God I hate subliminal messaging like this on articles. Even without reading the article, the individual associates socialism to be the "worst idea" without realizing it. Toxic shit.

That's because communism has murdered more innocents than any other ideology in historical record. Which makes it the worst known idea that has ever been put into practice.
If facts trigger you, then that's your problem.

Your problem is that associating socialism with communism is actually COMMUNIST PROPAGANDA. Before the commies, nobody ever thought of associating a philosophy of governance founded by Libertarians and Anarchists with communism. But they did that, and the psyop endured for a century or so, and now everybody thinks socialism is the same as communism.
Why do you think Hitler's National Socialists risked EVERYTHING to go fight Communism in the East, while having no peace treaty with the West? What, have you been brainwashed into thinking that Hitler was insane, too? Him and his socialists knew the very great danger of THE WORST IDEA EVER: communism.
But repeating communist propaganda psyop material isn't helping your cause. Read 1984 and realize that destroying language is destroying thought, and with no word for the ideas that "socialism" used to represent before getting co-opted by the commies, these ideas can't be communicated effectively anymore. It's akin to a socioeconomic lobotomy of sorts. EDIT: more like... "It's akin to a sort of lobotomy that would only touch socioeconomic thought, performed on whole populations."
But drones drone on: Socialism is a terrible idea because communism. Sigh.

He thought he was gonna blitz the Russians like he did France, NA and Poland. he wasn't crazy, just didn't study Napoleon in school like other people who actually got a hischool diploma ...Actually, scratch the part where he wasn't crazy...He was a demented demon in corpore.

So that's why he was fighting the demonic invasion? I think you just made off my friends list. You should either learn things and spew less BS or be less obvious with the disinformation. Either way, REMOVED.

Wth are you talking about...He killed and ruined more Christians than anyone managed to in centuries. He made eternal victims out of Jews and practically was one of the founders of Israel. What BS did I spew, the fact that he was uneducated or the fact that he tried blitzing Russia? Funny enough I never friended you cos you implied you're schizophrenic or something. I know sadly how those relationships go.

Other than a mercury intoxication that diminished my mental abilities by maybe 90%, my mental heatlh is perfect. And I'm STILL smarter than most. You have the wrong guy.

Had any success with chelation therapy?
[–][deleted] 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun - 3 years ago* (2 children)
Haven't done it yet. I thought it was the lyme disease doing this but upon further research it appears it is more likely to be the mercury offering complications on lyme disease and therefore, the thing to take care of.
It's difficult getting things done when you have maybe 5 hours of real wakefulness in a day, and maybe 2 when you can actually concentrate. Health problems will do that to somebody. It's not fun.

That's great, good to hear. I'm below average but my soul is top notch. No demons running around whispering in my ears.

My soul is top notch too, but yes, if you have "thoughts", you have demons whispering in your mind. The first thing they do is convince you those thoughts are yours. Tell me, have you never had weird, unhinged, thoughts that were not grounded in facts? Such as "he means (this)" or "(that) is going to happen" only after verifying, these thoughts were way off the mark?

Well you should tell those demons that Hitler sent millions of innocent people to their graves for no good reason. And recite this many times through out the day:
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and for ever. Amen.

I'm bipolar if that counts, plus I was on Big Pharma poisons for 4.5 years and took 7 years to recover to 95%.
What were you on may I ask?
[–]JasonCarswellVoluntaryist 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun - 3 years ago (0 children)
We (my doctors and I) tried 17 or 18 different pills alone or in combination. There was no scientific method to the madness they inflicted on me. I not only got woke to their scam, but in recovery I had nothing but curiosity and time and went down all the rabbit holes, even learning about the climate change scam and how many of my family are doctors ignorant of the Rockefeller origins of the AMA and CMA. Scientism is blind faith in private "science" for profit - unvalidated.
You're both correct and early 20th century Europe is not easy to summarize in a paragraph or two.

Hitler was a megalomaniac that put his conquest of the world above the needs of his nation. After Russia, it would have been China and India, after that, Japan, Australia, North America. He was going to lose at some point.

"conquest of the world"
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
WWI completely destroyed Germany. It would have stayed destroyed without the support of the West to rebuild. The sequel war was planned in the 1800s by Edward VII who didn't get to see the fruits of his conspiracy. Germany wouldn't have started the war if not lured into it. Hitler did not fight as well as he could have for many reasons. Hitler was always going to lose. It seems Hitler moved to South America after. I'm no fan of Hitler or any government on any side, but the WWII narrative we're all told is bullshit when you start looking into it.

Not remotely. I just know history more than you obviously. Look into it. Challenge yourself. Examine views that you don't buy into, and maybe you might even change your mind when the evidence is too strong to deny. If you don't look you'll never know for sure. SO FUCKING MUCH of what we're sold through the corporate media is bullshit.

conquest of the world
The Germans never had "conquest of the world" as a war aim. The goal was to conquer the food-producing areas of the Soviet Union, so that Germany could not be starved out like it was in WWI.
It was war propaganda that the Germans wanted to take over the world. I remember watching a newsreel that had the Germans jumping from Algeria over the Atlantic into the Caribbean and then Washington DC - laughable. But that's what they did to scare the shit out of Americans so they'd volunteer to fight in the war.
Uhhhhhh, SURE.

Communism is socialism in practice. You are just intentionally blind to that fact.

No. That is WHAT THE COMMIES SAY. You are repeating COMMUNIST PROPAGANDA by saying that.
Is this so difficult to understand?

Are you sure about that? American foreign policy and all the coups and shit the CIA have been up to stack up over the last couple hundred years. The USA is the only nation to ever use nukes as a weapon.
Communism is just as bad and the other side of the coin. 100 million dead under Mao. 40 million dead under Stalin. There's a reason the US doesn't count their kills. Bad for PR.
Absolutely certain. The death counts of all the wars the US has been involved in put together do not hold a candle to the number of people murdered by the USSR alone. That is counting all deaths on all sides.
Nonsense.

It's because the article is actually about the fact that Socialism is the worst idea.

People who study history know why socialism is a scam that hurts more than it helps.
People who study history know why socialism is NOT communism.
Just like conservatism is not Alt-Right is not Nazis.
Get real.
Dump the tribal politics.
