Part 1

A man is traveling by foot when he sees a party of merchants walking in the opposite direction. With that party is a donkey who is heavily burdened with all the merchandise. The man noticing the donkey ready to collapse, states, "That donkey is carrying too much! Take off some of those things so that he does not die from exhaustion!"

The merchants take a look at the donkey and see that the man is correct. They start to discuss among themselves what they should do.

I have a theory about the supposed increase in autists. The internet is to blame. Not simply because people can look up terms and mis-diagnose themselves (though this is part of it), but rather that the internet has the unfortunate side effect of allowing people to be "terminally online."

When you are doing the vast majority of your communication through text alone, you are missing most of the actual communication you would get in a natural social situation (vocal inflections, emotions)

For anyone who wants marriage and family in their future, I have some advice:

Don't marry wrong. If that means not marrying at all, so be it.

It is indeed better to not marry at all than to make the wrong choice on who to marry. I will never tell any man that they have an obligation to get married, because in spite of the fact that I am married myself, I understand that my path is not one that can or should be prescribed to all other men.

Regarding every rationalization or excuse the left gives for their agitators to be allowed to do whatever they want without consequences, remember this: they do not truly believe their own rationalizations. They simply use them as a cover to get their goals pushed. Their goals of their retarded leftist ideology being enacted is their ultimate principle. Every other action you see that is inconsistent is just them attempting to get to that end goal.

Whenever people are critical of communism, it includes the very implementation that is attempted by those who do so under the banner of communism. So we can safely say we should not try communism when it ultimately leads to the problems that we see repeatedly. Just because commies proclaim that it does not count does not absolve their ideology of blame. The problem is the attempt to reach the end goals of their retarded ideology, not simply the fantasy they have for how they think it should work

"State capitalism" is a great demonstration of mental gymnastics by commies. Oh sure, they can go on about how "Communism is stateless so you cannot blame my ideology for these failures," but those same governments that failed got to their point by implementing things commies endorse. After all, they call for the government to seize power in order to achieve their utopia. Because apparently the state will just "wither away", somehow. It never does.

I am not a fan of the US capturing Maduro. While it is better that it was a quick operation rather than a long drawn out war, I do not see this serving our interests well.

The rationale given does not matter when the real reason is the US empire is attempting to outmaneuver BRICS. And this is where I am concerned. The outcomes of attempting to throw our weight around may be worse than if we just gracefully accepted that we are no longer invincible (whether perceived or in actuality).

And yes, Trump has his own puppet masters who beckon him to serve Israel, so I am not saying that all is well with that either. But at least having less bullshit domestic policies is a silver lining. Don't forget that things will most likely get worse. Because that will happen, and most likely it will come when you do not expect it.

Even if nothing is really accomplished by the Trump administration due to a combination of feet dragging by his own people and stonewalling from corrupt judges, him being in office at least provides us some breathing room for the time. This is not to say we can afford to be complacent and "trust the plan," but rather that I see this outcome as the lesser evil compared to a continuation of the Democrat puppet masters being in charge (because Biden certainly wasn't in charge).
