  159. Where is Luke Skywalker when you need him? "It's amazing, everything you just said was wrong" Charlie. He spoke constantly listening to himself have a debate with himself to the audience instead of Kyle who barely got a word in and had to go through this bullshit utopian libertarian dream. I used to be a free market libertarian, I know all of these arguments. I used to use them. They are ideological which is what socialists are criticized for instead of being pragmatic. In reality, deregulation has always led to inflation, to higher inequality, to abuse of nature resources, to the increase in labor exploitation (more so than already) and corruption. The more deregulation the worse it gets. Especially for large companies. I don't want millions to work foe corporations. I want us to work for ourselves and with each other. By definition, a capitalist is gaining capital at the expense of anotherss labor who is given a tiny fraction of his production contribution based on what the capitalist chooses to pay him or her. These people are not voluntarily working for Amazon or Walmart. We work for food and housing or we die that coercion. We are forced to work for these massive corporations that use poverty as leverage and then keep is in poverty but high enough above water to catch a breath but not to swim. Last time I checked making even 15 an hour is not rhe appropriate compensation for someone making billions off the backs of these workers.are you honestly saying that ideas alone that Jeff Bezos has is enough to warrant him billions of dollars? Without the workers he wouldn't have anything. And then they just cut the economic portion and go to culture. Newsflash, our economic condition and system greatly contribute and impact our culture.

  186. 1: I was homeless for 4.5 years. So I know a thing or two about what it's like. 2: Shelters are the single worst place to go. It's why people don't wanna stay there. They control when you sleep, where you sleep and for how long. It impacts the ability to get a job. It's first come first serve as well. The shelters breed disease snd criminals often reside there. So that's why the majority of chronic sufferers of homelessness (more than a year) don't stay there. It's not a solution. 3: The overwhelming majority of homeless people do not become homeless due to drug addition. In fact, those who can afford to do drugs consistently are often well off and far from needing housing assistance. Wealthy people do more and sell more drugs than any low income person. The homeless people who do become addicted did so 84% of the time according to a 2014 study by Common Dreams and Housing First NY only after becoming homeless and losing everything and being in that environment. 4: Housing First initiates have been implemented around the world, Singapore, Norway, Finland, Austria etc and it has depleted their homeless rate. 5: Decouple housing from the real estate market. Imagine if we treated bread or meat the way we treat housing. It's literally designed to increase the price so individuals can passively profit off the sale of it at a later date. It's the only market where we want things to increase. 6: Community land trusts are the future. Full stop. As are co-housing communities and tenant owned complexes. 7: eliminate the property tax on homes and institute a land value tax. This keeps land free and low cost while making sure spaces are used productively. It benefits the environment, the local economy and poverty. Henry George is a great thinker on this issue.

  289. Socialism and communism will never have anything to do with state or national control over the economy. The whole point is to limit classes and central power, instead giving more of that power to the individuals and the people. Communism doesn't stifle innovation. People have never invented things to make money, they do it to increase standards of living and leisure. Tesla needed money to build and create his inventions , because of the society and the structure that it was built on. But he wanted it to be available to all people, equal access to it's use. Very communist if you ask me. The standard of living has raised but that doesn't mean people are keeping up with those standards. I'm a market socialist, cautiously a democratic socialist although I prefer the over arching left wing market libertarian title. I don't like being strapped down. But my point is, cooperation is key, competition is an excuse to outperform the other an focus on profit rater than productivity. The economy isnt a sport. It shouldn't be treated like one. I'm not technically an anarchist, I believe the government is a necessary evil. And some industries, ones that aren't commodities or consumer goods, should be available to all. The reason taxes exist is to redistribute wealth and provide access to certain services in a capitalist system. Capitalism gets replaced, no taxes are needed. Capitalism has always failed. Socialism failed because the system changed. People began taking power and wanted to maintain it. but some form of socialism has existed since the dawn of man. It is humans natural conclusion. But capitalism has successfully made it so that trying to imagine a world without it wouldn't be a world at all. This is of course false. As a reformist, I propose a social democracy founded on equal access to health, education, a socal dividend/Ubi and protections for the consumers, workers and the environment. This should then over time allow us to transition into a socialist economy.

  319. Plenty of men create their avatars in games as women. That doesn't mean they want to be women or that they are attracted to men. We are in this day and age looking wayyyy into this in such a deconstructive and needless way. Men and women can express themselves in any way they please and can partake in activities that place them in particular roles, roles which evolve over time and vary situation to situation. None of this means anyone is more than man or woman. I can't believe I have to say this and I hate that i have to think saying this is considered wrong or offensive but there are two genders. Gender has become nothing more than out personality. Destroying the idea of gender itself. All of this post modernist crap makes me sick. A person expressing themselves in various touches of femininity and masculinity does not change their gender. And that poses the question, what is or isn't femininely or masculine? Why can't people just be themselves? Is there such as thing as being "yourself"? Can we truly be "ourselves" if our identity is largely influenced by culture? Then are we truly individuals? No. Even if we deconstruct "traditional" forms of gender expression then there will be another normative hegemony that begins to influence and already is influencing people. And of we are this easily influenced then what is the point of trying to be "non binary"? Certain traits exist for a reason. There ks nothing wrong with it. When people become conservative assholes who trash men for not being "man" enough then that's where the problems lie. The problem is not that this individual being bullied is of a different gender because of vague traits and qualities but because the idea of beinh that gender is too rigid. The answer to ending rigidity on self expression is not to create more genders but to expand the idea of what it means to be male or female. You aren't gender non binary because you are ambiguous. Unless the individual is a legit transexual and not transgender then the person has no base to claim they are of a different gender. As I've read more and more about gender theory over the last few years the only thing I come to is that much of it is stupid and the people pushing these deconstructionist likes ate hurting society by complicating things which should a very simple solution. Gender roles and expression are what decide ones gender. Well aren't these roles and expressions individualized in all of us regardless of the culture we grew up in? Yes. So this means we are conflating gender with personality. There are two sexes/genders. Male and female. The way each of those decides or instinctually expresses themselves matters but it does not change what matters more, our biological sex. The thing which is concrete and describes nearly our entire society and history. From evolution to medicine.

