The United States of America is fairly there, down to being the ideologically dangling prize between autocratic factions teetering between autocracy vs democracy.

As tensions rise and the factions feel more defensive and paranoid, the notions of autocracy, "just a little, til we get past initial hurdles..." creep in.

You're making a tremendously important point here. Our republic is most certainly teetering between autocracy and democracy and I think you're right... as tensions grow, so do the lengths people are willing to go. I really can't think of a better example than Trump and his tendency to lean on the notions of autocracy that nevertheless appeal to those pissing their pants about the threat of communism.

Ignorant bullies. Bye again, Felicia.

Stop the gaslighting.

Where did you see 99.9% peaceful, you taking drugs? Should I show you the film clip?
How incredibly dishonest of you.

In school either.

Clearly to the rest of us who know, we know who was not taught. BTW one can educate themselves, give it a whirl.

There you go again. You despised me by using bold. Non-sense, I have the freedom to using that, just like many others who wanted.

And you want a universal healthcare? Stay in Cuba, that's what they have, or in China. It is a healthcare uniformly applied to all kinds of breathing human being regardless of the status of your medical condition.

With president Trump, our healthcare have the right to choose what is suitable to our health to get the best care.

Biden's Marxism is now open to uniformly provide healthcare to all people in the US including the 31 million illegals. Biden is grooming these illegals for future democrat voters to have a forever control of power under the Marxist ideology. But who fund their healthcare? Those people who work hard to earn a living for their families. The Marxist BLM free loaders don't want to work. They only loot and steal, but with free healthcare with Biden and Barack.

If you are elderly, how long do you line up waiting for your doctor's appointment with hundreds lined up on front of you? Mostly pregnant illegal aliens about to deliver their babies to have in-born US citizenwhip like Kamala Harris thru her student visa parents. Now those babies could claim to be president of the United States like Kamala.

What freedom are you talking about? Biden's Marxist ideloogy does not allow freedom. BLM's are Marxist. Do not allow freedom of religion. They are tearing apart the Christian symbols, burn churches the house of God for worship.

Biden is in alliance with the Hi-Tech industries, like Twitter, eliminating the conservatives to express their opinions that don't represent their own desires. Twitter, FB, have eliminated my accounts. Though FB eventually restored mine, when I complained. I own FB stocks, and they won't allow me to use ?Twitter forever closed my account though.
Therefore that is not freedom. Marxism does not have freedom. Even the president Trump is not allowed his freedom to express at Twitter. That must end soon.

If I recall correctly, this post wasn't directed to you, there was nothing written in bold that I saw, to show me despising you or anyone, which I don't. Good day

Don't u dare make fun of God or religion. Who the hell do u think u are? You are nothing but a bag of wind/- more like farts. Grow up and get over yourself. Go find someone to "take on" since all u want to do is fight. You might try praying for a change; Lord knows u can use some guidance, u and a few others on OPP

When and where did u get an education, if u really have one.

Seriously? OK, I'm going to answer your question but first I'm going to list a few problems I have with it.

1. This is an anonymous site. There is no way to prove anyone's personal claims. I could lie and say I studied law at Harvard. You could be lying about your degree in history. So, there's really no point. Here on OPP all you have is your words. I suggest you get better at using your words to support your claims instead of...

2. ...trying to validate your argument with a logical fallacy - argumentum ad verecundiam - otherwise known as appeal to authority. Insisting that a claim is true simply because a valid authority or expert on the issue said it was true, without any other supporting evidence offered. Here's a film clip from the 50's that explains it quite well.

1950's educational clip explaining the fallacy of an appeal to authority.

3. I don't take kindly to people who try to win arguments by demanding personal information... Especially when it doesn't make any difference to the argument and I am trying to maintain my anonymity.

That being said... I got my BS at UCSD in the 80's and my MBA at Penn State in the 90's. Now I can say I told you for whatever that's worth.

I also co-founded two small corporations, served on the board of advisors for a software company and ran a sole proprietorship. Now I am in semi-retirement so I can spend a little more time on writing, politics and otherwise enjoying life.

You apparently have to "prepare" your answers.

I like to think about my responses, so yeah, I guess you could say I "prepare" my answers. I didn't know that was crime.

I don't argue with bully types, especially "dumb" ones because what they say is usually nonsense.

Yes, and unfortunately those pissing in their pants out of fear are being fed the very thing that drives their fear. The dog chasing the proverbial tail, around and around it goes. It would be great if just one said stop the train I want to get off, maybe it would set off a chain reaction.

I don't know if you're male or female or fluid or what... The sentence called for a pronoun, so I picked one. I guess on some level I was assuming you're a female.

That's my response to someone else who actually deserved it..if you got the response, maybe I sent it wrong. I apologize - you are not someone I would get angry with, I generally enjoy your posts. I don't remember who I directed it to, but it wasn't you. If I did make a mistake, I am sorry.

LOL... One can always hope.

It's pretty much what we were discussing a few days ago... democratic socialism on the American Left could be a serious threat to the plutocracy if not for their investment in false narratives, including the ridiculous idea that socialism is some kind of threshold to the gulags.

How do you apply science, technology, engineering and mathematics to studying history?

Why are you asking me? I never said you could.

Blade_Runner wrote:

Science has a history, technology, engineering and math have histories.

Yes, everything has a history but you can't describe any of those things through history alone. Economics being no exception. To learn the theories of Karl Marx or Adam Smith, you take a course in economics not history.

Blade_Runner wrote:

Does this sort of technical education make you the judge of what is or is not history?

I'm not even talking about history... that's the whole point. Antisquad was ranting about the threat of communism to the U.S. That's a concern about the future. So where's the history of our future Blade? I don't see it anywhere.

Seems to me that our concerns about the potential threat of communism is better served with an understanding of what communism actually is.

Blade_Runner wrote:

I seriously doubt you could win a debate against someone with a degree in history.

I do it all the time.

Look, historians are just story tellers and most of history is very subjective. As they say, history is written by the victors. That's why so many historians are going back to correct mistakes and shed light on omissions... I think you folks call them revisionists.

A much better example would be the actions of the left.
