“Meme” the word should be banished. It’s overused and non-specific.

Just another secular “There is no good, there is no evil” person.

“There are no “good guys” or “bad guys” in real life, either in our personal lives or in international affairs”

Right, I hope you meet up with Isis and explain that to them. What a load of crap.

She is very articulate ... but not very intelligent.

She banned me on Twatter. She demanded I explain what she thought was a psyop to support US intervention in Iran.

I told her I wasn’t going to do that but if she wanted to make the argument, go for it. It was about the Q Qult grifters, I said go ahead.

So she blocked me on Twatter. She demanded an explanation and I said, nah.
It’s your position you nitwit Caitlin Johnstone, so you prove it.

Now it’s immaterial as the Q Qult has outed itself over and over as nothing but a failure while making money by the authors-”decoders.”

President Trump disappointed her plan by not doing anything using the military against Iran.

Yeah, she is spouting relativistic drivel. If you don’t “like” Hitler, I guess it is just a meaningless subjective quirk on your part. I guess as the Nazis killed millions of people no one was supposed to judge - Hitler just had a different point of view and no one can know right from wrong.

Are we supposed to care what an Aussie’s opinion of America is?

This pic sums up the mental state of Cait Johnstone, the self-described “rogue journalist, bogan socialist, anarcho-psychonaut, guerrilla poet, Utopia prepper,” ad nauseam.

Sorry Caitlin, America IS the good guy. If you dont like it, EFF you.

The US Constutution represents the best hope for humanity on this planet.

We just fail to live up to it at times, because we are all flawed human beings.

But we keep at it because it’s the best way to go.

"Even if by some miracle Bernie Sanders or Tulsi Gabbard overcome the rightward-slanted DNC nomination process..."

I'm at a loss for words.

I’m as against American interventionism as any, but there are certainly bad and/or evil people in this world; some of them are tinpot dictators, some are seemingly ordinary people, and some happen to work in our government.

*** I’m as against American interventionism as any, but there are certainly bad and/or evil people in this world; some of them are tinpot dictators, some are seemingly ordinary people, and some happen to work in our government.***

And I pray that finally some of those evil people, no matter who, are exposed and punished with the arrest of Jeffrey Epstein. Would probably go a long ways in “draining the swamp”.

Lewis Carroll used opium to write stories like Alice and Through the Looking Glass. She must be a test subject for the psilocybin trial. This can’t be from a healthy functioning mind. It’s further out there than Charles Manson.

I'd tell her that we are going to have to kill all the ones who believe in "fair", rather than free. However, it's pointless.

Anyone with an IQ above 100 already knows, and anyone with an IQ under won't admit it.

Call me simplistic, but I think there are good guys and bad guys. Sure some good guys do some bad things, and vice versa, but it’s fairly easy to tell by their actions IMO.

Kill babies and you are bad, no matter how many dogs you rescue, for examole

Atoms swirl, cells cluster, and life lifes away as this strange new species stumbles around trying to make sense of the world with its recently evolved extra gray matter and the capacity for abstract thought which comes with it. It has some successes and many failures in trying to figure out how to make living on this spinning rock a little more harmonious, and it will either succeed or it will fail.

What a load of atheistic garbage. There IS a moral standard, far above humanity, in the personhood of God. We are NOT just "atoms swirl[ing]." Mankind WILL be judged. One day very soon, she and ALL will find out.