  657. This was a very interesting episode. Much more tolerable and reasonable than the Trump one. As an independent Leftist I had some gripes and disagreements but I was happy to see the differences in opinion and the different mindsets of these people. My personal problem for me is that im a socialist but culturally I don't agree or support a lot of progressive or traditionally Left positions. I'm pro choice for instance but no way do I think it's a human right for a woman to have an abortion. It's a privilege to me. If it was a "Right" then a woman could have one at any time any number of times. To me that is just unacceptable and irresponsible. But I definitely do believe it is up to the woman and sometimes the man to choose. Also it's not a bodily autonomy issue for me either. It ceases being a personal autonomy issue when it takes 2 people to have a baby. Another thing that is more conservative that I believe is the issue on crime and drugs. I don't believe in legalizing drugs. Most should remain illegal. Drug addicts, dealers and manufacturers are not victims. They are perpetrators. We need to better address how we respond to homeless people on drugs because they are an exception. But we need to start cracking down on party culture and drug culture. The rich kids especially. The last conservative opinion of mine is one on sex. I don't believe schools should be teaching us about sex. That's not their job in my opinion. They certainly shouldn't be allowed to hand out condoms. Contraceptives, while having their benefits have done a lot of damage to society. We have become reliant on them. They can cause harm to both women and to children after the woman decides to eventually get off of them after years of using them. Smart sexual choices are far superior than "safe" choices. We should not tell kids or even adults that promiscuity is something to champion, tolerate or accept. It is harmful for is all and the evidence is clear as day. Though I do recognize that a small portion of the population does need to fill the role of harlot.

  790. So conservatives complain about false sexual allegations but then do the same thing? Seems like nothing new in the right hemisphere. There are alot of false allegations, but actual rapes are probably much higher and its sad women are afraid to speak up, they shouldn't be. Im still very weary of religious people, Muslims in particular but i also understand that just like followers of other faiths, not all are oppressive bigots. BUT, i still think religion is stupid and religion distracts us from reality and how to better it. Religion needs to die. But not via killing supporters of certain faiths. How can Jews be liberal but not support gay rights according to their own religion? Im assuming its Orthodox Jews who are more conservative. Polygamy is illegal unless its under a religious pretense, definitely a separation of church and state... Polygamy is such a gross bastardization of the social bonds between individuals. 200 kids... that is not functional or healthy. How do they repopulate without eventually breeding with a half sibling? Also, consecration is not like communism... that's authoritarianism and state socialism. Neither can be classified under the definition of communism. I'm not a communist btw. When i first started watching the anti SJW channels i thought Gavin was funny, though he would go a bit too far even for me, i just thought he was trolling. I don't think he is. He does say some truthful things but that doesn't make him a good person or someone to listen to. His Proud Boys are pieces of shit. They talk about how Antifa are libtards and pussy beta soyboys yet they feel so strong when they beat up these beta soyboys. And they beat them up by ganging up on them. I don't think Facebook should ban them though. I don't think that is the answer. The Proud Boy who recorded that video was black btw, and Tiny (their version of Captain America or Ares) is not white. Many members arent. I dont think they are racist, but they definitely have some closed minded views and shame people who are failing because of the rigged system, yet they are doing the same thing but for a different reason. Its dumb. They are sexist though, and they do support an unnatural and dangerous hierarchy in society.

  924. I have spoken to this at length with others online. Im honestly tired of this story. Its not border securities fault. Its her parents fault. There is no getting around that. You will try, you will fail. It is an issue that Border control overlooked her illness and didn't recognize it. She received medical attention and procedures that i wouldn't have access to, as a citizen without paying thousands of dollars. If we as citizens don't have that, i have an issue with illegal immigrants getting it. Though im not saying they shouldn't. The separation of parent and child is simple, adults go into adult facilities. Children who cannot be confirmed as the child of these adults will NOT and SHOULD not be held with them nor in an adult facility. Its not a fucking immoral system. Im against for profit systems and cheap immigrant labor, i think those businesses should be fined for hiring them and i don't want them here anyway. I don't understand the issue with this! The parents should be blamed, and the children are victims of it but that is not an excuse to let these illegal immigrants off the hook. "Oh your kid died, im so sorry... oh wait, this is your fault. Time to go to jail now, you piece of shit." We need to reform ice and Border control, help it work with immigrants but not without losing their toughness, we should be tough on immigration, especially now. When we fix our own shit and help the millions of people who don't have healthcare or adequate shelter who are citizens, THEN we can focus on immigration. Until then, immigration is a distraction, its hurting us more than we already are or at least not making matters better and it needs to stop being prioritized. A child died, im sorry. I realize the horrible fact that she will never be able to experience anything ever again, it bothers me. But that is not an excuse not to be tough on illegal immigrants and give them any leniency. We need to stop everyone else trying to come in. SHUT DOWN the borders for now. And lets focus on the assholes here and see if hey should be given a path to citizenship or not. Lets make the legal process quicker and easier. But after we get a handle of our own shit.

