There’s no helping this. These people are lost. I’m not sure how you help these people:

 

 

Welp, the guy that proclaimed himself a fascist has been fired. He then set up some kind of Temu GoFundMe to raise $15k, on account of having been “Fired for My Political Beliefs”

He has raised $21k so far, and the comments are … interesting.

God gives up on some of us- that’s how he works? And we can know which ones, so we can give up on them too?

In all seriousness that is a very broken person whom society has let down.
People need community and they need a sense of purpose and belonging to something bigger than themselves. Organized religion, for all of its many flaws, once filled that need. So did bowling leagues and Freemasonry. For some of us, volunteering or work or even this board fills that need. For some of these people MAGA fills that need. I see those people as victims in an epidemic of isolation and loneliness, even if they aren’t blameless. 
 

When Talarico was on Rogan he said something to the effect that you can only love god as much as you love the person who you love the least. That’s a a Christian perspective. But regardless of the Christianity involved, can we honestly look at that person and not see someone in pain? I can’t.

I assume you've read "Bowling Alone." Putnam was on to something.

The internet has been the cause and unfortunate solution to a vast majority of isolation and loneliness. Bro (probably) wouldn't have found dozens of like-minded, sympathetic conspiracists in a bowling league.

I get it, trust me. That’s my default setting. But I’m trying, Rico. 

My advice to you: stop trying.

They want to slit our throats.  They say just that, in open and proud terms.  They offer no window for compromise, no quarter, no chance for a peaceful outcome.

This is where we are, and you know it as well as I do:

@Brisketexan, you aren’t wrong. 
A WWII Veteran once told me a story about killing a German soldier with a bayonet when they ran into each other on foot, quite by accident, in the Ardenne forest. He told me the German was a boy his own age, and that sometimes he prayed for the boy and his family, but didn’t regret it because “that’s why I survived.”

For several years I’ve been arguing off and on that a second civil war isn’t some future scenario, but rather an ongoing reality that most of us are just waking up to. It is a civil Cold War that is very gradually warming up as intensity and violent episodes increase in frequency and magnitude. 
It needs to be understood in those terms and contested in those terms. But we also need maintain the moral clarity to see who has the agency and understanding in this conflict, who doesn’t, and how those people got left behind. If we can’t tell the difference we give up any hope of a world worth living in when the dust settles.

What am I looking at here 

Lee and Benny Johnson (amongst others) posted (then deleted) an AI/fake letter of Jerome Powell purportedly resigning. The stamp was a giveaway.

That and also Powell speaking live this morning while opening and leading the Integrated Review of the Capital Framework for Large Banks Conference, where he is in attendance, right now.

You know I agree with you, and we've been in agreement for some time.  Now that we're in the full-on "they're saying all the quiet parts out loud" stage, more people are waking up to that truth.

And there's the difference between you and me.  I have no hope about the world we're in, and I have no hope about the world we'll have when the dust settles.

We tried this exercise once or twice before.  It didn't solve a goddamn thing then, it won't solve a goddamn thing now.  The "utter depravity of man" is our natural low spot.  Like water, we will always and forever flow towards and seek that low spot, and find it.  

We literally bombed the last round of Nazis into submission, leaving them with little but piles of rubble and suffering.  And here they are again.  There's no getting rid of them.  We can just knock them back - at hideous cost - every few generations, at best.  I hate them.  Because all it takes is one relatively small group to decide "let's take humanity on a ride to a pure hellscape," and we all have to go along with them.  We have no choice.  They are the turd in the punch bowl that turns the entire contents of that bowl into a bowl of shit punch.  It takes most everyone opting into democracy and humanity to make those work.  It just takes a small percentage -- think 15-20% -- opting for authoritarian, racist, violent hell, to make that the order of the day.  They will continue to do so, time and time again.  They want pain and suffering.  And they're going to get what they want.

some of y'all might want to inquire into Popper's thoughts on the present age...

I wonder if Popper were writing today, would he engage with the work of Ayn Rand?

How much more grace should we be expected to extend to these people who would literally put myself and loved ones in camps if they're ever able?

Meanwhile I want them to have free healthcare and to be able to easily cancel online services.
