Reading Thomas Sowell go over the media spin against him in 1984 is fucking insane. It's all the same shit they say about Trump.
Which also happens to be all the same shit they said about Goldwater.
It's all the same shit.
GOOD.
The crash will be like a cleansing forest fire, that clears away the dead wood.
The benefit here is that I think the "indie" and "AA" development scene is so fundamentally strong at this point that the collapse of the AAA game development will leave the stronger parts of AA development unaffected. Meaning that even if something crazy were to happen, like EA going under, most of the good workers in the industry will be fine, or rise from the ashes.
The Puerto Rican Progressive Nationalists also attempted the assassination of the entire US congress under the Truman Administration, by trying to machine gun them in a joint session of congress.
I don't mind Puerto Rico, but the crazy needs to be culled on that Island first.
Even with Trump, we'll only get a handful of conversations. To his credit, he did actually hit the CCP. I doubt he'll do anything about AIPAC, Canada, or Saudi Arabia.
If Kamala wins, I suspect TPM & The Fulong Gong will be classified as a terrorist organization.
So, speaking of foreign interference in elections, are we going to mention anything about:
- Qatar's pro-hamas support via Al-Jazerra
- Fulong Gong's anti-CCP activism via The Post Millennial
- Pro-CCP funding and infiltration into both Asian communities & Academia, including secret police black sites
- Somali jihadi group's influence in Minnesota's immigrant populations
- AIPAC's connections to Israel
- Saudi Arabia's active funding of radical mosques internationally
- Canada's Labour party activists flooding the US to support Leftwing movements in the US
- ShareBlue's funding by XPS as the result of a Ponzi scheme coming from corrupt Ukrainian officials embezzling US weapons funding
Any chance any of this going to hear about any of them?
No?
I didn't think so.
I'm just saying that if we want to have a conversation about foreign interference, we need to talk about ALL of it.
Could you point to a single instance of a government that has existed in perpetuity without changing from it's ideological foundation, by destruction from outside forces, or by collapse?
There is no political structure that wins all of human history.
Or are you going to point me to a monarchy that never became a tyranny and exists to this day?
They called him everything they call Trump, and everything they called Goldwater, because it's the same anti-establishment revolution at work.
Goldwater never got elected president. Reagan was subverted in his second term. Trump was subverted in his first term and still managed major success.
That's really the strange thing here. Trump is fighting a uni-party as aggressive as the one Goldwater faced, but he's been pushing on the level of success that Reagan had.
