I made, let's see, 3 assertions, and asked, er, 2 questions, and -- for the life of me -- I can't seem to find any rebuttals or answers (or challengin' questions) in your response.popeye1945 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 21, 2022 7:38 pmYou are just demonstrating your own literacy on the subject, not uncommon with the American public.henry quirk wrote: ↑Sun Jun 19, 2022 2:02 pmAlways?

Re: America has completely lost the plot.
Are you saying America does not have an imperial past and its own form of colonialism? The Americans just took over the British colonies in a different way after the first world war. The Brits knew they could not get their own way in the world without the backing of America, this is when the power structure shifted. Before that you have the colonization of America itself and the genocide of the native population. If you are truly that ignorant of your own history I am not going to sweat it out with you. Buy some boooks.

America doesn't; the United States does.Are you saying America does not have an imperial past and its own form of colonialism?
You know the difference, yeah? You should: I explained it to you at least once recently.
Shall I explain it again?

Yes, please do. Are you inferring the people are not the United States?

Re: America has completely lost the plot.
I infer nuthin'. I boldly state: America is a nation (several actually) of free men and women (and kiddies too). The United States is a small group of men and women who serve and who perpetuate a particular iteration of The State.popeye1945 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 22, 2022 9:33 am Yes, please do.

These are two distinctly different groups.
Unfortunately, anywhere from a third to half of those free folks, Americans, believe the United States serves them. They've been conned and their submission to The State muddies the waters.
Now, I've asserted: should I offer evidence to back it up?
Yes? No?

Don't get to uptight, just trying to fully understand you. I'll ponder this a bit and get back to you. At this point I don't know what to agree or disagree with.

Americans lost the plot a very long time ago.

How, EXACTLY, is one so-called 'free' if they HAVE TO DO what they are TOLD TO DO?
And what 'evidence' do you have to back up your 'assertion' that the human beings from the bottom of "chile" to the top of "canada" are 'free'?

“Infanticide, wokeness, Marxism, the climate hoax – they are all just colors of the rainbow of evil, tenets of a pagan religion that fills the void in their souls where God should be. Invertebrate sissies insist that we should temper our joy, that we should not rub their smug, scowling faces in their defeat, but no. That is misguided sissy-talk from the losers whose spineless refusal to confront evil before it infected every institution allowed the disease to spread to the point where tattooed manatees with blue hair and piercings are out in public shouting their abortions, reveling in the blood of babies in what amounts to these people living out their daddy issues on a societal level.” - K.

Except what’s written in the Bible….because what you see written in the bible is what the bible wants you to believe.
Reality check…fish face.
Let’s give thanksgiving to the fish. Fish tales are not for sale. Fish are free.
There’s always something very fishy about a fishwife.
Fish do not know the water in which they swim. You are a fish.

Gloat. Get in their faces and make them know they and their garbage fetishes are going into the recycling bin o’ history. Here’s how it is, progs…
We win, you lose.
You do not get to kill babies.
We keep our guns, and we will carry them around.
We are not giving up our SUVs or smoked brisket to please some frigid Santa Monica cat lady’s angry weather goddess.
We are going to run our schools our way, with no commie nonsense or gender studies weirdness.
And there is not a damn thing these ridiculous whiners can do about it.
They must learn that they have lost. So get gloatin'.
