[Rancid]

Does your wife and kids agree that your word is law in your house?

Of course!
:Looks around nervously:

[Tainari88]

Of course!
:Looks around nervously:

Lol. My husband wins over fifty percent of the time. Mostly because I try to avoid conflict at home. Hee hee.

So winning regimes is not my forte Rancid. Is it yours?

[Tainari88]

When it comes to cruelty, I was struck by this story, although the title is misleading as the girl was culturally Jewish and was only a quarter Jewish by biological heritage.

What a cruel and heartless man that Martin Bormann was. This was a completely harmless relationship that brought happiness to Bernhardine, her mother, Hitler and many Germans through Heinrich Hoffmann's photographs. I have to say I never liked Bormann, I think he was always my least favourite Nazi.

I find all that racist categorization and speculation and stupidity as just that. Stupid irrationality. But that is what racism is anyway Rich. It is all insanity anyway. One has to realize all of it is socially constructed. And it is ridiculous.

I really never liked ideas about social categorizations that were about purity. That is all fiction Rich.

I wonder about where you land on that issue eh?

On small things I am under 50%. On the big important things, I'm over 50%.

Pick your battles, don't make mountains out of mole hills, don't worry about the small potatoes are the phrase that come to mind.

I fundamentally disagree with the monarchists. I believe in equality.
I fundamentally disagree with Judaism, I believe its claims that Jews are the creator of the universe's favourite people are racist lies.
I fundamentally disagree with Nazis on racially purity. I find the idea thoroughly silly.

However at least outside of the SS, the Nazis views on racial purity seem to have been more moderate than the United States. I suspect a single great grand parent of African origin in the United States could have been much more of a discrimination than a single great grand parent of Jewish origin in Nazi Germany.

[litwin]

Litwin it is a mistake to think that the only nation on Earth that is a threat to humanity is Russia, and that the USA is innocent, the USA threw two atomic bombs on another nation in its war arsenal during WWII. To think the US is not warmongering and ignoring that because you focus only on Putin's bad politics is not being politically intelligent. I am sure you know a lot of dummies on the Right where you are from.

Thinking, Moscow is terrible that means Washington DC is innocent is for foolish people with a total ignorance of facts and history. My stance is consistent. Imperialism leads all the nations who practice it, down the wrong path. They waste money on arms and war, neglect domestic needs, never face the reality that they can't control all the elements in the world and that wasting resources when there is much better things and goals to achieve with the money collected from the working people and businesses of their own nations is a fool's way of dealing with governance.

Criminal behavior on the part of government is not going to lead to peace and stability for anyone. Criminals are those willing to violate international law and be discriminatory based on if a nation has power and money, or if it is a nation that is poor and fairly powerless and can't oppose the more predatory Imperially minded nations' agendas.

Ukraine is not the most powerful or wealthy nation in the world is it? So it is vulnerable to other nations with more $$$$$$$$ and more weapons and more manipulations. Period. It is criminal to do that shit. But? The USA does that ALL THE TIME TOO.

Meanwhile, you excuse the US and criticize Moscow. Hypocritical dude you are. And you blame all Lefties without distinction. Prejudiced. I find you very limited in analysis. That is my opinion Litwin. I am sure ou find all Leftists the same, and horrible and associate them with the enemy. You are another person falling for fake news and lack of understanding of how everything has to be studied on a case-by-case basis.

I am tired of DENIALS from the men in this forum who do not even live or work in the USA at all and have not even visited once the country, yet you think the USA is the hero nation in all this. It is not intelligent in the least to be that way. I lived in the USA from the age of five years old until 14 years old. Then from 21 until 53 years old. How many years have I lived and worked and dealt with the USA and its culture, people, and economics and society? What about 40 plus years. And Puerto Ricans are US citizens since birth. Second class ones but there are no immigration restrictions for Puerto Ricans who pack their bags and go stateside. None. So? My opinion is shit because it is leftist and socialist, and yours is gold about the USA because you hate the Russian Empire behavior and the good guys have to be capitalist Yankee people who are NICE GUYS. That is simplistic bullshit that anyone with half a brain would discard. I do not think because you are Ukrianian you are not human. You are human. As a human I can guess correctly that you eat breakfast, lunch and dinner, and drink water and other drinks, that you pee, poop, and talk and type. I also can guess you speak your native language, you studied English, and you like computer stuff. You also have internet that is stable where you live. I do not know if you are in Canada, or you are in Europe, or you are in Ukraine? Do not know that. But I do know that it is arrogant to throw everyone on the opposite of your political views on the cruel and horrible people column just because you think the US government is the lesser of two evils or because any government that can take Russia out of the equation is to be trusted innately.

