Francis Fukuyama, author of the infamous End of History and the Last Man, has written an article in the NYT about the decline of American and global democracy. Thoughts?

Right about everything.

The people who spoke against him are ironically the most comfortable with the 'end of history' decadent democracies of nowadays. The caudillos of authoritarian regimes who supported communist oligarchies as well as authoritarian juntas in America are the greatest and most affeminate supporters of the virtues of progressive liberal democracy.

The Jan. 6 attack on Congress by a mob inspired by former President Donald Trump marked an ominous precedent for U.S. politics. Not since the Civil War had the country failed to effect a peaceful transfer of power, and no previous candidate purposefully contested an election’s results in the face of broad evidence that it was free and fair.

The event continues to reverberate in American politics — but its impact is not just domestic. It has also had a large impact internationally and signals a significant decline in American global power and influence.

Jan. 6 needs to be seen against the backdrop of the broader global crisis of liberal democracy. According to Freedom House’s 2021 Freedom in the World report, democracy has been in decline for 15 straight years, with some of the largest setbacks coming in the world’s two largest democracies, the United States and India. Since that report was issued, coups took place in Myanmar, Tunisia and Sudan, countries that had previously taken promising steps toward democracy.
The world had experienced a huge expansion in the number of democracies, from around 35 in the early 1970s to well over 110 by the time of the 2008 financial crisis. The United States was critical to what was labeled the “Third Wave” of democratization. America provided security to democratic allies in Europe and East Asia, and presided over an increasingly integrated global economy that quadrupled its output in that same period.
But global democracy was underpinned by the success and durability of democracy in the United States itself — what the political scientist Joseph Nye labels its “soft power.” People around the world looked up to America’s example as one they sought to emulate, from the students in Tiananmen Square in 1989 to the protesters leading the “color revolutions” in Europe and the Middle East in subsequent decades.

The decline of democracy worldwide is driven by complex forces. Globalization and economic change have left many behind, and a huge cultural divide has emerged between highly educated professionals living in cities and residents of smaller towns with more traditional values. The rise of the internet has weakened elite control over information; we have always disagreed over values, but we now live in separate factual universes. And the desire to belong and have one’s dignity affirmed are often more powerful forces than economic self-interest.
The world thus looks very different from the way it did roughly 30 years ago, when the former Soviet Union collapsed. There were two key factors I underestimated back then — first, the difficulty of creating not just democracy, but also a modern, impartial, uncorrupt state; and second, the possibility of political decay in advanced democracies.

The American model has been decaying for some time. Since the mid-1990s, the country’s politics have become increasingly polarized and subject to continuing gridlock, which has prevented it from performing basic government functions like passing budgets. There were clear problems with American institutions — the influence of money in politics, the effects of a voting system increasingly unaligned with democratic choice — yet the country seemed to be unable to reform itself. Earlier periods of crisis like the Civil War and the Great Depression produced farsighted, institution-building leaders; not so in the first decades of the 21st century, which saw American policymakers presiding over two catastrophes — the Iraq war and the subprime financial crisis — and then witnessed the emergence of a shortsighted demagogue egging on an angry populist movement.
Up until Jan. 6, one might have seen these developments through the lens of ordinary American politics, with its disagreements on issues like trade, immigration and abortion. But the uprising marked the moment when a significant minority of Americans showed themselves willing to turn against American democracy itself and to use violence to achieve their ends. What has made Jan. 6 a particularly alarming stain (and strain) on U.S. democracy is the fact that the Republican Party, far from repudiating those who initiated and participated in the uprising, has sought to normalize it and purge from its own ranks those who were willing to tell the truth about the 2020 election as it looks ahead to 2024, when Mr. Trump might seek a restoration.

The impact of this event is still playing out on the global stage. Over the years, authoritarian leaders like Vladimir Putin of Russia and Aleksandr Lukashenko of Belarus have sought to manipulate election results and deny popular will. Conversely, losing candidates in elections in new democracies have often charged voter fraud in the face of largely free and fair elections. This happened last year in Peru, when Keiko Fujimori contested her loss to Pedro Castillo in the second round of the country’s presidential election. Brazil’s president, Jair Bolsonaro, has been laying the grounds for contesting this year’s presidential election by attacking the functioning of Brazil’s voting system, just as Mr. Trump spent the lead-up to the 2020 election undermining confidence in mail-in ballots.

