I don't want to appeal to any right winger, neoliberal or neoconservative. No where in either of my posts did I advocate such. Those on the left, the real definition of left, are easily fractured into faction's. It is our nature as independent thinkers.
My only goal of my posts on this thread is to help people realize that they are being manipulated by these wedge issues devised by consultants to separate/divide us. Not that these aren't real issues they absolutely are. However they are labeled wedge issues for a reason. Excellent division tactics of manipulation and used in that manor.
We have to fight the $$$! That's my point. Those on the real left need to coalesce behind that singular goal. That's the only way to win freedom and equality for all.
My dad said to me once, "Pick your battles wisely, figure out whats the most present obstacle to your success, form a strategy that will succeed or you will fail. Sometimes that means playing the long game."
That a bit crazy, they are wedge issues. The consultants red and blue have defined them so..
The left and the right pay consulting firms hundreds of millions to devise ways to create/use these "wedge issues" to divide us. That's the game. Keep you fighting over these issues and never doing anything meaningful to change things. Puppets and pawns.
The only game that will ever make any meaningful change is the money game! That's the only game that matters to them and the only one we need to win for all the wedge issues to be treated as real life issues.
We cannot have a functional democracy any other way. It is the only issue that will be able to bring about any meaningful change.
Don't let these think tanks divide and blind you or you risk just being the latest fad en vogue "wedge issue" political prop. Doomed to be used till your usefulness runs its course and they latch on the next whilst you get nothing in return. That's the plan all along.
I absolutely stand by the lgbt peoples as I stand by the others marginalized by society. What I'm saying was pretty fucking clear! If you want real lasting change there is only one real issue that matters. We have to break the money system. Or else nothing changes ever!
What got us Hillary not Bernie was the DNC, the same people that use the marginalized as props for political gain. People should have figured that out by now, if they are paying attention. The neoliberal right wing democrats! They own the DNC! They despise their own constituency. They loathe anyone that challenge their money making machine.
I understand your frustration here. You and the minority communities do matter! With that said, the only way for you to have recognition and equality is to overthrow those in power. Those in power use you and other minorities as sock puppets pandering to wedge issues. While wedge issues are important to you and I, they are meaningless to those that use them to divided us.
If you let them keep using you as their wedge issue you can expect nothing but quarter measures and lip service in return. They need you to be that wedge issue to continue their robbery. You are being used, and as long as your useful nothing will materially change for you. You will be pulled left to right with every administration shift, never getting anything you need and deserve.
What matters to those in power is money. That's it. Right and left alike. Nothing else! Not you or any minority or what you/they/I care about will change while these kinds of people are in power.
I'm not saying to put your priorities on the back burner. I'm saying we have to come together to burn the fascists down to get what we want together. Money out of politics is the only avenue for any change. That might have to be the only priority for a moment til we have a functioning government that has the power to actually change all our lives for the better.
I think he is saying in the nicest way possible, the the democratic party no longer represents us and we should be using our vote so we can have representation that does.
Garida has the most polished easy Arch and fully tweeked KDE experiance i have found. I think that it is the best introductory Arch distro out there. Dragonized edition comes fully loaded with all your gaming needs packaged up in the distro. Comes with chaotic AUR already installed so most of what you want from the AUR is precompiled and doesn't have to be built.
Mexico poses no threat. Easily controlled by throwing it further into disarray, backing a cartel or installing some other dictatorial wannabe. What we have always done south of the border.
Canada poses a threat because of it's ability to remain sovereign. It has shown itself to be able to retain a functional democracy independent of US and kremlen influence. For the most part anyway. If Canada joins the EU, Krasnov's enemy in on his doorstep which makes it even more important they try and succeed to become part of the EU before Krasnov supplants all democracy in the US which is likely before the midterms.
There is also the fact that he sees Canada: white, Mexico: brown. Racism defiantly playing a huge factor in his every decision.
Puerto Rico is a US territory already, he doesn't care about. Not rich or white enough.
Across the ocean, I think he is interested in South Africa. Musks homeland. Possibly a strategic place for invading Australia when Krasnov and putin start their martch.
He has already expressed interest in Greenland. Natural resources and military advantage, keeping Europe separated from Canada/US when the new Axis of Ameri-rus begin to march.
Trump is not smart enough to set the chessboard but competent enough to follow orders from the kremlen.
Just some thoughts on what might be behind the motivation to annex Canada, Greenland and possibility South Africa.
I'd fight for Canadian sovereignty. It would be a fight against my own oppressors. I expect if the US invades Canada WWIII would begin to be a hot war instead of this cold/proxy war it has been. Would think Europe would not stand idly either. They would have no choice. They know that the US and russia would begin to carve up Europe next.
The better get some mines nukes and mines on their border then. I know Poland is preparing.
