This dumpster fire is now 10 years old.  Wow.  

I read through a good chunk of it and nobody argued that America didn't kill him out of their own interests.  Not one person.  We did try to get Tungsten to own up to the fact he was also a horrible psycho and deserved to die, but it is the same thing over and over.  Like sure, we all know Jared really wanted to sell lots of sandwiches too, but his bio would fall short if it only mentioned his pro-sandwich agenda.

Anyway, I just thought I would re-post a thread classic RM quote I found that couldn't have been more on the nose if there was a target painted on it.

Call me what you will, but I think if you are killing your political dissidents, you are doing it wrong. Under any circumstances.

As an aside, if you truly want the United States to fail, you should be pouring as much money into their two-party political system as you can, denouncing the #OWS movement and finding new and creative ways to bring the ideals brought forth by the Tea Party to the forefront. Bonus points if you get any of the complete whackjobs in the Republican party as POTUS. Of course, you'll more than likely be part of the financial-nuclear fallout, but at least you'll find warmth in their smoldering corpse.

I haven't popped into your blog in a while. I see you have posted a book about how North Korea is not so bad after all. Of course the bad guy is America, and there can only be 2 sides, so if America is the baddie, then the DPRK must be... LMAO. Dude, you are hilarious.

So is your national govt. with its nose stuck in uncle sams ass!

Fyi 'lil Kim's a stand up guy.

It's funny, you despise America, yet you can't seem to look at any other country without seeing them through an America lens.

The old school Liberals let Trudeau be an idealist during the election so they could ride his coat tails back into power from disgrace then neutered him once he was in office.

Since your pm I've been thinking I should give you a break, but hot damn that is a really dumb thing to say. Trudeau is a pompous, arrogant fraud who uses his "charm" on the weak to get what he wants - power. His history is littered with taking advantage of people and being all about image - his. You think Trump was a narcissist? Trudeau sets the standard for how it's done. He may genuinely believe in promoting women and women's rights, but he only does it because it serves his ego. When push comes to shove he's a misogynistic fraud. Everything he does is about serving his own needs.

I really don't care if you give me a break or not, but you are reading into what I said with your own ideas of who you think I am.  I guess that is what stalkers do so I shouldn't be surprised.

I think you are wrong about Trudeau.  I think he is naïve and impressionable and it was the old guard of the Liberal party that he has known his entire life that launched his career.  The Liberals were lost in wilderness after the sponsorship scandal and desperate to find an electable leader and picked Trudeau for obvious reasons and it worked.  They let him campaign however he wanted since they wanted to win and didn't want the taint of their scandals draped over him, but once elected they laid the plans for the party and let him know what was really going to happen.  The funny thing is people always criticize him as being a fraud or a dumb drama teacher but still think he is a power hungry puppet master.  He can't be both, and I suspect it is mainly the former sadly.  His naivety was on full display in the We scandal.  He rammed that through and didn't even try to hide it because he thought it would be cool.  So many of his scandals were politically naïve including the dismissal of JRW since he should have known who she was. 

The Liberals rode his coat tails back into power.  I can't see you making an argument against this.  Are you saying he took full control of the party from the old guard?  Look at his cabinet.  There was a lot of women as we all heard about, but there was Goodale, Dion, McCaulay, McCallum.  A lot of names that go back to Chretien and Martin.  Do you think Bob Rae was taking marching orders?  I don't.  I think Trudeau was.

Trump didn't win in Nov and I don't think he's more popular now.  The anti-vax message from Trump and GOP is sinking them further down.  They are doing to the best to rig it so they can though.  Like any con man, sooner or later it all catches up to them, hopefully sooner than later.

Do we have the same internet? Trump's taking full credit for the warp speed vax program. I find that hard to be construed as anti vax.

The advantage of being a duplicitous asshole.  

You like it?  I did that!  It was all me and you can thank me later. 

You hate it?  Me too.  Fucking liberals.

As well put as that was, the only issue with it is Trump approved the vaccine and touted it pre production. I hope we can agree, for him, walking back from something like thee Corona vaccine would be next to impossible in the future.

It's 100% political.  Trump didn't do shit to slow down COVID and puts all his eggs in the vaccine basket assuming he would be president when they rolled out and could take credit for it all.  Which in itself is ridiculous since the vaccine was made all over the world and he had nothing to do with their hard work.  Operation Warp Speed was a good investment to help the process, but it would be like investing in Apple and taking credit for the development of the iPhone.  Since Trump lost as the vaccine was coming online and it was now Biden telling people to get the shot Trump's supporters turned against it as they had been trained to do.  There is zero need for consistency in a cult.

Aged like milk.  At least it was only 20 years.  The Romans tried spending cash on nation building in England for 400 years only to get tossed out.

Assuming non-whites automatically vote democrat might be quite wrong

its possible Trump might be too bogged down in his legal problems to run

but i think he might end up having another go at it

and lose again

They don't all vote Democrat, especially the Hispanics as we learned in the last election, but they are not generally in the cult and can be persuaded.

Partially, but I don't think that many people vote strategically. I think there is a lot of "the devil you know" going on as well that keeps the Greens down and the NDP from forming a government. I only do it when I feel I need to keep the Conservatives out of power. The last few elections I have voted Green and they do pretty well in my riding.

The "taxes up = bad" thing that a lot of old timers fall into drives me crazy. I just want value.

Maybe less so strategic voting then, but under FPTP I've spoken to plenty of people that tell me that voting green is just throwing the vote away. I'd be very curious to see the percentage swings were we under a PR system. I suspect this is why Trudeau about-faced on that promise.

We've been borrowing against the future for a hundred plus years. We can either pay the bill in taxes, or in the destructive force of nature. I'd rather my taxes go up.

Without FPTP the Liberals would suffer for sure.  FPTP is only good for the parties that people believe represent each side and it tends to force voters to think that way so it entrenches the Liberals and Conservatives as our 2 natural ruling parties.  The old school Liberals let Trudeau be an idealist during the election so they could ride his coat tails back into power from disgrace then neutered him once he was in office.

I’m a single issue voter - climate - and I’m voting Green again.

I don’t see how the status quo parties are a logical choice at this point.

It can still make sense to strategically vote for the NDP or the Liberals if the Conservatives look close to a victory since there would be some discernible differences in policy, but I am probably doing the same as you.

Voting strategically is why parties like Green have struggled to achieve the 2 seats and 10% needed to achieve official party status. Voting strategically is why we continue to have the same 2 parties trade power. Voting strategically is the status quo at play.

We should have solved this with updating the electoral process away from first past the post, but Trudeau unsurprisingly broke his promise for Electoral Reform once he had power to do so.

..

edit - that's more me being frustrated after listening to my boomer father tell me how "don't you know that taxes are gonna go up?" than it is replying to your point.
