Ships... cars... trucks... doesn't seem to be much difference
between a sea of water and a sea of dessert to me.

Technically yes you can. You can also plumb it to the kitchen sink. Both
are about as useful.

Democracy only "tends" to not elect people like him. Without it, we'd
have more of them.

Most of them have wised up. He and his type are not very popular any
more.

Bullshit. It is ALL about the hardware and always has been from
monkeys with bones to Chinese and rockets (centuries ago).

It IS all about the hardware, no matter how you (or they) try to make
it not includible.

They claim they want to go back to their idea of "fundamentals",
with no radios or technology, etc., yet they need and use technology
to facilitate their efforts, and would readily take up any goods
remaining after they "conquer" in their murderous, anarchistic way.

They are true scum. You need to see that. They do NOT get to hide
behind the armor of a claim that they are backed by their religion,
because they are not backed by their religion.


You giving them any credence whatsoever can cost lives.
