    Are you ignoring all the fascist shit happening across the world lately as well?

    This particular thing may be US-exclusive, but countries across Europe are doing their best to get back to the early 20th century again as well. Putin is trying to rebuild the Soviet Union again, and China is trying to take the Pacific by force, much like the Japanese Empire had a century ago.

    There are parallels across the globe happening every day, don’t delude yourself to thinking this is a US-only phenomenon.

      Population is too high. The only solution is to knock off a few billion because no one will strait up quit making babies, and just austerity will cause collapse. Historically, war is a solution for population crisis mitigation. Too many mouths to feed? Reduce your own while possibly increasing resources from someone else.

      We never hear the real reasons and news stories. Watch interviews of anyone that has had access to the classified US presidential news feed. They all say the same thing; that it is amusing how bad and misinformed the mainstream media is by comparison. People said this about the news cycle 20 years ago when the news was marginally more credible, or at least far better funded.
