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

 

[Coptakhenaten]

They're not affiliated with any actual Masons because they'd get kicked the fuck out for wearing Grandmasters jewels.
That's a blue lodge GM jewel (you CAN just buy them, and that's an off the shelf number) This man has never been the GM for California, (publicly on their website and it would be a bigger stink if he was) and since he's misusing the official regalia, he's obviously not affiliated with any real masonic organization, just LARPing... Now, whatever the fuck he's really into would be interesting because of how in with the local PDs he was. Got caught doing some shady shit and then claimed a bunch of secret society schizo stuff to make the people theorizing about it seem crazy.

Between the Illuminati, the Grand Orients, and shit like this, Masons can't seem to have a break with fake and gay offshoots making them look more sus than they already are.

 

[Jade Philosophies]

The reason why Academic Agent calls Trump the Return to Fresh Prince party is because the 90s were mostly like that show. Contemporary horror movies were scary, if stupid at times, because phones were not always easy to access. Hollywood actually deserved its status as a cultural hegemon because movies really were the pinnacle of charismatic actors in dramatic and comedic shows that weren't necessarily genre-based. Political Correctness was somewhat around, but normal people treated it as a joke, unlike today where Youtubers constantly remind us of how they have to invent fake and gay words like "unalive" to talk about a normal day. We can't even use the word MurderDeathKill as it would be the classier way to use a fake and gay word. The reason why everyone agreed to not say nigger is an unspoken agreement to not be racist; the word nigger was a social taboo in exchange for Black people not acting like niggers by and large.

A second Boomer Golden age, now that I think about it. A Boomer Silver Age, I guess.

Here's something you won't see again anytime soon. At least not like this. They wouldn't be able to get away with the sheer amount of political incorrectness that surged throughout most of the show. The Big Breakfast was a live breakfast TV show on Channel 4 in the UK shown on weekdays from 7am to 9am (but usually ran over a few minutes) and it was fucking hilarious! This particular clip is actually from 2000, but it started in 1992 with Chris Evans, Gabby Roslin & Paula Yates (and the funny alien puppets Zig & Zag) and these presenters are Johnny Vaughn and the smoking hot Denise Van Outen who both started in 1997. (Still with Zig & Zag, but not in this clip.)

If you guys are still dooming after all of what's happened for the last few months you should just neck yourselves already.

Stop fucking trusting polls, you dumb assholes. How many times do you need to be told they're DNC mouthpieces?

There's only so long they can keep the astroturf going on Kamala when they're putting up so many L's. RFK just aired out a shit load of dirty laundry. This would be catastrophic in any other election cycle, you're just completely captured by modern media spin.

Seriously, if you're on this site you should know better. Calm the fuck down.

Polling conducted in August is even more D biased than usual, because of right-leaners preferring to be on vacation rather than respond to pollsters. On top of that, you also have the DNC boost.

You look like a man. I guess that the end goal of this crit marxism / queer theory shit. Everything has to be ugly. Beauty is problematic. So nothing will be beautiful. That extends to everything.

[Kankichi Ryotsu]

Im starting to doom, in every poll kamala is way ahead of trump even in swing states like nevada.

Polls are meant to sway public opinion. If you see your dude is getting pummeled you won't be motivated to vote, so they gotta raise morale somehow. The real, accurate polls are internal and the parties won't show them to the public.

 

[Historical Strelkov]

A conspiracy theorist should assume that RFK has been running the "Health" side of Trumps administration this whole time, considering how little Trump talks about it.

The iPhone is basically what ruined everything for everybody.

The internet stopped being a separate "world" that people visited and instead everyone became online at all times. Even worst it allowed dumb people to always be online. Before, even with wifi, a person had to make a effort to be online and at least pay to have some one setup a connection once if they were too dumb to do it themselves. Now being online was a click of a button so even the worst retard/jeet/etc was able to start posting.

What you're describing is the concept that technology deprives individual humans of their value based on their real life traits. Instead, humans are now judged by their in-group social status, and how the "internet" feels about whatever flag the individual waves. It's not an interconnected hobbyist network of sites anymore. It's now a bureaucracy of information gathering and walled gardens. The internet has been able to condense all locations across the world into one place, and also binds everything into an eternal "15 minutes" of fame. Or alternatively, a 24/7 2 minutes of hate, or even a crack den for people to get their hit of 15 seconds of feelings and emotions. The (post 2007) internet also truncates communication into a few memetic statements and gestures that imply intent, discouraging expansive conversations with nuance, that could create a dialectic synthesis. (any argument over politics/religion is fucked). People would rather drop links on twitter to their base calling the other person and their group stupid and ignorant.
Because of the quantity of people who were enabled by smartphones to access discussion boards, the quality individuals, or smaller groups are drowned out by noise.
People are more racist online for example than they are in person, but just as much as they were in person 80-100 years ago. This creates a real schizophrenic mindset in my opinion across the board, that cannot remain the status quo.
50 years ago you could probably hide a bunch of things going on in real life by not reporting on it, since there was no internet, no cell phone cameras, or surveillance cameras, but now you have for example gangbanging teenagers posting their crimes on the internet. So it can go two ways.
Either the internet becomes more truthful, or it becomes more restricted.
I think its highly likely that the internet as that "separate place" will gradually not only conform back into the regular world, but that it's highly possible that it could break up based on regions or nations.
Look at what's happening in the UK, look at China.
The powers that be would much rather have an internet where everything you do is tracked and attached to your real life so that you have more to lose. Meanwhile, the internet was built on everyone being anonymous so that the content was judged instead of the person. It was a public space for journaling and publishing. But that was old world, physical thinking.
TL;DR
Quantity kills the culture of Quality, and Economy kills the Artistry. What results is an internet for lowbrow people run by corporations and governments in the exact same way the lowest common denominator in the real world brings down everyone for the same reasons.

