You know I picked the strawman out while I was skim reading this bullshit. Just wanted you to know whatever you typed was a huge waste of time. Because of the straw man in the last paragraph lol. I did get a lol outta the ethonol rebuttal. 1/10 bait

What’s the purpose of social security? A state run program to redistribute money from the working to the non working? A social safety net to protect vulnerable citizens.

Sure it is. Are you using a different definition of socialism? Who owns the schools?? Who owns the roads?

Why in the world is the coast guard not guarding our coasts lmao

I’d love to see entertainment democratized. That was kind of the promise of Netflix and YouTube that was sold to us 20 years ago. It was supposed to allow room for many artists to bloom and prosper and find audiences. Unfortunately, that was kind of a false promise and now we still have superstars who suck up the world’s entertainment resources. I want to watch more local bands. I want to watch more independent movies. Taylor swift is just an advertising agency at this point. She’s just a marketing agency with one client.

Maybe just maybe we should not reward people who bought fake internet money to speculate with. Or pay entertainers the salary of 1,000 people lol

Hey me too! And I remember caring deeply about Palestine when I was 18! Then I learned more about the conflict and watched for 20 years. Now I have nuance hbu?

All of that is infact socialism. Taxing individuals and creating community services. It’s like the core tenant or our education system which is socialist, even if it failed to teach you that. It’s the core tenant of social security and Medicare. Those third rail policies that everyone loves? It’s socialism.

Hahah socialism. Like subsidies for farmers who grow corn for ethanol? Or like subsidies for Amazon warehouses. Or should we only do socialism and when banks gamble to hard and collapse? Or socialism like getting a government/military jobs to avoid poverty?

Shhhh these kids only heard about Palestine 2 years ago and anything that happened before that is irrelevant! I just came from a post where they were advocating for Palestine to have nukes to deter the USA. Your history has no power here!

I believed the USA was a liberal democracy full of concerned citizens. I also had faith in the financial system at one point!

I still believe the time old tale, no one bothers North Korea because the humanitarian crisis it would cause… they don’t have a scary amount of nukes. Nor do they have the means to deliver them to us.

Lot of people in this sub really don’t understand nuclear doctrine or MAD. They don’t just make enemy’s go away, they just make them point more nukes at you…

Like is Palestine going to nuke us or Israel in your fantasy?

Yes more nukes for all! Let everyone fight over old land disputes too! If we remember the history of Afghanistan, we know that nuclear weapons were crucial in their efforts to topple the USSR and the USA!

The internet is going to be your best resources as most laws are available on their respective websites. From your town/state ordinances to your federal laws. Most will be online.

Thats why I think just doing universal health care, universal internet, universal electricity would be an ideal way to transition imho. Just start by providing the basics. We’ve invested so much in energy in this country in the last 2 centuries and we all get exploited on it. doesn’t have to be a blank check form.

I mean obviously they have been buying up half the internet, and filling the rest with bots, so they don’t have to deal with facts or their feelings.

sunglasses and cigarette clearly is a lifestyle devoted to intense purposes!
