Biden’s administration was ready to put people out of work if they didn’t get the shots. Red team vs blue team rhetoric is nauseating.

A war was fought because one country didn't want part of itself to become another country.

If the medium was created to avoid specific risks that are introduced by "proper authorities" for the depraved benefit those authorities, then asking for the proper authorities to cripple that medium invites further depravity from

Yep. The answer under democracy is either to "vote harder" or to try to persuade government agents to wield the coercive powers that they have granted to themselves to your advantage.

You missed the part where I pointed out that the US government outsourced the administration of its currency to a private banking cartel and some people just think it's normal.

He certainly set a high bar for the blackest of reactions to things.

It's a fascist country with a managed economy.

Taking it at face value, my favorite part of the story is that there are cops who are willing to arrest old ladies for trying to solve a problem in their neighborhood and not actually hurting anybody. The mayor is powerless without his mini

"Regular world of money" is bizarre phrase. I'm assuming you mean the government monopoly on currency, but the idea that a country outsourcing its currency management to a central banking cartel is "regular" is luna

Arrest people for fraud and theft, then. The medium through which their transactions flow isn't the problem.

There's no such thing as a social contract, such an idea is preposterous, and to advocate for it is creepy.

I accept your terms.

The availability of jobs should be a symptom of good business, not an end goal that justifies the ongoing depravity of a business.

I did a thought experiment. If FDIC and NCUA deposit insurance didn't exist, would I trust a bank of a credit union more with my deposits? I landed with credit unions due to the overt malfeasance of banks. The FDIC exists to keep banks

Customers freaking out and leaving would be awesome.

There is nothing forcing anybody to bank with Wells Fargo. Their customers are clearly content, because they're still Wells Fargo customers. Edit: shit, someone else pointed out that they buy mortgages. Nevermind.

Banks would rightly collapse if people took their business to credit unions. No random violence required.

Yep. That's the current narrative. Well done. Jim Crow laws were passed and enforced by the government. There are countless examples of businesses having no choice but to discriminate because government told them to. The government its

Amen. Parallel industries will spring up to serve those disenfranchised from establishment dystopian nonsense, and the ongoing ideological self-segregation will accelerate. Best of all possible outcomes.

You can have corruption and cronyism under any economic system. I'd rather have our shitshow than China's.

She said to look for the best source material, regardless of the author's immutable characteristics. Isn't that what you expect from scientists?

Somebody wasn't minding the door and post-modern Marxists snuck in. Now they've Theorized your science and they get to define what the proper way of knowing is, and what it means to be an expert. Don't argue, or you're r

There's a loud minority who think we can maintain our standard of living with windmills.

The Communist Manifesto has led to multiple mass killings, too. What should we do?

Not your role to tell other people what they should read.

Are you talking about the New York Times or 4chan?

by kodyo 4y ago
Yes, but the corporate media accusing somebody else of inciting violence is super comical.

You are in no position to tell another person what they should be spending their time on.
