I was hacking Voting Machines, that aren't even run by a microprocessors, nor connected to the internet so it was a pretty nifty trick. 

Seriously, I only took Russian because a language was required to graduate, and I was sick of Spanish.  My school actually required a core curriculum that everyone had to have science, math, humanities and a language.  Oh, the horror!  I quickly forgot the Russian after the final exam. 

I took one semester of Russian.  I took 4 years of French and 2 or 3 of German and can speak and understand some of those two to this day.  I did not take Spanish simply because everyone else was and I don't do the herd.  Now I wish I had taken Spanish, I would have tons of opportunity to use it, and very little opportunity to use French or German.  I did use my Russian however to ensure Trump won in 2016.

Population control comes about through education and modernization of society.

This. As nations rise economically, their birth rate plummets. The problem is not too many people; the problem is an imbalance between the advanced nations and the poor ones and the long term problem is going to be too few births. This planet has way more than enough space and resources to support many more times our current population. Forced population control is the worst thing you could do. Not only does it deny people the basic human freedom of reproduction, it backfires as China is finding out:

Population naturally declines when the economy industrializes and moves away from subsistence farming. Women getting educations and careers may be the single greatest factor limiting birth rates because it gives women meaning and purpose beyond motherhood and rising household income removes the need for children to work for family survival. Children become a financial liability rather than a financial asset. Of course access to birth control is needed and as a country modernizes it gains access unless there are religious prohibitions.

Pockets of religious “cults” such as Mormons, Amish, Hasidic Jews, some Catholics and Muslims still reproduce prolifically but in general the higher a nation comes economically the lower their overall birth rate until replacement is threatened. When you go negative with replacement you are heading for extinction.

All the developed nations will face Japan’s problem eventually. Right now countries such as the U.S. with its legal and illegal immigration do not seem to be in danger but it’s masked. The population growth is among the lower socioeconomic groups and creating an imbalance. Illegal immigrants are no longer just from Mexico but from all over the world, where economic conditions are worse than here.

The two biggest areas of over population are India and Africa and in both much of the problem is due to poverty. If these areas pull themselves up out of poverty the population will stabilize and then eventually could begin to decline as what is happening in China.

The goal should not be to reduce the world’s birth rate. The goal should be to achieve a high standard of living everywhere in the world and to keep the birth rate around replacement (roughly equal to the number of deaths). Population should stabilize somewhere around 10 billion.

Good deal - guess so many reflexively disagree with me, that I am starting to do it too.  Will try to work on that.

I’ve done the same thing myself.

Maybe.  But a wise man would not be so arrogant as to think they already know the absolute truth. 

Truth is the truth always.  Our understanding and knowledge of the truth can change.  600 years ago everyone KNEW the earth was flat.  Then most of us learned about the truth.

Facts are absolute. Truth is not. Man’s perception of both is deeply flawed. Not one of us has a perfect reproduction of reality in our minds. What we think we “know” is never anything more than a story we tell ourselves based on what we gather through our senses and process in our brains. Each one of us applies a different set of filters and assumptions to come up with what we think of as reality.

We may come to agreement about an objective fact. But “truth” takes into consideration our broader feelings and beliefs. These are subjective, vary from person to person and even in the same person at different times.

"You need to take your enemy’s side if you’re going to see things the way they do, and you need to see things the way they do if you’re going to anticipate their actions, respond effectively, and beat them."

No, that isn't how their culture works.  If a man stands up to them and is strong, then they are to be respected.

You know that the Barbary Wars consisted of like 3 battles, right?  1) they captured an old American warship, the Philadelphia 2) we snuck into their harbor at night and burned the ship, plus blew a bunch of stuff up, 3) A large force of Marines and Arabs marched to the shores of Tripoli, kicked the butts of the local warlord's men, after which he surrendered and promised not to attack American shipping again.

This is how you deal with them because this is what their culture teaches.  Everyone else in the world is inferior to them and must be subjugated (to the way of Islam).  Those who do not are to be killed.  Except, if you're stronger, they can't do anything.  Peace through superior firepower, aka Shock and Awe.

That demonstration of firepower was withheld.

...for the moment. The fat lady hasn’t sung yet.

What you are describing isn’t liberalism anymore. The extreme left are thugs and tyrant wannabes who have appropriated the term falsely. A liberal was once one who was for the workers as opposed to those in the corridors of power. Those you mention are the corrupt power mongers now and they call us workers “deplorable”. In 2016 who was for the workers? Who brought back jobs for us? Not those who now call themselves “liberal”. They cloak themselves in smug self-righteousness rectitude when what they are really doing is undermining everything that made this country the greatest nation in history, that brought the liberal values of freedom and wealth to the average worker beyond our wildest dreams.

These evil destructive leftists don’t deserve the name “liberal”. They are traitors to everything it stood for.
