How do you read "Boeing (which is a government contractor who primarily works with the government) should be nationalized because they are failing" and get all that? Boeing is primarily a govt contractor, nothing would change except standards would be put in.
No, if Boeing were nationalized, it would no longer get anything done at all, ever, because every position in the company of any meaningful salary would become a political sinecure. Moreover, under federal pay rules, it would no longer be able to pay their top engineers the salaries they currently get, leading to a massive brain drain, worse than has already happened under DEI.

Independent contractors with the federal government also get far more leeway with hiring and firing. If you think DEI is bad at Boeing now, the next time a Democrat gets in office, whatever they're working on will immediately take a back seat to "researching the impact that the history of discrimination has had on the participation of black and brown engineers in federal defense programs." And, of course, nobody below the Director level at the company will ever be fired ever again.

In America, if you own a business, investors will ask you if you are minority or woman-owned, because that still, even under Trump, puts you at the front of the line for federal contracts. Once you are actually in the government, you just went out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Sure, Boeing's merger with MD did a world of bad, but the thing that's really killed them over the last 15 years is they decided to prioritize the race & gender stuff that would satiate the Democrats and keep the defense budget big. They've run out too many white males who knew too much.

Fixing it means ending institutional anti-white-male discrimination across all levels of government and business, and then taking 10 years to hire and train a new core of competent white males, from the factory to the R&D teams, but I'm not holding my breath.
 
Watching the recent clips of the Saudis greeting trump and all the ways they've been going all out. With the ceremonial chanting and singing with all the swords out and shit. plus the fucking Saudi cavalry personally escorting trump. its crazy to see its like they personally see him as a fellow Arabian king or some shit.
It makes sense though, Trump so far has been like one of the old school Persian kings ( like Cyrus the great of the Achaemenids before Alexander the great conquered fucking everything.) the Kings of the early Achaemenid empire (who were proto-Persians who then became the Muslims) ruled with a policy of "I do not give a shit what you do or who you worship after i conquer you. Just pay your taxes to the king and don't start any retarded conflicts. And if you break those 2 rules you fucking retard, i will find you and fucking kill you."
That way of ruling, plus Trump's love of gaudy fucking gold everything. Trump is more like an old school king than anything we've ever had. And something about that old school shit that the Saudis seem to respect the fuck out of.
 
This is a real daily struggle. My wife is home with the kids and the park is directly across the street so they want to play on the slides they can see out the window. But the city just built a shelter a block away from me and the underclass likes to put up tents, get high, pass out, and call their dealers to show up at the park. Just last year this shit wasn’t happening but we have democrat activists making moves to keep the homeless junkies around because in their fucked up grant money world view, the junkies are a RESOURCE
As much as Mao colossally fucked up China in ways that it's still struggling to recover from, he did prove that widespread drug addiction can be solved very quickly and easily if you just have the will to do it. I think over 70% of China was addicted to opium and the problem was almost eliminated in a few years. He basically did the opposite of what we do: go HARD against drug dealers (you have a couple of months to turn yourself in and we'll get you vocational training, we catch you after that and you get a head full of lead) and detoxing users and then giving them vocational training. What we do is just fucking insane. Wait for users to decide to fix themselves (news flash: 90% of them won't) while we fulfill all their needs even as they spit in the face of charity. Sometimes we even give them the fucking drugs! Then at the same time we treat dealers with kid gloves. I saw a dealer get sentenced - second offence, had already been in jail once. Prosecutor told stories of people who died from taking the drugs that he dealt in - really heartwrenching stuff, how he and his crowd intentionally got them addicted at parties. Two years. Made me so fucking angry. Second offence should be a death sentence.

Part of me thinks that Duterte is rotting in the Hague because he had the balls to give drug dealers the treatment they so richly deserve. Can't go showing people that mass addiction and drug trafficking is something that the people in power want.

People say that Trump is a poor man's idea of a rich man like it's a bad thing, but it's his biggest strength. Poor people don't find rich WASPS who go to a fake barn and drink overpriced cocktails out of mason jars to be 'cool'. They see them as bizarre and offputting. Most people would build a big gaudy mansion with a nice pool and marry a supermodel if they hit the lottery. That makes Trump relatable even if, in their eyes, he has enough money to make Solomon blush,

Even back in 2016, Jordan Peterson was saying we know what is and we can identify the far right and he was asking if society can identify what the far left is and how does society know if we go too far to the left.

I think the "right" can identify what is "far right" and what is "far left" and reject both (Republican and/or Trump supporting rallies often boot bad actors from their rallies)

I think the "left" can identify what is "far right" but they either can't identify the far left or they're so convinced of their own righteousness that they think to be far left is to be on the "right side of history" and have no self-control or filters to hide their power level because if you oppose them, you're a nazi so everything's justified.
Oh it's more simple than that. The left identifies being left as "good" and being not left as "evil."

