I'm italian and I know I shouldn't really have any say on this topic since very similar movements and ideological "values" are very present in Italy and all over Europe, but, and please be brutally honest, what makes Trump so attractive? It's not a provocative question, I seriously want to know why Trump supporters are supporting him. take time or take aurums (Gò»#-_-)Gò»~~~GòºGòÉGòº [FSTNM SCDNM] #PortDust514

Fox Gaden Immortal Guides 7853	Posted - 2016.09.27 15:45:00 - [6] - Quote I have to admit to having thoughts of Silvio Berlusconi when watching the US election, although Trum is probably quite a bit worse. I think the current situation in the US is a result of political spin. The masses have come to recognize that the scripted way politicians talk is often used to obscure the truth. Since it takes too much work for under educated people to sort out what the politicians are hiding they have simply stopped believing anything the politicians say. Therefore, because Hillary Clinton is a long time politician and talks in a careful and rehearsed fashion a large portion of the US population does not believe her, even when what she says is proven to be true. Donald Trump on the other hand does not sound anything like a politician, so people think he is honest even when the stuff he spouts off is proven again and again to be false, lies, or complete fantasies. The distrust of politicians was exacerbated by the housing crisis and the recession which hit the White American middle class really hard. Watching their government bailing out the Banks that took their houses was a bitter pill to swallow, and made them hate the establishment in both political parties. This added to the popularity of both Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders (depending on whether you leaned left or right). Add to that a large segment of White Americans who used to feel like they are inherently better than everyone else because they are "American" and "America is great!" having to confront racial guilt as the ongoing civil rights movement continues to point out the inequities and injustices in American society. Lets face it, it just feels a whole lot better to think you are better than everyone else, than it does to feel guilty. It should not be surprising that a segment of society is sliding back into racism in order to feel better about themselves. The slogan "Make America Great Again!" actually translates into "Make White Americans fell Great Again!". Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else there is the Learning Coalition.

My *opinion* is painted by the history of my own past political views, experience, and in witness to the opinions of those around me. It's just an opinion. From my observation, Trump is perceived as a political outsider that tells it like it is---their words. It is something that many can project their frustrations and biases onto and see reflections of a no-holds-barred aggressiveness that they would like to be part of. He speaks to the emotional frustration of a specific class and then targets "others" as the cause. I don't mean specifically race, nationality, or gender---his comments can be vague, but the individual will hear justification in fears that that individual may have already thought of; but when it is race, nationality, or gender, it becomes a focal point. Every loves a good witch hunt. To put it simply: he validates. My guess is a lot of it also has to do with two simple facts: 1) He is our guy. In that sense, it's a football game. I love my team and hate yours. But that's what politics seem to be coming to regardless of sides. 2) His opponent is Hillary Clinton. She has her own history and baggage to carry. I typically lean Democratic but she gets on my nerves. I can imagine how easy it is for those already on the other side of the fence to hate her, when emotion is a strong impulse. Any word from her mouth also validates ;) Iderno, man. Scares the sh!t out of me, TBQH. kitten bacon taco (nom)

Hell, even Nixon might have been able to make a comeback. I am a Hillary supporter because she is unlikely to drop a nuclear bomb on a third world country. It is a sad commentary on an election when that is how you pick your candidate. Hillary's campaign slogan should be: "At least I probably will not make things much worse!"

Interesting tho because I find what you say quite accurate, but probably not for the same reasons. We are ruled by elites, well, yes, I believe that's actually the point of representative democracy, while the "unlimited wealth elites" part is a direct consequence of capitalism (but still, don't get me wrong, I'm not a fervent marxist), capitalism that is way too stressed in American society as far as I can tell, I'd call it a form of "extreme" capitalism that is indeed not good at all. The endless war part, I would also agree on that, but again, for different reasons. A good part of American GDP is directly linked to war economy and (in my opinion absurd) gun legislations, while another good part of it is inderectly linked. It's much more complicated than "pure evil", but let's just say that in my opinion some countries need war for their economy to be stable and growing, and no, that's not a good way (like, at all) to induce economic growth if you ask me. The debt will increase, well, of course it will. If it didn't the country you're in woldn't be growing. Our economy, the "sane" part of it at least, is based on debt. It's really the cardinal point of all economic theories. But, again, just take my words for it, since it would be overly complicated to explain such a wide topic in a forum post. Just wanted to clarify my position Still my question was another: I was asking why would people agree on some of the most extreme Trump positions? Wall, muslims, gun control, NATO and so on. take time or take aurums (Gò»#-_-)Gò»~~~GòºGòÉGòº [FSTNM SCDNM] #PortDust514

I particularly appreciate your point that Trump supporters like him because he validates there desire to blame the "other", and that "other" might be different for different voters. It comes down to the "my life is ****, but it is not my fault!" mentality. Trump validates the "It's not our fault" mentality and encourages people to blame someone else, which feels good.

