You know...
After living "awhile", I have come to some conclusions...
It is a (as I always say..)
Mentality problem - Big One!
Before You even get to the govt. You have to look at that citizenry You mentioned...
Somehow...
It is Ok for an 18 year old to drive around with a Confederate flag and a US flag on the back of his pickup Truck, with Trump bumper stickers on it, healing BLM is a joke...
This person who is out there..
defending his (or her) beliefs,
Would not spend 1 minute in the military that is defending their beliefs...
And to him, his family, his community he or she are good people.
Now when "this" is the ground stone that the B.S. is built on...
Naturally it is "ALL" just a shit show.
Actually any human being that can justify how long this country has been at war and the reasons why - has a problem,
And deal with one person,
You are dealing with an individual,
Deal with two or more...
It's a force!

I agree, and it's sad but after all this time we still have all the work still ahead of us. Still, I can't get myself to really blame the ignorant masses for 100%, as I see what a privileged position I have; most people simply lack the time needed to really get an informed historical perspective on the current state of the "human condition". There are, as there have been throughout history, forces at work to keep people dumb basically. The last thing any ruler needs, irrespective of them being democratically elected, is that informed citizenry. You see this on all scales too; I get so frustrated with my colleagues at work who all seem to think our boss has our best interest in mind, when in fact we have opposing interests. I also understand that I'm not an expert on any of this, but I also deeply believe it's not necessary to be an expert on anything to get a general understanding about any human issue; I often suspect even that "expertise" creates a narrow mindset with a singular perspective. Yet not being an expert will always be used as an argument against the common folks who have the best of intentions... It's complicated, which is why I'm always elated by thoughtful and well argued responses like your own 😊

Well actually,
I "Do" blame each person, Myself included for who they are.
Granted if You are unaware, You cannot act.
But...
If You recognize something, anything is wrong - it is Your responsibility to find out, and not ignore.
If you (anybody) ignores situations, etc. then that "Is" them, they ignore situations, conditions, etc..
And lazy mind has no excuse. People who adopt this mindset are normally okaying both sides against the middle to side up with the winner, a distasteful practice!
Oh well,
That's how I see it!
Have a Great Eve.!

If You recognize something, anything is wrong - it is Your responsibility to find out, and not ignore.

I agree. But it's the "recognize" part where it all goes wrong in many cases. One has to be adequately equipped to even be able to recognize that something's wrong. When wrong ideas are repeated over and over again and affirmed by so called authorities as well... it's difficult. I meander a lot on this; sometimes I've had enough and do blame people, you can see this happening in my posts on Trump and his supporters for example. For a long time I made it a priority to always make the distinction between Trump, the RNC on one side and the supporters / voters on the other. In more recent posts however I also blame the supporters and voters more and more; see my response to akumagai below for example. Still, they also are the product of the upbringing and society they live in, so they're not 100% to blame for their erroneous beliefs and convictions... Still, by now one must have a thick steel door in front of the head to not see the evil represented by the current POTUS, which is why I've mostly left behind the distinction I did make until a few months ago, so ultimately, on this subject and in this time I think we 100% agree 😁

You know,
I had also thought of Trump Supporters, as somehow "idiots buying the lie", so I excused them.
But yeah, he would not exsist without them.
Actually,
It's like "Star Trek, The Phage", and yep...
The shit-show has been going on so long, they may not know how messed up they are.
I hear these people talking everyday about Democrats and Socialism, etc...
But...
They want (for them) SSI, SDI, Medicare, Medicaid, anything else they can get.
Mention this to them they are already getting Socialist benefits, are they meaning them and their relatives should get but no-one else?
Then they look at you with screwed up faces and say nothing.
It's so funny because this place was pretty liberal,
Not anymore, I know people who were like this, and now are like that.
That's a human...
"Don't trust none of them, because Any of them will throw You under the bus when the profit is worth more than the damage"...
Have a Great Eve!
Be Blessed!

😂🤣 This is hilarious. Ignorance united 🤣🤣

You know what? Ignorance in itself isn't the real problem here. The fact that you, and the speakers you've chosen to share with us here, seem to be PROUD of being ignorant is the real problem; anti-intellectualism is yet another main feature of fascism, but I guess you're ignorant about that too, @akumagai... So sad...

For the rest I refer to @palikari123 's brilliant response 😋

I say the same to you and would have lots of backing since all I got to do is go through your written thoughts.
Confused kaffir. I'd thought you were full Dutch but now I see why your ideologically leaning as a full leftist. Since you doing even really know who you are, do you.
And you think I lean towards your perceived American right, I just link that to you because there has to be two sides to everything. And posting it here is just so idiots like @palikari123 gets a chance to see a different perspective to your closet minded arguments.
You know deep down I own you, since you don't even know who you are. Lol

Bahahaha. You think we have never heard of that opinion before? Like nobody has ever talked about the evils of socialism until you came along? Damn, you are such a genius lol. It's literally all over the internet. And since you are an intelligence asset, you should know better than to try spreading your word trickery around people who know you are a deliberate and deceptive liar🤣🤣🤣

You are so hilarious. But the most hilarious thing about this, is that I'm not even a Socialist. For a so-called Intelligence guy, you're not very good at collecting factual,data are you? Oh wait, that's what Intelligence agencies do...spread false data.