If you ask someone with this mindset "what does it mean when the left goes too far, what does that look like" they won't comprehend the question, because that translates to "What does it mean when you're too good, what does too nice a world look like?"

Letting the Marxists flee into Academia in the 70s was a huge mistake and I'm not sure our civilization survives it intact. We have to purge the shit out of them and restore educational standards to the 1940s era before rebuilding it from there. Civics, home economics, et cetera. I don't need to know about the fucking holocaust, it's ancient history and it WILL happen again based on even a casual understanding of history. I learned every fucking year all year long about how bad the holocaust was. I would have loved to learn how to bake a fucking cake or recite the structure of my state government instead. But the denmothers wanted us to learn about the worst thing ever ™️ so we'd never repeat it, and the alpha denmothers created the curriculum and...
 
I heard about a helmet. Was it a whole set?

I believe trumps current setup is:
Golden Samurai Helmet (Legendary)
Recruit cutlass (Common)
Qatar 747 for his mount (Epic but it was limited time event so might as well be legendary)

I feel like he got some cool gloves too but so far he's going for one of those min max meta sets that look mish mashed but are best in the game.
 
Yes, this isn't hard to grasp, be nice to Trump and he'll be nice to you. And he shows strength, especially with the lawfare and Abe's Whisper. That last one alone makes all the arabs think he has Allah That Armor.

Meanwhile, back in the swamp, a Dingellberry:

You ever met an adult Young Earth Creationist? There is no amount of physical, visible evidence that will convince them otherwise. Everything you find, down to the genetic similarity between chimps and humans, the massive distance light has to travel to reveal galaxies that went extinct billions of years ago, has an explanation, and even if it doesn't, will be casually dismissed. That's how lefties are with "brown good, white bad."

Doesn't matter if you show them footage of SA negroes singing about murdering Boers, photos of murdered Boers, testimony of Boers who escaped, news articles about the latest law stripping Boers of rights, you see, brown is good and white is bad. The end. They might dismiss it by saying it didn't happen, or it's exaggerated, or it's an isolated incident, or the whites deserved it, but they will never admit that browns could be bad. It'd cause a crisis of faith, and the human mind does everything it can to avoid a crisis of faith.
I think it honestly goes beyond that.

There is a fucking dark mindset underpinning a lot of the crazier lefty elements out there. I first started noticing it in the SJW community on Tumblr, and I called it out for what it was back then, but essentially, they've replaced the conventional definition of racism with one where only one race can possibly be guilty of it - where they feel the correct solution to racism that happened ages ago is more racism, but by the right people this time.

If you look past the people who were doing that back then, cursory analysis of them showed you the real reason they were doing it: It wasn't just them being taught shitty lessons - shitty lessons are a problem but they do not, in and of themselves, create shitty people like these. Instead, it was the pathological need to be morally superior to someone. It shows a stunning level of insecurity and immaturity, existing solely to allow the shittiest possible people to be dicks to others with the full support of their conscience.

He is wrong though. Its not good at it. For instance China seems alot closer to a modern day Nazi party than anyone else. And only right wing figures recognize that.

Society was rebuilt from the groundup to prevent National Socialism from ever rising again. And i dont mean Nazi's. I mean Nation first people who care about society and its inhabitants and view time tested solutions to get there as a viable approach. Yes it stops Nazis too but its basically against all social right wing positions.

This was done by a combination of actors such as Dems making sure their enemies could never rise again. Capitalists making sure they wouldnt get challenges from the right on their excess. Jews to make sure that a nation would never demand a subgroup assimilate ever again. Communists for obvious reasons. All of those groups are fine with China except hardcore communists who Xi got rid of. The commies over here are fine with the technical W of the CCP being commie in name.

Jewish controlled media has done its part for 80 years now to remove all right wing thought and argumentation.

Notice how the anti China sentiment is ramping up on the Dems after China has made it clear they are a nation that looks after its society made of Han chinese first and no the Jews cant all come to China as the next host. Notice after that major billionaires realized they had to salvage the USA instead of bouncing and opposed Trump less and even supported him.

He was also gifted an "Ottoman Empire rifle" from Bulgaria. (I have to assume it's a boyliya, since journalists suck and no picture or proper description seems to exist.)
That's at least an enchanted Uncommon.

Lucifer mindset. I'm not that religious but this is the exact same mindset behind Lucifer's rebellion.
 
What I learned from leftists:
A few research grads or associates taking a job offer in France and insisting on being called “refugees” are refugees.
White people escaping a collapsing decaying society where crime is rampant, and enter waving American flags and showing genuine grace, are not refugees.

That's the joke. Everyone who says addiction would go away with "support programs" can't point to a single example of this working anywhere on the planet. We have cities spanning the gamut of cultures, political orientations, and races, and the number of cities that have found a reliable way to get the local addict population clean is Z E R O.
There is one "support program" that may see some success...
