That would be a discussion that could carry on for a long time but the gist of it is capitalism is a system with no moral or ethical boundaries where the acquisition of capital is concerned. The government is the common population's only defense against a system that left unchecked would eventually consume everyone and everything for the benefit of the very few.

I was born here, asshole. This is my home, I love it for the most part, and last I checked it was a democracy so I also have the right to vote and have a say in how this country is governed.

The old whataboutism. You are nothing more than a meme regurgitation machine. Ask an Alaskan if they like their state oil revenue checks and get back to me.

Wrong. And you're stupid.

Sounds like socialism. Strange. Also, there are tons of private individuals here who are rich and successful that came up from nothing, and everyone here has the opportunity to do the same. It's not the successful people's fault that it usually requires brains, motivation, and some risk and that most people are too stupid and/or lazy and/or just had shitty ideas that didn't work out. Weird.

How is it whataboutism when you're one of those retards who thinks socialism is what the US needs and the effects of it are happening in Venezuela right in front of your face?

Should qualify... it's either this thread or another that he's doing that. Either way... he's quoting Ayn Rand...

Lots of good points to discuss here. Thats why I said it would take a long discussion to hash it all out.

Are people really stupid and lazy if they aren't millionaires? Of course not. But the meritocratic aspect of capitalism tells us that only those with the most are "good" ones and everyone else is a loser.

We're conditioned or indoctrinated into this life by the people who were indoctrinated into it before us. The mega rich ensure their dominance by playing with our self-images while feeding us rhetoric designed to demoralize those who aren't lucky enough to strike it rich or be born into established wealth strongholds.

Those in power are pitting us against each other as a distraction while they sit on thrones built from our blood, sweat, and tears. Any discourse against the system gets shut down by the powerful and those who buy into their propaganda. Take for example the oil companies who back in the 50s knew the shit they sold polluted the air but carried on making profits while successfully waging a disinformation campaign to obfuscate the issue to keep collecting revenues regardless of the harm it caused to the Earth and the population.

We can go on and on.

The US already has many socialist elements you enjoy on a daily basis. There are many examples all over the place but one in particular that most people don't realize is that residents of Alaska all receive state oil revenue checks.

That would require a small amount of intelligence in him.. and after 14 years, I have yet to see ANY evidence of such a "skill".

Who made that comment? Strawman much?

You being a poor schlub isn't what makes you a loser. It's everything about you.

Hopefully, you do go on and on. I'm off tomorrow and it's Drunk Tuesday.

I even made your very own thread where you can discuss the intricacies of economics and how you believe capitalism is so evil. Please, don't let us down.

I'd inform you that he can never be President.. but when would facts stand in your way...

Why haven't you moved to Alaska yet then? Sounds perfect for you!

I'm 100K shy of being a millionaire and I'm lazy and stupid, proving nothing.

You are part of the problem. See, you took Backlash's "fair" share.

It was impossible for him to be successful and normal.

Thanks a lot.

Hm, no. Never read any of her books actually. Maybe I should.
