1: The civil war was about 400 families of rich, conservative slave-owners convincing the poor to fight and die in order to protect property that robbed the poor of wage paying jobs. The poor were dying for a cause that really didn't affect them but media like Cannibals All by George Fitzhugh and provocateurs like John C. Calhoun made them believe some dangerous force was out there going to take what little they had.

2: The potential civil war brewing is about 400 families of rich, conservative wage slave-owners convincing the poor to fight and kill in order to protect a system that has robbed the poor of wage paying jobs. The poor are now supporting a cause that really doesn't affect them but media like (pick any RW media medium) and provocateurs like (pick any right wing carnival barker) made them believe some dangerous force was out there going to take what little they had.

See, whatever your name was with Charlie Kirk bashing social studies in schools, this is the skill set social studies teachers like me teach to our students. Cause-Effect. Causation over Time. Relations between past and current events. We outfit our students with a metronome called a Bullshit Detector and tell them when it swings faster, you're listening to bullshit.

As George Carlin said: “Kids have to be warned that there's bullshit coming down the road. That's the biggest thing you can do for a kid. Tell them what life in this country is about [...] a whole lot of bullshit that needs to be detected and avoided.”

Anti-Semitism is part of western civilization

The world did nothing when Jews were slaughtered throughout western civilization's history, did nothing during the Holocaust, and did not want the survivors in their countries.

Every time the Arabs attacked Israel unprovoked, the world did nothing. As soon as Israel started started winning or Israel does anything to an Arab, the world screams bloody murder or demands Israel stop.

In the US, Maryland colony made it a capital offense to be anything but Christian. Peter Stuyvesant wanted to expel Jews from New Amsterdam, the US refused to allow the refugees on the SS St. Louis to enter the US thus dooming them to the Holocaust, and recently had told Jews that we (I am Jewish) "won't replace" them.

Jews have been a convenient scapegoat for centuries that Christians have used successfully. Jews have been blamed for everything like the death of Christ, the Black Death, the Great Depression, and causing problems with our Space Lasers.

I have come to the realization that both sides of the spectrum hate us, but that the right side is more open with it. It is just like racism. Boston was just as racist as Birmingham, except Alabama was more in your face and Boston was more covert.

Same with antisemitism. Sadly, as said earlier, both side hate us. As Paul Newman's character in Exodus said, "when things go down, we've always been alone. Jews have no friends."

Trump Praises Saudi Arabia, Slams PGA Tour at Final LIV Golf Event in Miami

Source: Yahoo Sports

Former President Donald Trump is playing host to another LIV Golf event this week.

Trump played in a pro-am on Thursday ahead of the LIV Golf season finale at his Trump National Doral course in Miami, playing nine holes with Brooks Koepka and then nine holes with Sergio Garcia.

It marks the second time that Trump has hosted a LIV Tournament this season, following the controversial league’s stop at his Bedminster course in New Jersey.

Trump has sided with LIV Golf since its inception, which shouldn’t be a surprise given his previous relationships with the PGA Tour, the PGA of America and other traditional golf organizations.

Not that I give a damn about the PGA or golf in general, but this man is completely against America.

Is there not one brutal, authoritarian regime he doesn't have glowing words for?
