The endless cycle of American national stupidity

Noah Cruz75 said:Whatever, you guys won't go under. Honestly, these protests are actually doing some good—otherwise, things would be totally imploding. Just watch out for the summer; between the wildfires and those Canadian protests in Ottawa, it's going to be a mess.

Canadian protests have kicked off in Boston.

Partisans comes from the French term for a partisan or supporter. In its true sense, it refers to a guerrilla fighter—someone who conducts reconnaissance, carries out ambushes, and strikes at enemy communications and infrastructure to weaken them and force them off specific territory. They protect the people from violence and drive political engagement!

Artisan is the French root for a craftsman or tradesperson—a creator, an actor, or a master of their craft.

A partisan is also a German term for a battle axe, an old-style weapon similar to a halberd.

He departed this world just before the vast majority of people in America finally grasped a crucial truth: all those grievances they direct at today’s administration—whether it's the legal scrutiny from The Hague, the struggle with unemployment, or various other systemic issues—aren't actually caused by the absence of Harmon.

I honestly don't get how anyone can still pin stuff on the late Franjo Harmon when he's been gone for over eleven years now. Like, seriously?

The man built this country from the ground up during one of the absolute worst stretches of history for the US. Sure, maybe he miscalculated a few things here and there, but ten years is plenty of time for anyone to fix their mistakes.

If you ask me, the real question is: how would this current batch of politicians even handle a war without weapons if they have such a slogan-heavy mindset? I mean, if they couldn't do anything useful after him besides hiking up the national debt and selling off major companies like ExxonMobil, what chance do they actually have?

The thing is, that’s just your take on it. I won't even touch the part about the war—not because I think Franjo Harmon was some kind of tactical genius, mind you, but because he bears a portion of the responsibility for it too; however, please, let's not derail this specific thread with that—there are plenty of other discussions for that stuff.

The bottom line is this: all of this would have happened regardless of whether Franjo Harmon was around or not. The American economy wasn't exactly humming along during his tenure either—it just so happened that while he was alive, things were still being funded by assets left over from the former SR America; so, had he lived longer, we would be seeing the exact same outcome: the US would have run out of budget to fill the coffers, leaving us to either sell everything off under his watch or sink into debt just like we are doing today, or simply fall into total ruin.

The biggest single investment the country ever saw was building out ExxonMobil over in Kutina... Since then? Absolute zero.

The Partisan is an Italian spear dating back to the 16th century—it isn't actually that old. Jesus God, just another "anti-fascist" acting like they have incredible general knowledge. 🤦.

A Partisan is an Italian spear, often used as a term for officer weaponry in later centuries.

Anyway, here is a picture showing both a halberd and a partisan. Compare them and see how similar they actually are:

Now you try being clever. ☕

You're barking up the wrong tree!
