Those are all good points (although attempting to defeat Hitler in a horrific war can hardly be considered as doing nothing about the situation).vegetariantaxidermy wrote: ↑Sun Sep 13, 2020 9:11 pmThey could have equally forced 'saint' Churchill to walk through there.

However, that wasn’t the issue I was attempting to raise in my post.
No, I was simply trying to show how easy it is (even in modern times) for a demented (yet charismatic) human to capture and control the minds of other humans into thinking that he is their savior when, in fact, he is about to lead them into hell.
It is a reflection on my constant harping about how humans are sleepwalking through life on earth, with some of them being in a far deeper state of unconsciousness than others, thus more susceptible to delusional influences in the greater “dream” of reality.

Re: Trump - a puzzling enigma
The Nazi's treatment of people never came into the reason for WW11. Wars are about power and money. If they have given a damn about people then they could have just assassinated Hitler or got him out of the way the same way the US and GB have done historically on a regular basis (usually to relatively decent leaders).

well, the last guy to fit that bill didn't exactly lead us into hell, but he did depress our economy, denigrate 'murica over and over, saddle us with a ludicrous gov program that solved no problems, and even so, his worshipers thought he could do no wrong, goin' so far as to have kids in school sing his praises
sure, ORANGE MAN has his devotees (and shame on them for bein' so) but not all of us are like that...I reckon, in fact, most of us who voted for ORANGE MAN in '16, and who'll vote for him again in nov, see him as, as I say elsewhere, the great flummoxer & hand grenade...we didn't hire him to save us: we hired him to confuse the enemy & wreck shit..for us, ORANGE MAN is not an endpoint but a waystation...he'll serve his purpose and then, mebbe, we'll hire another person to erode gov and flummox folks who think they have a better handle on a man's life than the man himself
that ORANGE MAN actually did a few good things in his first term is gravy to us

However, regardless of the validity of your assertions (of which I basically agree with), once again, you are missing (or purposely ignoring) the point of my earlier post.

Re: Trump - a puzzling enigma
henry, as much as I am loath to admit this, I tentatively agree with your insistence of the need for a (shake-up) change in the way the American government is doing things, especially with respect to the rest of the world.henry quirk wrote: ↑Sun Sep 13, 2020 11:08 pm well, the last guy to fit that bill didn't exactly lead us into hell, but he did depress our economy, denigrate 'murica over and over, saddle us with a ludicrous gov program that solved no problems, and even so, his worshipers thought he could do no wrong, goin' so far as to have kids in school sing his praises

However (and unless you have been pulling our legs), you have proven that you couldn’t care less if a complete idiot simply takes over and destroys everything.
The problem is that most people in the U.S. don’t have your mountain man (hillbilly) attitude and are simply not ready to catch, skin, and eat squirrels (or whatever it is you do) to survive, while trying to avoid the taxman and those pesky revenuers comin’ to confiscate your still.
Most people with at least two brain cells to rub together and who can see the need for a change, nevertheless, don’t think it’s such a good idea to let a petulant, lying, spoiled little brat of a child, play with a loaded gun (or with nuclear launch codes) as an experiment to see what happens.
As Lennon once sang:
Clearly, Trump is nothing more than the head ramrod of your demolition crew.John Lennon wrote: “...You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world...
...You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan...”
So let’s see your blueprint plan for what comes after the old edifices are torn down and you still have three hundred and thirty million men, women, and children who still need some semblance of an ordered situation in which they can make a living.

a wrong-headed opinion
The problem is that most people in the U.S. don’t have your mountain man (hillbilly) attitude and are simply not ready to catch, skin, and eat squirrels (or whatever it is you do) to survive, while trying to avoid the taxman and those pesky revenuers comin’ to confiscate your still.

hyperbole, opinion, nonsense

only thing you've gotten right so far
So let’s see your blueprint plan
I've posted quite a bit about the chartered natural rights libertarian minarchy I favor...it ain't a blueprint: it's a roadmap to recognizin' & preservin' life, liberty, and property...go take a gander, if you like
for what comes after the old edifices are torn down and you still have three hundred and thirty million men, women, and children who still need some semblance of an ordered situation in which they can make a living.
all I see here is who's gonna take care of me?: get thee to a charity (associated catholic charities does a fine job providin' for the damaged, the weak, the incapable

Re: Trump - a puzzling enigma
Thank you, commonsense (and atto).
Now I am not naming any names here, but, again, I believe that the problem we are dealing with in this thread (and with the world of us humans in general) is related to my earlier suggestion:
Thanks again for your kind compliment, it is much appreciated.
