See, I don't think even Trump wants this or thinks it possible, and the disingenuous niggercattle who keep saying that's what Trump/populists want simply because they don't believe in perpetual empire-building or the conflict that arises from it can choke on dicks.
Because he's not Nixon.

I rarely hear that guy's name from boomer libs or progtards funny enough or even the blacks themselves.
He is basically considered a forgotten relic who just showed up because JFK got popped.
Many boomer libs believe that JFK would have ended segregation when I have read conflicting articles that most likely he would have been like Obama.
Great presentation, No substance.

Amazing how they never want to give credit to Eisenhower and company for their efforts.

The only thing that I can remember about Ike from liberal articles.
Was like Ike secretly hated niggers and wanted nothing to do with them. I think it might have been Cracked and this is way before wokeshit became big.
Only other time that I heard him mentioned was the Little Rock 9. And he also hated JFK from liberal leaning articles.
They don't go in depth on his WW2 achievements or anything else from his presidency. I guess I can see why, he wasn't someone they wanted to fuck like JFK and was president during the horrible evil 1950s with niggers getting water thrown on them from their POV that they emphasize.
When I think about it, a lot of my WW2 knowledge came from Hollywood movies rather than school.

I think the biggest "societal injustice" the United States has right now- one, I would argue, that's inevitable to lead to extreme instability and eventually unrest because the steps to fix it are required to be radical by default, is how the economic reality of the US has basically been rigged to prevent the nuclear family from being established.
The "nuclear family", I'm referring to, is more or less a marriage between a husband and wife that results in at least one child- a family that is supported by the income of one spouse while the other spouse devotes their time to the care of the young and health of the household. Back in the Boomer days you really had to try hard to screw this up- even if you were black in the Jim Crow south. All you generally needed was a high school diploma and a willingness to work a 9 to 5 job, either white or blue collar. Do this and your salary alone could afford a house, a car, and support a wife and two kids.
Nowadays it's generally considered the most basic "living wage" you need to have a chance to thrive and not just eek out survival paycheck to paycheck across the country is $20 an hour for a single adult, which roughly equates to a gross of $41,600 a year. And even then this salary is NOT going to get you by an a batshit insane HCOL area like California. However- for two adults you really need twice this amount- adding up to $83200 a year. Oh- and by the way, it's been theorized the annual cost of one child per year is around $21000- bare minimum and that's for ONE child, not two. So for the bare minimum of a husband, wife, and one child (China one-child policy style de facto) you need an income of at least $104,200 to support this while family unit on a single income... oh, and did I mention that the bare minimum annual income to qualify for most first-time mortgages now is $115,000 - over 10k more than that?
$104200 salary needed per year to satisfy the bare minimum of the nuclear family- that kind of income is even harder to get due to the fact that the economy has extreme degree inflation to the point where the only people who get this kind of income are either extremely skilled specialists with multiple time-consuming and costly college degrees (like Doctors, Engineers, Corporate Executives, Lawyers)- and a Bachelor's Degree alone only has an average starting salary of $58,000... and THAT'S if you manage to pick the right major- you may very well major in something that is crucial to the function of society and is a skilled profession in it's own right- but pays horribly. Teachers, essential to society, have abysmal annual incomes. Prison Guards, which are absolutely essential to society, sometimes make less than $17 an hour.
Compounding this is that only one in three Americans have college degrees at all- which absolutely SHOULD NOT be an absolute requirement to eek out a decent living, but society has morphed this to be the case. Far from it, 1 in 3 Americans make $15 an hour or less (minimum wage in most states- literal McDonalds wage) and half of all Americans can't afford a $400 emergency expense. And this is adding to the fact that to even get a college degree, or even alternate routes like Trade School, requires thousands upon thousands of dollars of debt you have to shackle yourself to- and face the possibility of it might not paying off (there's countless examples of people going to law school and not being able to pass the bar, as one example)
This isn't even going into the myriad of other problems the US has, like insane illegal immigration and the Federal Government pissing away trillions on pointless wars in the sandbox than actually improving their own crumbling infrastructure, that compound this issue. So this all more or less creates a enormous divide in the quality and standard of life between the rich and poor in the US, on par with Latin America and even African I would argue, and severely cripples upward mobility- especially for the younger generations. It's exactly the reason why an institution like serfdom in Tsarist Russia pissed people off to the point of destabilizing the country- if you rig the system so that only a certain clique of de-facto nobility and bluebloods have a shot at, more or less, the basic human condition of starting a family it's all going to get really ugly, really fast. Other countries in "the west" generally don't have this problem because they have generous welfare and social services (only possible, I will state, because they don't have a spend a penny on defense because the US military takes care of that for them) equal the playing field and give more "equality of opportunity" to their citizens regardless of whether they were born in poverty or not.

