US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

 

[Vaclav]

You’ll know the Secret Service is as rotten as the FBI when they start making visits for public criticism of elected officials under the guise of “threats”.

They won't do that because, for all the absurdity they've indulged in, the ruling politicians still value their personal safety and want competent protection. If the SS is weaponized against political dissidents, it will lose respect and likely the morale of officers will be damaged significantly. The SS needs to be a 100% serious business no joking around organization, after all its other mission is to fight counterfeiting and that's also something they can't ever waffle on. Look how the Covid madness has wrecked the reputations of organizations like the NIH and FEMA, which used to be seen as competent and apolitical. They can't afford to play these kinds of games with the agency that ensures their physical security.

what is this faggotry

you need the power grid to make your daily bread? son.

I really like the idea of a wood fired clay oven on my patio, but thats a future project. The best bread I ever ate came from one at a pioneer days type of event. I smoked the eagle scouts out and we raided the bread for munchies.

And nary a one of the activist class ever recognize their own hypocrisy. No "I'm sorry that I enable, nay, depend on the exploitation of the third world for my comfort and moral sanctimony!" tweets "sent from my iPhone." It will just be more sanctimony.

As an example from Leaf Land, there is much rending of garments these days about putting Native kids into residential schools, and the Sixties Scoop, where Native kids got adopted by the thousands into Nice Liberal White People families.

Objectively, these kids were just fucked up by addiction and abuse running rampant through the reserves. And Nice Liberals we’re genuinely trying to help.

And the same Nice Liberals curse the demons that wronged these poor savages! ie, themselves 50 years ago.

Why do leftist hate white people so much when 90% of them and their voters are white? I never understood that. They keep preaching about white supremacy but they're creating them by spending a generation vilifying them for things beyond their control.

Several reasons for several different people.
Group 1, the Reformed Edgy Bois: Because then they're off the hook on a personal level. If white people are inherently racist, maybe they don't have to deeply consider why they were so racist themselves. It's a problem inherent to their nature, they weren't just uniquely shitty people.
Group 2, the ex-equality lovers: Because it's emotionally easier to attribute problems that arose when they attempt to implement equality to some outgroup and blame them than acknowledge that there may be issues in the core group or, worse still, with your methodology of achieving equality
Group 3: They don't consider themselves white, or at least not on the hook for this, and they expect anyone who looks at them to tell the difference. They may be (((white))), or just a POC.
Group 4: They consider white male to be basically synonymous with capitalist millionaire.

Plenty of other groups, too.

I can.

And it looks like I'm going to go back to it.

Or at least watching my wife do it, because fuck kneading dough.

it is really embarrassing seeing someone take bait that fast

They're suicidal and they are cowards.

All of that, and a healthy dose of White Savior complex. They all see themselves in the stories of popular media, because they've mostly been told they are special, unique, and coddled and pandered to so hard, they can't imagine it isn't so. They, themselves, are the hero, and the noble savages will surely recognize it when they tell them whats good for them. That's why I call them lost. The potential to be a fully realized person is there, but they've been robbed of it.

 

[Cuckoman]

lol you don't bake

Have you seen the price of wheat flower? checkmate

 

[Cuckoman]

what is this faggotry

you need the power grid to make your daily bread? son.

True story: One time I put charcoal in the cement-mixer and used it as an oven to bake bread.
I even made a youtube video for close friends to watch just for the lols.

Why do leftist hate white people so much when 90% of them and their voters are white? I never understood that. They keep preaching about white supremacy but they're creating them by spending a generation vilifying them for things beyond their control.

They have substituted the tribal affiliation they'd normally have for their own race for the tribal affiliation with other leftists. A more accurate term for what they call "white supremacy" would be "white noticing". So the leftist reaction to that is a kind of anti-noticing, going beyond just ignoring the anti-white rhetoric and actions from the left, but engaging in and encouraging it. The fact that they are white themselves only lends more legitimacy to this effort. The fact that conservatives, their tribal enemy, are mostly white themselves is another part of it. It's also a symptom of the larger problem of extreme moral dualism that pervades leftist philosophy (conservatives = white, conservatives = evil, therefore whites = evil even if I am white)

Not so much bait when I look at it.

