This post stems from the same encounter with Europeans on a hiking trail that prompted my previous post Europeans giving us Americans a piece of their mind
The couple was very polite. The German man remarked on how wondrous he found the nature of America, that it was so wild and unmanicured unlike the wilderness lands of Europe which have been trodden over by civilization for millennia now.
Comments like this from a European about the United States of America is precisely why I enjoy talking to them. I had never considered such a concept. But it made perfect sense, and I thanked him for that.
The conversation drifted to the Iran War, which I am shocked is happening. I hate it. It’s pure perfidy. His views and my views on the actions of Donald Trump and Israel were essentially the same.
Then the woman said something to the effect that, “I could have told you that,” implying that Americans made a mistake in electing Trump, and should have elected Demonrat Kamala Harris.
In that moment I realized I was talking to people with the depth of political understanding that you find in Lefty Boomers who have the Ukrainian flag in their Facebook profile pic, which is an understanding I do not have much respect for.
Now, in spite of what some may think about me, I have quite a conciliatory and diplomatic nature, and can maneuver conversations with a great degree of grace.
Holding back points to be made about Demonrat views regarding covid, forced vaxxing, vaxx passports, cutting boys dicks off, abortion, transgenderism, government medicine, communism, and many others, I remarked on the unpopularity of the Ukraine war within Americans, and that Donald Trump was supposed to stop the wars, which was a huge reason for his popularity.
I did that for the specific purpose of directing the woman’s attention to the Ukraine war so as to get her raw and unfiltered opinion on that and Russia.
I certainly got it.
They are convinced that Vladimir Putin is Satan. They are convinced that he wants to rebuild Russia into the Soviet Union, and is preparing a war to conquer all of Europe, because his meglamaniacal nature impels him to that. I have heard this opinion expressed from other Europeans over the past several years.
Now, I am not in the halls of power in London, Berlin and Kiev. I’m not privy to geoolitical understanding that the leaders of NATO have regarding the maneuverings of Russia. And of course I do not have such insight about what’s going on in the Kremlin either.
As much as I do not think that Putin is trying to do what those Europeans were accusing Putin of, I admit I could be very, very wrong. Geopolitical machinations on the other side of the world I think is a subject all of us should have humility in expressing opinions about. We are all far away on the outside looking in.
Yet, based on pundits like Douglas MacGregor, Daniel Davis, Scott Horton, Jeffery Sachs, Andrew Napolitano and all the European guests they host on their shows, along with with what I deem to be a common sense perspective that habitual liars who profit from war are not to be believed, and other reasonings I stand behind, I am by no means convinced that Vladimir Putin is rearming Russia to fight a war against over 400 million Europeans.
That seems like the biggest bunch of horsecrap, and is contrived so the murderous profiteers of war can keep practicing their murderous trade, as they have for centuries.
Plus, frankly, I see the hand of the real Satan behind all this leading us to a darkness that we all know is coming, a darkness led by the West, not East.
However, hot and sweaty on the trail, I didn’t desire to get into an argument regarding the other side of the world. It would have required a rational progression of questions that I did not see the woman disposed to entertaining, and there would have been many questions because I’m not sure what type of propaganda this Italian woman is exposed to.
However, my main point behind this post is not to argue that I’m right and they’re wrong. My point is to state that it does seem Europeans have accepted the fate that they are going to war with Russia because they have accepted this narrative about Putin.
This is horrible, depressing and many other adjectives. But it does seem to be reality. The conviction I saw in those two Europeans’ eyes I’ve seen in others.
God help us.
And in closing I must say this lack of being able to know what is really going on on the other side of the world is reason number 10,567 why we Americans should have no part of it.
Americans fighting Wars on the other side of the world is ultimately predicated upon believing the words of those in power, whom we as Real Americans should be believing least.
Fuck war. Fuck the cheerleaders of war. Fuck ’em especially if those villains say boys from California, Texas, Tennessee, New York and Florida should die in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Iran, Ukraine or wherever else “in defense of our freedoms.”
In spite of narratives forced upon us through our GOVERNMENT school brainwashing and masterfully scientific propaganda matrix, there is a pressing need to reevaluate the wars and geopolitical orders in the 20th and 21st centuries, because we as trusting and thus gullible Americans, I believe, we’re fed a mountain of steaming horseshit by manipulators of perceptions.
I wish the Europeans would also question en masse historical narratives from the last century, because historical narratives are still powerful motivations of human action in the present. They convince who was good or bad in the past, and that convinces us of the same thing in the present.
And there should be as much unfiltered discussion as possible as millions march towards the murderous madness of war.
But a people who do not question history do not question the present either.
And there will be hell to pay, unfortunately.