I see a lot of hot takes for and against 'dual income no kid' or childfree. The reasons can be retarded like climate change but the biggest and most significant one is cost of living. People are not going to live in a hovel with kids just because some boomer thinks young people owe it to them to reproduce. If you are not going to pay me serious amounts of money to have kids, then forget it. Im not talking tax credits, I mean cash. Childcare costs are soaring and since almost every retarded corporation insists on office only, I would have to find someone to watch the kids which is impossible this days. If you do have kids, you have to either homeschool them or go private to avoid globohomo and either of those options cost time and money. I haven't even gotten into healthcare costs yet.
We live in an time where people get 12 month financing to go to fucking Disneyworld. I can barely afford to keep up with rent and contribute to my savings as is. I know too many acquaintances who did everything right in terms of education and are still a wagies at a store or in the service industry making less than $25/hour. These people did not get history degrees either, they got STEM or business related ones. Having kids would be a millstone around their necks for them.
If they think the military recruitment crisis is bad now, it will only get worse in 20-30 years. It would be funny if global conflict reduced because no county has a fighting-age population able to sustain long term war.

The way the Cartels are parallel to Visigoths leads me to think the US will just lose the Southwest in the same way as Western Rome was lost. So we'd still have global conflict, but the US will actually have to fight a real war that it can't walk away from.

I really wish its that while some retarded idiots of the rich hanger ons go whitey bad the rich and the elite dont care much about that but about cheap labour also staying in power the easiest way to do that is to have various conflicts between ethnicities, genders and age groups to flood the public discourse and make people angry at something else instead to the fact that the elites are fucking you without lube or condom raw . Do you know how many times the YouTube algorithm tries to push women bad mkay on my page even though i am a woman with just interest in politics , drama and crafts. YouTube should be pozz central and women are holy and yet the algorithm pushes the most divisive and and woman hating videos on me .
Eh they will import from Africa where the average men grew up around violence and guns making them far better fit . They are already doing it now with the illegals offering them service guarantees citizenship or something else. No worries fam there is always meat for the meatgrinder

African war footage is the only footage I've ever seen where a soldier has emptied an entire magazine from an AK-47 at the enemy from point-blank range and missed every shot.

Made worse by the fact that this never needed to happen at all, but for the greed of people for whom enough will never be enough.
Like you said - many of them have STEM degrees. Tons of people got degrees in fields like engineering, software development, complex mathematics, chemistry, physics, you name it - only for every fucking company in the US to decide "Yeah, we're not going to do our manufacturing here, we'll give it to a bunch of sweatshop workers in China, India, and Pakistan to do it."
This wasn't ever a necessary cost-cutting exercise, this was a fucking race to the bottom inspired entirely by avarice, and the responsible parties did it knowing full well it would absolutely fuck people. You can never hate these fuckers enough.

He didn't get the chance to live old enough to re-evaluate that conclusion, unfortunately. He believed in his country, though, and that was a step towards re-evaluation,
Killed by friendly-fire, probably by a 88 iq groid who didn't know one end of its rifle from the other, and the faggot Army brass covered it up.

The two popular conspiracy theories are
1 Tillman was a spoiled pampered bitch who acted like he was better than his fellow troops, who ultimately decided to straight up murder him and got away with it via claiming it was friendly fire instead of a fragging
2. Tillman was writing to Chomsky and other high profile antiwar/liberal types while overseas and making arrangements with them so as to, after the end of his tour of duty, to leave the army and go full anti-war activist and speak out against Bush for the DNC. The military found out and arranged to have him murdered and martyred as a friendly fire casualty to silence him before the DNC could weaponize him against Bush

they believe that if you set the ladder sights to max range (1000 meters on a AK IIRC) that the gun will shoot harder.

That is incredibly doubtful. The situations are not quite similar. A state could declare war on the cartel in their state and deputize whoever to deal with them. Depending on the pres the fed might sue but thanks to Texas states in the future might tell them to pound sand.
I suspect the number of Romans packing substantial ordinance was far lower than the number of Americans with an arsenal.

They're just going to be meant to empty magazines into mobs of rioting/protesting Heritage Americans. Willingness to pull the trigger counts for more than competency to the people pushing this.

There was a fairly regular occurrence of friendly fire incidents in Afghanistan and Iraq, usually due to poor communication and an overabundance of stress. The idea that Tillman was fragged by accident isn't all that unbelievable in the wider context, but people want to make something of it because he looked handsome, was relatively well-known, and died at an inconvenient time for the military.

Hadn't heard those. Of course I never paid attention, and it's been 20 years since it happened.
No. 1 seems too intricate for the general idiots in the Army ranks. Murder is still murder, and more so under the UCMJ, so it seems unlikely people would take that plunge--you will be found out. It seems more of a stupid incident with stupid people and the Army knew it would fuck up their routines and recruitment goals.
No 2: We've seen this before, like Custer and John Kerry, so it could be possible, though without the coda. I could see a jumped-up NFL 'hero' with delusions of grandeur being taken in by the DNC's promises. Now that I know he was an atheist, it seems even more convincing, as he would be right on their team, and the right place at the right time.
So it sounds like a mixture of both; he was a spoiled bitch who was jockeying for future position politically, a moderately intelligent man who was out of his depth with typical 88 i.q. Army idiots, but the best laid plans got fucked up with a friendly-fire incident by same blithering idiots. Tillman lost, the Army lost, and the DNC lost, but it wasn't significant for the two latter entities, and it was filed away in a drawer like a bad dream they're grateful they awoke from.

In the 1930s, military-age German men invading territory they lost from a past war was met with outrage. In the 2020s, military-age Mexican men invading territory they lost from a past war is met with silence. Why the different reactions?
