@DennoPenno thanks for the .

Perhap my response to @CrazySkeptic in the interchange below explains the common US reaction -

Without any sense of context to your reply on the post, I have no idea what parts of it you're in disagreement with to find it so sickening. You refer to the Paragraph I took from the article, if you even bothered to read the article, which it holds multiple points of narratives related to multiple countries. You can't possibly expect me to take your statement serious, as how, as you failed to apply substantial context describing the structure of a developed opinion while applying it to the particulars within.

Which in regards to Denno, I already expected a negative response from him were he to give one. Wait! A positive response in agreement to your statement I should say. Like most times, he rarely responds to my post. If he does, it's usually within a group cluster of those who are under the illusions of perception management who can't think for themselves. It's makes perfect sense for him to give your statement a thumbs up when that statement is basically non sensible. He, and a multitude of people like him here, only understand the exceptionalism of the US. They keep supporting that exceptionalism despite year after year of that exceptionalism betraying them/us year after year. And it doesn't matter which party they support. As their party is exceptional to each side as they fail to correlate the crimes and unethical practices each of their parties commit, in collaboration, and the representation within them. They don't recognize the collaboration because they can't think for themselves, and anything that projects reasoning towards questioning that exceptionalism can't be true. And that's undoubtedly because they have been taught to forget history, which has been managed for them in regards to what they're to know anyways, and don't look beyond the scope of that structure to learn how they've been conned for decades.

So there wasn't a chance in hell that Denno would find any of the information in the article as being legitimate, and would instantly give a thumbs up to your reply because that paragraph goes against all the grains of his ignorant brainwashing. He probably thinks China and Russia, for an example, are poor countries out to destroy America when they're not. Doesn't hold the knowledge that vast amount of their population are living quite better than us. Free healthcare and schooling. Public transpiration far exceeding ours in technology, add manufacturing to that. Homelessness is drastically lower than in the US. Add drug addition to that. Their societies are drastically more unified than ours. If fact, their societies closely resemble what our society looked like from about the 50s up to about the 80s before crack cocaine made its introduction into our country via the Reagan administration. Rick Sanchez is currently running his show from Moscow. He speaks about these attributes there regularly. To compare Moscow to DC, DC would mirror the worse case scenario our government and medias falsely put on many other capitals around the world. A fucking shit hole. And we have multiple shit holes in every fucking state in the US. China and Russia are like utopias compared to the US.

I already know for the most part when I post who is going to be negative and positive. Usually, who is going to fill a reply space here with non sense and predetermined useless rhetoric. Often indicating they didn't even read the article, just applying the same going echoing statements that have been in the history books for years to decades, stuck in an environment of never ending ignorance's. Denno is still living somewhere in a timeline well before the year 2000. Most likely thinks that the US was the major player in winning WWll. Possibly still believes that Iraq had WMDs. That Ukraine never had fascist. Russia is losing the war. Can't phantom the idea that our government has been supporting and funding terrorist since 1978. Who killed 4700 of our men and women in Iraq as we still support and fund them in Syria today. He still supports the type of representation and government that supports that structure of criminality. Still listens to his party brand of media canning him. Because he can't see past the manufactured exceptionalism of the delusional reality created for the mindless.

And there's plenty of people here like him. I'll repeat this as I do occasionally. There's a lot of people in this community with the label of {free thinker} on their profiles. And I'll argue a vast majority of them who do are nothing of the sort. It bewilders me on how they made it past the god illusion but can't see the delusional reality they're stuck in. Won't even consider it enough to question it. From administration to administration, the very same policies, especially in regards to foreign affairs, play out every 4 to 8 years under a new president. I staunchly stated what Biden would do. Trump before him. Trump again. We're looking at 12 years of the same policies where the country just keeps moving rightward into deeper fascism. Which that progressive nature has been a warning directed at us for decades now. And none of these partisan idiots after all this time can recognize it. What's even sadder today. Is that MAGA is turning on Trump recognizing they were again conned this time around, more than the last 4 years, Gaza, Ukraine, Syria, Iran, and the rest of the middle east. Do you think if they wheeled him out in a wheel chair, intravenously feeding him, breathing machine hooked up to him, piss and shit bags included, unable to speak, the idiots would still vote for him. All the media would have to do is make up a good narrative to win their votes. Russia and China are coming! !!!FUCK!!!

@William_Mary "the usual United States method, resolving the situation by military action."
But equally sanctions & covert interference in independent countries governance & peoples right to have views different to USA crimes against humanity.

@William_Mary your reminder of unit 731 & US failure to hold it to account 80+ years ago together with succeeding governments cover up is not proof that U S fascism is worsening just that it is more likely to be commented on by rare people like yourself. The sheeple as usual go baa-baa-ing on their way singing "the Whiffenpoof Song"

@William_Mary revisiting your critique has been interesting as much has occurred since early August. Today, 30 September 2025 I received notification of this wonderful example of what you so correctly describe above - [open.substack.com].
In forwarding it to a correspondent I simply commented -

"How wonderfully hypocritical to identify that China has been a good pupil & learnt from the US's behaviour toward it and other countries over the last 200 years. " And -
" On the subject of totalitarian dictatorship hasn't Trump just declared war on Portland & few other USA states & cities?"
As a result of listening to the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov at the UN the other day I was inspired to revisit my refutation of Socrates & other definition of intelligence. It has now been further amplified & become more encompassing than previous iterations whilst being simplified & is now described as a manifesto. I will appreciate hearing your critique and comments:

@William_Mary to celebrate the creation of the manifesto I had it rewritten in the style & dialect of a rhyming poem written by the great 18 century Scottish poet Robert Burns, a man who would have had few difficulties in understanding the manifesto. The result is not perfect, Enjoy -

@FrayedBear {The Trump administration has successfully pushed back with tariffs, export controls, and investment scrutiny, curbing some CCP aggression and revitalizing domestic manufacturing, but it needs to go further by fully decoupling supply chains and imposing harsher penalties on enablers. The so-called “trade war” exposed this: China’s economic coercion, including tariffs and supply chain manipulations, aims to bankrupt American industries while flooding markets with subsidized goods.}

What has been successful? The better question. Successful for who? If what our citizenship and other western citizenships are experiencing, outside of the nations now exiling from the western dominance, is considered successful, then success has been perverted into a delusional reality. Another victim in agenda control modeling.