Basically, Total Retard War.

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

Yeah yeah Kirstie Allen was also a Vulcan. I was going to say Qo'noS but nobody here knows that planet.

I prefer the simplicity of an interrogation chamber.

As for the discussion on polls: the ones showing Harris up over Trump tend to oversample Democrats and do not do any weighing. They're still putting their finger on the scales, but not as badly as 2016. They did this prior to the DNC to keep up appearances that switching out Biden for Harris without a single vote from anyone was the right thing to do.

We will all see what happens in November, but I'm not convinced that Kamala is going to win.

 

[Your Girlfriend's Dad]

Beauty is oppressive when you look like a monster.

It's funny though, I don't need somebody to look like a model, in fact I find it generally offputting. I want someone pretty, approachable, dare I say normal. Someone's whose beauty is something to be shared personally with someone they love. Whose value isn't derived from the latest instagram post.

On the other hand, I really don't want somebody who has neon hair and shrapnel in their face like they played tonsil hockey with a roadside IED.

Because we all know what that's for. We all know that person, inside and out, is just screaming, "PLEASE, OH MY GOD PLEASE FUCKING LOOK AT ME. I AM PHYSICALLY INCAPABLE OF HANDLING A MOMENT WHERE I AM NOT THE CENTER OF ATTENTION. CAN I BE AUTISTIC? YOU PAY ATTENTION TO AUTISTIC PEOPLE, RIGHT?"

That shit is fucking exhausting.

 

[Sekirodiealot]

Then she was a shit candidate and she'll take a page from Hillary and blame a "misogynist" and "racist" society for why she lost.

As she would

 

[Get the rope Macaulay!]

Oh yeah did you notice the Houthis just blew up an oil tanker carrying about 150,000 barrels

thats on the company, that area is known for pirates and everyone has been avoiding it like the plague, you're carrying millions in cargo you should know how risky going through there is. Oil tankers can't really be disguised and everyone knows its a big prize.

have to invent fake and gay words like "unalive" to talk about a normal day.

i'd say thats mostly better than the alternative, people forget that in the late 2010s every new word /pol/ used got banned and it was like a never ending treadmill to keep from getting the banhammer. Twitter was still doing that until Musk brought it because the censors actually gave a fuck. the chinks, despite everything else actually have it right here. Tiktok and X turn a blind eye, as long as you use a different word its ok. Sort of like how Frak was used on battlestar galactica, if the FCC really cared they would have gone "everyone knows what you meant" and slap it down too.

I guess another way to think about it is how some censors allow CP as long as its drawn and the little girl says "i'm actually 2000 years old" before hand, whereas the censors that actually care go, "no fuck that, we all know what you're really doing" like how australia says any woman under 1.5 meters tall is a child and its CP to fuck them.

Reddit used to be like the 1st category pre-trump. they'll ban a sub if the heat gets to be too much, but everyone could migrate to a new subreddit and its ok, thats why you had a dozen different meta subreddits. but post-trump the mods became the "y'all can't behave" types

A second Boomer Golden age, now that I think about it. A Boomer Silver Age, I guess.

this isn't even a new take, when trump first ran people were saying the same thing, the meme from the matrix about 1999 being the peak of society was true in most people's minds. combine that with Millennials being the silver age version of boomers, it makes sense to treat those like "the good old days"

And that mentality is also why hollywood has really stopped making media set between the present and the 1980s, or if it is set in the 90s its usually made by/for immigrants. China has a fuck load more media set in either the 90s,2000s or 2010s than the US ever will, which sort of makes sense if you consider those years as their "growth period"

A great example is how "goodbye mr.loser" and "yesterday" have mostly the same plot, except whereas the western one is about a dude recreating the beatles, the eastern one is about a dude recreating recent music. thats because the west holds nostalgia for a hilariously distant past, whereas the east does not.

