Hey Second. You alright, buddy? by 6ixStringJack

ORIGINAL THREAD TITLE:

I think Second needs an intervention. Not joking or trolling.

ORIGINAL POST:

This type of stuff has gone on for years with varying frequency. Sometimes it could be a whole year without anything out of Second that I found... troublesome.

I think it's hitting Reaverfan levels again, and needs to be dialed back a bit.

Biden won't be able to kill Hitler or Trump because Biden is such a pussy.

Democrats say Trump is an existential threat. They're not acting like it.

JAYNEZTOWN

butted with Second but its mostly over linking to pirated material or quoting entire paragraphs of other people's writing

The religion thing is a show, what has the Joe Biden Admin done to support the 'Decree Against Communism'?

In another time Biden would have been excommunicated by the Church until he repented and found God again or they would ban communication with him.
The Church has been changing it is morphing into something else

Here is a Catholic story

not that I support religion but it is how some show their faith

'In a gory tradition, 8 Filipinos nailed to crosses despite Catholic church's objection'
https://usatoday.com/

Quote:
In a news conference shortly after his brief crucifixion, Enaje said he prayed for the eradication of the COVID-19 virus and the end of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which has contributed to gas and food prices soaring worldwide.

I'm not an expert on the Catholic thing but I have known Catholics

With the Church there have been fighting and rifts

If you look at modern tradition JFK was Anti-Communist stopping the Russians going to Cuba with missiles, he wanted to stay ahead of the Soviets on tech in comparison Biden looks weak compared to JFK, Pope John Paul II in his own way fought against Communism, Catholics in Italy were said to to speak enough against Hitler but a large number of Jews were saved by Catholics from Nazis, a lot of people accuse the Catholics of not doing enough in WW2 while the Italians said they were divorced from Italian nationalism. Before the Great Wars the German Catholics opposed the German Unification, as they wished to preserve the independence of German nations, Catholics campaigned trafficking of kids to work camps and to end 'child labour' in European sweat shops and mills and end it in the United States, Catholics are all around many of Conservative Party of Europe, those in Spain, Germany, France, Switzerland, but not Britian England where Catholics are associated with the Celtic Scottish tradition, there are ethnic historic tensions between British Anglo Evangelical Protestants and Scotland Roman Catholics, you see how they view politics differently during the Brexit vote with Scotland more Pro-Europe pro-Rome pro-Brussells pro-German pro-French trade for example while England is votes more in a position against the EU supranational political and economic union bloc. Catholics are in Slovak National People's type Party – 1918
Croatian Populism Party, Australian Labour Conservative Movements. There were a bunch of priests that were active against Communists in Latin America names like Coughlin, Patrick Peyton, a Decree Against Communism was a 1949 Catholic Church document, Pius XI rejected atheistic communism in an encyclical entitled Divini Redemptoris as "a system full of errors and sophisms". There is also Opus Dei is a group that has significant controversy regarding its political activities and its alleged cult-like practices.

The Catholic Church has a 'head' THE POPE not a King or Emperor but a supreme pontiff, visible head of the worldwide Catholic Church, it has a small powerful sovereign country, city-state, microstate, its own Biblical 'Canon' it decides what is acceptable and true as texts, some books or chapters are added some are removed as contradictory doctrines, it can agree with Protestantism at times, Jewish Texts, Judasism writing the the Hebrew Bible, Anglican or Lutheran, the Russian Greek Armenia Orthodox, Syriac Coptic, Africa Tewahedo, Syrian Babylonian Persian Church of the East but the Catholics have many different books.
'Maccabees' is a no for them, Enoch is not acceptable,
Letter of Jeremiah is acceptable, Additions to Daniel is accepted, Tobit, Thessalonians, Hebrews, Revelations, Jude, Romans are true 'Canonicity' and Zechariah Deuterocanonical.

Roman Catholic life is dying the Vatican culture dying, it may reform itself and be reborn. The USA with European immigrants replacing the Native American in ages of exploration and conquest did not promote Catholic ideas, it was a WASP nation but with some offshoots, Quaker, Diest etc Catholics were small and not a 'Lobby' later Andrew Jackson and Henry Clay would seek their vote, the Portuguese, French and Spanish and others helped spread the Catholic culture, later other immigrants.
What has Biden done for the life of the unborn baby, how has he spread the Catholic faith what painting and Cathedrals has he indirectly supported or indirectly funded funded I know they like to instead support Antifa BLM burning down cities, how Religiously Conservative is the family?
The drunken drugged out College Fraternity, Lodges and Sisterhoods, people dressing in robes at Bohemian Grove or the Catholic Church prohibited Catholics from membership in Masonic organizations and other secret societies in 1738 at least eleven popes have made pronouncements about the incompatibility of Catholic doctrines and Freemasonry. As mohammedanism spread the Catholic Church would have seen Mohammed or Moohammad or Mahomet as the 'Anti-Christ' a mad man who speaks to a demon or devil, many US founding fathers like Jefferson might have thought in a similar way after reading the Quran or Koran. Catholics still practice media and verbal Marooning the intentional act of abandoning someone and casting them out and exiling them from talk and media, the excommunicated person is considered by Catholic ecclesiastical authority as an exile from the Church, some are excommunicated for apostasy, heresy or schism .

