Quick thoughts:

When Democrat pedophiles are outed, they’ve been kicked out; Republican ones just get overlooked by their party and re-elected.

I don’t think it is out of some sort of greater good. On the blue team, I see it as them being cowards and not willing to risk the scandal, letting those that get separated or kicked out from the herd get eaten.

The red team is similar in that aspect; if they stray and cause a scandal, they will let them be eaten by wolves unless they have backing, then they may be forced to help out to keep on good terms.

The major difference is when the politician has populist backing. We can see this with some politicians when their base goes full force in going against the party line and sticking with their politician.

Trump and his backing accomplished this feat. The Republicans were against him, but he had his MAGA backing to keep him from being eaten and taken out by the party; they did try, though. Not to mention he is also an oligarch with backing, so in some aspects it may be corporatists versus oligarchs.

Kamala was a corporatist, and Trump was an oligarch.

Voting the lesser of two evils quotes:

1. “There’s a terrible danger in voting for the lesser of two evils because the parties can set it up that way.” – Hunter S. Thompson
2. “The two-party system is a bad joke on the American people; when it comes to Republicans and Democrats, remember they are two sides of the same coin. Voting for the lesser of two evils is still a vote for evil and not an answer to our problems. A vote for a Republican or a Democrat will not fix anything and is a wasted vote.” – Aaron Russo
3. “Constantly choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil.” – Jerry Garcia.
4. “Voting for the lesser of two evils is voting for your own enslavement.” – Gerald Celente
5. “Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.” – John Quincy Adams
6. “If you always vote for the lesser of two evils, you will always have evil, and you will always have less.” – Ralph Nader

but when we have a dictator in the White House, the political divide factor can’t be ignored either.

The only difference is that Trump is open with his dictator ways, but do not mistake that the duopoly will always work to help themselves and to let the working class die off.

liberals are not blind followers willing to overlook any sin

It seems you confused liberals with leftists.

Liberals are the vote blue no matter who peeps.

Putting aside the divide-and-conquer strategies of political leanings, I think we should focus on uniting the working class on the economic issues we agree on rather than waste our time debating what we don’t agree on.

Chris Smalls achieved uniting the working class in an Amazon warehouse in Staten Island when the Amazon Labor Union (ALU) was formed.

We all get emotional on certain topics; it is understandable.

All is well, peace.

Check out Highlights section.

Only five points.

Political tribalism works.

We must stop falling for the divide and conquer strategies of the duopoly (lackeys of the oligarchs).

“I would unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong.” – Frederick Douglass

Instead of fighting over political leanings, try to hear what their arguments are and see where you agree.

This will help us be willing to discuss and unify all working-class people on what views we share instead of just focusing on what we don’t agree on.

TLDW to TLDR…

A generated summary is included in the body.

I can’t help you more than that; I thought I made it easy enough to know what the video is a bit about.

Random thought I was reminded of:

You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink

I don’t agree with the way they think; it must be a boogeyman (bots, puppets, troll).

Self-built echo chambers and self-censorship are not healthy; we must be willing to continue learning from those that don’t think like we do.

Peace.

Edit:

1. Words, there -> it; added (bots, puppets, troll).

You do know what being on a platform is?

YouTube is another platform where deals are made with creators.

Nice try with your propaganda, though.

Peace.

I disagree with your Western pro-war talking points.

Again, Jeffrey Sachs and many others that are not pro-war explain the reasons for escalation.

You do know that the West has been bombing many countries for many decades, where millions of civilians have been killed.

We are not the good guys you think we are.

Check out the government lies and military cover-ups whistleblowers like Edward Snowden released.

We must always be critical of all governments and politicians (pawns of the oligarchy).

We must stop antagonizing other countries and learn to negotiate and have diplomacy.

Our leaders need to learn to talk with other non-Western leaders instead of pushing for more forever wars.

Again, our politicians and government will continue to spread propaganda so as to justify more profit-driven forever wars. Remember what happened in the Middle East and the lies of weapons of mass destruction.

Peace.

Thanks for the chat and th information you provided!

I see him as a comedian with populist opinions and rants.

Feel free to post critical videos on the JD community; all are welcome.

Don’t forget to have higher standards for politicians than for comedians.

The politicians (lackeys of oligarchs) are the ones with real power and influence to change our society for better or mostly for the worst.

All is well, peace.

I thought Glenn worked for Theil, is this video one of his slimy tricks? He said only elites fear Trump. That Bannon was a socialist. Even pretended to care about Palestinians, who are now being erased from existence.

Those just seem like smears from the duopoly (oligarch lackeys) loving apologetics (celebrity worshipper).

I wont watch the video. I have heard all I need to from that man.

The whole post and reason for it is about the video…

Weird people on forums hahaha.

I guess your reason for commenting on the post about a Glenn video is just to show how much you disagree with the way he thinks instead of your way of thinking.

All is well, thanks for commenting your disdain, peace.

