The Soviets reindustrialized in about 5-10 years, starting with a population much of which was illiterate, innumerate and had never seen a watch (as described vividly in Darkness At Noon.) They were very constrained not only in human resources but in other profound ways.

For instance, they were ideologically stuck with extreme central planning and punishment as a major motivator; extreme profit opportunities and private capital were nonexistent/criminalized.

Foreign currency was scarce, Russian currency wasn't very liquid, so they had to raise money for industrial machinery, foreign experts etc by looting the nation- church artifacts, private gold and foreign currency, natural resources extracted through brutal inefficient slavery.

The controlling apparatus was staffed by professional revolutionaries-inherently untrustworthy conspirators. The people who were over 30 often hated the state and had extensive personal experience in civil war and guerrilla fighting.

Instead of being spry retirees in their 60s-80s, the pre-revolutionary Russian engineers, machinists and so on were either dead, crippled or fled.

And finally, everything had to be drafted/machined/processed by hand or with dumb machine tools. Even with all of that, Soviet reindustrialization happened. So the US for sure can do it.
yea and like 20 percent of them starved to death, and?

Reactions: Hey Johnny Bravo
Yeah, he literally admitted on 60 Minutes that he gave up other Jews to save his own skin and doesn't feel bad about it. The guy is a ghoul.
Right, and in the same interview he openly admitted he saw himself as “a god.” Freaky shit, but even back then 60 minutes ate it up. They thought it was “fascinating”

Oh, the linguistic irony
 
He also sent me this screenshot from him playing Splatoon 3 recently:

i'm trying to figure out how the hell these people are going to fight fascism?

riot in DC? you got the DC police, national guard, secret service, hell, even the US Army! All at a moment's notice, not to mention lines of succession and the fact that more normies would be attracted to the Republicans like his previous attempt if it even got close to succeeding. (I don't consider the miami one a attempt, he didn't even fire a shot)

vote? if it was a fascist country then trump would have done so much worse by now. make himself dictator, kick the Democrats out of office, etc etc. so if it was really that drastic voting will take the longest time to do so.

what other ways could there possibly be? riots won't do anything but swing more voters to trump or cause civil unrest, voting would take at least another year and a half, maybe refuse to pay taxes or some shit?
 
That is depressing to think about, it's something I've heard from euros. They think Dems ARE moderate.
They're terrified of being called racist, and most of their perception of America is filtered and spoonfed to them by legacy media.

They're also coming from vastly different legal traditions than that of the US; while claiming to be small-d democratic, they are still operating under the assumption that their governments can do whatever they want by default, and the citizenry may only act with permission. The American Founding Fathers flipped that on its head, but Euros don't seem to get that.
 
@Absolutego i think the RNC went through its growing pains already back in trump's first term. the amount of pre-tea party era GOP types still in control is very small vs the DNC still being led by people that got elected in the 90s. even if someone elected in 2010 is anti-trump, by nature of being from the Tea Party era they probably aren't too anti-trump by nature of also running on and having voters that supported these populist views.

look at Mike Johnson, everything about him screams conservacuck but he's way more willing to play ball with trump just by nature of when he was elected.

As for Kamala, i think that is a huge example of what i was saying, anyone under age 50 knows Kamala calling Trump a motherfucker and going full loud black woman would have gotten her that W. but the DNC still thinks its 2016, the blacks need to be nice and uptight and respectful of institutions, i keep saying and i 100% believe that Timmy's "weird republicans" comment would have destroyed if Clinton said it in 2016. But that whole "Kamala is for they/them, trump is for US" destoyed any chance of that working, and you can tell it did because every fucking weekend it went viral that entire football season as libs were forced to see that.

Brat was a retarded move and even outside of that, the marketing of woman singers means no matter what era, that would have been a retarded move for a politican. You'd have to be bimbo tier nuts to even suggest such a thing.

I think the biggest fear of the DNC, or at least should be the biggest fear is if Trump doesn't go for a third term because Vance is the ultimate politican, he's to the right of trump as anyone that follows his twitter knows, but he's got the education from going to ivy league in the obama era to know how to talk like a proper politican while saying we need to put prisoners and illegals in 3rd world countries jails, i know tons of republicans who prefer Vance over Trump for numerous reasons and Vance's lack of skeltons and rags to riches upbringing means there are tons of people who will proudly vote for him vs holding their nose when voting for trump and i could easily see the nevertrumpers coming back and voting for him in a huge way just because the rhetoric is different while the message is the same.