  961. Lately I've been questioning whether I should unsubscribe from you David,which sucks because I used to really like you despite our occasional differences. But idk man, this has got to be one of the dumber arguments I've heard. David, boycotting is not the same thing as cancel culture. Cancel culture attacks individuals. Boycotting goes after businesses and last time I checked we on the Left do not believe businesses have the same rights as individual people. Boycotting is voluntary. Cancel culture of another person is not. I'll use Stephan Molynew for an example. The guy is a closeted ethnonationalist and his politics are awful. However, that is irrelevant. He is a person who has the right to a platform. If you choose not to buy his books and actively tell people not to buy it and/or leave nasty reviews of it like people did to Rave Dubin, then that's fine. But devoiding him of a platform is not the answer. Now how are we supposed to criticize his opinions when we aren't able to access them? How can we show others how stupid he is when his content has been removed? Deplatforming and cancel culture are the modern day equivalent of book burning. If you don't agree then you are simply wrong, that's not an opinion that's an objective fact. We are labeling things we don't like and destroying them from the public and making it harder if not impossible to access This is objectively authoritarian and regressive. If you on the Left support segregation and banning a person for saying something YOU find offensive then that is by definition regressive. Why? Because we've progressed beyond these abhorrent values; at least in theory. Social media has allowed cancel culture to thrive. It's killing creativity, debate and free thought. That's simply not something you can logically argue. Cancel culture is a plague that makes the Left appear like the bad guy and makes the Right a group of victims and we all know the right loves playing the victim. It is regressive and inherently authoritarian to ban the speech and the platform that permits said speech to be delivered.

  1157. Tim Pool focuses on SJWs and thinks they are left. SJWs are not typically socialist, which is usually what people think of when you hear the term "Left". They don't have very many leftist economic policies. I personally, am a socialist; market socialist. I believe in some government but not much, mostly with energy and basic utilities. That the government should help out with preserving the welfare of its citizens (not illegal immigrants like we keep focusing on) and that since we dont have a communist Marxist society where its "To each according to their ability, to each according to their need" the government has to be the one to ensure a minute version of that system. Where everyone can truly to free and equal to pursue their own interests and have their basic needs met. My point is, im a Leftist, im an actual person who genuinely supports a post capitalist society. But i hate SJWs, why? Because while they complain about "the white man" i complain about the rich man. I complain about those with power, those who make it so hard for people to succeed, for people to pursue their own dreams. What if my pursuit of happiness is not making a lot of money? What if its backpacking through Europe? I need money to do that. If i don't have enough money to travel then i'm not free because someone or something is preventing me from doing that which is not naturally occurring. Money equals access, access equals freedom and if people don't have money then those people don't have freedom. I support worker cooperatives, small businesses, entrepreneurship and community organizing. SJW's don't fight for these things, the regressive left as Tim calls them don't care about these things. They complain about band-aids not matching their skin tone and that there arent enough female construction workers... Its annoying and its stupid. They believe in infinite genders and demand they have their own gender neutral bathrooms, ignoring that these have existed for years, they are called family restrooms. They call everyone sexist and racist and anti-semetic and anti-Islamic over everything. They have this victim hierarchy of oppression that makes everyone be content with their struggles because this one person might be a Mexican woman but this individual is a queer, black, physically disabled trans person with down syndrome... This list goes on and on and it pisses me off. I focus on class and alienation, they focus one gender and race. It pisses me off. So that's what Tim talks about, Jimmy. Self righteous and annoying gender nonconforming and PC "dont insult me or else" assholes who think they are oppressed when really they are the most privileged people ive ever met and seen.

