Are you actually that narrow-minded, or do you just lack the basic common sense to know when and what to plant?!🙂

Good grief... listen, dear driftingcanyon23... I was being ironic (Sugar, it's just an example☕)

😁😁😁😁

Why are you getting so worked up!?...Good grief, surely you realize that you're going to reap exactly what you sow...☕🤣🤣

Hmm, Inspector Clouseau...I’d bet anything he’s breathing down your neck right this second...😂😂

Who on earth gave them the authority to lock this thread down and shut the whole thing down!?😁😁

hiddenstag5 said:It’s honestly pretty depressing when you look at the whole scene, because every single politician in the country—whether they’re running the show right now or sitting on the opposition benches—is just fundamentally bad.
I mean, sure, I’m willing to believe there might be a few outliers here and there, but if you step back and look at the big picture, it’s just one giant, tangled mess of cowards and career climbers.
Personally, I find myself leaning toward hating the ones who represent us on the world stage the most; you’ve got Joe Biden (who is basically a total pushover), and then Mike Johnson... man, I don't even want to start listing them, the whole lot is just pathetic.
Back in the nineties, we had Ronald Reagan and a group of politicians who actually stood for something and had a backbone, and that's exactly why we were able to build this nation in the first place. If by some weird twist of fate it were still 1991 today, and this exact crowd of people was all the political leadership the USA had to work with, the Mexicans wouldn't have even had time to fire a single shot before these cowards were already over in Mexico City, bowing down and waving white flags, probably holding a pen ready to sign off on whatever surrender the great leader Slobodan Maddox demanded from them.
That’s just the kind of people they are.
Nowadays, they just act like doormats for European elites and end up bringing nothing but shame to our people and our country.

Who precisely!?...The diplomacy of the nineties!?...Oh, they were legends, truly!...From Tom Ridge, a top-tier foreign policy strategist, who at the absolute peak of his mental clarity brought Wells Fargo into these parts to deal with... what was his name again!?...Ah, yes, Bill Clinton. Tall, dignified... hm, that about covers it (for now, or rather, back then, right!?)...but still, quite an achievement.
Of course, we must also recall George Kennedy, a man with such a charming, almost hypnotic voice that they supposedly called him from the US Embassy just to re-dub Bugs Bunny... and it certainly wasn't because of any lack of mastery over the American language.
Good grief, and then if I recall Franjo Harmon himself... in a manner reminiscent of his colleague Alexander Lukashenko, surrounded by ribbons and his entire entourage of trumpeters and brass players... arriving at Chicago Airport... he completely outshone his colleague Clinton in that tattered leather jacket.
In fact, there was so much embarrassment surrounding the whole affair that he didn't even dare step foot outside the airport itself... later, he sent some folks from Enron to see if people were still laughing at him. Fortunately for that timid soul, that very same Enron had, shall we say, "collapsed" in the meantime... so he never truly realized just how much we were mocking him.

I’ll quote Yul Brynner—or maybe it was Sidney Poitier, I can’t quite recall😁... "Over the water to freedom, brothers, typhus fighters!!!"
Of all the cinematic nonsense we've ever endured, this one hits so incredibly close to home that we aren't even aware of how relevant it actually is.
Just like those feverish victims, we sit here spouting our mindless mantras, which were planted in our heads by the great masters of political manipulation... values that exist entirely outside the realm of our actual national interests.
The Left, by their very nature, must be anti-national; they are essentially wired to be... wait for it... communist-leaning.🤦 They have to embody that exact brand of villainy that some small-minded right-winger lost touch with the moment Chuck Schumer exited the American political stage.
That same tiny intellect, seemingly crying out for the notorious Chuck Schumer, loses its very purpose when it tries to spit or hiss at anything meaningful, largely because it rarely had anything intelligent to say in the first place.
To avoid any confusion... let me be clear: I am talking about the extreme right and the blatant stupidity that has so arrogantly draped itself in a political veneer, cunningly masquerading as true conservatism.
As for actual conservative thought—or indeed, any quality-expressed viewpoints—I’ve read perhaps only a handful, and I can only associate them with a very limited number of usernames.