I thought that such things would have never existed in America, since you're basically all immigrants (and here I'm purposefully provocative). See, you're not the one seeing the parallel between Berlusconi and Trump. As an italian, I can say they have much more in common than what you may think.And would also agree that it may be a bit more dangerous since being the Prime minister of Italyis not as influential and "militaristic" dangerous as being the President of the USA. take time or take aurums (Gò»#-_-)Gò»~~~GòºGòÉGòº [FSTNM SCDNM] #PortDust514

Wall, muslims, gun control, NATO and so on. Because he validates fear and frustration and directs blame for that onto emotional talking points. That may not be so black and white, but the people agreeing aren't interested in gray sliding scales. To me, it's irrational to rally for a man as a champion for the middle class when he claimed that he is smart for not paying taxes. There is no investment of education, infrastructure, or even military. But my friends are not interesting in debating those points, only pointing fingers and getting caught up in emotion. To me it seems that baser emotions are strong attractions. Not for all of his supporters, of course. But the one's I know here, it's primary. That and disgust for Clinton. Then again, that's emotion too so eh. kitten bacon taco (nom)

True that, but if you ask me, what people usually don't get is that orwellian concepts sometimes fits even better in the "anti-enstablishment", "anti-immigrant", anti-whatever positions. We have a great example here in Italy too with Movimento 5 Stelle right now. But don't want to talk about anti-enstablishment becoming sometimes even worse than the previous-enstablishment. take time or take aurums (Gò»#-_-)Gò»~~~GòºGòÉGòº [FSTNM SCDNM] #PortDust514

If your life experience has created a prejudice against blacks? Then it's their fault with the BLM movement. If you're charged up on immigration, then your witch is a Mexican crossing the border to steal your job. Or whatever. I'm not saying that there aren't problems here. There are. But nothing is so black and white as people want them to be. In a culture of right now, and immediate gratification that we are becoming, details matter less. It matters even less when emotion and anger take hold. Hm. Again, I can't stress this enough but not all Trump supporters fall into this!!! This is my own frustration with friends and family.

I thought that such things would have never existed in America, since you're basically all immigrants (and here I'm purposefully provocative). I am sure you could have found plenty of Native Americans 300 years ago who would have supported building a wall, or some such strategy. Although admittedly, looking back they probably would have been fully justified. But more to your point, the grand kids of immigrants will see themselves as native and have concerns over those foreigners coming in and messing everything up. There was a time in America when the Irish and the Italians were not considered "White". Newcomers always start as a threat and a couple generations later become just part of the establishment. Of course the exception to that are those who were brought to the Americas against their will. To accept them into the establishment would be to accept that they are equal, and to do that would entail accepting the guild of what was done to them, and no one likes to feel guilty.

Unemployed people like the yell about those foreigners taking their jobs, but what American wants to do the crap jobs the Mexicans do? With no migrant labor a farmers would not be able to get their crops harvested, then the Americans driving the trucks and selling the vegetables loose their jobs. When you really look into it immigrants create more jobs than they take, but in the end it is easier to blame someone who looks or acts different for your problems than looking for the real cause.

The anti-german propaganda has been going strong ever since, so that no one would dare question how we got here today. History is a sham. While this is accurate... Same goes for Italy. You might not notice it if you ever visit Italy, but most of the infrastructures, the modern justice and the highest growth rate was exactly during the fascist period. It would also be interesting that the fascist Italy was all pro-immigrants from everywhere in the world. Black-italians, asian-italians back then didn't exist. They were just italians since they accepted to "be" italian. This is, of course, due to a strong leader (read dictator) being in charge of pretty much anything, but still the ethical point with Germany here is very different. A.D. pushed policies against a certain "race" first and then pretty much against "all other races", and that's "probably" what is very wrong among with pangermanistic views. Talos Vagheitan wrote: That's why they maneuvered Germany into war with Poland over Danzig ...this is not. If you read the Mein Kampf he clearly stated that the German people "needed the vital space" See, Germany's example is not the best, anyway. German people are absolutely capable to stand up on their feets and recover astonishingly after every defeat: think about WWII. They lost, Germany was basically a giant ruin, but still recovered that much that right now it is the leading country in Europe. take time or take aurums (Gò»#-_-)Gò»~~~GòºGòÉGòº [FSTNM SCDNM] #PortDust514

