War of words: Ever wonder why the fascists are called "conservatives" or "right wing" and it is widely accepted, while the moderate left are called "radical left"? This is how their winning starts.

Reminds me of Intel founder Andy Grove riding into conferences telling scientists that he is taking on Parkinson's research because if they were attacking Parkinson's like an engineer, the problem would be solved already. He died of – drumroll – Parkinson's disease.

It's been said that Mein Kampf was on his nightstand. I tend to lend some credence to it. However, the crusade against anti-semitism doesn't fit, but then Stephen Miller is writing the real playbook. We are learning Jews can be fascist, too, and commit holocausts.

No, it was Milton Freeman and Reagan, Larry Summers and Robert Rubin, 9/11 and the ill-calibrated reaction to it (Bin Laden never dreamed to be so effective), then 2008 and the Obama restoration thereafter. Covid just exposed the rot festering under the hood.

I applaud the Ukrainians for having done that. It caused no problems in Winter. Climate change isn't the only reason to phase out fossils. 1) It is an issue of strategic independence 2) Necessary to bankrupt all the rogue regimes built on oil 3) Decentralized energy to blunt missile terrorism.

Everyone in the "old" West has been conditioned that wars and civil wars are a thing of the past. In Europe, we have learned otherwise by the Ukraine attack. One million are dead, many more to come. In the US, you will learn from the takeover of blue districts by red states. Will you comply?

Afterwards, start with a new constitution, or several, while maintaining a loose confederation like the EU where accession is voluntary and reversible. Some polit-criminals may not freely travel into certain states.

My take: you can't move forward under the current constitution. Because to move forward, justice needs to be dispensed. It will look like political persecution and payback, made worse by the fact that they will all be pardoned. The constitution needs to be disregarded at that point.
