The fact that the current President of the United States and head of the party which nominally stands against sexual violence has raped a woman and won't admit it is not a current event. Do not ever bring it up in this thread under any circumstance.

However, we understand that some of you may want to discuss it for whatever reason, so we have prepared a thread for this topic. It can be found on the 4th page of the Coupons & Deals forum.

WTF?
It is a melancholy object to those, who walk through this great town, or travel in the country, when they see the streets, the roads, and cabbin-doors crowded with beggars of the female sex, followed by three, four, or six children, all in rags, and importuning every passenger for an alms. These mothers, instead of being able to work for their honest livelihood, are forced to employ all their time in stroling to beg sustenance for their helpless infants who, as they grow up, either turn thieves for want of work, or leave their dear native country, to fight for the Pretender in Spain, or sell themselves to the Barbadoes.

I think it is agreed by all parties, that this prodigious number of children in the arms, or on the backs, or at the heels of their mothers, and frequently of their fathers, is in the present deplorable state of the kingdom, a very great additional grievance; and therefore whoever could find out a fair, cheap and easy method of making these children sound and useful members of the commonwealth, would deserve so well of the publick, as to have his statue set up for a preserver of the nation.

But my intention is very far from being confined to provide only for the children of professed beggars: it is of a much greater extent, and shall take in the whole number of infants at a certain age, who are born of parents in effect as little able to support them, as those who demand our charity in the streets.

As to my own part, having turned my thoughts for many years upon this important subject, and maturely weighed the several schemes of our projectors, I have always found them grossly mistaken in their computation. It is true, a child just dropt from its dam, may be supported by her milk, for a solar year, with little other nourishment: at most not above the value of two shillings, which the mother may certainly get, or the value in scraps, by her lawful occupation of begging; and it is exactly at one year old that I propose to provide for them in such a manner, as, instead of being a charge upon their parents, or the parish, or wanting food and raiment for the rest of their lives, they shall, on the contrary, contribute to the feeding, and partly to the clothing of many thousands.

There is likewise another great advantage in my scheme, that it will prevent those voluntary abortions, and that horrid practice of women murdering their bastard children, alas! too frequent among us, sacrificing the poor innocent babes, I doubt, more to avoid the expence than the shame, which would move tears and pity in the most savage and inhuman breast.

The number of souls in this kingdom being usually reckoned one million and a half, of these I calculate there may be about two hundred thousand couple, whose wives are breeders; from which number I subtract thirty thousand couple, who are able to maintain their own children, (although I apprehend there cannot be so many under the present distresses of the kingdom) but this being granted, there will remain a hundred and seventy thousand breeders. I again subtract fifty thousand, for those women who miscarry, or whose children die by accident or disease within the year. There only remain a hundred and twenty thousand children of poor parents annually born. The question therefore is, How this number shall be reared and provided for? which, as I have already said, under the present situation of affairs, is utterly impossible by all the methods hitherto proposed. For we can neither employ them in handicraft or agriculture; they neither build houses, (I mean in the country) nor cultivate land: they can very seldom pick up a livelihood by stealing till they arrive at six years old; except where they are of towardly parts, although I confess they learn the rudiments much earlier; during which time they can however be properly looked upon only as probationers; as I have been informed by a principal gentleman in the county of Cavan, who protested to me, that he never knew above one or two instances under the age of six, even in a part of the kingdom so renowned for the quickest proficiency in that art.

I am assured by our merchants, that a boy or a girl, before twelve years old, is no saleable commodity, and even when they come to this age, they will not yield above three pounds, or three pounds and half a crown at most, on the exchange; which cannot turn to account either to the parents or kingdom, the charge of nutriments and rags having been at least four times that value.

I shall now therefore humbly propose my own thoughts, which I hope will not be liable to the least objection.

I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed, is, at a year old, a most delicious nourishing and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricasee, or a ragoust.

Listen, I'm an old school Leftist from way back I want what Marx wants—in principle but you are not going to get there by going outside the Democratic party. You're throwing away your vote and helping the Republicans. Even Lenin voted for the Social Democrats and if he was alive today he would tell these losers to go out there and vote!

This is actually false. If you look into voting history of the united states and europe dating to the 1800s it is a verifiable fact that helping the republican party is actually what Karl Marx wanted and is IN FACT communist theory. But I'm sure they all think you're very cool in C-Spam with your contrarian takes.

quote:

You need to vote in every single election in your area.

This is categorically not true.

quote:

Engagement CAN stop these yahoos, endless handwringing and conversations - not so much. They are winning elections because of this. The best way to stop that? Do your duty and vote. Get engaged.
Actually do the thing most of us don’t do - turnout is dismal in local elections, and the right counts on that. Make them wrong!

This really smacks of Holier Than Thou dianetics and honestly I thought you were a more reasoned individual such as this. QED if you need to extoll the virtues of voting to a populace then it is clear that your inability to govern in an efficient manner proves, beyond a doubt, that you lack the abilities to govern correctly and are therefore not worth voting for. In the landmark academic work "The End of Voting: A Liberal Viewpoint on Democracy In Modern Wallachia" John H Petersen proposed that in fact if you cannot prove that voting increases the ability of capital to better capitulate its needs than the increasing regression in the economic society of your populace is exponential (hilbert inclusive). Of course I would expect a rural such as yourself to not have read such a work. By all means continue to ride your tractor to the wal mart while reading Hegel, since that seems to be your speed intellectually.

quote:

As a Marxist I can say that Biden is making good progress.

While I agree with you on this point I disagree with your methodology. I think if you were to check the 10 year savings bond delta mesh against the S&P it's actually proof positive that the current Administration is at the very least Hoxhaist if not even Titoist but I can see your point.

quote:

Biden has been given a lot to deal with, and he's done a fine job of things. The Democrats can win the mid-terms and 2024 and are winning right now but the revanchist contrarian jokerfied black-pilled doom scrolling former Bernie Bros in places like Z-SPAM are sapping the morale of Democratic voters by spreading Republican and Russian disinformation online to "own the libs" and get revenge for their failed 2016 and 2020 campaigns where they expected to be served the presidency on a platter without putting in any work. For all intents and purposes they might as well be working for the Republicans right now and I'm surprised why Jefferey haven't excised that cancer from these forums.
