You know, I'm sorry I got so pissed at you in that other thread. I was having a bad day. You've always been one of the cool ones.
TBH, I have no idea as to the reference, so no offense taken at all, but I appreciate the compliment.

I look forward to leaving you and your ilk in the dustbin of history. Just crawl into your coffin now and get it over with. Trust me, your kind won’t be missed.

Well no need to remind you then. I'm sure it'll come to you in time, probably right before you log off or head to bed or something.

When does the planet, in its entirety, accept the fact that Communism has not ever succeeded?

Okay, let's break this down. When you say, "you and your ilk," what does that mean? Because I voted for Trump 3 times and I guarantee you're not going to win a BASED contest with me.

When did I ever say that we're all about to die or, if a nightmare situation is on the horizon, I would choose to hide and die rather than fight for my country?

Again, what is "my kind?"


Let's hear it, tough guy. Probably some fat fa**ot that has never even been in a fight, you must be to talk like that. But I'll wait, explain yourself.

You’re right, it’s my mistake. I should’ve have told a woman to calm down

In other words you don't like that your opinions might not be the dominant opinions anymore.


Let's say that the dominant opinion in the land becomes Sharia law including child marriage, homosexuals put to death, women treated like property.

I suppose you would be good with that?

I do but I’ll refrain from saying them here as we aren’t quite there yet as a nation.

I would not be good with that. Which is why I support sensible immigration policy that limits or completely prevents people majority Muslim nations from living here.

The things that you're against aren't on the level of making Sharia law legal.

The "West" you speak of, the USA, is a Republic of individual Democracies operating beneath what was supposed to be an extremely finite and limited federal government. The problems today are mostly deeply embedded systems of corruption within those democracies, funded largely by lobbies and special interest groups and combined with a federal government that has grown so expansive that roughly 23,000,000 (15% of population) people are government employees at some level or another, and the federal government regulates and funds it all in some capacity and to some extent.

It's a subject with far too many parallaxes to ever be simplified in a simple "democracy has failed" blanket statement.

It's similar to the "anti-capitalism" arguments about how capitalism has failed, when in fact the system in which we exist is largely a crony corporatocracy masquerading as capitalism.

As the founders said, Democracy only works with a moral people who want to succeed, don't try to game the system, find loopholes, etc. Basically an honor system.

Churchill said Democracy sucks but is better than other forms of government so far tried.

Franklin said a Republic will fall when the people become so corrupted that only a despotic leader can lead them.

We are closing in on that point in time - the commies finna take over and rule with an iron fist. They will take your property away and most all of your rights. A DSA chairman was on Fox today and said his plan is to take property away from rich people. Since the DSA is now officially the Democrat party, this is now the position of the Democrats too.