So don't tell me a country can't function without perpetually skyrocketing debt. That's beyond ridiculous. Other leaders who have tried to eliminate the private central banks? - Gadaffi - S. ******* - Assad - Ahmedinejad - Jong un. Anything in common with these people? At the time Germany basically refused to pay their debts and turned into semi-autarchy (just like Italy did). This was one of the things that worsened the great depression (worldwide), while it didn't touch Italy or Germany because of said autarchy. You can perpetually skyrocket debt, but you'll have an hard time finding more money if you reach a certain level since investors won't trust you and won't lend you money. At this point you'd want to print more money, but if you print too much currency, you risk a severe inflation that, needless to say, is not beneficial. Think about Argentina, Zimbabwe and Venezuela. The rest, unless there's empirical evidence I'm not aware of, is conspiracy theory in my opinion. take time or take aurums (Gò»#-_-)Gò»~~~GòºGòÉGòº [FSTNM SCDNM] #PortDust514

It's also people voting for him as a way of saying frakk the system. Some might argue that Trump is the system, but he's not. I'm not supporting him by saying this. He doesn't owe anyone anything. Congress has no control over him because digging up any dirt on him never worked. He has said some of the most craziest comments that are sure-fire ways of killing one's own chances of even getting a party nomination (let alone the presidency) yet here he is. He has gone and pissed off almost every member of his own party and likely that of the entire Congressional leadership because they now know they can't keep him under a leash. He is absolutely unhinged. Colin Powell was right about him. Just criticizing him at all is only emboldening him. He is, in a way, a troll. And what's the first rule about dealing with trolls? Don't feed the troll. And what did every politician who was running for office do for the past 2 years straight? They gave him the whole buffet. And his ego is so large I don't think it can even be measured. And the worse part about this is that the people who are likely to vote for him probably* do understand who they are voting for this time. And that is sad because then that means we can't trust the usual politicians anymore. Every member of Congress has so many skeletons in the closet (or Cabinet in some cases) that people would rather vote for someone who they at least know is crazy than to vote for someone who is just likely to do more of the same thing.

Actually it might have been much easier to list the countries that are not dangerously swinging to the far, far right. And they are all there cheerleading for Trump.

Germany surely didn't want to take over the world back then and the "good guys" didn't won, but they didn't loose either. It's not totally black nor totally white. I'm aware the story is never truly "black and white", however that's more or less exactly how it's incorrectly taught. The common narrative today is this - US: Freedom loving good guys who saved the world. THEM: Evil satanic monsters who wanted to ruin the world. That's basically the message the History Channel tries to deliver. Propaganda. Winners write the history. Quote: As I remarked in a earlier post, it's totally right to search for the truth, but shaping the truth to achieve a goal or to justify behaviors is a different story. You may have noticed it, the happenings you are reporting really happened, and we both agree on that. On the other side, I may very well ask you, as you did, why did he invade Austria then? Why did "his future best friend" Mussolini deployed the Stresa front against Germany if Germany wasn't really going to attack Italy after Austria? I'm not trying to achieve any goal. I believed the version of history we're all taught in school until I started researching it from a neutral standpoint. I wanted to hear the other side of the story and compare. The deeper I looked into it the more lies and exaggerations and omissions I discovered. In no sense of the word did Germany "invade" Austria. Nor did they "Annex" Austria which is also a popular term. The pressure for unification was strong in Germany and Austria amongst the people. A referendum was conducted in both countries and the support for unification was nearly unanimous. Even post-war historians don't dispute this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austrian_Anschluss_referendum,_1938 Quote: The rest is, as always, political and strategic interests. There's a certain "something" in the middle east and looks like the whole world wants it! Spain had a fascist leader and an Ally. Why would he invade Spain if he already indirectly controlled it and, moreover, if he directly contributed to Franco's rise to power? Same goes with Japan, it's strategical thinking. You'd prefer to fight USSR and China on two fronts with an ally. And still this doesn't mean that he didn't consider them "inferiors". Again, I know A.H. considered the whole mediterranean population "inferior" since it was already a mixture of nordic/southern races, especially in Italy, Spain and Greece. Look up Gibraltar. Gibraltar was a British naval stronghold on the southern tip of spain. This gave Britain a tremendous advantage over Italy in the Mediterranean. Seizing this base would have been a major factor for the North African campaign and given a huge advantage to Italy and Germany. Germany put a lot of pressure on Spain to either join the Axis, or at least allow the Wehrmacht to march across spain in order to seize this base. Spain however, declared their neutrality, and Germany chose to honor their neutrality. So telling me that there was no strategic advantage with Spain is completely false. Japan was Allied with Germany before the outbreak of the war. Simply saying "He allied for strategic reasons and still thought they were inferior" comes off as a guess to me and seems like your reaching to fit this into the common narrative. I can also tell you that in Mein Kampf, A.H. actually specifically states in one paragraph that he has a lot of admiration for the Chinese and Japanese cultures, and does NOT view them as inferior. If you really want I could dig up the exact quote/page from the English version of the book, and then verify it with the German version. Quote: One might say that historic revisions are just for truth's sake and that's fair enough. Everyone loves (or at least should love) truth. Still this doesn't mean that you should justify what A.H. did to whoever didn't have the same opinion nor justifying the plain racism he enforced later. And I just don't want to talk about Na.zis Lagers. If you're going to doubt their existence I can tell you, as an italian, that at least there was one in Stolberg since my Granfather have been imprisoned there just for being member of the Italian Army after the armistice. So, yeah, I'm pretty sure concentration camps really existed. A lot of history needs revising. You're taught a version of history bu the same people who told you Iraq had WMD's, that Vietnam attacked America in the Gulf of Tonkin, that covered up the USS Liberty incident, and have basically been lying their way into wars for our entire lives. The amount of lies I've discovered regarding WW2 is staggering. Just regarding the concentration camps... Of course every country has war-time prison camps. Some things you probably didn't know however: Britain invented the modern concentration camp in the Boer Wars. These concentration camps however were filled with the wives and children of the Boer soldiers. They starved the families of the soldiers to death in order to break the spirits of the men, which worked. Do you regard that differently because it was Britain who did it? Or do you hold Germany and Britain to the same standards?... Join the DUST STEAM GROUP

