There are a number of different threads about specific happenings, or about specific concepts, but we don't have one about general political blabbing. Taking those comments that always seem to get deleted off of the mainstream sites, and keeping the dot-connecting here.
Therefore, I'm starting this thread to collect these general ideas that don't really have a place elsewhere.
Just like
I think that this could serve as a great way to work out the kinks of some ideas to further develop them, or to suggest relevant books or essays to read to get further understanding of the ideas.
The world's pretty complicated, and bouncing ideas off of each other widens our range of references.
Out-of-thread resources I expect to relate to are links to posts in some of the happening threads, if relevant examples can be seen, links to resources mentioned in the
/mlpolit/, and the more general subject-focused threads.
I'm sure we've got plenty of ideas that aren't applicable to established threads that aren't necessarily worth their own thread, so let's start gathering some thoughts!

I'm beginning to believe they are all clownish holograms.
My normie neighbor can play a better role as national leader.
>>388556Personally, I'm just glad that the world finally sees the U.S. government for the clown show it has been since 1970.
>>388556Jumping straight into the deep end, what if the actual competent evil overlords fled to their underground bunkers years ago to weather some soon-coming apocalypse, and left their retarded flunkies in charge?
Something like crazy space weather could theoretically take out all of modern civilization. They have all the benefits of the tech we've invented, and now they don't have to deal with a living population that might say no to them. With their infinite wealth, they have the ability to select however many perfectly servile and obedient high IQ serfs to accompany them as a meritocratic servant class if they select from the cream of the crop of humanity.
It's jumping in to what is basically a worst case scenario, but it seems like it could be worryingly plausible if you just allow for some sort of predictable mass disaster. The state of the education and flow of information could be controlled easily enough.
Whatever is happening, I don't think the people who are organizing everything want to maintain a strong and healthy middle class in the Western World. I think they are trying to stop this from existing.
>>388567For instance, take a look at what is happening in Spain and Portugal right now. I guarantee that the wealthy are not suffering. They have generators. Everyone else is shit out of luck, though.

>>388763> Also, .webp format isn't supported yet on /mlpol/Fuck .webp, I hate that format. I think we should continue not supporting it purely out of spite. Plus, forcing people to open images in an editor and re-save them will filter phoneposters and other newfags.
.webp does wonders with really long videos. there are none of them here though and it doesn't seem like there's problems regarding storage
>>389225I think you are confused, webp is for still and animated images, such as jpg, png, and gif.
webm is for videos.
>>389227oops, i see now
still, the only problem regarding webp is compatibility
>>389227webp is a container format for jpeg, png, apng and gif data and thus is completely useless. The codecs used by webm are really neat though
Annoyingly, .webp is also used for gif images, including animated gifs.
>>389236>AnnoyinglyYeah, I have to use Gimp to export them as .gif
>>389228It's also the default format that the video thumbnails are downloaded in, which adds an extra step to uploading videos to the site.
The illusion of change...
>>389238I use Gimp's Bimp plugin to mass alter and convert images. It's intuitively simple.

How can you vote yourself a pay raise with a straight face after voting down taxes?
>>390220If there is any silver lining to the shitstorm going on in south Africa it is that the left is losing all plausible deniability on their anti-white hate.
>>390325>the left is losing all plausible deniability on their anti-white hateIndeed. Anti-Whites are all behind words like Afrikaners don't belong to Africa and should go back to Europe, but, also say that brown aliens belong to America or Europe.

