@benroyce It happens very slowly, slower than anybody thinks it will, then, suddenly, it happens much faster than anybody would believe. -- quoted by memory from someone who has seen those kinds of things, don't remember who.

@hakona

maybe

"There Are Decades Where Nothing Happens and Weeks Where Decades Happen"

wrongly attributed to Lenin

the earliest appearance of it seems to be by the author Adriaan Schade van Westrum

Lenin Said, 'There Are Decades Where Nothing Happens' and 'Weeks Where Decades Happen'?

The quote has appeared in social media posts and newspapers — and singer Billy Idol's memoir.

That went away with critical thinking. Well unless it's talking about all the communist countries, Sweden, Norway, Finland & the commie left./S

We are of an era that actually were taught important things like truth, reality, consideration, manners.To treat each other with respect & dignity,
Good shot placement.8*)

Those things only lasted for a short while then were immediately stamped out by the Godly. It's why I live in Alaska

Yet we almost didn't get into WWII because of folks like Lindbergh. That would have been a bad mistake.

The best way to know what is going on is to be where decisions are made & if they're wrong try to change them.

What everyone who goes to war knows don't get your ass shot off. "Never be in a Foxhole with anyone braver than yourself."

Hegseth is a walking death trap, he is the kind of leader that get all his troops killed.

@A_Minion @Clutha @retech @benroyce @DonChacale @spreadthetruth It appears that you are either unfamiliar with the definition of communism, or with the governments of the countries you named. Or maybe you were joking?

i think A Minion is being sarcastic. speaking in MAGA terms to mock them

A Minion: you have to indicate sarcasm online. always

use "(/s)" after sarcastic sentences

the problem with sarcasm online is that without an indicator no one knows if you're being a serious or not

sometimes it can blow up in your face

This 500 word limit is killing me. . . I fixed it with the magic /s The ones I mentioned are capitalist. Actually capitalism can work but you gotta Wrap it in Duct Tape & keep it Gagged. Which was the basis for the economy we had in the time between WWII and the 70's. That & a congress that was working for the people along with "the Liberal Consensus" but all that is long gone. Need that economy back. It needed work but . . . .
