Rolling Stone reveals Trump already swing state election officials ready to deny 2024 election results

[Scustin Bieburr]

The irony is because it is a "freer" country, it's easier to exploit. But decades of undereducating and not squashing the South's rebels in the Civil War lead to cracks in the foundation that might never get repaired.

America's Achilles heel is on both feet.

On one foot: the paranoia around communism during the cold war which led to pointless proxy wars, a major L (Vietnam) and the destabilization of Latin America and billions in wasteful spending like the star wars project. To this day, Americans are so paranoid about communism that any government program that actually helps people can just be labeled as socialist and then it dies. Nazi elon musk literally posted a picture of kamala Harris claiming she's a communist.

On the other foot: the paranoia around race. The souths leaders should have been publicly executed and the south should have been occupied for at MINIMUM 60 years so the people who remembered the slave economy died out and their descendants understood clearly how profoundly fukked up what their ancestors did. There were black elected officials and thriving towns run by black people that were only destroyed and killed because the north didn't have soldiers there to tell the mobs to fukk off.

Exploiting those two weaknesses has yielded excellent results for America's enemies. I won't be shocked if another terrorist attack pops off in the next few years which will force America's hand again to stupidly try to fight a conventional war against an enemy using guerilla tactics. They'll bleed us financially while we continue to argue about dumb culture war shyt here and keep stupidly trusting billionaires.

Once America's middle class crumbles and the wealth is fully concentrated in the hands of 5-10 men, all they'll need to do is sit back and enjoy the show as America falls apart.

Spot on.

Stalin gave the West the perfect boogeyman. I get communism was a spectre prior to his rise and capitalism tried to form a bulwark against anything that resembled it; union's, social security, unemployment insurance; but Stalin's paranoia led to 20 million dying and we easily could use him as an Osama Bin Laden-esque caricature to absolve ourselves of any critical-thinking. America doesn't like to critical-think. Unfortunately it's a symptom of being on top.

For what it's worth, I don't think communism works; human motivation doesn't work that way, and central planning just doesn't work. However, I do think we need to have socialist elements; which far too many people conflate with communism; or the population loses faith in the system because far too many people at the top have collected everything for themselves. I was listening to something on Peter Thiel yesterday, and I've been studying dude for awhile. That whole PayPal Mafia; throw Eric Schmidt and a few others; is some of the closest things to pure evil I've observed since the gilded age. They basically think they are divinely ordained to dictate others.

I get annoyed thinking about it, because the initial founding document of the country, to me is one of the greatest things ever written. Just in practice, we've been such a sloppily governed country, I'm surprised we didn't collapse during the Civil War, the 1929 stock market crash, the 1968 riots, the 2008 recession, and once again all this goofy right wing interference and Russian collusion right now.

We can't keep getting lucky...

Yep.

Those MAGA rednecks feel like Russia is the 'pure' version of what a ethnostate of Christian fascism looks like with a 'strong' dictator like Putin and feel like Russians are their distant cousins, over Americans that are not white.

Trying to tell some nikkas about this is like Bardock trying to tell the other saiyans about Frieza

Damn shame, right?