If someone attempts to persuade you into doing something for you, partner with, as was done with China about 6 decades ago, attempting to change every aspect of your life, eventually showing obvious signs of betrayal, do you allow it or do you turn the program into your advantage? Everything your "partner" has done was designed to diminish you and destroy you. Untimely coming to label you as an enemy publicly. Do you continue to be the victim or do you protect yourself? You're China. China, what's you course of action? I'll be Russia. I'm fighting back. Do you want to join me?

The narrative above is one based on the after effects of a partnership that began pre 1999. After the initial program of drawing China in during the Nixon administration. Over 5 decades ago. I was still in grade school. And that cat and mouse show has been going on ever since. Eventually, the mouse who has received dizzying batting from the cat all those years will find a hole to draw the cat in and trap it. Now the cat is trapped and as desperate as the mouse used to be when it was being taken advantage of.

Who do we blame for this as it effects us all? Do we blame those who have a centuries long history of unethical practices behind them, or those who are protecting their own security while promising a new united world that the unethical has never lived up to while betraying all their previous partners? China, doesn't have a history of aggression on other nations. While Russia has only been fighting for her own security against unwanted aggression while her own home has been constantly targeted for her vast resources. I'm personally going to go with history here. Where it leads me away from the unethical environment. I'll take my chances there being the citizenships within them are doing quite better than where I'm at.

As I read through the rest of that, it's hard to tell if it's a program of demonization of China, or an orchestrated means to kill western societies on purpose for an underling agenda in partnership with China. Today, China is only what was given to her in which she built off of towards advancement. Which is what I expect my government to do with my participation in supporting it. Mine has betrayed me and my fellow citizenship on every level. Where I see China has greatly improved the Chinese homeland and citizenship. To me, this isn't rocket science. Intellectual observation and history indicates to me that I'm on the wrong side of 2 realities, and in the hands of people who don't give a rats ass about us or our country.

I now often dream that I had been wise enough in my youth and prepared for my future better. Because if I had, I wouldn't be in the US today. I'd have left some time ago. But I was stuck in a society that was ass backwards and betraying me my entire life on every level imaginable. My awakening came way to late for me due to it.

@William_Mary I suspect that on reflection the majority of people around the world have similar regrets. However where is there that truly gives people angst free existance? I read only a couple of days ago that Russia has an entry permit for those espousing traditional lifestyles ie.. belief in a sky fairy, refusal to accept that their are more than two genders other than in biological reproduction terms. On reading the article my heart had at first soared reading that here was a land pursuing musical, dress, artistic & dance traditions rather than western monetary culture for their parody of cultural excellence. My dream was sadly shattered when I got to the bit about religion & hidebound beliefs prohibiting freedom of sexual proclivity.

Like you I have been amazed how in my lifetime China has gone from a country having barefoot doctors, travelling on bicycles carrying the barefoot doctor's bible of instruction on how to deal with all disease & injury encountered, to a country now being employed by USA to research covid & other biological weapons of mass destruction & producing some of the best doctors in the world.

Sadly agreeing with your conclusion that many of the world's people's ills are due to the US administration but realising they are currently inescapable until world wide people reset their commonly held beliefs such as what is intelligence, what is religion, what is democracy, what is the true measure of a countries success?... However like the noxious effect of many chemicals now polluting the world on a global scale those beliefs & understandings are now embedded within all humans & are unavoidable wherever your location & degree of precaution.

@FrayedBear O I get it. I have issues on a few levels with the conservative take in Russia and China. Being an atheist obviously, and the views on LGBTQ community primarily. The RT shows page has a talk show called Moscow Mules. It's kind of like a political satire show. The guy that host it is very much on attack mode on the LGBTQ community, religion minded, conservative by all means. The speak coming out of a lot of it is bewildering also in regards to Trump. And not just this show, on a lot of levels. The thing there is the conservative part though. They put to much emphasis on the Trump speak as though it's good for changing America. A paragraph or 2 of it would go well in the article above though. Where the underlining results are left out. Hiding the questions that need to be asked. You know, that stupid shit I'm always preaching here.

But those attributes exist within their societies also. They're just still more in the closet yet there. As someone who has over 2 decades of following alternative life styles, I can assure you that those societies have many people who are involved in LGBTQ activities at some level. Quite frankly, you might be surprised how many people are guy or bi-sexual anywhere. It's quite a wide spanning existence. The speak against it obviously is there, but I don't see it as being as violent and derogatory as I view it in the US. And for fucks sake, bi-sexuality with Chinese and Russian females is so wide spread in porn alone it's absurd only to those who are basically ignorant to the nature of it.

I personally wish I was rich enough to find me a small to medium village or community on the border of Russia and China to move to. I don't need a ton of money, just enough to survive on. Some place about or within an hour or so of a decent sized city with a climate like Ohio and free of flooding and earthquakes. All I need is my wife, cats, Husky, and a car and my motorcycle.
