The media got away with 4 years of 'TRUMP=RUSSIA'. They got away with calling BLM riots 'mostly peaceful', they got away with being wrong about just about every single major event of the last 5-6 years.
They haven't got away with it though, it's just more low key than many would like. Their ratings and overall trust for the media has gone down the toilet. Defund the BBC is now far from an unpopular sentiment in Britain.
We are watching the train wreck in slow motion, essentially.
The problem for Trump was that there weren't enough of "his people" in government. He had to work with obstructionist Neocons because the actual Conservatives and Libertarians weren't there and have been sitting on their arses for too long.
Loyalists of America, this man might well be "your guy." Given what I've seen so far, I think DeSantis would be a worthy successor to Trump.
2020 was a serious indicator that we probably can't vote our way out of this.
You can. A big reason the Swamp managed to snatch victory by the skin of their teeth in 2020 was because of Neoconservative cowardice. These aforementioned cowards are now being booted out the GOP in slow motion as it completes its metamorphosis into "the party of MAGA."
And a lot of the state house (MAGA friendly) Republicans have semi-clocked what happened and are moving against it.
It isn't all doom and gloom.
Pakistan and India split with relatively little horror
Uhh...no...my god, that was a horror show. Muslims and Hindus killed each other in the streets as suddenly significant amounts of them were on the wrong side of the border.
No solution is actually a solution until it actually figures out what to do about the 50-60 million communists that the Left was able to breed inside our borders with their education system. They're here now, and something has to be done about them to where they are no longer able to exert any political power over the rest of us.
That one's easy.
Turn them out the institutions because they are politically biased against America and actively seeking to undermine it. In particular take the schools via enforcing a patriotic curriculum and unceremoniously booting out those who won't teach it.
Take the schools and the bastards can't replenish the ranks and eventually whittle away into nothing.
I don't think anyone here actually wants America to break down, even the people who think they want it to collapse. Imperial collapses are horrifying things to live through so American loyalists should do what is in their power to prevent it.
The left can be beaten. Just not with Neocons. Get rid of them and you are on the right path. Remember, no matter how powerful they seem, the left goes to absolute pieces at the slightest bit of resistance. Because when they're up against someone they can't shame, they lose half their power.
White supremacists are the 'top domestic violent extremist threat' facing the US, says Biden official
They may well become that if you don't stop pushing this silliness. Vilifying white people has only one ending and the fact that you are semi-blind to it does not bode well for your paradigm.
The Israelis look out for their own interests. Isn't their fault if the American government is corrupt and weak.
Israel gets $3.3 billion dollars
...Is that it? Hate to say it, but for all the furore on here about American money going to Israel, I was expecting a bit more. A Gerald R Ford aircraft carrier costs about three times as much as that.
Israel bombing journo hives (starting with that Arab Spring propaganda machine, Al Jazeera)
There is something vaguely hilarious about the Israeli Air Force bombing one of Al Jazeera's buildings. Some on here will essentially be like "I can't believe I have to live vicariously through Israel."
McCarthy needs to be removed but I don't see that happening.
Perhaps. But then again, Cheney was quite high up and they got rid of her anyway. I don't think any Neocon is truly safe right now because, well, the vast majority of their voter base think/know they are traitors.
How is it then that mostly working class troops have often sat in their barracks and not lifted a finger to save incompetent elites from an angry mob? I do think culture plays a part here, and American culture isn't quite as mindlessly socially obedient as Imperial Japan.
Could not have happened to a better person...
In all seriousness, the American Nationalists have been flexing their muscles a lot lately. 2020, whilst initially a defeat, may have provided the impetus and opportunity for them to truly conquer the GOP.
The most the Normans (they spoke French, but they weren't French. Norman is short for Northman) really did was sort of take over as a new ruling class. "England" as a state with its laws remained intact and in time the Normans were assimilated because England Prevails, my guy.
I do feel rather sorry for conspiracy theorists. They're trying to make rational sense of an irrational world.
Rank and file won't be. And that's what's important as the French nobles found out in 1789.
A lot of people on here would do well to read some history. Oh yes, elites can be that stupid rather easily. I assure you, the Roman senators idling away on their estates in the 5th century didn't mean to bring the Empire down, but they managed it nicely anyway.
A shadow has fallen upon the scenes so lately lighted by the Allied victory. From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an Iron Curtain has descended across the continent.
Winston Churchill, an ardent communist sympathiser if ever there was one.
...yes, Churchill agreed with not uncommon viewpoints of the time. What of it?
I'd also argue the various monsters were treated far more seriously, regardless of poor execution (the Absorbaloff, as absurd as it was, killed about half a dozen people). For example, in Moffat's run we had a scene were the Daleks talk about hatred as beautiful, as a method of making us sickened by them (and as a hack explanation for why they don't just butcher the mental defects). They also then proceed to kill fuck all over his time as show runner, with many jokes made at their expense.
For all its faults, and Russel T Davies is a raging lefty to boot, everything seemed to go wrong after Tennant and Russel went. I'm not sure how, but there was something about the way Moffat ran things that didn't sit right with me (the villains lost a lot of their edge, I notice). Dr Who has been rotting for over ten years straight, despite the superhuman efforts of Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi.
Yes, even as a diehard libtard myself I find them often shoehorned in and annoying, but they will alter how the next generation behaves, and I can’t applaud that enough.
Even when the appalling, politically charged bad writing is staring them dead in the face, it doesn't matter so long as the media is producing "the right message."
Devoted little Jacobins, aren't they?
She stated that back then, Marxists noticed they were having little success as "Marxists," but people supported feminism, so they became "feminists." They were still Marxists, but now they were being granted money and power by applying a different word, with a different social understanding than Marxism.
The left adores their word games, and it's semi-disturbing how many on here play into it.
Err...no. They overreacted to it but let's not go too far the other way, eh? This thing cut a swathe through the elderly in ways flu never could. It's a nasty bug whatever way you put it.
Covid is very much real and quite dangerous to a good chunk of the populace. It was just never the world ending plague hysterical media built it up to be.
