I overheard some drunk fur traders speak of lands beyond both the west coast and the mid-west. They say if you can fight off the sea monsters and solve the riddles of an old hermit, you will even find lands to the far east. A land of milk and low interest rate home loans. I hear they don’t even have a word for roommate there…
I was in my early 20s and it definitely was a moment when I realized things weren’t what they seemed. I also fell for the narrative for a bit. Then a couple years later when it was revealed that the WMDs in Iraq were made up it started to all make sense. This country operates the highest, most advanced form of propaganda and corruption. It’s how it stays in power.
I also believe this is what Israel is going through now. Leveraging primal blood lust to justify what being committed. No wonder the US is supportive.
Very true, however that fact seems to support the idea that those who seek wealth are from families who also sought wealth, and it may be, in many cases, that it is a genetic predisposition. Which also supports the idea that it’s possible that this could be a mental illness passed generationally. We just don’t attribute the behavior to mental health due the cultural conditioning that wealth is good.
I mean no one thinks eating, and eating consistently and reliably is bad, but when you see someone eating everything they can get their hands on, most people would agree that’s bad. Obese children are often born into obese families…
I think this is more of a correlation != causation issue. I think it’s more likely that the kinds of people who have the traits to seek obscene wealth also tend to be people with a higher probability for mental health issues.
IMO to be driven to collect as much power and money as possible is harmful to both one’s self and those around you.
As a middle aged white man I have nothing to say in the subject of discrimination of natural hair on any woman let alone Afro-Boricuas women, except for I hope this shit ends soon. I have always thought any woman looks best as their natural self.
Also while I agree that many parts of the world have resorted to the tactic of “killing you softly” through poverty and marginalization, I would add that this has been expanded to pretty much all skin colors, as debt slavery is so hot right now. It’s all the rage in the class Cold War that is occurring in every nation. Because if there’s a legal loophole to get away with greed, the greedy will find a way to exploit it.
I saw the posts yesterday about how he was not accepted at his high school club for being a “comically” bad shot, which explains why this was so bad, but doesn’t explain how it was so good as the latest reports are saying he only missed Trump because he turned his head the moment he pulled the trigger.
What’s also odd is why he chose to use a gun to begin with, especially one without a scope. I’ve also read he has some kind of explosive devices in his car.
At the end of the day he seems to be painted as just another young white outcast male who dealt with bullying and social rejection, like most of the other mass shooters.
The only missing piece now seems to be motive. Guess the dude has been confirmed by multiple sources to be far right conservative. Why would he try to assassinate Trump?
As someone else mentioned, this isn’t confirmed, it’s just what some law enforcement have claimed. However the teleprompter system has multiple reflectors off to each side so that the speaker can look side to side while tallking and still have their prompts. So it’s possible to have the glass blow back to one side of Trump. I am sure we will find out more in the coming days and weeks…
