Great ad and great comment to go with it. Thanks for posting both. BTTT!
CIVILIZATION
Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savages whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.
The precondition of a civilized society is the barring of physical force from social relationshipsthus establishing the principle that if men wish to deal with one another, they may do so only by means of reason: by discussion, persuasion and voluntary, uncoerced agreement.
The necessary consequence of mans right to life is his right to self-defense. In a civilized society, force may be used only in retaliation and only against those who initiate its use.
Ayn Rand
INDIVIDUAL right to life, defense of that life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness. When the collective, gang, tribe, socialists, marxists, maoists, mohammedans, morons ATTACK that with tacit approval by many “representatives” you know that the S has HTF.
BE PREPARED. Lock arms, ammo, best practices with like-minded individuals in cities, suburbs and countryside.
live - free - republic
DEPOPULATE aforementioned from the body politic and the planet when necessary.
Lots.....hmmmm. Let’s say 1.5 out of 10. Might be too optimistic, then again they are liberals. Most I know don’t vote at all.
What we are up against.

Shortcomings of Individualism
As a capitalist country, the US social system is built on the belief that individual interests should prevail over that of any social group. In contrast to individualism, collectivism is a set of beliefs that prioritizes groups over individuals. China is an example of a collectivist society.
In China, during the lockdown, going out casually was equivalent to causing trouble to the whole country. The whole country followed the command of the central government to stay at home as much as possible.
I dont even remember how many times my temperature got checked, Hu, my high school classmates posted on WeChat after he went outside for grocery shopping.
In the United States, on the other hand, many people are still leaving their homes for non-essential reasons going out for runs or walking their dogs without wearing masks even now during the self-quarantine period. Some Americans are still going to church every Sunday, further contributing to the rapid spread of the virus in the country.
They think its their freedom to go outside and they think forcing them to stay home all day violates their basic human rights, said Ho, a 46 years old Chinese male immigrant. In general, Americans have no idea of social groups and collectivism, he added.
Neither individualism, nor collectivism is intrinsically better than the other. Both models have their advantages and disadvantages. However, it is becoming clear that the American individualist framework is unsuited for coping with a pandemic.
The U.S. may end up less individualistic after the coronavirus pandemic, Mark Travers, an expert on psychology and survey research, said.

A more mature response would be based on mutual civilizational respect, askingwhat can we learn from what the Chinese are doing, how can we help them, and how can they help us to keep up as they create their brave new world?
I sent an email to the WH just yesterday suggesting that something need to happen and that he needed to frame the issue like Gingrich had farmed it. Biden+Pelosi+Schumer= death of the USA under our constitution.
I said that patriots were beginning to despair and needed to know things were happening.
So the Orange madman does this......
I'm going to be more careful from now on. It's like the joke about two neighbors who were comparing the results of making a wish with a genie who was somewhat hard of hearing: Neighbor 1. What happened that you have all this duckpoot all over your lawn. Neighbor 2. That genie you gave me was obviously hard of hearing. I didn't ask for a Million ducks. Neighbor 1. Tell me about it. I certainly didn't ask for a ten-inch pianist.
Disagree completely.
It's letter perfect.
In this case yes. The Democrats have not forgiven the Bush Administration for the war in Iraq and the war on Terror, and are making an alliance of convenience with them to defeat Trump. Once Trump is defeated, they will go after both Trump AND Bush, tea partiers and neocons alike. They will also go after the moderates in the Democrat party.
And thus, Americans will embrace the coming "Social Credit" system that China is currently implementing. This is all about conditioning them for it.
I utterly disagree with that premise. A social system, and organization is just as important to economic liberty and prosperity as it is to a person's liberty and happiness. The difference is that communists, socialsts and bureaucro-fascists in DC believe in centralized planning.
The problem with central planning is that it lacks felxibility and the ability to correct when it is wrong. It prohibits individual initiative necessary to make any project work.
The American system relies much more on a constant ongoing negotiation between individual members of a social or economic unit at a local level and that bigger organization. It's a constantly swinging pendulum. General MacArthur argued why that contributed to American military success over better organized, equipped and trained armies.
If someone doesn't like his position he was free to bolt to a mountain top in Idaho, until Reno decided this was a threat to western civilization and called in FBI snipers.
It's a scary system to those who don't understand it. It always seems like it's about to lurch out of control and go over the edge - which it will when the idiots who think they can run everything from Washington DC get totalitarian control.
Thanks for posting. Enemies domestic, enemies foreign. Against all. Domestic - go back to your mommy’s basement or get spanked. Foreign - deal with your own totalitarianism or get spanked.
Asymmetric assault on the republic IN PROGRESS.
Oh that's not the democrats. They made out like bandits on the deal. Bush gave them all the social programs they wanted and gave the crony capitalists all the graft they could swallow if they just went along with it.
It's conservatives that cannot forgive Bush for what he did to our country through those actions.
“And thus, Americans will embrace the coming “Social Credit” system that China is currently implementing. This is all about conditioning them for it.”
Flip it on them. Looking over many homegrown internal’s socialist/totalitarianism score is off the charts, therefore we strive to eliminate them from the body politic and our lives. C’mon November.
I utterly disagree with that premise.
As do I. The entire article is filled with false premise, much like Barry’s “charter of negative liberties” (Constitution) ask not what your country can do for you, ask what your country can do to you.
Awesome but those tweets need to be also on television and cable and on YouTube like Biden’s ad every 5 minutes
Another great thread...I bookmarked it
We have 5 months to go !
