Chuck Jones represented some of the union members whose jobs Trump "saved" in Indiana, only it turned out that around 400 of the ones Trump claimed he saved actually weren't saved after all. Jones pointed this out. Trump, for whom truth is what holy water is to demons, throws a twitter-tantrum
People don't want freedom. Freedom is scary. In real freedom you could starve to death or get mauled by a polar bear. What people ultimately crave is safety, security and comfort. Millenia of evolution has wired our brains to seek safety. We really only want just enough freedom to be comfortable and not be bossed around too much. So it's only natural as this world seems to become more uncertain, feeble people will flock to the strongmen. It's scary to think of this turning into a vicious cycle. As the strongmen create more instability and fear it only makes the people more dependent on the strongman's protection. It's similar to the dynamics of a battered wife and abusive husband.
Sorry, man. Like the French philosopher Albert Camus upon being notified he'd won the Nobel Prize, I declined. Time may or may not have published my refusal, I don't know. It was 750 pages, so it would've made the magazine thicker than usual.
A bit of a bias website, but the CIA is not really a saint. Like when we overthrow democratic elected Presidents in Chile. https://www.democracynow.org/2003/9/11/sept_11_1973_a_cia_backed
Well he is covering his ass and doing what Trump does best and will do as President, do and say what is best for Trump inc. over anything else. I just don't want to fall to the idea that the CIA is always right and always good.
The left right now is basically a circular firing squad doing purity testing and privilege measurements before they act. So not gonna happen.
There are two different CIAs. There is the analysis side, which is usually pretty good, and the operations side, which is usually horrible.
