See, this is what I dislike about the left. Not that you hate Rush Limbaugh, but that empty virtue singnalling and "rhetoric" is put as
more important that real action.
I doubt anyone is actually any better of now that Rush is dead. Are people deep in debt now with a new hope? Those whos familes are ruined
by opiods now better off? Are we freer? Richer?
None of that, yet this is the "best thing". No the best thing that
could happen would be real, meaningful change that actually had a measurable and noticeable impact on peoples lives. The left stopped caring about that, and are now just about empty virtually signalling,
and attacking those who just have a rhetoric they don't like. There
are people who during their time on Wall Street ruined thousands of peoples of lives, but that isn't as bad as just being a shock jock...

The FACT remains that you made light of, and stated that it was a GOOD THING, that a national figure passed away, based solely on your
political beliefs, and your hatred of what he stood for. That's
shameful and wrong, and that is a simple fact (with no left/right
aspect). Your hypocrisy is almost unbelieveable, but is the norm when discussing the behavior of lefties.

I wouldn't call Rush Limbaugh a "National Figure", although he
was well known.
I also feel that people are welcome to their opinions, although
mine may vary. It's a sentiment that's sorely lacking today.
In case you were curious, I used to listen to Rush Limbaugh way
back when. I thought his fiscal philosophy had merit and it
resonated with me, but was a little idealistic.
You do reap what you sow, however. When you have a segment on
your show called "AIDS Update" where you read off the names of

How about this: I apologize for making a statement of such
caliber. What I should've said, and what I meant to say, was
that I am glad the message Rush Limbaugh communicated is now
dead. It will likely come back from another mouthpiece but I can
only hope it will be less divisive. I would and will never wish
death upon anyone (except for someone who hurts my family and
loved ones).

As I said, there are far worse things going on in the world. Its
EASY to go after Rush, but it doesn't solve much, does it?
Besides, the kind of person who dislikes Rush would be the kind
of person who would let a lot of bigotry and hate slide, because
that hate is directed at 'approved' targets.
Face it, very few, if any, people are free of racism and bigotry.
Anti-racists are some of the biggest racists around, and often
White Supremacist themselves.
People that push for equality easily come to hate and action
against people. Pretty much every one for "Social Justice" has a
dark side, and can get nasty very easily. When it comes to
bigotry in the modern world, it isn't bigotry vs no bigotry, its unapproved bigory vs approved bigotry. Look how people who
preach tolerance, how quickly they will denigrate "hicks", Men,
White people, etc, etc.

They'd thrown a fit. "He was one of the greatest voices of our generation/movement/whatever, how dare you, you (fill in insult towards you for being a conservative/male/whatever here)!"
No, you really see the world from a far leftist point of view.
Fox News until recent times had a leftist and conservative host's, they still do but it's leaning more left these days.
CNN, NYT, Washington post MSNBC and many others are now just opinion and gossip, they no longer dispense NEWS.
We voted Trump in to clean the swamp out, the swamp organized and did a coup, Biden will always be an ilegitimate President.
The lies and falsehoods were from the radical (DNC) controlled left.
You believe we should help each other? NO, I believe everyone that can work should get off their lazy asses and work, I take care of my own and everyone should do the same, what you wan't is a welfare state, I'm against handouts because it leads to a socialist society that want's everything for free.
If you're so in love with socialism move to a country where you can enjoy paying for everyone to sit on their fat asses while you and your ilk pay for them to survive.
No, Rush did his utmost to dispense truth and expose government corruption. that's ok you take your orders from the (DNC) like all the sheep in your party.
Anyone cane take what others say out of context and scew the real point of what someone is really saying, in this case it's Political Bias on your part.

Here in Spain we are getting Abascal for pretty much the same reason.
Identity Politics is defined as "a tendancy for people of a particular religion, race, social background, etc., to form
exclusive political alliances, moving away from the traditional broad-based party politics." Therefore, what you are saying
that 8 years of Obama led to the radical religious right with conservatisim that has reached beyond what the Republican Part
has had since its flip in the 50s and 60s?

Ahhhh, so you "didn't mean it", and that makes everything all good
again. That's a standard leftie backpedal move.
I don't believe you.
What I am saying is that 8 years of political campaign with a heavy dose of so-called "positive" discrimination lead to Trump.
The left in general has been dividing the population in manageable minorities and telling them that all their troubles are the fault of some other big group. Then they have promised to improve their position regarding that group.
If a gypsy steals a chicken from you and you complain to police that a "gypsy motherfucker" has stolen a chicken from you, you risk a bigger backslash over racism charges than the thief does over stealing the chicken here. So when people gets burnt by stating what they think it is the truth (the thief was a gypsy, and the thief was a motherfucker) they get sore about it.
As they get sore when human resources try to recruit token minority-employees that are practically unemployable. Or they apply for a job and are told they are not getting it, because they want an employee from a minority group because those get better PR or better tax conditions.
One or two of these things would not push sojebody to go radical,. but when you start piling them up over the years, while the people who pushes them tries to make you the bad guy of their narrative, or are condescending towards you at best, can somebody NOT expect things to get ugly?