As I already said, everything you say is pretty accurate but our interpretation of the shady part of history is different. I may bring into discussion the letters exchange that Mussolini had with Churchill in order to "save" Italy from the imminent disaster, I might even tell you that he never liked A.H. defining him as a " stupida, piccola scimmia " in early fascism. But would just this, change the overall opinions on the "ventennio"? Well, no. Opposition was truly suppressed or exiled, as much as it is true that Italy (and Germany) had a spectacular rise in all the main "state health" indexes: occupation, wealth, GDP, military power and so on. Italian fascism, as already stated, was all pro-immiogration and the widespread consensus (at least in Italy) is that Mussolini's real fault step (if you really don't want to count in political repression of oppositions) happened almost two decades after his first day of government with the approval of italian "racial laws" and the subsequent "germanization" of Italy. Knowing this, does it make any difference? Not really. You may simply re-evaluate Mussolini's early figure, and come to the conclusion that it was neither a black period but for sure it wasn't a white period. Winners write the history and that's true. Still, the real somehow unbiased history is always there, you might not learn the same history at school, but you can get an idea of how things went just by doing researches. On the Anschluss referendum, it was much like presidential elections in Russia: just give the people a fake referendum, even if you already know who will win. See, Austria was already occupied (12 March 1938) before the referendum (10 April 1938). And before that, there was a tentative coup (assassination of the filo-italian prime minister Dollfuss), the fact that Italy was no longer guaranteeing help to Austria in case of invasion, and years of turmoil where Germany kept asking things basically saying do this or I'll invade you (1936, 12 February 1938 and finally 12 March 1938). It was pretty clear who would have won the referendum in an occupied country with zero military power. It was an invasion, masked by a referendum. On the japanese argument: Japan's cooperation in the fight against the Soviet Union would be welcomed if the Japanese advance to the south should run into difficulty because of supply and equipment. (GÇëA. H., 2 June 1941) Japan, at the time wanted either to expand to the north or to expand to the "natural" Japanese sphere of influence on the pacific islands and south-east Asia. I guess A.H. was just hoping for a "go north" strategy by Japan that would have closed USSR in a bilateral war that would have probably never won. As we know, this never happened, Operation Barbarossa was the usual, silly attempt to invade Russia from a european country. It is , in fact, a common opinion between historians that if A.H. never attempted to invade Russia we would have seen a much different history. Same goes if Japan ever decided to "go north". But this never happened, so it will just be speculations. On the racial point, japanese were (I'm probably mistranslating here) "Honorary Arian" (I like to translate it this way because, well, someone here I'm sure will get it). They were fairly "high" in the phantomatic "Racial superiority chart" according to A.H. because they have never been "mixed" with other races. That's really it. It's like they were "sopportable". For the other points, well, yes, I agree. People generally prefer to demonize Na.zi Germany much more than Britain, Italy, France and USA. But I want to stress that this would never condone what all of these country did back then, and it should not condone anything at all. The fact that "all of the other countries did the same or worse" does not mean that it was right to do so. Also, again I might repeat myself, it's fairly common knoledge here in Italy, don't know there, that 1) Iraq never had any kind of super secret weapon 2) Americans needed a casus belli to start the war in Vietnam and simply made up the second attack (while the first was very real) Don't know anything about the USS Liberty, I'll try to get some informations about that. To your last question: it's pretty evident. No, I'm not. I want to stress that everyone has his fair share of guilt and I also want to stress that even knowing this, it's not even right to completely shift from bad to good and from good to bad. One last thing: disgusting acts against human rights are disgusting acts against human right. Whoever enslaved and killed other people because of ethnicity ( and I'm also pretty sure that talking about ethnicity is even pointless since even if there were different ethnicities, they all mixed up very long time ago), nationality or whetever other reason is disgusting. take time or take aurums (Gò»#-_-)Gò»~~~GòºGòÉGòº [FSTNM SCDNM] #PortDust514