  1242. As someone who is without question more conservative on cultural/social issues, i have been stating for years now that we need 2 new parties to take over the discussion. Both need to be economically left (social democratic or democratic socialist) but the two can differ on their social policies. I dont think we should force progressive or conservative cultural norms onto anyone, i think states should decide this (as well as counties) and allow people to move where they feel like they belong. Conservative and progressive views on behavior and day to day activities simply cannot coexist, especially when they attack the very foundations of the other, say the view on gender roles or example. But if enough conservatives can say, "hey, im no feminist and never will be, my daughter and my son are going to be raised as nature/god intended and what some academic stooges think, but in order for that to happen we all need healthcare, housing, good jobs and good wages." If more progressives can say, "hey, my grandparents may be rahcist but i shouldn't be able to deny them care based on that and we shouldn't try to get young people fired who say things we dont like" then i think we'd be in a better place socially. You don't need to be progressive to be socialist. I for instance, view the family as the root foundation of decentralized planning models socialism is based on. Even conservatives have acknowledged this, though for them they viewed it as a bad thing ironically. There are Christian socialists, which i am not, but plenty of conservatives in the modern era are both irreligious or atheist and have market skeptical views on Capitalism. Progressives can have their cities and conservatives should have theirs. Call it segregation of you like, i dont care. Conservative values impede progressive values of decorum and progressive values break down conservative values of decorum. So they should not intermingle on a regular, permanent basis. It just can't coexist. But it will be easier for everyone, no matter your stance on romantic relationships, duty, freedom, work ethic etc, if everyone supported UBI, unions, single payer healthcare, socialized housing and green infrastructure. Idk what any of what i just listed has to do with anyone's opinion on gender. It shouldn't. They aren't related. Socialism is all about the workers having control. Conservatives like work ethic, which i believe will improve under a more worker oriented economic model. Like famileis as much as i do? Dont price them out of the housing market, outsource their career, automate it away, higher cheap foreign labor and don't incentivize single parenthood, give assistance like child investment services (TANF, WIC, Universal Childcare, paid leave) to families. And invest in a Family Partnership Program that pairs single adults and single parents together to increase the stability of society and the individuals living in it. The only war that matters is the class war and subsequently the war on poverty. All other identitarian bourgeois distractions are just that; distractions. What separates us by race, gender, orientation etc is nothing compared to what unites us; shared experience as wage slaves and as members of the proletariat. Edit: id like to add that Libertarians (American capitalist ones, not socialists) are Right wing and largely progressive on social issues. What makes someone Right wing or Left wing is their opinon of Capitalism. If you think the answer is more Capitalism aka deregulation and lower taxes, then you are Right wing. If you are at the very least, skeptical of capitalism's effect on the populace, you are left leaning. If you seek to move beyond capitalism entirely you are Left. You support communism? Far left.

  1392. This is something the Left needs to understand. The majority of the working class are conservative by nature. Supporting local farming, being in fraternities (aka unions and cooperatives, creating self sufficient communities where everyone works in trades or sells goods in the communal main street market... These are all conservative beliefs. And it's predicated on discipline, family, duty, honor, gender roles and restraint from indulgence. Too many leftists today celebrate behaviors that go completely against the beliefs of the working class. The majority of liberals are white collar, tech gurus who have university degrees. The majority of the working class went to trade school, barely passed high school and work for their local store or their families farm. Those people are largely conservative. Conservatives are also more likely to own firearms, have the mental not to mention physical acumen for necessary violence and are steadfast in defending their land and country. All great revolutions were led by patriotic movements for national sovereignty. Stalin spent a lot of time focused on what makes a nation and why it was important. We need to reread and remember why that was. The cosmopolitan Left which embraces internationalism will always neglect the differences of varying people's with varying circumstances and conditions. If the Left cannot win over conservatives, they have no hope of ever winning at all. Conservatives build and maintain this nation, most nations in fact. They are the blue collar working man. They are the industrial and agricultural proletarians. Without them, even if the revolution succeeded, maintaining that new socialist nation would fail.

  1413.  @edenbreckhouse  Marx was certainly not the creator of conflict theory. That would go to either his educator, George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, or it would go to Thomas Hobbes. Perhaps even it could go to Niccolo Machiavelli. Either way, various forms of theories surrounding power dynamics have existed for centuries. The Art of War by Sun Zu gives lip service to power dynamics throughout. Marx's conflict theory explained power dynamics from the perspective of ownership over the current mode of production. Who worked to sustain themselves and who sustained themselves via those who worked for them. Class conflict itself is Marx explaining how the ownership of the factors of production and the means of production (aka the resources and the property required to produce goods) gives an exclusive power over society as everyone else must either work or pay those owners for the ability to use them. Feminism existed before Marx but of course manipulated and revised his writings to their own gain. Feminism has always ridden the coattails of other movements or revolutionary change. Wether industrial capitalism, socialism or even the civil rights movement. Feminists always make movements to be about themselves, ultimately distracting from what the initial arguments set out to change. Feminism ignores Marx's key takeaway that capitalism withers away all those old systems (such as patriarchy) and progresses past new ones before they can take root. Antonio Gramsci refers to this as capitalist hegemony where capitalism must be by default the only culture that exists. It must control our desires lest it fall to the power of worker solidarity, national identity, family loyalty etc. Also, Engles and Marx were not against the family or marriage. They were against bourgeois marriage, which they viewed correctly as nothing more than a business contract devoid of higher substance like community unification or mutual love.

