    In Alabama they argue their teachers can fuck 17 year old students because laws against it are unconstitutional.

    I have now watched three hours of this guy and still agree with almost all of it. Where he goes wrong is in constantly looking at the West only through the prism of power. It is very important to understand power and the abuses of power but in spite of the Christian religion that he has spent his whole life in you dont hear any of that richness of understanding of the forces that built Western Civilization in what he says. Chris does not seem to understand that it being all about power was not how it always was, it is only now as the dysfunctional and decrepit West dies and the Brutes of the Empire romp towards global domination that power is all there is. He also clearly does not fully understand Trump, nor what fascism is, most of what he says about so called white supremacy is garbage which relates back to him making the mistake of one tracking his mind along power.

    His blind spots are so frustrating.

    Note: I might be wrong that he does not get it, my three hours show no sign that he gets it however.
    I choose my own words like the Americans of olden times........before this dystopia arrived.

    DARK AGES SUCK!

    But Yuri Bezmenov warned the West of this. Few listened.
    Please keep believing this. Thank you.

    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."
