on SA and reddit you can't like something someone does if you don't 100% share their every opinion

Louis CK? Yes he is a self-loathing white who used to say "fag" but has since gone back and realized the error of his ways and now makes shows about how fat chicks are humans too so he's ok
Tom Cruise? ABSOLUTELY NOT HE IS A DIFFERENT RELIGION THAN I AM I CANNOT SUPPORT THIS MAN
Penn & Teller ? UGH SOME OF THEIR STUFF WAS OK BUT HE's A LIBERTARIAN AND I DON'T AGREE WITH THE FACT THAT HE LIKES DUMB COLORS FOR HIS HOUSE

really seeing a lot of parallels between goons and middle-aged women here except middle-aged women have like kids and accomplishments to balance out their dumb opinions

penn is playing a tune on a banjo. he pauses, lifts it to his mouth, snatches it with moist red lips that contort and grip like the tentacles of an octopus, and swallows it whole. we can see his throat distort as he flexes his neck muscles to push the musical instrument down into the dark reaches of his gullet. teller rushes toward him, microphone in hand, and places it against penn's ample gut. suddenly, over the pa, a rendition of dueling banjos, made entirely with digestion noises, can be heard. welcome to the world... of magic.

someone in the gbs IRC told me that he used to hang out with penn in a BDSM club. something penn likes to do is take mice and freeze them and stick them in his anus. Then, as the mice dethaw and claw their way out, it gives him great sexual pleasure.

Every* country in the world practices socialism to some degree duder, you're thinking of communism.

Here's a helpful thing:

Communism (total govt control of markets) <-------Socialism (some govt control of markets)--------> Laissez Faire (no govt control whatsoever)

*except for failed states i guess

Socialism: democratic control of the means of production, eg. state/municipal/worker ownership of large industry, mining, large-scale farming, banking etc.; the most radical idiots may include all enterprise including barbershops (communism is the classless utopia that will come after years of socialism)

Not socialism: public health care/insurance, public pensions, public schools, poverty relief / safety nets, fire and police departments, EMT units, national service, the post office, state-managed infrastructure, large-scale public transit (eg. long distance trains), co-operatives, nonprofits and credit unions, state control of markets (cf. mercantilism, protectionism) etc.

All of those have either existed before socialism became a "thing" or have been historically promoted by non-socialist governments. For example, old-timey Christian conservatives supported public health care for the well-being of the national spirit; public schools were supported by Hegelian conservatives and liberals because of the enlightenment of the masses (and to get skilled, obedient workers for the factories). In our country, the Public Health Insurance Bill was passed by a centre-right government (a coalition of agrarians, "folk liberals" and big business conservatives).

When you mix some state ownership / nationalization of industry with a market economy you get social democracy (the Nordic countries pre-90s)

When you leave out state ownership you get various kinds of decidedly non-socialist ideologies that differ in terms of market intervention, land ownership, collective bargaining / labor rights, public services, civic society, civil rights and social cohesion like Social Liberalism (where municipal services don't have to be produced by the municipality itself but can be outsourced to private companies or NGOs; also support for local co-ops, small businesses and family farms), modern American liberalism, populism, fascism/nazism, Christian democracy / One Nation Conservatism / Social marketplace (class harmony and huge boner for national institutions), Liberal conservatism/conservative liberalism (what modern conservative parties adhere to after the aristocracy was replaced by business interests) and Classical Liberalism (aka laissez-faire, even though few liberal thinkers actually promoted unfettered free markets)

The sort of "left is all public and right is all private" doesn't reflect actual ideological history and nuance and is a libertarian invention, hth. The reason why fascists and nazis are considered far-right even though they support somewhat centrist/populist economic policies is because they are more about ultranationalism, militarism, traditionalism, social cohesion and "natural hierarchies" rather than corporatist economics mixed with welfare policies (for the right kind of people only, though); just like the classical rightist monarchists in the late 18th/early 19th century were against capitalism and free trade.

So left/socialist is more like "good of the working class", centrist is "good of the small community" or "good of the individual", and rightist is "good of the nation" or "good of the 'natural born' rulers / aristocracy"
