Here's an example of the common libertarian mistake of thinking that local government is better and less oppressive/corrupt than centralized government. The caller fundamentally misunderstands issues of scale and the fact that local gov is MORE corrupt due to its self-biased nature.

Thou doth protest too much.

@Tetcher LOL

Yeah, well... I'm not about to support people who support Trump. Of course on my own. I would deliberately listen to right-wing media when I was a teen (even though I was liberal) in order to understand their perspective. I studied them like apes flinging shit at the zoo.

Yes, such folks are ethnocentric and nationalist. FoxNews is that entire worldview on display 24/7/365. I've spent 100s of hours listening to right wing talk radio with an open mind. Conclusion: it's pure trash.

Trump gives comfort to fascists. Bernie does not.

This videos nicely shows the crude attempts some of the best scientists are making at understanding consciousness: It's like watching a retarded child trying to solve a Rubik's Cube. I found it entertaining and sad at the same time.

You might as well buy a book about unicorns Death is a lie.

No

@Extreme Z7 Easy. Let's not start questioning the intelligence of members here.

Lol Have you even seen Brietbart's comment section? https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/07/10/exclusive-pence-only-thing-standing-between-america-and-agenda-of-far-left-is-4-more-years-of-president-donald-trump/

@Zak I'll add a featured tag to it if it actually becomes good.

I rarely have time for that. Handwashing is junk. I'm talking about scrubbing with soap.

Microdosing LSD or mushrooms or modafinil is certainly far superior to drinking alcohol.

A newborn is so selfish it doesn't even have a concept of selfishness yet. The most selfish people are the ones who don't even know that selfishness is a thing.

Good. A cult mega-thread is a great idea.

Yes. On your deathbed all your sins will be redeemed.

Worker co-ops are basically the definition of socialism.

You don't know that. There are cases where they do work. To reject worker co-ops on theoretical grounds is foolish.

Take it easy. Hating people who hate people is just more of the same. And his physical appearance is irrelevant.

Fascists be fascisting behind the scenes: This is who works at FoxNews. https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/10/media/tucker-carlson-writer-blake-neff/index.html It's like lifting up a rotten log and seeing the cockroaches scurry away.

Buy organic and scrub it well with soap and brush/sponge. Not much else you can do. You can also do annual detox protocols to remove any accumulated junk in your system.

I think the most you'd stand to lose is your share of future profits and your job. The low level employees would not invest their own money. They would be given the share of ex-employees who left the company. Basically the company would constantly be reallocating shares based on who's working, how much work they do, and how valuable their work is. If you leave the company, you lose all your shares. If the company makes no profit, you gain no bonus, but you still get a base salary. If the company goes bankrupt you lose your job and your shares. Basically the point is to make sure that no one who isn't working in the company can buy shares. Only workers should be allowed to have a share of the profits, not outside speculators or Wall Street wolves. The billion dollar question I have is this: is it possible to entirely abolish Wall Street? Or does Wall Street actually serve a necessary role? Could we construct a society and economy in which Wall Street's role would be made completely obsolete? I'm not sure, but it's a question worth seriously exploring. Of course it should be obvious now why the people in power absolutely HATE this idea and will do everything in their power not to even consider it as a possibility. Those in power primarily thrive off the labor of others, yet they MUST deny this in their own minds.
