Basically the difference between support and fanaticism. You can be a nationalist and still believe in things like "travel broadens the mind". It doesn't have to go down the working class gone bad route. The same holiday to the same place every year, the same meal on the same night every week, the same music with the same dancing, the same attitude with the same result, and the same joke with the same punchline.
Diversity can be bad but this does not imply the love of banality.
That's the worst thing about Trump/Trumpism imo. It'll never be their fault and they'll take personal offence over whatever it is they're so possessive about. Smothering and overbearing mothering - never let anyone tell me my country is not good enough when in reality there will be many mistakes because it's human.
Then again connectingsingles is a clannish safespace that feels like Islam. Outside opinions will not go down well.
However, Donald Trump was greatly advantaged by the Brexit vote and it does you no good to think like a narrow-nationalist when we're responding to the same global system.
Don't get clingy and possessive about the country. You're not a woman and the country is not your kid, don't have this weirdly intimate relationship with your space where you become her indoors behind the wall paying no attention to the outside world.
Unless you’re from a close knit village who isn’t a phony in an impersonal society?
Village, town, city, world city and finally cyberspace. People become progressively false with every stage of deeper integration and looser relation.
Eventually you reach a point in diversity where you become so streetwise and indifferent to others that even friendly conversation between family members feels like a poker game.
Rasputin was the visible traitor beloved by the establishment and hated by the people and he ultimately got the establishment killed. Rasputin is to the Tzar what Islam is to you.
On the one hand fighting is the only thing we’re good at in the west. Every other nation in the world waking up and overtaking our economy of pet grooming entrepreneurs and YouTube personalities can only be postponed through the use of our weapons. Never going to beat China at work or study and this gives us a proclivity towards war, in many ways we’re accustomed to the spoils of war it sustains the rubbish we do for such great money.
Good. I remember being told before the Arab Spring that Assad was the most popular Middle Eastern dictator and maybe that’s why it’s not easy to unseat the man.
But where is the Muslim world thanks to its revolutions? Egypt at best can be described as the least worse off. No, you keep your beak out and let the Muslim liberals turn Bolshevik and hang the Saudi royal family. They’re comprised by this neoliberal clintonesque no mans land, they get depicted as libtards and traitors by the islamofascists.
Generations are of course only a rough guide. Late boomers are already experiencing a lowered rate subsidy compared to the early boomers- i.e. being made to work longer for less reward. To be born in 1975 would be closest paying to your own way and nobody elses. Born before 1975 then your whole life has been subsidised dramatically, born after 1975 and the opposite will be the case.
It depends how old you are whether you gain from the state. The greatest generation paid for the country, the baby boomers claimed off the country, and millennials may or may not lose every their every third dollar for the third of your wealth you got for free.
And this makes it regressive. Millennials and the greatest generation subsidise the baby boomers when the baby boomers are the wealthiest of all.
Corbyn doesn't even like the EU because it mandates the privatisation of society. But a lot of Corbyn's fans come form the corruption of the welfare state the factt it no longer serves its egalitarian purpose but instead provides fun and games for the middling sorts. His fans got to avoid work and instead study journalism so that grandma doesn't get a stairlift, his fans steal from the public till and use that money to keep asylum seekers out of their hometown. Corbyn himself is an old social democrat leading a group of social liberals from the swamp held together by the often contradictory ways in which people define the word "left", the word "left" has become like the national flag it simply induces emotion and doublethink. You and everyone who stands against everything you believe in rallying around the same flag because the flag is about not seeing the world as it is or other people for what they are. In this way confusion chalk and cheese become one.
I see it building towards a Napoleon figure. In Singapore - the land that went from third world to first inside a generation - it's mandatory to save a part of your income you're not free to spend all your own money. When having kids the phrase "two is enough" could be found everywhere.
That's what we need. A Lee Kuan Yew; the thinking man's Donald Trump.
Anyway between the Victorian Dad who forced me to do and be what millennials normally are not and the great Mum who will leave me her house I'll be fine. I don't know many people my age with the savings I have or the ability to command a decent wage.
I'm much more worried about societal collapse. Being robbed of everything I've worked for my entire life, no matter how right you do things personally you share the same fate of the society you live in. Living right will not save us if we do it alone.
It's the knock on effect because if you do the right thing in education the industry that exists is not built on the understanding that you've done the right thing in education. Paying for all the pet grooming entrepreneurs, sports scientists, and journalists that will never be eats inhibits our ability to fuse atoms together creating an infinite supply of clean energy(for example).
And yet the NHS is desperate for staff at all levels of ability. At the same as insisting on mass immigration we have a youth where one quarter of them intentionally do nothing of value for over 3 years. Forget the criminals and the ones who come from smackhead parents, this is our middle class doing this and a middle class can not sustain this degree of incompetence and decadence without being squeezed from existence, driving the country backwards, and impoverishing all of posterity in eye-watering debt.
It was founded in Ibiza by a Canadian on an E. One of the more female-oriented scams it targets those entranced by their own uniqueness although on a comedown day there's another group where he talks about how we're all basically the same but there are these systems keeping us apart.
