Paradoxish posted:I never really did the libertarian thing, but I was a pretty milquetoast center-leftish Democrat for most of my 20s. I've shifted pretty loving hard to the left over the last four or five years, though. I honestly can't imagine the kind of cognitive dissonance that must be required to live in the US and still hold onto conservative beliefs. someone linked one of our vps a snopes link about some idiot claim he made about michelle obama's mom and his response was "snopes is run by two liberals in california" and responded with a youtube video about his original claims. dude is in his 50s. how do you not grow out of being a moron.

We start very careful: well, you see, we're from Europe, ... No sign of understanding. Taxes are killing him much to high blah blah. Well, in Europe, we all sell like twice the taxes you guys do ... He just straight out ignored us. Just kept on talking happily. the problem in america is our taxes don't seemingly go anywhere to us in our day to day. if we had free college and healthcare i think people's tiny brains would make the connection.

freebooter posted:Like, similarly, I've always assumed I enjoy a high standard of living because my TV and my t-shirts and my car and literally everything else is manufactured in China/India/Bangladesh by workers earning $1 a day or whatever. Which makes me uncomfortable, but if you asked me if I could wave a wand and pay much much more money for domestically manufactured goods, I would stare at my feet and mutter "no." you ever notice the price of cars didn't drop to 1/10 their price when union workers were making them when they exported their labor to places where they paid poo poo wages and no bennies? apple could manufacture the iphone in the united states paying people a living wage and still make a profit on each one (or pay those people those people like kings over there). it just wouldn't be 500-600 on each one.

My Linux Rig posted:If it was a steady pattern of posts that did that, then yeah that's hosed up, but I don't think two posts constitutes a pattern trump tweeted a phony graphic about how most whites are murdered by blacks (the vast majority of whites are killed by other whites).

Crabtree posted:Also "OH NO, PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW HOW ECONOMICS WORK ONLY WANT TO HELP EVERYONE OUT? WHAT A CALAMITY!" Man, it would just be awful if the democrats stone walled everything from the Patriot Act to maybe the entire invasion of Afghanistan and Irac instead of just blindly following the march of war. afghanistan was a just war we just hosed it up royally (in huge part due to iraq).

trump isn't funny or entertaining. it's migraine inducing watching him speak or listening to him or reading quotes. he has the mental capacity of a toddler and the inability to string coherent thoughts together. he lies more often than he breathes. i could barely make it through the debates.
