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

Lmfao source is dead for me. I kept refreshing and it says the archive is offline now. Hopefully temporary, I am not knowledgable on back end internet stuff. But thanks for sauce

here's a screencap. still works for me but I'm on a VPN, so who knows

 

[Getting Tard Comed Jr]

Republicans, specifically Trump, is never winning the black vote. It's impossible. LbJ was right and there are 40 more years till his promise is up.

That said, winning the black vote isn't the point. Dems need 90%+ of the black vote to win an election. No democrat has won the presidency without 90%+ of the black vote. In 2016 Trump got something are 12%, in 2020 it was 8%. Some of that is due to cheating. Trump is currently polling around 25% of the black vote. If it stays around that level there is no way he loses. That's the point of the continued outreach Trump is doing. Idk if that is the correct strategy but it's clearly one he's going for.

 

[Quence]

Democrats run all cities, including the well-run cities.

Definitely not.

Republicans aren't competent and don't run on competence. Cutting taxes and then playing with your dick for four years isn't competence.

Oh I don’t know….the Trump administration did quite well until the covid nonsense reared its head. Even their Tax Cuts and Jobs Act got the desired results (until covid). The US having the highest corporate tax rate in the developed world never made sense.

Also for God's sakes cancel, use fmovies sites. Google/youtube are bad enough, but..

 

[Barry McKockner]

That's only a problem in societies that are both highly diverse and pluralistic, such as ours. A society can countenance some diversity if it is clearly run by one group, for one group, and all other groups exist at the pleasure of that group. America is held back from this because the dominant narrative about it is that it is a secular civic nation with no guiding faith or ethnos, just a collection of ideas or propositions. America is, in fact, white Christian, specifically English Protestant. Modern America needs a renewal of faith and some kind of serious ethnogenesis once the border is shut or it is totally doomed.

You're proving my point that it requires either subjugation or re-education, and race/religion has nothing to do with this. Even if you were to remove everyone from that US that wasn't specifically white christians, you would STILL have the country going downhill because a white christian in florida is way different than a white christian in california, which is vastly different than a white christian in idao.

So no, it's a problem in EVERY society. The farther power gets away from the people, the faster your society will crumble without resorting to some form of authotarianism. The minute people see that they have a say in other people's lives, they always push to use power where they wouldn't if it only affected them. This has been tested time and time again across various ethnicities and religions, even government structures, and it always rings true.

 

[The Blue Morpho]

Nobody who wants power should be allowed anywhere near it.
Can’t remember who said that but I think of it often.
When you think about historically ‘strongmen’ taking power, there’s a payoff in that if you lived in a scenario of bands of warring tribes, you want the biggest strongest bastard you can in charge. Even better if he’s a humane but deadly philosopher king (highest form of government?)

It’s not just women ruining the world - nowadays you don’t need physical power to do the power thing, and that’s allowed people who would never have had a chance at it to get hold of it. Those people are of lesser quality.
Back to the philosopher warriors, you can see why that was the ideal. You had the strength tempered with a strict moral code. Your big man would fight to keep the group safe but not abuse the group. Now we have neither of those things. The selectors for power are purely how far you will go and base cunning. Neither of those guarantee quality.
Base cunning has always been a factor of course - back to a biology analogy, in deer the big stag who is the best quality gets the harem and fathers the majority of the offspring, but there’s a bit of sneaking around the edges by smaller more cunning stags of lower quality. What happens to the group if the big stags are all gone and the weedy sneaky ones gather all the babies for a few generations? Clearly nothing good, because deer grow those massive (and they’re a big drag on them) antlers and fight to the death to be the best.

TPTB love the sex wars because if men and women realised that strong communities and families were the way out of this mess, we’d all start working together

I managed to archive it just fine.

No no no, it has a lot to do with ethnicity and religion. These things are the substrate for stable and prosperous societies. They hold disparate communities together, and they represent a real confluence of biological heritage and metaphysical vision.

What you're talking about is the tendency towards centralization, which is a problem in all societies because the velocity of power favors centralization. The two things are true at once.

 

[BarkBeetle]

You have always had a right to marry. Marriage is and has always been that social institution by which a man and a woman form a family unit, providing both parties and their children with the stability afforded thereby.

Blah blah blah, Moralize instead of not giving a fuck and see how far that gets you nowa days.

