And more people are tired of vermin like Trump attempting to nazify the country.  This should be taken as a warning that Trump and his supporters need to start acting like actual people to prevent stuff like this. 


Is this a warning that if the right wingers in the USA don’t smarten up they will get taken out too?

This is why liberalism is dying. You're actual bitter, hate filled people.

Interesting comment, as a sizeable portion of the conservative political base has F Trudeau on the back of their trucks around where I live.

Nationalism is natural when people are treated like shit, can't afford anything, are dying of drugs and suicide, being bogged down by rampant immigration, divorce rates are at an all time high, and the moral fabric of society is completely degenerated. People are unhappy. The slope is slippier than a slip 'n slide, and it's all coming crashing to a halt.

 

This is what happens when liberalism goes too far, and it's reaching a breaking point. Normal people who just wanted to be able to have families and be left alone are going to turn into radicals. It's already happening.

 

Don't shoot the messenger.

 

 

To fuckin late bro. You're not far from being on a watchlist somewhere.

"We're pointing at the guy crawling up the roof." Did it occur to them to pick up a phone and call 911? Dispatchers would call Police and probably know to communicate to the Secret Service who would act right away.

 

How does some rando see this while the FKing *Secret Service* doesn't?? Don't they check roofs/areas to secure them & gain viewpoints over the area?

 

This is the top protection service in the world, what a failure.

Could definitely be construed as a consequence of the domestic terrorism that Trump has been engaging in.  Maybe cutting that out might be beneficial.

So yes.

 

You're suggesting that nationalism is in fact a good thing or at least reasonable because liberals or at least liberal social policy is bad.

Nationalism is a hell of a lot more moral, common sense and understandable than liberal democracy.


Look at what Nayib Bukele has done for El Salvador. Wiped out crime almost completely in a very short amount of time. Or, Rodrigo Duterte "solving" the drug/crime problem. This is what people will be looking to instead of Trudeau, Poilievre, or other completely stale politics that don't change anything.

 

People want change. People want politicians to actually fundamentally change things. This is why Trump got elected initially. He didn't really even do much good while in power, yet he still has about 20% of the country who would probably literally take bullets for him. Merely for talking tough. What do you think the fervor will be for leaders who actually do something?

Democracy isn't perfect.

But I'll take Democracy over an Authoritarian regime.

It doesn't matter.

 

If people think their posterity is in danger of being destroyed, they will take action. And a hell of a lot of people in the west are concerned about the future of their nations and what their offspring will have to face moving forward.

 

Whatever the hell we're living in now is not sustainable. People don't want to see their nations turned into international economic hubs. People want nations to be proud of.

The media is going to have a field day with all of this.

He stared into the abyss of nihilistic philosophies of Russian writers like Aleksandr Dugin and the abyss stared back.

 

 

Duginism is awful, but it's a lesser evil to liberal democracy, and that's saying something.

And WWI.

 

It was war between nations but started a bit different as it was mostly a war between aristocrats. Most of the monarchs were relatives to each other.  They commanded people they have power over to kill strangers.  A striking situation in Tanzania is when African black people were fighting the Indians due to their colonial masters German and British, respectively.  

 

Once the ordinary peasant Russians figured it out, they overthrown the Tsar and withdrew from WWI.

But in 1914 everyone was waving the flag and being all patriotic. Then a generation got fed into the meat grinder. That kind of caused chaos too.

That's why extreme Nationalism is something to be wary of.

This lack of self awareness is what people are tired of.

 

Acting like liberals don't stereotype "conservatives" and right wingers as snaggletooth, hillbilly "Bible thumpers" and despise these types of people is disingenuous. I see this literally all the time.

 

Right wingers see you as snobbish, conceited narcissists. And honestly, it's often not far from the truth. This is why they hate Trudeau, Freeland, and the rest of the liberals.

I find that hard to buy that you believe that considering you're just as nihilistic as he is on Liberalism and the social fabric of western society and also passing off his book on the '4th political theory' as research. Not to mention one of the things on his playbook is to destroy the west's confidence in democracy and liberalism by espousing the very talking points you are making.
