This post makes me sad. The United States was supposed to be a very wealthy country and she's been taken for a ride. Massive asshole Woodrow Wilson ruined this country when he signed that Federal Reserve Act. We cannot even protest it. The only thing left to do is work and die.
"You can correctly say that the Federal Reserve AND the Income Tax Acts of 1913 were, and continue to be, responsible for our bloated and war-loving government for over 100 years. It created extraordinary volatility in economic activity and inflation almost immediately and it STILL IS. It is and always was an evil force. "
I don't understand how our current politicians don't see it. Then again, I wonder how many of them are getting $$$ from lobbyists and doing whatever else nonsense. I don't see us abolishing that mess (both income tax and the Fed) anytime soon. The minute this country hit maturity, the wolves, lions, and hyenas popped out and took advantage.
? I mention it because you'd be one of the few people that laments what happened in 1913. It's actually encouraging to me to have like-minded people to drop by. Thanks!!
The root cause of the destruction of Western Civilization is that it was built by men over the course of 5,000 years and dismantled by women over the past 104 years. WWI caused average people in Europe, USA, Canada, Aust and NZ to lose their belief in their governments and to give women the vote in the belief that women would be less likely to vote for wars. What men at the time didn't realize was the true priorities of women when voting. The first thing women voted for was alcohol prohibition. A disaster that spawned organized crime. The second thing they voted for was FDR and his welfare state. The third thing they voted for was no fault divorce. Then they got the bright idea to become steeped in White Guilt and overrun us with non-white immigration starting in 1965. If only women voted, every state would go for the Democrat in every presidential election. Socialism is a feminine construct. Women evolved over millions of years to be covetous of what men produce and to share everything. This works in a hunter gatherer society where ultimately men are in charge. In modern societies it manifests itself as Marxism, Socialism, Wokeism. Nothing will improve until women can no longer vote to force men to support their lives and their White Guilt policies. This won't happen until no one can vote. We will never succeed in taking the vote away from women without men also losing the vote. Women are the majority of voters and they vote more in lock step with each other than men do. Therefore every election is decided by women. Look where this has taken us.
You live in Mexico now. Mexico is an economically underdeveloped country, but it is a stable society because there have never been any real elections in Mexico. If Mexican women could vote in a massive welfare state and divorce rape their husbands they would. The only thing preserving any stability in Mexico is that it's not a democracy. Same goes for Russia, China and every other country that is not committing suicide through the combination of a huge welfare state and open borders.
I'm not in Mexico. I almost signed up, but it was a pain in the neck to get one year "permission" and you have to pay $330 dollars for the priviledge. When you're most likely to get 6 months tourist visa on arrival, I figure that's about all I'd want to stay there and I don't have to pay anything. I still plan on getting out of the US after a doctor's appt on 11th July. I'm headed to Thailand and Malaysia and some side-trips to Nepal and/or Philippines.
I've pondered the role of women in politics, but I haven't thought of it as much as you. I've noticed that much of the damage in EU has been done by Feminist governments in Scandivnavia. They invited the intolerable Muslims in! But so did France and they are having civil unrest for many nights running including tonight. It looks like Civil War but I'm not there. The EU is so fucked in so many ways --Muslim hoards, extremely shaky banking system, a shaky Central Bank, Welfare and welfare rot to name a few!
Check out this post about self-righteous busy-bodies imposing their will on you over time. It's a great article:
I'll have to read it again and see if I see the bias that you're asserting. It's from a guy at a gun store at ammo.com.
I've thought that when our Constitution is revised, that voting should only be allowed by people owning real estate (property) in good stead (taxes paid-up). That'll knock out much of the "takers" and leave most of the "makers." You obviously can't have more "takers" overwhelming the "makers."
Let me know what you think of that "Self-righteous Activism...."
I read the "Self-righteous Activism...." and thought it was very good. I think you hit the nail on the head when you said those people cannot be reasoned with.
I also agree with Mr. Holmes when he says women are idiots. There is no one more dangerous than the liberal female. They lie. They also act like they have something to prove or need to "fight for something" and like they're competing to be the next biggest victim.
Enjoy your travels around Asia. I love South Asia, particularly Cambodia (before it was developed by the Chinese). The provinces are beautiful. I think they're worth checking out.
Thanks.. "That self-righteous activism.. " article was damned good. Glad you liked it.
I'm not sure of numbers, but this last presidential election, I think I remembered that Trump lost "urban women" voters. I don't know the magnitude, but when I heard that, my gut reaction was that those women fell for propaganda (which was huge in magnitude) and probably didn't like his "mean tweets." Possibly because of that, we have a glorified fungus as President? Geesh.
The women's lib movement has had a cancerous effect on our society. Everywhere I turn, self-righteous busy-bodies are telling people to be something that they're not! They're telling women to act like men and for men to tone down their (toxic) masculinity. And they call that "progress!"
Thanks for the tip about Cambodia. I've been to Thailand countless times, but never to Cambodia. I haven't made reservations yet, but the cheapest flights from Houston is to fly to Bangkok. I might do a monthly Airbnb in Bangkok (???), then head down to KL, where I get a 3 month tourist visa--and maybe do the monthly Airbnb. KL is very nice, somewhat similar to Singapore but vastly less expensive. From KL, one can get Air Asia flights all over the region. Airasia flights used to be so cheap, it was like a taxi fare in the US. It's probably more now, but it's probably still a bargain.
The reason for leaving the US is the possibility of war and the slim possibility of nuclear war. Yes, I know it sounds crazy, but we have a fungus for president and a rabid Deep State literally begging for war!
I will never forget that 2020 election. I thought Trump was going to take it home again and then the election took a downward turn. I remember stopping dead in my tracks when I saw what was happening election night. Then, I thought that the courts would fight election fraud and they didn't. Stopped me dead in my tracks again. And then I thought, well, this country is going to learn it's lesson and some people still haven't.
I don't understand the women who claim to be victims or who want to be "macho men." The last thing I want is a Kevin Federline (Britney Spears' ex-husband who lives off her. Her court documents are a riot - the affirmative action Judge is denying B discovery into her own finances. I've never seen shit like that).
I really love South Asia. The people are so peaceful. Cambodia was dirt cheap the last time I was there. I thought the environment was very healthy. I understand why you're leaving the US. As much as I love this country, there are days when I want to pack it all up and leave. The way this country has been run into the ground, bankrupted and humiliated is all very sad.