Edit:

1. Words, apoliticals to apologetics (celebrity worshipper)

I am just showing everyone how of full of shit you are.

Yes, it seems that is the goal of many on forums.

Here is my mantra I try to uphold:

“We should focus our actions, time, and resources on Direct Action, Mutual Aid, and Community Outreach… No War but Class War!”

All is well, thanks for the small chat; peace!

I am done here.

Thanks for the small chat!

We all get emotional; it is understandable. I hope we can unite on other topics.

Like fixing the systematic economic problem our societies face, that would be great.

All is well, Peace.

Nice try, but that won’t work with me.

Again with the desperate gatekeeping.

I will state again:

Ah, you also like to use Douglas Murray’s desperate attempts at gatekeeping what people can and can’t talk about.

I have not been to Palestine, nor do I speak Arabic, but I fully support the Palestinian people, and I know what my country is doing is fully supporting a genocide.

I don’t need to visit a certain country or speak any language to be able to see what is really going on.

More forever wars where the working class is sent to die while the oligarchs sit back and take all the important resources.

Having misspellings and typos is your concern…

Weird, but you do you.

FYI: You also edited your comment, but you did not mention the edit…

Also, being exposed to only Western propaganda is not the honor you seem to believe it is.

We can all come to certain conclusions without needing (your preferred boogeyman) making us a puppet, bot, or brainwashed.

Just check out the Uhuru movement:

tankie bullshit

Liberal…

I thought this was a progressive community.

We, the United States, are provoking Russia, Iran, and China.

We have been for decades.

Russia with NATO enlargement.

China with Taiwan.

Iran with Israel (Greater Israel project).

Professor Jeffrey Sachs explains it in simple terms; you should check him out.

Edit:

1. Word:, Palestine, Palestinian

It seems the divide and conquer strategy still works really well.

Glenn Greenwald is not a perfect person, but we cannot deny his great work as a journalist, his work with Snowden, and his continued integrity with his show, System Update.

Is the problem with him political tribalism, maybe due to him not supporting your preferred party (duopoly, blue or red team), or the distractions from the oligarchy (culture wars and identity politics, instead of focusing on addressing our society’s systematic economic issues)?

I think he is worth uniting with.

“I would unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong.” – Frederick Douglass

Anyway, thanks for the link. I have heard of them, but I am not familiar.

Quick info. about video:

Part One: How Peter Thiel Became the Gravedigger of Democracy [01:11:59 | OCT 30 2025 | Behind the Bastards]

Generated Summary:

Main Topic:

The video, “Part One: How Peter Thiel Became the Gravedigger of Democracy,” explores the early life and formative experiences of Peter Thiel, aiming to understand the origins of his controversial political views and actions.

Key Points:

• Peter Thiel’s Background: The hosts discuss Thiel’s upbringing, including his birth in Germany, his family’s move to Cleveland due to his father’s work in the oil and gas industry, and a subsequent move to Namibia (Southwest Africa) where his father worked at a uranium mine during the apartheid era.
• Family Influences: The video touches on the differing accounts of Thiel’s parents’ political leanings (Republican vs. Christian conservatives) and the impact of a specific childhood conversation about death.
• Early Personality and Interests: Thiel is portrayed as an intelligent but somewhat isolated child who excelled academically, enjoyed chess, and was deeply immersed in fantasy literature like “The Lord of the Rings” and Dungeons and Dragons.
• Libertarianism and Anti-Communism: The video highlights Thiel’s development of libertarian and anti-communist views, influenced by Ayn Rand and the political climate of Silicon Valley.
• Experiences with Bullying: The hosts discuss how Thiel was bullied as a child, which may have contributed to his misanthropic views.
• Emphasis on Education: The video emphasizes the pressure Thiel felt to succeed academically and attend a prestigious university.

Highlights:

• The discussion of Thiel’s father’s involvement with a uranium mine in Namibia during apartheid, drawing a parallel between Thiel’s childhood and a “supervillain origin story.”
• The anecdote about Thiel’s intense reaction to losing a chess match, even a scrimmage, suggesting a deep-seated need to win.
• The characterization of Thiel as a “wizard” figure by his peers, someone who was admired but also seen as fundamentally separate and unknowable.
• The mention of Thiel’s later-in-life interest in anti-aging research and technologies.

I understand why the highly emotional response; we all have our subject that is dear to us. Mine is the Palestine genocide that is funded and fully supported by my country, the United States.

Fuck Glenn Greenwald. He is a russian shill and supports russian genocidal

I would implore you to stop only consuming Western pro-war propaganda and check out people like Professor Jeffrey Sachs.

He outlines, in simple terms, the events that led to the war between Ukraine and Russia, as well as the Western push to also antagonize Iran and China.

Self-built echo chambers and self-censorship are not healthy, nor do they help our society; we must always be critical of our governments and the politicians (paid-off lackeys of the owner class, oligarchs).