  1447. As someone who grew up in the punk scene from the mid 2000s-2010s i can attest that alot of these people are "normies" in their aesthetic but are actually pretty punk philosophically speaking. And yes, it is a dialectic scenario where punk is opposed to what is "square" and mainstream which is why punk is always changing. When punk, either/both the superficial and the substance became more well established and accepted it lost its edge and therefore its alternative nature. Nowadays people try to revive punk that was seen back in the day (70-80s) because it is a pretty whack scene today and everyone is a raging woke fool who gets triggered by everything, and woke is the mainstream belief system so you cant be woke and punk. But then there are old school conservative (traditionalist) squares that have taken over many parts of the scene too because as Paul Joseph Watson said, "conservatives are the new counter counter culture, the new punk rock" and while that sentence makes me barf its technically true since conservatism has fallen out of fashion for most people, even those who typically identify as Republican or Christian. But there are many types of punks, both aesthetic wise and worldview wise. You got crust punks (usually anarko punks) who are members of the lower working class and underclass, gutter punks (who abstain from work and contribution altogether towards society in protest), street punks (those you see who usually have spiked hair and exaggerated dress) who are part of the working class and even sometimes lower middle class. Then there are hardcore kids which listen more to metal and beatdown hardcore music, they typically are blue caller workers and small business owners who dress more traditional but have loads of tattoos. You have straight edge punks who don't drink, smoke, do drugs and sometimes are either vegan or dont engage in casual encounters because they perceive self destructive behavior as what the establishment wants and also this overindulgent behavior prevents (in their view) the ability for the proletarian masses to revolt intelligently if not at all. Then you have the mall punks, these are middle class people (usually women) who think they are punk and go to shows and dress moderately "street" but in reality its an excuse to appear cool, to appear unique, to get with bad boys and to do drugs outside the confines of their suburban neighborhoods. Anyway, thank you for reading and i do hope i was of help in explaining a bit. I actually made a video about punks vs posers a few years ago.

  1506. It's true Americans are getting dumber. However, literally not a single reason you gave has anything to do with it. Seriously? Americans don't typically have passports and typically only watch American films, which you pointed out often take place in foreign countries... Which, sort of negates your argument. Also, Jason Bourne? Really? The man with a thousand passports to various countries is the example you give? Ironic is it not? These are the reasons Americans are supposedly dumber? Really? In truth, Americans are getting dumber because what we choose to teach our children has nothing to do with life and how to be self sufficient. We teach nonsense about social identity and social biases that supposedly aren't warranted, such as certain cultures and racial groups I can't mention (because freedom of speech doesn't include the right to tell the truth even if it's offensive apparently) commiting disproportionate amounts of crime and contributing to the continued destruction of social cohesion. I long for the days where only 4.7 of ppl born in America are actually American and not immigrants from lands not at all compatible with our sadly dying culture. I'd love to go back to the days where our culture actually valued virtues and disciplines long since deemed antiquated and bigoted. We are dumber in the US not because of our lack of worldliness, but rather because we have allowed ourselves to degenerate in favor of worldliness. We've put so many people before ourselves, we have forgotten who should come first: us.

  1532. 6:55 see, that's where you lose me entirely. You claim "so long as they dont jeopardize the sustainability of the system as a whole" but that's just it dude, newcomers, immigrants (especially with different cultural values) passer-bys and interlopers do by default jeopardize the system as a whole. You have a wedding with a list of guests and a guest invites more than 1 person, whose guest then invites two ppl. Exchange the wedding scenario for a union; you have a bunch of non union members benefiting directly from the collective bargaining agreement they are not a part of. The nation, the society, the community etc is a country club, it is a union (quite literally) it is a wedding. Outsiders pose an inherent threat to its existence because there are enough problems to deal with even amongst lifetime members of the club... You can of course pay a yearly fee to be a member of another counties library system. Btw, "consultative associations" you mean something which can only work and solely is found in homogeneous societies? "Social and material consequences that will inevitably arise if a person continues to act in a harmful manner" like what though? You've already stated that any real form of punitive measure would supposedly be unproductive and therefore disproportionate. What would be a proportionate penalty? I don't think you are willing to enforce those penalties. Unfortunately, "empathy" is nowhere near tough enough. We need to be strong, disciplined and hard on criminal activity to prevent it in tbe future or else you'll set the precedent that effectively anything goes. So basically you'd be no different than every single Democrat run city where crime isn't ever enforced and when it is, the consequences are so minor that it isn't a disincentive to stop.

  1539. I never understood why, as someone on the Left who is opposed to the exploitation of labor and the commodification of people, why others on the Left would support something that is implicitly exploitative, alienating and commodifying. Doesn't make sense to me as it seems to be counterproductive to progress. Hell, Karl Marx himself spoke about the "amorphous blight" that was sx work. He wanted to get rid of it and thought Capitalism was major in why so many vvomen were thrusted into that life. But nope, apparently it's empowering to be reduced to nothing more than an object of some pervs carnal impulsive desire. I thought the objectification of vvomen was bad, until it's all of a sudden empowering, in which case how dare you criticise it! And because of Capitalism, we view anything that makes money worthy of being considered work. I disagree. People who make money off of renting out properties for instance, that person isn't working for his income. It's unproductive income. People pay money for tons of things that are atrocious or unintelligent. Many people buy exotic pets only to learn how difficult it is to maintain. Which is why there are laws around it. And yes, Marxism is 100% correct that work today is oppressive and alienating. Not because of the work itself but the workers relation to his/her labor. He has no power over what he creates, he's a cog in a machine told what to make, when to make it, how much to make and for how long. He has no control in the creative process. That's why it's unfulfilling. Marxism is literally about the workers owning their production so that their labor is meaningful.

