It's incredible and sad that we know it's happening and still can't manage to stop it.
I watched zero dark thirty today bc i have no life. It makes me proud of team america and grateful for having the best intelligence and special forces on our side. But I couldn't stop thinking about how scary it was that assets like the cia and seals could be turned inward on all of us one day. And in the case of the cia, they already have been, like with the spying on trump. |

US Culture, and truly civilization a whole, looks like it peaked in the late 90s and we're just in for a downward slide until death. Things were always getting better every year the first two decades of my life but since ~2000 everything has stayed the same or gotten worse. Cosmetic changes and variety, but that's it. We're stuck. |

True, and this is one of the little factors underneath it. Every generation in America did a bit better than the one before. Until now. I heard on the radio this week about how millennials are the first generation to have it worse than their parents, and I believe it. There's a lot of pieces to the puzzle, you can't just shrug it off as millennials are lazy, entitled morons who made bad choices. Offshoring America's wealth for global "free trade" helped make that mess, too, reducing opportunities. Then there's the social progress America has made, which leaves little undone. I somewhere read that when a society has erased most of its injustice, it starts to make mountains out of molehills, and elevate what had been really minor things to the level of major social injustice. See today's emphasis on "white nationalist extremism." There really isn't any such thing as white bigotry in any meaningful sense, but society focuses on the little things and makes normal people out to be monsters when they didn't do anything wrong. |

Yes, but it was a period of radical social change, precipitated by extreme "progressive" policies like "land reform" and attacking organized religion. In Spain, the Whites won instead of the Reds, a rare exception. But there was still a massive social upheaval that nobody got through unscathed. People fleeing the country to avoid the conflict, people getting conscripted into one or the other side's armies, propaganda on both sides, social disintegration. We've stepped from the ladder to the top of the slide. Get ready to take a ride! |

Quote HistoryThis... There is a major difference between our situation and previous leftist genocides: This is coming primarily from women and effeminize men. No civilization can rule without the support of the warrior class and a strong majority of masculine men do not support the left's agenda. Any crackdown is going to go sideways real fast. They do not have the support of the police, fireman, construction workers, bikers, truckers, vets and active duty military and they are rapidly losing the unions. We are the majority and they are afraid of us. Their agenda is extremely unpopular outside of a handful of cities and a backlash is inevitable. Once that backlash starts there is nothing they can do to stop it... |

Here's another thought: except for a few immigrants who came here from places like Cambodia, Yugoslavia, nobody in America knows what it's like to live through this kind of social upheaval. As I said in the OP, it's an abstract thought exercise for 99.9% of Americans, even those of us who think we see clearly enough to know what's coming. We can cite the historical examples, but we don't know how it is to live through it. I suspect there's a feedback loop that happens, as people lose their shit and start contributing to the cycle of unrest, breeding more social disintegration.

And, it's not just us. By 2050 the CCP wants to be the world's preeminant economy. It will need Taiwan to have it's sense of completion. There is no better time than when the US is in turmoil.
Iran desparately wants to unify its people. The best way to do that is to attack Israel. Israel knows that, and has promised to attack Iran pre-emptively if we rejoin the Iran nuclear deal. There is no better time for Iran to attack Israel, and likewise no better time for Israel to attack Iran. So, we're looking at a spectacular time for world turmoil. |

I was living in Nepal in the ‘90s when the Maoists slowly took control. First on the village level then winning national elections. After they murdered the royal family, they assumed absolute power in the resulting political vacuum.
My point is, nobody sees it happening until it already has. |

I'll repost this; as America is unique in one way no other country in History is. There are men here and there is a 2nd Amendment here.
We are simply allowing them some space -- for now. Until we dont. "The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of "Men who wanted to be left Alone". They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, the lives as they have lived them, are over. The moment the "Men who wanted to be left Alone" are forced to fight back, it is a small form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. . . . Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these "Men who wanted to be left Alone", fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at the Left's door, and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy . . . . but it will fall upon deaf ears." |