He's like Chris Rufo or a lot of the other whites of that era who are know hardcore right wing, these hipsters that know all the right things to say and were the vanguard to getting weed and gay marriage legalized in this country in the obama era are now using those same tactics they learn to MAGA. They're young and right wing and grew up online so they can handle the bantz and the podcasts while the DNC still thinks going on late night shows is the massive W it was in 2016.

all of Trump's wing of the GOP is filled with people in their 40s, meanwhile you can count the number of people that graduated high school after Reagan left office on one hand, the democrats are the party of your parents who still believe immgration isn't an issue because they only had one non-white person in their graduating class, they met their first muslim or black person at age 50, meanwhile most people in this country have had ESOL students and muslims and indians in their kindergarden and hijabs are as normal to us as pizza or lasagna. the DNC is so far removed from the problems of modern day america they still think bible and Reagan quotes are gotchas like it was when Bush was in office.

whomever the DNC puts up in 2028 is going to look even older vs Vance and whomever his VP is. combine that with their out of touch messaging and its going to suck for them, Gavin is doing his best with his podcast just being used to talking for 3+ hours but his baggage vs Vance is going to be too much.

the DNC will probably be able to win the midterms, but after that i think enough industry will have come back to america combined with such a long time without illegals coming in to replace the ones leaving for various reasons that you're going to see a strong economy and a nation ready to continue loving america.

Someone brought up ITT that its cheaper and quicker to open up a factory vs a fast food place in this country, and while true, it still takes a solid year.
It's high time that autism gets split off into different disorders beyond levels 1-3
its genuinely bullshit, according to psychologists there are 7 levels to how much you enjoy sucking cock but only 3 levels of autism, i would at least expect just as many levels of tism as there are levels of dick sucking but i guess not.
It's always a brown person, White people are the least likely to fall for Tate's bullshit. America is going through a stage where underprivileged black/hispanic teenagers raised on Ipads are getting their morality from nigger culture that promises them the world.
to be fair Tate's message also resonates because he'll get into their inferiority "if you drive around in a fancy car, no one will think 'oh he got that by studying hard and now he's a doctor' no they'll think you got it by being a low life and selling drugs, so you might as well"

And mind you that same messaging has been happening in the black community since the 1940s, if they're going to treat you like a nigger, be a nigger. the difference is Tate happens to have skin just on the wrong side of the paper bag and talks a bit too eloquently so now people have a problem with a nigger talking to a nigger audience about nigger stuff. when Biggie Smalls was saying it in gangsta rap songs in the 90s no one cared because they don't give a fuck about niggers, but now its their mulatto grandsons or some arab friend of their kid repeating it.

Mind you as even you have to admit, especially in the 1940s jim crow south, they weren't wrong about a lack of opportunities, its like that one nigger admited during the crack days, yeah a drug dealer made as much money as someone working at mcdonalds, but your chance of getting that job at mcdonalds was a lot lower than getting away with selling crack for a decade.

If you notice that sort of PUA stuff was always around but very small scale until the modern era, The Game literally flopped when it came out, only to find success post-recession, its the heirarchy of needs, of course non-whites will gravitate towards that a lot more when they don't have parents who will pay for college or co-sign on an apartment where they can play beerpong with hot young sluts. (intentionally dating myself here) and that whole Tate-esque stuff has been around in nigger communities for so long that its just considered a social norm and therefore something whites don't need to think about anymore.

as Luigi found out, it doesn't matter how good of an education you have if HR doesn't like you, and mind you Luigi had the looks and intelligence and they still picked stinky indians over him for jobs for years to the point of taking a job well below his expertise.
 
Compare this to England, whose leaders celebrated Ramadan, or Canada, whose leaders are pandering to the Sikhs and Hindus.
I mean, for England, yea I don't think leaders should celebrate Ramadan. but what's the issue with celebrating holidays for other religions again in the US? it's pretty much impossible to turn everyone christian.

I've discussed it at length before, but the State TM is God for the Euro. When in the US, your rights are "God given", meaning you're born with them, ergo the state can't take them and it's your duty to resist if they try. The philosophical gap is fucking vast.
 
It's sad, but I think you may be right.
Its not a think thing.

In lefty circles, they are saying right now there is no left wing in the United States, that the real left would be redistributing wealth and dismantling patriarchy/capitalism/racism/white people/jews/having familes/my parents. While pretending that right wing positions are actual genocide. That they are the moderates because they are advocating for healthcare and education and not killing all the white people openly instead of hiddenly, and the problems are all that the Dems moderated too much. This is the dialogue going on right now. Nobody in the Dem's wants to moderate right now. There is no evidence that they need too either, one election of Trump doesn't mean shit, and Trump isn't going to war nearly as hard as he needs too on their apparatus. Yes he has taken some shots, but the Dem Donor network and organizational apparatus is still intact. He could buck break way harder and will have to if he wants to win 2026.

This is the best news, I want the DNC to look like this.
 
I'm starting to nootice a recurring pattern with these Obama and Biden appointees. None of them are born American.
That was Obama's whole thing. For the most part, he just kept on with the sort of status quo while he filled the permeant bureaucracy with anti-American stooges.

It's simple. We kill the Batman.
 
Stephen Miller fucking reporters in public for 10 minutes, they have nothing beyond their first appeal to emotion over a rapist illegal. The way the administration quickly makes it apparent their first concerns are with the victimized Americans is impressive and probably an idea spearheaded by Miller himself because they can't revert to retarded "but what about his wife and kids n' sheeeit?" He's developing more Telly Savalas in his looks and mannerisms:
the one good jew.webp
