Brent, understood. No, there is currently nobody on either party involved in
the benefit of specifically the US middle class. The Republicans involved in
taking cash donations from the Boards of Directors, are now call RINO's. Which
has evolved from merely not following the scripts of conservative policy, to
basically taking bribes from mostly, China-facing corporations. How this
damages the US as a society may be evidenced in the 2022 election. The dems,
including the President, his brother, his son Hunter are, (China) like most
democrats reliant on funds for which a campaign nowadays cannot be successful.
The Bidens are far from alone in this. The Bern, back in 2016 and again in 2019
was taking cash and advice from Ebay founder, Pierre Omidyar. I conclude that
all the government is an unofficial oligarchy, but so what? A peasant such as
myself see's behind the curtain that Toto has pulled aside and yeah, the world
is not changed, The Truth has not set us free, nor, is always turning the other
cheek, such a workable idea either.
So what will cause a "correction," in the rule of oligarchs? My suspicion is
that it will be economic and perhaps China troubles shaking the globalist tree.
So what do we do? Well, things like AI, Machine Intelligence, 3D Printing, are
advancing almost daily, a little bit at a time. Thus, we may have an
opportunity to be able to pull back a bit from centralized authority which as
of today, appears like it will fail us via a surge of inflation, etc.
Replacement for the globalist giants may occur because we get forced to do
without these people and their supply chain. Well will see!

against an unwilling people at least the 75 million of us idiots who voted for
the orange guy. Hence the huge push for things like CRT, and transgenders
competing in women's sports and online media censorship and the control of
banks by people who are of a progressive bent. I turn people of a progressive
bent are really those sort of liberals who seem to be highly tolerant of Soviet
socialism. Now this is even so, that they are funded by globalist China facing
corporations. The issue sort of breaks down to the old Union tune which had a
lyric that went something like that " which side are you on boy, which side are
you on?" My point in that observation is that we still live in a nation-state
age we still behave tribally and if we don't other tribes implicitly and
explicitly will. Witness the CCP in XI China. So until something changes in
the world in which we all must live, something technological I suspect, AI is
the first thing that jumps to my wee brain, we must dance like the puppets we
are to the tune that is called by our collective nature's. Governments that
don't go nationalist at this point in time yes even in the 21st century will
see themselves kicked out of office at the very least witness what's happening
in Europe. We must have something that replaces nationalism just as we must
have something that replaces fossil fuels and switch over while we run things
concurrently.

I interpret that to mean you don't believe in the "original intent"
interpretation.

Well, I admit a linguist would say the weapon meaning of the word "arms" is
derived from the word for the limbs human beings used to manipulate things, and
a linguist would also say the derivation of the word "calculus" comes from the
Greek word for small stone or pebble, but I don't think having completed a
study of pebbles will help you much on a calculus exam.

True, it's impossible for one man to carry a frigate, but it's certainly
possible for one man to carry and activate a nuclear warhead, so I don't see
your point. I'm also surprised to hear you bring up the "well regulated
militia" bit because for years courts have been pretending that line didn't
exist in the Constitution. The only well regulated militias are state national
guard units, and only a tiny percentage of the population are members of the
national guard, but there are more privately owned guns in the US than there
are people in the country. And even when national guard members are called to
duty they don't use their personal guns, they use weapons provided by the state.
I think the second amendment is the most sloppily written part of the
constitution, and that's really saying something considering what a very
imperfect document it is. At least the parts about slavery are clear, they're
not stupid, they're just evil.
