I don't really give a shit about how something is polling, all that matters to me is seeing the following:
  • are people protesting about it?
  • if so, is anything happening?
if there isn't anything happening or coming about from those protests then I don't give a rats ass as to what muh polls have to say. If something is happening, the polls still don't matter because they more often than not use a small sample size of people from 1 area (usually urban).
 
you know, if you showed me this picture alone without the tweet and said it was from an elementary school, I would have believed you.
I've told people for years that the State Department is run by idealistic Liberal Atlanticist retards, looks like they've devolved to theater kids now too. If you want to know why the US keeps getting into "Nation Building" bullshit and things that have no real geopolitical ties to the US, the retards in State are why. The whole thing is well connected idiots who honestly believe in Blank Slatism and everyone wanting what Americans want under it all. Kissinger was a realist, and he may have made mistakes and bad calls from time to time, but he was a geopolitical realist interested in advancing American interests. Not whatever kindergarten bullshit this is.

Simpin for Kissinger lol
 
You know back in the Cold War the us and ussr created domestic forgiven back agitators as a way of manipulating countries to fall under their banner, now usually these domestic agitators would sometimes do the work of the us or ussr completely unknowingly for themselves, they were fighting for believes and ideas that were theirs when in reality they were merely pawns on a cheeseboard. and though the Cold War ended many of its tactics did not, they have since been adopted by other countries.
 
Simpin for Kissinger lol
If pointing out that he was effective is simping for the man, then sure. He may have been evil or sociopathic or what have you, but realpolitik is amoral, and that's literally the kind of person you need for it. You think Bismarck is remembered because he was kind and cuddly or because he ruthlessly advanced the interests of Prussia and later Germany? They only fucked up when they didn't listen to him, like in the aftermath of the Franco-Prussian War.
 
Any talk about them winning anything or being a legitimate voice in US politics going forward is out of touch I think.
I wouldn't declare a death until there's an autopsy, so to speak. The moneyed interests that want to destabilize the US way of life haven't gone away. They're just currently inconvenienced. Neither have their hordes of subversive demoralized golems. Their facade of reconciliation is still glued on by a single corner. We haven't seen the bottom of the desperation yet.

Tabula Rasa was part of the US's founding philosophy. The problem was that it was written by a cloistered English philosopher who had mostly spent his time around European whites. If you had only ever seen genteel, adaptable, mostly functional Euro kingdoms and not vantablack African tribal niggerhell where nothing gets done and everything is wasted you might think the same thing.
 
Here is a news article covering the aftermath of the ICE raid in California yesterday.
The President of Glass House Farms, the cannabis farm that federal immigration authorities raided in California on Thursday despite protests, has donated thousands to Democrats in California.
The media is doing what it does best.

“ICE forcefully raided a California farm and arrested farmers.”

REALITY: It was a WEED farm exploiting child labor, and ICE agents had rocks thrown and a gun fired at them
Y'know, it'd be really funny if the feds used the fact that marijuana is still illegal at the federal level to obliterate this guy on top of the litany of other charges he could be catching. Watching all the weed joints dive for cover and shutter stores and operations (especially if they hire illegals) would make my day, really bring the weed question to a head.
retard I'm just going to tell you this very simply:
The aid we are giving Ukraine is symbolic at best, no fucking difference is being made AT ALL by it. Nobody wants US troops fighting in Ukraine not even the Ukrainian people.
I've always viewed the Ukie Vs. Ruskie fight the same way we've done most every war since WWII. The goal has never been to win, the goal is to make sure they lose. Ukraine isn't supposed to make Russia give everything up after a decisive victory via US/EU aid, the goal is to keep it even enough that the meat grinder destabilizes Russia and leaves them a non-threat to US hegemony. Same goes for the middle east, the goal is to keep them off balance forever so they cannot threaten the status quo.
The USA doesn't need to get better to stay on top, it just needs to get worse slower than everyone else, which arguably it's been doing for decades now.
