"Second religiosity" is one of the signs of a dying empire/country according to Spengler. Americans are just oddly unaware what they're doing, but maybe it cannot be otherwise. The desire to recreate terms and conditions when a nation was in ascendancy CANNOT be replicated because they always occur naturally, organically and in a set timeframe of these or those geopolitical conditions. And no, the Renaissance was not a return of Rome but its own thing inspired by it and it took on very local character and operated locally (city states.)

What is actually happening in the US is the abolition of the US and it's gradual but inexorable parceling out of authority among its oligarchical class, like what happened when the Soviet Union fell or how the Roman Empire legislated itself out of existence.
The Renaissance was the return of classical philosophy (as transmitted through the prism of Cicero) to the center of intellectual European life

The rest of your word salad is typical generalized Euroseethe. It means nothing. By the way the exposure of corrupt little fiefdoms in the American federal government is the opposite of the financial hollowing out of the Roman Empire in the 3rd and 4th centuries
 
It'd be interesting to live through a time where the Democrats actually have to walk back on insane ideas in order to be politically competitive. For a party who has made their identity into constantly pushing something that they call "progress" for so long now it would be an experience akin to pulling teeth for American liberals. Quite a few believe they can't be wrong, only their opposition can and they don't have any critical thinking on the matter nor do they ever reflect on what they are advocating for.
I think the Dems have already pragmatically started walking back on their policies less palatable to Middle America (i.e. troon surgery for minors, DEI nonsense like vowing to cut police funding 'cause police are racist due to St. George Floyd's death).

The only problem is, I think the Dem base is already too far gone. The majority of butthurt Democrats ree'ing online are deluded enough to think Kamala lost because she wasn't commie/far-left enough. These are people who genuinely want AOC (or a similar radical) to lead the post-Biden Democratic party.

TLDR, the only Democratic candidate that has a chance of winning in the near-ish future is one that manages to appeal to mostly Republican/Independent voters (since so many Democrats hate their party/will sit out and not vote).
 
I stuck my head in the door over on reddit and saw that the same people who think four year olds know that they are the wrong gender are the ones yelling the loudest about DOGE being made up of "children" and decided that it's just business as usual and called it a day.
i also peeked at reddit for shits and giggles and it only took a minute to find the most unbelievable cope. this person must be a bot or a paid actor. even now i find it hard to believe that someone could be this detached from reality

The White House is working on an executive order to fire thousands of U.S. Department of Health and Human Services workers, according to people familiar with the matter. Under the order, the Food and Drug Administration, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other health agencies would have to cut a certain percentage of employees.

Libtards believe you can become a woman by just wishing. Why would this be hard to believe?

A significant problem the left has is refusal to walk back on anything, they continue and try to sneak it in. This is part of why "Thing that never happens..." is a thing that happens. What opponents should have always done is shine light on this fact and call it out, forcing a response. I would be shocked to see them walk anything back, as in having a DNC backed politician speak out against men in women's sports as part of a campaign, for example.
 
As someone who was there, I left because (a) they couldn't figure out what they wanted and (b) I didn't want to get raped.

What has been largely lost to history is that OWS won. There was a point in time where the establishment appeared genuinely willing to negotiate. Nobody could agree on an answer, so the movement dissolved. The poison pill was "what do you want?"
I'd say that they lost a lot of public sympathy by not being able to articulate an answer but that is kind of forgivable for a protest movement of relatively average people. I really felt like they lost people more with the intersectionality stuff, to whatever degree it was a natural part of the left wing environment and/or was pushed along by opponents manipulating them. I think that the answer that was eventually articulated on the economic/class front came in the form of the Bernie Sanders 2016 primary campaign, where more clearly this time the anti 1% revolt went down from intersectionality both being a source of criticism of the campaign from establishment dems (His supporters are sexist Bernie Bros! He lied about marching for black people, don't believe the pictures!) and from the campaign half-heartedly trying to adopt SJW cult positions itself.

What happened when Bernie Sanders started generating some positive momentum against the 1%?
 
This is probably the biggest redpill I've taken in my nearly 5 years on KF. Very rarely is someone hated only for being "different".

It also makes me question a large chunk of what we've been told about history, that our ancestors in the benighted Before Times were all moronic, sadistic, supersitious buffoons. C.S. Lewis once called this "chronological snobbery", and it's a pillar of the Current Year fallacy.

My great uncle was KIA in the Battle of the Bulge. His brother, MeatGramps, survived getting zipped by a Nork in Korea.

Thanks in part to them, Jews were spared the ovens and Koreans were spared the gulags.

But some smug, shit-eating Redditor or professor will still look me in the eye and say, "your ancestors were villains", because....people not even related to me who died 200 years owned slaves.
Lol, those very professors and journalists are the descendants of the jews your great uncle died for. What a pointless death.
 
I'm a little worried that the unemployment rate will skyrocket. Not only will the masked numbers from the "not working but not looking" category be added back but now all of these government workers and activists will be out of jobs. Plus a disruption to illegals being able to work.
There are tons of farming and hotel cleaning jobs now that the immigrants are being removed. Get to work white boy and save your country.
 
There is definitely an overlap between homosexuality and satanism/the occult. Look at how many gay pride parades have people wearing demon costumes. Likewise, consider how a lot of trans people call themselves "Lilith" and also people in history like Felix Yusupov, one of the people involved in murdering Rasputin: known homosexual and crossdresser who was involved in the occult. Not a proponent of Eastern Orthodox, but I find that notable.

Also consider the account in the Gospels of the man possessed with a "legion" of demons - he is shown crying and cutting himself with stones (consider trans and gay suicide rates), and also consider that he says "My name is Legion, for we are many." - "We" is a pronoun.
One has to wonder how much of that is because the gay mind is just broken and gravitates to the ideologies that promote hedonism versus them grabbing on to the enemy of their enemy(Religion) to stick it to them.

Correct me if I'm having an attack of second hand retardation from the sheer amount but...
You tend to not need to read what you wrote because surprise surprise you fucking wrote it.

Fuck the media part they trot out, they need JUST literacy at this point.

Also the project2025 thing is still the dumbest shit up there with unironically pants pissing over Jan 6th. The man literally has an agenda with his name on it and his game plan laid out step by step and they have to run to the corner of a nothingburger think tank with a public list and go "I FOUND THE SECRET PLANS"
