We don’t require an attack from outer space to put the planet in ultimate terror. Nuclear weapons will suffice. Who among us believes that this eventuality will not present itself? Look at where the nuclear code is currently held in the U.S.

I would like to pose a question in regards to holocausts and civilian deaths. Does anyone remember WWII, the war in the Pacific. After one of the greatest military failures in world history at Pearl Harbor the U.S. detonated one and then another weapon of mass destruction over two separate civilian (not a military offensive) large population cities. This was after rounding up citizens and legal immigrants and putting them in “detainment camps”. People who had skin color and facial features that were “different” and were stereotyped and exaggerated in cartoons. Now please tell me who is surprised at what? Exactly.

This entire sorry episode has,if nothing else,lain bare the lies that western imperialism is based upon. The veil has been rent and the true nature of our much vaunted “western civilisation” has been exposed to the gaze of global scrutiny.

Spot on, and them feeling good because they didn't bomb Kyoto because of its cultural heritage. Such generosity 🙄.

The other rather weird thing is the rush to help Ukraine from Russia and then the Ukrainians who are posing as holocaust Jews, from thousands of years ago, now in Israel. Jews with absolutely no ME heritage or DNA at all - just another bunch of paedophile and sex offender liars.

Who, in their right mind would choose to set up a Jewish state in a place mostly populated by Muslims with a smattering of christians and of jews? Only a people who conned the US through mistranslated bible passages given to evangelical Christians, who have become more Jewish in nature than those illegally inhabitating Palestinian land in the area they have named Israel in their pretence that they belong in the area.

"What a tangled Web they weave as they practise to deceive" They forget that the world is not totally populated by easily fooled people, and more are waking up all the time - as CK's and his following death has shown us yet again.

There is relatively little compassion in the world when compared to the very plentiful anger or rage. I, too, have been angrier over the last few years — perhaps in large part in relation to the Internet 'angry algorithm' sending me the stories, etcetera, it has (unfortunately correctly) calculated will successfully agitate me into keeping the (I believe, overall societally-/socially-damaging) process going thus maximizing the number of clicks/scrolls I’ll provide it to sell to product advertisers.

Nonetheless, we, at least as individuals, can resist flawed yet normalized human/societal nature thus behavior. If enough people instead perform truly humane acts, positive change on a large(r) scale may result.

Perhaps somewhat relevant to this are the words of American sociologist Stanley Milgram (1933-1984), of Obedience Experiments fame/infamy: “It may be that we are puppets — puppets controlled by the strings of society. But at least we are puppets with perception [and] awareness. And perhaps our awareness is the first step to our liberation.”

Still, the human race may so desperately need a unifying existential/fate-determining common cause, that an Earth-impacting asteroid threat or, better yet, a vicious extraterrestrial attack likely is what we have to collectively brutally endure together in order to survive the longer term from ourselves.

We all would unite for the first time ever and defend against, attack and eventually defeat the humanicidal multi-tentacled ETs, the latter needing to be an even greater nemesis than our own formidably divisive politics and perceptions of differences, both real and perceived — especially those involving race, religion and nationality.

During this much-needed human alliance, we’d be forced to work closely side-by-side together and experience thus witness just how humanly similar we are in the ways that really count. [Albeit, I've been told, one or more human parties might actually attempt to forge an alliance with the ETs to better their own chances for survival, thus indicating that our deficient human condition may be even worse than I had originally thought.]

Yet, maybe a half-century later when all traces of the nightmarish ET invasion are gone, we’ll inevitably revert to those same politics to which we humans seem so collectively hopelessly prone — including the politics of scale. And, yet once again, we slide downwards.

PostScript: Before non-Caucasian people became the primary source of newcomers to North America, thick-accented Eastern Europeans were the main targets of meanspirited Anglo-Saxon bigotry. As a thick-accented/broken-English 1950s Eastern-European immigrant to Canada, my (now-late) father experienced such mistreatment. ... If Canada and the U.S. were to revert back to a primarily Caucasian populace, if not some hypothetical VDARE whites-only ‘utopia’, I wouldn’t be surprised if Eastern Europeans with a thick Slavic accent would inevitably again become the main target of bigotry within the dominant Euro-Canadian/American ethnicity/populace.

All true. It would take some great catastrophe to throw us together to co-operate - and maybe even this wouldn't work. And agreed that whoever is the most different within a group of mean bigots, is the one that will get "othered" and singled out. Such is human nature.

Trump is a total corporate president. The dominance of capital, the movement of trillions of dollars into the hands of the extremely wealthy, has created intense levels of corruption in our government and internationally. The US produces 60% of the World’s weapons, from 5% of the World’s population. In other words our country is the dominant corrupter of the World. We’re the bad guys. We have a responsibility to our country, our wonderfully diverse People, and to the World, the Planet, to overthrow the extremely wealthy sociopaths that have stolen our country. Israel is proof of their capacity for ruthless evil. We have a job to do.

You are absolutely right. As I've always said, I think Western Civilization is a great idea. I think we should try it someday. 😏

Douglas Murray is actually the perfect representative of "Western Civilization".

A well-dressed and well-educated pseudo-intellectual. His entire persona is fraudulent. Pretending to be civilized while hiding an obtuse, hateful, and medieval mentality.

Maybe… just maybe our world is perfect! A bizarre abstract thought process that doesn’t even consider civilisation relevant or the end product. Its purpose is brutal and so we have a catalyst in the sickness of evil, because without contrast, consciousness cannot evolve. Is that why we all suffer and grow? Even what is causing pain via the system of evil these are unwitting slaves must evolve, they are compelled to play their part in their ignorance.

We are all at different levels of consciousness and via default we help those around us to grow. But it doesn’t seem like that does it?

As it should, since he should have been in prison for a few years by now, if not for his murdering of Palestinians. Can't wait until he is sent to prison for the rest of his life or his death, whichever comes first.
