       This is so ridiculous I just had to post. Surrender and then try
       to "fight" the invasion later by "using democracy in the
       future"?
       What...???

       From what I was able to gather, Iversen is one of those
       'political commentators' who serves to herd disgruntled
       left-leaning people to the right. In this case, it seems she is
       merely herding people to the most idiotic policy position.

       Michael Beschloss: Biden Needs To Talk About Democracy In
       ‘Existential Danger’  ??? ::)

       > Michael Beschloss, David Plouffe, and Stephanie Cutter join
       Andrea Mitchell to share their expectations for President
       Biden’s first State of the Union address. “He comes in at an

       Why would Putin want to destroy democracy when it's the best way
       for tyrants to disguise their actions with the guise that all
       their actions were actually the "will of the people"?

       It is amazing to see how many U.S. false-leftists are speaking
       about "democracy" in regards to the current Ukraine-Russia war.
       Soldiers die for freedom and their country, not some
       false-leftists ridiculous belief in democracy being the solution
       to all problems at all times in every country that's ever
       existed. These people are insane and just make the rest of us
       look like idiots for going along with that nonsense.

       Here is another example proving that rightists are the true
       democrats:
  HTML https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ae9-33Zfyj4
       They are arguing that investigation of Trump will lead to loss
       of Blue popular credibility, therefore should not be done. It is
       leftists who are saying that Trump should be investigated simply
       because it is the DOJ's job to do so. So why can't leftists
       simply accept that leftism and democracy are incompatible? If
       you believe authority derives from what is ethical, not what is
       popular, you cannot be a democrat.

       Swiss overwhelmingly reject ban on animal testing
       [img]
  HTML https://preview.redd.it/qgjbq5mrkmh81.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=79a2a0aafa1a6a806efd980f41782866250c54db[/img]
       Every time such a topic comes up on social media, a well-meaning
       few will suggest that, in principle, it would be preferable to
       test on violent criminals over non-humans. Those people are
       immediately attacked, because somehow, a non-human who's done us
       nothing wrong deserves to be put on the chopping block and
       exploited more than even the worst human. This is what the
       concept of "human rights" has done to the western brain, people.
       Never forget how disgusting and cruel the majority of humans are
       for even a single second. Lovers of animal testing have become
       so calloused and adulterated, that they love this sick world
       enough to willingly sacrifice millions of living beings whose
       only crime was being born as the "wrong" species. They literally
       view life down here as a privilege, and want to prolong it for
       its own sake. The one minor good thing to come from this, is
       that every time the well-meaning few that I mention are hit with
       the comeback "Calm down, Mengele", the supporters of animal
       testing are implicitly stating that the National Socialists
       weren't western like our old enemy here, Switzerland.
       Side note: Even worse than the proud preference for violent
       humans over presumably innocent non-humans are the
       passive-aggressive comments that attack true leftists with
       "Looks like you should be the first to volunteer to be tested
       then, if you hate animal testing so much." First of all, burn in
       hell. I'll volunteer once every single human being who supports
       this has been tested on first. We will no longer fall for the
       ancient anti-Gnostic mind-game of "Well if you hate the material
       world then you should set an example by being the first to
       leave.", or any other similar mind-games like it. If anything,
       the people who fight against animal testing the most, and
       benefit from it the least, are the least deserving of being
       tested on. So it logically follows that if animal testing is
       wrong, then the people who have praised it and benefited from it
       the most, are the ones who should be volunteering to move to the
       front of the line. Of course, the dishonorable are mostly aware
       of this on at least a subconscious level. They just don't care.

       And, it is these types that will continue to reproduce, whilst I
       suspect that the drop in human birth rates are noble people
       choosing not to reproduce and bring children into this world
       because they understand how terrible most human-beings really
       are on a fundamental level. Things will get 10 times worse on
       this planet for non-humans once all traces of true nobility have
       been bred out of humanity by the ignoble. What a dark and dismal
       world that will be....

       > BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Hungary’s nationalist Prime Minister
       Viktor Orban declared victory in Sunday’s national elections,

       > In a 10-minute speech to Fidesz party officials and supporters

       democratic backsliding and alleged corruption.

       This must be by Westerners and false-leftists love it SO much!?
       For example, these Westerners want Republicans to return to
       democracy even after they just recently elected Trump:
       Let's talk about how Putin is saving the Republican party from
       itself....
  HTML https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Os1BYw1s_E&t=44s
       Which begs the question, how many Trump's and Putin's will need
       to be elected before Westerners let their delusion go?
       Furthermore, how come most of these Westerners do not seek
       democracy in business because their boss displays authoritarian
       tendencies?
       Perhaps the biggest problem with Westerners and why they love
       democracy so much is because they believe most people are good,
       because they believe themselves to be good?
       Most Americans think that the majority of the country aren't bad
       people, but poorer Americans are less likely to think the world
       tends to be good
  HTML https://today.yougov.com/topics/lifestyle/articles-reports/2015/09/30/world-more-good-people-than-bad
       The problem with polls such as the one stated in the article
       above is the fact that the person taking the poll cannot know
       for certain whether or not the person they are asking the
       question, "do you believe most people are good or bad?", is
       actually a good or bad person themselves. Lastly, one does not
       have to look too far to realize that most people are not
       compassionate or empathetic:

       >
       > People can be split into five main categories when it comes to
       morality (which I assume is what you are asking). The boundaries
       are blurred and people under stress may "go back" a stage or
       two. Using stealing as an example (but any bad behaviour can be
       inserted):
       >
       > Amoral: These will steal, regardless of consequences and feel
       no remorse whatsoever
       > Expedient: These will steal and only feel bad about it if they
       are found out
       > Conformist: These will not steal because someone else has told
       them not to (not because of any internalised sense of decency)
       > Irrational Altruistic: These will tend not to steal because,
       if they did, they would not feel good about themselves
       > Rational Altruistic: These will not steal because they would
       not feel good about themselves but also because it would not be
       fair to, or nice for, the other person (ie they are able to
       empathise).
       >
       > As "good, compassionate, kind hearted and generous" only
       really describes the rational altruistic, then most people can
       probably be considered "bad, manipulative, selfish and
       untrustworthy". From personal experience and observation, I
       suspect that the majority of humans are Expedient!