I do not trust Imperialist governments. They mostly war among themselves. I would like there to be a position of all the nations that refuse to be placed in a fucking sandwich between the PRC and Russia vs The USA and the EU....or the EU vs USA, or EU vs PRC etc. Fuck that shit. Most nations are like Mexico. They have no skin in the game either way. Mexico is not going to send its soldiers and money to go and back some USA adventurism in the world, nor is it going to confront the Russian Federation with language that is offensive . What does Mexico gain from such stupidity diplomatically speaking. Mexico is not going to be trying to invade half the world to be a superpower. Most nations do not have the time, the money, the manpower or the arms to do such a thing. Instead Mexico has the most signed trade agreements in the entire world Litwin. it does business with the entire world. Why? So they can survive. It is also the reason why the drug trade is problematic. Because the USA has enormous amounts of DRUG ADDICTS demanding that Mexico, Central America and South America produce the shit for all their drug addicts in the major US cities. They blame Latin America. Capitalism states that if there is a profit to be had and there are people wanting the profits that the market will be created and whoever meets the demands reaps the profits. And the USA created the demand. Their failed drug policies never work to eradicate the problem of drug addict behavior in the USA. Fentanyl, oxycontin, and who knows what else? Heroine from Afghanistan, Cocaine from Colombia, Marijuana from Mexico or Central America, and everything in between....for what purpose? For the American drug addicts in the USA.

They need to fix their own domestic issues before wanting to control the world and make everyone else choose sides and do their bidding with threats and bullshit. That is my opinion litwin, take it or leave it.

It only makes you out as falling for bad and paid-for-cheap propaganda. As they say, you have watched too many Hollywood movies. Geopolitics in the real world as practiced is not about Hollywood versions of events. It is about real-world human behavior and how the abuse of power leads to major mistakes in the long run. That is reality. Not what you think it is.

I live in EU, once again, our Useful Idiots , would NOT SURVIVE A WEEK IN GULAG . have you ever lived in a non democratic country ?

I suspect a single great grand parent of African origin in the United States could have been much more of a discrimination than a single great grand parent of Jewish origin in Nazi Germany.

Most people do not study the USA's one-drop rule histories of racial purity. Most people do not study unconventional perspectives on history. You have a lot of stating the obvious, and you have a lot of unconventional history when you write Rich.

When I was a young woman in my late teens and early twenties my then boyfriend and now husband of many decades would go to the university library to find me. I would be reading books on many things. Some was pulp literature for entertainment. And other times it was a lot of Caribbean islands history. The history of the Caribbean. The European powers were always fighting over taking over tiny islands that lived far far from Europe. Schemes of extracting sugar and molasses, rum, coffee, chocolate, minerals like bauxite from Jamaica, and fruit, and many other smaller crops. I learned all I could about my region of the world. How people fled into the mountains avoiding these situations of oppression. And racial mixture was the norm. The Spanish wanted to whiten the Puerto Ricans, so they would encourage a lot of immigration from Spain. But, the Spanish areas that had people willing to immigrate? Were heavily influenced by the coasts of Africa and the Moorish influences. Over time we got almost every possible European group coming in as well. Different parts of Spain as well. Western African influences.

And the native Taino people also contributed. We were supposed to get a large group of immigrant Chinese workers. But there was a terrible storm and they died off the coast of Puerto Rico in a very deep part of the Atlantic and the Caribbean Sea.

History is fascinating. It teaches you why your cultural group thinks the way it thinks and why it does the actions that it takes. It explains behavior of nations in many ways. Puerto Rico is a very racially mixed society. Compared to the USA it is very mixed, and tolerant of differences. On all levels. A white Blonde looking Puerto Rican can easily be found practicing Western African creole religions and playing the congas or the drums....African looking Puerto Ricans can be very much almost pure in their Spanish cultural practices with visits to mass in the Roman Catholic churches and so on. There is everything fusing together and intermingling.

