    The Great Reset is a real strategy for the elites to buy up all the wealth/resources and then have us all as "renters" as we move into robotics and AI. See Klaus Schwab if you want to be informed. It's not exactly a secret.

    Else just keep posting "really informational" insults to amuse yourself.

    The Great Reset is part of an UN plan for global poverty eradication by 2030.

    Something your "sovereignty of the individual" ideology will never achieve, because competitive, self-interested individuals - private sector players - don't concern themselves with poverty eradication, but with their own wealth accumulation...

    Meanwhile, your "sovereignty of the individual" ideology certainly needs further examination, for reasons outline above.

    How is demonstrating that Trump's RW Christian fundamentalist base is pro Israel and anti UN, equivalent to not caring about the facts? Certainly the technologically superior (read: biggest gun) British and then US ("Christian") occupation of Muslim lands over the past 170 years has been a cause of Islamic terrorism.

    Re "accurate threat assessments", are you contending that the actual numbers of deaths directly attributable to white supremacist crime is small, compared to Islamic fundamentalists, and that therefore there is nothing to see among white supremacists?

    But the (white) British empire did take over the world (like the Mongolian empire 500 years earlier); and the consequences are still being felt in the ME - Islamic terrorism being a current manifestation of this history as noted above.

    But I say it again - and which you will continue to ignore, because your ideology forces you to ignore it:

    "It's the economy, stupid"

    ie, white supremacy in the US today is a reaction to the perceived threat to whites, by blacks seeking economic justice in the US.

    We don't blame its victims. We all know that the clean-living, hard-working family man in the Third World, doing everything in his power to feed his family, is not in that position as a result of bad choices.

    LOL .. no it isn't. It's a control mechanism. The sheer number of us means something has to give, and so the elites decided a return to the aristocracy model would be a delicious option. Just keep expanding the underclass, so that eventually only the top few percent owns all the land and all the power. The rest of us become forced consumers of their goods and services, whether we like it or not. Powerless, trapped, helpless, dependent as infants, and forever afraid.

    Dust of your doublet and hose, good sir!

    No, it is black criminality which causes black poverty, as long as they can use the excuse of racism they won't change.

    Yes, that's pretty much what I'm saying, because that's the conclusion the facts support. The fact of the matter is, worldwide, Islamic fundamentalist terrorists have killed more victims within the last month, than white supremacist terrorists have killed over the last 40 years.

    https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/attacks/attacks.aspx?Yr=Last30

    List of Killings in
    the Name of Islam:
    Last 30 Days


    During this time period, there were 120 Islamic attacks in 16 countries, in which 602 people were killed and 359 injured.


    I'm not saying there's NOTHING to see among white supremacists, what I'm saying is that even the simplest risk analysis will lead you to the logical conclusion that there is far, far more threat and danger to see among Islamic fundamentalists.

    I'm sorry, would you rather discuss ancient history? Would that be more gratifying to you than facing the fact that Islamic terrorists are currently killing hundreds of victims each and every month right now today in the modern world, or does your ideology force you to ignore it?

    And just how significant has that "reaction" been? Put a number on it. How many black lives has white supremacist terrorism claimed in modern-day America over the last 40 years?

    Can you compare that to the number of blacks that have been killed by other blacks over the last 40 years, or does your ideology force you to ignore all that too?

    The argument is simply explained by math. If you look at the math, it’s hard to see a huge problem with white supremacy compared to issues with other ideologies. But if you use emotion anything can be labeled a huge problem. And when you combine emotion with politics you get a sledgehammer to pound down fear on a populace that is either is too ignorant to accept the facts or simply refuse to address them ideologically.

    Sure it is a "plan to eradicate poverty". LOL

    Who is making the plan for our future, the futures of billions of humans? The one percenters. The people who sucked up 99% of global wealth while poverty has become increasingly more "normal" are NOW going to turn into altruistic humanitarians (after they purchase all the remaining wealth and property) and "help" us by letting us rent everything from them.

    That seems pretty naive. I certainly hope you are correct, but I'm pretty sure that the world's top Elites are not going to change their core motivations to own and run the world to their benefit, not ours.

    A Democrat bought and paid for by the teachers' unions.

    Isn't that convenient?

    Not really when I'm on record supporting school vouchers.

    Trump is a lying false prophet.

    You really see Trump on the level of a prophet?

    Wow, you should seek professional help.

    Well, the good news is, nobody deifies the new guy. He's more pushover and puppet than prophet.

    It's universally understood that Biden's brain is a broken kazoo, and he's easily bribed. Which is why the teachers' unions send him bushels of cash.

    Yep. Murdock made a joke out of the WSJ editorial page. Anschutz' Washington Examiner is another extremist trash heap.

    Texas opening up 100%? I can't tell you how sickening Abbott is. He's killing people and making this country a laughingstock in the world.

    The solution to death is lockdown? It's so amazingly simple. Why did it take 30,000 years to figure out?

    Interestingly, China has officially eradicated absolute poverty last year. Meanwhile, India is seriously lagging behind. Any clues why?


    Note my underlined. Market intervention - or state control - in China is markedly more effective re poverty alleviation, than democratic free-enterprise in India.

    Yes, raising 7 billion people out of poverty without destroying the environment, or the planet's ecological sustainability, is a challenge but by no means impossible; certainly, individual profit-driven, private sector free enterprise ALONE cannot be the whole solution.

    Actually, after 30,000 years we have the technology to house, clothe and feed everyone....even during a TOTAL lock-down, to save lives...... The postulated trade-off between lives and the economy is false economic ideology, because the nation has the resources to keep everyone housed, fed, and clothed, even when non-essential workers must stay home during the pandemic.

    Once again ideology triumphs over reality, resulting in 500.000 deaths and counting.
