Could be that Rand had a lot of insight as Ruskies were well aware of how tyranny works, ya know?
Russia told us more than half a century ago that they will bury us without ever firing a shot. They were exactly right, it’s here folks. Welcome to commie America, where we line up and volunteer to get shot with another type of shot.
We may be so dumb, we will line up to be shot with a bullet. I’ll bet the commies are even surprised at how easy this was.
I was enjoying Atlas Shrugged until the distastefulness of or immorality drove me off.
Hmm, and how come Russia now is not communist anymore?
But basically the last beacon of morality and Christianity – but I repeat myself.
The influence of ((( ))) has been virtually eliminated. Not kidding, either.
That is a lie, the (((Russian Oligarchs))) are more entrenched than ever. They are the wealthy or their minions. Putin has the most expensive palace of any world leader bar none.
fyi …. when it comes to you addressing the subject of Russia, I pretty much stop reading, or ignore it. You are mired in the Russia = Soviet Union mindset. Study harder.
Putin owns a yuge palace?? Batten down the hatches, Molly!! haha Why should I give a rat’s ass about that?
Suit yourself Stucky but I’ll bet you can’t prove that wrong because it is the truth. That has nothing to do with the Soviet Union, I’m talking about today…right now. Russian mafia oligrchs run that place but I’m not cracking on them, we have as bad or worse. I’m just telling the truth and Putin has a real dark undercurrent supporting Navaldy because of his lavish spending. fyi…my ass.
What’s wrong with an oligarchy anyway?
It made it’s appearance as far back as Plato’s “Republic” and Aristotle’s “Politics”.
In it’s most basic form it is a form of government by a small group. In terms of Russian oligarchs it is a businessman (there are no women oligarchs) who controls sufficient resources to influence national politics.
And how is this any different than the shit going on in this country? Or any country, if you believe in the NWO, global elite, .01%ers, etc. …. which you do.
Stucky- Read for comprehension, I said we have as bad or worse….I’m sure worse. Just try to keep it truthful. Actually there are women oligarchs, there you go again. Sheesh….
m- Why are the vast majority of Russian churches closed to worship services. Many are only open to mostly old Ruskies who go on bus “tours” to remember what once was. You can’t measure Russia by Moscow. Russia has gone full circle in the economic shift to more of a capitalist economy, I’ll give you that. America will too after it is stripped bare and there is no way to go but up. As Uncola put it the other day, they love to buy after they own, as will we.
You surely have at least a link, for what you seem to have just pulled out of your ass?
Also run this through your translator service of choice: https://www.anti-spiegel.ru/2021/die-unterschiede-zwischen-deutschland-und-russland-im-umgang-mit-corona/
http://www.pewforum.org/2014/02/10/russians-return-to-religion-but-not-to-church/
Also got it from a average Russian who does a vlog in areas outside the larger cities, and at times in cities. The churches were repurposed or they are not open for worship service. I’m not saying they are not allowed to be religious. Imagine most of America’s churches closed to people, saw that with Covid.
You’re awful quiet m……harumph.
Well I some days have other things to do.
Your link to an old article from 2014 is a bit of a joke – and almost guaranteed goolag’ed by you after your post above, to no find the fact suiting your opinion.
Main problem is your statement “the vast majority of Russian churches [are] closed to worship services” is not supported by your linked article at all.
How about this:
Because they bled it dry then moved to greener pastures – The USA.
You really haven’t been paying attention, have you..
Do try to catch up.
I keep begging you all to read Solzhenitsyn.
He lived what is happening and has advice.
Doomed. Demoo’d. Palindromedary milk in the desert. Wonder what that tastes like. Milking a camel seems like it might be semi-dangerous work, too.
I tried to milk a pygmy goat years ago and got my own Learned Hand experience. I saw your subtle reference to the oddly named bench sitter the other day and lost a really fine reply into cybernowhere.
Was he sitting the bench during the dreaded scott case?
