You are missing the fact that in Minneapolis during peaceful protests there were BOOGALOO boys, Proud Boys and various other groups of people dressed all in black with black facemasks and sun glasses so that they LOOKED like POC who were breaking windows and setting stuff on fire that were NOT EVEN A PART of the protests, rather were trying to riot, destroy so that the BLM protestors would get the blame!!! THIS SHIT NEEDS TO BE TALKED ABOUT!!!

They were Black Bloc who used direct action, in contrast to the BLM protesters, among which were police agitators (as with all protests).

The difference between humans and animals is that animals would never allow the stupid ones to lead the pack.

Due to high infant mortality, the lack of luxury in the wild, and even common animals being in lower numbers than humans (except for certain domestic ones like chickens) there are no stupid animals, as animals are relatively the same intelligence. However, lower animals rule by physical abilities whilst higher animals rule by intelligence (except matriarchal non-primates like elephants and whales, which are clans which have male family members come each mating season to mate).

Isn't all of this destructive behavior coming from Putin? Who else hates America this much? He is just giggling in his vodka.

It is coming from the Conservative Lions who wanted Agenda 47 in 2025, and in the event it fails, Project 2025 will be implemented in 2026 as a backup. Since much of the two are conterminous and Trump is using executive orders, we can assume Agenda 47 will be passed this years and Project 2025 will be passed at the end of March 2025.

So why aren't business leaders fighting this insane brain drain?

It is not a brain drain: meritocracy has never existed, and education hasn't been good since sometime in the C.E. 900s (the tenth century: I specified "the tenth century" to show it was not a typo) due to the depreditations of the Viking Age (like Varangian river pirates) and Mediterranean pirates: steppe peoples also contributed to the deprivations which caused this cultural decline.

Garret Keizer wrote a great piece about Donald and nihilism in The New Republic, circa 2018.