So, it's called being aware of bullshit artists like you, who go around defending the Intelligence state that causes the majority of the harm to the world. You better quit now, because you are out of your league.🤣🤣🤣

You really are clueless. Sure, you own me 😂 🤣 Now go out and play with your friends and leave us adults to our business please...

you sound like a Chinese sympathizer, modern day Kim Philby. Lucky you're not smart enough to be working in your country's intelligence bureau .

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

These "Intelligence Bureau's" and agencies, are the root cause of the world's problems. Please note, that I said that in the plural form....ALL "intelligence agencies" globally, are the root cause of the world's problems.

I need to specifically make that clear for people who will point fingers and then try and twist other people's words into something totally irrelevant and convenient to defend their flawed thinking process.

That is the standard, when it comes to the average uninformed patriot who just listens to the lies being fed to them. So please, do yourself a favour and educate yourself when it comes to these issues on a personal level, rather than just repeat the same talking points you are told to believe as "highly confident" reports and facts lol. How many times can you be duped into believing the same lie over and over again....haha, it actually get's kinda funny after a while, that people still believe in these fairy tales.

The job of a spook, and intelligence agencies in general, is to deceive the public and individuals into taking a position they would otherwise not take as a sovereign human being, and give consent for those aggressive and military actions on your behalf through the political machinery and apparatus.

Intelligence agencies own the politicians and their decisions, based on their deceptive and false Intelligence...as well as self-interest in the bloating of their own budgets with that sweet, sweet tax payer money that you contribute to yourself.

That is literally their job definition. You are constantly being deceived with multiple and never-ending forms of spin that you believe to be "highly confident facts", through the news wires and other forms of PR, including from politicians themselves who are personally invested in the very thing they are promoting on behalf of those agencies. Perpetual war.

But I guess having the awareness and knowledge that the spinmeister class are constantly trying to deceive you, suddenly makes you some kind of sympathiser of another nation or peoples'.

Thanks my friend: you've saved me a lot of typing here 🙏🏼 😊

Are you a keyboard warrior too? You have sinned!!!🤣

Check out the hilarious response below haha.

😂 🤣😂 🤣😂 🤣😂 🤣

Yeah... I'm having trouble typing this, as I'm shaking so hard out of fear for retaliation from secret agent with code-name @akumagai and his undercover underlings... He really hit me where it counts, and now I'm in danger for losing my station as keyboard warrior; damn, and I was so close to finally finding out who I really am...

(See his hilarious response above as well 😂 🤣)

Seriously though: thanks again for answering this clown, for I give up. He keeps reading my posts, I guess he's some kind of masochist and likes to psychologically torture himself. Don't know and don't care anymore.

Thanks my friend 🙏🏼

This coming from a keyboard warrior. Nice. And just so you can suck my dick hard. Have done intelligence work and studied for ten years so, keep your conspiracy thinking to a minimum. I stand by what I said lucky the author is not part of their country's intelligence bureau.
Laughable that you think their job is to deceive the public. Just because you got access to information doesn't mean you reading shit fuck all.
Lol.
Lol up Jun Wei Yeo on Google and connect the dots.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Keyboard warrior? LOL. I'm quite certain that you were the one who was "keyboard warrior-ing" by making the original comment LMAO. You were accusing people of being this or that and ranting without any clue what you are talking about....or maybe you know exactly what you are talking about, since you are in the business of deception yourself.😉

Thanks for revealing you intelligence background, so now we know where you stand, and why you stand for it!😄

That explains why you are so defensive about it all, and why you think it's all a conspiracy against youand your Intelligence brothers. Ooooohhhhh the boogeyman is coming to get you👻.

You should quit with the childish bedtime stories, becuase we've heard them all before. it's the exact same story on repeat - but only the main characters change😄

The best defence you have for exposing yourself as an intelligence asset and a deceptive liar, is to tell people they are wrong - and for them to suck your dick LOL.

Maybe you should consider a career in comedy. You're a real funny guy, when you're not so serious. How about a magician? You know how to appear in certain places at the right time - that would also be a wise future career choice.😁

Just because you got access to information doesn't mean you reading shit fuck all.

I think it's hilarious when people like you make absurd assumptions about others and what they have and haven't read. If you even bothered to look, you would know. But hey, you're just angry because you have been exposed LOL.

Strong words from someone who is obviously paid to troll posts and continue to deceive by constantly making accusations and calling people names based on nothing but fantasy land conspiracies of your own LOL....You are so damn tough you are💪

At least we now know what you're really all about. 🤣🤣🤣