I understand the point are you are making, but could we look at it a little differently. Instead of calling the person a "gypsy motherfucker", why don' we simply say that a "gypsy stole a chicken and that motherfucker really pis me off." Changing the word order solves the problem of perceived racism and also makes us look more *hurt* by the theft.

I know I'm not the one you were replying to, but sometimes the

I *do* get pissed off at moochers who want the same things you
and I have. Since you are the first person to ask me regarding
my position, I will go into it.
I believe you, or your spouse, *must* work to get social benefits
and those benefits apply to the non-working spouse and all
children until 26 (as long as they are living at home). Why the non-working spouse? For instance, prior to COVID, my wife was a
stay at home mother while I went to the office. She'd pick up
the children, make sure the house was taken care of, and be there
whenever they needed a parent. If she went to work, there'd be
additional expenses beyond childcare such as transportation,
dining, etc. Anyway, back to my point. I believe children who
live at home should be focused on their education. If they work,
they can pay into the social benefits.
For those that don't work or choose to be unemployed;
categorically, moochers. I believe they should still be entitled
to a standard of care.
For example, they can go to county
hospital, receive emergency care, and also obtain preventative
care. If they choose to continue living unemployed, that's what
they get and only get. Just like Social Security today, you only
get what you pay into it. Not enough credits, you won't get it a
full benefit.
Yet, I believe it is necessary to help those less fortunate.
"Less fortunate", or "Less willing to work"?
I don't understand why people are unwilling to work. Mooching
off the system should be deterred.
I think the original idea
behind the ACAs individual mandate was to force people into
getting healthcare--so they wouldn't mooch off of country run
hospitals.
I still remember being in the hospital with my
daughter (she was admitted for 11 days due to bacterial
pneumonia) and an elderly lady was helicoptered in because she
got sick. When I inquired with the nursing staff, they informed
me that this is a normal occurrence for her. Come to find out,
she didn't have insurance and was mooching off the system.
Completely unacceptable. I, on the other hand, was left with
over $20,000 in out of pocket medical bills for my daughter.
If you're so in love with socialism move to a country where you can enjoy paying for everyone to sit on their fat asses while you and your ilk pay for them to survive.
I love this statement. It is ridiculously divisive.
What exactly is divisive about it? What about it isn't true? Isn't
that what socialism is? Some work, and all benefit. Everybody is
"equal". Serious question - what is not true about the statement?
I believe there should be a _standard of care_ for medical care.
Whether I have Tier-1+ insurance and you have Tier-3, we should
receive the same care and have zero out of pocket expense.
Today, My Tier-1+ insurance costs me more, covers more, and my
out of pocket expense is more while your Tier-3 insurance covers
less, costs less, and has less or no out of pocket. If you need
a hearing aid, the insurance should cover it. In my _perfect
world_, which we will call *Socialism*, my insurance and your
insurance are the same. If I lose 3% of my paycheck to
*Socialized Healthcare* and it costs me $6000/year and you lose
3% of your paycheck and it costs you $2000/year, we both are
getting the same care. To the same point, someone right out of
college making $40K/year, is only on the hook for $1200/year.
This is a hell of a lot better than forcing them to pay more for
less.
To the point of someone who is mooching, yes, we pay for their
coverage, but they won't get all the extra benefits, the hearing
aids, bariatric surgery, the chiropractic procedures, or the knee
braces, they'll get treated and that's it.
Does this make better sense now?
In my opinion, Trump is the result of more than 8 years of Identitary Politics from the left.Precisely!

Thank you. A long time ago my conscience played an evil game with me. I wished someone death and sure enough, they died. I literally said, "God damn it, why won't you just die." Two weeks later, dead. When I made the statement about Rush Limbaugh, it was made without thinking. When someone brought to light my statement, it brought back those memories. My apology was and remains sincere.

