@TheRedPike that's because only a fascist racist bigot would say such a thing

@TheRedPike IDk if you're American, but observant and engaged people should be well aware of the pattern underway once again. Hype up and manipulate problem, offer expensive and draconian solution, manipulated public buys in eagerly and voluntary supports and facilitates it, later blames "other political sportsball team that actually opposed it " for outcomes that predictably affect their interests negatively.

@adam-l Of course he would write something like that. He was trying to persuade people to support him and his movement. He couldn't very well say he was planning an authoritarian state that would suppress dissent. And the globalist/nationalist distinction isn't meaningful. All those movements, whether seen as left or right, employ jingoistic slogans designed to appeal to certain people. The focus group tested phrase "our democracy," used ad nauseum by the American authoritarian left and its propagandists and allies in the uniparty, is a recent example.

@MentORPHEUS Well, I don't know what the official narrative is, nor do I really care about any narrative. I do know As a general rule, you can count in ballistics slowing down faster than expected, which would explain a .30-06 getting stopped like that. I've personally seen a melon stop a .308 at 50 feet. But the bullet can never speed up once it left the barrel, which is what makes the dear thing absurd.

@Stigma while that's pretty amusing, it's entirely inaccurate
Clean up your act, hoe

it pretty much amounted to "I'm offended",
It called out an incorrect assumption.
What is bunk is the following reductive equation:
Leftism bad
Socialism bad
Socialism = leftism = bad
There is no context, there is no nuance, there is no working out. Your homework would be better if it was eaten by your dog.

@Stigma it pretty much amounted to "I'm offended", which to borrow from Stephen Fry, "so fucking what?" and "nationalism vs globalism means that Nazis can't be leftist" which is bunk.
