Political elections are an illusion.
The more I look at these "elections" - this spectacle for the office of president the clearer it becomes: we lost the freedom we once fought for long ago. Now, it feels like trying to break free while chained to the illusion of choice. We’re like children; as soon as a candidate whispers what we want to hear, we’re ready to believe the fairy tale. And Trump, with his promise to end the war in 24 hours, is especially amusing. I mean, how does he imagine it? He’ll call the dictator and say, "Let’s end this war," and the guy will just go, "No." So what then? Trump will simply hand Ukraine over to Putin? And then China will quickly remember Taiwan, and Iran will decide it's their turn to jump in.

I’m writing this from a burning Ukraine. The closer you are to the epicenter of moral collapse, the clearer it becomes that you’ve long since become a pawn thrown off the board. When a shark’s biting down on your backside, negotiating compromises suddenly doesn’t seem all that appealing. And those who sit back and philosophically ponder "neutrality" probably have a special place waiting for them in Dante's inferno.

You can't lose something you never had.

indeed, all the power is in the hands of the Electorate College in the US, that's what really matters most. if popular vote had meant anything at all, Hilary Clinton would have been POTUS and not Trump.

Funny thing is the founding fathers of the US never wanted political parties to become the dominant power in politics, but never did anything to stop it from happening either, eventually those parties came together and it was no longer about the persons individual strength and influence, it was about the party until the electorate college was introduced, from there on popular vote mattered as much as an icicle in the middle of a hot desert.

i will tell you a dirty secret both commies and their german friends were created by some american bankers, many people forget that usa was the prime benefactor of ww2, all of europe was in ruins while us pronounced end of 1930 great depression, coincidence you say? they orchestrated both regimes to attack each other just like they did ww1 and ww2 and once again they did same, and then troll people about human rights and other nonsense that they helped to shoot down and destroy.

Fitting that this close to Halloween we have two people with monster avatars fighting each other. :steammocking:

It doesn't matter if you show people demonstrable proof, or literal leaked documents:

https://nationalpost.com/opinion/secret-rcmp-report-warns-canadians-may-revolt-once-they-realize-how-broke-they-are

https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24512494-rcmp-whole-of-government-five-year-trends-for-canada

People will still choose indoctrination; for whatever reason that may be. I'll shamelessly throw Molotov cocktails when ♥♥♥♥ hits the fan. Secret memorandums detailing that Canadians under 35 are unlikely to EVER own a home automatically disqualifies the point of working imo. What am I working towards if my freedom and independence is already unattainable? Burn it down- the corruption has gone too far

Really, politics is complete garbage. They always use money to corrupt the Earth. Politicians are becoming my enemies and I want them suffered in the prison cells. Everything they practice? They're trying to scare us. No longer am I scared. I'm not an anarchist, I just don't like politics... A WHOLE LOT!!!

Apart from the fact you feel I should be obligated to not post. On this free open forum. K?
Copping out is weak as you will see in yourself here.

And also the "illusions" are being generated from AI deep-fakes.

Oh, you're truly the epitome of strength and determination! It’s obvious how hard you've worked to achieve such... hmm... powerful internet bravery. The keyboard must be trembling under your fingers, feeling the sheer force of your unbreakable will.)))