Before Jan. 6, these kinds of antics would have been seen as the behavior of young and incompletely consolidated democracies, and the United States would have wagged its finger in condemnation. But it has now happened in the United States itself. America’s credibility in upholding a model of good democratic practice has been shredded.

This precedent is bad enough, but there are potentially even more dangerous consequences of Jan. 6. The global rollback of democracy has been led by two rising authoritarian countries, Russia and China. Both powers have irredentist claims on other people’s territory. President Putin has stated openly that he does not believe Ukraine to be a legitimately independent country but rather part of a much larger Russia. He has massed troops on Ukraine’s borders and has been testing Western responses to potential aggression. President Xi of China has asserted that Taiwan must eventually return to China, and Chinese leaders have not excluded the use of military force, if necessary.

A key factor in any future military aggression by either country will be the potential role of the United States, which has not extended clear security guarantees to either Ukraine or Taiwan but has been supportive militarily and ideologically aligned with those countries’ efforts to become real democracies.

If momentum had built in the Republican Party to renounce the events of Jan. 6 the way it ultimately abandoned Richard Nixon in 1974, we might have hoped that the country might move on from the Trump era. But this has not happened, and foreign adversaries like Russia and China are watching this situation with unconstrained glee. If issues like vaccinations and mask-wearing have become politicized and divisive, consider how a future decision to extend military support — or to deny such support — to either Ukraine or Taiwan would be greeted. Mr. Trump undermined the bipartisan consensus that existed since the late 1940s over America’s strong support for a liberal international role, and President Biden has not yet been able to re-establish it.

The single greatest weakness of the United States today lies in its internal divisions. Conservative pundits have traveled to illiberal Hungary to seek an alternative model, and a dismaying number of Republicans see the Democrats as a greater threat than Russia.
The United States retains a huge amount of economic and military power, but that power is not usable in the absence of domestic political consensus over the country’s international role. If Americans cease to believe in an open, tolerant and liberal society, our capacity to innovate and lead as the world’s foremost economic power will also diminish. Jan. 6 sealed and deepened the country’s divisions, and for that reason it will have consequences echoing across the globe in the years to come.

What a disappointing mess. Republicans are to blame, really? Those cowards who do not even represent the people who vote for them anymore? I couldn't expect more from someone writing for Carlos Slim's globalist outlet, but Fukuyama is precise in his description of the symptoms while failing miserable to asses the disease. It is like a man remembers every sentence of a novel except for its title.

I will try and take hold of the situation. The crisis we are living through is not natural, but a result a bad politics and bad politicians, in an age where political opposition has been criminalized as thought crime and the synagogue of science is now the church legitimizing censorship and ostracism.

The world economy simply cannot go on with the lockdowns and current sanitary policies that dominate the political and economical landscape. But the elites require this. Here's why:

>1st, lockdowns have NOTHING to do with protecting lives. They are meant to justify continuous global quantitative easing, where the government increases the amount of money in the economy in order to keep itself solvent as well as business that were supposed to break since 2008. More than 50% of the world's dollars were created from 2020 to 2021. The economy has left reality completely, everyone is getting poorer, governments and the super rich are getting richer while enjoying post-capitalism. Lockdowns must continue because former AAA companies back in 2008 are now considered high-risk investments due to the absurd amount of debt they have every year and how much money the banking system needs to provide them in order to roll their debts and avoid bankrupcy. Governments need an excuse to create new money and to force foreign governments to do the same in order to avoid an exchange crisis, hence why the lockdowns exist — it is to force the GLOBAL governments to act in unisson to expand themselves
>2nd, the average person is suffering. Hunger is expanding all over the world. Prices are rising worldwide. Consumer and producer trust are free falling because nobody can tell anymore when the government will order a lockdown and crash society, destroying jobs and business. Nobody wants to invest like this, especially considering the most profitable activity today is just borrowing money or investing in a phony financial market

>3rd, there is no politics to defend the people who suffer. The media and government have deplatformed all but those that agreed with their prescribed lockdown and science. There is no democracy anymore because no room is left to question the decisions legitimized by the synagogue of science. You question them? Instantly you lose your platform, job and credibility — meanwhile all the warnings from anti-vaxxers come true, such as the endless booster shots, the failed vaccines and the next lockdown
>4th, the collapse is GLOBAL. One failed state will turn into a dozen as the king is revealed to be naked. The human tribe walks together and one act of rebellion incites another. See the Arab Spring
>5th, there is no political solution to this crisis. We live in a global dictatorship. The only possible solution comes through violent insurrection or revolution, since society has left it clear there is no room to question the government in a peaceful manner

Rejoice.

