A lot of people are protesting with the idea that going “back to normal” is the desired goal. Unfortunately, our presidents no longer need Congressional approval because we are perpetually at war with those who threaten our imperialist agenda. The Constitution has, in effect, been circumvented for some time now; it only gets worse from here.

    You’ll get downvoted because the average Western man isn’t brave enough to accept his entire ‘ideology’ (can an absence of ideology, leaving only propaganda one liners, emotions and hedonistic impulses, count as an ideology?) is antisocial, immoral nonsense given to him by the garbage media he consumes (regardless of where they are in their limited, entirely imperialistic and moral relativistic political spectrum). Nothing to be proud of, basically, but if you’ve been living this way for 30 years, how are you gonna admit to yourself you were this weak and stupid? How are you gonna recognise all the terrible shit you’ve done as terrible, finally, without feeling heavy guilt?

    So, even if they had two working brain cells to notice the obvious, they’ll plunge their heads in the sand. Their hearts cannot take it and their brains are overwhelmed by actual information about reality, as they’re not regularly developed adults. Just go out, have a pint, do some drugs and forget about it, right?

        Uhhh, maybe? I don’t understand, lol. Self deception is the main culprit here, fueled by hedonism, weakness of character, ignorance, aimlessness, etc etc.

        It’s not even an ideology they have, lol. But they’ll kill regardless, cause war is profitable to the upper classes and risk-free since they’re not the ones dying or killing indiscriminately (they don’t believe in God so it’s not like they care about judgment and the destiny of their souls, and of course they’re too stupid and hedonistic to consider ethics!). Just give them a nice spin or even a singular word to fight for/against if their brains are that atrophied (freedom, democracy or terrorism, Islam, communism) and they’ll go willingly! Tbh, even in the States the bloodthirst is seemingly going down, so that gives me a bit of hope… But the fact that Drumpf is a thing, a leader for the post-truth and post-shame (cause morals are relative and all of that) logical conclusion to Western mentality that is America, still shocks me.
