Wait, what?  200 members of the KSK would equal to almost 20% of its' establishment.

Something does not mesh here...But we are talking about the military where one of its' officers falsely claimed to be a Syrian refugee...

The most depressing thing about the entire culture is that we may have no choice but to turn into the things we hate - i.e. the progressive movement.  Because the mean and nasty methods they are using are the only ways to communicate with them in a way they understand.

I do not like it, and it is a culture and society that is in trouble if it has to revert to that stage, rather than progressing upward from the stage.  But right now, we have a side that simply does not care to understand messages in any other fashion.  Being nice and courteous and well-mannered is regarded as a sign of weakness and worthy of contempt by these folks, just another encouragement for renewed attack.

I personally think Ace of Spades has gone full-on Trumpkins in a way that cloud their judgment and good sense, but I think they might be correct in that we have to go the dark route.  Which is sad and depressing, since we still have to interact with other people, but the world might been reaching the tipping point for that.

Especially since history shows what Socialists do even to their no longer convenient allies, much less what they do to their opponents.

I always shake my head when I see the young(er) boys and girls today believing themselves as part of the People's Vanguards, members of the force that will reshape the world starting with the US and make it into a better, progressive place.  The exact scenario, down to a 'T,' has unfolded before.  The secondary and college students, the idealistic young, who joined Mao's Red Guards believed that, just as they believed the destruction they were causing in the Cultural Revolution would bring about a better, progressive world.

Some of them still believed it right up to the moment Mao ordered the People's Liberation Army to machinegun them into ditches.  The rest who avoided summary executions or labor camps, found they had completely wasted almost a decade of their lives, never realizing that they would be discarded when they no longer conveniently served a purpose.

The only question is the manner in which the Millenials will be disposed of, when their usefulness comes to an end.

Alternatively, a more exotic scenario is that ‘Oumuamua may be a fully operational probe sent intentionally to Earth vicinity by an alien civilization. Based on the PAN-STARRS1 survey characteristics, and assuming natural origins following random trajectories, Do et al. (201 derived that the interstellar number density of ‘Oumuamua-like objects should be extremely high, ∼ 2×1015 pc−3, equivalent to ∼ 1015 ejected planetisimals per star, and a factor of 100 to 108 larger than predicted by theoretical models (Moro-Martin et al. 2009). This discrepancy is readily solved if ‘Oumuamua does not follow a random trajectory but is rather a targeted probe. Interestingly, ‘Oumuamua’s entry velocity is found to be extremely close to the velocity of the Local Standard of Rest, in a kinematic region that is occupied by less than 1 to 500 stars.

You mean there is a glitch in the matrix?

That reminds me - I can kinda imagine what Steve would be writing regarding this coming Tuesday...."People who are afraid to voice their opinions for fear of being swatted down by the progressive bullies, are going to walk into the polling booth and decide to cock a snoot at the bullies."

It is time like Halloween that reminds me of Steve.  You could always count on him to post updates on the status of his candy bowl.

You have to hand it to them - of all the different ways to respond to the tragedy in Pittsburgh, the 'correct' people have managed to pick the worst option, which is likely not to help their position, but will hurt it.

If you are an Anti-Semite, you blame the Jews for everything bad, especially when it happens to the Jewish people.
