They'll have to draw new cards, formulate new plans

2019-07-17 02:11:30 UTC  

Macron was a misfire, so they won't try the same move again

2019-07-17 02:11:30 UTC  

You think the real big leaguers even allow for the possibility of losing their power due to something as asinine as a democratic election?

2019-07-17 02:11:46 UTC  

That's not what it's about

2019-07-17 02:11:55 UTC  

Mafia will be mafia, that's never gonna change

2019-07-17 02:12:19 UTC  

They just don't own candidates, they own entire bureaus, entire political parties.

2019-07-17 02:12:56 UTC  

They win by presenting the population with a game they know they themselves can't even lose.

2019-07-17 02:13:12 UTC  

I know, but I don't worry about that, because if I did, I could just as well kill myself. It would mean that trying at all is meaningless. And I don't believe that, because I believe life is a constant struggle between good and evil.

2019-07-17 02:13:13 UTC  

While concealing any real method of unseating them with extreme prejudice.

2019-07-17 02:13:38 UTC  

Wouldn't it make more sense to kill *them?*

2019-07-17 02:13:40 UTC  

Evil will never stop acting, and so good people should also never stop either. But our tactics can change.

2019-07-17 02:13:50 UTC  

Rather than yourself, I mean.

2019-07-17 02:13:54 UTC  

No, this is the dilemma that I was talking about earlier

2019-07-17 02:13:56 UTC  

Speaking hypothetically.

2019-07-17 02:14:22 UTC  

You can't ruin the reputation of your people for the greater good, look what harm it did to the Jews

2019-07-17 02:14:44 UTC  

Having a spine isn't a bad reputation.

2019-07-17 02:15:10 UTC  

They conquered Israel unprovoked, that's not "having a spine"

2019-07-17 02:15:23 UTC  

I wasn't referring to the Jews.

2019-07-17 02:15:32 UTC  

But I am, and I'm doing this for a reason

2019-07-17 02:16:07 UTC  

Hitler ruined the German reputation
The Jews harmed their reputation
It doesn't help the people in the long run

2019-07-17 02:16:27 UTC  

Germany's reputation being ruined was, frankly, a team effort

2019-07-17 02:16:41 UTC  

Most Germans didn't ask for this

2019-07-17 02:17:16 UTC  

No, I mean, some of it was Hitler and the Nazis, some of it was their enemies' lies.

2019-07-17 02:17:48 UTC  

Sure, but Hitler didn't have to go to war and murder Jews, it was his stupid ideas about the economy that did this

2019-07-17 02:18:04 UTC  

He was an idiot, he didn't think big, and he didn't think long-term

2019-07-17 02:18:51 UTC  

Moral dimensions are certainly an important factor. But speaking from a purely strategic point of view, his biggest failure was underestimating his opponent, and how extensive their influence was.

2019-07-17 02:19:03 UTC  

I strongly disagree

2019-07-17 02:19:13 UTC  

The people of the future will always judge history, and they're very powerful

2019-07-17 02:19:24 UTC  

Because if you're dead, you have no voice

2019-07-17 02:19:31 UTC  

It was kind of a case of him being, in one way, *more* correct than he really knew.

2019-07-17 02:20:31 UTC  

Basically, because of how deep the international banking elite already had their claws into the world nations, it ensured that any attempt to seize territory from them, would result in a world war, with tremendous forces rallying against him, whether the people of those nations really wanted it or not.

2019-07-17 02:21:19 UTC  

If you examine contemporary news sources, the war was often *very unpopular* but that didn't matter, because the government actors were invested.

2019-07-17 02:21:24 UTC  

Look

2019-07-17 02:21:29 UTC  

I'm not saying Hitler had an easy task

2019-07-17 02:21:35 UTC  

I'm saying he chose the worst actions

2019-07-17 02:21:56 UTC  

Some were what should have obviously been considered bad decisions, yes.

2019-07-17 02:22:14 UTC  

Others, made more sense at the time, and only retrospect reveals how much of a mistake they really were.

2019-07-17 02:22:49 UTC  

It was a time of revolutions, many people made similar mistakes, not just Hitler, so yeah I agree on that

2019-07-17 02:23:05 UTC  

We should learn from those mistakes and find what are actually the best moves

2019-07-17 02:23:21 UTC  

Like chess players who go from low rating to super GM rating

2019-07-17 02:23:36 UTC  

We need to stop thinking short-term, small scale