Biden's no real Catholic, he's perhaps In-Name-Only one of these modern pseudo Catholics, sure they were cruel the type that might have once almost burned you for being a Witch but the old Roman Catholic were not into the old boy Masonic clubs they did have offshoot secret society 'Jesuit' linked but traditional Catholics you would find in Latin America, Poland, Ireland, Spain, Italy... Catholics were Traditional Democrats others as the Democrats went more Neo-Liberal were seeking the Republican Party, they had a good flavor of Rome Culture Imperialism the spread of thought and a church on every Continent on Earth, you look at the south Pole Antarctica and you even have Churches down there, the Vatican they would put Churches on the Moon, Maercury, Mars and the Moons of Saturn and Jupiter and Neptune if they could. In early USA there was reliance on Catholic France for military, financial, and diplomatic aid. One of the strongest parties in early America was an Anti-Masonic party, there was also push against the spread of Catholic ideas by the short-lived Know Nothings party in the 1850s, African churches had their own unique flavor some Africans were Catholic some were from British colonies and Evangelical, some free African Americans mixed Afrcian and Caribbean tradition practiced Hoodoo or Voodoo for a time the KKK was Anti-Catholic maybe they have changed seeing Catholics make so many 'White Babies' when the Civil War broke out heavy enlistments of immigrants the Irish and Germans into the Union Army helped to dispel notions of immigrant and Catholic disloyalty. It has mstarted to move away from the Democrat party, almost half of the members of the Republican coalition were Catholic.

Catholics support babies they are pro-life and will very rarely kill the child, they have centuries of song and art in record, they are not Zionists either the main things that distinguishes Catholicism from other denominations is adherence to a unified set of beliefs and “pro-choice” is antithetical, Biden said he was Catholic to try lure votes the politically religious might say he shouldn’t be allowed to say he’s catholic, a phrase like “Former Catholic” or Atheist President might have cost him support.

His son did he go to 'Catholic Confession' ask for religion guidance after so much sin, so many hookers, guns, drugs you name it.

The Catholic Church might also be near its end, the Vatican supporting islamist invaders jihadi immigration into the West, each Pope with perverted agenda and the Vatican might never record from so many pedophile scandals, Boston, Rome, Canberra, Melbourne, Dublin, Sydney, New York, the church and Vatican would even move abuser Priests around to try and 'cover up'

With Neo-Democrats you have almost entered the world of anything goes, its not JFK times anymore and Catholics are not an abused minority today, Pelosi is another part of four families that have ruled California for over 100 years, she says she is religious but its another political game that they tout their Catholicism and yet support things totally against Church teachings. Pushing the transexual stuff into kids schools might have cost the Democrat party the Traditional Catholic vote forever.

The deranged thinking of Trumptards causes tragedy for themselves and sometimes for others. From the lives of my next door neighbors, the Trumptards:
1) The eldest son was sentenced to 10 years in Texas prison for negligent homicide.
2) The youngest son was in Galveston jail for a year for attempted theft of a parked car.
3) The mother was poisoned with ethylene glycol in her tea. Accident? Suicide? Murder? Never decided by the Baytown police detectives. I saw the autopsy report.
4) The father died from the delayed effects of a one car crash less than a mile from home.
I could see that these Trumptards' heuristic rules for living in America would cause the random deaths and tragedies, but the Trumptards went merrily along, blissfully ignorant, proud to support Trump, until reality stomped on them.

My sister has Trumptards living across the street from her. She watched how stupidly they lived and how they never anticipated the deaths and tragedies that inevitably hit people who are idiotic but think of themselves as smart. The bank intervened to evict the Trumptards so my sister won't get to see their dramatic and foolish ending. Maybe their end won't be as sad as my neighbors' finale but Trump winning will not fix what is wrong with his Trumptards' lives.

As for the Russians, they are living like idiots, supportive of Putin, and they are murdering people in Ukraine. Will the Russians go to jail for what they did? There is not a prison big enough to hold them all. Their lives are being wasted because of their deranged thinking. The Russians are ruining their neighborhood. If Russians do conquer Ukraine, the victory will not fix what is wrong with their lives.