If a gypsy steals a chicken from you and you complain to police that a "gypsy motherfucker" has stolen a chicken from you, you risk a bigger backslash over racism charges than the thief does over stealing the chick here. So when people gets burnt by stating what they think it is the trut (the thief was a gypsy, and the thief was a motherfucker) they get sore about it.
I understand the point are you are making, but could we look at it a little differently. Instead of calling the person a "gypsy motherfucker", why don' we simply say that a "gypsy stole a chicken and that motherfucker really pis me off." Changing the word order solves the problem of perceived racism and also makes us look more *hurt* by the theft.
*THIS* is exactly my point:

important than the fact I haven't my chicken back***

going to say, "You fucking idiot. I can't believe you stole my

Maybe you could've asked instead." Words, they make a whole lot of difference.

I decided against block quoting parts of your response as I
wanted to say this: I believe you offer valid points that those
who choose to abuse the system shouldn't be entitled to the same
standard of care that the rest of us *should* get. There is a
problem, though, and that is how to define someone who is indeed
taking advantage of the system. My example, the lady who would
get flown in to receive care for free while I was left on the
hook for my daughter's hospitalization, makes me loathe people
who sit there, too lazy to do anything, and get free care.
Let me pause here.
The compassionate side of me wants to ensure everyone is taken
care of whether they can afford it or not. People shouldn't have
to go into debt to receive medical care and that medical care
should be part of a _standard of care_ that everyone *should* be
entitled to.
The cynical side of me sits here and wishes those who take
advantage of the generosity of others, to receive the most basic
of care and nothing more. Why? Because we can't have people
dropping dead on the streets or in shelters because they aren't
getting vaccinated or treated for medical conditions.
Yes, I hate paying increased premiums because my insurance
company feels the need to subsidize lower tier plans offered by
mass employers of unskilled laborers, but I also know that they
are at least working, trying to make a living, and should have
healthcare.
...again, my only concern for those that refuse to work not
because of disability is that we can't have them dropping dead,
infecting others, or becoming even a greater burden on society.
Unpausing.
I agree that the ACA was flawed from the start. Medicare is, for
all intents, a massive group medical plan. The savings derived
from Medicare is due to its scale. The ACA could have easily
become part of Medicare and the premiums charged would be more
in-line with reality (and affordability). Why the Democrats
chose to screw it up and not bring it inline with Medicare is
beyond me and reason.
Oh, well, I see your point and that of others. Hopefully, you
see where I'm coming from and why I find it difficult to say "no"
to people yet there's a whole part of me that is screaming "NO!!!
I'm sick of giving you handouts!!!"
The US doesn't have much a far left - other countries have far
left parties that advocate for the complete abolition of private

Yea. My Dr. called it severe "panic disorder". No govt. checks for it, but when you are in the armed services they call it "post-traummatic stress disorder and you get govt. checks and more. Think somethings wrong with "the system"?? So what's in a name? That was 35 years ago. I hope things have changed but I'll be it hasn't.Check the DSVIV and DSVV. In the IV version, PTSD was defined so broadly that people who were shouted at too loudly could be diagnosed with it (OK, a little bit of hyperbole). The new one is supposed to correct that somewhat with a seperate diagnoses reserved for "... as a result of sustained exposure to combat ..."

I don't really have the energy to comment on this one any further. I do
see your points, and am glad that you can see mine to some extent. I suspect you have a little more compassion for others than I do, perhaps
it's one of my flaws. If there was a way to provide basic/reasonable healthcare for freeloaders, I wouldn't be against that in principle, I
just dislike being FORCED to pay for them if I don't want to. Again I
want to stress that I know there is a difference between freeloaders and those who really do need help. I believe it is possible to
differentiate between the two, and that we could do that if we wanted
to. It would cost money to do, but probably much less than is being
wasted by the current system. So it would be a win-win if politicians
on both sides would just do it.

