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

 

[LurkTrawl]

I do not agree that setting aside one's principles simply because the other side does not have any is correct.

That is not what I said, and this misunderstanding is the chief problem I was attempting to elucidate.

Put in a way I hope is clearer, their principles are what put them in the situation. Your principles, had they not the pride to dismiss them, would've kept them clear of it.

A logical-extreme example would be feeling sorry for a serial killer getting murdered in cold blood. It's just as absurd, logically speaking.

eventually occams razor

It's a razor, not a compass.

So, they spend a while radicalizing a young man who is primed for it, letting him plan, knowing PA is a swing state and therefore they are guaranteed a rally there at some point.

I don't mean to be quoting you so much, but the thing is I had a bit of an epiphany the other day.

I noticed yet again that there's this odd problem that keeps showing up in our society, and it's that even people who should be immune to the bullshit spewed out of the establishment mass media still tend to have some level of buy-in that they can't get rid of - like so many here even regulars buying into the idea that Crooks wasn't a leftist, or that the motive is indiscernible, or that Yearick was possibly the shooter. Nonsense people that had read good evidence a scant few pages prior that seemingly got knocked out of their head, oddly. I notice this with people I actually know irl too, as well as some of the 'independent media' folks.

It occurred to me then that some-the-fuck-how mass media over the generations since its inception with radio, has turned into the fucking Dawn Machine. Now this is not meant to be precisely literal and I promise I'm making a point, so humor me for a second.

Through whatever psychological fuckery it is that the presence of these 'authoritative' voices manage to pull, your average westerner is conditioned to give veracity to these charlatans even if you're aware of how full of shit they are. Meaning if you're just some unaware shmuck - a demographic shrinking by the day - you're going to be giving the benefit of the doubt to these institutions but you're not necessarily mind-wiped. Probably because you don't pay too much attention to it, and get small doses of it. But everyone exposed to it ends up influenced by it, including the people who built the fucking thing.

But for the people whom are now inter-generationally involved in watching this shit, they might as well be New Sequencers devoid of anything that isn't complete loyalty to the machine. They're not just the people who worked on/in the machine and thus got brainwashed, they're people who've been soaking in the fucking thing's rays from infancy. Even the people who worked in/on the damn thing aren't so far gone.

So I don't think he needed any kind of instruction past the rhetoric on T.V. and elsewhere espoused by the establishment. I don't think any of them do, and frankly I think we're at a point where there's a generation of people who've been effectively brought into this shit and there's no possible way to undo the damage. I also think this is the reason that the 'important' people in the system have been seemingly so delusional/getting high on their own supply, the damn thing is out of their control and has effectively started a recursive loop of the establishment lying to itself and believing its own credulity.

TL;DR: we have a brainwashing machine that's recursively brainwashing the people who tell the brainwashing machine what to indoctrinate people to believe. There's other... implications to be had from this but yeah, I think we're legit dealing with New Sequencer-style contagious insanity not some convoluted assassination plot.

does anyone have the video of the shooter out in the street talking about killing fascists or something like that.

 

[MudPeople]

It's amazing that despite how much the US criticise Russia and China, the Democrats wants to be the only party in the US. Maybe one day Republicans will be sidelined into some obscure minor party and the two main parties are Democrats and Neo Democrats just to keep things form looking like a dictatorship.

 

[Maldavius Figtree]

He used an assault rifle

Not a fucking assault rifle.

"Why would a man who had just been shot care about his shoes?!"

i hate Redditors, I hate leftists, I hate faggot Twitter users. All of these pieces of shit need some hardcore grass touching. There should be BOTH mandatory military training - just make it a month or two crashcourse on getting up early, learning some basic physical life skills and shooting a rifle - and mandatory civil service - come face to face with people facing real hardship and trauma.
None of these faggot retard posts I have to see would be made all of social media. That’s all shit of people who live through mass media consumption and play out most interactions inside their head. Oh I bet he deliberately shot his ear, why did the police not aim for the knife attackers leg, why did derek chauvin not try to just have a nice chat with a 200 pound drugged as fuck paranoid gorilla, why did that person who nearly got domed two seconds ago not do the one totally 100% logical thing I came up with sitting on my ass.

 

[ibeatmywife]

The left wing media wanted this to happen to Trump they outright asked for it and are culpable. They need to be held responsible for this.

The flight path of the bullet may be altered by the bullet deflecting off metal, bone, or a particularly stiff erection.

I learn something new here every day.

At first, I thought it was funny that Destiny was being wrung through the wringer over his 50 hour spergout. But seeing people getting cancelled for expressing their opinions will always be really fucking gay.

I'm also disappointed in Libs of TikTok for doing this shit. I guess she already forgot about all the shit Taylor Lorenz did trying to Karen her into silence.

I don't. They made the rules of engagement and I intend to hold them to it if I can.

I find I am incredibly apathetic here. Yes on the principles I should oppose it... I am just finding it hard to -care-. They have done this so long to the right that I think the schadenfreude of it is about equal tot he moral indignation. So its just.... nothing.

I'm fine with it because they fucking reveled in doing the exact same not even a week ago, and they wouldn't hesitate for a picosecond if the shoe was on the other foot.

My sympathy for them ran out in 2016.

 

[Maldavius Figtree]

Stop projecting your shit onto everyone else. Idiot.

People, no matter what political leanings they may have, should be able to attend peaceful political rallies without having the fear of some nutjob killing them.