This was H's response to France and Britain's declaration of War on Germany. Audio transcript of A.H. speaking very specifically about why any there should not be a war. He specifically details Germany's views and relations with every single country on Germany's borders, lists concessions Germany has made to avoid war, and further concessions he is willing to make to keep the peace. When France and England reject the offer and commit to war, H offers this response. After the fall of france, H offers this final appear to England, as a last attempt to finally stop the war. Note that he also mentions that the Luftwaffe was specifically ordered not to attack civilian targets or cities in the Poland and France campaigns. It is only when England decides to target German cities, that Germany reciprocates. Not to put words in your mouth, but if you listen to these speeches, I suspect your rebuttal might be along the lines of "he was just lying"... Well if that's what you think, please tell me what possible reason he would have to lie, in such specific detail about wanting peace, at a time when you are winning, and look all but unstoppable in Europe?

These speeches would be very counter-productive, if the official narrative were correct. What possible advantage would that offer? I haven't seen the videos yet, I'll do it later. But I'd just answer this for now. He's not necessarly lying, but certainly a peace offer when you are winning is the best time for you to make a peace offer. And A.H. knew it, he's not a statist for nothing after all. I never said he would have conquered the world, just the "vital space", just like Italy wanted to "take back control" (Brexit joke) of the "terre irredenti" (basically part of nowadays Croatia, part of Slovenia, part of Serbia and part of France) and just like Spain with Gibraltar. But The problem is right here. After WWI Germany was basically turned into a giant economic swamp. Everyone tried to deal with the WWI problematic Germany (and Austria-Hungary) in the same way they treated Napoleon. Making sure that a "second world war" never happens. Now, I clearly see the reason why the future Allied forces were so upset when Germany started to look much like what today might be considered a rogue state. From the remilitarization of the Rhineland to Austria happenings. And reading the Mein Kampf doesn't help to convey the pacific image of A.H. for sure. On a side note. Germany was not unstoppable. A.H. knew it. Mussolini knew it. In fact, Italy "enter" the war when France was basically already defeated. Want to know why we didn't join at the same time? Because Mussolini was sure A.H. was going to lose. Like, badly. You already know you're going to lose when 3/4 of the world may potentially declare war on you, and just Britain counted as half. take time or take aurums (Gò»#-_-)Gò»~~~GòºGòÉGòº [FSTNM SCDNM] #PortDust514

I trust hilary to be fulla crap, and telling half the story about what's going on vs. the fantasy spun by her spin doctors and detractors. I do not, and cannot trust Trump to have anyone's personal, societal or economic well-being as a primary interest beyond how it affects his bottom line. He's not the lesser of two evils, he's not evil. he's an A*hole who is proving the US to be as stupid as people in other nations claim we are. This election isn't a choice between two evils, it's an IQ test to see how much bullsht we're willing to be spoon-fed and by whom. Yes, I am a Goon. No, I don't care about your spacepolitik.

The generations that came before us almost feel obligated to abide by the status quo. You know, I always wondered why does the USA have only two major parties. What if you disagree with both? You should disagree with both. They're both equally flawed and designed to keep your population in perpetual stalemate. Both parties fail an making any real progress, yet they always have the excuse of joining the 'other party'... It's a sick joke and leads me back to my original point: Democracy is a sham I believe there's a third candidate, the "what is Aleppo" guy. Now that would be a protest vote. The "what is Aleppo" guy you're referring to is Gary Johnson from the Libertarian Party. But there is also a fourth candidate running for president. Her name is Dr. Jill Stein and she's from the Green Party. Both of them are third party candidates that you can vote for if you don't like the two primary options. There is technically no law in the United States that stops you from voting for a third party candidate. And anyone can be on the ballot as long as they meet the requirements set by the states. How to get on the ballot can be explained in the link below. https://ballotpedia.org/Ballot_access_for_presidential_candidates According to Jill Stein's website, she has ballot access across 48 states with 3 of them for Write-In status. http://www.jill2016.com/ballot_access Gary Johnson seems to have 100% ballot access which means you will see his name on the ballot in every state. https://ballotpedia.org/Gary_Johnson_presidential_campaign,_2016#Ballot_access So there you go. No one HAS to vote for either the Giant Douche or the Turd Sandwich. You can always go for one of the OTHER two. Just keep in mind that both of the third party candidates do have their flaws but they can't possibly be worse than what you see happening in the popularity contest right now.

