“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.”
― Alexander Fraser Tytler
Somewhere between the lost-and-found and la-la-land, apparently. The distinction seems to have escaped you. But I suppose when your entire contribution to a discussion is reduced to “found the Jew,” there isn't much room left for an argument, much less an original thought. Still, congratulations on locating something. Reasoning, unfortunately, remains missing.
Is this just another fictionalized political narrative in the tradition of Maurice Joly's "Dialogue in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu," where elaborate conspiratorial narratives are dressed up as profound revelations about who is really controlling the world?
And are you simply retelling the story of all those people staring at shadows on the wall in Plato's metaphorical cave, while the one person who has supposedly seen the sun tries to warn everyone about the puppet masters behind the shadows, feeding them the lies that keep them chained to the cave? It sure appears eerily similar.
The great thing is that, for all of Cenk’s profuse cascades of human irrigation physiology, accompanied by his prolix, apoplectic outpourings of rage and indignation, the land he farms with his effete farm-animal companions remains every bit as non-arable and mineral-deficient as the human capital he employs to disguise just how fallow, barren, and intellectually infertile the whole enterprise actually is.
Nothing Cenk has raged about has changed a thing. It’s entertaining, though, so keep at it, Sweaty Face.
They don’t have one, except for the country of Israel, which is recognized by the UN and by most sovereign states, rather than by countries where consanguineous marriage rates are among the highest in the world and where certain practices involving the sexualization or abuse of very young girls have been culturally or legally tolerated.
@VividProwess I love it when this guy looks like he’s about to have a cardiac arrest. This guy is all brawn and unbridled rage. He couldn’t fight his way out of a paper bag, even if incentivized with a free ticket to an all-you-can-eat buffet.
Where is the analysis and context? I’ll fill you in when I have more time.
It’s so tiring to hear these repetitive, mindless rhetorical political talking points. Every one of your naked points needs to be contextualized. I know that reduces their political effectiveness as a weapon against the full truth, with its historical and chronological contexts and timelines not purposely omitted.
