I know that I'm out of date, and I'm not blessed like you with the modern way of thinking that genocide is perfectly OK if it's in the service of a bloody, brutal Communist dictatorship.  You certainly are very modern, and you fit in very well with the morals of today's Democratic Party.

Sorry to be so old-fashioned.

I din't say it was OK. That was you misrepresenting the motive of those who don't share your ideology. Genocide, ethnic cleansing, torture, rape and mass slaughter is the old tribal way of thinking. I don't think it right. If you think I do, you have not been paying attention. Perhaps. you are just too biased to consider the possibility.

I just don't think the West was in a reasonable position to stop it. They weren't going to come in on the side of the north in exchange for them giving up tribal thinking. It was not going to happen. It just was too large a jump from the Domino Theory. Nixon just wanted out.

Yes, I am sorry you are obsessed with tribal thinking. Generational Dynamics is full of tribal thinking, of xenophobia, genocide and supposedly inevitable crisis war. The pattern has shifted but you are still with the Industrial Age pattern. You shouldn't be such an advocate of the old pattern as you see the results of it: genocide, ethnic cleansing, torture, rape and mass slaughter.

You think it's perfectly OK to censor news that favors Trump.

Trump has every reason to vilify Biden. If Fox or the White House thought the stories had any chance of sticking, even if just long enough for the vote to take place, they would have amplified it. What is the point of hiding a real October Surprise? The coastal media would have had no choice but react, and I would have heard of it. Fox and Trump didn't pick it up. I suspect that is because it would disappear under the slightest bit of fact checking. It works best in the shadows with the gullible fanatics. That would be you. This is conjecture. I was going to wait for a bit after the election was over to see if the allegations had legs, but I would be surprised if they did.

It would not be improper to ignore something so far out that the people who would benefit from it are ignoring it too.

I have seen a bit of ideological thinking. If something agrees with the ideology, ideologues will credit the sources as real even if no one else does. Trump and Fox take advantage of this tendency as much as anyone. Still, even they have some sense of protecting their reputations. If they wouldn't touch it, it must be flawed indeed.

I could say much the same for your lack of ethics. You misrepresent those who oppose your ideology commonly. In doing so, you lie. In clinging to the old values, most of your stuff is bad. Only those deeply committed to your ideology would give it the time of day. Your answer to criticism is to lie, laugh or do anything but apply logic, to attempt to justify your misrepresentations and lies.
