The USA is all that is standing against World Governance

Imagine what other countries are doing, virtually none with the individual freedoms we have in the US. They are surveilling their populations, limited only by their various technical capabilities. In today's world, this means no Fourth Amendment. We already know only the US and Czechs (and less so the Czechs) have a Second Amendment. There is certainly no Tenth Amendment anywhere.

This coupled with the UN, WHO, WCC, WEF, et al, all seeking World Governance.

What really separates China, Russia the UK, France or Germany? Not very much. A couple of terms of a different party in charge and some rallying of have-nots, and all the power will be gleefully laid at the feet of some supposed friendly few. It presently takes a LOT less to align our allies with our enemies. Israel is a great example.

The US will be left against the rest of the World. Perhaps we already are. This is really scary. I had not looked at it this way before.

    It has always been the U.S. against the rest of the world. On occasion, the U.S. discovered countries who had some goals in common with the U.S. (opposing Hitler, Communism (but no longer)), but the reason that America has been uniquely better than the rest of the world is because of its founding principles. As America retreats from its founding principles and gets diluted by the rest of the world, inventors like us disappear ... just like in Atlas Shrugged.

        If any country has been considered "rebel scum" (reference to Star Wars), it is America. I wear the moniker of "rebel scum" proudly.

          So many people associate Trump with the Empire, but it is just not so, at least most policies

            Antifa is allegedly anti-fascist and uses force to get compliance with its beliefs. Biden was the most fascistic president in American history. Trump gets accused of fascism and is the victim of fascism (Remember Mar-A-Lago?). I will agree that he is on the edge of what I would consider tolerable in terms of too aggressive in the use of force, However, when you consider just how many people are here illegally, how violent and well-funded Antifa is, and that illegals do affect census counting and, therefore, federal government "spending", he almost has to use the level of force that he is. Using any less would be unjust to producers. Arguably, he is not sending enough illegals out. Most people I hear say that 9 or 10 million illegals came during Biden's era. How many has Trump deported? Just a small fraction of those. I am willing to let the illegals stay ... if they pay their share of America's debt - about $100 K per person.

        Perhaps age 58 is a young-in in this community. I shrugged for quite a while, particularly with regard to my UV sterilization device, until I got my shadow banning by Google/YouTube reversed recently. At that point, I un-shrugged in September. In the meantime, I worked on a few other inventions that are getting close to ready to also debut. This quite possibly is my best year ever.

    The developments in Canada are unbelievable. So sad that such a beautiful place could be so totalitarian. I often say the same thing about California, though. By the time my kids are my age America probably won't be recognizable...

      We really should just do 1812 over, and fix the thing

        It's looking like some of the Canadian provinces, especially Alberta, want to leave Canada and possibly join the US. According to reports I've seen it's a strong movement, but not yet strong enough. If Ottawa keeps slapping around the citizenry, the movement may get a lot stronger. Keeping America free is the first step for Americans at this point.

          That would be awesome! We could drive to without crossing that political shit show! I would buy property there, after they lifted the insane gun control rules.
