RE: Stop Blaming Capitalism for the Failures of Socialism
Good Points, I tend to possibly temper the bad behavior around me because I can bring forth logical arguments and these tribalists tend to abhor logic
😆 😉
I did meet a real-life "Nazi" once at work, I got stuck with this guy cuz no one else wanted to be around him... Ditto for me, I refused to put up with his BS and asked to be moved. But I did tell him I refused to think his way. Sickening just to listen to this guy. Every imaginable stereotype was FACT to him, and I do not recall if he missed any of the usual groups, Blacks, Jews, Gays, etc. He hated everyone! Everyone else... yuk
I do tend to find the "left" to be far more hypocritical and condescending than the "right". The latter is openly hostile. The former is equally hostile but expects you to believe it's for your own good.
If I was stupid enough to believe we lived in a totalitarian dictatorship (it's a two-party system!), I would have voted for Donald Trump in the last election. Because sure, in terms of policy he's little to no difference from Hillary Clinton. But at least he's honest about being a scumbag. As it was, I campaigned for Gary Johnson but didn't vote in the presidential election.
I mean, that was 1996 ffs. We never learn.
On a compass heading, going the direction of Killary would have us in a totally different time zone than Trump. Going to ANCAP would have us in a totally different universe ;) Catch my drift?
Ya, well if I ruled the world my first and only official act would be to eliminate my position.
I said two things the day Trump got the Republican nomination: 1) Bernie Sanders was the only Democrat who could have beaten him in a general election (and that Bernie Sanders v. Ron Paul was the actual debate that we should be having), and 2) I would rather Trump than Clinton, because most Washington insiders hate his guts (for not being in their little club) and the federal government getting nothing done for at least four years was vastly preferable to the alternative.
They're not going to allow free markets by choice. They would all have to get real jobs.
