@crwiley1962 You summed things up deeper than you think. Whether in Europe or here the conflict is actually between white classes. Those people hanging out with each other in New York don’t care about rape gangs or teen takeovers because it hurts their “inferiors.”
@MikeBinderjokes Great analysis Mike. I think what is an uncomfortable truth is that for these mainly white liberals, whatever this wokeness is, has become their religion. Excommunicated is the right word. They would rather see their home burn than live like the white chuds they look down on.
@RobProvince Gin Rickey? She may not want to go home with me but maybe she’ll at least dance the Charleston with me. Which is precisely the year the last Gin Rickey was ordered.
Lo más impresionante del Mundial en Estados Unidos es que no tuvieron que hacer prácticamente nada para recibirlo.
Catar levantó estadios desde cero, construyó un metro completo, rediseñó carreteras, hoteles y barrios enteros, inclusive cuando terminó el evento dijeron que iban a regalar un estadio porque les sobraba.
Sudáfrica tuvo que erigir estadios nuevos, estacionamientos y obras masivas, fue una inversión multi millonaria que abarcó parte de su PBI.
Brasil quemó miles de millones en infraestructura y terminó con un presidente preso por corrupción (Lula), al final todavía estaban las obras cuando comenzó el evento.
Rusia remodeló medio país para estar a la altura, y aún así se veían las deficiencias de infraestructura como de transporte y otros.
¿Y Estados Unidos?
Cambió el césped en algunos estadios. Punto. Nada más. Nada de megaproyectos, nada de obras faraónicas, nada de “reinventar” ciudades.
Y esto pasa porque cuando ya tienes infraestructura de primer mundo, el Mundial no es un problema sino que es un trámite.
@Mrstanleycup I worked at the bakery on ridge pike for 4 summers during college. It was hot and loud but paid union wages when my buddies were working at the mall for 5 bucks an hour. 30 years later I can still smell the place coming in at 4 am off the blue route.
@b_co_co This is a little murky. Is it that 5% of all teachers are millionaires or are they 5% of all US millionaires? If they are 5 % of millionaires in the US and doctors are only 3% than per capita amount of millionaires of docs BURY them in orders of magnitude
@ClayTravis Bush tried this and was laughed off the stage. Does it make sense? You bet. It would last until an inevitable bear market which would cost the GOP a generation of any federal power.
Politics is downstream of culture. But culture is downstream of demographics & money flows. Once you understand that, a lot of what's going on in the country makes sense.
Let's take L.A. mayoral race for instance. No, Pratt is not going to win. Yes, Bass is an abject failure. But people don't vote based on a checklist of policies but rather based on their personal values and self-interest.
L.A., like many major U.S. cities, has undergone a radical demographic transformation. There isn't much of a functional White middle class - the group that fueled the rise of the modern American conservative movement and was the reason why CA used to be a GOP leaning state. What L.A. now has is a wealthy liberal elite (mostly White), large mass of poor/working class Latinos & Blacks who rely on government programs, and some young professionals trying to move up (they're also heavily liberal, particularly unmarried White & Asian women).
Pratt's critique is factually correct but it doesn't matter because a majority of L.A. voters benefit from the current dysfunctional liberal regime. They get government handouts & see crime/homelessness/high taxes as the price that the wealthy Whites should pay to fund their lifestyle. Simply put, demographic transformation has resulted in deterministic race socialism, an ossified identity politics that is divorced from the long-term well being of the city.
What's happening in L.A. is happening throughout the country. NYC, the country's largest and most important city, now has a foreign born socialist mayor elected by Third World immigrants & unmarried college educated White women.
This is also why right wing commentary is cringe & low IQ, as it fails to honestly discuss these issues and instead dances around it, engaging in pathetic bouts of copium. Whenever a right wing pundit or "strategist" mouths off, I have one question for them: if you were the dictator of the U.S., what policies would you implement to ensure the conservative vision you advocate for?
There are only TWO, I repeat, TWO correct answers:
-Immigration moratorium
-Rollback of the feminization of American institutions, especially universities
That's it. Don't come at me with dumbass shit like "more tax cuts," "increase defense spending," "giving tax breaks to couples who have kids." Nah bro, stop with that boomer retard drivel. This isn't 1984 when Regan won 49 states on a message of standard economic conservatism. Wake the fuck up and know what time it is.
@ClayTravis Of course it is, but I live here and it’s no more America than Bolivia is. This state has no allegiance to anything other than to a giant communist grift. You can say it’s inexcusable all you want. The citizens and the politicians they vote for couldn’t care less.
@WallStreetApes Democrats didn’t do this. The people who voted for them did this. People walk through this everyday. They see, smell it and heaven forbid, taste it. Make no mistake about it they would rather die at the hands of one of these people than be called a name.
@CollinRugg Move along. Nothing to see here. Also outside of the national security interests the more this is happening it tells me there are gargantuan amounts of money to be lost with the revelation of what we know. Breath taking amounts.
@MissJilianne@Dan34017970@peta Everyone should realize every one of these lefty project organizations (climate, BLM, code pink, etc.) are communist first and foremost. They really don’t care about their issue as much as the revolution and destruction of western civilization.
