To Joe Loudmouth-

You seem to like the moderates... the idea that the truth is somewhere in the middle... and you think you aren't being manipulated- have you heard of "The Overton Window"?

Everyone everywhere needs to struggle through the "fog of war" to determine where their interests lie. It's often difficult and confusing and complex and based on faulty information on all sides but yet we need to keep swimming even when we find ourselves drowning. We try to create a bubble of stability of sanity in an infinity of chaos. Sometimes we try to help fellow swimmers to safety- sometimes they can't be saved and are condemned to drown- and drown you too.

I find it's useful to stand on principles. But mine are not the same as others- that is the domain of another culture.

If you've seen the movie "Inception" you'll have some understanding of what I mean.

There are few people who have contributed to the Trump Derangement Syndrome gripping half the nation than Joe Scarborough of MSNBC. Along with this co-host, guests, and other hosts at MSNBC, Scarborough fed the anti-Trump movement an almost four-year diet of paranoia and conspiracy theories.

That derangement is a backdrop and breeding ground for the BLM-Antifa riots taking place now in Portland and Seattle, and spreading elsewhere. Unlike the widespread earlier rioting and looting, the focus now is burning down federal courthouses and attacking the police, particularly federal law enforcement guarding federal buildings and property.

Josephus, I have no affection for the American political system. Do I have some affinity with these Democrats or Republicans, no none at all. As if there is some great alternative choice on offer by voting for one or the other, the same monster with two heads. Trump is a massive danger to the world, Biden will prove to be much the same, assuming he gets voted in.

Although there are some similarities, we really have it a whole lot different in Australia then the situation is in America.

Whilst we do have some horrible history;

- We DO NOT have a history of slavery.
- We have a different health system;
- We have different bail laws.

These 3 things fundamentally change the situation in Australia as compared to the system in America.

That said, in America, blacks commit more crimes against every other ethnic group than every other ethnic group commits against them.

Oh yeah '600 buildings burning' in Portland.
- I tried to find a video or source to where I'd heard it but I couldn't find it.
I did hear it somewhere, and the mainstream media isn't saying too much about Portland.

I accept its a dubious claim, and is probably incorrect.

I do know however that there has been riots going on in Portland for over 50days now, and there is a lot of arson.
Whether the 600 buildings figure is true regarding this entire 50+ days period I'm not sure.