Well, the Green Party, worldwide, is not a government party, is more like an opposition party, and to be honest is the kind of opposition you'd like to have in a parliament. Still, four candidates are too few, and by the way, according to the media is almost like they're only two. Even four candidates are too few to be honest, but at least if they gave them the proper coverage you would have a better choice. Hell, even the "undemocratic, bureaucracy monster" (N. Farage) gave the opportunity to all five candidates to debate. video of people speaking in English with fancy accents take time or take aurums (Gò»#-_-)Gò»~~~GòºGòÉGòº [FSTNM SCDNM] #PortDust514

But then these people are not punishing the "elite" really, but themselves. 1% of Americans will still be 1%, no less no more. Ok, I'll try to be concise: The protest vote is something useful if there's a certain quorum on elections. In that case you'll protest by voting the party that is much less likely to win. But there need to be a quorum and for sure it doesn't mean you'll vote for Democrats if you're Republican or vice versa. If there's no quorum you're just not being represented, you're just voting for someone who will not be able to run your country for years. I don't want to lecture anyone on anything really, even because as I already said I could very well say the same thing (which in many aspects is even worse) of my country. Still, if people are really so fed up of the elites, why don't they just at least try to understand why they are in that condition. It's useless to blame the "elite" when nobody knows exactly what the elite is. In my understanding, things started messing up, worldwide, with the George W. Bush government: with the taxes cut and the increase of federal spending on (in my opinion) useless stuff the national debt quickly rose and left the country in deficit. This happened at the worst time ever, and after a series (much longer of what anyone would imagine) of chain reactions, we all had a worldwide economic crisis. I am voluntarily oversimplifying things here since hundreds of pages wouldn't be enough to determine the causes of the worldwide recession. But in a few words: the "Elite" was just trying to defend their interests which, incidentally, was people's interests. You can't really blame banks for that: they lend money in order to pay you because they lost money in the first place. And they actually lost your money because of the crisis, reason why they had to lend other money from other international banks, which, of course, charged a higher interest rate because they also was running out of money. take time or take aurums (Gò»#-_-)Gò»~~~GòºGòÉGòº [FSTNM SCDNM] #PortDust514

But then everyone buy the new Call of Duty. Yeah, i agree with that more or less. But more, my point was to the comment of Trump's nomination hitting the Republican party like a hydrogen bomb. I absolutely believed that back with Palin was picked as VP running mate. I thought they would not pull something like that again in the near future. Instead, they've rolled with the group think emotion and here we are. I can empathize with those that view Trump as the F.U. vote as a commentary on trust in the political system. Or whatever. My problem there is that I've yet to talk with one person who is looking at Trump for that reason. I'm not seeing it online either. Granted, my experience is anecdotal. The ones that I do know who think on those terms aren't looking a Trump to be that finger to the man or even as a joke because they are aware that he could win and don't want to support that. Hell. I have no idea. - Pure opposition to the other candidate (in spite). - Party line divisions (football match). - Christian Conservative judgments against Clinton (past, media scandals, etc.; but that ties in to party lines if we're being honest) - Christian Conservative ties to Republican values, therefore opposing parties are non-christian by association (I actually get a lot of this where I live). - A perceived lesser of two evils (by what standard, though?) - Loss of faith in government looking to an outsider as a savior (valid, but misguided here IMO). - Businessmen and women looking to him as a role model for business ideals. - Middle class members projecting their desires to one day be a successful business owner (he's one of us, because I want to be one of them?). - Those striving for the American Dream (he will protect my taxes if/when I ever reach that dream). - Angry and disenfranchised groups who want a simple soundbite as a catchall cause for their problems. - Then there are those who seem to genuinely believe he is the better man. Personally, I think that that reasoning ties into one of the above, or a combination of them, but I really don't know. I can speculate all day, but I just don't know. I would honestly love to hear from a Trump supporter, especially if their reasons are different from what I've listed. Maybe it's just idealist principles. I can probably relate to that. I should also ask why is another voting for Hillary? Honest curiosity at this point. kitten bacon taco (nom)