  1613. Kyle, i like you buddy I really do but your claim that smoking cigarettes outside does not affect the public is the dumbest thing you have ever said. Have you ever been to a concert? Outdoors mind you. I have. I used to work them. Even the indoor portion of the venue you could smell the smoke from inside if you were standing close enough to the door. I was a ticket guy, a doorman, I had to sit/stand in the doorway to let people in. On the outside to come in people would have to walk past a group of people smoking. They would have to get there hand stamped and tickets around a cloud of smoke. Not vaping btw which was also something people did but actual cigarettes. It was in the air. If you have a place that is accommodating to smokers they will smoke there freely and congregate as smokers do. It will stay in the air, it will affect people especially if there is wind. If you are in a park or a beach it is at minimum 50% likely there will be many children present who will be subjected to the many people smoking. And not just children but people with lung problems or who are susceptible to certain smells such as myself. The idea that smoking in a public place outdoors like a park or a beach is not hazardous to anyone's health other than themselves is absolutely objectively false. Go to a big concert where there are hundreds if not thousands of people. You are standing there watching Seether or whoever and there are many people smoking. Do you know how hard it is to mosh when a bunch of people around you are smoking? I don't think you have because you had you would not have made such an incorrect claim.

  1920. I watched it but didn't find it convincing since I dumped these childish fantasies when I was 19. Wealth is being concentrated, more and more people live paycheck to paycheck and less own their own home. Wages have stagnated while production have increased exponentially. Capitalists lobby for control over the government and 99% of policies implemented are done so because of powerful interests not the people's interest. Surplus value from a workers labor production is pocketed by the owners of the business he or she works for and in return is given a fraction of the proceeds. Your parents and grandparents made more more than you at the same age. Healthcare, housing and education have increased in price while effective income has not. Workers don't have the ability to negotiate and when they do businesses blame them for being lazy and demanding. There isn't a labor shortage, there is a wage shortage. In true Capitalist fashion, businesses are having t rethink what it'll take to hire or rehire employees because the bare minimum isn't cutting it and the working class has for the first time in a long time a tiny bit of leverage. Government is responsible for any inventions and innovations, beside that, Capitalism has only been around a couple hundred years but that never stopped innovations from happening before. We have phones now, so what. Our grandparents had busses and railways their grandparents didn't have. So what? Those great great grandparents didn't have sewage systems but they did have electricity. Before that they had horses and buggies to get around. Before that they hadn't even domesticated horses. So what? Poverty and a lack of access to resources exists regardless of what those resources are and what they can produce. We mix natural resources with labor to invent a product. Money comes into play when the business owner extracts the value of that labor and the product itself to "earn" a profit. The business owner owns the materials, the property and the individual laborer. They have all the power. If you quit you're merely exchanging one overly powerful stooge owning your labor to another one. Rich people like musicians and athletes are profiting the most off their labor due to market forces but they still don't own anything other than their labor and maybe a house. The stadium, the equipment etc is all owned by someone else and the money these athletes make by drawing in viewers still primarily goes to those owners. That's why income taxes don't work to redistribute wealth because it's not wealth that's being targeted but income. Income is what you make for your labor contribution, wealth is what you own, land, property, stocks, labor etc.

  2019. Really? You going down that route? LGBT isn't a choice? Then why are more and more identities being made up everyday to fit into that group? How are people changing their shrexuality based on their mood? That's a choice. Full stop. I used to believe it was ingrained but now they say being straight isn't inherent, that it's taught. Then so is being gaye. Also, children raised by single mothers are weaker. I can attest to that personally and refusing to acknowledge my personal experience is degrading and sidelines my existence. Now don't get me wrong, there are some men who deserve to be divorced. But the majority of divorces are initiated by the wife and the social programs that exist give more to single mothers than to families. Womn need to pick between the high status, hot guy with money and the stable, average Joe with far less money. They usually choose the wrong guy. That's their fault. Not the guys. Be more selective, don't pass yourself around like a hot potato, don't have unprotected and unintelligent shrex with people. There are so many ways now days not to get pregnant that if you do become accidentally pregnant then that's on you. That guy has a right to choose too. Your body tour choice, I agree. But that's works both ways. His wallet his choice. He doesn't want to raise that kid because he didn't agree to have it? Fine. He should have that choice. But saying that is ridiculous to most people despite the fact that that exact argument is used to justify womns behavior. Talk about "male privilege"... In what? Sports? So what. We are more likely to die from a workplace injury, commit self unalivement, we die younger, we are more likely to be homeless and for longer periods, we are more likely to be poor and have less opportunity for upward mobility, we graduate less and get lower scores... All of that yet men are privileged?

  2057. I am a very Left wing guy, I'm a fucking socialist for crying out loud but I am not a person who agrees with the woke ideology presented nowadays. For a time I became a Far Right goon in backlash to all the hate I was getting simply for being a straight white guy. Even acknowledging I was facing discrimination and hate for these traits made me receive more hate. It was because of this that I became an anti-SJW and to some extent still am. But I recognized that whole I may share the Right's hatred of wokeness, political correctness and cultural progressivism I did not share their beliefs either. I do not support the "free" market, I do not have an issue with abortion, I do not think women should be subservient to men, I want universal healthcare from a single payer system, I support further gun control laws and I don't support an ethnostate. I realized that what I am is someone who is politically homeless. I am very Left wing on economic issues, I don't support capitalism though I'm not opposed to traditional capitalist businesses existing on a small scale. Culturally I'm a bit moderate. I'm not a multiculturalist as I believe it is detrimental to civil society but I don't deny it's benefits either. I don't support mass immigration or giving illegals a pathway to citizenship. I support family values and disavow polyamory and casual sex. I don't believe in infinite, a spectrum or no gender existing at all, it's all unscientific nonsense. I don't believe in reparations or affirmative action. But I don't believe in the institutionalization of marriage as it exists. I don't believe in strict social roles either. I'm anti religious and i despise Social Darwinism as a concept. The "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" jargon infuriates me. I'm not sure where I lie. Because I find there aren't many people with platforms on YouTube who agrees with me on both sides. I'm not a woke cultural lefty but I'm not Right wing on any level either.

