It seems you picked up that I'm not trusting of man. Part of the problem is, I am one, which is part of why I so value Him, His Word, His Spirit...
Completely agree.

And even in disagreement you are reasonable, I think it comes from this position you maintain, of not being too emotionally invested when trusting.

Very wise.

Make it, make sense, not possible.
Churches have been infiltrated too, I guess.

I see so many parallels to Weimer Republic, leading to the authoritarian state which followed.

God forbid anyone challenge their own suppositions, no they have to label you a socialist or an a*ti-se***te engage in ad. hom. >>>> rarely is there a real rebuttal.

The psychology of it is fascinating, in a tragic sort of way.
Good one Canadian.
Say something inflammatory and then run and hide. This is an old and tired leftist tactic.

Yes, but Studier, most people are not like you, they just complacently believe and trust what they are told.
lol Says the avid Alex Jones follower who belives that the Trump assasination attempt was a hoax.
You're a hilarious meme Canadian.

Ahahah another leftist tactic of "emotions".
Say something inflammatory, run away and then pretend to be calm.
If you and the left was so calm then you wouldn't follow any conspiracy theories , burn the streets and then try to muzzle free speech "dispassionally".
You're hilarious Canadian.

In the past week I know several family friends and acquaintances who are being affected negatively by the tariffs. They're definitely not beneficial to American workers or businesses.

One of the most depressing things one can do is take a drive through the heart of Gary, Indiana, it really is something to see. Certainly the politicians severely underestimated the ability of China to develop the way that it did.

I agree with your post, however I think my view is in line with Mearshiemer's theory of offensive realism .... America will do what it takes to preserve its hegemony.

The other question can China rise peacefully and the USA decline peacefully?
History supports conflict as the pattern.

The USA has seriously faltered in putting its people first, sad but true, Vance is a much scarier proposition....to me, DT is all over the map and I am no longer convinced he is able to deal with the "swamp" ... "blob" ... 'the security state."
Trump and his regime are the swamp.
One of his primary tactics to get his followers/supporters not to scrutinize him, is to accuse others of the very thing he's guilty of himself.
As for China, they have rose to prominence in incredibly brilliant and strategic ways.
America might want to take a few cues from a 5,000 year old civilization and change direction before it's too late.

I am appalled that some Christians in the USA still cannot admit there is a genocide being executed and continue to defend this imperialism on steroids with the invasion of Iran as "peace through strength" as I was just told.

Christians have lost their credibility never mind America.

Apparently not wanting babies/children, while they were already injured on the ground, shot again by snipers bullet makes me a Debbie Downer. Unbelievable

People here are fully indoctrinated, it is pointless. They actually believed the lie of 40 babies that were beheaded or something like that.
Whatever happened on Oct 7th was extremely vile and there has be justice
But wiping out Palestinians like insects to supposedly stop Hamas is excessive

After 1948 many Christians were displaced (became refugees) but some did remain... their lives do not matter either though.
The Christian community in Palestine seems to be largely ignored by many evangelicals.

America started out with a non-interventionalist policy about getting involved with foreign conflicts.
It would be right and Biblical to follow that ideal.

However, the love of money is the root of all evil. Politicians love it so much, they will work for Israeli government and provide them US tax $ in return. Both the politicians and the oligarchs behind Zionism are making plenty from their investments in the military industries. They don't even invest their own money. They just reap the profits .

So the guy who portrays himself as a "ghost buster" a movie about the occult and demon possession encourages us to scrutinize Trump and his regime. OK, but first I would like to scrutinize this guy in the occult who calls himself a true_believer. He tells us that Trump's tactic is to accuse others of the very thing he is guilty of. Perhaps that is the tactic of the occult and this guy from ghost buster. The same guy who is accusing Trump of being the swamp wants us to imitate China and the CCP. The question I have is if Trump and his regime is the swamp why is a swamp creature like this occult embracing "ghost buster" who disguises himself as a "true believer", why is a swamp creature like this have problems with the swamp?

Yes, it does go that way sometimes.
Weird thing is sometimes the person has little to no credibility and people still fall for the lies.
Like the lie of "no more wars."
Your whole ideology is built on a lie. In fact your ideology is built on delusions.

You're not appalled.
You just want recognition badly, trying hard to fit-in but the thing is that nobody asks Canada for anything involving military.
USA does the heavy lifting for Europe, Canada and the whole world.
It's not easy being number 1 but these are the burdens of an empire.
