The Strategic Blunder of ‘Trump-as-Hitler’

[Slartibartfast]

I was just looking at the ideas of Kabbala and physical/mental deformation. Of course it is all nonsense but some interesting loose threads on the Hebrew "Ruach" connecting to some ancient Pict stuff.

By any chance are you ginger Poindexter?

I need a shower, long day.

Ok George but you get my point though.

Who on the 'left' here on ET is an extremist? Economically or socially? They are traders for a start for the most part. So if it is real-world friends and family you are talking to here as a proxy fine but there is nobody at home here who is extreme left wing.

Psychologically some of the guys on the 'right' on ET are in bad shape. From obsession with picking on homeless people to just here for 'gotchas'.

The world is screwed but it has always seemed screwed to someone and it moves on. I can feel the grumpy old man thing onsetting however I know plenty of guys who were kids inside a bit until old age.

The "left" guys on ET don't want communism, don't want it to descent into Venezuela and don't 'Hate' America.

Poindexter is a twisted autistic, Gem is very often awful, he can mutilate any conversation unless slapped hard on the nose, he feeds on ET. GWB is moron who hates homeless... guns, race..

On ET, the majority of the 'right' are twisted up, the 'left' are fairly decent humans who are still capitalist believers, just not 100%.

My assessment of the resident left leaning crowd.
exgoper - radical leftist, complete lunatic.
dest-leans hard left, loves to be an asshole in all forums all the time
Tony Stark-leans left, goes off the rails from time to time. Doubt we'd be best buds, but I could see a casual acquaintance.
Here4money-more center left, reasonable enough to have a debate with. More than likely a decent guy
Piezoe and Red Duke- Intelligent guys who have an opinion I respect more often than not. Doesn't mean I agree, but I respect their opinions.
FutureCurrents -Global warming Cultist who is incapable of reasoned positions on that subject.
Freddie- leans harder left but more often than not I can have a rational discussion with him. He's able to separate politics out of other areas of interest. I have few issues with him and he's probably a decent guy.
And you- Sure lean left more often than not. Doesn't make you bad. I think you're on-line persona is more like mine than you'd care to admit. Able to be reasonable, and then someone or something gets under your skin and you go off. Been there, done that, will do it again. Just how I'm built.

Don't think I left anyone out. Really only a couple that I'd have nothing to do with on the street. Consequently I have the two of them on ignore. Everyone else is at least worth having some sort of engagement with.
I've been CaptainObvious here since 2006, no name changes. I railed against the left and the right when I found it to be appropriate. To be honest, much more anti left than right posts, but if you were here in 2008-2010 I was going hard at the corporate terrorists who brought down the economy of the entire fucking world and then tried to blame it on some guy working an automotive production line and the poor shmucks who got hustled on the NINJA loans. I call'em as I see'em, and right now I see the left having gone off the f'n rails, are unable to admit that Hillary was just a horseshit candidate and that was the major contributing factor to her loss.

Fair enough. Lately I have seen what seems to me to be real nasty stuff, happiness at the suffering of others. I can be a prick of course though I think I'm usually reacting to something.

I never really picked up ultra-left stuff from exGOPer though. I need to head out however as hungry so can't think now.