The concept of purity was tried. It failed a long time ago. And most Latin Americans over time have given up on these concepts of pure race thoughts. Somos la raza cósmica.

The Nazis wanted a regimented society. Something they could control the outcome of what was built. They should have realized that the human race is MESSY innately. Lol. Something that the Caribbean islands understood a long time ago Rich.

[Tainari88]

I live in EU, once again, our Useful Idiots , would NOT SURVIVE A WEEK IN GULAG . have you ever lived in a non democratic country ?

If I lived in a nation full of mafioso threats and gulag threats I would have to deal with it eh?

But, instead I lived in a nation that the ones denying basic democratic rights is the US government.

Because you do not know jack shit about that part of US history because the US government buries that shit hard and you cheerleaders for the US never study it at all? You assume that the US never violates human rights.

I got news for you? It does.

Did you know the US government sterilized Puerto Rican women en masse? And that there was Dr. Cornelius Rhodes who conducted illegal cancer experiments on Puerto Ricans? That the US Government sent Puerto Ricans fighting for their nationalist cause to the Gulag in the USA?

No. I never heard of it you say Litwin.

You will never hear of jack shit that does not fit what the powerful say.

Unlike you I do not blindly think that the Soviets were innocent or that Russia is the good guy because I am against the Yankee government. Again, that is for foolish people.

Rape happens in the USA.

I live in Mexico Litwin. Are you going to say I am going to be thrown into a gulag in Mexico?

Mexican immigration categorizes PRI or Puerto Rico....as a nation that is OCCUPIED ILLEGALLY by the USA government. Did you know that?

No, Litwin does not know. There is a lot of shit you do not know.

Again, the Russian Mafia government of Putin is not the only one with dirty fucking laundry they do not want to air out in public.

If you learn that one fact today it would be a miracle. You are SIMPLISTIC and have almost no understanding of anything beyond black and white versions of world history. IT is disappointing.

Why did they do this?

Because we reproduce like rabbits according to these Nazi-style US Yankee thinkers, and we are race mixed people being ruled by one drop racist rules USA.

Blanton Winship Eugenics guy wanting to sterilize our asses. The menace.

So Litwin the USSR was not the only government with gulags and sterilizing and poisonings and crap.

So stop being ignorant with how bad the other side can be.

You are dealing with human governments with bad policies on both sides. No such thing as Good vs Bad guys.

It is bullshit.

no, its not If - history. ITS REALITY OF 2024, If Ukraine goes down , the entire Free World will go down as well. and GULAG HAS VERY Little TO DO WITH MAFIA , Its more about Mongol - Muscovite oriental despotism.

so you know about about USSR MORE THAN ME ? OK

PS

PS

Despotism is about human governments being despots. It is not just Moscow. it is a lot of nations. Including the lies you have been told your entire life about how the US government is supposedly about justice and fairness. It is not to many people and other people who had to live through it.

I would appreciate it if you stop your arrogant bullshit about how I do not know.

I know about despots and imperialism. Empires and bullshit. I know about losing mothers to war. So please be respectful from now on with me and refrain from thinking I am some useful idiot. The only useful idiots are the ones who believe in childish versions of what human behavior is. If one nation and one group of people could be cruel and horrible to another in any place in the world? Then it is possible that it could happen in another place and with another group of people. All because humans are all ONE SPECIES.

That is being politically intelligent. Falling for propaganda only on either side of the political spectrum is a mistake Litwin.

I would appreciate it if you remain respectful and not fall into stereotypes of shit.

Again, Litwin, I know you think everyone who does not agree with your politics is some kind of despot.I am not. I never have been.

Again, I have never been an authoritarian.

Human suffering happens all over the world and to people from all walks of life and from many political points of view. It is mostly about imbalances in power relationships and abusive states.

So, sorry to say if you continue with the my suffering is worse than your suffering and Ukraine if it collapses to that fucking Putin Despot means the world will go down in flames? The reality is WWIII can happen. Nukes can be used. Why? Unless people start dealing with the root causes of why these despots take over power and why voters back these people? The problems will never go away.

