    Hope is the denial of reality

    Reading about the leaker of classified documents: a far-right loon (who regularly made anti-Semitic and racist comments) and cared mostly about guns, God, and various conspiracies. I wonder how many people there are like that in positions where they could do serious harm to the US.

    I guess he never fully recovered from being banned from this forum

    Not to be glib, but don't certain branches of your various government agencies sort of encourage far right loons to work within them? Of course there's a difference between a looney-tunes dude who shares government info with his discord buddies to be Cool, and the kinds who eaves-drop on doctor King, but the variance within that mind-set would account for both. It's a systemic issue that I don't think can be solved easily.
    In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
    The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.

    Unbelievably not the dumbest thing Republicans did in Congress today

    Thinking about the thread title, American conservatism, as in the Party of Reagan way back when, didn't survive, did it? Wait till Trump declares victory next year, win or lose. It's going to be a hell of a show.
    The Rules
    Copper- behave toward others to elicit treatment you would like (the manipulative rule)
    Gold- treat others how you would like them to treat you (the self regard rule)
    Platinum - treat others the way they would like to be treated (the PC rule)
