Donald Trump is considering starting a new political party in America, he is inclined to the name 'Patriots Party'. Such a party would be based on the "philosophy" of one Donald J Trump, Trumpism for short. I assume the party would be headquartered in Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, Palm Beach Florida USA. Trump would be calling the shots to the poor and downtrodden from the penthouse suite, again assuming Mar-a-Lago resort has such appropriate accommodation befitting such a great and noble leader.

Could Trumpism spread from humble beginning in the good old U.S of A to embrace the whole world? Could we see the establishment of the 'Australian Patriots Party', welding together hard right so so's, with a mix of disillusioned conservatives thrown in. Again assuming the membership fees were the only thing moderate in the party, special rates for pensioners, not at the astronomical levels charged at Trump's Mar-a-Largo resort, would any "Forumuites" be willing to consider joining? With the slogan "Make (insert your countries name here) Great Again", who knows where this could lead!

p/s The Mar-a-Largo resort is the ideal HQ for Trumpism, getting rave reviews such as this on Google from David S; "Over salted food, a strange smell, and very tacky decor “highlighted” our visit". I think dave nailed it with the word "tacky"

Hi Paul

There are already a whole swag of Australian Political Parities that MAY satisfy your criteria in your second para, eg. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_parties_in_Australia

Parliamentary

- Katter's Australian Party

- Pauline Hanson's One Nation

Non-Parliamentary

- Australia First Party (NSW) Incorporated [which could expand to Federal]

See more details about each of the above at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_parties_in_Australia

And don't forget Foul-Mouth's Hairy Arses Party of Australia for all you pro-China types out there.

One free book on Mao and a copy of the Chinese National Anthem with every application.

Village Idiot,

I suspect that you're not old enough yet to qualify :(

Pete,

Given the suspicious minds of conspiracy theorists, and their failure in the US to overthrow democratic structures, even with the help of the former president, I wouldn't be surprised if many genuinely crack-pot right-wing groups start suspecting some of the Russian and Chinese phony right-wing groups, plants, agents provocateurs, to have undermined their efforts to re-impose white supremacy - and ultimately either slavery OR forcible repatriation of African-Americans etc. back to their supposed homelands.

And how come nobody seems to be aware of the aliens actively building their colonies, including nano-chip factories, on the far side of the moon, just waiting for the Right Time ? Hmmmmm ? How come nobody wants to admit the obvious signs of all that, strange lights and noises ? That this whole COVID hoax is an alien set-up from start to ghastly finish ?

Joe

The 5G conspiracy.
This Old Wives Tale first surfaced about 1900 when Marconi moored
his yacht Electra in Venice near the Douge's Palace.
It resurfaces every time a new modulation technique is applied to
a radio signal.
5G is the latest in a long line;
CW AM FM RTTY AFSK TVAM TVdiital OTHR 2G 3G 4G etc etc etc.
OTHR, is the interesting one as it can give cancer to people all over
the world at the same time. Big Russian plot that one.
Putin said to be bringing that back.

Hi Bazz,

Yes, you can't trust anybody. Whenever I'm shopping and someone brushes against me - unless they are female - If it's my leg they're brushing, I suspect they might be Bulgarian or Russian, but if it's my arm, I suspect they might be working for Bill Gates or George Soros or some other Jews - or, of course, the Chinese. So I keep a distance. It's worked so far. But you can't be too careful.

I shouldn't be letting people know this. If this is my last post ......

Joe

Hi Paul,

I thought this thread was a sort of spoof until I came across this:

http://www.news.com.au/world/north-america/us-politics/donald-trumps-patriot-party-plans-to-destroy-republicans/news-story/fb2fad849d33ef5e637fd4a7fd4b34c6

So there are progressives, conservatives and now rat-bags ?

Both progressivism and conservatism have principles in their own peculiar ways. Anarchism, left or right, has none, except to tear down what one doesn't like, if one does not get one's way.

As a progressive conservative, I venture to suggest that, if something can be improved, then it should be - but if it can't easily, then it's possible that the situation shouldn't be changed, until it CAN be improved. If it ain't all that broken, then don't muck around trying to fix it. In other words, weigh up the risks of change carefully. Learn from history.

Joe

I watched a movie last night.
I learned in the movie that the era of the white man has ended and this is the era of the brown (Indian) and yellow (Chinese) man.
I'm not being racist - this is exactly as it was portrayed in the movie.

Armchair Critic,

What was the movie?

Hi Paul,

It gets crazier :) Now that Trump is gone, could Biden have been Q all along ? Will he secretly deliver ?

http://www.sbs.com.au/news/qanon-followers-realise-their-baseless-conspiracy-was-all-a-lie-as-president-joe-biden-takes-office

In the lead-up to the election, I was thinking if it was possible for millions of people to become paranoid and psychotic. I think so, yes, and to stay that way.