Locally, bread has tripled in cost. The large store, 50 miles away, it's doubled, but that's 4 gallons of gas, so there's more.

Wheat flour is pretty cheap here and I've known how to bake bread since Home-Ec and Boy Scouts.

Economics say I might have to go back to making bread.

Adding on to what @Disc said, anti-white hate is one of the only things uniting many progressive coalitions. Remember when random Asians and Filipinos were being beaten up in I think it was San Francisco and there were these posters going up on social media that said "Justice for So-and-so, unite to fight white nationalism!" White nationalism had nothing to do with the attacks, which were perpetrated by blacks, and white nationalism has absolutely no influence in the places where this stuff happens but it's the only thing that all the "PoC" groups can agree is bad.

Also, the left wants to create more white supremacists because they need a boogeyman to direct the peons' ire toward. Look at Jussie Smollet, the NASCAR noose hoax etc. As I think Posobiec said, they have a problem due to a massive demand for hate crimes but an almost nonexistent supply. We saw a major example of this with Gamergate: the media wanted to conjure up large numbers of misogynistic Nazis because the presence of such people would legitimize their thought-control operations.

Finally, part of this is a reaction to the failure of social engineering intended to create a perfectly equal society. We've had decades of watching TV shows full of black doctors and scientists, affirmative action has been implemented all over and "BIPoC" get unlimited welfare and second chances but there are still massive racial disparities in life outcomes. The reality that all people are not equal or the same is staring them in the face but they -cannot- admit that because it would negate the lie that post-WW2 Western society is built on, so instead they've turned from "equality" to "equity" and are attempting to enforce equal life outcomes on everyone. They have to blame white people for sabotaging the poor marginalized groups because that's the only group they can blame without the ideology collapsing like a house of cards. "White allies" are especially hated because for all their allyship, however much they profess anti-racism, their benevolence has not resulted in the utopia of perfect equality that the activists dream of.

Average physiognomy of a Nixon voter.

They won't do that because, for all the absurdity they've indulged in, the ruling politicians still value their personal safety and want competent protection. If the SS is weaponized against political dissidents, it will lose respect and likely the morale of officers will be damaged significantly. The SS needs to be a 100% serious business no joking around organization, after all its other mission is to fight counterfeiting and that's also something they can't ever waffle on. Look how the Covid madness has wrecked the reputations of organizations like the NIH and FEMA, which used to be seen as competent and apolitical. They can't afford to play these kinds of games with the agency that ensures their physical security.

At some point some politician will be stupid enough to politicize the Secret Service, and I feel like that day's coming sooner rather than later.

 

[LurkTrawl]

Someone blamed Republicans for the hospital shooting.
View attachment 3344910

Gas is almost five dollars a gallon where I'm at. It was four a week and a half ago.

I don't give a fuck about mass shootings at this point.

 

[George Floyd Sneed]

Nixon resigned because the GOP told him they were hanging him out to dry and would vote to remove him from office if it came to impeachment. The GOP would have boldly submitted the most graceful defeat in all of political history.

They planned to do the same to Trump, but the problem is Trump didn't step into Mueller's perjury traps, and the Democrats impeached him for a transparently retarded reason.

Exactly right, even though Nixon won 49 states in 1972, he was never part of the inner clique of Republicans, led primarily by Nelson Rockefeller. Even as Nixon was in various positions of prominence throughout his life, it was always him as an outsider butting heads with the rest of the party. The difference is Nixon was able to do more than Trump because Nixon was smart enough to have good advisors versus a bimbo daughter and her wetbrained husband.

The GOP is the party of cuckery, always has been, always will be.

Because they have been indoctrinated with guilt for slavery, for taking the Indians' land, for the British Empire, etc, since childhood, and since your only option is to either reject religion you were raised in or seek redemption within it, they chose the latter path. Redemption in liberalism means you loudly condemn your whiteness and your society, and participate as you can in its destruction, atoning for your racial sins, lifting up the red, black, and brown people to the position of equality that is rightfully theirs in the heavenly future.

 

[Cpl. Long Dong Silver]

It's clearly the Jews who are at fault for all of it.

Except there is no redemption or forgiveness in wokeism, only a lifetime of groveling and self-abasement.
