Dave Ramsey, born 09/03/1960 Boomer: born between 1946 and 1964

That’s where his advice is coming from.

A lot of boomers are convinced, that everything is always „your own fault“.

I’m convinced that those boomers simply refuse to consider anything else than „your own fault“ because based on this logic they can attribute their wealth to themselves instead of admitting they just got lucky with their birth year.

Sounds like you think everything will be fine after he’s dead.

In case I’m wrong: stop reading here.

Trump isn’t some virus that has befallen the country. He was elected, by Americans. People with certain beliefs voted for him and those beliefs will still be there after trumps death.

It’s not going to be over when he’s dead. It’s just a short break until the next one comes along.

To break the cycle you need to make sure, that people don’t adapt those beliefs anymore.

God rested on the seventh day, which was the Sabbath, so Saturday.

After the resurrection of Jesus, which was on a Sunday, Sunday became an important day for Christianity. This was the reason why the Roman Emperor Constantine made Sunday a resting day. It was still the first day of the week, though.

In the 20th century, it was decided (only for secular/economic reasons) to keep the weekend, Saturday and Sunday, as a unit and call it the end of the week, making Monday the first day of the week.

Just out of curiosity, you mentioned “this world - filled with wars and chaos” and also your hope that things get better: do you do something to work towards things getting better or will this be handled by God?

The AfD is way past the 20%, and if you’d say, that Germany is turning way too far right, I’d agree. If you’d say, that Germany votes more and more fascist, I’d agree as well. I do see the seriousness in this, and I try to fight it. I don’t try to make it look harmless, I don’t try to minimise those issues.

The amount was sufficient for the government “they” have now.

So go ahead and dream on that it’s not as bad as I made it look like.

The “ultra patriotism” does exist. You don’t like this fact and you try to make it seem less harmless by insisting that not all Americans are like this, just a couple of weirdos.

By making it seem harmless you normalise this behaviour, but that’s not the way to go if you want to end this.

Why you shouldn’t compare the US to Nazi Germany?

US Americans are learning right from the start how awesome their country is. The best in everything, no other country can compete, no other country is better than them.

Also they are so proud to have won against Nazi Germany and they also think that it was solely them who did this. Allies? No need to mention them.

So it’s unthinkable to them, that the best country in the world, their country, could be (even if only partially) as bad as Nazi Germany, the one they defeated on their own.

To me cruelty is not dependent on malicious intent because it’s not about the intent, but the unnecessary pain it causes. The alternative would be calling it “indifference” or “ignorance” (but I’m having a hard time with this, as it somehow looks like ignoring the pain).

I guess I understand where you’re coming from though. You want to make it as easy as possible for others to choose the “other way”, without feeling called out. No matter how you define “cruelty”, your approach might be the better one, as it is not about being right, instead it is about maximising the chances for this dog to live his life without a crate

Just saw this picture in the article “we are all Charlie Kirk”, which is clearly stolen from “je suis Charlie”, created by French art director Joachim Roncin on Twitter shortly after the January 7, 2015, (a real) terrorist attack on the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris.

Is there anything that those faschists can come up with on their own?

Maybe I’m wrong, but this crate thing seems to be something very US American. It’s absolutely unusual in my country and it’s seen as kind of cruel to keep a dog in there for hours.
