You like entering line breaks a lot. Weird.

Anyway - this is a big, complicated world. It can’t be reduced to a Manichaean contest between the forces of light and darkness. It works as a narrative in fantasy literature, and in some hands, like Tolkein, great fantasy literature. But it is not reality.

Let us take everyones favorite historical example, WW2, and Franklin Roosevelt. By most standards he was a horrible President. He kept the US in the Great Depression for half a decade longer than the rest of the world. And the US population cheered him for that, go figure.

But he was, in the end, instrumental in forcing a tolerable conclusion to a global disaster (WW2), and inadvertently, also finding a fix to the US domestic disaster that he had perpetuated. He died a national hero.

That is the nature of reality. Mixed motives, competing interests, truths that look different from 10,000 miles away, interactions not apparent from your front porch, but that can reach out and touch you regardless.

It helps to seek an education - not a useless college degree, but actual reading, and on the spot experience if you can get it. Wisdom comes from perspective, and perspective comes from information.

Ugh. So many of you pompous, condescending Youkazoids love accusing those who oppose your globalist bullshit of being uneducated. Ugh.

Again, I ask you why you, and all the other Youkazoids who comment on these threads, are so madly in love with the most corrupt nnation in Europe and are willing to jump through hoops and barrels to try defending it and the globalist/leftist/scumocrat/RINO pigs who are so intent on shoveling US taxpayers into that sinkhole? Please answer my question, Mr. Pompous Ass.