The happening to end all happenings is soon upon us.

No, the Right pretty clearly wants a government concerned with the health and wellbeing of the people rather than the profits of Jewish Finance.

The right wants a dictator who is just them but successful who will implement social stasis (impossible) and unburden the obedient and unimaginative from their very oppressive task of having to form their own life. The left wants to just have the state churn out chaff and simply ignores the minutiae that policy addresses in favor of a magical utopia.

Fukuyama is one of the major figureheads for determining the direction of Liberalism. When America was invading the Middle East he was a neocon, now with Liberalism imploding he is more progressive, taking the basic lefty stance of blaming Trump and Republicans for everything while endorsing progressive goals like better healthcare and more demographic diversity. This fascinates me because he is supporting the ideals espoused by "leftists" in America not as a way to challenge Liberalism but to sustain it. Leftists claim the opposite; they believe more public ownership, better social welfare and collective unity will be the replacement for Liberalism and Capitalism. There's absolutely zero reason for to believe that leftists seriously provide an alternative to liberal capitalism when all of their projects are so reconcilable with the system that Francis Fukuyama of all fucking people is on their side.

I think one of the secondary causes is the weakening of political parties (which are not really proper parties like in parliamentary systems) in a political system designed to mitigate against parties. You see fewer people identifying with parties. Instead, they have become hollowed-out shells that exist as conduits to move money from donors to candidates, and the candidates' job is to deliver their voters to the donors.

Where the Marxism comes in is that this is because the capitalist class won a historic victory with the neoliberal counter-revolution and there is no threat to them, so they have no need to engage in class-wide action to save their asses in the long term. Instead, they can focus on their short-term, superficial, practical, and particular interests in different business sectors. So, political divisions in this bourgeois sham are primarily divisions between different capitalists representing different sectors (such as globally-integrated services vs. traditional industries including resource extraction). That is basically the "Democrat vs. Republican" divide and the politicians in both "parties" hustle to deliver the voters to their donors by appealing to the self-regard, fears and prejudices of their respective constituencies.

Francis' job is to make banal, gnomic observations anyways. What he doesn't want to do, and what he thinks is a Very Bad thing, is for the U.S. to give up its empire and pull back its military from overseas because Russia/Russia/Russia/China/China/China. But I think that's one of the main reasons for the rot, and while I'm blogging, think that historians one day in the future will pinpoint the JFK assassination as a pivot point here (the collapse of the USSR and 9/11 being two others).

See, JFK was operating from a liberal hypothesis (pretty Catholic seeming) that communism was part of a crisis of technological advance, a reaction to culture shock in backwards countries. The idea was that the communists were an opportunistic conspiracy in these places so his plan was to assist governments with popular mandates to resist while they still could, but explicitly felt that if a country's people were in favor of the communists or anything else, then that should be respected because the U.S. had no chance of beating an entire population anyways.

The issue here is that this liberal foreign policy vision really would've been a disaster for U.S. hegemony. He thought otherwise, I think, but the military and CIA knew the score. So, not really "JFK = no intervention" vs. "CIA = intervention," rather there were different strategies that were extremely incompatible, so JFK got his brains blown out.

Then this happened:

Your mistake is thinking THIS is democracy.

Haven't you realized disagreeing with official policy has become a crime? Look at the amount of thought crimes they've created. By masquerading government policy under the guise of protecting minorities, they make even questioning them a mistake. Look at the subprime bubble: it was born out of the democrat party calling racist the fact that minorities did not get mortgages from banks. If it had happened nowadays, there would be no way someone would've been able to oppose this policy without ending their political and social career.

Democracy claims its legitimacy from the will of the people, yet the will of the people has been co-opted by press organs and legislation which have made the free discussion between the citizens something illegal if it does not go in favour of the ideological framework of democracy.