Maybe true, for some values of true, but limited.
With the demise of free speech, the invention of the term "hate speech" and the creeping inclination to believe that "speech is voilence" it's
led to MORE bigotry not less. As am exaple, I point you to my home
country where there is Affirmative Action to protect the majority from
the minority. Where appointments on the basis of race are explicitly permitted, by definition racist, and in fact encouraged. The narrative though is that you cannot be racist if you discriminate against whites. (Plenty of references out there if you want them)
The ol (classical) liberal ideals, which literally paved the way for
the rise of Western Civilisation, are now seen as "conservative" and
are bad. It amazes me that no-one (on the left) seems to grasp that the politics of identity are the politics of separation and bigotry. They
are complete anathema to the concepts on which WC (and the USA Specifically) was founded. If there is no *absolute* freedom of speech, association and movement, then you are entering the territory of the oppressor. If you want to know what facism is (note small f) then it's exactly this, one group determining the "correct" way to think, act or speak and imposing it by force on everyone else. If you are wondering
why there is a general trend towards conservatism, it's because of
this. It's the realisation that the so-called *PC Culture*, the
*Identity politics* etc is about social control, about power. If you
want to understand the election in 2016, and most of the events since, then you have to understand this. The "basket of deplorables" have had enough. Enough of being told what to think, how to behave, what they
are allowed to teach their children, where and how they are allowed to worship their gods, who they must venerate and who they must denigrate. They are tired of the mob. Not that the ID politics is WRONG intrinsically, but that they are being coerced into these things irrespective of their personal beliefs. Used to be a time when we would say things like "I completely disagree, even hate, the things you say,
but I will defend with my life your right/ability to say them." When
that became "If you say what I don't like, you will be pilloried,
doxed, fired and jailed because I don't like what you *said*" that was
the final straw for many people, and not just in the USA I assure you.
Trump might well be a venal, despicable man, but he was the first to
stand up and say exactly what he was thnking without fear of the mob. Simply that was enough. I remember that moment in the 2016 campaign
when he spoke out about *illegal immigration* nd the press attacked him for being *racist*. When his response was to double down, and point out the hypocrisy, I knew then he would win the nomination.
I despise racism of all kinds, yet I must celebrate, encourage and propagate racist acts and laws against mine! That's not just no, that's hell no. Get this straight, when the left promotes the old ideas of *equal* treatment, and fights against anything that prevents that, then they will regain the moral high ground. That's the opposite of what
they want though; they want *special* treatment for each *special*
group.
NO!

party so, even if I don't like one of our senators or my rep, unless a third-party candidate runs and sounds reasonable, I wind up voting for the incumbent R.

Not quite analogous. George was referring to how the terminology changed to become more and more accurate, to more and more reflect reality as we learned more.

Actually, from what I remember, George Carlin was trying to say they were trying to take the humanity out of the terminology, making it sound less urgent of an issue, or something to that effect.
I think part of George Carlin's point was trying to change terms to try to change reality (because people think in language).
If that's true, then George Carlin was wrong.
The three terms have some overlapping issues, but refer to different things. For example, "shell-shock" is used currently. It refers primarily to the physical effects. Things like being caught in a concussive blast and suffering TBI and various other damage from the blast wave.

I mean... Rush did a segments on his shows mocking people who died of AIDS a also continually said school shooting were faked hoaxes.
Crap, I was just using the AIDS segment as an example of what a
piece of shit he was for all of my replies here... Now I'm going to be accused of having gotten that from you, probably. ;)
I guess I could fall back on some quotes of his:
* The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies.
* They\u2019re 12 percent of the population. Who the hell cares?
* [To an African American female caller]: \u201cTake that bone out of your nose and call me back.\u201d
I could go on, but I won't.
I'm glad that someone else knew offhand about the AIDS segment, at least. Some of the shit he did on that show was so morally repugnant it was absurd. People drawn to that kind of rhetoric remind me more than anything of dogs smelling each others' shit.
There once was a time I would not vote for McConnell but the candidates the DNC and the D voters in Louisville manage to get nominated have not lately been people I could ever vote for.

George Carlin (comedian) talked about that once. He noted that we
think in language, and terms sometimes get changed over the years.
He had an example where after World War 1, there was the term "shell
shock" to describe the trauma that soldiers faced after battle.
Then the term got changed to "battle fatigue", and eventually
"post-traummatic stress disorder".
Not quite analogous. George was referring to how the terminology changed to become more and more accurate, to more and more reflect reality as we learned more.
Actually, from what I remember, George Carlin was trying to say they
were trying to take the humanity out of the terminology, making it
sound less urgent of an issue, or something to that effect.

me offsimply say that a "gypsy stole a chicken and that motherfucker really
Changing the word order solves the problem of perceived racism also

look more *hurt* by the theft.
when*THIS* is exactly my point:

fact I haven't my chicken back***
No. You should get your damn chicken back. Just don't be surprised
peopl
assume that you're a bigot because of the way your words were ordered.
But here is the thing:
If it is a "fucking kid" who steals your chicken, nobody accuses you of anything despite the fact you are (according to your logic) throwing
shit gainst kids.
If it is a doctor, or the guy from the next village, nobody accuses you
of anything.
My theory is that this is so because kids or guys from the next village don't have political or mediatic power enough to enforce their will the same way certain ethnic groups do. Which leads me to believe it is not
a race struggle at all buan old good powergrab.
Essentially, you get a wrong done against you and a large chuck of society backs the wrongdoer and paints you as a villain. Have that done three times in a row and you vote the first candidate who promises to end such thing.
More power to them. I'd thought about buying a VW camper in 1992 when I needed a car and had a job with a ton of PTO. That would have been the time to travel around the country, but predated the possibility of making money documenting it.

