Statism is a death cult.
It’s sad & infuriating that our society seems as sociopathic & bloodthirsty as the criminals posing as the people’s agents & directing the illegitimate state's enforcers to commit all its horrors against all the faux boogeymen of the day
Pat Buchanan, 1999:
“By moving NATO onto Russia’s front porch, we have scheduled a twenty-first century confrontation. … America will face a hellish dilemma: risk confrontation with a nuclear-armed Russia determined to recreate its old sphere of influence, or renege on solemn commitments and see NATO collapse.”
Therefore, he said, “Offering NATO memberships to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and, as some urge, Ukraine is rashness bordering on madness.” Referring to maps the Clinton team must have ignored, Buchanan warned, “This would put the Russian base at Kaliningrad behind NATO lines and bring into a U.S.-led alliance three nations with huge Russian minorities.” Foreseeing future conflict, he observed that “Latvia is almost half Russian; eastern Ukraine, almost entirely Russian. America could neither defend nor liberate these nations without the risk of nuclear war.”

“There is no democracy.”
“There’s only feudalism.”
“I see the game now.”
“Peter Thiel’s philosophy is the exact same philosophy as Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama.”
“Or any of the socialists.”
“Bernie’s job is to channel your revolution energy into the Democratic Party.”
“Just like AOC.”
“AOC was gonna knock down the House, remember?”
“And what did she do?”
“Vote with Israel.”

They not rich because of innovation and hard work. They're rich because they're government contractors.
"Self-made" is a fairy tale.
FINALLY: Someone brave enough to join the @ADL in denouncing one of America's greatest evils, one that we have endured since the start of the film industry in the early 20th Century:
The exclusion and marginalization of Jews in Hollywood. Solidarity, @SachaBaronCohen. 🙏
@HowieCarrShow Prohibitionists are morons, motivated by narcissistic behavior, control, and the enjoyment of watching others harmed and/or punished. These are powerless people, attempting to satiate their twisted desire to be powerful and employ aggression and force at any opportunity.
