And we're proving that in a nationj attempting democracy,
a huge factor of people show an unwillingness to be governed at all.
A democracy is government by popular vote. Your statement is meaningless.

I'm certain that by telling you and only you, he'll hear me.
Karl Marx was a Jew.
Heaven I would comprehend |
I would draw the world to me; |
Living, hating, I intend |
That my star shine brilliantly … |
. |
… Worlds I would destroy forever, |
Since I can create no world; |
Since my call they notice never … |
. |
Then I will be able to walk triumphantly, |
Like a god, through the ruins of their kingdom. |
Every word of mine is fire and action. |
My breast is equal to that of the Creator. |
. |
I shall build my throne high overhead |
Cold, tremendous shall its summit be. |
For its bulwark – superstitious dread |
For its marshal – blackest agony.[2] |
. |
See this sword? |
the prince of darkness |
Sold it to me |
. |
With Satan I have struck my deal, |
He chalks the signs, beats time for me |
I play the death march fast and free. |
. |
… I shall howl gigantic curses on mankind: |
Ha! Eternity! She is an eternal grief … |
Ourselves being clockwork, blindly mechanical, |
Made to be the foul-calendars of Time and Space, |
Having no purpose save to happen, to be ruined, |
So that there shall be something to ruin … |
If there is a something which devours, |
I’ll leap within it, though I bring the world to ruins- |
The world which bulks between me and the Abyss |
I will smash to pieces with my enduring curses. |
I’ll throw my arms around its harsh reality: |
Embracing me, the world will dumbly pass away, |
And then sink down to utter nothingness, |
Perished, with no existence – that would be really living! |
. |
… the leaden world holds us fast, |
And we are chained, shattered, empty, frightened, |
Eternally chained to this marble block of Being … |
and we – |
We are the apes of a cold God.[3] |

It's difficult to say. The USA was in a state of chaos. The space race, the civil rights movement, the Red Scare and so many more.

Then why did he attack it????
They still got involved!
They were headed to Moscow.
The Germans occupied France. Never part of Germany.
Not true. Germany declared war on the United States in 1941. In 1942, plans were being made to invade the United States in force. Some German combatants DID manage to come ashore in the United States in both New York and in Florida. Hitler never got any further. He was already stretched thin invading everybody else.
They invaded Greece. Hitler was trying to export fascism and his empire to the world.
They still invaded Greece. The reason is irrelevant.
Why? Greece was never part of Germany. It was never part of Italy either.
You forget the Tripartite Pact. It's purpose g to export fascism and his empire to the world.was to export fascism by dictatorship to the world.
Britain declared war on Germany along with France after Germany invaded Poland.
Italy was their nominal ally, and involvement in N. Africa to prop up the Italians was recriprocated on by Italy, reluctantly, sending an Army (their 8th) to Russia.
They were going there, to defeat the Soviet Union, not to take the whole of Russia.
Germany initially only occupied part of France. The other, roughly half, was allowed to remain as the Vichy government. The occupation of France wasn't planned as part of some eventual annexation, but rather necessary because of Britain and Free French forces continuing the war.
No, there were never any plans to actually invade the US. Germany declared war on the US mainly because of the US's involvement in the U-boat campaign that Admiral Raeder had expanded into the mid-Atlantic, something tepidly opposed by Hitler but never acted against.
Germany invaded Greece and the Balkans only because the British got involved in the Greek-Italian war. The threat to Germany was this would expand and Romania--virtually next door--would end up in the war with Germany. British presence in Greece and on Crete threatened German oil imports from Ploesti in Romania. Thus, Germany invaded and took the Balkans. That stalled their original plan to invade Russia by several months.
It is relevant. It points to motivation.
Germany didn't "invade" Italy at all during the war. In fact, until N. Africa fell, the Germans had stationed no ground troops in Italy whatsoever, only Luftwaffe units usually on a temporary basis for the most part.
No, it was a defense pact. Germany and Italy were under no obligation to help Japan if Japan started a war. The same goes the other way around. That's one reason the Japanese didn't bother to attack the Soviet Union. They had no obligation to and really didn't want to in any case.

No, I won't forward your posts to him. You'll have to post him yourself.
Thus proving you blind your own comprehension at will. Fascinating!
I have no doubt gfm175, IBda and your other "friends" heard me.
The solution? Just show him a mirror.
Hmm.. I saw that. I think on "Showtime".
It's a very good movie. A disturbing twist at the end.Hmm.. I saw that. I think on "Showtime".
While communism is a system based around a theory of economic equality and advocates for a classless society, fascism is a nationalistic, top-down system with rigid class roles that is ruled by an all-powerful dictator. Both communism and fascism originated in Europe and gained popularity in the early to mid 20th century.
Let's start with this one:
I will post more later.
All the memes mean shit.
I pretty much hate memes anyway,
my being slim in the sense of humor department.
The reality couldn't be more obvious or serious.
People whose core values barely overlap at all will never get along trying to share the same government and laws.
An America absent the red states
would have a more comprehensive public sector / social safety net
and a more regulated private sector protecting consumers and workers,
and would be a more acceptable place to live for people with highly sophisticated and civilized values.
Another America absent the blue states would allow the "civil liberties" that less educated (and educatable), more primitve people consider valuable.
We presently have an America that should never have been
were it not for the ill-advised effort to forge one nation from thirteen suddenly independent
and totally incompatible colonies in the late 18th century.
Our present constitution, written by apparent illiterates,
gives far too much political representation, relative to their numbers, to rural, conservative, and afflicted by religious superstition rubes.
Having the best, most abundant tract of real estate on the planet allowed this ill-conceived nation to hang in there for far longer that it otherwise might have.
That's over now. We're on the precipice of full blown dystopia now.
The all-consuming hatred is both palpable and totally understandable.
Just the 21st Century Democrats.
In the past they saw them like like hippy-dippy tree huggers but after the Soviet Union imploded the Republicans began transferring their "Red Scare" fears from fucking Russians to Democrats.
Since no one fears pot-smoking bleeding hearts, the Republicans had to demonize them into Socialists...which wasn't too hard given their politics. LOL
this is hard for kids to get because now dems are obviously the oligarch/corporate party.
"Gentlemen," concluded Napoleon, "I will give you the same toast as before, but in a different form. Fill your glasses to the brim. Gentlemen, here is my toast: To the prosperity of The Manor Farm!"
There was the same hearty cheering as before, and the mugs were emptied to the dregs. But as the animals outside gazed at the scene, it seemed to them that some strange thing was happening. What was it that had altered in the faces of the pigs? Clover's old dim eyes flitted from one face to another. Some of them had five chins, some had four, some had three. But what was it that seemed to be melting and changing? Then, the applause having come to an end, the company took up their cards and continued the game that had been interrupted, and the animals crept silently away.
But they had not gone twenty yards when they stopped short. An uproar of voices was coming from the farmhouse. They rushed back and looked through the window again. Yes, a violent quarrel was in progress. There were shoutings, bangings on the table, sharp suspicious glances, furious denials. The source of the trouble appeared to be that Napoleon and Mr. Pilkington had each played an ace of spades simultaneously.
Twelve voices were shouting in anger, and they were all alike. No question, now, what had happened to the faces of the pigs. The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
...just like the Republicans.
