Talking to a few of my friends who have left, escaped from regions of despotism, the US has far and away the most equal rights for minorities and women. A friend who had a harrowing exodus from Afghanistan talks of the multiple rights that people have in the US, and has contrasted that with the utter lack of not only womans rights, but of the bullying and hatred and ruination of societies that lack rights. For if one man were to act in bad faith with the others around him, and eventual the others around him also act in bad faith, you would expect to see a society without modern advances, without rights, and everyone subjugated except for the Mafia/Fifedom class (which was for the trampling of everyone else in the first place)
When I see the writing of Saul Alinsky, and think how the bad faith, bullying, deception, lying, cheating, threatening, destruction that they profess, and some of our leading liberals now taking this bad faith to the masses, we the US can become like the wicked societies that we despise.
Sometimes it good to talk to people who have just gotten out of a bad situation in Afghanistan to contrast how good we have it in comparison to these places in the world that still have a great tribal, anti human rights basis as their foundation of their societies.
I say we dont become like that, Dems say "Lets become like Afghanistan", but the devil (or Alinsky who cited the devil) blinds people to the very direction that they suggest heading in.
Feel sorry for some of guys who've apparently not found "the one" , as in not the one who yes- gives you a "funny feeling" or otherwise is your soulmate.
Gab away all day long about totally unrelated principles and supposed better outcomes in forced marriages all you want. Reality is that yes- there are many, MANY married couples who spend a lifetime in love with one another. Its not rocket science.

Afghanistan used to be relatively 'modern' until the Soviets messed with them so badly they reverted to traditional values. I don't see the patterns in the first world as being very durable because you can clearly see things breaking down.

someone like Hitler will arise after we have a breakdown. Pre Nazi germany(Weimar) was very similar to America today.
We've become intensely materialistic
As long as people have freedom to decide whether to be materialistic and/or family oriented and are free to exercise those choices, society is in a better place than if the option is forcibly removed by social engineers.

Video: Meet Chanty Binx (Big Red) Feminist and hypocrite
What a disgusting excuse for a human being. She's also the perfect example of the difference difference between a leftist and a liberal. A liberal would never behave like that; only leftist nutjobs do. A liberal wants the opposition to talk so that he/she can tear down their arguments one by one. Only leftist and rightist scum want to silence their opposition.
The left and the right are more like each other than either is like a liberal.

If you read the writings of Hitler, you will be surprised to find very cogent and lucid remarks about the nature of liberal democracies. Remember that during Hitler's time, they weren't very old or very cemented into the structure and psyche of everyday life as they are today. Germany was not long before Hitler's time a military empire. Much of what Hitler said applies today.

"democracy will in practice lead to the destruction of a people's true values. And this also serves to explain how it is that people with a great past from the time when they surrender themselves to the unlimited, democratic rule "of the masses slowly lose their former position; for the outstanding achievements of individuals...are now rendered practically ineffective through the oppression of mere numbers." -Adolf Hitler
"Sooner will a camel pass through a needle's eye than a great man be "discovered" by an election." -Adolf Hitler

look at our current social values- we celebrate black people who do crimes, we blame people for being white(even though this is what blacks themselves find beautiful), we blame people for being intelligent, we blame women for having and caring for children, etc.

difference between a leftist and a liberal.
Dan, that type of colorfully haired type will rage over their recent Oppression and Patriarchial Mansplaining Event when somebody held the door open for them while drinking a $6 latte. This type of person is known as a "Social Justice Warrior".
Social Justice Warriors will
1. Scream at you for not calling their sexual preference by their own particular definition ("It's Gender Queer, not Androgynous, you rascist, sexist, homophobe!")
2. Hate on civil liberties - what they call mockingly "Freeze Peach!" when someone objects to being silenced by them or their PC codes and regulations
3. Have no interest in police brutality, economic injustice, homelessness, etc. unless it focuses exclusively on their special interst as a (Fill in the Blank: Lesbian left-handed Eskimo, Biracial Bisexual, Gender Queer Guatemalan).

just look at the history of these ideas, their origin is the Frankfurt School which attempted to apply Marxist thinking to social values. You can trace practically every crazy liberal idea to this school of thinking. This school dominated Universities in pre-Nazi germany.

PC/Social Justice Warriors are 70s era hippies who gave up fighting the man when they realized he would fight back with bullets and water hoses, so they decided to rant about how Transsexuals are really only trying to invade Womyn's Spaces and rape women's bodies by trying to look like them*. They are the reason people are so focused on the Culture War while the American Standard of Living goes into the toilet.
No War but the Class War - that's leftism.
Screaming "Mansplaining!" when you didn't understand a transmission overhaul is not in the same ballpark in terms of price or time as an oil change isn't leftism.

no you really dont get it. In America, these ideas were gestated in the Universities during the 60s when they were taking over by Social Marxists - the social justice warrior type, whose headquarters are the Universities which harbor these ideas - are a pretty simplistic way of looking at it. At the very basis their ideas are Communist/Marxist but most or many dont even realize what is the genealogy of their ideas. Read David Horowitz if you don't believe that Communists were actively plotting to remake American society.
we have many feminists, but not too many seem concerned with how or where these ideas came from and this obfuscation is intentional because they don't want Americans to know what is the origin of these ideas- as that might lead them to realize what will be the result of them. Communism had feminism a long time ago(almost 100 years) - and it didnt result in the liberation of women, quite the opposite.