What we live is an unlegitimate dictatorship which claims to be democratic for pure moral reasons, as democracy is the modern way that the godless state legitimizes itself. We are seeing the replacement of the will of the people for the will of the specialists, as not only opposing government becomes a thought crime, it becomes murder and an attempt against public healthcare because le scientist man said so.

This paragraph irks me because of how it ends. The passage is about America's political decline, but it stops at Trump as though he was the culmination and so passively insinuates that Biden is not continuous with the trend of decline. He most certainly is. Filthy NYT is showing its politics here. Biden is a double whammy of incompetence and unfitness for office. He is merely unfit in ways that differ from Trump. This ideologically motivated omission harms Fukuyama's argument and distorts the bigger picture. Fukuyama loses credibility as an impartial observer through this unforgivable act of omission.

Thinking about this more, this post is like encapsulated American ideology in its way because it reflects the idea that Good Men stand up to Bad Authority. That dreaded Godless State... which is telling you to continue doing whatever you want.

So you're rebelling against nothing. Or, well, you're rebelling against a relatively small number of people who are basically telling you to do the equivalent of wear a goddamn seat belt and practice good defensive driving skills so you don't get into an accident in the first place. Avoiding infectious virus particles in this analogy is entirely like defensive driving while everything else (vaxx, tests, etc.) are a car's safety features.

But that's difficult. Because we have, as a population, become complacent that "What Was" is what always "Will Be," and the suggestion that life has changed permanently and that change is required of us in order to meet the challenges of the day is met with unrelenting cognitive stress for a population that always became accustomed to major events (9/11) by going shopping and thinking it affects them even though it doesn't really. Easier to narrow the locus of perception down to what allows us to continue as if the status quo has not changed.

Which is why right-wing media every day serves steaming portions of blatant dissonance specifically built for utter morons who cannot begin to think for themselves at all.

Thing is, the Democrats are even worse. Because they brainwashed everyone into OPEN BIDEN. When Trump was defeated, we were supposed. to. go. back. to. BRUNCH. How could reality betray us again? Like reality has done over and over and over again. Yet they keep blubbering into making the same goddammed mistakes. What could be the reason for this? Mental illness?

I guess I should add that it might help to actually have a government that serves the interest of the masses instead of the wealthy few and having citizenry whose brains aren't rotted by 24/7 neolib neocon propaganda dedicated to making number go up and mindlessly consuming. But I guess it worked out okay.

Liberalism is a self-perpetuating prison of decadence. It literally requires a never-ending discourse about rights and freedoms regardless of how exhausted these ideals become. Fukuyama explicitly admits this in his books and approves of Liberalism solely because he sees it as the best way to maintain stability and peace. He never denies that the relative peace inside Liberalism isn't fulfilling, because it isn't. America is so arrogant and unable to conceive of a world that isn't determined by its own hegemony that it will scapegoat itself just to keep the public discourse moving.

This is a magical 'How can I tell you are a college liberal without telling people that I am a college liberal?'

The dissonance in this post is spectacular that you will even call the deplatformed, censored and ostracized independent media some form of expression for the utter morons who cannot think for themselves - instead of the legal state and billionaire MSM that has turned opposition to policy into an attempt against public healthcare.

I wish I could say this point is in defense of the working class. Rather, it is in defense of nothing. It is the materialization of the status quo not through argument (which is promptly disqualified as opposition to the gods of the city), but through the attack of the act of opposition.

Actions have consequences outside of liberal wonderlands. Business are going broke, prices are rising, more than half the existing dollars have been printed blessed by a pandemic that would've been disregarded 50 years ago.

I think most liberals overestimate liberalism and its appeal. It's really like a religion, and any small nation that wishes to to business with America had to nominally convert to liberal democracy. In reality the vast majority of these liberal democracies were dictatorships that ran phony elections every few years. Pundits, including Fukuyama, took an inventory of governments in the world and saw a bunch labelled democratic and assumed the number would go up forever. But now, due to internal decadence, America is a much less compelling trade partner and now due to large setbacks in military success, a defensive ally. China is on the rise, China happens to be an authoritarian state, it follows that liberalism will fall out of favor. Although I'm unfamiliar whether China forces communism on its client states.

