This post will be a bit more meta than the political rants that I posted. What I mean by historical times is an event or series of happenings that changes the course of the development of a society. The 9/11 attacks were such an event. This FAKE Covid crisis is also such an event. The Singularity will probably be the ultimate such event.
We are used to living and planning our lives along predictable courses, often making huge assumptions about the nature of the society that we will be living in. Far too many of us forget, ultimately, how fragile our lives are. How we depend each day or a network of trust throughout our society to make life possible. For example, the people pay taxes to the local government for police and schools. Now, in several cities, the city government has abandoned their police duties, which is causing a breakdown in the economy as businesses are not able to function without police protection. Meanwhile they are refusing to open the schools because, Hey!, there is a fake pandemic going around... And then they have the chutspah to go back to the taxpayers demanding more money. The people are, understandably going "fuck this shit", and moving out of these cities, and into rural areas. So cities that have been the crown jewels of American life are now teetering on the brink of utter collapse. Ok, lets hop into the wayback machine and go back to when the first Republican president was inaugurated. The Republican was a young party at the time, only 20 years old, iirc. The Democrats were pissed. They managed to push the inauguration back from the 20th of January to the 4th of march meaning there was a period of about six weeks when the country did not have a President. About six weeks after the inauguration, the states controlled by the Democrats seceeded from the union and attacked Fort Sumpter. I'm not going to spend a lot of time looking up secific details but yeah, this is relevant. =\ Several people have analyzed what the Demcrats are doing. They are not even campaigning in any real sense anymore. They are still expressing endless hate for Trump and his supporters but they have no platform, no set of proposals for making life in America better. Instead, they are working feverishly on stealing the election with their mail-in voting fraud. =| That won't work but they'll say it's Trump's Fault anyway and might just try to split the country. The problem is that since 1865, the policy of the federal government was to make another civil war impossible. The powers of the state governments has been diminished and they are far less independant than they had been in the beginning. The Democrats certainly control enough states to attempt it, I live in a democrat-governed state myself. =\ The real problem for the Democrats is that they don't have the political clout to hold their states together once they declare independance. This will not be an 1861 style Civil War. The rural counties, with all the water, farms, mines, etc, are fiercely loyal to the true President. So a few hours after declaring independance, the rural areas will declare independance from the urban areas and the suburban areas, such as the one I'm living in will become the DMZ. Now the cities will lose this conflict as it is as foolish as your brain declaring war on your heart. The heart simply has to stop pumping for a few minutes and the war is over. But that's not the point. This is a war of anihilation and the target is the nation, our way of life, and, through a short string of dominos, the entirety of western civilization. =( If we survive, there will be an anual pilgramage into the burned-out ruins of our cities where a large effigy of a donky will be erected and then burned. =| -- The vaccine is a LIE. #TheHonklerIsReal Powers are not rights. ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T3be43a3a9a623e69-Maa17e3db910b357b8de1c739 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
