They’re doing the same in Australia right now, as well. It’s a full scale assault too. We now have a fucking CPAC, we’re being inundated with MAGA style bots and all this loony, loopy, violent, degenerate leftie socialist shit.

Our politics has gone from being something we thought about and did rationally every few years to being saturated and bludgeoned with this tribal crap every day.

That’s why Murdoch went there…he wasn’t able to do here or in the UK what he could do there, because the fertile ground for it existed.

The fact remains, the US is going to have to find something to rally around to improve their society, even if it isn’t this. They are where they are because they refuse to do anything about their situation, from voting, right through to now probably having to go into peaceful shutdown. They’ll find every excuse around it and expect the rest of us to understand and sympathise, like having to tip because the workers depend on it. It’s like being held hostage in a way; you know the worker will suffer if we don’t pay the tip.

That dude you are replying to, is the exact top of the bell curve when it comes to American intellect. He heard/read some things, and because he likes what he hears, he parrots it. He has no logic, he has no deeper understanding. He sees neither the tactical short term problems, nor the strategic long term effects. He is blissfully ignorant. A happy pig in his slop.

His ignorance is equal to your knowledge, in his eyes.
