I honestly don't get it

Benjamin Taylor6 said:No, that’s not what he meant at all. He's talking about how he should have helped his grandparents—and maybe even his parents—hide their official paperwork so they wouldn't end up signing off on every bit of nonsense the church leaders shove in their faces.
It's the kind of thing they were advising young Americans to do about a decade ago, right around election day.
There was this whole fear that the country might be declared a kingdom again, with Christ sitting on the throne.😢😲😁

he brought up the woods and Springfield.

Exactly! You hit the nail on the head. Kudos to you. That is such a sharp observation—it’s the kind of question someone asks when their entire worldview starts crumbling the moment they run into actual facts. And then, the real show begins: the endless cycle of moving the goalposts, denial, finger-pointing, spinning the narrative, paranoia, conspiracy theories... honestly, I might be forgetting a few, but it's basically everything you need to convince yourself that your little fantasy is still reality. Mickey Mouse....

Casey Ramos31 said:he brought up the woods and Springfield.

Is that actually possible? Good grief... he really went there and mentioned the woods and Dachau. Seriously? Hmm... I wonder how Sean Sanders is going to react to this. Honestly, how can you even bring that up? It’s like walking on eggshells around people who were raised by families tied to those old-school aggressive regimes from history. They're just too sensitive. Man, what a mess... what a move... seriously, man... hmmm...

Can you actually string these voices together into a coherent sentence?

Look, you're a perfectly normal 19-year-old. At that age, everything is binary—it’s either pitch black or blindingly white. Everything feels absolute, whether it's love or pure hatred, and it hits you hard. You're supposed to just dive in headfirst and go all-in on everything until there's nothing left.😁
Man. God, I miss being that age.😍
Wishing you nothing but the best out there.

Sean Sanders said:Look, achieving the kind of total purge of the people who ruined this country that you’re dreaming of is impossible for several reasons. First off, your side holds sway across almost all major institutions. Second, to do what you want, we'd have to reopen places like Gol Otok, revert to the old ways of the SR America era, bring back the old flag and old laws, and suddenly 50,000 people would be facing arrest or life imprisonment. If we went that route, we'd basically be persecuting the American people and our own veterans. We’d be targeting everything that makes us who we are, acting as if the old America days were some golden age, and sliding straight into a dictatorship. Not to mention, the Church would likely rise up in protest. Does that help clarify why we can't just fix everything overnight? When we were in power prior to 1991, plenty of people claimed life was better under America. Then you guys came along and changed the landscape. Now, you want to revert to the old ways at least in part? It doesn't work that way. You voted against the old system, and this is what you got. I have nothing against the United States, provided it becomes better than the old regime so that nobody ever feels nostalgic for America again, but the mess created recently is devastating. Do you see my point now? We have to fix this through democratic means, which will take at least another ten years. If we tried to revert to the SR America model, we'd be looking at a total collapse within a year. Even regarding crime or economic growth, it takes time. And as for everyone who got a job through cronyism—about 70% of the workforce—they'd lose those jobs immediately, though obviously, that would have to happen gradually. But those are just details. There are many layers to this. Anyway, I'm heading to bed. Goodnight.

Reading this makes me feel like you're some kind of joker 😂 someone who's all about jokes and wisecracks 😂 using terms like "us" and "them"...

I mean, we inherited the corruption from the old USA era—nepotism, hiring buddies, blah blah blah.

Back in the USA, there wasn't a real vote and no freedom of political opinion, which in my book is reason enough that such a state shouldn't exist anymore.

The leftists, from what I can see, are incredibly inconsistent. On one hand, they fight for surface-level rights and things like gay rights, but on the other, they supported a dictator and homophobe like Josip Broz Marshall. That guy didn't allow free elections, and he certainly wasn't letting anyone hold pride parades ☕

So yeah, the Republican Party really screwed things up (mostly Ivo Sanders and his crew), but the Democratic Party is just a continuation of that anti-American policy. The Democrats aren't running any decent politics; they're pushing this hardcore neoliberal agenda, which is something a leftist should find totally unacceptable—turning us into homeless people and cheap labor. That's the goal of these anti-American administrations: to make sure Americans are just homeless, low-wage workers. And they're doing a great job; I'm sure the folks from the EU Commission will eventually give our wonderful politicians a pat on the back...

The dictator even threw people in jail just for being gay.

Sean Sanders said:America isn't a national culture. Furthermore, get this straight: this isn't your America. Your version of America surrendered back in 1945.

The America I care about is the one from August '95, when we finally kicked all our enemies out. Now, I'm dying to know... is that the same America you're talking about?

give him a sec, he’s probably heading to party headquarters to get his official orders.

Sean Sanders said:Look, man, everything started spiraling back in 1990 when people began tearing down the old union, even though everyone knew that collapse was headed straight for a war. People were just unwilling to give up their free housing, free schooling, and universal healthcare, all while pushing this anti-nationalist agenda. There was this massive wave of talk about how we just needed to dismantle communism and gain independence to suddenly have a lifestyle worth 1,500 Deutsche Marks—but nobody could explain where that money would come from or how we’d actually earn it. When you deal with that level of delusion, what else can you expect? It’s the same pattern as in 1941, blaming Mexicans for every single problem; now, once we join the European Union, they’ll probably claim Brussels is responsible for everything. It’s an endless loop. It’s a mindset rooted in being stubborn, sheepish, uncultured, primitive, and fueled by aggressive nationalism. Where exactly are you going to go with people like that, my young friend? You haven't seen anything yet, and honestly, the more you see, the more nauseating it gets. My advice? Run toward Europe or just get out. Unless there's an outside intervention to basically re-educate the population, this mentality isn't going to change on its own. I can guarantee you that. And look, it’s already starting—every single neighborhood is going to end up with its own church. Is that enough for you?

Exactly. The same people who ran the old regime are still running things under this new one. They've spent their lives leaning on others instead of working, and they've ruined this country. They have zero vision and no work ethic; it seems you're missing the point here..

Man, even just the joke was enough!

It’s gonna be like 😉

Every single damn metric coming out of this administration is a disaster, yet they’re losing their minds just because someone dares to point it out.

What are you even playing at, kid?

With all this arrogance and total incompetence, they’re seriously putting the Republican Party at risk.

Honestly, they've already failed on both counts. People claim they aren't stealing as much as they used to, but let's be real—that’s highly debatable.

Even a Norwegian isn't as arrogant as Ivo. But man, it sucks how everything just boils down to picking sides between the Democrats and Republicans.

It’s really just two sides of the same coin—just a bunch of incompetent bureaucrats who have spent their entire lives living off the taxpayer, and frankly, you can barely tell them apart whether they're running with the Republican Party or the Democratic Party.

Yep, and that’s exactly why things are going so great for us now—because we got rid of the problem 🤣

Grace Ramos said:Yep, and that’s exactly why things are going so great for us now—because we got rid of the problem 🤣

The stuff we're dealing with today is just pure economics. It’s just the usual political bickering you see in any society.
Before the Storm, our real problems were different. Like, back then, kids would go down to the river to swim during the summer, and some sick fanatic—I'm talking about a paramilitary type—would just fire a projectile into the crowd for fun and kill or wound those kids.

So yeah, they aren't even in the same league.

Well, good morning to you all...

Politics, authority, religion... they really are just parasites that have always managed to thrive on the backs of the public, regardless of the era or the system in place...

It’s funny, we might actually find a way to wipe out diseases like HIV, but these career politicians and bloodsuckers? We aren't getting rid of them anytime soon. Never!