It's very likely that you might run into one such person if they happen to be a former Bernie Sanders supporter. A number of his supporters have vowed to either not vote at all or vote for Trump this coming election in protest of Hillary Clinton and the DNC if Bernie Sanders doesn't get the nomination. This is where the hashtag #BernieorBust came into being. Well, fast forward to the days leading up to the Democratic National Convention and everyone found out through leaked emails (those pesky emails again) that the DNC conspired against Bernie and did everything they could to hinder his goal of getting the nomination. Many of Trump's supporters vowed the same thing if Trump didn't get the nomination for his party. They're version of #BernieorBust so to speak. But Trump got the nomination despite all efforts from the RNC trying to stop him which now only solidifies his base of supporters and there is a likelihood that a fraction of those supporters include those who felt alienated by the Democratic Party. To be fair, Bernie Sanders did try his best to motivate everyone to support Hillary simply because he doesn't want to see Trump become president, but I don't think that is enough anymore given the damage that was already done by the Democratic Party. As for Trump, his party is still largely against him. Almost every member of his own party is still opposed to him in some way. So even if Trump get's the White House, it's very likely that the Republican Party in Congress will not work with him. There is no doubt that Hillary does have experience as a politician, but the question here is more about her intentions. Is she REALLY going to enact the kind of change that she promises to the American People? Probably not. Will Donald Trump be able to enact change as he promises? I don't think so either. So we have one of two outcomes that look very similar. 1. We get a lame duck president who can't get the backing from his own party and nothing changes. 2. We get a president who is very likely to forget the promises she made and just have more of the same keep happening.

I don't want to seem rude, but if there's something I really can't stand is this kind of intervention. Let me elaborate: The "Deep State" does not exist. There's no "shadow" government. Aliens, if they exist, never visited earth. Nobody ever travelled through time. Chem trails does not exist. The IMF is simply a "tool" to prevent the spreading of an eventual economic crisis to the whole world. The Bilderberg Group is some kind of informal meeting between some of the world most prominent minds. There's no secret code in Vatican City. The Pope is not the devil. 2012 wasn't the end of the world. I can go on all day long, but you got the point. And,I believe there's no need to argue the inexistance of conspiracy theories like the ones you mentioned. If you were talking about a "deep state" which is a state that indirectly do big businesses interest, well that's actually an economic theory, part of macroeconomics. ( you can start fromhere, here, here and here...actually, it would be great to watch the whole series, for anyone ) Of course, this doesn't mean that big businesses are directly controlling the government and also this doesn't mean that you as a citizen are not having big benefits from big businesses. Even if it is almost counterintuitive, people are the ones who gains the most from their own country big businesses. And, of course, your real government will do anything to protect those big businesses (actually, there's another economic theory that says it would be better to let the economy do its flow with no government regulation... but that's just one of them, there are many, more reliable macroeconomic theories out there). On the only fair point. You're right: as far as I know your representatives can sometimes ignore their constituents will on certain subjects. That's exactly how representative democracy works. Think about brexit: the british parliament could very well veto brexit if they wanted to. Both the House of Commons and the House of Lords, but that doesn't mean they're going to. You might want direct democracy, but that's a totally different discussion. And to be honest direct democracy has many flaws too. take time or take aurums (Gò»#-_-)Gò»~~~GòºGòÉGòº [FSTNM SCDNM] #PortDust514

The only thing you got right is that I'm from EU . Have you read the discussion with Talos? I ended up agreeing with most of his points, even tho we had different point of views. He made fair points. So let's start again, why does the International Monetary Fund have something to do with Iraq, Lybia, Iran and Syria? Believe me that "America's propaganda machine" is doing nothing really in EU. As you might see in these TTIP protests in Germany, UK, Bruxelles,Italy. As you also might see here, and especially here, Eu is really not trying to do USA any favour, on the contrary, the first refers to some of the biggest businesses in USA that avoided billions of taxes in EU (mainly, Apple, Amazon and Starbucks) that now have to be payed and the second talks about Deutsche Bank that may simply not pay USA "fines" and I quote "dass wir diese Summe nicht zahlen werden". So, given that USA "propaganda" is not bamboozling much, what are the other things you talk about? Why should there be a "deep state"? And what is it? And who are the people in charge of this deep state?

Living Rock 523 Intara Direct Action Caldari State 292	Posted - 2016.10.01 17:11:00 - [108] - Quote I'm currently at work, and I will get more in depth later on. But for now, the banking systems of countries such as Iraq, Lybia, I'm pretty sure Afghanistan, and most recently Iran have fallen under control of the IMF. In each case control was obtained just after the recent American campaigns in said countries. Currently N. Korea, pretty sure Russia, and Syria are the only countries not subject to IMF oversight. This fact alone starts to paint a picture of a one world government. I am sorry to be so rude, but I'm sick and tired of the nonsense going on in my country, and to hear the same silliness from folks outside of this country is maddening. And I'm 32, live in Florida, and if it were up to me Trump, Clinton, and every politician from Mayors up would be drug out into the street and shot. Again, I will address this all in depth after work.
DeadlyAztec11 9685	Posted - 2016.10.28 16:08:00 - [109] - Quote People support Trump for a variety of reasons. One being that he isn't Clinton which is probably the most malign of reasons. People who support him based on his ideas and ' facts ' are falling for Adolf H.'s rule of mass manipulation: "Tell a lie big enough and often enough and people will believe it". If you really listen to what he says then you would see that his arguments use circular logic to circumvent the need for hard facts. This allows his persuasion to come mostly of pathos rather than logos: that is pathetic argument over logical argument. Another notable attribute of his is the ability to play into people's fear and desires (however misconstrueded they may be) through the use of the second person when giving speeches. First person references yourself (I, me, myself, mine). Third person references a third party (They, them, theirs). Second person references the person that is being spoken to (you, yourself, yours). This is a very easy way to simulate that the speaker is speaking on.behalf of the listener. It is a very passive form of manipulation and indoctrination. It is commonly used by people like sells men and entrepreneurs trying to pitch and idea. On people who don't choose to see through the veil it is an extremely effective tactic.

