JD Vance is a hillbilly from rural Appalachia.

There's basically no demographic who benefits less from the current Amerocan institutional status quo than people with Vance's heritage.
Appalachians have been getting shat upon by the powers that be for almost the entirety of the united states. The pill/heroine epidemic is just the latest in a long line of indignities.

It's really only them and the Native Americans who live in fucking utter garbage dumps and have been fucked so hard by the feds for years to the point where it's almost comical. Yet, apparently, in these DEI objectives to assist downtrodden folk, you never see them around.

Chances are that both of them are diabetic and working towards killing themselves with a bottle. I suppose they ain't that good lookin' for stock images and corporate diversity banners.
 
Which returns us to my point at the start about Economically Left + Socially Conservative being populist dynamite. People are typically fine with welfare programs, healthcare, education, etc. so long as it can be restricted to what they see as their group.

Most communist countries aren't that much different. The notion by modern progressives that communism would be some utopia for them to live out their ideal life as a writer and some kind of polycule is one of pure self delusion. Every country that has implemented some form of communism has invariably repressed those sort of people heavily if not killing them outright.

What Germany would have become economically if they happened to be successful is an interesting question. Hitler didn't mind leaving businesses in private hands as long as those hands were German and on board with his desire to conquer the world and eliminate those he deemed undesirable. If he did win, it is certainly possible that at that point we would see the usual platforms of socialism start to see implementation, but while the war was still going on it's clear that he didn't care who owned the factories as long as the tanks, planes, and bullets were being produced.

It will also be interesting to see what happens to many European countries (in particular the Scandinavian ones) that have had strong social programs in large part because they were ethnic monocultures. Now that many of them have imported significant quantities of migrants from very different cultures, I suspect that we'll see the broad support that those programs received in the past start to fade and that these countries will gradually move away from them.

I also don't understand why socialists in western countries just don't go start their own communes. The United States already has large communities like the Mennonites, Hutterites, etc. that do implement socialism, just on a much smaller scale. There's also nothing in a free market capitalist system that precludes anyone from forming an employee owned business, banking with a credit union, etc. Then again, I consider most of the people who consider themselves some form of socialist to be brain-rotted idiots that have no understanding of socialism and that it functions as something of a religion to them, only one where the promised paradise is not restricted to the afterlife but it something that they can achieve here on Earth.
 
Oh this shit gets better.


Some guy in a gray suit climbed up to the roof pretended to be secret service and got the cops to send him pictures of the dead shooter.



Apparently was an ATF guy.

Edit: the ATF confirmed it was one of theirs but have since gone silent along with secret service.
 
ATTENTION NORMIES: Vote for Kamala Harris. You don't want to be racist and sexist, do you?

The Democratic party will be taking a historic gamble if it turns to Vice President Kamala Harris to become its presidential candidate, betting that a Black woman can overcome racism, sexism and her own missteps as a politician to defeat Republican Donald Trump.
In other words, if you don't Vote for her, you are a racist sexist.

In more than two centuries of democracy, American voters have elected only one Black president and never a woman
Can you imagine that? We never elected a black in all the 1700s and even 1800s? Even the 1900s? Wow just wow much racism.
 
False fan who can't even recall the spelling of covfefe exposed!

Hello fellow MAGA caterpillars, I too am an American patriot. Do you fellow patriots own massive amounts of firearms like me or are part of a local militia? I'd love to hear about that, especially with specific names and locations

ISIS has always been at odds with Hamas. It you’re not with them you’re a heretic in their eyes.

Same deal with the Taliban in Afghanistan, the two groups have been fighting harder since America withdrew from the region. I remember hearing some speculation that the US been feeding the Taliban intel to help them combat ISIS better.

Difference is Caesar was assassinated by politicians in the opposing party, not a random citizen. That has no parallel in modern US history with assassinations or attempts going back to McKinley. Even if you say the CIA did JFK, it wasn't the Republicans and it sure as shit wasn't Barry Goldwater and Jacob Javits. You could, I suppose, make the case of the CIA/FBI/MIC being a party unto it's own however...


Damn, that guy is a real firebrand! He should run for President!

The alphabet agencies are closer to the Praetorian Guard assassinating an emperor than to the senators that stabbed Caesar to death since their roles were meant to protect the American republic, the Praetorians were created by Augustus to protect the future emperors of Rome but that didn't last very long after his death.

I'm going to be seeing more and more of this as the election gets closer. Look, I was a Bernie Sanders supporter in 2020 (this is a big reason why I still follow so many liberals on social media even though I now think they are insane) so I remember that the second biggest selling point for Biden was that he could "work with Republicans" to "get things done", so why doesn't he just do that?

Because Biden and the Dems know it's bullshit, their voter base is retarded and thinks the rhetoric is simply a face of life (REALITY HAS A LIBERAL BIAS!!!) and if I'm not mistaken the border bill that Mark Kelly is talking about is the one that Biden and the Dems tried to stuff full of pork and the bill also gave like 900 trillion dollars to Ukraine or something. Both of those issues caused the Republicans to pump the brakes.

I’m legit curious if someone at CNN realized the only reason their ratings aren’t completely in the shitter is because they’re played at every airport in the world. Cause while The Message is important, it doesn’t mean shit if there’s no where to Message from - they might just be trying to put out the ratings dumpster fire while the Dems are currently imploding, just writing off this election cycle entirely, and are Tard Wrangling as needed.

That or the crazies/True Believers have all jumped over to MSNBC - they seem completely unhinged nowadays.