  2170. This was a cringey episode... I watch porn regularly and i understand its role in society, it has always existed in some sort of fashion throughout the years. But porn is not just "a job". It never will be and you are delusional if you think it is. You should expect it to be difficult to find people to have serious relationships with you when your job is literally to get fucked. I hope they understand that they brought this on themselves, you are devaluing sex and its a problem, i watch porn and im admitting it. I am addicted to it. Im lonely and have no one to touch and be touched by, but i wont have sex with random people because that wont satisfy my needs. You don't have to be religious and be averse to porn and porn actors. Its a gross business, it is. We arent supposed to have casual sex like this, or at all. That's not how we evolved. But it does have its place in society and i don't want it to go away, suppressing sexuality isn't healthy either. But this is an unhealthy way to express it. And i wil never understand poly or open relationships, if someone were to even flirt with my girl i'd contemplate killing them. If you have sex with someone else... Im gonna snap. Most people would. its why so many murders are crimes of passion and committed by their lovers. These porn-stars are unhappy, you can see it; well maybe not Buck but Buck is trans and (his) sexuality is off kilter anyway. (He) still seems rather intelligent though. You are disconnected and that's the problem.

  2290. "You cant tell people where you can work, how you're going to work"... sounds like you're against Capitalism sir, since we are forced to pick certain careers or starve/suffer and when we get those jobs we have almost zero freedom in what we do. We listen to our bosses and if we step just one centimeter out of line we can get fired. You want free enterprise, make sure the people can invest in themselves and in each other instead of relying on the banks and large investors that take stock and ownership over that new enterprise. You want freedom? Make sure people have their basic needs met and have access to resources necessary for them to pursue their own future. And maybe you, Jaime Dimon, should read the history of socialism. It might help you understand that socialism is not "when the government does stuff der der der". The government does what the people wants, in theory, but big companies and fat cats like YOU buy the government so that what the people want wont happen. These powerful capitalist overlords are just that, overlords. They bash centralized socialism from the 20th century yet what is a monopoly? The Soviet Union was a monopoly, the people were the employees of the only real business in the country, the government. That's no different than capitalism today. That is capitalism's nature. It flows to a small group of people. The very system that pushes competition pushes constant growth and buyouts of smaller chains more. The very competition they espouse, is the process that allows competition to falter. Because eventually, 1 or a few people will have won from that competitive market and leave the rest on the bleachers and in the audience to watch as things continue on without them.

  2552.  @sufianramli  you wanna see a place where everyone is poor. Go to a republican state. Why do you equate everyone having a house, food and freedom to pursue their own creative labor practices with like-minded people to be poverty? Why can you only value wealth from the position of usury and exploitation? "No one is allowed to want more than someone else" this is non argument based on an ignorant understanding of socialism. Also it's not like capitalism cares about what people want. Want a better car because yours is old and breaking down? Well here's a new car! Oh wait you can't afford jt? Guess you'll have to accept your broken down car. Don't bother taking public transportation, what little actually exists is subject to the same traffic and red lights as everyone else. It's also regularly late. Want a better house than the overly expensive apartment you're living in that hasn't been improved on since it was built in the 1960s? Oh well, you don't have the finances to complain or move. Want to get in better shape? Welp, good healthy diets require time, the utensils and the kitchen space to do so. Too poor to have all that? Oh well. Want to create a new restaurant? Too bad. You need to work your ass off for next to nothing for 20 years and then perhaps maybe you've had saved up enough money to open your own restaurant. Of course it will most probably collapse is 2-6 years for unforseen complications that no one could possibly account for. But yeah definitely, capitalism definitely cares about people's differences in what they want to do with their lives.

  2591.  @laur131306  the problem is, we all sell our labor for a wage. And that's ironically why some leftists are opposed to the ban or shaming or sx work. It is ironic though considering that socialism in particular is all about ending that exploitive relationship between laborer and owner. There is term for this btw, commodity fetishism. When people view themselves and others as nothing more than goods and utilities who's value is derived from their ability to sell themselves, their labor, their talents etc. We are reduced to commodities no different than the products made in a factory and discarded no different than a frozen meal when we are no longer of use value. Marx himself was vehemently opposed to sx work and found it degrading and yet another way to destroy the human value individuals, in this case wmen, have. Men who are low income for instance and who can't afford their education, don't have the ability to sell photos of themselves online for people to get off to. Womn don't need to pay for something they can get for free whenever they want. Men on the other hand are typically only seen by womn as valuable to them or worthy as a boyfriend/husband when they are of a certain status and have a certain level of resource security. Hypergamy is real thing. And when this occurs at a large scale, polygamy becomes increasingly popular, where a few men have all the gurls cause they have all the benefits from Capitalism; resources, affluence, influence, status etc. The remaining guys are left alone and neglected of affection leading to a masculinity crisis and an increase in violent crime. Men who don't have stable relationships are 10 times for likely to take risky behaviors and act out impulsively. We need a better economic model that ensures at minimum, a basic safety net is provided and at most, private property is abolished and owned socially. Before anyone gets confused, this does not mean your toothbrush, car, house, kitchen utensils, tv, computer or any personal items you use for daily life. Private property refers to property used in the production process, factories, land, machines, etc. You own your phone but those who made the phone or work at the factory that made your phone do not have any right or ownership over the production of that phone and all the others like it. That the difference. I'm an old school labor boy. Unions, universal healthcare, paid family leave, decommodification of the housing market... That's what I stand for. It liberates people from being owned and dependent on private Capitalists. Landlords, primarily rhe big ones on talking about, make their wealth via passive income extractions via rent. They don't produce anything. They make money off the producers who are forced to pay these people money to remain sheltered. We end that, less men would be lonely and more couples would come together. This is on top of culturally shunning behaviors that are deemed dysfunctional, exploitive or objectifying.