Doesn't matter how dumb I think these people are ... If they are there to hear their candidate speak (or hell, if they are there just to hear the candidate out because they are undecided voters, even), then that is their damn right and nobody should make them feel like they can't do so.

If I read that some father died at a Biden rally from shielding his entire family from bullets like a hero, you bet your ass I would cry for him and his family.

This. But also, the last time one of us shot at some of them, it was clear cut self defense and he hit a domestic abuser, a robber and a child rapist, so honestly: I laughed.

There is one Hitler speech I caught a tiny part of in some trash documentary once, many years ago, and understanding German, it must’ve become subconsciously stuck in my head.

At risk of getting myself on a list whenever I’ve heard Hitler’s speeches translated to English they sound like apt critiques of international globalism.

It was always described to me that how Hitler spoke was convincing, but the more I hear of his speeches I start to think it was more like what he spoke.

 

[AnotherPleb]

The Justification in my mind would be something like "These people want to kill their political enemies, if we make them less powerful and remove them from positions they wll have less influence" but that only is really the case if you're going after people with influence in companies. I don't think you should do it though. Bad tactics and bad targets.

Yeah, I don't give a shit. Not when they reveled in doing this.




They only squeal for sympathy because they think you're dumb enough to give it to them. Where's that sympathy from them regarding the firefighter that died shielding his wife from a bullet meant for Trump?

Of course. Nationalism is the antidote to globalism and global communism. That's why the Nazis and Communists hated each other so much, and that's why constituent parts of the USSR becoming more nationalistic is what killed it

here's what im referencing, its the shooter yelling about killing fascists and slashing republican throats.
does anyone have the video.

That video has been posted a few times here and i never saw anyone post real proof thats the shooter.

 

[AnotherPleb]

Taps the sign:

These people want you broke, homeless, and dead. They want your wife and daughters raped and murdered. And they think it's funny.

Pardon me if I don't cry for people getting what they deserved, who got so used to spewing vile garbage everywhere while destroying people lives for FUCKING FACIAL EXPRESSIONS to the point that million dollar lawsuits for ruined lives had to happen.

They have depersoned thousands of people over the years.

Now they can take their medicine.

I don't give a fuck.

The whole "what if the situations were reversed" will be on Conservatism's headstone.

But now it is reversed.

It's time for the Left to remember what fear tastes like.

I spare no pity for someone that wouldn't give me any.

To throw their own words back into their faces:

"When you get treated like everyone else, it feels like oppression."

I'm going to revel in reminding them of that on every occasion possible.

But I don't really feel anything for them, because starting 10 years ago I realized that if I ever used any form of Internet media under my own name I would be subject to leftists doing this exact same thing.

These individuals live in parts of American society that are so homogenous and vile towards conservatives that they honestly believe it's normal to say these things. Every single one of them would want both you and me exiled from society for having an account on KF, once they read what the Wikipedo troons have slanderously written about the forum.

This reckoning has been due for a long time and they know it.

I like the one story where Coolidge was at a party, and as he was known for barely saying anything most of the time, some random guy came up to him and said, "Hey Cal, I bet this other guy that I could get you to say more than 3 words right now," and Coolidge smiled at the guy and then said, "Go fuck yourself." And then he stayed silent for the rest of the night.

Totally fucking based.

He actually said "You lose."

why do these freaks all look the same.
is that phenotype the retard schizo phenotype, or does looking like that cause people to treat you a certain way turning you into a retard schizo.

 

[LurkTrawl]

That video has been posted a few times here and i never saw anyone post real proof thats the shooter.

If it's the one I think it is someone posted it a few days ago and it was just some random leftist from 4 years ago, not Crooks.

 

[WeeKee Leeks]

Globalism is inevitable, But it doesn't have to be the shitty globo homo open borders race to the bottom crap.
If we're ever gonna be interstellar earth will have to be united in some way, everyone just needs to get on the western civilization train, it should be about excluding those that aren't ready to bb part of a global community and uplifting and rewarding those nations that better themselves. not exploiting the fact that theres still slaves in some parts of the world so we can fuck over everyone in our own nation.

 

[Dog-O-Tron 5000v5.0]

I used to be able to keep up with this thread without highlights, but it still hasn't died down since Saturday.

It sure doesn't help that there's 300 daily posts about Destiny, and now Vaush.

Are there any other lolcows with hot takes on Drumpf we can make bring into here and make this their secondary thread? Is Nick Rekieta saying anything wacky about the assassination? Anyone want to do status updates on how The Quarterpoundering is getting "flaaaged" over what he's saying?

Give me your negates but man,

 

[Knight Air]

Turnabout is fair play. Don't feel bad for the morons getting canceled because they thought they could get away with fedposting on twitter.

 

[Dr J]

Globalism is inevitable

No it isn't. Nothing is inevitable, except entropy

If we're ever gonna be interstellar earth

We will likely never even leave our own star

 

[AnotherPleb]

your right its all fucking gay.

What the people on the right are feeling with this gay shit is catarathises, if cancel culture is the rules than these fuckers get to play by their own rules.

They were able to destroy a person's life for agreeing with Trump all the way to those bullets being fired Saturday. Why should I show sympathy for finding out that they shouldn't post dumb shit attached to their real name?

Yeah, they need to learn that there's a reason why we have standard expectations and moral standards. Rules for thee and not for Mee is simple abuse of the system.

The problem is that they are very into making everything equal when they are on the losing end, but then going might makes right when they are winning.

And they fully intend to retreat into academia again if they get the chance.
