@nikitabier@RtrnSanity Vance alteady does this. His speech on Minnesota fraud told a story of a veteran who died b/c he wasnt actually receiving services some fraudster was being paid to deliver
@KemiBadenoch@fionagoddarduk This is good but insufficient when a large number of people are convinced Brits and Americans deserve retribution/reparations for Colonialism and Slavery. Until the left abandons that idea, we’re playing a different game.
Let’s be honest though: the looting began with offshoring American factories to third world countries, depriving working class Americans of reliable jobs. Maybe it began before that, with the emptying of farms into major conglomerates. We need to reshore, restore competitiveness across many industries. And that’s just a start.
@TheFourMarks Sally Blount ran the Kellogg School of Management while I was a student there. She’s now CEO of Catholic Charities. In many cases our “allies” are merely controlled opposition and that could be the case here.
The difficult truth is that the mobility of capital and hegemony of the American Empire have made our elites an entirely deracinated and mercenary class
Why invest and sacrifice for one nation when you can take your money, skill, and power to pretty much any other nation and have roughly the same level of influence and prosperity
Instead of elites competing to rule any given people we have nations competing for the meager attention of a globalist elite
Insane. I lived in DC from 2006 to 2010 and Union Station was bustling and clean. Hard to believe it descended into squalor in the intervening years, especially given so much of DC has gentrified.
Watch this until the end. This a video I took of Columbus Circle outside of Union Station in Washington D.C in 2022. Union station is two blocks from the US Capitol. It is where thousands of tourists come through every single day, both domestic and international, to witness the glory and grandeur of our nation. Columbus Circle is a national monument and is managed by the Department of Interior which, at this point in time, was under the Biden administration. This is what tourists used to see every day when visiting the seat of the federal government.
This is what progressive policies look like in action. Progressivism is simply brutality and ugliness hidden behind supposed empathy. It is shameful and disgusting.
Make no mistake: decline is a choice, not an inevitability. You will always receive what you vote for.
When we say we want to make America beautiful again, this is what we mean. This is embarassing at the least, and outright evil at worst. It is a mockery of our nation and our values.
@TinPotPourri@GregoryKBovino@lsferguson@ImpressionsOfTx Reagan Republicans went one of two directions and you chose the wrong direction. Illegal aliens had a good run, made a ton of money, and made rich guys get cheaper services while suppressing working class wages. Time to unwind the shit show that’s created.
Hip hop / rap became the most popular type of music during my formative years. 7th - 12th grade. Without a strong alternative, many of the ideas it promoted shaped my conception of the “good life” for many years until I realized it was the opposite.
Unpopular opinion: Hip-hop culture has done enormous damage to society.
It glorifies crime, promiscuity, materialism, and disrespect towards others, while convincing young men that these behaviors are admirable.
Society eventually becomes what it celebrates.
Unable to defeat the warlord on the battlefield, they captured his son, turned him into a ladyboy, and paraded him in a female minstrel show.
This was a humiliation ritual practiced by a degenerate tribe that viewed dishonor and degradation as substitutes for honor in battle.
