My counterargument to your first point is that the opinion of "the people" is irrelevant. Even if 90% of people wanted infrastructure projects like desalination plants or reservoirs that feed into the Colorado River basin or a Mexico border wall or breaking up the banks it doesn't matter unless they all march on Washington D.C. or Wall Street with weapons...THEN it might matter, but good luck getting that many people to attend - not to mention the (((media))) would immediately decry these attendees as "racists" or "white supremacists" or "terrorists" or whatever and the retarded people will believe what the (((media))) says.SJConspirator » 21 Jun 2021, 12:38 am » wrote: ↑ how did I contradict myself?

I KNOW that the stalemate in DC is by design, it’s all kabuki theatre. My point is not that the parties are hopelessly deadlocked - THE PEOPLE ARE. We are incredibly divided, and that’s why nothing can get done- there is always half the population opposing any agenda just because of who brought it to the table!
it’s not that human nature cannot be cooperative, we have built the interstate highway system, the Suez Canal, Mount Rushmore, etc.. we put a man on the moon, which took enormous resources and collective will.
It’s a sign of the times that we cannot come together anymore for any good purpose. It’s a reflection of how easily people are divided once you introduce television and internet for a few decades, and sling nonstop propaganda in ways that stimulate the brains of the peons with pixelated, endorphin rushes of nonsense and lies.
If the people cannot ever come together, even on matters of facts and common sense, it matters not what the politicians do.
Mister Bismark was also quite aware of what forces could destroy him. Therefore he felt forced to make compromises.Polar1ty » 21 Jun 2021, 12:50 am » wrote: ↑ My counterargument to your first point is that the opinion of "the people" is irrelevant.

Human nature necessitates disagreement over how they think society should be structured. We have fascists, anarchists, libertarians, socialists, liberals, conservatives, primitivists, etc. debating what policies should be implemented. These disagreements have always existed.
Yet there were politicians in the past (just look at Otto v Bismarck back in 1890) who ruled with an iron first and managed to get their agenda passed as long as they were skilled and powerful enough. They didn't need "the people's opinions."
The "people's opinions" don't matter unless people miss 2 weeks of meals and go hungry and can't feed their children or something.
This is getting way off topic but my point throughout this thread is very simple:
Modern liberalism in practice simply amounts to a managed system with all the exterior functions and architecture of a republican system of governance. In practice it serves a small clique of oligarchs whose loyalties do not lie with "the nation," "the people," or anything of that sort. Since these oligarchs are the ones who have the most political sway, it makes sense that they get to decide what happens with the country, and you (an ordinary citizen) have no actual say other than casting a vote for a mouthpiece at the ballot box every [X] years or writing some anti-oligarch posts on LF.net/some online forum.

This is why a person could potentially argue that Bismark was a superior statesman to Hitler. And I wouldn't really disagree.
Compromise is part of the art of politics. Bismark knew how to compromise.

The Epoch Times is retarded. They say the CCP is corrupt (show me a "non-corrupt" government and I'll show you some pixie dust/unicorn wings) but they didn't sell out their people to the highest bidder.
Rank-and-file conservatives are just useful pawns/tools like their liberal counterparts. It's really all entertainment to me (as a bystander).
Fascists like yourself understand the nature of power, but have difficulty gaining a foothold in the era of liberalism (even if it's in decline).
Lol...
How could that be possible... we are talking about so long ago, Scots probably had barely invented the wheel, let alone a boat to get to Egypt

There must be something in the Caucasian genome (a fatal gene) that forces whites to embrace altruism, a high degree of honesty/integrity, etc.
Do you think if Jews ran propaganda campaigns to convince East Asians to "pay reparations" to [X] groups or to allow hordes of brown people from Africa/the Middle East/Central America/etc. into their countries, those initiatives would ever succeed? lol

White people by nature don't like blacks either lol.Polar1ty » 21 Jun 2021, 1:17 am » wrote: ↑ Well here's a good marker.
In China they discriminate against black customers/employees. Many Chinese businesses refuse to serve them or entertain the idea of hiring them.
If China starts passing "anti-discrimination" laws under the guise of "civil rights" it means they've been infiltrated. Chinese people by nature are not altruistic.
