Yes. Turns out, however, that those are STAGGERINGLY important differences.
Not really. It is clear that hoi polloi are going to believe whatever they want to hear based on whatever makes them feel good based on whatever ideology they have swallowed. That's never changed so has nothing to do with the character of whatever president is serving; so it's a given.

Equivocating regimes because neither one solved all the problems is intellectually dishonest, lazy, and frankly; really boring. We get it.
You have a valid point. No way am I talking about salving All the problems.. of course.. What I am speaking to is the definition of what the problems actually are and the methods and motivations employed in the pursuit of solving said problem.. and the lengths that will be gone to in order to employ said methods and motivations. Has it always been this way? Sure.. but when it gets exponentially worse generation after generation.. and if you know any history whatsoever.. it's kind of hard to ignore the puppet strings once you spot them, isn't it?
It's like watching a favorite movie after seeing the "making of". Makes it harder to suspend disbelief.

Honestly, It was about when I started in this forum that I started actually paying attention to this ****!
You taught me how to politic Asylum!! Back when I actually could possibly believe that people in such positions as the 'powers-that-be' are in could have an agenda that was anything aside from satiating their own lusts for power.
Do you think for a moment that I actually place blame on individual people for not solving problems? No no no
While I do think that this has been since the human race.. I believe that at this point in history that the stakes and much higher then they ever have been because of the capabilities that we have in every area of life(and death) .Those that have hedged themselves off from the majority of the world simply build their towers-of-babels higher and higher and higher and as this occurs they rest of the world is getting sucked dry from it and humanity with it.
What fascinates me is how to people take this stuff so seriously as if you can trust or believe any thing that any body says or actually really know what is actually going on? You people seem to have more faith in government than I have in God.
It MUST be a matter of true desperation and deep deep denial when you actually believe have the things that are spoken of here.. Or just for the "lulz"?
I guess it's a matter of preference.