I didn't say it was, I said "religionless." Liberalism makes the untenable claim that it forms a society with no religion (not Christianity specifically), but all society MUST have something of a religion to it, as religion is merely the alignment of people/society towards a perceived ultimate truth or good. Humans will always do this, so if the state/government does not supply it, then the void will be filled with idols that the people come up with.

I posted this before but here I go again.

I am reminded of this Tocqueville chapter:
>I do not assert that men living in democratic communities are naturally stationary; I think, on the contrary, that a perpetual stir prevails in the bosom of those societies, and that rest is unknown there; but I think that men bestir themselves within certain limits beyond which they hardly ever go. They are forever varying, altering, and restoring secondary matters; but they carefully abstain from touching what is fundamental. They love change, but they dread revolutions. Although the Americans are constantly modifying or abrogating some of their laws, they by no means display revolutionary passions. It may be easily seen, from the promptitude with which they check and calm themselves when public excitement begins to grow alarming, and at the very moment when passions seem most roused, that they dread a revolution as the worst of misfortunes, and that every one of them is inwardly resolved to make great sacrifices to avoid such a catastrophe. In no country in the world is the love of property more active and more anxious than in the United States; nowhere does the majority display less inclination for those principles which threaten to alter, in whatever manner, the laws of property.

It's a necessary part of Finklethink. Conservatives are so weak and worthless that the media needs to make them seem scarier to justify the constant terrorism that it inflicts upon Liberals. This was, primarily, Donald Trump's role: to act as a (completely controlled) antagonist to the people with The Right Opinions. Covid is the natural evolution of this, as it's a way to keep Liberals terrorized without actually requiring propping up an actual enemy.

To demonstrate: >>19696426 points out that Trump wasn't Hitler. >>19696432 then gets upset, because if Trump WASN'T Hitler, then that means his anti-Trump views are, in fact, foolish.

most people don't either. It's fascinating to realize that in the early 2000's the Hand Chad affair caused basically the same amount of butthurt as Trump did, but it's totally forgotten about. If you watch TV shows from that era it's almost impossible to avoid references to it, from things diverse as Futurama to How I Met Your Mother. The left couldn't help themselves talking about it back then. But of course we've just moved on to the next "catastrophe", and I'm sure in 10 years when we have a new R president that Trump=Hitler will also totally be forgotten.

A) Jewish Finance will declare the Democrats sabotage themselves in order to let the Republicans rebuild under a new auspice. Probably some kind of "Multi-cultural Christian Working Class" arrangement. Rs get Brownoids and trannies, Ds get Jews, Whites, and gays. Socialism becomes an R thing, Free Markets (probably under "Neo-Liberalism") become a D thing. Remember, this has happened twice before within the Rs and Ds.

B) Rs officially die and a new party is introduced, which is really just A with a different name.

C) Jewish Finance just props up some Caesar figure so that they can slowly transition back to Europe and out of America. When America has been fully looted, Jerusalem will become the world's financial and technological capital.

I agree. However, I don't think religion is coming back any time soon, not at least with the current ubiquitous and rampant consumerist and materialist ethos that has engulfed the West (and most of the world). Only a major global devastating event can bring people back to their local spiritual and religious roots, because right now the majority is simply having it too good to even consider starting to live by the most basic moral principles.

Keep in mind that most Pakistani Muslims arrived in the UK in the 90s under Blair and Jack Straw. That’s only 30 years - far less than a single generation - in which Muslims have managed to migrate here and establish complex networks of sex trafficking in (as quoted by the Telford prosecutor) “every town and city in the country”.

By coincidence, being left-wing used to mean you hated bankers, wanted the government to stay the fuck out of your affairs, and thought the media was occupied by ZOG. Now being left-wing means you love pharma and the intelligentsia, support government intervention in favor of "the oppressed", and think media (except Fox) has a fair assessment of the issues. So, yes, 4chan used to seem "left-wing" to people who treat politics like it's a sport and not fundamental component of human social activity.

I was following what we were called to do."[41] An ABC News investigation found that of about two hundred accused individuals facing federal charges, at least fifteen of them have made statements claiming that they had acted based on Trump's encouragement.

Not him, but you simply don't understand why people did, young and old. Regardless of whether if the love is genuine or for pragmatism. I can' account for every person but the social consequences of such actions at the capital are worth worrying about for some people because Trump would have never been president say-- 10 years ago? call it regressive progress.

