So it sounds like you're saying things have just been getting progressively worse. That doesn't sound like much of a different perspective. There was a time when people were optimistic about the future, but granted that was a long

I'm not seeing anything about homelessness in the article you linked to. Just for perspective, here's the opposite side of the coin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-communist_mass_killings

That's not normal news, that's BECOME normal news. It's become more difficult to find informative, educational news without an agenda or tabloid spin.

It seems to be the case that if you give someone a bunch of money, they'll stop wanting to change the world for the better. There are thousands of billionaires who could each end hunger and homelessness but have chosen not to.

Beneficial for whom? Not American workers, just the business class. It's it's also iteresting that these accusations against China start popping up right about the time we've chosen to take an adversarial stance against them

"War is peace" sounds like classic 1984 doublespeak. For example, we could be working to partner with China on mutually beneficial agreements, but instead we're choosing to promote conflict because we'd rather be the win

A capitalist system that relies on ever expanding growth and profit to survive will always create imperialism and conflict over resources. There is no vision or long-term plan to these systems. A system based on this philosophy cannot and w

Ukraine doesn't have a navy or air force anymore and a large portion of their mechanized force has been taken out. You wouldn't know it by listening to western media though. European/NATO countries are increasing their milit

Judging by actions, it would seem primarily to be an offensive alliance. What's the point of its existence after the Cold War? Operation Gladio is another facet that seems to be much more offensive than defensive. https://en

Humans are collectivist by nature. It's why we've survived for so long and formed societies. People have to be taught to be divided which is why so much work has to be put into keeping things that way (ideology, class, race, ethni

Does anyone have a list of the actions NATO has taken since its inception?

The US has historically and currently benefited much more from unstable governments. Why do you think they've invested so much in making governments unstable? Especially if they're "unfriendly" to US business interests

We have compulsory schooling in the US with mandatory English. If kids don't go to school, they and their parents can go to jail. Also, you do realize the whole concentration camp thing is mostly propaganda to apply pressure to a geopo
