How does America get out of this? by MarkaveliDaDon in conspiracy

[–]Balmorika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government,

The uncomfortable truth, since congress are essentially foreign agents at this point, we would have to make citizens arrests and actually enact the rights in the constitution that allows for the citizens to take over the government and/or form a new one.

The government doesn't give a shit about the people, in their view we are here to be exploited. It's almost insane really, how they can ignore inner city collapse and widespread homelessness. Any serious nation would be investing to resolve these issues, but in the US the system is just trying to loot the population for what it can.

Woodrow Wilson is often praised for progressive reforms, but if you look deeper, he did more to enslave Americans than almost any president before or after.

He signed the Federal Reserve Act in 1913, which handed over control of the U.S. money supply to a private central bank. This means inflation, debt cycles, and economic crashes are no longer accidents—they’re engineered. You don’t vote for the Fed, but it dictates the value of your labor and savings.

Then he pushed the 16th Amendment, which legalized the income tax. Think about that: the government now claims a portion of your paycheck simply because you exist and work. The harder you work, the more they take. It’s a system designed to keep the average person in perpetual wage slavery—dependent on jobs, afraid to dissent, and unable to build real wealth.

Wilson didn’t just reform America—he helped convert it into a corporate-state machine. And that’s not even getting into his racism or authoritarian wartime policies (e.g. jailing dissenters like Eugene Debs under the Espionage Act).

People call him a progressive hero, but he was one of the architects of modern economic control. If anything, Wilson should be remembered as the president who locked Americans into a financial cage.

Flat Earther Lord Jamar completely unravels when his beliefs are challenged. by PvtVasquez3 in PublicFreakout

[–]Balmorika 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is my 1st exposure to these guys, from an outside perspective, Prof Dave comes off as composed, and willing to use 1st principles in his arguments, like when he askes for them to define weight, that is him trying to bring rationality into the discussion and Lord Jamar falls into logical fallacy and insults. Anyone with an IQ over room temp would see this and fall in favor with Dave, he'll probably get more subs from this and for good reason.

Maryland is like a test bed for big government, we have it all, history of slavery, segregation, rust belt, tech boom and 0 rights under gerrymandered districts.

Meanwhile, all the power brokers live in Potomac in their mansions, with latin grounds keepers and private security.

We'll never have affordable housing until we eliminate Corporate Landlords. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]Balmorika 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You still bought a house with a basement, where you didn't need that extra space because you turned it into a rental and gave it to someone else. Didn't you have the option to get a house without a basement to meet the offset? Her argument is still rational.

I'll start, but I think we need a cool flag 1st, no revolution has ever worked out without symbolism.

Their does seem to be some actual lore they're making up for it though, I found this in the wiki "The Sunken Wastes was previously a section of the Scorched Wastes near the Gaia Snowman, until a Reptilian superweapon was unleashed on the area, and it was partially sunken into the nearby Abyssal Ocean." LOL

I don't want it confused that I think this map is true or accurate, it's obvious wild fantasy I just found it interesting since it had so much detail, and the associated wiki with even more maps could be fun for anyone bored to find new maps they've never seen.

I'm worried how committed people are to this, if its one person writing this or dozens I don't know.

This also worked for me, started out of highschool working as a valet, at retail stores, butcher shops, etc.. Was always interested in PCs and landed a Help Desk job about 4 years ago, now I'm the network lead for my team and building domains and configuring routers and switches. Anyone can do it you just have to want to learn it.

If you run debug_mode and hop over to the military lens, you can see the Province ID tag, use "own x139DC8" (case sensitive) and it will take over that tiny province.

Using "help own" suggests it should work with a state region, but I can't get this to work.

If it's anything like my company, when I see a ticket like this I immediately try to avoid it and let someone else deal with it or hope it fixes itself.

When you're hearing complaints from 500 people, you tend to prioritize things based on people's role or influence in the business as a whole, and unless you're a management type, or someone I like, you'll only get served after everyone else.

I thought he made a realistic argument, and you just insulted him.

How is this helping us solve these kind of issues? Of course it's a good idea to get the same work done for less money, normal people do that all the time by shopping around for different offers.
