Thread: The Obama Presidency

  1. #10951
    I really have to wonder if every great nation that becomes more authoritarian is like this? Not to invoke Godwin's law, but do you think Nazi Germany was like this? Do you think that the majority of the politicians at the time thought that everything was ok because it was business as usual? The system was functioning, people were going to work, and Hitler and company were just this years new fellow employees? The new elected officials to either be used for goals or to help the machine work?

    At what point do people realize something is wrong despite the wheels are still turning? Machines and mechanisms don't often just fail spectacularly without cause. They usually peter along, getting worse and worse until something that holds many things together fails, and the whole things finally goes to shit.

  3. It's almost retardedly apparent which industry has the most sway over the executive branch:

  4. I should stop reading this. It honestly puts me into an angry state.
    Check out Mr. Businessman
    He bought some wild, wild life
    On the way to the stock exchange
    He got some wild, wild life

  5. That's probably how you should be feeling.

    Yea, I don't think people realize anything is wrong until it is "too late." Versailles was an awesome place to be until the guillotines were rolled out. There are very few exceptions to this. The most notable is that the English realized their worldwide empire was not sustainable and chose to dismantle it (mostly) peacefully.

  7. I don't think economic decline, bald pussy, and increased government control is a good combination.