I believe Trump's Derangement Syndrome will come to pass if Trump doesn’t run at all or people wise up, but it’s about getting that social Populism to disdain Congress, so Derangement is Good. Election fraud is great because it could open people's biases over the fact that they wish to win, no matter what. A good mindset! You didn’t see Republicans crying about possible fraud when Republicans were winning during the midterms? And I'm sure people remember the 'whole Russia sole the election' bit too, We should dig DEEP into the shallow talking points of Democracy, the equivalent of MA DICK for the status quo, and take in that populist sphere potential away from people like Trump if it comes to that. It means less compromise.

And they aren't proof Democrats supported rioting or "BLM rioting" you stupid faggot. Biden explicitly condemned the rioting, and the American Rescue Plan expanded money to police departments. Trump did not condemn the rioting on 6th - he caused it. And you enable it.

But they did it by supporting the false protestor-rioter dichotomy. Protestors and rioters in this case are intimately related and provide necessary support for the advancement of their common cause, so supporting protesters is just a roundabout way to support the rioters, but more importantly, stating that there is a distinction between protestors and rioters in these situations is just a way to support rioters.

The word terrorism is nothing more than an empty term used to justify the use of state violence against your perceived enemies. You will never find someone who uses the term in a consistent and meaningful manner because every person will claime that some sort of non-state political violence (which is the definition hacks like you are typically working with, and which would necessarily include ALL, like the ones seen in the summer of 2020, politically motivated rioting), so when they see such violence that they agree with, they will always make excuses and find exceptions to claim that this these acts of violence aren't actually acts of terrorism (e.g., this group is oppressed; therefore their grievances are legitimate; therefore, the rioting their performing to intimidate the political system and general population is not an act of terrorism.) We see this constantly.
No one is against terrorism when it comes down to it. I'm against "terrorism" because I understand that the term is empty and only has malicious uses. And before you start accusing me of shifting positions because they are white, I came to this conclusion after Bataclan because that was the first attack of that sort in my adult life, and therefore, it was the first time that I started thinking critically about a term that was omnipresent in my youth. The people involved in what happened at the capitol did commit crimes and should be punished appropriately, but all the hand wringing about "muh terrorism" is such hollow bullshit.
>>19703807
>You are committing treason
Before you ever use this term again, condemn anarchists and anarchism as treasonous actors and a treasonous ideology and condemn all anarchist political organization as an act of treason. If you cannot do that, then it's the clear that the term doesn't mean enough to you to adequately use it, that it is an empty buzzword used to make people to appeal to a patriotism you do not share and do not understand. How can you seriously use the term "treason" seriously without being able to take the small step of condemning groups of people and a political ideology whose primary goal is the destruction of the nation and condemning the large scale acts of violence they coordinated and took part over the summer of 2020 as such?

Anarchists are terrorists, and both of you are terrorists. In fact, an anarchist was convicted for participating in the coup attempt on 1/6. Do I care that he was put in jail and given a harsh sentence. No. Because he deserved it, and much more, - just like everyone who was involved. You and the anarchists share the same, degenerate philosophy of nihilistic terror. Don't expect me to feel sorry for you or them.

Its simply bizarre to me a dumbass like you would assume I would value the lives of anarchists when I do not. Marxist-Leninists, Anarchists, Left Communists, Maoists - all you fucking degenerates can be put to death for your treasonous actions and it would make absolutely no difference to me. You are an enemy, a threat, to my way of life, my property, my family, my country - you can die for that. I don't care what leftist degeneracy you call it.