Complain about sex in the streets of SF and I'm sure they will all flip red. Pain and Pleasure are the reasons people start and stop behaviors, and degenerate lifestyles cause a lot of pain.

And if you want to get all preachy do what they used to do and find the most broken and pained and manipulate them.

I like this video by Jimmy Dore on Kamala.

 

[pwnest injun]

So Trump beating Hillary was the funniest possible outcome of 2016.
Alzheimer's patient Joe Bidien winning in 2020 has proven to be far funnier than just 4 more years of Trump.

So I think the real question for 2024 is whether it's funnier for Trump to get back in and stomp holes in all the assholes who cheated him in 2020, or if it's funnier for Mohammad Bin Salman to make *gluk-gluk* noises and mime a blowjob while Kamala Harris tries to negotiate oil down from $120 a barrel.

Holy shit Israel is eating good

 

[StarkRavingMad]

This is how women exert power in society. You’re not strong enough to exert power with physical might. if women wanted power (and women have done, don’t doubt that) you do it using males as proxies if you want to control males and society, and you do it via consensus to control females.

In the older world, this is Agrippa, or a matriarch controlling her daughters in law because her mother in law made her life hell. In the modern world, you’ll get groups of women. One queen bee, a subgroup of women below that who are enforcers, and below them, the mass. Always a few outcasts to really flex in as well. The bee will set the tone of what’s allowed and sic her enforcers hard on anyone who objects or challenges. This ends up with the mass auto policing and also going after dissenters in the hope that they will go up the hierarchy. Women who are not outcasts but do not play along are met with quite astonishing amounts of vitriol. If you’d like a Hollywood version, go watch Heathers. We wear pink on Wednesdays, Gretchen.

Our problem now is that this power mode is being used across the whole of society, rather than mummies groups and church committees in small villages. Women care desperately about fitting in because ostracism is social death. There’s work done in some primates that have these hierarchies as well, and the lower down females get so stressed they actually get sick. It’s clearly deeply embedded in us

The perfect post doesn't exi-

(Seriously though, spot on.)

 

[Anasûrimbor Kellhus]

Basically what you're saying.. These types of women are ruining the world irl and should never be in power, and that frankly means all women with much power. All bitter, destructive, and hateful behind the sheen.

thank you I'm gonna have nightmares about that video forever. I don't think I could ever be so down bad that I would consider spending any amount of time in the physical presence of any of those demonettes.

 

[CHARizard]

We know that Iran has been funding and encouraging some of the protest activity here in the US

 

[Dumbledore's Onlyfans]

Buttplug isn't just incompetent-- he's negligent.

His entire tenure as Secretary of Transportion has been much like Kamala's tenure as Border Czar: "Oh shit ... You expect me to actually do stuff? I don't wanna!"

'Member when Buttgag took that super-long maternity leave in 2021 because he and his husband-wife adopted a child and it was coincidentally right in the middle of the Afghanistan failure?

 

[Local Farmer]

I hope Matt Drudge got a pretty penny, especially for his name to still be tied to a septic tank like this.

He probably committed suicide by shooting himself in the back of the head twice

 

[The Nothingness]

feels like there's some sort of joke to make juxtaposing them with two action figures of the same character from grossly different toy lines

One is from the official toy line, the other is the bootleg.

Wow. Thanks for that. Somewhat related...
I started this Adam Curtis documentary series a couple days ago that talks about how Sigmund Frued's nephew and then daughter helped shape the psychological aspects of advertising onward to thought manipulation... I cant archive on mobile but here is the yt link- 'The Century of Self' if the playlist starts on a different thing for whatever reason. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DnPmg0R1M04&list=PLe7-icrCxJrW80FLy7XtLKFC1U3btSF2S&index=35&pp=iAQB

Im halfway through the 2nd part only though. My favorite part so far is how they got housewives to buy Betty Crocker Cake Mixes because initially it flopped hard... they decided the housewives felt guilty for not home making the cakes for their husbands, so they included the instruction to add 1 egg (not included) so it felt more 'home made' and sales exploded. I believe later in the series it builds up to bot farms and journalism techniques on how thought is influenced today but I havent seen all of it to say how far forward in time he explores. His documentary 'Hypernormalization' is very much that. Basically a 'how we got here'
