I believe most know MSM is left-leaning (unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past years) and the main reason why independent/alternative news outlets have risen to notoriety

All the examples I gave are listed as such in the Wikipedia link I provided as opening statement. Also, I was very clear to say: IN MY EXPERIENCE, meaning that's what I've encountered in most social media sites I visit. That's how Conservatives come across. They do mention God a lot and whole-heartedly believe Trump is one of the "good ones"... The fact you're not one of them makes you the exception to the rule.

Everyone is susceptible to conspiracies, and some are interesting (fun) to ponder… However, its conservatives the ones talking about The Illuminati, Satanism, Trump being a Godsend, etc. When you mix religion with an attempt at critical thinking there’s bound to be a clash. And from that perspective, conservatives come across a tad nuttier - no offense. ; )

Relax, those just were some examples. Of course, conspiracy theorists exist on both sides of the aisle. However, in my experience you’re more likely to come across conservative keyboard warriors, intent on waking people up than liberals. That’s what I was referring to, perhaps not eloquently enough.

From 9/11 was an inside job, to false flags, NWO, deep state, stolen election to Covid and vaccinations. Is it because they are critical thinkers or more gullible and easily manipulated? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_conspiracy_theories#Trump,_Biden,_and_Ukraine

MEGA Yawn! Your war criminals are better than theirs...

Want to bet? Trump is a populist and will do whatever it takes to get the votes. Pandering to angry conservatives is what he does best - not to begrudge them. Biden acts as if he is president of Ukraine, not the USA. Imagine giving $60B away just because Vodka Man Bad.

I wish Europe the best and hope they’re prepared to weather the storm coming their way. Sanctions have certainly hurt Russia but not to the point of crippling them into defeat. Their economy was grossly underestimated. Unlike some countries’ economies that are service-based and heavily rely on financial speculation, Russia’s economy is commodity and product based, they have stuff the world wants and needs. This will enable them to deal with sanctions for a long time – possibly years. Especially, because most countries haven’t joined in imposing sanctions. Also, Europe must consider that if Republicans win 2024 (as they most certainly will) and if Trump becomes president, funding for NATO and foreign aid to Ukraine will stop. Many Americans are furious with Biden’s magnanimous approach. How much has he given to Ukraine $54B – $60B? All this while the American people are hurting and with no checks and balances attached to the “gifts”. Its been reported by the Financial Times that Ukrainian oligarchs are smuggling weapons and of money gone missing – nothing new, this also happened in Iraq. On a related note, the Euro is now on par with the USD for the first time in 20 years.

Are you sure Americans think the price is worth it? 8) Biden Ukraine.mp4

The way of proxy wars. USA and NATO are willing to fight this war to the last Ukrainian just as they did in Afghanistan... Because you know: "we think, the price is worth it."

Approximately 80 countries are showing interest in joining BRICS; which is led by China. Just as the west is moving away from a single supply line source, the developing countries want to shield themselves from the west and have other markets and sources in their economic arsenal. The Dollar has already lost more than its shine and the ROW sees the perils of having it as the reserve currency. The G7 with a population of 777 million pales in comparison with the BRICS current population of 3.2 billion to which more countries will join in the future starting with Iran and Argentina applying for membership. Saudi Arabia is also considering membership. In addition, did you know Russia, Iran and China are about to conduct military exercises in Venezuela? This hasn’t been confirmed but it’s been talked about. ----------- P.S. How old are you? Winning? Winning what exactly? ROLF!

You've rebutted absolutely anything and apparently live in denial. Have a good one!

Not true, and I'm not spending time going in circles with someone who didn't even check the info I provided.

I could say the same about you. At least, I listened to what he had to say and even checked some of his analysis on YouTube. Did you do the same for Michael Hudson?

He makes several good points but his analysis comes from an American exceptionalism POV where he constantly underestimates rival powers.

Weak sauce? At least I took the time to watch his "analysis" and do a bit of research about the accuracy of his past predictions. Did you do the same regarding Michael Hudson?

In what alternative reality does this guy live? His wishful thinking is kind of endearing… I hope not too many take him seriously.

Identity politics are dividing the country to the point of no return, and BTW, anyone with the illusion that the two-party system stands for different things is completely deluded. The rhetoric may be different, but the results are the same: They’re both pro-oligarchy. They both consistently favor big pharma, big tech, big banks, the military-industrial complex, etc., and both are squeezing the little guy to the max. Both are ineffective in affecting change and full of excuses and blame-shifting. The power Trump has is that he speaks to the masses that feel ignored by the left and its out-of-touch priorities. Most could care less about the woke agenda when they can’t stretch their paychecks till the end of the month and have to incur in debt just to make ends meet. Both Biden and Trump suck for different reasons. However, they’re similar in that both are leaders from the crypt in an evident state of mental decline and should be in a retirement home. In addition, both are corrupt to the core. There is one thing where I think Trump wins (is way worse) and that is that he single-handedly managed to lower the level of discourse and disguise it as freedom of speech. I wish the USA well, because if their last two presidents are any indication of the future of that country on the global stage - irrelevancy is the name of the game.

No it isn't. Actually, it's the USA the one in decline. https://multipolarista.com/2022/06/28/michael-hudson-inflation-fed-wages/

Statistically, whites reproduce less Statistically, there’s a population decline worldwide except for Africa Please let whites be “generous” before they become a minority, perhaps the non-white population will be generous back. FYI - I find the white/non-white wording extremely biased.

Quite frankly, I think China could care less what the USA thinks about them. Their economy and military can overtake the USA; I don’t see them becoming “the” global superpower though. USA’s ideological, political and cultural superiority makes it very difficult for China to aspire to the same level of respect and acceptance worldwide. We’re simply heading towards a multipolar world.

Another point to consider is economics. Fast/Junk food is cheaper than healthier options, espcially if we're talking organic. I wager most obese people aren't rich.

I agree, the notion of one-world government sounds terrible to me; however, I doubt this will come to pass, instead I believe we’re heading towards a multipolar world. Fractured in two, the Eurasian block and the western block. BRICS is gaining traction: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/iran-applies-join-brics-group-emerging-countries-2022-06-27/ Also, the USA is broke and I wonder for how long they’ll be able to prop their fiat currency https://www.usdebtclock.org/

I love where you’re coming from, a concept of integrity that unfortunately, I don’t see anywhere practiced in politics. Are things getting worse? Where they always like this? Or are we simply older/wiser and can see the forest for the trees? Seems everyone is up for sale and the SCOTUS is no different. Intellect or a watered version of it may be still around; however, loyalty takes precedence and permeates all endeavors. A single person shouldn’t be appointing public servants for long-life tenures. Many conservatives think of Trump as a “Godsend”, but he’s (like all of us) a fallible individual with limited knowledge. The only solution I see, is having limited appointments, say of 10 years. And that’s the main challenge the USA is facing today, the country has been polarized to an unhealthy/religious degree. Many conservatives truly believe this is the end of times and that their fighting evil represented by the demonic Democrats. When church and state mix, you can expect nefarious consequences.
