The intro is hilarious!

All governments come with inevitable fail states. Democracy/republic/feudal systems seek to diversify who is in power, as opposed to absolute monarchial/dictatorial regimes, which centralize it. Ultimately, people will collapse any system set up eventually. I'd say that democracies/republics at...

Oh, they definitely underestimate him. They think he's an idiot. But I don't think you understand the sheer blind hatred they have for him, and how unreasonable they are.

I'm not too worried. Oddly, BIden ended up taking part of the fall for the Pandemic because he won. Trump didn't handle the pandemic well, and was partly responsible for inflation. PPP and other handouts did happen under Trump too. But given that inflation took a little while to hit, and Biden...

Apparently it's also "Your building, my choice"

Maga has achieved real political power. Some of the best voices from the Tea Party are still there (Massie for example), who know how the previous stuff failed. We are also watching a changing of the guard. Constant speaker no-confidences, Lara Trump as the head of the RNC, and Mitch McConnell...

Yeah, but a lot of people were angry at Aerys. Tywin had his son held hostage by Aerys and still knew exactly when to betray him while getting credit on the victor's side and keeping his son alive. That takes skill. He effectively went from being on the losing side with his son held hostage to...

Eh, outplaying the Freys isn't hard. It's not that they were really good at betrayal, they were just willing to sink to new lows. Basically, they exploited a one time OoC problem that permanently established them as pariahs and are actively being hunted down by a variety of sources (or Arya...

Ah, I was responding to the post about progressivism being worse than communism there, and thought you were continuing that. It's got a 150 year head start, it'll be out in front for a while. And yeah, communism has done more than nearly any other ideology to promote evil. For abortion? China...

We are literally comparing bad stuff. Did you forget what started this conversation? A statement that progressivism was worse than communism. So yeah, I am comparing the two to find out which is worse. Everything progressivism has done, communism did more of in a crueler manner. For example...

Covid wasn't intentionally released, and if it was, that would be communism, not progressivism, because the CCP. The vax hasn't killed 10M. If we are talking abortions, China's 1 child policy beats the US. They still crush the US: over 40% of pregnancies in China are aborted. ... You don't...

They definitely are cool, but I don't like the blue strap.

I'm talking murder. When people are talking about the 100M dead from communism, they aren't meaning accidental famines because they were fuck ups. They mean organized murder.

No. Progressivism is much less worse than those two, as it doesn't have a key element: absolute power. When Progressivism kills it's first 10M people, then it can try to sit at the big evil table.

Anyway, oral arguments happened before the Supreme Court for Trump's immunity claims. This affects only his federal claims, not the Georgia or New York cases, tbc. He seemed to do well. Kavanaugh seemed to be open to a favorable ruling, which is big.

Nah, see, it's not about the organization. It's about the incentives and individual. There doesn't need to be some perfect organization, just be better at subverting. That's how the US won the cold war btw. For all the complaints about commie infiltration, the US did a ton better at subverting...

Have fun with that. It doesn't work, unless you want to hand leftists everything they wanted by establishing an authoritarian state. You won't even get your revenge, btw, as the leftists will rebrand themselves as part of the state, and you'll get tossed aside once the authoritarianism is...
