Sobering analysis.. but also what most of us that keep up with the news already know.

Forces slowly devolving, it's a war of attrition and the costs are not high enough for either side to trigger a collapse. And negotiation is what both sides seem to move towards, but what either side finds acceptable is still light-years apart.

A little part of me hopes that all these people quit and leave everything as is. You want deregulation.. let's go back to the good old times. Let people experience what the robber barons are like.

Same with the military.. if you purge it of ethical and upstanding people that swore an oath to the constitution.. you must be VERY sure the people that control the military will not decide you need to go. One of the hallmarks of dictatorships is splitting the military and having them compete to keep each other in check.

In terms of medical.. there is a correlation between access to healthcare and size of families.. more access means smaller families. I wonder if these ghouls are trying to Speedrun the US in the other direction .. less access to get more offspring... "Else the foreigners are gonna out breed us white folk" type deal.

The argument is flawed. As the vile rhetoric out in the open, normalizes it. This in turn causes it to be used more, snowballing out of control. It deserves to be in the shadows.. skulking.. it belongs there.. it will never go away.

Countering speech with more speech, might work in an honest conversation, but when one side blatantly lies and has no shame.. when we are in a post truth situation.. with alternative facts and NO consequences... while the billionaire class hold the reighns to all the media you consume...

The speech with more speech will not work.

Next to that.. saying Nazi shit and a plethora of other things deserve a punch in the mouth.. the US should have a law that anyone calling a black person the N word can be punched in the mouth by said black person or a designated representative.. that would be a just law.

And these fucktards did not even have the frame of mind to rent a backhoe, and a wood chipper and get these bodies done in an afternoon.

Why not both tackle the systemic issues while not allowing people to poison everything with their vile rhetoric.

Out and about Nazis emboldened to do their thing is not a good thing.

I fear that will just cause the squeeze to focus on dividend payout, stock splits and buybacks.

When did NATO go to war outside the Iraq war? I seem to have missed that.