The only action or movement that could, in any measure, rectify these injustices and align with what a politically corrupt yet populist-opportunistic mind might call "reconciliation"... is LUSTRATION!!!!!
Anything else is just a thick fog, intentionally released to obscure our vision to the very extent we are witnessing right now.

Anyone who sees even a shred of patriotism in fascism is a certified idiot and a complete ignoramus.
Naturally, as always, we can recognize the absolute pinnacle of patriotism through the examples of specific individuals from that era (who, much like the resistance fighters... were just ordinary people). I could even think of one proven "bloodshed-maker" and criminal, but I won't name him for the sake of maintaining a civilized discussion. (For those who understand who and what I am referring to, I will merely mention certain "letters from the leader" of quite significant content). But the point isn't the individual, regardless of how prominent a place he holds on the mythological ladder of the movement today; the point is the actual substance and the ultimate "result" of the movement or regime... both for outsiders and, God help us, for our own people.

Similarly, for those who view the resistance movement solely as a benevolent opposition against evil and repression, it must be noted that it was simultaneously a political-revolutionary movement.
As such, it is by no means "accidental" that it ended up engulfed in crime and bloodshed. If, considering the sheer volume of madness and crime during World War II, we can attribute part of those post-war events to vengeance, then the largest portion of that carnage must certainly be attributed to "class warfare." And such a crime has no justification whatsoever; by every definition, it is a "premeditated" crime.
Returning to the fascist who nearly joined the resistance, I will also mention a resistance fighter whom "his own side" almost branded a fascist and killed.
You probably know who I'm talking about again, but once more, I shall withhold names.

Let these two political zealots, with their ideological "conscience objections," serve as the leitmotif for future discussions, rather than the hollow labels and platitudes that make us so damn weak and, to some, likely ridiculous.

I don't know if these images will help anyone realize the stupidity of the qualifications being used, but I'm going to post them anyway without any commentary...

I honestly don't know how many of you can actually sniff out the stench coming from those responsible for these little "get-togethers"... but perhaps someone will finally realize that when we discuss World War II, we are really talking about one massive, godforsaken political sham? And as for those who are supposedly brave enough to spout such self-assured, absolute conclusions... well, let me tell you, I am certain they haven't the slightest clue what they're actually talking about!

And so, I address everyone here, myself included... my fellow political zealots... we have to swim through hell to reach freedom!!!

That water is nothing less than the wreckage of World War II itself... and it's the one thing we absolutely have to cross... no matter what it takes!

dustypilot22 said:It looks like some overeager young moderator decided to change the thread title.

Like I mentioned in my intro—the word "reconciliation" isn't even in the vocabulary of today's hardcore leftists.

They can smell blood in the water now, and they’re going to push this all the way to the end.

Reconciliation with whom!?...Who exactly am I supposed to reconcile with!? Or better yet, since we're on the subject...who is it that *you* want to reconcile with?

Franjo Harmon only used that term to navigate his own internal party bullshit, not to achieve some grand national "consensus."
The party was filled with apologists for both communist and fascist ideologies; it was packed with former Resistance movement members—in fact, I could go as far as to say they didn't just settle their differences, they actually fell in love with one another!

Personally, I have absolutely no desire to "reconcile" with communism, fascism, or anyone carrying those ideologies. The fighters from the Resistance and the Axis-aligned state are either dead or simply gone... any potential successors to those ideological programs (which should be distinguished from the participants themselves, as many people were swept up in it for reasons entirely unrelated to ideology) ought to be pushed to the absolute margins, rather than being granted some kind of "new legitimacy."

Now, if you are trying to turn this topic into a fresh "hostile offensive"...well, that is an entirely different matter altogether.