Thing is "gypsy" would not be considered a racial slur around here. Specially because gypsies define themselves as gypsy and have a
national gypsy day and used to have a gypsy party.
But the point stands that when somebody steals your chicken youn get
the PC crowd addressing you for complaining because you are not kind enough to the guy who stole your chicken, instead of addressing the
real problem ("Why the hell did they steal your chicken?") I suspect it
is often because the reason why your chicken was stolen has ethnical or cultural implications and they don't want to touch the subject with a 10-feet long pole, but that is another matter.
Essentially, you get a wrong done against you and a large chuck of
society backs the wrongdoer and paints you as a villain. Have that done three times in a row and you vote the first candidate who promises to

As someone who lived in the San Francisco bay area all of my life, and in San Francisco in the early 80s, I saw the government's lackadaisical response to the AIDS crisis (because it only affected "the gays"), and saw
I have friends my age who walk through the Castro district and realize that there's few people 50+ in the community because of how AIDS took its toll on a generation of gay men.
They know this because they were going to funerals several times a month for way too long.

We all have biases - why do you think you don't? I am a white man and
am contsantly working on being able to recognise my biases when it
comes to issues that affect others and many times struggle to see
things from other perpectives.
Having biases from our experiences isn't our fault. Refusing to
recognise them and learning from others when they point them out IS our fault. I get called out LOTS of times by my friends who are members of different communities. Growing this way is a process that takes effort. It's hard.
The right seems to think that the left all think they're perfect - when really, they call themselves out all the time. So called "cancel
culture" isn't only left->right thing.
I don't know about Canada, but in Australia there is definately this idea that Americans are gun-crazy, war loving, Trump voting crazies. So that gives people an opportunity to act morally superior by promoting their virtues as being better. They think their Liberal ideas are better because they don't have school shootings.

status-quo hevily benefits them. They can gather vast amounts of power
by selling everybody cheap rubbish and then using that money to

If China doesn't have money to spend in parts of Canada that are their vacation hotspots, those areas of Canada would have serious financial issues. I think that is why.
I personally see no value in carrying on trade relations with them,
provided that you can get the goods elsewhere. They may have a monopoly on some rare earth substances, though.
The left proclaimng to accept everyone "no matter what" is not a
thing, never has been. Again, more Republican propaganda nonsense.
Wrong, why don't you stick to things you know like your Country,
It's pretty lame to have outsiders telling us what goes on where we
live!
Unfortunately I find one reason why outsiders may be deeply interested and worried about US politics.
Unfortunately XX century and victory during the WWII established US as the global dominant in the modern world with political decisions that are impacting not only US citizen in the homeland.

yeah they are taxed up the ass, have to live in a crappy expensive apartment, they are living in poverty and for some reason they have to talk about our orange man who improved our economy and brought businesses back and with whom we had the lowest unemployment rate ever.
they were ordered to stay home and given enough money just so they dont die and then it has taxes taken out. fuck that. canadians are second class citizens in their own countries. that's no way to live. they keep them complacent with their welfare system and drug culture.
it's a shame that so many good people have to go through this.
What I keep seeing now, is the left is eating it's self figurativly.
the internal fighting going on in the DNC is getting worse.
And all the leftist's that fell for the Biden Harris crap hook line
and sinker.
they are saying that biden is going to bed super early and some days he puts a 'lid' on the white house. meaning all meetings and goings on are canceled for the day. harris is fielding calls with foreign leaders on her own.
they are saying biden turns in around 7pm when trump would get 3-4 hrs of sleep.
trump would be up at 5:30am and making calls around 6am, biden has a coffee with the wife later on in the day and then has a bunch of meetings.
trump would take a 3 hr break where he would watch the news, but then he'd be up much later making phone calls and watching news late into the night.

of Western culture. It's an argument that has merit.
It's the leftist policies trying to push us into a "one world
government" look at the Euorpian Union that has failed miserably.
It dosent work even on a small scale, and there should be NO reason
other countries should follow what we do here in America.
We should stop all trade with Communist Socialist countries and take
care of US and let them take care of them.

started showing a position 'me first, then perhaps you and we don't care about the

Yes it really is, It's only getting worse here on a Daily basis, a $60 a month supply of insulin under Joe Biden shot up to $700.
Our gas prices here over night shot up another 20 cents per gallon.
I read that Joe Biden in his first month in office had 100,000 Covid deaths.
There is a federal Gvnmt incentive for reported covid-19 deaths, My guess is many people would have died because of age and health soon any way.
and I've heard stories of Heart attack deaths, Strokes and other types of death's being passed off as Covid so they could get the insentives.
Some Scientist's beleive we should have just let it go through communities like we do the flu to get to heard immunity.

