The Politics Megathread

[M0NST3R]

@Tamerlane did you ever get the opportunity to take a political science course on using
SPSS? Because they talk a lot about why polls are useless in general and that seems like something you would already know.

 

[Tamerlane]

They are, but it's good as a point of reference, even if it doesn't change much @M0NST3R

And no, because I feel any political science course in this time and setting is going to be rather heated and I like not pissing off everyone on my campus

God I can't wait for the US to balkanize. Imagine a country led by unhinged liberals. They would make North Korea look like a paradise. Not that trumptards are much better...

If you let your brain to think this logically, you'll realize that those people you call 'trumptards' are patriots who put America's interest above any nation. And I believe that it should be the case. Donald Trump was elected as a US president, not Mexico's nor Russia's nor North Korea's. Therefore, he should work to better the United States. Should there be any injustices done against the US be it in trades or international relationship, it is his responsibility to fix that. Thus, he did a bunch of stuff, from demanding Mexico sort their illegal immigrants which ultimately failed and Trump defended his nation thru the wall to the 'trade war' with various countries due to unfair practices which ultimately resulted in China lasting quite a long time before finally conceded. All the 'bad stuff' the media portray are all lies. That, along with the whole 'impeachment' bullshit.

Who knows.... In any case politics is back to being boring, how glorious.

@Halo

Then which source you'd consider accurate?

It's a quite hard question, but if you actually want to find the truth, I recommend you stay away from big corporation such as Google. Try using duckduckgo as your search engine when browsing politics. Stay away from mainstream media. Find any social media platforms that do not censor any of its users no matter how 'ridiculous' or 'stupid' their comments are. The moment they censor any idea by labelling it racist, sexist, misogynist, etc almost always means they censor stuff that do NOT align with what they want to push.

The elites have successfully made sure Trump did not get the second term, and they are currently trying to make sure he will never be. The 2020 election was a nationwide fraud, and from this, every patriots realize that it does not matter be it DNC or GOP. They are both puppets under the same 'entity' working behind the stage. Who are these entity exactly? I have no clue, but these are what many people often refer to as 'elite globalists'. You'll realize how desperate they are to push forward the idea of 'progressiveness' and 'humanity' because it works in their favor and never America. They're parasites to the US.

@EOTFOFYL

That's a bad thing because you want someone who's so ostentatious like Trump is in office so that you can keep him in check and always have your eye on him. When you fall asleep at the wheel and let politicians do their thing with your back turned, then shady shit starts happening. You always want to keep truth to power, and not let yourself be dulled into a sense of "normalcy" when things are clearly unsustainable as they are now. If you go back to how things were like pre-Trump, it will just create the situations that will lead to another figure like him again. We couldn't have had Caesar without Sulla, and we couldn't have had Sulla without the Gracchi, and we couldn't have had the Gracchi without Scipio Africanus, etc.

Look folks, there over 100 other countries that are not America. You can save your "America First" sales pitch, I'm not interested.

@Tamerlane
Sir, you are reading too deep into it, I just don't want a clown at the helm. 🤡

Yo I’m a bit late but like why tf are we hating on halo? Seems to me he’s just posing memes while and using obvious sarcastic comments while sticking to politics still. So like why tf are people like Chrona and the pirate (or something) saying he’s a racist, and discriminates the mentally ill. Like come on guys, we’re way more toxic than guys on Reddit so idk how you guys can’t handle a joke about Hitler, which everyone does in multiple history subreddits, or assuming this guys a race because he/she/it looks like one race? From my POV it’s like: oh he’s Asian? Nah he’s an actor from Britain! Did you really think this guy is Asian because literally looks like a Asian? No he’s British dumbass! Ofc I could get my stuff wrong because this was just from a quick skim through of the thread and my main question is WHY we’re hating on halo, so answers? Also remember the tweet Trump sent a while back? Well, now that Biden is officially the president then Trump will have to say good bye to this country LMFAO.

 

[EOTFOFYL]

@Buff_Sage
Chrona just wanted to pick a fight for whatever reason, most of us regulars don't care.

Well, then politics ain't the field for you, friend. Society is just the blind leading the blind, and there's nothing that epitomizes the ironic futility of it than politicians, for there's more clowns trying to make themselves seem like virtuoso, when in truth they're just as much of an ass as you or me.

No matter who you choose, you're probably going to get an incompetent ass running your country, and if you're lucky enough to get a great figure, they likely just stumbled their way into greatness through blind luck and circumstance, Mr Magoo style.

 

[Buff_Sage]

@EOTFOFYL ah ok thank you!

I wouldn't call politics boring just yet: Donald's saga is far from being over, his followers aren't going anywhere, Covid, the lmao-no-pardon-for-you Capitol "protesters", all new changes Joseph introduces... If anything, it's more interesting now, only less bizarre and not through twitter.

@Buff_Sage
Thanks, but eh I don't really mind.
Also, it was not a tweet... Well, maybe it was, but he said it on one of his rallies:

Hilarious first 10 seconds btw.

@Halo LOL

Theres a Fucking senile donkey "leading" my country, the fucker did a stupid morning publically-broadcasted meeting about the voice actor of an old cartoon. It is a joke. I want to get out of here asap.

 

[Tamerlane]

@Richman

To be fair, America is also now being lead by a senile "donkey," given the logo of the democrats.

Besides, isn't Mexico technically controlled by the cartels and corruption more than anything at this point?

 

[Kokoe]

Viva la germany

 

[Richman]

Its more like 30% carteles and 70% corrupt people/politicians, carteles arent that big or even powerful, against the army they have a big disadvantage.

Although the questions should be When hasn't mexico been controlled by corrupt people? My answer is "idk, since Juarez maybe?" I mean, pretty much every term had some sort of corruption in it, after the independence? There was a point where liberals and conservatives were killing each other for the power, Diaz? Dictatorship, 1910-1921? People killing each other again, after that the PRI/PRN was the de facto governing party, their candidates were often called "the uncovered/ the revealed" because once you knew who it was, you knew who your next president would be. It was that way until the 2000's when another party won the election (and then with another candidate the following term) until we went back with the PRI and now a socialist idiot that doesn't know how to do shit.

 

[Halo]

Holy shit. Was @Richman such a badass all along?

 

[wowfucktron]

@richman

against the army they have a big disadvantage.

Are they? I would've assumed they were also bought off...
