It's very odd. Like a Tourette's tick.
some of us lived and watched it at work. the problem is, it doesnt happen over night. it starts small, with say a government in your backyard. little laws pass, that most are "for" and once your legislated in, its over.

when i see videos floating around called equity of outcome, and hear about UBI, loan payoffs, reparations, universal healthcare, you perk up and take notice.

the government has a stranglehold on us already. any social service ends up making people dependant. next thing you know there is only one fix.

so you fools out there that think it cant happen, keep up your belly aching cries of social equality and youll soon get it.

Seeing how we've had Marx and Lenin quotes previously;

"Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempts to disarm the people must be stopped, by force if necessary" - Karl Marx

Gun grabbing appears to be an authoritative move, regardless of political slant.

"Take the guns first, go through due process second." Trump.

Spying by big tech.. control of thought by the propagandists on CNN , MSNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC etc... all of them with the same false talking points telling the masses how to think.


Global Warming is a tool for control over the people used by the globalists to tell us what we can buy , what we can drive, what we can eatand what we can think. Carbon taxes will take money from your pocket and put it into the growing large government that the say is the first and only control . Not We the people as Trump put Americans first. They hated his ideology .They attacked him personally because they could then attack him on his ideology because they manifested the hate in the masses to go along with anything they said..Brainwashing.
another accurate post. the green new deal and covid task force alone is growing the beast a few more heads. someone has to feed them. it will be us.

i bet people would feel better about spending money on healthcare IF it went to americans and not illegals.

i dont know where you live, but here in LA, our emergency rooms are flooded with uninsured illegals using the ER for their kids runny nose, while citizens (my husband) sat for hours with half a finger.

if the public healthcare is going to fly, we MUST get our illegal situation under control.

then people wont be so annoyed at supporting deadbeat AMERICANS, rather than other countries people.

Makes sense to me.

How can you manage a budget when there are so many leaks and unknowns.

Seems practical, but they don't even pretend to acknowledge that. Illegal Immigration is too 'hot' .

Voluntary charity is a blessing
Compulsory charity is a curse

Voluntary communism is good
Compulsory communism is slavery

See the difference?

The irony is that the purported "evils" of capitalism are deliberately misattributed to that which is not capitalism : usury, corporations, insurance companies, and other limited liability entities. Those are all privileged to exist - and owe a tax for their existence.

A farmer who owns his farm enjoys capitalism
A farmer in hock to the bank is a victim of "capitalists".

When the farmer who owns his farm is faced with confiscation by glorious communism, it is easier to understand why he is so irate.

then of course they swore Dr. MLK was going to lead the country to communism simply for wanting equal rights
Oppose the vietnam war, you were labeled a "commie"
Some reason why Feminism equated communism
Gay rights was definitely going to do us in.

lol, forget when Obama was elected, people swore we would somehow be muslim and communist (don't know how we were going to pull that one off)

And now someone of course said "enjoy the slide into communism" due to President elect Joe Biden.


I'm starting to wish I had 100 bucks every time some one made this prediction, I could retire.

can we please at least get a new "ism"
I guess you missed the CHAZ, then the CHOP, and now the PAZ in portland
