I'm not a shill, but thanks. I hope you all enjoy your herion addictions. Get on that oxycontin, that fentanlyn. Let Russia and Europe wreck you. Junkie freaks. I've seen more chats on managing your dose than anywhere here. You've also flagged my account as a shill. Get a grip and learn something before you Co. E at people who know war because they've lived it you absolute broke brain pussies. 95% of the world think you're idiots. As the British say, give you're head a wobble.

Because no ones listening heres a hint for you all. The lab leak investigation will show it was average Joe's and scientists going into caves in China. They may also mention either south America or Eastern Europe. I've been told the reality is people in caves in Russia and China, but they won't go there with Russia. Trump will be indicted. After the arizona outcome. Their evidence will be weak, at best. The majority of the country expects this and as a result, there will be less resistance to sending trump to jail. Conspiracy theory or common sense, you decide. Have asked for info on Ghislaine Maxwell and its a stonewall. All I know about all of that is having a family member who knew both Chester Barr and Donald Trump and hated both. He died recently, but said he was glad maxwell had been caught. He knew her dad, come to think of it.

Communism and socialism are very different. They're not interchangeable.

The Nazis may have promised to nationalise industry, but once in power, they privatised pretty much everything. From utilities to rail to chemical industry and on and on it went.

Mussolini implemented a corporate state. He may have promised syndicalism, he even supported a few strikes, but in the end, he shafted everyone. Especially the workers. He took all took all the money from the church, banks and industry and pissed it up the wall on his daft ambitions. He tried to sell that to his people that to work, gave you the same title as a king. But only he was Il Duce and they were poor and at war. The weren't happy and they strung him up to show it eventually. So much for his unified national identity.

I don't get your point on the fascists and Marx. It will take capitalism reaching its zenith to collapse capitalism. And yet, they pushed capitalism. They used socialism as a lure but...?

If America goes to war, any war, it has the support of NATO, thems the rules. So America can't defend the free world without them. The two things are inextricably linked.

Americas budget on internal defence spending, maintenance of the forces, arms spending, research and development however is large. Suspiciously large. Probably grossly over inflated. So that's a grift on the people, imo.

I would like to ask, as you seem like a person with some solid knowledge and a good handle on things, where to start looking properly on my new journey into this mystery.

I'm obviously new here but I've read about Q and feel I know enough to make me very intrigued and want to know more. Honestly though, I was advised by a friend to come to this site for more in depth info but I'm out of my depth here, everyone knows so much more than me. Where should someone with a bit of knowledge but not a ton, go looking for a good grounding on the theories?

Any tips on who to follow, watch, read, all gratefully taken and appreciated.

And as of 2020, America and Germany are equal contributers to the overall NATO budget, 16% each. No doubt only because Trump put the thumb screws on.

Mussolini was not a part of the communist party, he was part of the socialist party. By 1919, he was saying socialism was dead and people only believed in it to hold a grudge. But then, like I say, he was an opportunist and let's face it, not to be trusted. The Nazis, the falanges, the Italian fascists, the didn't nationalise industry, the were capitalist, on the face of it. They just ended up screwing industry over and taking everything they had to feed the party and individual ambition. Mussolini was Conservative, as far as he voters were concerned. He sided with the catholic Church to implement strictly Conservative education and family policies (because he wanted to build an army and he needed a brainwashed youth and increased birthrate) and Conservative working rights and trade union policies to maintain hierarchical systems so people would fight in his dream war.

Of the 5 nordic nations, only 2 are part of NATO, so that is incorrect. As a percentage defending America costs NATO more than they contribute, so America being part of NATO represents a net loss for the alliance. NATO also oversees certain regards of Arms trade, from which America is the only beneficiary. Its not perfect, but it is a good deal for America, overall.

Well, if you're talking about just the word, fascism, that's still off the mark about Mussolini. But in terms of Conservative ultra nationalism and the style of governance that went with it, it had been around long before Mussolini or Gentile. There were communist and socialist parties in Italy early in Mussolini career and he was a socialist. He was even high in their ranks but got booted out. He didn't leave, they ejected him from the party because of his beliefs. Like the Nazis, Mussolini often co-opted socialist ideas to appeal to the masses, but what he was offering was populism. He was not at all egalitarian, he was just a wolf in sheep's clothing. Socialism and fascism did have ideas in common but they are very different, idealogically. Neither have proven to be great for a country. What really seems to work is the Nordic model of having free market capitalism but with a strong welfare state safety net. Although the nordic countries don't do this via 'socialism' as such, it can only happen due to wealth redistribution, a very socialist idea.

Bit of a slog ngl. Unless you're into philosophy and scientific journals. I sort of am that nerdy so I made it through.

It gets a mention in the book version of a clockwork orange too, in the 60s. It's called Dremcrom (like the picture) Anthony Burgess was a massive Aldous Huxley fan who was a huge fan of mescaline. He wrote in the doors of perception that he imagined adrenochrome might give him a similar buzz, being byproducts of adrenaline. Same reason Thomson put it in fear and loathing but he said he made up the name himself and was referencing DMT.

IG Farben only bankrolled the Nazis once Hitler was already Chancellor and Goering was the reichtstag president and they started to throw some protection racquet energy about. Yes, the companies were greedy but the Nazi top brass weren't above using mob tactics either. And IG Farben was a predominantly Jewish company, so on shaky ground with the Nazis and they knew it. Their Jewish board was eventually replaced with Nazi puppets.

Smedley Butlers situation is a weird one to equate with Michael Flynn. Banks didn't like that a democratic president was bringing in banking regulations and ushering in an era of socialist reforms. Butler was a socialist. I don't think General Flynn would appreciate being likened to a socialist, but that's just my take.

Revolutionary France would be considered Fascist. The futurist manifesto of 1909 is considered fascist, so Mussolini did not invent it. One of the defining behaviours of fascist states has been to strongly control and regiment the economy and corporations, there is no alliance. If anything, corporations currently lead the government.

I've looked and its not trending. Most of twitter is liberal though.

Technically, Allah is exactly the same God as the one Christians worship. In Islam, Moses and Jesus are powerful prophets, they just also believe that Mohammed is too. Its a later continuation of the same root religion. I think it's also important to remember that there is strong historical and textual evidence that Jesus had studied Buddhism widely. Some of his greatest teachings were directly pulled from the Buddha and Buddhist monks had been popularising their religion in Judea at least 200 years before the time of Christ.

As far as I know, tik tok algorithms mean you see more of the content you like, so if your son is interested in Trump, he'll see more pro Trump stuff. You can check what the most engaged with content on the platform is though and its overwhelmingly Liberal. Like 90%. Good on your son for sticking to his guns, he's becoming increasingly rare in his generation.

It's a bit of an awkward looking tradition anyway but I'd guess this change is probably down to an overabundance of Covid caution more than anything genuinely significant honestly.