Yes it really is, It's only getting worse here on a Daily basis, a $60 a month supply of insulin under Joe Biden shot up to $700.
The increase in insulin prices has been going on for most of this decade, even before Trump. Iowa's Grassley has been yelling about this since before Biden took office.
Big brain time here -- maybe, juuuust maybe, it has to do with price and demand for fuel catching up to the supply issues caused by the catastrophic cold, ice, and snow that huge parts of the south and Texas are still recovering from?
I read that Joe Biden in his first month in office had 100,000 Covid deaths.
Cool... because Biden is a genie who can snap his fingers and immediately alter the tragectory that the GOP/Trump put us on in 2020, right?
Attempting to blame Biden for CV19 deaths within his first month of office is low energy and low intelligence.
If you really, honestly, believe that these are valid criticisms and failures of Biden during his first month or so in office then you have your head so far up Fox News ass that it's probably not recoverable.

Since then it's only worse as by general view only French and German interests are represented in the union. UK had already quit the game

I'm curious how this develops, but I have personally mixed feelings
that EU can survive next 20 years. In this formula it will simply break being verregulated.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. China is already trying to maneuvre itself in opposition to the USA and to Australia. They have ramped up their rhetoric against Australia and are attacking us economically.

It will depend on how far China want to press, and how much we are willing to bend.

Canada also has a tough go with China since we are holding one of their citizens on charges brought by the US. There is a trial now that will likely end in that citizen being extradited to the US so in spite China has arrested two Canadian citizens in China.
This is the kind of backwards nation China is but it is not a trade

He put a pause on all executive orders until March 22, which is accepted practice of incoming administrations to make sure the previous administration's executive orders are aligned with the new administration's direction.

Not sure if I know how to answer before you elaborate a bit more how do you define Western culture in the context of not seeing EU/UK being
one.
Modern Western civilisation has been characterised by a move towards reason, freedom, liberty, self-ownership, a move away from rule by authority to contractual relations. It is characterised by Liberalism, tolerance of opinion and free and open discussion.
We see in the UK for example, more and more state action which limits speech, which penalises speech, more control, coercion and more
government oversight. Free speech is valued less and less, as is
reason.
Europe has always lagged with regards to freedom. European nations
have chosen fascism, something that Americans have never done.
I note that many of these problems exist in the USA, but the USA is divided. There exists elements in the USA which still oppose the
emerging authoritarinism. Europeans however I think are less likely to
do so.
The USA really has been the only nation which truly valued freedom,
where there has been a DESIRE for freedom.
When Greece ran into problems, mostly of their own doing, a non-EU
Greece could have devalued their currency and attracted exports and tourism. When tied to the Euro, they have no choice but to look to
member countries.
With the sociogical/cultural differences and you get the friction that happened between Greece and the other member countries (especially Germany, who "forgot" the whole issue of Greece forgiving a huge amount
of German debt after WWII)
It's like my college roommate, who left for the summer and expected me
to carry his part of the rent, then lectured me about money management when I accidentally bounced a check to him.

