Listen, brah, I normally remain above all this shit because politics don't matter; only money matters in this country no matter how much ideologues object. Noam Chomsky has a great quote that applies to ALL political hacks that run in the special Olympics of online partisan debate, where even if you win, you're still retarded. He said, "The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum." Domestic politics is EXACTLY that spectrum. My specialty is economics and geopolitics, and people like you and the others on the right can fight it out all you want without me, because I study empires and the decadence that makes them fall. I don't support Trump, I didn't support Obama, I didn't support Bush, I didn't support Clinton, but I sure as hell let you all debate the little things that have nothing to do with Brzezinski's Grand Chessboard and the ebb and flow of capital around the planet, because that's your version of free speech and you feel very happy about yourselves, even though you're apparently a slave of consolidated [purchased, with MONEY] domestic media that can "shove ... libertarianism down [your] throats" despite the fact that American propaganda was legalized for use AGAINST Americans in 2013. You're the recipient of what you consume, and that's why you're not a "citizen" but a "consumer." In other words, AGAIN, all that matters is your MONEY, and you live the life of intellectual kings and queens in your head. Ultimately, the only thing that matters as a human is one's TRIBE: family, friends, and neighbors. The world is not "ONE," America is not "ONE," everyone is different, and the idea of one's mental foes is generally FAR worse than the people themselves. When this empire falls -and we will- it will be your tribe that matters, and you will need good relationships with them above everyone else who wants what you have and will take it when the opportunity presents itself. Stop talking above yourself in this thread, pull back the reins of your useless politics, and craft better relationships with the people who immediately surround you. Yes, I'm telling you what to do because I know more than you. But more than anything, this is my lesson for you: JOBS keep people from rioting in the streets, not ideologies. THAT is why we are currently not selling our children, selling our bodies, fighting the military in gun battles, and seizing food trucks and water tankers with our weapons like in Venezuela. Go love and be loved, you dumb fuck. And maybe say a prayer for people who allow the country to still exist, especially in your own home town.
