People forget that as bad as the economy in Spain is now, it was far worse under the fascists.

Fascism is rising Globally.

Sad but true.

Fear is rising too. Looks like it might be time to legalize psychedelics. The crazy ones will jump out of windows and the healthier see God. Either way the level of fear will go down. Too extreme? Well I'm not sure. The crazy ones may still jump from the windows but take the rest of us with them. The most technologically advanced and scientific country on earth at the time thought it was a good idea to put other humans in ovens. This fascists thingi happens to people who never suspect they are on that path.

Yeah, cause the religion (seeing god) has been the saving grace of society for the last thousand years? Maybe its time for the "crazy" people to actually run things, couldnt be worse.

I forgot. When you mention God to the blind they think their blind idea of who He is is what they imagine they will see. What psychedelics can do is shatter ordinary reality and open the mind to unimagined truths. Not a good idea for many perhaps, but we do show some definite signs of desiring our own extinction. People wouldn’t be so inclined to do that if they knew the beauty of being. That is the purpose of real religion, not the joke religions you are familiar with.

Yet in America, the weak-minded few tell us socialism is the answer.

Their ultimate goal is communism.

"Daddy, what did you do when the fascists lied their way back into power?"
Felix: "Well, son, I derped."

The irony is lost on the Progressheviks and their war against the "invisible man in the sky" because one of the groups that are helping them has a great new "man in the sky" for our Liberal friends.

The fascists didn't get very far in Spain-

An anti-immigration and ultranationalist party, Vox, won its first seats in Parliament, a major shift in a country that long appeared to be immune to the spread of far-right movements across Europe, in part because of the legacy of the Francisco Franco dictatorship. But its 10 percent share of the vote left it in no position to play kingmaker and help form a governing coalition.

They've done much better in Hungary, Italy & Poland.

Fascinating. I ran your word salad through Google's english=>russian translator and then back to english and it came out pretty much the same. It's almost like it had been there before.

Contrast this to an english=>Chinese=>english translation:

The “road of progress” and their war on “invisible people in the sky” have lost their irony, because a group that is helping them has provided our liberal friends with a great new “people in the sky”.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who couldn’t make any sense out of that bullshitboy post.

It crossed the line between bullshit & incoherency.

You right-wingers do talk an awful lot of gibberish. What _are_ you going on about?

Best I can make out, leaning over backwards to be charitable, you are muddling up atheist Dawkins-type-anti-theists, liberals and leftists. And, possibly, if I've got this right, you have your weird obsession with Muslims in there as well. You do realise those are all quite different groups of people, right? There's not a single hive-mind coaltion consisting of everyone in the world you've decided is your enemy.

Is this a sign brandonbull needs an intervention? The cognitive decline is noticeable even for him.

Remember the days when we could all be happy that Generalissimo Francisco Franco was still dead?

 

[SlowSpyder]

Fascism is rising Globally.

Luckily it isn't here, at least not on the right. Our long standing democratic process is protected and in place, not going anywhere. Luckily there are still those of us that fight for individual rights.

 

[hal2kilo]

So Franco's not dead after all?

Their (who ever their is) goal is power. Oligarchy is what rules. You think Lennon isn't twirling in his grave?

How is that working in "communist" states of the UK, Sweden and the like? Then there's Commie Canada with their national health care.

No, I'm not buying that. There are things I oppose in many candidates positions including Democratic Socialists but if you are going to say their goal is Communism then I'm going to make the equally absurd statement that Republicans ultimately want to make Trump a god-emperor to execute the majority of the people. Fair is fair.

Yes, and there are those who oppose treasonous individuals like Trump the Oath Breaker. We will not lose to you.

It's a hiatus he may or may not be done with.

Hey let's not bring The Beatles into this. Unless we can blame Yoko Ono somehow I mean.

Ugh. My spelling is going downhill. Retirement can't come soon enough. Just signed up for a Medicare Advantage Plan this weekend.
EDIT: Probably thinking of the spelling from the Fire Sign Theatre album "All hail Marx and Lennon"
