Common sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom. Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Extremism is when you want to help the poors, don’t you get it??!!!

Btw love how no one responded to your comment, not even with the usual right-wing nonsense. It’s abundantly clear that you’re in the right, so they can’t do anything but cower behind their anonymity and downvote you.

In other words let big gubmint be yo daddy.

This post will disappear with your low rated one.

I have no certainty what you were talking about with the last one there, but I assume this is what you’re talking about: 6s7bis.jpg (click to show)

I love how your method of approaching new ideas is to not read anything you interpret as standing even mildly in opposition to your ideology before repeating the same 5 tired arguments that’s something along the lines of “big gubment bad except when protecting private property rights of the wealthy” to epikly own the hordes of Marxist-Leninist-Hitlerists that are planning on ruining America by advocating for providing everyone with a decent quality of life. I’m not even surprised, though, because I expected to get replied by stuff like this. You made it abundantly clear that you’re going to spew your right-wing beliefs without even listening to what the other side has to say, before making a big fuss about how it’s acktually the leftists that ignore what the opposing side has to say.

The reason I’m writing this is because I have a smidgen of hope that you will improve yourself as a person, since spending years of your life on the internet in your own private echo chamber isn’t the best way to go about life. It’s clear as day not doing anything productive for both yourself and the world by doing this, since you’ve contributed no nuance to overall online discussion, and only served to further perpetuate the right-wing online echo chamber you’ve locked yourself in. You’ve literally admitted it too. And so, I’m no longer talking to you as a political rival, but as someone who’s genuinely concerned.

Please. Realize there’s more to life than this.

Let me keep the surplus value of me time and effort?

That's borderline communist talk

Enact anti war measures, but not when it comes to Ukraine?

Keep funding that national suicide.

Free or stupidly cheap housing?

As long as it neets your quality standards.

GIVE you the means to frolic through life acting on your whims...as king as it doesn't oppress others?

As if taking the money I received in exchange for my time, knowledge, and effort to subsidize lazy people so they can live out their fantasies of becoming the greatest social media influencer.

How about I waste my money instead of you wasting my money?

😄💰 Mine! All mine!

Dang, lotsa typos in my comment.

This keyboard is not my friend today.

It's ok if you make a few typos, your brain cells are perfectly aligned so that is what counts, feller. You are hereby forgiven for ALL typos now and in the future...

I love how there are living and breathing people out there who think invoking the tired “that’s commie talk” thing automatically disproves the other side’s argument.

Y’know what, I should do the same. Everything in this comment is Commie Marx nonsense.

Oh, come now.

I stated more than that in response to your argument to provide counter argument, and to make allusion to the duplicity in your arguments, not to disprove your arguments.

How could one disprove another's thinking?

All I can do is provoke thought, or in most cases when politics collide, provoke anger.

I notice you posted no counter argument, opting instead to post a discursive reply.

Ok, ok, fine. I’ll provide the actual counterarguments.

If you speak to any actual leftist (not the “leftists” as in Democrats), then you’ll find that they actually don’t support perpetuating the war in Ukraine (check out this video for more info: https://youtu.be/LL4eNy4FCs8). In fact, it’s actually your side that does that but with advocating for funding “Israel”, which is also something that the Democratic Party does.

Also since when did private companies give a shit about quality of housing? There are literally some houses in the U.S. where you could punch a wall with the wall being broken before you hurt your hand. Actually putting decent investment into it has been shown to alleviate this problem. Hell, even Tucker Carlson, the guy you all love so much for some reason, had praised Russia’s infrastructure even 30 years after it was constructed in the post-Soviet era (now just imagine if it was still properly maintained to this day with the USSR still being around).

There’s also the fact that Lenin literally said that “He who does not work, neither shall he eat”, which he deems as a necessary principle of socialism. In fact, it’s literally capitalism that made useless social media influencers become multimillionaires (don’t believe me? Where were the majority of them born? Definitely not Cuba I can tell you that much.)

Since you hate taxes so much, why not also move to the DPRK? It’s a socialist state that has successfully abolished taxation (if you want an actually nuanced source on it btw here’s another good video: https://youtu.be/7x5dH49s30o). Not only that, it did so 50 whole years ago whilst libertardians are still making empty promises to do so (I say they’re empty promises given your friend in Argentina is actually raising income taxes because he collapsed the economy. I don’t see you talking about him as much anymore, now do I?)

So many words, so many assumptions and angry finger pointing.

Stop stereotyping.

I have long said no money for foreign nations to fight their wars. Even specified Israel.

Same for the Roman roads. Labor cost nothing but survival rations. Slaves do excellent work. That is the reason pre civil war forts are still standing in America.

Why should anyone give you a free home built to suit you?

No business will invest without receiving a return on their money, meaning a healthy profit.

If you got slumlord rent you get slumlord housing.

Lenin agreeing that one that does not work does not eat links to social media influencers (all of which I loathe) how?

Why would I want to move to North Korea?

I know nothing about Argentina nor do I have friend there.

You are making absurd statements that do not reflect my reply to your comment. ​

I wasn't responding to a hatred of taxes.

I was responding to your idea that people should be given the means to to accomplish whatever they desire in life so long as it doesn't oppress others.

I would find it oppressive to be forced to give someone a handout to waste on their desires instead of being able to keep my money to waste on my own.

We have equal opportunity.

The rest is up to the individual.

You seem to resent the wealthy while also wishing to be their financial equal...just without the effort.

Leftist, communist, socialist, Leninists, Marxist, democrat...whatever name you wish to give it, I do not wish to participate

Man, literally got mad that I didn’t make counterpoints then got mad that I did. Not to mention you literally used the same debate tactics when assuming that I supported funding Ukraine or want to fund social media influencers or whatever. I’m also not sure what you’re even talking about now due to your lack of coherence in your comment, but I’m gonna assume it’s another anti-communist rant instead of an actual counter argument.

Huh?