I noticed this story about a Trumptard: Candace Owens Describes Science as 'Pagan Faith'
https://www.newsweek.com/candace-owens-science-pagan-faith-christianit
y-podcast-1920510
It is fascinating to read about the deranged thinking of Trumptards. Owens said, "And I said to him: 'Listen. I'm not a flat-earther. I'm not a round-earther.' Actually, what I am is, I am somebody who has left the cult of science. I have left the megachurch of science because what I have now realized is that science—what it is actually, if you think about it—is a pagan faith." Poor Owens. I see many avoidable yet completely inevitable tragedies in her future because of her style of thinking.

Larry died September 4, 2018. He said Trump was his man. His son, Levi, was booked into Galveston Jail on March 05, 2019. Being dead, ill or just crazy tends to impoverish. You can see in statistics:

Trump carried 2497 counties that together generate 29% of the American economy; Biden took 477 counties that generate 70% of U.S. GDP. Why? Because of who Trumptards are.

A lot of that is farm land.

Maybe we should just split everything up.

You can have the computer chips and newspapers and lawyers.

We'll have all the food and people who know how to build and fix everything that you take for granted everyday.

I've heard Trumptards claim that without their cattle, corn, cotton, and natural gas the Libtards would starve, walk around naked, and freeze in the dark. Saying it makes the Trumptards feel morally superior about being poor and drunken. The Russians threaten to nuke the West because saying it makes the Russians feel powerful instead of depressed about being poor drunks playing Russian Roulette.

I'm not saying that you'd starve. And I'm certainly not trying to make any arguments about moral superiority here either. Just basic facts about needs vs. wants, who produces what, and at what cost. We live in a country where basic necessities are so dirt cheap in most economic situations that most people just take every one of them for granted. Most people have zero understanding how any of it works. Not just food production, but every modern convenience from plumbing to electricity too.

The entire society that we've built is ALL man-made, and enough generations have passed now where most people who don't work the jobs keeping everything running think it's all magic and never even consider why things are the way they are or how anything works.

If we really split up, things would change pretty fast and those little county wealth stats you're flaunting right now would change virtually overnight. Who's to say how far things ultimately change and where all the chips might fall? But believing that they'd resemble anything similar to what you're providing today isn't something one could reasonably do.

You'd have to buy all of our food at 10 times the price you're paying for it now. 20 times more maybe. Or go buy Russia's if you don't like it. I don't care where you get it. We know none of you are going to learn how to grow anything and you sure as shit aren't going to hunt what you eat.

Where are you even going to get replenishable sources of food that would sustain 150 Million or so people? Would you prefer to hunt in the burnt down forests or on the concrete blocks? I don't care what Democrats say, you've got a lot of meat eaters too. I hope they like deer.

Meanwhile, I'll keep buying my tech on the cheap from Asian countries. That's where most of it is made anyways. We're still going to be able to do that because Florida is coming with us and we'll have plenty of ports available.

Have fun paying for the Chip Act. We won't be paying for that or any federal taxes anymore in this fictional future were we're going to see who has the bigger dick.

And watch that money you supposedly make every year dry up real quick when the half of the country that produces all the food, and builds and fixes everything that people need to live in our modern-take-everything-for-granted society are all paying their income taxes to a new Federation. Have fun paying double on your taxes to continue to employ the bloated, wasteful, anti-meritocracy public sector when all you do is produce the things that people only have time to care about because life is just so goddamned easy in America in 2024.

The good news is, I don't think any of you paying all those taxes would abide such wasteful spending anymore, and if people still choose to go to college they're going to want to go there for a good goddamned reason and not for some liberal arts degree that isn't going to land them a job anywhere doing anything that AI can't already do better when they graduate with soul-crushing debt.

Life in your split-up future is easy for nobody.

You can't live without the food and utilities and all the labor and maintenance that are only so cheap for you and everybody else right now because it's all subsidized on American Government Debt. If all of those people got paid what they deserved to be paid and all the people providing the "Wants" didn't get paid the grossly exorbitant amounts like the lawyers and doctors and actors and athletes get, those county numbers will be proven to be the fairy tale they are.

"Only in America". For how long?

Hopefully there are some bigger brains running the Democratic party than yours that weigh all of this out before getting the Legacy Media to rile all of you up into doing something really stupid and possibly irredeemable.

Oh... and P.S. I know that Bill Gates is buying up all the farmland. Maybe somebody already considered this potential future and it is exactly why he's doing it.

But it will be funny seeing him try to take "his" land in this alternate timeline. Unless he were looking for a bloody war, he may as well have been buying real estate on the moon.

Somebody should buy Bill a digital copy of Bloody Williamson for his birthday and see what happens when people have their backs to the wall.

