politics

and banning anyone for no reason

Trump got into office but ended up basically compromising on his entire platform

I'll be interested how long it'll be until we get another ideologue as a president

As in

Someone who actually has a political platform

and isn't just a literal sock puppet, or Trump

You can't, we live under a "democracy"

Where presidents have term limits but not all the senior members of the FBI, CIA, and so on

I mean, those all turn over every administration anyway

eventually one of the parties will start cutting the executive fat when they realize how worthless they all are

In what way, we have a conveyor belt of figureheads but the deep state or whatever you wanna call it remains the same

when the "deep state" stops getting rubber stamps on them spending unlimited money for no reason

Not for no reason. It's just their reasons rather than ours

it's speculative power, the whole pyramid is predicated on more people joining in, and more funds being dumped on them

if anything in the executive branch gets constricted, the whole thing withers and dies

no, things aren't suddenly going to get better one day

but none of it's as entrenched as it would be in your average 3rd world shithole

No, it's worse actually

Most third world countries don't have a ruling class that wants their country's people to go extinct

it's the boomer mindset, they need to persist as long as they can, and leave the world in ruin when they eventually do die

suck every last drop out of society, leave nothing behind

You think it's just greed motivating them?

I don't think I'd call it greed, but it's a mindset that lacks any desire to conserve or improve

and not in the gay ecological type of way

Not typecasting the weirdos like Bill Gates though

they're fucked in the head

Aside? I think his psychotic episodes give a little insight on what they're actually worried about

As technology advances it'll become inevitable when shit like bioweapons and nukes get miniaturized and mass-produced, they may be thinking many generations down the line how to avoid a mass extinction event

That might be why we have these weird cyber attacks coming out of nowhere

the "cyber attacks" are all just people being retarded and answering phishing emails

it's the Clinton "hack" all over again

Whether they're real, false flags, or something inbetween they'll be used to collect more power and resources

people are retarded, and it takes such a minuscule amount of work to gain control over all these key pieces of infrastructure

idk though, we'll see in another 5 years which way we're heading

maybe the Corona lockdowns will be over by then kappa

They've already got the infrastructure in place to demand another lockdown on the drop of a coof

I mean this with all sincerity, the lockdown ended last June

I get that liberals all stayed home and larped about the coof

but nothing else changed

Corona, another world-altering event that was practically fake, and they've gained an insane amount of power from it

but it feels like we're living in different worlds when people talk to me about the lockdown as if it was a thing

past the first ~2 months, when no one knew wtf corona was

In california it was like 3 weeks on and off lockdown whenever the stupid infections curve peaked and dipped

we are living in two different worlds, have been for years

fucking Jew Bears

they did this to us

Kids are still made to wear masks in school last I heard

(in my area)

In VA, the teachers who were too "scared" to return to school in-person last semester all got fired

outside some of the super-liberal counties up North

Eventually they'll stop coming up with covid variants and we'll be done with this, but the effects will stick around for good

good, they should be fired

though they're still going to indoctrinate the kids

I feel like they blew their load though Gent, they had a LOT of compliance at first, but it waned super fast

I don't think it'd work again

I'd hope it won't

idk though

The retail tards I've talked with usually say it's either get vaxxed or wear a mask to keep their position

And what reason would any company have to drop that policy?

I got """vaxxed"""

they can't prove anything

I just tell people I went to a drive-by clinic

I think they do electronic verification here

At least for employees

see, that's fucked, if CA actually is doing that

that's WAY too far for around here though

And work from home isn't going away any time soon

companies in DC have already killed work-from-home programs I know a lot of people who are pissed

Schooling as well

And if you work from home and take classes from home what does that mean? Spyware, so they can make sure you're behaving

that stuff was so dystopian at first too

those firms that would just watch kids all day through their webcams

Well Gent, a good bellweather is whenever I get V&

I'll be your canary

there's kinda of a good thing from those zoom schools, typically ignorant parents learning the bullshit their kids are learning

I've heard that too, I wonder if more parents will start homeschooling

or as we call it in Virginia for some reason "podding"

Hah, podding

Pod living terminology getting normalized?

whale pods, but lol I guess that works too