>"The Epoch Times is a far-right[13] international multi-language newspaper and media company affiliated with the Falun Gong new religious movement.[18] The newspaper, based in New York City, is part of the Epoch Media Group, which also operates New Tang Dynasty (NTD) Television.[19] The Epoch Times has websites in 35 countries but is blocked in mainland China.[20]The Epoch Times opposes the Chinese Communist Party,[21][22] promotes far-right politicians in Europe,[3][5] and has championed President Donald Trump in the U.S.;[23] a 2019 report by NBC News showed it to be the second-largest funder of pro-Trump Facebook advertising after the Trump campaign.[19][24][25] The Epoch Media Group's news sites and YouTube channels have spread conspiracy theories such as QAnon and anti-vaccine misinformation.[12][19][26][27] In 2020, The New York Times called it a "global-scale misinformation machine".[23] The Epoch Times frequently promotes other Falun Gong affiliated groups, such as the performing arts company Shen Yun."
You're literally citing media corporations that are known shills for Republicans and Donald Trump. You stupid subhuman. You're not against the "corporate media" you idiot. You're okay with the corporate media when they support your stupid narratives, like Epoch Times and Fox News. Don't give me this shit about the DA CORPORATE MEDIA when Trump himself had Goldman Sachs lackies in his administration and Breitbart News members in his fucking cabinet you dumb ass. The "elites" are basically the people who hurt your feelings, not the people who are actually connected to corporations. Fucking Trump himself owned media corporations and was a member of a wealthy elite. But that changes because you had an epiphany that a New York Business mogul billionaire who was a democrat much of his life somehow changed into some conservative hero while committing adultery on his wife, running a scam university, being buddy/buddy with Epstein/Clinton for decades and having connections to the New York mafia? You're such a stupid faggot, no wonder you fell for his con.

Yes, because I'm not a retard like you who believes corporations are the only people who own media or produce news. Also, I'm not one of those retards, like you, who believe the "elites" are bad or should be scapegoats for your own personal failures in life. You're doing the same, stupid shit commies do - you envy the rich, and blame them for your problems instead of yourself. Its always the "EVIL RICH PEOPLE" that are the problem and not you. Because you are always right, and never wrong, and it must be some nefarious people sitting in a room plotting against you that causes you to be a low life. It isn't the the media's fault you have a criminal record, do drugs and have no success in life. No one ever harmed your life by being a billionaire or rich. Stop being a bitch and a crybaby about it and grow up. Corporations are not cynical supervillain monoliths. Humans have agency that is independent of these so called invisible bad actors you blame for your sad state in life.

The only reason you start spouting all this pseudo-psychoanalytical bullshit is because you have nothing of substance to say. The real uncomfortable facts you seem to not like are that most of the information universe we have has not been honest. If you think the news or government is authentic and honest, you are unfathomably stupid.

I've made so many points and you haven't responded to any of them, and in the process are demonstrating why the term "terrorism" is such an empty one. Are you one of these esteemed liberal intellectuals we hear so much about?
>Anarchists are terrorists, and both of you are terrorists. In fact, an anarchist was convicted for participating in the coup attempt on 1/6. Do I care that he was put in jail and given a harsh sentence. No. Because he deserved it, and much more, - just like everyone who was involved. You and the anarchists share the same, degenerate philosophy of nihilistic terror. Don't expect me to feel sorry for you or them.
I asked you to call them treasonous in the line you quoted. I know you applied the term to them further down in the post, but you response really makes me question your ability to read.
>Its simply bizarre to me a dumbass like you would assume I would value the lives of anarchists when I do not. Marxist-Leninists, Anarchists, Left Communists, Maoists - all you fucking degenerates can be put to death for your treasonous actions and it would make absolutely no difference to me. You are an enemy, a threat, to my way of life, my property, my family, my country - you can die for that. I don't care what leftist degeneracy you call it. Your seditious actions make you liable to the death penalty regardless of what flag you fly your vagrant behavior and utopian idealism in.
At least You're consistent on this, which is better than most liberals. But your refusal to call other politically motivated riots that have occurred in recent memory "terrorism", still shows that the term is ultimately an empty one.>>19703995

Again, kid, corporations are not the Lex Luther figures you make them out to be, and they do not control most of the media because most of the media isn't even corporate.

There's no point in arguing with you, except to derive your deceit for others.
No one said they believed the news media lies 100% of the time. I said the news media is owned by a handful of wealthy elites, and they control the flow of information for their own purposes. I don't think anybody linked to Breibart. You fixate on the Epoch Times when news agencies like WSJ were posted.
Do you firmly believe that I believe the news lies 100% of the time? Obviously not, because you yourself are wont to point out if I cite them. I clearly don't believe that if I'm citing news agencies. It's like thinking that KGB or Soviet news sources can't be used as evidence, because they're untrustworthy. If the Soviets admitted they were encircled at Kiev, they were probably encircled at Kiev. You are merely a deceptive individual, and
