A post in response to the question, "Will never understand how Russia got away with invading Poland along with the Germans, we declare war on one and ally the other?"
Historically the Right wing on the global scene has done far better policing its own than has the Left. With this quirk in ideology and the closeness of Germany as a threat, the "enemy of my enemy is my friend" approach was taken. It is, of course, a two-edged sword--sometimes self-defeating for the Right, and very much subject to use against them by their enemies on the Left. We've seen that in the past few years with claims that "conservatives" are duty-bound to ally with the Left against supposed "fascists," even to the point of destroying their own policy agendas. Much of this stems from White/Western Guilt manifesting as what some call, "Hitler's Revenge"--the phenomenon that nationalism for Western (White) nations is perceived to be innately "Nazi" in the literal sense of the word (even if it's for the State of Israel!), while nationalisms of non-White/Western(ized) peoples are "liberating." Check out Herbert Marcuse's "Liberating Tolerance"--the idea that "true" tolerance requires INtolerance toward the Right. This is EXACTLY the motivation behind the current Cancel Culture. The USSR used Marcusian double standards at Nuremburg to attempt to have the legal theory be that it was illegal for specifically "fascist" regimes to wage "aggressive war," but NOT Leftist-Socialist regimes such as their own. Had that been adopted, it would have been used in what became the Cold War to prevent Western democracies from acting to defend their interests. Leftist elements within their own countries would have labeled them, "fascist," and thus have actual LEGAL basis for their undercutting of efforts to contain Soviet and Chinese expansionism. In the immediate context of circa 1940, the aligning with the USSR against Nazi Germany had an argument in its favor. The Nazis had an evil operation that needed to be stopped. The problem today, of course, is the Left's playbook use of that situation. Western-style "freedom" has shown itself in recent months to be far too susceptible to such subversion, with strong nationalist leaders and, indeed, Western heritage being the victims. Something different and stronger is needed--but that is a discussion for another venue.

VIDEO: Biden literally doesn't know what he's signing.
One commenter described this as being like a scene from a bad movie.
Actually, it's the mid-part of a trilogy:
2016: "A New Hope for America."
2020: "The Deep State Strikes Back."
2024: "Return of the MAGA."
And note Pelosi watching carefully to ensure things go according to plan.
Why my "fudding" (focus on baseline, minimalist approaches to RKBA practitioning).
Written with regard to "high-capacity" magazines, but more generally applicable.
I'm largely practical and function-focused when it comes to firearms and RKBA, not intent on indulgence or some sort of principle. If hicaps get buyback'ed or NFA'ed, there will be an even bigger run on low-caps. I wanted a baseline supply in advance of that.
Think about it. In that situation, if someone doesn't "comply with orders," and so buries their hicaps , they can't readily access them in a "situation." And they couldn't use unburied and unregistered ones in a normal self-defense event, because then the authorities would become aware of them. So, to maintain capability 24/7, low-caps are called for.
Hence, I tell people regardless of their attitude toward laws to buy non-AW arms and mags. Maybe even think way ahead of society and get a baseline revolver. (A Ruger Vaquero in .45 is downright iconic!) Even South Africa allows White people "one gun per lifetime," so I don't believe we'll see total gun ban this century, barring a complete and open collapse of American sovereignty. (And even then, the practicality issue would remain.) But the range of RKBA guarantee might narrow. And given the current trend of anti-gun focus being on long guns, not handguns, and liberals kinda liking being armed, at least at baseline, since Y2K and 9/11, revolvers will be the last thing banned.
I will say I'm anticipating the worst. Most likely, a buyback/NFA-ing on pistol mags won't be $200 per and 10rd limit. Too many liberals have autos with truly standard-capacity mags, and a number of liberal states have 15rd limit on pistols. Almost certainly the tax would be far lower, and almost as certainly the cap max would be more like 15, probably even 20. But I like to prep for the worst, as I said.

My generic first response to ALL Harris/Biden bullshittery.
Sometimes a people have to suffer for their mistakes.
American people, you voted enough for this pair to enable the Steal. Then you failed to support overturning the Steal. Then finally, and against the vision of the Founders, you failed to press your STATES to stand against the Steal (#FEDERALIST46). (BUT I DID!)
If I was a Martian, and thus had no skin in this whole game, I'd be laughing right now at how a free and armed people with every advantage let all of this happen. You have made our Constitution into the proverbial suicide pact.
Maybe it's not too late. Maybe.
NOW Rand Paul takes a stand -- Well said, but only after he failed America.
Rand Paul talks like that now, when it's (technically) academic.
On January 6, he personally demonstrated the Constitution to be a suicide pact (see Cats, Guns, and National Security: America has been hit down by its own "freedom," and held down by its own Constitution. ).
