Bro.

It's great to see you.

Hopefully you can keep the fed posting and amren posting few and far in between but I would love to see your thoughts on what I believe was a truly epic flame out for Donald Trump that last 3 months.

I agree.

Biggest example of this is allowing his airhead barbie daughter and neoliberal trash son in law to have incredible power and influence in his administration and campaign and what did that get him?

Inexplicably losing white voters and white male voters compared to 2016.

There' a great book by Christopher Hitchen's brother, Peter, that describes the dark slide of Britain into the atheistic secular hellhole it's become today.

Great read. And spot on.


The Abolition of Britain.

Great read. His title and the book inspired by C.S. Lewis's The Abolition of Man.

churchill allied with the communists. Communism wouldn’t exist if not for the allies. So whatever he said it was total bullshite



Some truth and untruth.

The Bolsheviks came to power decades prior to WWII. Churchill was a leading voice in Western political circles immediately condemning Bolshevism as a menace to civilization.

Churchill was also willing to deal with the Soviets as he viewed defeating Hitler's Germany as the most pressing issue for the British Empire at the time. Was he narrow minded and short sighted in this? Perhaps but his situation and that of the British Empire was extremely complex at the time. He also quickly recognized the threat the Soviets posed after the war and was an outspoken anti-Communist.

So in reality, your simplistic interpretation of Churchill's anti-Communism as "bullshite" on account that he facilitated an alliance with the Soviets in their mutual conflict with Germany is, itself, bullshite.

The one-nation Tory philosophy of Benjamin Disraeli, and the subsequent defeat of the classical liberalism of William Gladstone by the Labour Party in the early 20th century, spelled the death of Britain. The one-nation Tories were large proponents of the British empire and favored no distinction between British subjects and British citizens. The Labour Party was a socialist party whose devotion to the welfare state was self-evident. Only Gladstonians had any semblance of anti-imperialism and economic conservatism, and they were largely gone by the early 20th century.