its especially crazy when you look at media in the 20th century, where you'll have films like The Wedding Singer or The Deer Hunter where its set only a dozen years ago and mostly accurately but now zoomers might as well assume HW Bush was succeeded by Obama. its insane how there are more films and tv shows set during HW Bush's 4 years than 1993-2024 combined.

when the iPhone made smartphones commonplace

the early iphones were shit, AT&T having a monopoly on them in the late 2000s really fucked over a lot of people in the US. its why you had so many shitty knock offs. once the 3gs came out then it became way more popular, especially because that's when they started the whole "get last gen iphone for a penny" scheme, if you notice once apple let anyone carry the iphone then stuff like the windows phone and droid (not android) and blackberry all died out hard. your options then became either apple or samsung and now google pixel. with smaller niche phones

. Even internet slang is mostly from then. There's been very little new to really take off since 2005-08.

thats not true, you think that because you were born in the late 80s, but insta didn't exist then and neither did twitter or twitch or a shitload of other websites, they were still calling it justin.tv and it was a bitch to use in 2007. It was still the era of new websites popping up and crashing. you didn't have anyone thinking about the future. but the average person is still using the same websites they were in 2011, reddit was a distant 3rd even behind tumblr in 2013. Wojaks certainly weren't the genre they are now back in 2008, what was the big meme then? the hole guy right?

even content creators, the top ones from even 2011 mostly have vanished or gotten real lives. most websites took until like 2010 to even optimize for mobile, instead using the sides of the pages for the hilarious amount of links.

cable modem service

i had a 150 megabit connection by wire back in 2011, and you still can't get that today on a lot of smart phones, wifi really slowed down speeds in a way that probably set back a lot of websites.

Chuck fixing some nokia or regular phone for Sarah in order for her to make contact and put the plot in motion

i love chuck, it feels like someone from today making a series about the 2000s, you forget in the pilot he saves the day by getting a computer a porn virus. He even gets the super tech genuis stuff because he figures out a riddle in ZORK, which was like that generation's version of Disco Elysium in terms of memes and recognizability by "nerds" Also the entire concept of social genres beyond skin color or that its about more than rocking an outfit is something you don't see in our "diverse" society much anymore. everyone's a mutt that watches anime and orders food via online and has tattoos.

The first Iron Man

and the guy uses a real camera for the photo, and tony says "don't put this on myspace" its even funnier when the retcons make that film take place in like 2010.

 

[Rimanah]

Im starting to doom, in every poll kamala is way ahead of trump even in swing states like nevada.

What? I could only find one poll on RCP that has Harris ahead of Trump in Nevada, and that was Bloombergs from the end of last month.
If you’re going to doom post, at least base it off something real.

 

[WhimsicalTrolli]

I also love the low-key insult; "that's not a man! All Arab women look like men without make-up!!".

It's nice to know he feels that way about his half Arab daughter. It's strange white dudes who procreate interracially are usually the most racist.

 

[pwnest injun]

Polls are meant to sway public opinion. If you see your dude is getting pummeled you won't be motivated to vote, so they gotta raise morale somehow. The real, accurate polls are internal and the parties won't show them to the public.

Also, the betting market is back to favoring Trump. Money talks.

 

[ZMOT]

Well, that's it for today. Hope you enjoyed this special look into all the texts you should be glad you're not receiving, and remember:

holy shit not even gachaniggers get treated that way, and they spend money on sexy animu jpegs.

He's watched a ton of anime and raised his power level.

now I have to imagine trump picking up some 10/10 chick, bringing her to his hotel suite, ordering mcdonalds and putting on evangelion instead.
literally /oneofus/

Dude has a lot of good points. Hopefully more people hear them and Trump can make good use of him in the Cabinet. RFK with a mandate from Trump, who doesn't care about The Swamp or The Rules could upend Washington. This could remake our country.

said it before, but one of the worst parts about modern "democracy" is that never hiring the best person for the job, but who sucks dicks the best in your own party. if trump can establish getting some independents or even former democrats on board, governments might be less retarded in the future (I know this deserves some rainbow stickers).

 

[Sammich]

Im starting to doom, in every poll kamala is way ahead of trump even in swing states like nevada.

The one poll that has harris ahead is still in the MOE, we are just now getting into the final stretch, don't give up hope too much. A lot of others have posted responses, but polling is designed to make you give up and black pill/doom.

I can buy that, but he was claiming the crazy shit before he got arrested in the sting operation. It's all very curious

Between the Illuminati, the Grand Orients, and shit like this, Masons can't seem to have a break with fake and gay offshoots making them look more sus than they already are.

Look the masons have a bad rap for a reason. I got a book on em I need to read but at the very least Freemasonry has an anti Jesus ideology and a lot of shady shit when it comes to becoming part of them

You have to swear oaths under the threat of death while blindfolded with a sword at your neck. They say it's just a lark ceremony but no. I don't think so, oaths have real power.

From what I've heard there's indications that the higher ups worship devil shit and participate in intentional subversion of religion. The lower rung guys don't know what's going on and treat it like a club.
