@caringguy1957@Milajoy Definitely different. She stole justice from the families of the victims, and she saddled taxpayers with paying for lengthy incarcerations.
She’s so frikking stupid.
@AOC:
“The U.S. Senate ‘was founded on, uh, you know, Jim Crow.”
(The Senate was established 174 years before Jim Crow became a thing, and it was a Democrat thing).🤣🤣🤣
@starstomoon@1Nicdar But isn’t that the whole point? Have you ever been to a Subway shop? The person making the sandwich wears gloves to prepare and then wrap the sandwich, then they take the gloves off and throw them away to cash you out at the register. Next customer is a new set of gloves.
@TyTyNEV@LorrieAnn25@PatriotsUnite47@LangmanVince Fair enough. But I bet you still don’t appreciate he was a “pioneer in breaking the exclusionary gentleman‘s agreements that had long dominated the elite“. Give some respect to that and maybe this conversation changes. Too many people wanting to push the false racist narrative.
@TyTyNEV@LorrieAnn25@PatriotsUnite47@LangmanVince But that’s literally what the original post you commented on said. He was the first in Palm Beach. He never claimed to be the first in the US. And let’s face it, it wouldn’t matter to you if he was the first in the country. You certainly wouldn’t applaud it.
These people are ridiculous.
They have lost all tethers to a sense of self. Their entire identity now relies on this treasonous hate of America. They make up fantasies of how horrible America never was to justify their need to "fight tyranny." They have no identity but this. And they cling to it with a death grip, because they have nothing else.
None of it is true. Not the fantasy about America about which she is shrieking, not her identity of believing herself to be some "hero" in a movie about an oppressive government, and not the resulting congress-free, senate-free, President-free, childish (and completely chaotic) future she sees for this country.
She is an infant.
She and others like her will not get their way. Not even close. If you have a modicum of common sense, it's time to let your line in the sand about tolerance be made known.
Myself, I have a limit to tolerance.
I have a limit to patience.
I know there is a limit to free speech.
If your plan is to tear down the United States of America, if your plan is treason, I will not tolerate you, I will have zero patience for you, and I will not defend your right to free speech.

@ErikPBrown1@joeroganhq Two things. First, he has a platform and is using it to voice an opinion he obviously feels strongly about. You have feet and control where you spend your money.
Second: see below.
The Merchants of Chaos — The Core of Communism
Communism no longer comes for your property directly. It comes for your reality. Its instrument today is not confiscation but chaos – deliberately manufactured, strategically amplified – because chaos is what communists thrive on, what they use for control, and what they convert into profit and power for themselves. The mechanism that makes this possible, the fuel that runs the entire engine, is the Systemic Lie. That lie is not a feature of communism. It is its core.
What has changed is the method, not the logic. The twentieth century version required tanks, gulags, and the literal seizure of property – crude, visible, and ultimately self-defeating, because it destroyed the productive base it fed on. The twenty-first century version is more subtle and pernicious. It does not confiscate. It destabilizes. It does not seize your business. It makes owning it too costly, too regulated, too risky – until you comply or collapse. The transfer of power happens without a single deed changing hands by force.
Chaos is the new collectivization. Every manufactured crisis – racial, climatic, epidemiological, institutional – follows the same structural logic: disorder is produced or amplified, fear is maximized, and in the ensuing panic, transfers of power occur that would have been politically impossible in calm times. Emergency powers. Regulatory capture. The slow erasure of the boundary between public and private. You do not notice the expropriation because you are too busy surviving the emergency they built for you.
This is not coincidence. It is rational strategy. Chaos redistributes – not randomly, but toward those who anticipated it, positioned for it, and in many cases quietly produced it. Some benefit in absolute terms: assets acquired at collapse prices, power seized in the vacuum, information asymmetries converted into control. Others benefit only relatively – they simply outlast the rivals the chaos destroyed. Both kinds of beneficiary draw from the same account. Yours.
The Systemic Lie is what holds the mechanism together. Not ordinary propaganda – something more total: a managed reality in which the categories of thought themselves are corrupted. Productivity is renamed exploitation. Order is renamed fascism. Resistance is renamed hate. The Systemic Lie does not merely mislead – it destroys the conceptual tools by which people would otherwise identify what is being done to them. A population that cannot name extraction cannot resist it. That is the design, not a side effect.
