Well leave or never come to America and enjoy your superior living in places like Russia, China, North Korea, the Sudan and the other areas of the Earth were there are no 1st amendment rights but a right to have your hide on a skewer. Deal with the reality of it all as this is not the first time Democracy has come under attack and like before, the masses have risen to the occasion to destroy the influences of internal and external hell bound threats. America is the best places on Earth your petulant hide can image being when it comes to the term freedom by law.

You have absolutely no clue what's happening around you, do you?

Better to look at trends, not absolute declarations. Both stupidity and mental illness can be factors, including a combination of the two.

My point is that a person can be both intelligent and also delusional meaning not all Trump supporters** are stupid. They're simply mentally ill.

If you like, PM me a list of JPP members and rank them by your impressions of IQ and sanity. While the list might have many similarities but I bet you'll find that some are both at least average intelligence or better but complete wackadoodles. Or post them here. Your choice. :)


**Supporters, not voters.

I don’t buy it.

The vast majority of mentally ill I've met aren't too enthralled with politics.

To tell you the truth.

Politics might make people more mentally ill.

I mean normal individuals.

Possibly so. I’ve not been around enough mentally ill people to make that conclusion.

Yes, he is.

There are two ways to get ahead in the world; be better than most or bash everyone down until they are beneath you. Witold favors the bashing because he's more like Mongo than Maslow.

I'm not here to bash people.

That seems more like your forte.

I'd much rather have a good discussion here.

I just happen to be more of a Collectivist.

I'm not demeaning other races to feel better.

I'm a Collectivist central planner.

I don't think you build a better society with 3rd World peoples in it.

Balkanization is all around a good way to destroy a nation. Kind of the USA as we speak.

Again, you can cite the link but you can't understand it. Maslow wasn't talking politics as you claimed and he wasn't talking about "Individualism". He was talking about people maximizing their potential, something you, AHZ and Legion seem to have given up on achieving.

Right,and you're doing amazing on self acualization?

I wonder where Trolling, and supporting Israel & Wars comes into play!?

So, when you bash Polaks as dumb, are you being a " mongo"?

I honestly think you do so because you're very vindictive & spiteful.

You seem to think 1 half Polish guy somehow warrants prejudices for being prejudiced.

Well, if you can be prejudiced for 1 user who's half Polish.

Why can't I be prejudiced for my 100s of reasons I have against Blacks. Jews & Western Europeans?

By the way you are what we call a hypocrite for claiming to be against prejudices while at the same time engaging in prejudices.
 
Dutch Uncle said:
You should try reading the entire link instead of cherry-picking from it. It's interesting.

Notice it's about self-actualization, not politics as you keep trying to make it.

“self-actualizing people have an unusual ability to detect the spurious, the fake, and the dishonest in personality, and in general to judge people correctly and efficiently” (Maslow, 1970).

Maslow suggests that this efficiency to detect falsehoods extended to many other areas of life, including, art, music, scientific matters and even politics. Self-actualizing people could spot inconsistencies or concealed realities more far more easily than the average person. "

Notice that he's trying to say self-actualized people are not blinded by racism, politics or anything that isn't rooted in reality and honesty.

Do you honestly think you're non- prejudiced?

I've seen you bash Poles as dumb. Russians as poor, East Euros as trash, Irish & Italians as criminals, Palestinians as terrorists & Koreans& Filipinos as trannys for lacking sexual dimorphism.
 
What holds the US together, as far as I can see, is that it has replaced the UK as the centre of world capitalism and can afford to pay its citizens a bit above the world odds while they do more or less what they are told. It was the same here until about 1910.

Balkanizaton is the main issue, right?

Name one Balkanization success story?

People like to claim Medieval Sicily having Greeks, Italians , Arab Muslims & Sephardic Jews.

One big problem, they all became assimilated to Italian at their extinction.

Early on in this comment I challenged Dutch to name a Balkanization success story.

He refused.

Maybe because Balkanization doesn't work?

An awful lot of genocides & wars have occurred in Balkanized countries.

Rwanda genocide, Rohingya genocide, Darfur genocide, the millions of Muslim Uighurs in camps in China,the massacres of Yugoslavia during the wars in the 1990s.

The Israeli vs Palestinian conflict.

The Shiite vs Sunni struggle in Syria & Iraq.

The war in Donbass.

The Pogroms against Jews.

The massacres in Ireland of Catholic IRA & Protestant UDA.

The 30 year war started as a major struggle between Lutherans & Catholics.

Even WW1 & WW2 maybe.

Gavrillo Princep was a Serb living in Austria- Hungary when he assassinated Austrian Grsnz Ferdinand.

Hitler wanted to invade Poland to get back the Germans living there.

There were Jews living in Germany.
 
Hitler was definitely a Imperialist.

But, some genocides& massacres in WW2 did occur due Balkanization.

Like the Ukrainians who butchered their Polish neighbors in Wolyn & Eastern Gacilia.

Like Croats who butchered their Serb neighbors in Jasenovac.

Like Lithuanians who butchered their Polish & Jewish neighbors in the Ponary Massacre.

Or the Jews who massacred Poles at Brostonica Mala & Skidel & Poles who massacred Jews at Jedwabne.
