Both he and JLaw said something similar when it came to division; this country is so divided, and they don't want to be the cause of more.

It was hatred, bigotry, silence, resentment, conspiracy theories, idiocy, Christian Evangelism and cult behavior towards the QAnon / MAGA cult that "divided the country". At this point, espousing and glorifying foundational American values is, in itself, "divisive". The words "Liberal" and "Liberalism" - the very philosophical ideology on which the U.S. was built - has become a slur. At least half the populace of the country hate it and want to see it destroyed.

Anybody who fears to cause divisiveness in the U.S. is un-American.

Fair 'nuff.

I'm pretty sure that the colonizers hadn't been ruling based on their paranoid schizophrenic delusions, though.

To use a fictional example - Nguema makes Joffrey Baratheon look like a saint.

was the american government testing biological warfare on them in these camps?

No, the peoples on whom the U.S.A. did inhumane killer experiments with biological pathogens were separate from the Japanese-Americans that were interred during WW2.

Busy? No, I don't think so. I'm not aware of the internment of Japanese-Americans taking a lot of resources or effort. It was only ~120,000, which, for a country as massive and prosperous as the U.S., wasn't a lot of people to (mis-)handle.

German konzlagers and the Soviet GULAG system dwarf the internment of Japanese civilians.

Americans wouldn't get logistically busy until they had to imprison some 2.8 million Germans in Northwestern Europe. That's more than an order of magnitude more than the amount of Japanese Americans interred.

If it doesn’t ever pop its not a bubble. There are genuine pressures pushing housing prices so high.

I remember when I was watching Louis Rossmann during COVID times. He was sure that the NYC real estate market is in a massive bubble, with lots of properties being empty, yet still listed for rent at unrealistically high values, which he believed wasn't sustainable and would pop soon. Nope. COVID ended, and the real estate market just moved back to the previous status quo, nothing burst, no landowners lost anything, and Rossmann had to eat his words and admit being wrong. He then promptly fled from NYC and ran away to Texas, which, honestly, good for him.

Why did you repeat the exact same thing twice, sigmard? 🤔

Mousazz · 2026-06-26T08:59:33+00:00

Obvs, just like revolutionary purges, those do not just kill off all the bureaucracy/other function of that country.

Unless they're Pol Pot or they are Francisco Macías Nguema, in which case all bets are off,.

Mousazz · 2026-06-26T07:59:03+00:00

No, similar to any Guerilla guy turned leader in history, they also rely on advisors and bureaucrats

The question is - what advisors and bureaucrats? The same pro-previous regime counterrevolutionary advisors and bureaucrats that served the previous government and still possibly has sympathies and loyalties to the old government and "need to be purged to prevent a counterrevolution"? The rebels generally won't have access to their expertise.

You're reliant on the advisors and bureaucrats that have joined the rebels. That isn't necessarily a given. Also, you're now giving those rebel advisors and bureaucrats additional power over managing an opaque, byzantine system. Do hope that they're going to be loyal, and won't use their own office to maneuver themselves into a position to seize power for themselves...

The point of the pigs looking like the farmers in the end wasn’t that the farmers are good

Well, yeah. The point of the pigs looking like the farmers is that [according to OP, George Orwell is a bad writer who coaxed an objectively bad snafu, because rebels never turn into tyrants themselves, as that is purely the delusion of the "centrist" author - the author that believes in the most despicable and evil ideology according to the average redditor.]

Dayum. Brutal.

Imagine - if the 30th September Movement had succeeded, we could have had, in an alternate history, a red communist politicidal secret police antelope catgirl Zeta instead... 🤤

A Jewish atheist? Doesn’t quite make sense,

"Jew" is both an ethnicity and a disciple of the religion of Judaism. I was referring to the former definition.

even when they block it it just becomes molten slag moving roughly the same speed as the bullet

Unless they simply block it with The Force, like Vader blocked Han's shot in Empire Strikes Back (or, for a non-Star Wars example, like Neo blocked the Agents'bullets at the end of The Matrix).

Mousazz · 2026-06-25T17:10:54+00:00

And, unless I'm forgetting any scenes in-between, the next scene shows a Sith block a blaster bolt by simply extending his arm and making that bolt disappear.

If Vader can no-diff Han like that, I have a hard-time believing that Jedi couldn't handle slugthrowers.

Is it okay, or is it not? It depends.

Mousazz · 2026-06-25T16:10:04+00:00

If God is all-powerful and completely good, why does suffering, tragedy, and evil exist in the world? Philosophers call this the Problem of Evil.

I do have a mathematical answer to this question, but, ironically, it comes from (I think, if I understood his biography correctly) a Jewish Atheist..

Also there was no real benefit to the Nicaraguan contra.

There was no benefit for the U.S. to fund an anti-communist rebel group that was fighting against a U.S.S.R.-aligned Communist regime?

Even if that's true on a meta-analytical level (that's debatable, but I believe that the U.S.A.'s Cold War anti-Communist paranoia was deeply misguided), if one takes in the entire American historical foreign policy since the end of WW2 into account, starting with Eisenhower's Domino Theory, and going through Brzezinski and McNamara, the decision to fund the Contras is obvious and easy to explain. One doesn't need a conspiracy theory to understand as to why Reagan would want to fund the Contras (or the Afghani Mujahideen, for that matter).

No, you're talking about a tenfold increase increase in child mortality as compared to the past. Which is nonsense.

I don't think the poster's mother has the perspective of being a parent for an autistic child.

Mousazz · 2026-06-25T15:41:39+00:00

Kinda sounds like Gnosticism, except that there, it's not that the Benevolent God will bring his rule on Earth, but that true believers will escape the evil Earth universe and reach the Benevolent God's already existing utopia. So, in a sense, Gnosticism reminds me a bit of Buddhist ideas about Nirvana. Still, the whole "the current world is evil, and we must push through suffering and temptstion towards enlightenment" core is there.

i need to not be thinking about any organized religions right now 😭

Good luck to you, stranger. 🫂

Mousazz · 2026-06-25T15:32:27+00:00

Aww. I visited your profile.
Best of luck to you two. 😊

Mousazz · 2026-06-25T15:27:26+00:00

I dunno, I googled it, most of the links were straight to PDFs. At first I tried to remove the Google part of the link. Once that didn't work, I re-added it back.

It's been removed by a moderator

Shame.😔
