Exactly right. #BLM

I want to get back to this later, but for now, when I say fake leftists, I'm talking about those who have been co-opted by the CIA and other agencies, which began directly in the 50's and 60's, as believe it or not, Gloria Steinem admitted in her confessional biography a few years ago that YES she had been a CIA informant back in the 60's when she and a few other grifters transformed the original 'Women's Liberation Movement' into a bland 'Feminist Movement' of wealthier professional women who no longer had any message on classism! Everything would be about sex and gender and why men are bad wherever they appear on political and economic spectrums. It was the same way that George Meany became the primary agent of destruction of organized labour when he became chairman of the AFL-CIO, and allowed the Taft-Hartley Act to make further union organizing more difficult, and told union leaders that they risked the continued welfare of unions and the labor movement if they didn't identify and remove communists from their memberships. In more recent times, the CIA and FBI have preferred the indirect route of setting up NGO's to be the go-betweens handing out the money to fake leftist media and organizations. Before the ISO was discovered to have been a fraud...because of their questionable positions on US sponsored wars, and being on the wrong side every time in Latin America (such as against the Sandinista Party in Nicaragua when the US was trying to sow unrest there) they had already been found out, and most of their members were making their way to the more useful DSA as an organizing tool. Chomsky, since this old fool is still taken as an ideological hero of the nebulous left, in spite of his dubious political advice....always lining up with the Democratic Party, regardless of whatever criticism he gives them, I am reminded that Chomps could never find a real revolutionary group he liked, or didn't support more than CIA-sponsored groups. I can't say he held malevolent intentions, but by being among the cheering section when the Wall fell in Berlin 30 years ago, he had long failed to mention that the old Soviet Union had been the only ones offering education and monetary assistance to revolutionary groups around the world for decades. With the Soviet Union gone, the US Empire has really been able to show its teeth in recent decades and unabashedly apply deadly military power for strategic and financial gain around the world. America's main industry today (which we are part of also) is WAR. It is the only significant industrial sector left in US manufacturing because it is the essential tool for an empire to maintain its power and exploit the weaker nations. If Chomsky, with alll of his education and credentials, wasn't aware of what might happen if you crawl into your anarchist shell and pretend the Soviets or Mao's China served no purpose for left movements in America, he only fooled himself and his followers!

Primarily and ultimately, it is the result and in my view, quite inevitable one, of the indifference and complacency of the public. A democracy cannot prosper where it is not in demand, where people don't care, don't clean it, maintain it, don't discuss and seek necessary improvements and gave up the will and hope to implement them. Basically, where few care, and those who do mostly to talk it away.

GOP downplays Jan. 6 violence: Like a 'normal tourist visit' no words can describe how ridiculous this is! looks like a great "tourist" visit! hahahaha!

I'm really not getting it. Why do we always need to qualify something that is clearly and obviously wrong? How is it helping to understand and deal with real problems? Yes violent riots and damage to property is wrong. And yes, storming the seat of democracy is a violent assault on democracy. Both are wrong. Both lead down the path to even more polarization and erosion of democracy that, as the past has shown is not magically protected and could cease to exist if we insist on walking down it. Here. Was it really so difficult?

And speaking of the hysteric writing for The Hill, when I say hysteric I'm referring to this: OK so let's hear from one of these "Republican after Republicans" to see what Hysterical Hillboy is so upset about: The Congressman asked one question in particular I found interesting. Has anybody been charged with "insurrection?" The answer, of course, is no. So why do we let these fools call January 6 an insurrection then? There's no reason to believe it was one.

Spiked-online doesn't agree with the fake news hysterics like the guy writing in the OP for The Hill. What "insurrection" is more like it. Capitol riot: the terror attack that wasn’t Everything the hysterical left rushed out to scare the gullibles turned out to be BS when the facts came in. Officer Sicknick died of natural causes. There were no armed insurrectionists. Trump did not incite the rioters. AOC was full of crap. She was never in any danger. She wasn't even there. Nancy's claim of Russian involvement and "Putin's puppets" was just more BS for the pile.

Agreed. Almost as ridiculous as the “mostly peaceful “ protestors of BLM and Antifa!

Well you what they say you get what you pay for... I watched a few interviews with Mad max, and there was no playing in the middle there, it was down right hostile....for a news media site....

WOW, you must be confusing me with taxme and that hurts really, i don't think i have ever used any of those media sites in any sources I've provided. But thanks for taking the time to answer a few questions i have asked, all those examples you have provided it will take me weeks to read through them all. But really I'm willing to eat crow or shit if you can prove any of my points false. should not be that hard you seem really confident that your in right and i'm just blinded by my dislike of the left....

Interesting topics certainly. Of the very wide and long indeed general subject of democracy I specifically meant this country's, Canadian democracy. It has been frozen in time since creation of institutions in mid 19th century and has been extremely reluctant to change ever since. You are correct in that some meaningful change occurs outside of the system of governance. However, a system that never changes and would not change would inevitably grow inefficient and unable to fulfill the needs of the society. We are beginning to see that process already and the math says that it will accelerate. And it's up to the society to maintain and update its democratic institutions as and when necessary, not run away hide and delegate it somewhere else. And the most recent example. Today unelected Commissioner acquitted PM of wrongdoing in the We affair. If you asked a person in the street see this guy's dad got $,00,000 lecturing for the company and then the company got a multi-billion non-competitive contract is it a conflict of interest - how many and which answers would we get? At what point do you start asking, is the thing working for the society or for and mostly, itself?

Nope. We both appear to talking about the same thing. However, I don't think Taxme is really talking about not enough government. Sounds more to me like he's talking about just enough. It's also possible to have too much. Mike and others seem to like that idea.

