The Fuhrer's first speech could have been about 2010 USA

Quote from Samsara:

... sick-minded predictions for the end of the world that they secretly wish to occur, "searching for truth".

Your phrase "secretly wish to occur" is quite true, but not something I fully comprehend.

Some "shrink" posited the theory that end of the world thinking allows the frustrated and angry to engage in their most violent fantasies outloud w/out fear of societal recourse.
iow, sorta like a 5ft 5inch part-time cop who carries a 6inch barrelled .44 Magnum.
 
Quote from William Rennick:

Who is calling for the rise of the Nazis? Those guys are skinhead embarrassments who couldn't lead a donut revolt at a Weight Watcher convention. The new party will be widely embraced after complete despair and lawlessness sets in after a massive economic collapse.

Disagree about this starting in Texas which has a decent economy. Most likely in California, Florida, or Michigan ...:cool:

:D

Bill, what will you name your new party?

It's kinda like eschatology. Have you ever heard of the "Left Behind" book series that evangelical Christians go nuts over? It's about the Rapture where the saved are whisked up into Heaven and the rest of humanity is doomed to watch Hell on earth unfold. It's ostensibly about how bad other humans will suffer, which is unfortunate, but for many people the End Times are an affirmation that they are chosen. Disasters increase one's anticipation of "being right".

There's a sick kind of pleasure that comes from imagining you're one of the chosen few who sees the End of the World around the corner. People go to great lengths to dig up "evidence" of this scenario, when what they're doing is engaging in a kind of unhealthy escapism.

I hadn't heard of that, but the wiki article on eschatology describes it. Very interesting!

Same thing, yes. Kind of like the "Cassandra Complex" -- I think first brought up in <i>Twelve Monkeys</i>. Great movie. This is what one thinks about when sitting in a slow long position for 2 hours.
 
eschatology. ... unhealthy escapism.

Being among the chosen, is not really a good fit. Perhaps "among the right" or "among the good."

I think this connects to our basic revulsion at unfairness. God/Father will finally bring much delayed, just punishment. Then it shall be proven that we were right (in our obedience.)
 
Quote from EMRGLOBAL:

AND NOW the SOFT TARGETS that HDS are going to secure.

The Austin Situation is unfolding into a massive lawsuit and HDS has far less power in Texas as people are fighting back, demanding that HDS stay the fuck outa Texas. That isn't the case for the other states.

If there is a Revolution, it will start with Texas. However, I doubt that will be the case as the Nazi Party isn't going to rise in the US.

This is soft tyranny. IL, NY, CA, MA, and most of the East Coast will be in Soft Tyranny and more and more regulations passed by the Feds will make life very difficult.

Chicago will have body scanners and bag searchs by summer, as will DC and NYC subways. Taxes in those states will increase year after year as will unemployment.

The less of the two evils, East and West coast, is the Middle South.
Even with the illegal Immigration problem, the Middle South will be the most Free, pro-business Zones in the US.

While we will not have a rise of a "Nazi" party, we will have a rise of poverty and Federal Control on both Coast. Of course, this will be slow and percise. Like Reardon say's...the "Frog in the warm Pot" theory.

Chicago could be the first major city to recieve Junk Bond Statis on it's Muni's. But NYC, DC, LA and countless others may follow. They are already broke, but not listed as junk yet. Even Texas has Houston which could drop to Junk Statis as it is the most liberal city in the state and absorbed all the Free Loaders from New Orleans. It is also a Sancturary city which is costing Tax Payers Billions.

Obama has zero speaking skills and his ideas are not singling out a "Race" of poeple, like Hiltlers did. He is singling out Wealth. The class divide will grow and more and more hate will be targeted towards those with wealth.

That is why you carrier conceled in Texas. To protect your life, liberty and property.

EMR, hesh up! You are making us Tessicans look like neo-nasties.

Whut am HDS?

And never forget that our CHLs allow us to pack as many as we want, no limit. I am thinking of upgrading to three. For escalating situations.

I could see that too. Obedience implying some agency to be rewarded whereas chosen is just Calvinist.

Also apologies if you're/anyone's a Christian, just in case. I'm really just drawing a distinction between those who gain pleasure in anticipating disasters and those who have a healthier philosophy of life. Healthier could be defined in many ways, of course.