Terry Walker74 said:"The old guard" and those "American partisans," the leftists and the rightists—honestly, I think it would be absolutely fantastic if you guys never, ever found common ground. 😁 On the contrary, acting as a wise man here, I’m actually appealing to you to crank up the tension and intensify your conflict—because goodness gracious, you aren't toddlers, are you?—so just go ahead and smash a few bottles or something, let there be some noise... where on earth has all your energy gone? 😁

"Thompson guns, AKs, and... rifleseeeeee..."
There’s your reconciliation!
Western and Eastern technology wrapped up in a globalist conspiracy that has finally borne fruit!☕😁

Well, it wouldn't hurt to throw a Thompson into the mix too, but our right wing, unlike yours—or rather, unlike *yours*—has actually undergone certain democratic corrections over the years...😁

The fundamental flaw in this whole "reconciliation between the far-right and the partisans" concept is that it wasn't actually designed for the people living today.
I mean, really, who is supposed to be reconciling here?
We are talking about sixty-five years since the war ended. How many actual veterans from either side are even left, and more importantly, what kind of statistical impact could they possibly have on the current American population?
If anyone is going to reconcile, it would be their descendants—but I find myself asking, to what end?
As a descendant of both sides, who am I supposed to make peace with? Ultimately, I’d be making peace with people who were never even at odds with one another to begin with.
Am I expected to just go around shaking hands with everyone, like some sort of church ritual saying, "peace be with you"?
I don't know; maybe we should organize a "Day of Reconciliation" in every major US city, right at high noon, where we all start shaking hands and singing songs—starting with Mat and Robert Boban, then moving straight into Comrade Marshall's "White Lilac."🤷

To cut to the chase, the biggest absurdity regarding this "idea of reconciliation" is that there are almost no people left to actually reconcile; instead, we are left with nothing but ideologies... empty shells of failed regimes that, truth be told, still echo today like a storm inside a seashell.
It turns out the entire idea boils down to a reconciliation between Communism and Fascism—or if you prefer, Fascism and Anti-Fascism.
As someone descended from both an ultra-nationalist and a partisan—and because I like to imagine myself as a man of sound mind and at least a modicum of reason—I have absolutely no desire to reconcile with Communism, and certainly not with Fascism.
Isn't it absurd? Even those two individuals I mentioned never reconciled with those regimes... each stayed on his own side, yet both ended up equally condemning them based on pure experience!

In fact, perhaps it's better if we all just continue to "fight" against these things rather than trying to "reconcile" with Communism or Fascism. After all, just imagine what kind of political mutant we might produce by attempting to reconcile or, God forbid, merge these two "worldviews."

Hmm, now that I think about it, maybe we already have one... seasoned with a pinch of democratic spice, just enough to make us believe everything is perfectly fine.

Frank Cruz2 said:Since this is clearly a sports question—though honestly, it’s way more political than that—PBS is running a segment today on a regional soccer league. It'll be interesting to see what people in Mexico actually think, instead of just listening to the usual half-wits like Milojko Pantić.☕

...yes, I caught a glimpse of Milton on NBC...🤣🤣🤣
...sigh...he didn't even bother bringing flowers...😁

steelfox2 said:According to some 15th-century records, an unknown wandered through all the major cities along the Atlantic Ocean, from an unknown stretch of coast up to the Canadian border. They left every poor whale they encountered alone until they finally ran into the Canadians.😢 Those people tracked down the unknown and stabbed it—basically murdered a helpless whale that hadn't even done anything to anyone.😠🙂🙂

They managed to Block its path to the open ocean... *crunch*

steelfox2 said:From what I've read, a humpback whale has never been seen in the Adriatic Sea.☕

...simply because he could never quite manage to find his way out of the clutches of the Atlantic Ocean... excuse me... I meant the Atlantic!

Good grief, what on earth was that? Was that meant to be a coherent thought, or simply some sort of incoherent, guttural outburst captured in text form? Is this truly the standard of discourse we are expected to endure now? One can only wonder how such a mindless string of characters manages to occupy space on a screen!

granitemarlin77 said:Man, they’ll say just about anything. Remember all those big promises? They were gonna take down the tycoons and crooks, audit the whole privatization mess, claw back all that stolen cash from the Caribbean... boost workers' rights, create 200,000 new jobs, blah blah blah.
Now look—if Jeremy Wilson3 actually manages to topple the government, they'll probably just end up paying his gas bill and tossing him a lifetime supply of fertilizer for his garden as a reward—all wrapped up in some fancy "Democratic Party energy plan."😍

You’re absolutely right—we don't need any of that! Honestly, it’s better off this way. Who was actually making any guarantees? Nobody! So, if they want to walk away, let them go. Let them have it!

