@Bobby_2021 And this is why I want America to downsize it's democracy to a hybrid form of autocracy and democracy, like the Roman empire. We in times of peace can switch on democracy, but in times of war we need a strong minded leader. There's just too much multiculturalism, feminism, egalitarianism, hyper capitalism run amok, with hyper individualism in USA, and frankly now most westernized societies are suffering from this American ideology. We desperately need to roll back and limit democracy.

@nerdspeak Which is why I'd like democracy to be downsized a bit, a more limited republican democracy, with more senate seats and limited voting powers. Too much multiculturalism, egalitarianism, and hyper capitalism/individualism is eroding America's current government. However, I think it's unlikely to be fearful of another Trump. Currently in polls he's not popular enough to win another election, so this fear mongering is a bit over exaggerated. The only way for Trump to win, is for Biden to fuck up badly enough that most of America would rather have Trump. And at that point it's the will of America that wants Trump, damn the consequences. Again, I don't think he'll win, and this fear mongering is a bit silly.

@Etherial Cat Unfortunately you haven't really addressed my points above with your post below me. First of all, even since Russia has been the first western country to have legalized abortion, their homogenous population has been on the decline for many decades. That's a fact. They have went too far with the atheism/secularism, went a bit too far left, and allowed that to damage family and traditional values, even Christian values that Russia did have. South Korea's feminism and egalitarianism problem, from adopting America's ideology, has crippled their birthrates and replacement numbers such that within 2 decades the manpower they enjoyed over North Korea will equalize. Why? Because at least with North Korea they still manage to reproduce and replace lost citizens, meanwhile South Korea has been infected with hyper capitalism and feminism, now their males have fewer options, never mind dating, but when even marrying and starting a family they are finding it far more difficult to do so because of work culture and females can easily say no and can divorce willy nilly. Hyper capitalism and individualism such, plus feminism that allows females to say no, which is fine at first, but when your country is struggling to reproduce itself and lacking replacement numbers, the country now has to outsource to mass immigration. Cue USA/UK and some EU countries. Thanks to Neoliberalism, and America destabilizing those bad autocratic and theocratic societies, such as Iraq at one point, then Haiti, and several more, in the name of egalitarianism, feminism, multiculturalism, and democracy, they instead make it more miserable for that native person to live within their own homeland, therefore making them migrate to westernized countries instead of staying and trying to fix up their society, their society that is being eroded by USA western values. On top of that, divorce rates are increasing now, which contributes to broken homes and single parent households and fathers. Mainly the black community have been suffering this for the longest, especially in America, just a lot of divided and broken households due to high divorce rates, and that 50% split from the marriage, and finally some struggling with work and income that the divorce sometimes just wipes out and makes your financial situation FAR WORCE! Now here I am arguing with logics and facts, and I am being nice. In comparison you are being mean, insulting me and assuming I'm some ugly trout that can't date or marry or lead the most exciting degenerate lifestyle imaginable. I don't care. I'm arguing for the high increase of divorce rates, decline in birthrates, and that we actually need to downsize our democracy a bit down, half autocracy and half democracy, just like the Romans did. All you have are fallacies and ad hominems thrown at me. Ok.

@Nivsch Stop treating Israel like it's another America, it's not that diverse.

@Hatfort Yeah, all this could've been prevented had Palestine been a statehood.

@Hatfort Great example of propaganda and brainwashing. Crazy to see it happen to a woman...

@Loveeee I wish they were, but I am human enough to assume they're real people most likely, which is...very disappointing.

@Nivsch Which is a good thing, because if you did, that's called thought policing.

@gambler No, Saddam was the right leader for Iraq at that time. Main reason why the Iraq war even started was because 9/11 was blamed mostly onto him, and A.I.P.A.C members were pressuring Bush to go at Saddam in Israel's interests. Not only that, but the new military doctrine was also being implemented, the shock and awe, which is mostly different from previous doctrine. Had the USA followed the previous doctrine they would've managed the fallout far more easier than when they abandoned traditional military strategy for fancy high tech fast invade, kill the snake at the head, and...oh shit we don't have enough military personnel to impose martial law, so we'll just let the locals sort themselves out with their new 'democracy' government', made by America, forced by America! You can say a lot of negative things about Saddam, but he's actually a strong leader, fit for his time. That's the kind of leader Iraq then needed most, not some flimsy American patented democrat poppet at the ruler's office. Iraq war was IMO a cluster fuck of mistakes that never should've happened like it did!

@royce Good share, and a great essay! Wish more would read this.

@Nivsch Of course he can think whatever he wants about you, especially when in this thread you and others keep thumbs up and hearts emoji and beach pics at have been so out of touch with how gruesome this situation is for the Palestinians then and now. The psychopathic tonal change is insane!

@aurum Yes, just half of a democracy, like the Romans. A true republic government, a smaller and limited democracy is needed in the face of too much multiculturalism, egalitarianism when in some cases it doesn't work, and too much feminism when it doesn't work across to other countries. Just like past leaders, dictators. Nothing new here. In fact in recent polls Trump isn't as popular as he started 4 years back, so this whole fear mongering by the left is a waste of time, he's unlikely to win. In fact why the fear mongering at all, especially from Biden's side when he's already now unpopular enough not to win?

