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

 

[Stupor Mario]

Something I've learned in the last 24 hours is that Americans are more willing to kill other Americans than they are to kill Russian/Chinese/Iranian soldiers. It's weird because even though Dems/Reps are different, Americans with different political ideologies still have a lot more in common with each other than these three rival nations.

Family fights are always the most bitter ones. We're also talking about people who have never actually been through the horrors of civil war or (for the most part) any war. People are talking tough and turning up the hyperbole about things they know nothing about.

This thread is making me genuinely depressed when I read the twitter posts and general opinion of random nobodies posted. The Irreparable differences between "right" and "left" (us vs them) and genuine inability to separate politics from common life seems to be more extreme everyday. It feels like there the only final solution is complete civil war between the two parties. Democrats seem to have grasped that this almost sparked said event today with Biden immediately doing damage control and stating we should "come together" and "tone down the rhetoric used".

Am I wrong in feeling this way? Was politics always like this before 2016? Any thoughts regarding would be appreciated.

It's all relative. For example, politics were very contentious in America during the '60s. There were crazy riots and shootings and protests and real unrest. If you talk to people who lived through it, nobody really knew what was going to happen. There was a feeling of potential revolution in the air. Things got pretty polarized during the GW Bush presidency, too. The "War on Terror" created and absolutist us vs. them atmosphere. The GW Bush regime was arrogant and hostile towards anyone who didn't share their vision.

I'd say what we're seeing now is pretty bad, though. At least, it's the worst political atmosphere I've experienced in my lifetime. The thing that's different now is that you have a coordinated propaganda ideology that has it's tentacles in everything. It's the most unified propaganda system I've ever seen in America where everything has been politicized and polarized.

But, you also have to remember that the internet is not real life. Social media is not real life. If you log off and talk to most regular people out there, they aren't nearly as crazy as most people who are posting on the internet.

Even if Milwaukee is not as big as we want to believe, it is a possibly that some crazed young lunatic part of the group may want to do a copy-cat shooting or worse try to harm attendants of the RNC. Never underestimate crazy people because then when the unexpected happens, you are disarmed. This particular ANTIFA account connected with Unicorn Riot keeps making vague posts about Milwaukee and certain RNC attendants especially retweeting this tiktok:

But also remember focusing on the shooter’s identity, the BlackRock stuff and generally any new information regarding the shooter is important.

Remember how the riots stopped after the Rittenhouse shooting?

Yeah. That. That's exactly what will happen as you're not dealing with creatures of conviction, but particularly stupid sheep.

Sums it up nicely. There is this weird idea that there is going to be some kind of massive throw down in the streets. Jusy like the rittenhouse shooting though beyond a small criminal element most are gonna be like that guy in the backround caught getting head on video.

They wanna be seen as doing good so long as you get the trouble makers arrested the worse they do is block traffic and litter.

if glowies are fckin around on kiwifarms, they're really trying to figure out someone to pull the "does anyone wanna pull a le terror" act that could hypothetically be used against Trump's chances of victory

sorry glowniggers, I've already pronounced the Curse of Saint Terrence Andrew Davis on all of you. Anything you try won't have the payoff you want

Dried blood looks kind of like the boot shape of Italy and beef jerky.

People aren't even using the highlight feature anymore.

I've seen the Blackrock commercial posted at least 7 times, and now the synagogue pictures of a totally different person at least 5 times. Some duplicate posts have been highlighted 3-4 times.

I was really hoping that the changes Dear Feeder made to the reaction score would disincentivise people from rushing to post the newest "info" (I know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who saw this screenshot in a Discord) or some meme that even a cursory read along the highlights would show has already been posted.

But I guess double-checking is too much of a risk since, as we all know, not being the first to post something and getting the associated thumby uppies shrinks your e-peen by 20%.

A good friend of mine who is a lawyer his mother lived through the afghani civil war and she would tell him and me when we're having conversations about it that some days she would go to work and a few less people would be there they were killed.
There's actually a good book I forget what it's called about someone who survived the break up of Yugoslavia it was not pleasant it was a horrible thing that happened he literally had to hide out in this house in the rubble for years shampoo and soap is one of the first things to run out.

I forget where I heard it but I'll never forget the story of a guy covering some war in the Middle East, two or so city blocks from the fighting, and people are just in a restaurant having lunch while bombs go off.

You also have to remember that humanity is great at compartmentalization, even as a group. You could have a "civil war" in the cities and people innawoods not even know about it. Or vice versa I guess.

Reminder that Rittenhouse both logically and legally did nothing wrong

I've seen this posted around. You guys can figure out what you make of it.

There were quite a few different reactions behind him. Some more in shock/confused, some immediately ducking for cover, some enthralled/video taping like her. I think her reaction isn't what's weird here, it's that her video has not made it to the public yet still.

 

[Cybrwind]

Besides another attempt, what could happen between now and Nov to top this?

• UFO disclosure (The big one)
• Pandemic 2
• Stock market collapse

I could see it taking time to source her and asking to release the information, she must’ve experience a freeze response to the panic which is perfectly natural. I’ve only seen 2-3 different perspectives of the rooftop shooter so this stuff is coming out slow unless if witnesses volunteer it.

It’s sad when all 3 of those are equally likely to happen in conjunction.

I kind of follow the Sam Hyde perspective on riots and these demonstrations. They are celebrations by the left that they can destroy your cities and ruin your life without consequences. Bringing a gun to that and pretending you can fix things, just ruins the vibe and is asking for trouble.

Rittenhouse was right, but you should know that a blood wearing colors in crips territory is gonna get iced no matter what he's doing there.

I was wondering why random blank accounts were suddenly liking everything I was posting on the Destiny thread.