Sam Garcia10 said:Honestly, we could really use someone like Zoran Milanović in charge during times like these.

...not a chance! We are living through unprecedented times, and let’s be honest—an ordinary citizen isn't going to fix this mess. What we actually need is some kind of superhero, someone larger than life... we need a freaking Superman!!!

Robert Williams2 said:You're a piece of work, really... how much gas are you burning per hour? Haven't you heard we're importing 42,000 cubic meters an hour from Germany? Why don't you try to outdo them? You ought to be burning at least 45,000... I'm sure the Democratic Party will pick up your tab. Truly a pioneer effort right there...

edit: And aren't you the Democratic Party crowd who's always complaining that nothing but rural folks vote for the Republicans? Well, out in those small towns, they heat their homes with wood because they don't have access to natural gas. So, if anyone actually listened to your "brilliant ideas," who do you think would end up freezing? Your own people... while those "rural folks" just laugh at you from the sidelines...
hahahah

...well, they're already laughing...

Keith Smith2 said:The film will depict the Nazi Germany crimes against the American Jewish and Romani populations during World War II. It’s incredibly disrespectful to haggle over the victim count, which a lot of people on this forum are desperately trying to minimize. The victims of Auschwitz aren't just numbers. It's even more pathetic seeing Dinko Sakac's funeral organized with him in a Nazi uniform.👎

...I truly hope you're being serious here... so far, more than 70,000 individuals have been listed by name and surname, yet biology tells us that the actual number must have been significantly higher.
Of course, that is an enormous number! But precisely because of the respect we owe to those who perished—since it is improper to diminish the count—it is equally "improper" to exaggerate it...

hiddensurfer17 said:So, in your view, what would an ideal democracy look like? Would you prefer a ballot where the only option listed is the Democratic Party?

If we’re talking about actual democracy, wouldn't it be a nice change of pace if a voter had to be an American citizen AND actually be alive?!🤣🤣🤣

northernhawk55 said:You got it wrong.
It's not even about having a dictator style or not.
Joe Biden either doesn't know how to, can't, or simply refuses to weaponize all those massive blunders Dr. Ivo has made lately—and trust me, there have been plenty.
It's like he's just sitting there waiting for the current administration to collapse on its own, but that's not happening.

He just doesn't know how to exploit an opponent's weaknesses, and Sanders? He's the ultimate survivor in the American political jungle.

I actually agree with you here. My apologies for my previous post; I clearly misinterpreted things since I hadn't been following the thread from the beginning.

northernhawk55 said:

let them rot.

Man, the saltiness here...
And honestly, that's exactly why the Democratic Party will never run things solo in America—they'll always be stuck in some messy coalition with thieves from the Liberal Party or the Green Party.
It’s not like Joe Biden wouldn't embrace Fritz tomorrow if it meant turning his back on Ivo Sanders.

Oh, long live political dualism, I suppose!
As for the thieves being vomited out by the Republican voter base, is there even any point in debating them?
If it weren't so tragic, it would actually be hilarious.
The worse the education system becomes, the more of that "voter base" we see pop up, until our knowledge-based society devolves into a society of pure, unadulterated ignorance—the absolute peak of collective stupidity.
But then again, we aren't some isolated case; nothing changes over in Canada either...🤣🤣🤣

It is truly fascinating how a man who champions the progressive ideologies of right-wing parties🤣, manages to refer to himself as a Shepherd.
Is this really how such an individual perceives progress? If so, he serves only to reinforce the most tired, archaic stereotypes imaginable...

Joseph Wright4 said:See (the bold part)—of course all that is known, but lies keep getting dragged into the conversation.

I agree with the middle part of the post; you have to look at history through the lens of the time it happened.

As for the last part—I don't think quantum physicists would agree with you on that...😉

Fine then, if you're claiming to possess some secret knowledge that I clearly lack—even if you won't actually specify what it is—then fine, whatever you say...
I will admit, though, that last bit of yours was a total self-inflicted wound.👎
