Camps built during Obama era? People who shouldn't be here? Harassed and intimidated how? We're losing billions of dollars to scum who don't respect our laws.

How are voting and freedom of speech being threatened again?
$167b over ten years. US GDP is like $20trillion per one year.

You know we have mexicans in internment camps, thousands are currently being harassed and intimidated, and we are currently watching a leader actively try to deny people of basic political freedoms like voting and freedom of speech, right?
Our social ills are no where near as bad as china’s. Not worth bringing that up, precisely because people here are aware of these things and will probably Change our leadership at the ballot box in a few months. China doesn’t have that option, and honestly, the problems of the United States don’t really compare. I think the only real analogy is our black prison population, probably our greatest social ill, and that happened largely because of the congressional black caucus in the 90’s insisting on mandatory minimums

Imagine looking to Europe for the truth lol

“Patriot”


Loooooool

Run for office, anything other than pursuing your political goals is just bitching from the sidelines in a democracy.

Tell your base Europe sent you. See how it plays.

I totally agree with you that capitalism is the best economic system, and I've been in the trenches pointing out the utter failures of socialism literally every time it's been tried. The problem, though, is that capitalism can only exist in a country that is small, with high IQs, and an altruistic/non-tribal/hard working culture. We have not had capitalism in the US for at least 100 years, unless you seriously think that free markets can exist when trading in fiat currency that is constantly created and given to the well connected. Look at what happened with Kodak just this week:
  • Kudlow & Trump give Kodak $765 million in loans "to create a pharmaceutical startup over the next 8 years". I have no idea what that means and neither do you.
  • The day before the announcement, Kodak's CEO is granted 1.75 million options "shield Continenza’s overall stake in the company from being diluted by a $100 million convertible bond deal clinched in May 2019".
  • The day before the announcement, 1.6 million shares of Kodak change hands at $2.50, vs the usual 80,000.
  • Kodak now trades at $30 per share. So another $1 billion transferred directly from taxpayers to the swamp.
This is why I cannot support Trump any more, and why I believe that after he is reelected he will abandon any pretense of trying to serve his base and turn his efforts into helping the American people come to terms with our de facto status as a colony of Israel. The timing of these corona virus lockdowns is remarkably convenient for the globalists; otherwise more people might be wondering if some of our economic problems might, just maybe, come from the various Central Banks of the world.

The wild card to me is the Internet. Imagine someone like Nirgon writing these things 4 years ago - people have woken up a lot. But will it matter when everyone is employed by BigCorp and dependent on corona virus stimulus cheques? What fraction of humanity is actually capable of creating a decent civilization? I mean, if any nation had a chance it was Sweden, a nation with an average IQ of 105, tremendously altruistic genetics, and a population of only 10 million. And look at them now: no one can use Sweden as an example of socialist successes any more! I sadly think that the fraction of us who could grow up in a capitalist paradise and still have the willpower and motivation to maintain it is a straight 0.0. The 'good' news is that we are about to go back into the tank for a new round of painful biological and cultural evolution.

I wouldn’t trust most doctors here as far I can throw them. While I would say universal health care is inherently better than the US, the system here is pretty sub-par for quality. Prior to seeing any specialist you have to see a GP for a referral, and many times they will misdiagnose or flat out refuse a referral. Here’s some paracetamol, now get the fuck outa here.

As far as masks. For months now masks have been required on any public transport. Just recently they are required in certain busy areas in Amsterdam and Rotterdam due to spikes in both cities.

https://www.dutchnews.nl/news/2020/0...dam-rotterdam/

It boggles my mind that masks haven’t been required inside shops here. Went to Germany about two weeks ago and was required to wear a mask inside. Went to Belgium last week and they’re now requiring masks at all times, even outside due to a recent spike mostly in Antwerp. Dutch people are inherently stubborn as fuck though, so I’m not surprised. Every time I go shopping I have to stop myself from yelling at idiots who refuse to social distance, or have to pick and look at every damn zucchini on the shelf before not even buying one.

And surprise surprise, the cases in the Netherlands are starting to rise just as fast as they did in February.

You know when i see people do that in the store ( the zucchini ) i get right up in their shit

i say you done squishing all the tomatoes? All that and you arent even going to buy any?