From Wikipedia

“Anarchism is a political philosophy and movement that is sceptical of authority and rejects all involuntary, coercive forms of hierarchy. Anarchism calls for the abolition of the state, which it holds to be undesirable, unnecessary, and harmful. It is usually described alongside libertarian Marxism as the libertarian wing (libertarian socialism) of the socialist movement and as having a historical association with anti-capitalism and socialism.

The history of anarchism goes back to prehistory, when humans arguably lived in anarchistic societies long before the establishment of formal states, realms or empires. With the rise of organised hierarchical bodies, scepticism toward authority also rose, but it was not until the 19th century that a self-conscious political movement emerged. During the latter half of the 19th and the first decades of the 20th century, the anarchist movement flourished in most parts of the world and had a significant role in workers' struggles for emancipation. Various anarchist schools of thought formed during this period. Anarchists have taken part in several revolutions, most notably in the Spanish Civil War, whose end marked the end of the classical era of anarchism. In the last decades of the 20th and into the 21st century, the anarchist movement has been resurgent once more.

Anarchism employs a diversity of tactics in order to meet its ideal ends which can be broadly separated into revolutionary and evolutionary tactics. There is significant overlap between the two which are merely descriptive. Revolutionary tactics aim to bring down authority and state, having taken a violent turn in the past. Evolutionary tactics aim to prefigure what an anarchist society would be like. Anarchist thought, criticism and praxis have played a part in diverse areas of human society. Criticisms of anarchism include claims that it is internally inconsistent, violent, or utopian.”

“Homage to Catalonia” is George Orwell’s account of his participation with the anarchists in the Spanish Civil War

Hi Joe,

"I thought this thread was a sort of spoof until I came across this:"

Joe, you grievous me so, whenever have I been flippant, or treated our discussions on OLO with folly? In the words of the immortal Andrew Peacock; "This is a very serioussssss matter!" I did envisage certain members of our forum fraternity rushing forth, and showing their eagerness to joint such a party where they could freely express their Trumpyness, seems not so, by the lack of response.

Here in Aussie we have the political greats to front this immortal Patriots Party, people such as Fat George Christensen, the member for South Manila, springs to mind, The Mad Katter! who can not recognise the political wisdom of Bob, The Lovely Pauline, a sweet girl if ever there was one, even the rambunctious Corny Banana could be prised out of retirement at Sky News to lead this mighty party, for some it would be the return of the messiah. Who can forget Corny's rampaging success leading the Australian Conservatives to victory a year or two ago.

The Great Donald has merely provided the spark, it now up to the brotherhood of the Forum's old farts club, and other assorted odd-bods to provide the blazing inferno which will be the 'Australian Patriots Party'. With the cry of "Disinfectant for ALL!" great changes can be envoked within the political landscape of Australia, as demonstrated by The Great Donald's recent success in the good old U.S of A. Who will be first to join? Count you in Joe?

Anyway, Happy Invasion Day, off to the Brisbane protest at 11am.

Paul1405,

The current generation of dishonest and untrustworthy politicians, bureaucrats and business people of Australia are intent on burying the reality of the British invasion of Aboriginal lands under the catchy rubric of Asianization aka Australian Multiculturalism that took place during the Great Asianization Period (1980-2020) in Australian history in their attempt to extinguish the history of dispossession and attempted genocide perpetrated by the colonial and post-colonial governments.

And now the Communist Chinese Empire is going to do to Asianized Australia what the British Empire did to Aboriginal Australia.

A case of history repeating itself.

Hi Mr O,

Looks like that bunch of Forumites who are always singing the praises of Dangerous Doctor Donald are all piss and wind. Given the chance to man the barricades, where are they? Asked if given the opportunity would they take up the cudgels in the name of Trumpism? Nah! not a peep from any of the miserable sods. Seems these old farts are nothing more than keyboard warriors not willing to support their so called convictions.

Paul, have you never heard of the silent majority ?
As far as the decline of the white man, well most modern developments
have been the result of white science and technology.
If the white man disappears because of his birth rate, then only the
Chinese will be left to carry the load.
However whose intellectual rights will they steal then ?

The Chinese are quite capable of invention. They don't have to steal. They had developed printing with movable type several hundred years before Gutenberg. They invented the seed drill about two thousand years before it got to Sicily. The seed drill produced a yield of twenty to one of grain whereas sowing by hand yields about 4 or 5 to one. They were making steel in blast furnaces centuries before the west.

Joseph Needham made a monumental study of Chinese technology.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_and_Civilisation_in_China

Until about 1760 China was the most technologically advanced country in the world. However, stemming from the industrial revolution in England the west flourished. The dominance of the west and the white man is historically recent,

Correct David F.
As well their animal husbandry enabled the breeding of pigs for food
somewhere around 200 BC and the knowledge moved west.
However those in the middle east made pigs Haram because of the
parasites, a valid decision, but it became a religious prohibition
and they are now unable to reverse the ban.
They are still very reliant on stealing ideas, but that might change.
The way they infiltrated the universities was part of all that.