There's a very good reason why you can't address any single topic that I've brought up, and there are many more. Feel free to go back into your cozy bubble if you don't want to talk myata.

Actually, it started with Pierre Trudeau, but no matter, as P. Trudeau, Mulroney, Chretien, Martin, Harper, and J. Trudeau are all complicit in Canada's economic and vaccine policy decisions. All Canadian to me..."south of the border". Canada recognized the need years ago, but still failed to address the pandemic vaccine dependence issue. The U.S. had NAFTA too, but didn't sell off pandemic vaccine development manufacturing capabilities. https://www.thestar.com/news/2009/07/17/swine_flu_in_1976_led_to_canadas_pandemic_vaccine_contract.html?rf Canada's choice(s)...so live with them and make better choices next time. Canada use to be able to get things done...not anymore. The U.S. is not responsible for Canada's economy or public health infrastructure, and neither is Europe.

So are we weakening our government then? Because isn't what you describe what we're evolving into now? More in America than here maybe. But where they go we follow. Now the corporate media with what they call social media pretty much tells us what's OK to say and think and we're watching that eventually turn into legislation. The corporates are starting to flip left. And my evidence of that is 'look around.' Hate to go Godwin on you but when the practice of historical oopsies repeating themselves becomes obvious 'what you gonna do?' Corporatism is how the Nazis got the trains to run on time in a larger sense. The national socialists evolved out of socialism into a corporatist supported dictatorship. It's not unforseen that groups with common interests in control will ally together. Currently the globalists, are corporate involved and allied with progressive socialists. Whatever name you want to give what's coming I'm against it.

The exact people that had you sucked in for most of the last ten years just sucked you in again, and you're asking their stupid questions instead of 'critically thinking'. If you're keeping score, I correctly stated [paraphrasing] that leftists are the biggest group of muppets since the German people blindly followed Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, and you're getting bogged down talking about how many people supported 2 hrs of unarmed riots. I'm talking about a class 6 hurricane, you're talking about a tempest in a teapot. Leftists lovingly gobbled up tens of thousands of doses of blatant, idiotic propaganda and then regurgitated it venomously for more than half a decade. Those people supported violent, racially bigoted riots (which had no basis in fact) which featured dozens of murders and thousands of assaults for almost 3 full years. Now those exact same leftists are going berserk over an extremely small quazi-riot that lasted less than 2 hours on one day in January of 2021. Leftists said: "Police and the National Guard need to let the rioters continue to burn cities and assault people unhindered!" for years. Now they're supporting tens of thousands of National Guardsmen to stop another unarmed riot of 200 people?????????????? Are you fuckin kidding me? FYI the National Guard are in DC as part of a fear mongering campaign by the Demonrats. "White, conservative men are the biggest terrorist group in North America!!!!! Everybody panic! Just look at the massive body count that may start to exist at some point in the future!" lol.

Lol. The biggest thing that you can find out of the last 7 years is 90 minutes of quazi-rioting at the capitol by less than 200 people myata? What you fail to understand is that conservatives don't agree with what happened either. We don't act like it was a myth or it was peaceful. It's just not at all what liberal sycophants make it out to be. The actions of 200 unarmed people don't speak for over 100M.

It's not lame at all, it's quite an accurate counter to your post. I'll grant you that maybe there are some places on this earth where leftists don't lack the ability to think for themselves but none of them have that ability in America or they wouldn't be leftists. I'm not kidding when I say that everyone who considers themselves a demonrat was sucked in by all of the things that I mentioned (unless they're manipulators), and more. Do you think that you can cite some leftists who spoke out strongly against the violent riots of 2014-2016 or 2020? The collusion hoax? Can you find some leftists who were alarmed by the fact that high-ranking members of the FBI were caught committing serious crimes? Can you name some leftists who weren't sucked in by Dr Ford? Can you name some leftists who don't think that Trump asked Zelenski point blank to investigate the Biden's Burisma scandal? There are many more.... Leftists get sucked in by everything that they see on CNN, period. There isn't a single leftist on this site who can watch CNN and notice even the most blatant lies and bullshit. Not one. If an apprentice carpenter on CNN said that drinking your own piss was the only way to save yourself from covid they'd all do it, unless they were suicidal. Ask any leftist which presidential candidate got caught cheating on the 2016 election and I guarantee you that every single one of them will say "Trump", but the fact remains that Hillary is known to have cheated THREE TIMES. Trump has been falsely accused of colluding with Russia one single time, that's it. I'm not exaggerating at all when I say that American leftists are a gaggle of muppets who COMPLETELY lack the ability to think for themselves. 100%. Carved in stone. I tell my kid that there are basically 3 levels of intelligence: 1) people who can figure things out for themselves and predict things, 2) people who can understand what other people are explaining to them, and 3) people who can't understand things even when they're explained to them. Leftists fit into category 3, to a man.

Lots of Canadians want to get vaccinated, but can't because of the federal government's vaccine development and supply fiasco. Some Canadians are not waiting around like sheep, and are going to the USA where Americans have to decide on Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna to fill their swimming pools. More transparency, consistency, and competence....is that too much to ask ? "Live Free or Die" - New Hampshire's state motto...and hardly a bastion for "right wingers".

Anyone heard of the State of Michigan/Gretchen Whitmer or the company called Enbridge ? Asking for a friend . . .

Confirmed cases is not the entire domain, for VIIT or COVID-19. Actual cases are likely higher than "confirmed".

That's right. Canadians don't care as long as they have the Canadian essentials in life- a hockey game, and a bottle of beer.And now they have what is essentially government-grown dope. Thanks to J. Trudeau: "Opium is the opium for the masses." - Albert E. Oftenwrong
