Absurdly Stupid

In the USA, there is little corruption officially; that’s only because bribery is legal. Billionaires, Corporations, Banks and even other nations like Saudi Arabia can “contribute” huge amounts of money without even revealing who they are.

Insurers, drug manufacturers and other interested parties “donate” many millions of dollars through these Super PACs and shell companies to keep things as they like them.

The voters are too busy juggling low-wage jobs to compete with the multi-generational wealth accumulators; on top of this, they pay more taxes in more ways than any other generation before.

Our representatives won’t bite the hand that feeds them willingly, and are legally protected to continue doing so.

People’s standard of living and life spans are shrinking as a result. See Citizens United, Super PACs, Panama Papers and Pandora Papers for more details.

There’s so much, unions squashed, down to 10% of workforce and those are mostly police and government ironically. Check out Patriot Act if you wonder why there’s so little organizing. The FED haha it never ends

They’re saying it just happened, so that means the Rangers have been there for months as “advisors”, probably without uniforms.

On the one hand, this is awful and will be a complete clusterfuck

On the other hand, it would be acceptable if the mods have to use a recent photo as an avatar.

Just do it already, what are they waiting for?

Promises, promises, promises, never delivers.

Just wait until you figure out that every President in office for your lifetime was a “fascist” and a “conservative”.

Some hide it better than others.

Nerd.

I don’t know about all herbivores, but a deer will eat every little baby it finds if it discovers a nest.

I don’t think it matters what kind of baby, they are all delicious

The longer and more thoroughly you do so, the less aware you are; after a while you can be quite out of touch with the people and world around you. You live in a society, and it’s better to know your enemy than to be oblivious to them. Social networking with less social can be a hug box trap.

Nothing WRONG with doing it, however. It’s your right to be anywhere on the scale between being very social and total isolation.

You can just be quiet, what has snarky ever done to you?

Religion just doesn’t work as well if you don’t have a priest to molest the kid, this experiment ignores that and is therefore ipso facto dumbo, point blank period end of story nuff said

We had a good run, a solid century or two. In the 70s, the FBI would nail reps for taking bribes (Abscam).

Now, there’s no reason to bribe illegally, we have Super PACs and shell companies for such things, and it’s ALL LEGAL, so it’s not even “corruption”. GOOD JOB

The moron isn’t allowed to start a war, as far as the Constitution is concerned.

Trump is the end result of ignoring the Constitution for many decades, he is what you get. And he’s the dumb one

He’s not as dirty as Trump, but he’s dirty.

Oh, almost forgot. HA HAHAHA HA HA

What’s the world coming to? Save us, King Charlessssssss

I don’t think it can be overthrown today; surveillance of means of communication is now total; their only restriction is the massive amount of data.

It CAN collapse in on itself, that is inevitable.

I would be delighted if I was proved wrong.

Well, I can’t argue with that! Carry on, watch your back

If you’re ever bored and want to get really depressed, check out The Council of Foreign Relations for “studies” and The Heritage Foundation for “opinion”.

If you look at their websites, you’ll note that their historical and public membership have many familiar names; often in both organizations.

Who funds them? And why? Have fun

The CIA either directly or indirectly owns the news source, or owns important key members of the news source (like let’s say an editor).

“Owning” is achieved in myriad ways, from insider information leaks to assassination.

This isn’t a conspiracy, this is documented fact; and we’ll never know the worst of it (as the CIA has destroyed thousands of top-secret documents to avoid revelations). We have no way of knowing what they’re doing now; but we can know with certainty they’ve done this for DECADES, and what we do know is horrifying.

Recommend “Legacy of Ashes” by Weiner. I trust it because the CIA hates that book, even insulting it on their website at one time (not sure about now).

There is no better endorsement.

That’s not what “whataboutism” is. This isn’t a structured debate where we are limited to one topic, it’s a conversation… and we’re allowed to use examples and compare like to like, you do it, I do it, every human on Earth does it every day.

Sure, you’re allowed to call this and everything else ‘whataboutism’, I don’t think you should be given a “whataboutism score” wherein those with the highest scores are avoided by reasonable people.

I await your charge of gaslighting eagerly

Please stop financing and enabling the USA, also, and stop using the US dollar for international trade. So lame that you haven’t done that