Well I find liberalism at huge crisis in the Western world for a while. UK, US as nominal examples of Western culture. My own Poland, Hungary
as recently acquired western affiliates from Central/eastern flank, to
add their own cents to the story.
Then think about countries like France who champion freedom by DNA,
being hit by terrorism and counter terrorism acts just because freedom isn't undestood the same way as it used to.
Certainly freedom to speak and reason beyond borders set up front is something that is heavily tested across both continents (US, EU). I
miss the world we did not need to even talk about it and have things
for granted.
But aside of small disputes, even those I have here.. I trust in freedom-driven rebelious natures of both individuals and nations per
se.
That's what also keeps me here. Aside of some stupid, arrogant comments I'm driving or receiving. I respect the right to have a unique feeling
and perception among anybody I disagree with or more often, I simply
don't understand.
We see in the UK for example, more and more state action which limits speech, which penalises speech, more control, coercion and more
government oversight. Free speech is valued less and less, as is
reason.
UK is tricky to me today. From one side I think leaving EU is a
mistake, from the other I think I envy the courage. I deal with my UK partners business wise on a daily basis.. some things are like I
respect your uniqueness.. some are like.. just few months ago it was so easy... now you're fucked... I trully believe it's just temporary and
we all be just fine. but limiting freedom to speak is something I
haven't spotted.
Among my UK friends both native and international people are pissed
being locked down wiht various level of understanding. there are people who still don't accept brexit.. and there are people who just crack on it... life/business as usual beside all that.. never talked about the impression that you can't express what you really mean (unless I take usual british indirectness for something unusual)
Europe has always lagged with regards to freedom. European nations
have chosen fascism, something that Americans have never done.
I'd not say so.. there are some pioneers of freedom... it just did not connect with fighting for freedom so bravely, thus different outcomes.
But I'd never say French are not brave to fight for freedom and understanding freedom wrongly..
I also appreciate Viking times old understanding of freedom in Nordics, which may be hard to get for people who understand they trust in gov
and system to go into social support beyond even Democrats-driven imagination in US-standards...
in my own country - poland - we value freedom more than most of the things.. we just fight for it mostly in a stupid way... occasionally we just help to collapse communism -- accidentally :>
I don't see lack of feeling the freedom in EU.. but EU as instituation
is something that I'd call freedom last. All I see when I observe
Brussels is amateur and naive approach to create a federation against
any player who is part of the trade union and that's fucking it.
I note that many of these problems exist in the USA, but the USA is divided. There exists elements in the USA which still oppose the
emerging authoritarinism. Europeans however I think are less likely to
do so.
I'm not sure how much I want to comment US after 'you're fucking alien,
go fuck yourself with your opinion' approach.. but yes.. USA encounters
a very interesting shift in both policing and social movements. indeed.
The USA really has been the only nation which truly valued freedom,
where there has been a DESIRE for freedom.
One of the few untouched US values I see as foreign commenter is the _rebelious_ nature of valueing freedom. Although sometimes it sounds
like 70+ years old Iggy Pop singing 'I'm a punk rocker, yes I'm' with
what many Americans call 'a Sleepy Joe' style of singing about
rebelion.
I still remember how to punk rock the 'I fucking rip you off' way to
take this sleepy jumps as rebelion what so ever..
Even attacking Capitol looked like staged, pretty lame effort to make a statement.
But I'm sorry. I miss American spirit that could teach IRA how to do domestic terrorism. That I could call a freedom.
Now it's just bunch of retired downs in youngster skins, who just try
hard but can't run. Pretty laughable... 80+ y/o Clint Eastwood could
take down half of those clowns before they finished supporting that act
of rebelion.

I value freedom, but I'm not keen on Liberalism.
True, USEFUL freedom
needs restraint, barriers, restriction.
Look at young millenials, who
are so, so free to express their identity however they want, work
wherever they want, work how they want, yet struggle to get life
started, mired in debt, gig-economy jobs, high housing costs etc.
Liberalism cannot deal with crisis, because it is a "sunny weather" ideology. A liberal society faced with a problem can only hope the
"free market" somehow solves it, which it doesn't.
Certainly freedom to speak and reason beyond borders set up front is something that is heavily tested across both continents (US, EU). I
miss the world we did not need to even talk about it and have things

I respect anyone that tries to engage in honest debate. There are
people here who I think have wrong views, but they at least debate in
good faith.
I've spoken to a friend in the UK, and that is his impression too. Australians don't seem as worried about lockdowns.
There definately are Europeans who value freedom, but I find that in Europe, in particular Western Europe, there is more of an acceptence of rule by intellectuals or the elite. Well there WAS. That may be
changing now, and may now not be true.
I note that many of these problems exist in the USA, but the USA is divided. There exists elements in the USA which still oppose the
emerging authoritarinism. Europeans however I think are less likely to

where there has been a DESIRE for freedom.
Rebellion is a critical element of a free society. Rebellion is what overthrows tyranny and authoritarianism. Freedom is the grandma on her porch with her gun, defending her home against state seizure, and a scepticism of your rulers. The USA is unique in the sense that the founding father actually intended for the people to be able to oppose
the government to a degree. They recognised that people had a right, a duty, to overthrow a bad government. In monarchical societies, the
ruling family never said "If we go bad, we deserve to be kicked out". Emperors don't say that. In Europe, people were often SUBJECTS,
whereas the US tradition is that the nation IS the people, and they are not subjects.

