The Miller Doctrine - The American Prospect
prospect.org
Stephen Miller is in large part dictating U.S. foreign policy, with a mindset of unilateral violence on a maximum scale.

    This guy is such a little dweeb.

    I wonder how many swirlies he got in junior high. Seeing him being super douchey and “edgy” in that video on the bus tells you everything you need to know about this asshat.

      You don’t think this guy was as deeply embedded with bullies as possible?

      Have you seen his school rant about leaving messes for janitors because it’s their job to clean?

      That’s not the style of a weird autistic kid being bullied, he has just been empowered in his really wormy style of evil and privilege.

      I hate how much I’m seeing the current administration used for the argument “we need to bring bullies back” when the bullies are often the wealthy privileged who look down on the weird peasants and their lack of successful social signaling.

        Honestly, when I see him? I could easily see him getting bullied in the school I went to, at least. It could be that Miller benefited from some kind of protection afforded him by either the status of his parents or teachers/staff watching out for him, I have no idea.

        In the school I went to? If some dipshit went and made that speech, with that demeanor and self-entitled attitude? I could easily see him getting aggressively bullied later, and it wouldn’t be “cyberbullying”, either, LOL.

        I am pretty sure that most of his cabinet and Pumpkinhead himself were terrible bullies, but I do wonder if certain people like Miller never learned any lessons about writing checks with his mouth that his ass couldn’t cash.

        I do wonder if someone who wasn’t white banged some girl he liked and he never got over it. He seems like a gigantic pussy with a huge chip on his shoulder about foreigners and non-whites.

      Notable that he had a debate in high school on how it shouldn’t be the responsibility of students to clean up their trays in the cafeteria. He argued that the school should hire people to clean up after them. He has always been like this.

    (unilateral violence on a maximum scale == The failing flailing bitch method. I pooped my pants in the high chair and spilled my plate on the floor method. Kick the dog beat the child method.) These people are some of the most vain and superficial apes that have ever lived on this planet… Very emotional queens… You don’t look tough but you got some strapped idiots surrounding you. The normies are starting to see the cracks. What a chapter. People will celebrate the day these people die. Meanwhile our “enemies” are stoic asf mogging these turdz… like 90% home ownership like we doing it wrong. Pho_sure just another closure

    This neatly illustrates why I’m an anarchist - because institutionalized authority has made it such that the United States - a nation of 340 million people - is engaged in overtly destructive and internationally criminal violence and brutality not because the people have demanded it or even desired it, but because a handful of fucking psychopathic pieces of shit have managed to fight and claw and wheedle and lie their ways into positions from which they have the authority to make it so.

    And that is, by any reasonable measure, insane.

    Any system that allows for such a thing rather obviously should not exist. And that the United States, with its intricate system of checks and balances and its guaranteed freedoms and its strictly mandated adherence to the rule of law could reach this point clearly demonstrates that the problem is not how authority is institutionalized but merely if it is. If it is, then it can be, and sooner or later will be, abused for the questionable benefit of a few and to the detriment of all the rest of the world.

    So it quite simply cannot be institutionalized. That’s the only sane approach.

    So all that’s left is to wait for humanity to grow the fuck up - to evolve psychologically, sociologically and philosophically to the point that they no longer have or feel a need to have some institutional mommy and daddy to tell them how to and how not to behave.

    Maybe in another few centuries…

        Thanks I guess for providing an example of one of the ways in which humanity needs to grow the fuck up - reach a point at which we generally actually think about things that people actually say rather than just being bitter slaves to our preconceptions and prejudices.

        Hopefully your kids will do a better job of it. Or maybe their kids.