California Governor Gavin Newsom is reportedly gearing up for a 2028 presidential bid. If nominated as the Democratic candidate, he would likely compete against Vice President JD Vance.
>pics
Not actually meant to be a bait post, but, it is what it is.
>>390318>How can you vote yourself a pay raise with a straight face after voting down taxes?Good question.
The answer is in government funding.
It would make a ton of sense that you need to retrieve taxes in order to spend money, wouldn't it? That's how things work for a normal person.
But governments that use fiat currency print money out of nothing. The taxes are there to sort of vaguely keep inflation down. As new money is created, if it is not balanced with new value being created in the economy, it reduces the value of all the other money in the economy.
This means that if you're close to the money printing spigot, then you get dollars that were printed out of nothing, and you can spend them at the full current value of the dollar before the rest of the market adjusts the prices accordingly to deal with the extra money printing.
Since at least COVID (and more likely since 2008 and before with "quantitative easing), government just printed money to give to people. This will cause massive inflation, which we're seeing, in addition to all the other means of sabotaging the economy.
They're probably printing lots of money for themselves so they can take the real value for themselves from the economy, leaving regular joes and poor people to suffer the most. It reads to me like the open theft of the public treasury that happens a lot when an empire or large government is collapsing under the weight of it's own power and authority.
Whatever the heck is happening, many very big and very confusing things are right around the corner. I already lost the plot with most of the 24 hour news cycle induced crazy events. Who knows what sort of web of absolute bullshit we're swimming in these days.
Disclaimer: I may be full of shit and wrong about some things here. This is coming from a basic extension of what I understand about government spending and fiat currency.
>>390318>Be who allocates funds and cares not for the shmucks.Whoooo could have ever seen this corruption coming...
>>390645The thing is technically they could just stop printing money to curb inflation. Money gets damaged and 'lost' ect. normally.
You are right that they won't do that because having the economic edge of both higher taxes and money printing is too important for them.
Which means they are looking to get tangible stuffs from people who are economically fucked.
IE bondage through the money systems.
They're getting ready to use that leverage to suck people dry. A weak dumb starving population is easier to control.
Getting ready for the 2030 agenda and they see no one that will be a road bump like Trump.
They're going to be in for a bad time 'cause they dun fucked up, they just don't know it yet. Maybe not for the given example but for the direction they're headed.
SALT hikes?
Fuck that.
Why should I have to pay someone else’s state and local taxes for them?
In some other state?
>>390614>2028 presidential bid... ...he would likely compete against Vice President JD Vance.Wasn't it ruled recently that Donald can serve 2 consecutive terms even after having served a single one in the past? He's already stated that if possible he will run in 2028.
>>390671While not claiming to be an expert, the constitution does not allow for more than 2 duly elected terms as president. The only way Trump could serve more than 8 years is if he were elected Vice President, and the sitting president was rendered unable to serve.
Speaking of which, there are no restrictions or term limits on Vice Presidency, and this is something I've been on about for some time now, in various comment sections and debates.
There is nothing stopping Trump from being Perma-VP
>>390671>>390672FOR REFERENCE (source U.S. Constitution):
Twenty-Second Amendment
Section 1
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.
Section 2
This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission to the States by the Congress.
>But can't he run as Vance's Vice President?Twelfth Amendment (final sentence)
But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.
So how can there be more Trump terms? Simple.
>Cancel the 2028 election>Suspend the Constitution>Declare himself President For LifeI will leave it to you to imagine the ensuing shitshow if he chooses to follow such a course of action.
>>390696Thank you for the long-form.
Hypothetically speaking, the democrat party doesn't get to just "shuffle" their incumbent candidate. THAT was unconstitutional.
So why should anyone care, in that the law is arbitrary?
My point being - thank you for the correction - that okay, it's not constitutional for Trump to run again.
But what if the people don't care, and vote him anyway?
>>390697There is nothing in the Constitution that says that political parties can't switch candidates in mid-campaign. In fact, there is no provision for political parties in the Constitution whatsoever. It does not mandate more restrict their existence. There is historical precedent, such as if a candidate falls ill or even dies during a campaign, then of course someone replaced them.
In my personal opinion, any candidate not physically/mentally fit to campaign for office should be disqualified from holding that office. Biden should have been removed under the provisions of the 25th Amendment (Section 4):
Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
>>390699That should be "nor", not more.
Interestingly, George Washington, in his farewell address, advocated against a two-party political system. (1796)
"All obstructions to the execution of the laws, all combinations and associations under whatever plau- sible character with the real design to direct, control, counteract, or awe the regular deliberation and ac- tion of the constituted authorities, are destructive of this fundamental principle and of fatal tendency. They serve to organize faction; to give it an artificial and extraordinary force; to put in the place of the delegated will of the nation the will of a party, often a small but artful and enterprising minority of the community; and, according to the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public administra- tion the mirror of the ill concerted and incongruous projects of faction, rather than the organ of consis- tent and wholesome plans digested by common councils and modified by mutual interests. However combinations or associations of the above descrip- tion may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely, in the course of time and things, to be- come potent engines by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion."

Those votes would be invalid, and the winning candidate would be the eligible candidate having received the most votes, even if Trump has twice as many votes as them.
>>390701Fair point.
By what criteria was Kamala on the precious ballot?
>>390702Balloting is conducted subject to state laws, federal law only provides that states must use a ballot system, but the method is up to the state. Some states indeed got into lawsuits with their state Democratic Party because they initially refused to change the ballot from Biden to Kamala.
>>390703The point being, Democrats have long-since abandoned any semblence of "rules"
