It’s the same as religions … and it all boils down to sales and salesmanship and marketing.
I know lots of charismatic people who could talk to you endlessly about bullshit and get you buy a used car and make you believe that it’s the best purchase for your situation … and they’ll make you believe that they are your best friend in the world.
Those same people are the same individuals that can make you believe all sorts of things … things like you should give them money in order to make the world a better place. Then they go on to convince other people to do the same.
You could say that their biggest skill is that they are salesmen but that’s only half the problem. The other half of the problem is that these sales people also attract the dumbest people. The combination of moderately capable salespeople and an extremely dumb community of people creates a group of individuals that can give one person a lot of power … then it creates a snowball effect where the small community attracts more dumb people and the community grows giving the one dumb idiot that started the whole thing more and more power.
The dumb idiot leader built their power and prestige on the stupidity of a mass of people. The more dumb illiterate and ignorant people you have in the world … the more likely this scenario will occur.
The biggest problem is not exactly him … it’s the same problem with Trump … it’s the legions of mindless stupid people that follow them.
Kings aren’t kings because of their intelligence, strength, ability or even the power or will of God.
Kings are kings because of the stupidity of a community of people

My palace burnt down … who are you again? … and where am I?
… and that’s why we never heard of this Star Wars character ever again … she froze death on the planet Hoth before reaching the first marker and her body and tautaun were never found.


Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and your family


First it was The History Channel … then it became alien conspiracy channel … then it morphed into the War Channel.

The only time blood doesn’t matter is when you’re claiming indigenous American or indigenous Canadian status.
Makes sense because this is how they read the Christian bible
In Canada with Irish Canadian friends, my favourite was always … JELLO SALAD … basically a bowl of coloured jello with its of fruit in it. The bowl was usually set alongside all the turkey, potatoes, vegetables and stuffing.
Every other time of the year, it’s called a children’s dessert … at Christmas time, it’s known as an adult’s gourmet salad.
Never understood it.
I’d rather pay higher prices to my local farmer that gives me quality food than a faceless corporation that gives me shitty products that travelled 10,000 kilometers and paid every single worker along that route as little as possible.
I left during the API fiasco but also in realizing that everything I was doing and participating in was essentially being used to make other people filthy rich.
Something absolutely outrageous like a pink jacket or a boa, a big flashy hat or pants with the cheeks cutout.
No one will say a thing because all the Irish people will be flopping around on the floor having seizures trying to spit out whatever thing they wanted to say.
Or just let every error occur in sight of everyone, delay fixing it at a reasonable time frame (not too long to inconvenience people, not to short to make them think it was easy)
