I honestly to God sincerely think Thomas Sowell is the best intellectual Conservatives have produced in modern times.

The man to the right of Kanye is Nick Fuentes, an internet influencer, Neo-Nazi, and holocaust denier who participated in January 6.

I posted this a while ago, but Don Edward Beck made the same mistake, assessing Donald Trump to be SDi YELLOW. Why are these supposed experts of Spiral Dynamics making such a crucial error in their assessment? The only correct opinion of Trump and Spiral Dynamics:

Elon Musk insists America should exit NATO. It's real. https://www.newsweek.com/elon-musk-insists-us-should-really-exit-nato-2041837 https://fortune.com/2025/03/09/musk-us-quit-nato-europe-defense-spending-donald-trump/ btw, this is totally unrelated. But I made a thread trying to survey party affiliation among members of this forum. I've created a poll, see link below, but only four people have answered, and the thread it beginning to die. I really want as much people to answer the poll just to get an accurate assessment of what kind of people are on this forum.

The problem is that third parties are extremely not viable in America, and this seems to be an exclusively American problem. I'm thinking I can vote in primaries for candidates that want to do things like abolish the electoral college and establish a proportional representation system. But until then, third parties are not viable. Also, there's plenty of good Democrats, particularly those who are members of the Democratic Socialists of America, such as Rashida Tlaib and Ocasio-Cortez.

But does it make sense to be non-partisan in America? What's the point if you're just going to register as Dem to vote in primary's and then switch back. Like how Bernie Sanders becomes a Democrat to run for President, but when he loses he switches back to being Independent. And even still he caucuses with the Democrats. I'm going through a bit of an identity confusion, I'm a registered Democrat because I want to vote for progressives in congressional primaries, but I'm wondering if that is me conforming to an institution and submitting to an ideology, something which these Guru's actively preach against. I don't at all identify with being a Democrat, but I am one just as a pragmatic strategy.

Bonus:

If you could register as a Dem without the spam, would you? Because the parties don't do that at all in my state.

I just checked, Nevada (according to your profile, you live in Vegas) has closed primaries. Can I ask why? Is it because you don’t like the Democrats or is it based off of some deeper principle of not being ideological? I’m asking because I’m wondering what should I do because my state, Maryland, has closed primaries. I don’t want to have to keep switching back and forth between unaffiliated and Dem.

@Leo Gura Are you registered as a Democrat? Or are you one of those people who switches to being a Democrat to vote in primaries, then switches back to unaffiliated/Independent? Do you vote in primaries only for the president of the U.S.A.? Or do you make sure to vote in House of reps and Senate primaries?

There needs to be an exact depiction of this in statue form in front of the White House to represent the end times, or Kali Yuga, the period for which we're currently in.

Keep in mind that Jesus Christ never created Christianity. Make a sharp distinction between the teachings of Jesus and Christianity, these are two different things. Christianity was never created by Jesus, but was actually founded by St. Paul.

They should instead build a statue of the Hindu Goddess, Kali.

Whenever I get frustrated with the retardation of American politics, at least compared to Europe, I like to think back to this talk. Skip to 0:40 minute mark. Edit: Bonus Video! “If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you are going to have selfish ignorant leaders” — George Carlin

Speaking of Democrats, I made a thread talking about out them, and what should progressives do given a two-party system. I want as many people to at least answer the poll. But the two largest caucuses in the Democratic Party, according to Wikipedia, are the Blue Dogs and the New Democrats. Both caucuses are fiscally conservative in principle. So no matter either way you vote, you get fiscal conservatism.

Who is Mark Carney?

Another Liberal Party elitist ghoul. What Canada needs is an NDP* Prime Minister. *NDP = New Democratic Party

Also, the economy is crashing.

I recently just had this weird thought, I've been holding in me because I didn't think anyone else would get it, but here it is. I'm seeing a lot of similarities between what is going on with Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Russian history. I really think Leo should write about this on his blog. But during the reign of Tsar Nicholas the second, there was a lot of controversy because the public saw the Tsar as being too close to one man, Rasputin. Rasputin was a Russian mystic and Orthodox Christian spiritual leader who was prophesied as having healing powers. After using his mystical powers to heal the Tsar's son, he gained a special position in influencing the Tsar's Government. So close was his relationship to the royal family, that people seriously believed that Rasputin was influencing the Tsar's Government and policy direction through mind control, and even having an affair with his wife. This is the exact dynamic going on right now. Elon Musk is Rasputin, and Donald Trump is Tsar Nicholas the second.

Ever since I was bought my first personal desk top computer in my freshman year of high school, I have always had an issue with chronic procrastination. It seemed that no matter how much effort I devoted to dealing with this issue, this particular thorn in my side never went away. This lead to putting everything off until the last minute, I can vividly recall how when I was younger, projects for which I had several months to complete would be put off to the very last day. Working late into the night, the very night before an assignment was due in high school was not an uncommon experience for me, and not because I was being overworked, but rather because of my chronic procrastination. After those painful late nighters, I would tell myself that I would NEVER do this again, only to again and completely unconsciously fall into my old habits. My favorite way to procrastinate is to binge on the Internet, wether it be YouTube, Reddit, 4chan, I just can't seem to stop. I have had it with the chronic issue for which I suffer with, I keep telling myself that I have had it, and that I'm not going to do it anymore, only to find myself unconsciously reverting to my old habits. I would put in place so many ways to prevent this, none of which seem to work. From putting my computer in the basement and only working on my school assigned laptop, to taping big warning signs to my wall reading NO PROCRASTINATING, nothing seemed to work. The only thing which seemed to work was refusing to go home from school untill all of my homework was completed, and having a teacher monitor me as I worked on my homework, using my school assigned laptop. I'm not asking for advice, as I'm already in a procrastination and OCD support group right now. I'm asking whether I'm either lazy, or stupid, OR do I have a legitimate psychological issue which is causing it.

Pakistan and Afghanistan are made up of so many competing ethnic groups and tribes, how they have a nationstate is beyond. For those ignorant... BLA is the Balochistan Liberation Army, an armed group which seeks to give the Baloch people, an ethnic group in Pakistan, their own state and to secede Balochistan, a province in Pakistan (see image below), and make it its own country.

These people were the original DOGE, and Trump fired them.