Find a way out of the mess that is not about being blind to the defects of the many. What is bad about war is that many who think it is a good way of dealing with conflict never did much to prevent it in the first place. They believed in black and white versions of human history. That is what happens with people who are used to believing in simplistic shit.

you are not very good at Marxism as well...google : Marxist concepts of Asiatic society and Muscovite's Oriental despotism.


Karl Marx around the early 1850s. The essence of the theory has been described as "[the] suggestion ... that Asiatic societies were held in thrall by a despotic ruling clique (putin´s [i]ozero, stalin´s politburo) ,.....[/i]

[Tainari88]

And you are not very good at understanding that any society is vulnerable to despots and coups d'etats. You keep thinking the Muscovites are unique in the history of the world. They are not. The USA had a bunch of generals in the 1930s wanting to kill off the president of the USA and put in a general dictator. Yes, the US society wanted a despot.

They were not ruled by Marxist Asiatic society oriental Muscovite despotism. They were ruled by GREED and power-hungry shit. Like they all are. A universal human flaw.
It is not about culture. It is about a human defect of wanting POWER through force. Period.

Do you accept that or do I have to go and find you Muscovite-style despots in almost every modern nation on Earth and every culture on Earth in the past and some even in the present? Yes or no?

Gee, dictatorship plot in the USA.

They are not Muscovites. They are Anglo businessmen who you think are the heroes of the world. You are being biased @litwin. I know you love to think in black vs white good guys and bad guys terms. But human history belies that lie Litwin.

I know you want to think the Putin man is a unique horror never known before in human history. But he is not. There have been a good amount of them all over the world. Because what happens when the power hungry and greedy seize power by force? It is similar all over the world.

If you think that only the Moscow types and dirty Marxists are the ones who suffer from that illness? You will be wrong.

Which you are.

You can just admit it is a universal human flaw that everyone who does not want despotism has to fight against. And the argument is closed with you eh?

[litwin]

I find all that racist categorization and speculation and stupidity as just that. Stupid irrationality. But that is what racism is anyway Rich. It is all insanity anyway. One has to realize all of it is socially constructed. And it is ridiculous.

I really never liked ideas about social categorizations that were about purity. That is all fiction Rich.

Standard dehumanization technique before going to war.

Scampy wants to plant land mines, and do drone bombs on Central American refugees at the border. Their crime? Watching lots of USA propaganda movies about how America is easy street. It deserves a death sentence.

Scamp dehumanizes Latin Americans and thinks we are scum worthy of death.

Ukrainians are seen as animals by Russians eh? It is all the shit that happens justifying killing innocent people on both sides. War is horrific and dehumanizing. It does not surprise me.

Here is my country. It is just ugly with ugly shit. Lol. IDIOTS. So many people just believe sheer lies. It is disturbing.

I want freedom and a decent economy. Who the fuck pines for Moscow imperialism. The USSR dissolved a long time ago. They have malls and Gucci or used to have in Russia. Now they are a capitalist nation with invasions on the brain. So why are you saying they are Marxist? They gave that up. Did Putin say he is a Communist? Every marker says he is a nationalist fascist. .

Yet you try to pin that shitty nationalist fascism on the Puerto Rican left? That is BULLSHIT Litwin. Learn the politics of other nations and cultures. It is not some simple Marxist from the old Soviet Union. Sorry you are living in the past and wrong about it.

Is Putin a Marxist? Yes or no? According to many he is far Right and pro Capitalism. He is also very rich.

That puts him with Trump. Not Marx.

Litwin, according to many Putin is into fascist philosophy.

You are dealing with the Far Right. Accept it. Listen to this man analyze Putin and fascist thought. The USA has 75 million people willing to vote for another fascist conman.

Yet, you think the US is full of what? Decent cowboys. They are not. They are going down the same fucked up path as Putin laid out for Russians. Where everyone is apathetic and let the authoritarian assholes take over. Wake up dude. I have 0% in common with those people. I hate them. They represent the worst of it all.

... "Let us begin with this evident fact: Muscovy does not belong at all to Europe, but to Asia. It follows that judging Muscovy and the Muscovites by our European standards is a mistake to be avoided."—gonzague de reynold, 19501 In methodological terms, one should de-Europeanise any analysis of Muscovy policy.— thomas gomart, 20062 "

if we dont stop Moscow imperialism fast , we are gonna see a lot blood, enslavement, pogroms , GULAG etc. very soon ....