I'd rather say guidance, but I think I get your point.
I blame the Internet not unrestrained freedom of expression alone.
If you keep freedom unrestrained and allow information to pass through
and influence at speed of light not years, decades or generations.. you get chaos as the net product of the untackled dynamism and lack of
proper change management as I call it at work.
Hippie generation back in 60ties envies for uncontrolled freedom and it changes the pop culture, not mainstream tradition. If these people had internet back then as fucked up as we do have today... you'd have lsd junky gays full of color, preaching spaghetti gods, speaking nonsense
in mixed set of languages you can't recall yours anymore... which is
what we commonly call schisophrenia by medical terms...
Our kids generations all are bi-bolar due to overload of info they are
hit by and can't process properly, not even speaking of adaptation.
Too much liberalism in economic "uncontrol" is always a good recipe for
a crisis if I add this context to the talk. I love the idea of the free market and I had a moments of belief that this can be self-controlling mechanism.. but not if there the stash of capital available to
individual parties contributting to the system is so much unbalanced
over time.
Certainly freedom to speak and reason beyond borders set up front is something that is heavily tested across both continents (US, EU). I
miss the world we did not need to even talk about it and have things
for granted.
I like borders but I equally like clear and safe paths to cross them in
a way. I have no problem with visas.. I have no problem with protecting your own people first.. at the same time I see that richer the country
is, easier it is to import aliens to do the dirty job. When you accept
it, you also can't blame the alien that they come to you with an
ambition to leave the low-job, kind of legal slavery prison and do better.. that was their dream when they came in.
How can you incorporate them into your culture, embrace them.. learn
from them.. be inclusive and respectful is something of a challenge to many.
That is fair enough to continue. I believe that conversation is not
about fighting with words to change the mind of the other contributors
who joined it. It's about enriching all sides who contribute in a way that's often unique to each of them.
In Poland I see people rebeling against it more often. Or trying to
have life as usual as much as possible.
It's been always like that, aristocratic/elitarian Europe hasn't
changed much since colonial times or imperialistic moments of the XIX century. XX and WWII changed many things but some old traditions are bouncing back unfortunately.
In this context I divide Europeans with their opinions about US into
two roups:
- those who never experienced US and Americans and American culture and have an opion
- those who experienced US, its people and culture and have an opinion.
You may hear a variety of different opinions from these people.
Still there is a lot of policing around there, isn't it?
Poland lost independence by the end of XVIII century to regain it in
XX, because it valued freedom just too much for its time and wasn't prepared to defend it.

I find the objective, although it's naive by nature. I find these
people trying to fuck the establishment as much as they can with their pocket money.
We should stop all trade with Communist Socialist countries and take
care of US and let them take care of them.
Why should we send money to countries that hate us?? Charity should

Yes it really is, It's only getting worse here on a Daily basis, a $60
a month supply of insulin under Joe Biden shot up to $700.
The increase in insulin prices has been going on for most of this decade, even before Trump. Iowa's Grassley has been yelling about this since before Biden took office.
Republican's are all about privatizing and profiting, the idea that it's somehow Biden's fault, or Democrat plot to spike the cost of prescriptions and healthcare is idiotic, it's the exact opposite of their goal.
There is a federal Gvnmt incentive for reported covid-19 deaths, My
guess is many people would have died because of age and health soon
any way. and I've heard stories of Heart attack deaths, Strokes and
other types of death's being passed off as Covid so they could get the
insentives.
You're trying to imply that the government is paying for reporting CV19 deaths... Who are they paying? Why? It makes zero sense at all.
Some Scientist's beleive we should have just let it go through
communities like we do the flu to get to heard immunity.
Maybe less people would have died?
What scientists?
they are saying that biden is going to bed super early and some
days he puts a 'lid' on the white house. meaning all meetings and
goings on are canceled for the day. harris is fielding calls with
foreign leaders on her own.
they are saying biden turns in around 7pm when trump would get 3-4
hrs of sleep.
That's why he's sleepy Joe Biden :)
look at the recent video of the press asking him about the border wall.
"what did you learn?"
"a lot"
dude could barely function and his eyes were closed up again.
he just had to get out of there.
Yes it really is, It's only getting worse here on a Daily basis, a
$60 a month supply of insulin under Joe Biden shot up to $700.
Insulin has been increasing in price for some time -- the House Committee on Energy and Commerce held a hearing called "Priced out of a Lifesaving Drug: Getting Answers on the Rising cost of Insulin".
On April 10, 2019.
I read that Joe Biden in his first month in office had 100,000 Covid
deaths. I hope in two years Republicans can get a better footing in
the Senate and Take back the house.
Yet another case of Republicans making a mess of things and blaming the Democrats for cleaning it up.

Without a doubt the media is biased but I believe you need to take a more open and pragmatic approach to it. You can't make
the statement that "all news is bad" when the factual reporting of news is unbiases. It's when you turn on the Fox, CNN, or
MSNBC talking heads do you start to question the veracity of the news.
I value freedom, but I'm not keen on Liberalism.
It's the DemocRAT's fault not just Biden, Biden is just a puppet at
this point.
