systems of WWII, like the Matilda, the Hurricane, the Spitfire, the Asdic, and the radar network, were a result of Chamberlain's rearmament program. Ribbentrop communicates Germany's Lebensraum & genocide plan to Churchill as an intermediary to ask the government to back off and let Germany kill millions of people without trouble. Churchill says "lolwut r u serious rofl

I feel bad for chamberlain as he gets unfairly castigated as a borderline quisling by historical illiterates.

Trump's strategists are masters of distraction. He's getting his cabinet together and Middle East policies mapped out and his enemies are REEEing at an AI Boomer Humor image of him annexing Canada.

I ain't religious no more, but there's a verse somewhere in the Bible of a king who prays to God to make his enemies stupid.

Looks like it occasionally works.

Correct. Why do you roll your eyes at the thought of abolishing it?

I do not think that a complete abolition of the Department of Education is a good idea because it does provide significant federal aid to school districts, some of which need them because their state/community is poor. I know the response to that is "these districts waste their money/the teachers want to trans the kids," and it's not wrong, but this is a double-edged sword in my opinion. What needs to happen is people need to get in control of their school boards, kick out the perverts, start holding their teachers and school administrators accountable, stand up to the unions (which are powerful), and run these districts correctly. Simply pulling federal aid will not accomplish this - school boards controlled by globohomos and/or trannies will simply tighten their belt and lash out.

Just my two cents.

The CEO of United Healthcare was killed in midtown NYC this morning, looks like a hit if it goes by how the suspect loitered and targeted him. I fully expect this to be spun into the guy was an RFK supporter.

When something becomes too damaged its logical to want to tear it down and start over. Trying to fix something that is fucked up is harder and more expensive.

Nobody wants to live through the tear down and rebuild. But nobody has the discipline to see through the renovation either.

That same logic extending means the Colonials shouldn't have rebelled against the Crown and "try to reform the system from within" (lets avoid the back and forth where you give an example of them trying and i give you an example where other colonials would shit on those efforts).

At a certain point a system becomes unsalvageable. Accelerationists believe we have hit that point already. Most maga people believe most government organizations are deeply corrupt and exist to further themselves and not forward their mission.

When does an organization hit a point of no return and cant be reformed in your mind?

Not everything requires a full tear down and rebuild. The thing that makes American institutions resilient is that you can renovate without doing anything drastic. This means staffing better people and changing policies.

The situation that the Colonials faced is not the same as what the US faces with the Department of Education. Not even close, so that's apples to oranges. The Department of Education is not forcing Americans to pay ludicrous taxes and demanding Americans disarm themselves or face arrest.

I generally disagree with accelerationists, so - respectfully to you - I do not think you and I will see eye-to-eye on this issue.

What the shit said:
While the possibility of that is unbelievably slim, Canada would never allow their territory to go into the hands of America. Their whole history is "not being America." It would be not only an economic blow but a morale blow.

And how pray tell is Canada going to stop America and its own people from saying yes?

This petty shit comes from the fact that Biden -was not supposed to do this-. The Presidential Pardon is one of those things that are very, very hard to go after and very, very easy to defend due to how overly broad it is. The plan here was blatant and said out loud. Biden would not pardon hunter, setting up multiple potential venues for attack against Trump when he began his pardons. They needed that -lack- of a pardon because if Hunter's pardon stands then it establishes the President can pardon family (and presumably himself) and that politics is not a consideration for allowing a pardon to stand.

This precedent sets the stage for Trump to pardon J6ers, and presumptively pardon his family, his aides, and himself before he leaves office. And Biden... almost certainly knows this. Its why I leaned towards mutual pardons but either Hunter forced Joe's hand or Joe just stopped giving a fuck and wanted to do maximum damage to the Uniparty plans. Either way, unless the pardon gets successfully challenged... precedent is set.


Hence the Uniparty controlled DoJ playing petty games. its all they have to desperately try to salvage what now -was- going to be their main attack.

It's giving Gollum vibes. Tolkien was really on to something with the whole evil destroying itself thing.

I view accelerationists as "burn down the house because its easier to build a new one" but they ignore "you got to live somewhere....".

Furthering this analogy. The Department isnt the house. The house is the government. The department could be viewed instead as like a washer or dryer in the house. At what point do you stop trying to fix the washer and dryer and instead just say "fuck it" and replace it entirely? At what point do you go "man we wash almost all clothes at the laundromat anyways, do we really need this thing?"

The Department Education original remit and mandate was to push racial equity practices. If you support its existence, you support racial equity practices. It sounds like what you really want is a "Department of Educational Standards" that would work to guarantee baseline level of education in all federally funded schools. That is NOT what the DoE does, and if you want a department to do that, you should get rid of the current DoE and create that one. You are going against the well developed entity as it stands to try and make it, and it will be challenging to go against the "DNA" of the organization to make it do that.

This is what really scares me about Biden pardoning his son. I hope it gets challenged and overturned or something, because we absolutely do not want it to be a normal thing in the US that presidents blanket pardon everyone on their side before leaving office.

Not just a healthcare CEO. A health INSURANCE CEO.

If I had a major life ending condition and the insurance company fucked with me. Fuck yeah i will cut a fucking swath for every one of those fuckers i can find.

Yeah the comment threads on media sites this morning are full of stories of health insurers denying people coverage for life-saving medical care.

Not surprised to think that more then a few people wanted this asshole dead.

I admit I hear horror stories of socialized healthcare in other countries, (Canada just tells you to kill yourself) but holy fuckballs private health insurance can be awful.

Bet the CEO of Aetna is locking his doors this morning.