David Horowitz is like one of those guys in 1930s Germany or Spain.
They're with the fascists one day, the stalinists the next. It wasn't uncommon for members of the Communist or Fascist parties to switch sides. They were authoritarian minded people, only the style of authoritarianism changed.
Horowitz went from being a Social Justice Warrior to being a Neocon Warmonger. He's still a complete whackaloon.
That anything Hitler wrote would be considered useful or sane shows me a of lack the understanding and comprehension of recent world history. I've studied WW2 since I was a kid and I can say this much about Hitler:
The man was a buffoon and a tyrant. Setting aside the obvious- in that he started a war that ultimately cost the lives of over 60 million people as well as systematically murdered millions more in concentration and POW camps, he was a moron when it came to running a war.
First of all he lacked the understanding of efficient mechanized warfare. Literally billions of dollars were spent on exotic weapons like the V2, the Messerschmitt Me 262 as well as the series of increasingly larger Tiger tanks amongst the most notable.
For a perfect example the Tiger II and II tanks were incredibly precision- engineered machines with a huge percentage of their parts machined by hand. They were technologically superior. The problem was that more of them wound up having to be scuttled by their crews because they broke down so often and since the hand made parts took too long to be crafted than were actually destroyed in battle. It also took much, much longer to build each tank. OTOH both the Russian and American tanks were mass-produced in tractor and former car factories by the 10's of thousands. They were more simple and faster to manufacture. Their drivertrains were easy to repair and spare parts were of course all interchangeable. So whereas the German tanks were overly-complicated and difficult to repair, the allies just kep right on pumping out zillions of tanks.
Second of all, Hitler repeatedly ignored his senior military staff. He totally overrode their requests to pull back from the Russian front before winter to resupply and recalibrate a new attack. He refused their suggestion and as a result Germany found itself on the defensive for the rest of the war.
So the man was totally incompetent.
Lastly, to suggest that our country is in any shape or form at all akin to Nazi Germany is not only an insult but so far removed from any reality that it begs the question of where in the fuck such a idea would come from? No. The US IS NOT at all even remotely close to that and for some VERY clear and obvious reasons.
A: Germany was a homogenous society. We are not
B: Hitler used outright racism as one of the backbones to his writings, ideology and governing style. As seen in the US, more and more groups of people are gaining access to civil rights and freedoms. So in other words the US is totally the OPPOSITE of what Germany was during Hitler's rein. So Why in the fuck would there be any suggestion that we would be anything like that? We aren't.
Again I ask where in the hell does some of this absolutely nutty shit come from? I mean- seriously. If my grandfathers, uncles, and other family members who serves in WW2 were reading this horse shit they'd be furious.
edvard, youre an unimaginative twit.
And you tend to make outrageous and incorrect statements with absolutely nothing based in reality to back them up. As I said the other day, that form of conservatism is exactly what is hurting the GOP and any hope they have in the future.
But what in the hell was I or anyone with common sense supposed to imagine in some of the above posts? If someone came into a room and claimed Christopher Columbus discovered American in 1998 and was from the planet X-925 then what do you expect anyone to "Imagine" other than "What the fuck?!"

Im not praising Nazi germany- im pointing out that there were positives to Hitler's ideas.
yesterday I was walking around one of the oldest building in Phoenix, dates to pre-WWII. It's amazing differently people thought then and what they could do with the resources and knowledge that they had.
We've become degraded degenerates and people like edvard applaud that. When we've arrived at a point where citizens of a neighboring country, who are here illegally, have more rights and bonuses than American citizens you know that something is terribly wrong. But edvard is 'the voice of reason' right?

the girls today know that feminism will bring them ZERO happiness, but they think they can take advantage of various aspects of it without swallowing it whole, which simply doesnt work. You can be sure some feminist worker is reading this very thread and devising some kind of plausible response to it, after all we pay these people millions of dollars through the 'education' system to come up with one bullshit lie after the next.

Its not a habit. If someone pulled up in a car that had a screamin' V8, tuned suspension, dual exhaust, low profile tires, a convertible top, 2 doors and so on you would call that a "Sports car"
If someone reliably makes right-wing commentary on a forum then they are most likely.... conservative.

Understanding that half of these items are more comical than accurate and yet there is an underlying truth. What is the greatest part about not having a boyfriend? It's understanding that you do not require one to be complete. You should be happy with who you are on the inside, and content watching Netflix marathons and going out with friends. When the right guy comes around, he will. Until then, go blast some Beyonce ladies, being single is a beautiful thing.
