  1. Ban mail in voting but make a federal holiday around voting.

  2. Yes. Never forget why the far right became so attractive in Weimar.

  3. How not to save Haiti? Don't bother saving it. It's not capable of being saved and it's not our responsibility.

  4. Could. But should not.

  5. @jaemyncole6257  yes. Everyone engages in social labor for the purpose of working is to benefit the society you are a member of. If we didn't do that, we would have no society, we would have no innovation, we would have no "rights". Its the action of collective effort that permits us to have anything. Therefore we depend on one another and their labor for everything.

  6. @jaemyncole6257  i am entitled to healthcare, housing and a job. Every American is. It's a necessary service someone has a duty, an obligation, a responsibility to provide.

  7. @jaemyncole6257  society is literally built on members of a community sharing... And I do genuinely believe that we are entitled to others ppls labor. Just like a parent who doesn't take care of their child is arrested for neglect. We refuse to contribute? We refuse to give back to the society that allows us to exist and to trade and that raised us? That's entitlement right there. Who is going to protect your precious property rights and enforce them if not a government that requires funding, aka it demands you pay taxes for it to enforce your rights. Part of growing up is learning you can't always do what you want but living up to the obligations placed upon you and everyone else so society can function. You don't think it's your duty to provide healthcare for your fellow Americans? Don't become a doctor.

  8.  @jaemyncole6257  we are entitled to whatever we as a collective say we are. Majority rules. Might equals right. If you don't want to benefit from the collective bargaining agreement then don't pay your dues. But for everyone else who is a member and does have a say over what benefits they receive; they'll get it if they choose to and can enforce it.

  9. @jaemyncole6257  I never said trade wasn't or isn't an integral part of society...

  10.  @jaemyncole6257  trade is integral between societies. Sharing is integral within a society amongst its members. Interrelations vs intrarelations are required when understanding and discussing sociological phenomena.

  11.  @jaemyncole6257  you're not very good at listening are you? Nor do you have an in-depth understanding of history and human sociology. Solutions to problems get solved through deliberation, need and collaboration. That's not up for debate. You can peddle your individualistic, surface level philosophy all you want but it won't work with me..

  12. @jaemyncole6257  my examples? You mean beyond existing? In your family household, you do not trade with your family members, you collaborate. You distribute according to ability and need. You trade with neighbors and other non family members. The same is true in the macro, you trade moreso with ppl outside the group and collaborate moreso within. Unions are a perfect example of collaboration within the union, but trading with those outside of it. Expand further to the nation state which trades with other nations but collaborates between states/regions/localities etc. sports teams are another where you trade players with other teams but everyone on the same team collaborates rather than trades. These are self evident that you don't recognize them consciously. Humans are a social species with in group preferences which entails cooperation and collaboration within the group while trade and commerce exists mostly between groups. Obviously there are exceptions but we're talking about general rules here.

  13. @jaemyncole6257  wow. You really don't understand how or what trade even is. The caveman produced what he could and gave what he could to another caveman for the sake and the good of the tribe. That's objectively not what trade is. Unless you consider every member of the tribe having a responsibility, task and duty to perform a function aka being entitled to anothers labor, as trade. Which it objectively is not.

  14. Literally everything you said is blatantly the opposite of truth. And correct, I don't support private property rights. But Thom does I believe.

  24. Depends on what you mean by right wing. If you mean neoliberal free market types then likely those are declining. But conservatives are growing on nativist issues, gender ideology and things like that. If you support mass immigration you aren't pro worker. Europe brought in millions of immigrants and look what happened, it destroyed their countries.

  25. There is no such thing as "unbiased information". Libertarian philosophy is just as biased as his but his is in opposition to yours so therefore it's bad...

  26. Property is theft.
    1
  27.  @jaemyncole6257  and if some ppl own a bunch of property that means others don't. Which is tantamount to theft.

  28. @jaemyncole6257  1. No, obviously if some guy says the world is mine and he can realistically achieve this through ownership, it will not be ignored. According to you he has a right to that wealth and property. 2. Of course property "constitutes as wealth" that's precisely why it should not be held in the hands of a few who own tons of property that others have to pay to use. That's not free trade, let alone freedom of any kind as it's effective serfdom. 3. Valuing commodities as proof that society/the average persons life is improving is the definition of decadence. Without widespread property ownership aka just about every family having their own plot of land, any improvement in commodity production leads to a stagnant, easily controlled populace dedicated to hedonistic consumerism over family values, self sufficiency and community identity. Give them bread and circuses and they will be satiated. They will not actually be living functioning stable lives of purpose and meaning. 4. Believe it or not despite my previous argument in favor of freedom, I do not inherently value freedom or even equality as a concept. But most do, so I utilize it within my arguments. I value material conditions, what is most functional and what provides purpose.

  29.  @jaemyncole6257  you literally can't trade with someone who owns everything because that means you have nothing to trade with.. it's a monopoly, you are given the ultimatum to work and produce for that sole owner or you have nothing... Human rights do not exist and any belief that they do comes directly from the human condition to cooperate and collaborate socially.
    1
  30.  @jaemyncole6257  you cannot engage in trade with somebody who owns essentially everything. You will have nothing to trade or offer. As for rules, such as human rights, they exist because we socially enforce them due to our human condition that prioritizes cooperation and collaboration. They aren't inherent, we must enforce them.

  31. By letting in the third world and bending to its people's desires rather than whites, we allowed the West to become the third world.

  35. Conservatism and socialism should not be enemies. They fit well together as they both recognize the individual is not the root of society and they both value workers having control of their labor.

  45. Will public schools turn our kids into religious extremists? Probably not considering religious conservatives dont support public schools. And public schools already indoctrinate our kids to be a bunch of weak, gender confused cogs in a machine. Id rather have "religious extremism". Those kids tend to be raised better.