There was a push at trying to make CNN more moderate starting in 2022 when they hired on Chris Licht as the CEO, from what I remember he moved hard to try to get a lot of the crazier personalities removed from CNN programming like Brian Stelter. Licht was fired in 2023 but I have to assume that CNN is still trying to make themselves look more like a moderate news agency.

Jen Psaki is going to burn the rest of her airtime right now on VanceRussia.

It's very easy to get into discussions about the political leanings of the NSDAP, especially when you get to more obscure figures like the Strasser brothers. The people who throw around the Trump-Hitler accusations generally don't care for the greater nuances when it comes to the complex analysis of economic and social policy of a regime that disappeared nearly 80 years ago.

All that they're probably concerned with is that Hitler is seen as an extremely evil and bad person in the eyes of the vast majority of Americans and that an easy thing to paint Trump as in order to effect his reputation. Their justification in doing what they do usually comes down to "the demonic Fuhrer was a nationalist and Trump is one also in a loose sense" which to them means they must be equal to one another.

They pick and choose highlights of Nazi Germany and then use projection on any Republican. The most annoying one I hate is the doomscaring over nationalism. It's a convenient, hypocritical complaint to make.

Nationalism is an abstract political force. It replaces things that bring people together like language, religion and cultural traits. In a mixed country like the US, it is nationalism that gets people to look beyond their little substrate of society to a larger view, to care about the fates of others that are totally unlike you. It is a potent idea that is also exploitable. Nationalism created Yugoslavia. Competing nationalisms tore it apart in the Yugoslav wars; most everyone believed (with strong evidence to back it up) that they were going to be subservient satellites of Serbia, and it devolved into a whirlwind of genocides.

Globalism eschews that and broadens nationalism to borderlessness: "the global citizen". If you think about it, it's absurd. The EU tries to reproduce the trappings of nationalism to a comical degree in its slow crawl to a federal Europe, while their pols talk out one side of their mouth about multilateralism. But you won't see any of those globalism cheerleaders criticize the structure of Russia or China, both of whom blanket their populations in nationalist signaling. Bitching about nationalism is only something they would do when they're politically stalemated and can't get anything that they want (so that's why Russia gets a little criticism but China doesn't).

Nationalism is not what made the Nazis evil. Being a proud citizen of your country does not mean you have ill intent. It's just ludicrous and a cheap imitation of intellectualism to argue this, leftist/libertarian or otherwise. Nazis picked up the nationalism flags and trappings left over by the Kaiser and the unification of "Greater Prussia" and discovered the potency nationalism offers. The Soviets were doing the same fucking thing.


Nationalism critiquers are just going to argue for globalism which is the same shit they argue against, just taken to it's final limit (Nationalism: Earth) so that it's meaningless.

I'm hearing unofficial reports big Mike is acting as a shadow manager for her and working on getting major donors.

It looks like Obama is backing Harris.
 
Nah, right wing extremist manlet with brown/Asian gf is so common it's practically a cliche.
Wait, how tf are Asians and browns even remotely comparable?
There are some incredible looking Asian females out there.

Just when I thought it couldn't get any more weirder. Just look at this guy.

Adds fuel to the conspiracy angle. Both Trump and Vance have talked of dismantling the ATF.
 
It started in 2010. Using online pressure and being very loud, groups of shitheads online learned they could apply pressure to companies over "sensitive" content and get them to capitulate. The second it happened more than a few times, it became their go-to "thing." One can blame Tumblr, but it was merely a new version of an old shithead behavior (The AFA's goons did this with old TV shows, to the point where they accounted for 99% of FTC complaints).
The left practiced and perfected modern targeted canceling of anything to the right of Marx with the "Flush Rush" movement. Every time any advertiser was on Rush Limbaugh's show, they'd organize mass phone calls / emails / letters through a Facebook group that used to be publicly viewable.


So say you're some politically neutral company. There's no such thing as social media, or if it does exist, it's so early in it's inception that no one knows about it. You put an advertisement on a popular right wing radio program.

Instantly, your phones go crazy with people complaining about having seen your product on [insert a whole shitload of buzzwords that means "bad person, not of our tribe"] show that's guilty of [badthink]. At the same time your computers are getting hundreds of thousands of emails of the same thing. Days into this, you start getting handwritten (and strangely similar printed) latters. Maybe your C level execs start getting personal calls, or your suppliers start asking why THEY'RE getting calls/emails/etc. All while this is happening, your marketing shithead is swooping in screaming bloody fucking murder -- unbeknownst to you, she's in the same facebook group organizing all this shit.

What do you do? You immediately drop the advertisements, of course. It would be 5+ years before this playbook became fully known and recognized, and even then, with marketing shitheads usually being lefty...

19,000 users, and private so you can't see anything now.

I'm sure similar groups exist elsewhere now, probably in various affinity groups targeting small groups of righty content.
 
Everything made sense when a kiwi first posted that statistic waaaaaaay back in this thread
There is no fucking way an entire generation just up and decided to be jobless or you can apply a thousand times and not get so much as a single fucking phone call. There are no jobs. It's already over.
A hundred million who should /could be working and aren’t? That’s an insane number. So that’s everyone 16 and over to death?
I’m trying to parse this in terms of the percentage of people who are of working age (16-64.) just a quick google says that’s a bit over 208 million. So you’re saying that half the population of working age aren’t working? If there are 208 million working age adults in the USA how many are working? Google is giving me numbers between 130 and 164 million employed. That’s still a very low number, even taking 16-21 years olds in education and housewives into account (I doubt that many can be housewives these days.) 70 million working age adults or a bit over a third of the working age population? Is that right?
 
Was it ever true that Trump charged secret service agents ridiculous fees for staying at his hotels, Mar A Lago etc? Some retard said to me that’s why Trumps detail was reduced/denied.