The thing is that Humans are social creatures, so by nature anarchy cannot last for long. People will always rise above to become leaders. Democracy forces politicians to fight for the people because if they don't the people will vote them out. Politicians are there because the people chose them to be there. Bad politicians are a product of an ignorant populous. The reason the electoral college was formed was because the Founding Fathers strongly believed that the majority of people are ignorant and that they would choose leaders unwisely. The current candidates show that this is indeed the case. The only way to solve this is to add more transparency to the government and educate the masses more. A lot of people don't even know the powers of the President or Congress, and yet expect a lot from each when often they cannot do what people believe them capable of. An ignorant electorate is the greatest threat to a successful democratic society. So even if you ousted all politicians equally capable politicians would take their place because the electorate stays the same. Put your flags up in the sky. And wave them side to side.

Well, I just know some of Trump's Domestic policies, but for sure international policies are indeed a direct threat for us (europeans), for japanese and for NATO, overall. The very only thing I may agree with Trump is about that abortion of TTIP. But yeah, let's face it, I don't really like both of them, if I were American I would just choose the lesser of the two evils, which in my opinion is Clinton, and I would have probably supported Sanders more than any other candidate. But I believe it comes down to the coception most of us europeans have of the State: which should be a social state that care about all of its people. For example we have free healthcare, state retirement plans, state education that only charge a (compared to US) small fee or totally for free if you meet certain conditions. But we probably pay more taxes. I'll make a last question, why would you "picture hilaries face next to a WW2 nazl flag" when clearly the one that has much more in common with ***** (or, anyway, the new european far right) is Trump (xenofobia, populism, plain lies, strumentalisation of fears etc)? Or, why would you picture just her and not both? take time or take aurums (Gò»#-_-)Gò»~~~GòºGòÉGòº [FSTNM SCDNM] #PortDust514
CLONE117 True Pros Forever 956	Posted - 2016.10.31 15:48:00 - [115] - Quote I mostly got that crazy thought after seeing some of hilaries crazy propaganda comercials. just reminded me of that one old lady from Wolfenstein and everything. but it seems a lot of people have setout to demonize trump from what ive seen so far. I do kinda feel trump might be the better option though. I think were really forced to dig deep into the whole mess to get any sort of true agenda though. in the past I think Hilary has advocated for war. with trump and others basically s saying no. and if you've watched a few of those debates Clinton kinda just laughs and smiles insanely through the entire ordeal. I do believe Hilary to be a criminal. as it is currently in the U.S (I don't get out much. pretty lazy myself.) and I never liked to bother with politics at all. but from the distant past it sounds like the U.S has been stumbling around lately. a lot of stupid decisions being made. and it looks like many sides have gotten involved and divided amongst themselves. id almost describe the whole thing as chaos it self. but the thing is. when it comes to our politics. I'm thinking which one would be best for the place in which I live. which is infact the U.S. right now Hilary has a corrupt cash train flowing into her own pocket. and with those scandals and the fact that shes supposedly had people killed and gotten off scott free. I don't think its a matter of simple politics any more. great potential is always there.. it just has yet to be realized 1st one in. and also.. The Last One Out....

It's not demonizing: I wouldn't even care about what he says in private, for example, but it's the things he says officially that worry me the most. More guns, really? A wall to stop mexicans coming into your country, wouldn't it be better to spend those money on healthcare? Wouldn't it be better to spend those money on education? On childcare? On pretty much anything that comes to your mind, actually. Lower corporation taxes to help big industries even more? These are just the domestic policies I know, you probably know more than me, but judging by these.... You just don't promise things that cannot be done. He shouldn't fool half Americans by just saying that things can be done because he's a "great entrepeneur" or by saying "trust me". Why would you trust him, anyway? So...I can't understand. Yours is just a feeling or there's something more? Something I don't see? Because as much as you and I don't like Clinton, my pen would never cast a vote for Trump if I were American (and by the way, my general political orientation would be much closer to Republicans than Democrats, being it more right wing). take time or take aurums (Gò»#-_-)Gò»~~~GòºGòÉGòº [FSTNM SCDNM] #PortDust514