@Etherial Cat The main reason why is that there's such a thing as too much multiculturalism, feminism, egalitarianism, and individualism run amok. Birthrates have been declining in western countries that have adopted American ideology, and swung to secularism/humanism too much. In Russia they have the most severe birthrate crisis out there due to legalizing abortion early on, and same with Japan and South Korea. It's gotten so bad that some western countries, led by Neoliberalism, destabilize or try to 3rd world countries that are mainly theocratic, in which they can and do reproduce replacement numbers. This is one factor of mass immigration that's also causing most people a headache to deal with. We need less or limited democracy, not more of it. More of it will degrade the social fabric of a nation faster, leading to anarchy and too many voices. Also, unlikely Trump may win this election, so IMO a bunch of left wing fear mongering.

IMO if he say's it's unlikely that Trump may win, he's likely right: For Trump to win, he'll need that same amount of support he had before he was elected, and for the leftist administration to have antagonized the central and right wing, and even working class citizens. Does Trump still have that same support? No. It's diminished enough that he'll not win. Trump's victory hinges on Biden having a COLLOSAL failure that embarrasses himself and his administration, so much that this'll reignite support for Trump!

@aurum What is up with all this fear mongering over Trump? I think if he's in charge there'll be a smaller, limited form of democracy. A half autocratic and half democratic government.

@DocWatts It could also be the case that Trump might be that stupid enough to let all of America's government be total autocracy. It could be half autocracy half democracy. Just like it's similar to the Roman empire's government.

@Jayson G Me too. Are you an online streamer? Seems like it's common to watch anything at 3x. I also skimmed the 900 pages. I'm still understanding the thing, but at my free time. and pace. I know a bit of politics. Can you show us what ChatGBT said? What's really going on? Leo's posts or the trump situation? More authoritarianism. IMO it's desirable because feminism, egalitarianism, multiculturalism, and liberalism is run amok, there's too much liberalism in America, and declines in birthrates in most westernized countries due to legalized abortions without strict controls and regulations. Russia for example, due to it being the first country to try secularism/humanism, and legalized abortions, are now suffering from replacement numbers within it's own nation. Same with Japan, same with South Korea, same with most EU countries. We need a kind of government like the Romans, limited democracy, more senates with less voting powers. Like Roman empire it needs half military and autocracy in times of war, but half of it is democratic in times of peace. Much better if it's like this. IMO not all Christian nationalists are bad, example is Andrew Wilson from the Crucible. Very decent guy, good debater, reasonable person. Not all Christian nationalists are lunatics as Leo paints them to be. His gripe is actually more the stage orange than stage blue types. The reason why is too much democracy, and the failings of the Obama administration, which allowed Trump that opportunity. America is just not ready for socialism or progressivism. Yes, people say a lot of crazy stuff. It's the internet. The implications of a smaller, more limited democracy is priceless for the future. We need a smaller democracy and to reign in too much socialism thinking. What it sounds like with that German guy commenting on that video, is the type similar to those that fall victim to Armageddon or apocalypse scenarios. They're IMO a bunch of conspiracy theorists with little better things to do than to spread fear and worry. All the understanding you need to know is we desperately need a more limited government, with a limited democracy.

@Bobby_2021 Plus I don't like the latest blog posts. Sounds like he's off his meds or something, Jesus.

@Bobby_2021 Are you hoping Trump will win the elections? I don't mind.

In practice most gamers are immature, but sometimes there are mature gamers out there too. A sign of a mature gamer is someone who doesn't take the games too seriously, just like some players in Civ games. I'm even experimenting in playing the India civ with liberty opening, to see if that 100% unhappiness from number of cities is an actual weakness because they did put their unique unit, the war elephant, replacing the chariot right after reserching the wheel, which IMO is a sign of game design that India should be played more like honor/liberty opening than tradition, yet has this civ unique weakness to it's population growth...

Another example of an incident which does not require belief in superstitions. This DID HAPPEN:

@OBEler It's not a question of if I or others believe in a deep state, it's a question of if it exists, it exists without need to question the belief. Same scenario if you asked me 60 years ago, if I believed there are sharks, and sharks in lake Michigan. At that time, you'd be valid in asking me such a stupid question because most in Michigan don't believe it's possible for sharks to be in lakes, yet after divers found juvenile and baby teeth of bull sharks, it then became a thing. Same scenario if you asked me if I believed in spirits and ghosts existing. No, it's not a question of belief, it's if they exist or not, which they do. Same thing with Big foot and asking me if I believe it exists. I don't believe it exists, and belief is not required for a creature to exists, which it does in the deep wilderness.

@bebotalk Stop gaslighting us, we all know you're a secret Trump supporter. Picking on an old man because he's apparently unfit? Disgusting! You should be ashamed of yourself for bullying an old man over some alleged points and difficulty in speaking! Mentalist!

@Hatfort This guy's been ad homineming almost every user here, and other fallacies! And it's not just him either, there are more doing it even in the last thread that got locked because of this.

@gambler These were actually good posts! Don't let the others discourage you and make you edit stuff out!