Ghost…”I drink (fermented cameljuice, when necessary), I’m a pygmy, & I know things.”
I stopped the cyberpunking years ago. I just write into dear diary computer. Then, if I decide to bottle a note, “copy/paste.”
Looks like that was before LH’s time.
But I don’t think I’ve ever dreaded anything Ridley Scott’s done, nor his suicided brother, either.
I grew to distance myself from her and her acolytes (especially after she excommunicated Murry Rothbard) towards the end of her life but she definitely added great value to my life. I am a better man because of her.
Paul Ryan was one such dickwad. Said we should have open borders and get rid of the welfare state. Worked to keep the border wide open and didn’t do shit to dismantle the welfare state. Guess what – we’re never dismantling the welfare state.
No need to dismantle it. It will collapse in on itself as it is pure dead weight and unsustainable. Time fixes many things.
The whole raison detre of states is welfare. For the queens at the top. Bribes – also welfare – as necessary, below.
Dis•man•tle is a good word.
It’s amazing how Ann Rand knew such details about Libfuks 60 years ago.

(Yes, I know (and agree) that Repubs ain’t much better.)
libs are not restricted to one side of the aisle.
Symptomatic:
Best reply to Cramer after a quick scan (didn’t look at them all)….
My grandparents were sent to work & extermination camps Jimbo. It was legal. The government had a “right” to force them to obey, they stole their guns first.
All it took was little fuckers like you, gladly opening the cattle car doors, for them and doing the dirty work.
What do you know. Cramer is another de-facto satanist. Who would have thunk it?
Wow, I guess he’s ok with what Pol Pot et al did, then?
Not Pol Pot? Mao maybe?
(((jooish))). And Cramer just a week or two ago pounded his fist that antivaxxers should be jailed or something to that effect. Yet another joo calling for extreme measures if we don’t vax up.
Hey Kramerdick…the Japanese were forced into interment camps under Demonrat leadership, Jim Crow Laws were under Demonrat leadership as well . Shall I go on dickwad ?
It can still get worse.

WOW! And I thought mac and cheese was gross.
Africans are always eating each other. They never developed civilization, they did manage to finally borrow a little bit.
dindus.
The sand niggers are stuck in the 8th century.
The dindus haven’t progressed since Lucy walked off the plains…
Go figure…
No pictures to accompany the menu?
What kind of sorry-ass marketing are these Nigerians up to?
Just wait till the locals find out that human head meat has such potential value!!!
After the Great Reset, what’s for dinner in your state ?
I re-read Atlas Shrugged last month, and when it came to Francisco d’Anconia’s speech above, I thought this IS where we are.
Our society no longer values or respects our contribution, our government treats us like tax donkeys and too many people in my country think it’s OK to hate us for being white, demand our papers, force us to reveal our health status and restrict our rights and freedom of movement and assembly until we comply.
It seems the time to go Galt for real is here and we need to stop making any contribution to the communist society the Davos people want to inflict on us. I’ve not been able to convince my spouse we need to GTFO of Canada, but they are willing to buy property out in the countryside, far from the city people who seek to allow our enslavement. We just need to find our Galt’s Gulch. I hope it will buy us enough time that we’ll be dead of old age when this fourth turning finally plays out.
Going Galt is suicide. It’s time to organize and take the system down hard.
The whole point of Galt, the competent man, was to counterpoint the non-Galt mass (tumor) of incompetent men (& women). Per Galileo, if you ain’t already Galt, “going” Galt is just quicker suicide than is already being practiced. Galt don’t need them that need his motor, but not vice versa.
Just for a chuckle, she probably wrote it between 1943 and 1946. I understand the book was edited word by word 5x to reduce all concepts to the minimum words necessary. Still 1168 pages…
“Reportedly, in response to the Julian Assange extradition ruling, Wikileaks has released a mass of documents. Here is a link to the index:
Here is an hour of how that doom is happening today. Ted Broer did a show just on our present condition and what’s happening. Skip the first minute.