This is why communism survives every empirical refutation. It was never a falsifiable theory. It doesn’t care about the truth – it only seeks power.
It is a coordination technology for extraction, wrapped in moral language sufficient to paralyze its opponents. Strip away the egalitarian vocabulary and what remains is a system perfectly engineered for the few to live at the expense of the many – while the many are kept too confused, too divided, and too guilty to see it. The lie is not incidental to the project – it is central.
The chaos and the lie are the project. Name them. The naming is the resistance.
What the West Still Doesn’t Get It:
Communism’s True Core: The Systemic Lie
Most people in the West think they understand communism. They picture bread lines, gulags, failed five-year plans, and the collapsed Soviet Union. They treat it as a discredited economic theory – an experiment that proved that abolishing private property doesn’t work. Case closed, history moved on.
This misunderstanding may be the most dangerous intellectual failure of our time.
Communism was never primarily an economic system. Economics was the surface. Beneath it lay something far more insidious: a total, systemic, institutionalized commitment to lying. Not occasional dishonesty. Not spin or propaganda in the ordinary sense. Something deeper – a civilizational war against truth itself, waged through every institution, every classroom, every newspaper, every conversation, until reality itself became negotiable and the lie became the air people breathed.
The Words We’re Missing
The Polish language, forged by decades of living under this system, produced words for this phenomenon that English simply cannot match:
Zakłamanie [zah-kwah-MAH-nyeh] – a state of total, pervasive, socially embedded falsehood, a condition in which an entire society is saturated with lies so thoroughly that truth becomes almost inaccessible.
Obłuda [ob-woo-dah] – a deep, performative hypocrisy, the gap between what is proclaimed and what is actually practiced, the mask worn so long it begins to feel like a face.
These are not words for individual liars. They describe a system – a mode of social organization built on organized mendacity, where the lie is not the exception but the foundation. English has no single word for either concept, and that linguistic gap is not a coincidence. It reflects a gap in experience. Cultures that did not live under communism lack the vocabulary because they lack the wound.
And because they lack the vocabulary, they struggle to recognize the thing when it reappears in new clothing.
The Continuity: Communism, Leftism, Wokeism
What we call wokeism today, or the broader radical left, is not a new phenomenon. It is the same operating system running on updated hardware. The specifics have changed – instead of the proletariat, we have marginalized identity groups; instead of bourgeois class enemies, we have racists and transphobes; instead of socialist realism, we have DEI statements. But the deep structure is the same.
That deep structure is this: truth is not discovered, it is assigned. Reality is not something to be understood honestly but something to be narrated strategically. Language is not a tool for communication but a weapon of power. And anyone who resists the approved narrative is not simply wrong – they are dangerous, and must be silenced, shamed, or destroyed.
This is zakłamanie in its modern form. This is obłuda wearing a human rights badge.
The same movement that insists men can become women will insist, with equal fervor, that questioning this is an act of violence. The same institutions that claim to champion free inquiry systematically suppress dissent. The same people who invoke tolerance as their highest value are among the most intolerant forces in public life. The contradiction is not accidental – it is structural. It is the system working as designed.
Why the West Still Doesn’t Get It
People who grew up in freedom tend to assume, at some level, that bad actors know they are lying. That somewhere behind the ideological performance, there is a cynical operator who privately acknowledges reality. This assumption is wrong, and it is why Westerners consistently underestimate what they are dealing with.
The totalitarian lie, at its mature stage, is not cynical. It is believed. Or rather, it creates a condition in which the distinction between belief and performance collapses entirely. People learn to say things they do not believe so fluently, and for so long, that they lose access to what they actually think.

@AveryDaye So Mr. Vang has not been in his home country since he was a child, yet he also uses the excuse of “cultural norms” from his background. Not a very good argument for assimilation. But a great one for deportation.
@JxRemington@ArturoJr_Builds@megbasham See my response. Put yourself in Erika’s place. How would you like it if people unattached to the investigation were floating horrific conspiracy theories that harmed you and your family? Seems like a reasonable response.
