or that fear of his power lets him do so with impunity.
Xi is similar, but with a lower profile. American papers might have a paragraph about some governor of some province very few have ever heard of, being executed for corruption, and a single line quote about how great it is that the Government doesn't tolerate corruption. Leftist Media might have a longer quote including how grateful the People are for their Wise Leaders.
Now, there's little doubt that the dead former apparatchiks were corrupt. We expect that of Chinese bureaucrats. And "everyone knows", in China, at least, that the Executed somehow displeased the Glorious Leader. But no one says it aloud.
As the above editorial says, when you rule like that, the only people left around you all agree with you and tell you what you want to hear, regardless of reality.
That can result in really bad decisions, especially if you have other powerful people influencing the minions.
That isn't unique to distant lands.
Bill Clinton fired a swath of the Justice system to install his own ringers. ( that would never charge or convict him & his friends )
Trump didn't, wasn't able to, purge the Swamp, it's deeply entrenched and hard to change.
We see how powerful a weapon against their Enemies having the Prosecutors and Judges in your ideology/cult of personality/Party is, in cities across the country. People get away with literally murder, or are imprisoned without bail for taking a selfie, depending upon Party & Narative.
I'm not really comparing Joe* to Xi. That's absurd. But the echo chamber of advisors problem is similar.
Bad decisions get made. See Afghanistan, Ukraine, the Southern Border, and the Iran nuclear weapons encouragement & Islamist Terrorism funding programs of Barry & Joe*.
Hey, if I could work from the beach or at home, and not have to talk to the peasant scum I "represent", that would be great! Especially at those pay scales!
Great for Congressional Staff too! No temper tantrums to put up with, ( poor Kamala's minions! ) No need to run down to the Capitol Pharmacy for Viagra and senility drugs for the boss in my name. No personal contact with the peasant scum! Awesome!
It's not a representative if they don't represent.
I've had to apologize to a buddy who watched a lot of ( banned overweight pundit conspiracy theory guy ) and kept telling me horror stories about pedos running the Government and Media.
He ( and the banned pundit ) was right. See CNN, Disney, and the leg hair guy, whatshisname.
Today's headlines start off with how the actual middle east is upset with Joe* supporting terrorist groups. Then more on how the U.S. ( Joe* ) is screwing everyone by placating the murderous Mullahs and removing their death squads from the terrorist group list, and giving the women murdering scum billion$.
Without any legal action or consulting Congress. Like Barry did with secret plane loads of untraceable cash. Pure, dictatorial power in favor of the terrorist regime.
Barry had the excuse he was an Apostate Muslim. Or lied, taqiya, about being Apostate, since the Mullahs around the world didn't call for his punishment for Apostacy. By his own statements, Barack Obama is sentenced to death by any man's hand. That the Mullahs have not said so, proves his dishonesty.
Joe* doesn't have that excuse, so these policies must come from... You tell me. Utter stupidity? That is a Given, so it's his staff. ( implies Barry still runs things )
No matter WHO runs D.C., The Facts are the Iranian Mullahs won't honor any deals. They never have.
Ditto Putin, his Old Soviet Empire, and the Chinese Communist Party. Zero honesty, zero intent to keep their word. For over a century.
You can't make a deal with liars who won't pay their part. You just enable the scam & get screwed. Period.