Bloody Williamson

https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/3991/bloody-williamson-by-pau
l-m-angle/

Quote:
This is a horror story of native American violence. It carries a grim lesson for the whole country. Political doctrines have played no part in the violence and murder that have brought much ill fame to one corner of Illinois. On the map, Williamson is just another county. But in history it is a place in which a strange disease has raged for more than eighty years—a disease marked by a pathological tendency to settle differences by force.

Fascinated by this, Paul M. Angle, the well-known historian, set out to discover what really had happened. Through enormous research he has been able to reconstruct the whole story in all its horrible, scarifying detail. Using the best techniques of reportage, without editorializing, without subjective coloration, he has produced a narrative beyond imagination. It begins with the “Bloody Vendetta,” a feud that rampaged in the 1870s. It deals with labor’s success in organizing coal mines in southern Illinois, an affair that twice blew up in violence. It covers the Herrin Massacre of 1922—perhaps the most shocking episode in the history of organized labor in this country—and the subsequent trials. The Ku Klux Klan provides material for four chapters that come to a climax in a fatal duel between the Klan and its opponents. And it ends with the story of the gang war between Charlie Birger and the Shelton brothers. It is a tale to shake the most phlegmatic reader.

It shouldn't need to be said, but I'm not referring to the Ku Klux Klan part of the story that Bill should read as an example. It's about the labor and the coal mines.

Just need to head off Second from going on a dumb tangent before it happens is all.

4) The father died from the delayed effects of a one car crash less than a mile from home.

Which is the real version?

The mother died long before Trump was a candidate. No way to tell how SHE felt about Trump.

The father died from the delayed effects of a car crash. You're careful to report it was close to home (most car crashes are) but fail to report who, or what, was at fault.

One son was sentenced to 10 years in jail. Was this long beford Trump, too? Or was this the other son?

The way you snip little pieces to post and leave others out makes me think you're lying, again. That is, if you haven't just made this up whole cloth.

****
Here, tho, is a true cautionary tale

Mom was raised by an aunt who not only threw popcorn on the floor and made her wards fight for it "like dogs", she let her boyfriends sexually abuse the girls.

This left the one I'll call Caroline so traumatized and starved for love, she hooked up with any man who said he loved her.

Two children but no marriage later, Caroline is living in her car and desperate for a job when we hire her out of charity.

She gets arrested for resisting arrest bc, unbeknownst to her, there was an outstanding warrant on the car- and her- collected by her sister while using Caroline's car and driver's license.

We first hear about it bc Caroline failed to pick her children up from school, so we had to take them in over a long Thanksgiving weekend and try to reassure them. The "resistjng arrest" came about most likely she was drinking, at times heavily, and didn't have good judgement anyway.

At some point, she marries a charmer with a drug problem, moves in with him and then gets evicted a year later bc he was supposed to be pzying the rent but was in reality putting it up his nose. She and her children come to live with us.

Her husband is arrested for murder.

The final straw, and the thing that gets her fired, is letting her husband, who owed money to his dealers, sleep in her car in our neighborhood.

One girl gets taken in by her dads family and we lose track of her. The other girl gets seriously into debt having her car repaired after it was stolen and trashed.

She gets a job where her aunt works as a medical transcriptionist, and also shares her aunt's drug habit. Last I knew, she was doing twelve steps.

I learned that if someone is determinedto flush their lives down the toilet, no amount of help can stop them.

The rest of the story is lost to us.

Hopefully there are some bigger brains running the Democratic party than yours that weigh all of this out before getting the Legacy Media to rile all of you up into doing something really stupid and possibly irredeemable.

Trumptards, Confederates (1861) and Russians felt superior and claimed to be surrounded by inferiors who hated them. In reality, the economic performance of all three was mediocre to poor because they were paranoid and foolish. At first, the Confederates went from victory to victory, year after year (so much triumph!) but ultimately failed in robbing the North with its slightly larger economy. At first, the Russians went from victory to victory (so much triumph!) but are now struggling to rob weak Ukraine with its much smaller economy. When the Trumptards try to rob the part of America with a huge economy compared to Trumptardland, the Trumptards will also achieve victory after victory but eventually will be violently resisted. I would have preferred President James Buchanan, the president immediately before Lincoln, to have shown wisdom by hanging Robert E Lee, Jefferson Davis, and other big deal Confederates before they started a war that killed more Americans than all foreign wars America has fought. Personally, I wish Biden would show wisdom by hanging Trump, Clarence Thomas, and other big-shot Trumptards before they start another Civil War but Biden will probably be remembered as the 21st Century's James Buchanan, rated the worst President in history.

James Buchanan, 15th President 1857-1861, was unable to provide the leadership to resolve the crisis over the union leading up to to start of the Civil War.

You, the Democrats, were the Confederates.

Trump will be fine.
He will also be your next President.