  2710. I love how conservatives complain about homeless people and shame them for their situation but then blame the "Libs" for their condition to score political points by acting like they care. They also complain about how California would help the poor if they money from them but then go on to champion capitalism. They call the Dems socialists then criticise the Dems for being greedy capitalists who dont actually care about the homeless... ironic. We need actual Leftists to come in and disrupt this system and give the people their basic dignity back. These people, these homeless people, they need homes. That would help out so much, but oh no, "free shit" how dare those dirty commies give people homes who desperately need them so they can move forward! The despair of being without a home harms us mentally, making the potentially already underlying mental health issues wayy worse. Its not a lack of character. Rarely ever is. It can happen to best of us. Those who dont have mental issues fell victim to circumstance. The cost of living, healthcare costs, low wages... For those who DO have mental health problems, many dont need to be locked away in a facility. That's not the answer. The majority need assistance but they first need a home, then we can truly help them mend. No more shaming these people. Do you want drug addicts on the street or in their homes or safe places where they can be monitored? Im not supporting drug abuse or drug usage but alot of these people do drugs after becoming homeless, not before. So many of you are a paycheck or unexpected emergency away from it. I've lived in my car for years. Im disabled. Its really fucking hard. And the hate and the discrimination you get, the dirty looks and comments...even though i shower at the gym. It's awful. You are always self conscious. Afraid the cops will tell you to leave or that someone will harass you. No one knows how hard it is to get benefits from the government either. They act like its easy... its not easy. It takes years for most people to get approved, often with lawyers. And the amount you get? Not nearly enough to live anywhere. Housing should be a right. Healthcare should be a right, including mental healthcare services.

  2771. I do not believe you can have one without the other. For what is the point to be free from imposition if you are not free to pursue or have access to whatever will allow you to reach your goal? Not only are your negative liberties being infringed by your inability to let's say, have access to healthcare but your positive liberty to life and the pursuit of happiness is being impacted. Then we reach the topic of personal autonomy, which is traditionally what freedom entails. The right to personal autonomy and choice, the freedom to make a choice (positive liberty) which is essential as part of our autonomy, will often collide (negative liberty)with another individuals right to personal autonomy. One person's positive right to choose will infringe on another's right to choose and that will infringe upon their negative rights to be free from some external force. Since autonomy is assumed to the goal when looking for freedom and since autonomy means the right to self rule aka positive liberty and exempt from external control aka negative liberty, then it means that on order to have freedom you must have both positive and negative rights. Both impede upon the other and collide in a vicious cycle. Yet they compliment each other. We must find the balance. The second amendment for instance is a positive right. The right to keep and bear arms. But limiting that freedom is infringing upon your negative rights. However, in my personal view the freedom/autonomy/right to posses a firearm should not supersede my freedom, personal autonomy and right not to be afflicted by your firearm. Both positive and negative liberties are being infringed for both me and the owner of said firearm at the same time. Ultimately this is a conundrum, one which has no definitive answer. Ultimately true freedom and absolute freedom is impossible to achieve regardless of which type of freedom you advocate for.

  2859. Here's my issue with this, s he has done this before, s he has competed on this level before. She also should have known going in what her "mental health" was like before going on stage. Instead, s he selfishly took a spot from someone else who would have gladly competed and would have done so not because of "fun" but because they would have a duty to perform, a duty they agreed to perform. If you sign up for something, and you make a promise you have to make good on that promise. S he bailed on her team and made an excuse, plain and simple, for why s he wouldn't continue. This is a further example of our culture nowadays, it's not even Simones fault, being raised in "me, me, me culture" where responsibility and duty are shunned as objects of oppression convinces everyone that's it's "stunning and brave" to just say "I know when to quit". It's not that we know when to quit, it's that we are encouraged to find any and all excuses to quit. Blaming stress is bs, everyone has stress, everyone faces pain and set backs, some more than others. Stage fright cannot be the issue since this isn't her first rodeo. And there are people with actual anxiety disorders who face lifelong pain trying to deal with their issue. This is not that. Also, you are not, let me repeat that, you are NOT there to have fun. You are there to win or you do not need to be there at all. The issue wasn't that s he let down herself, s he let down her team and her country. Simone had 1 job, and was unable to even do that. A terrible performance proves s he already knew there was a blockage mentally meaning that someone else should have been in that spot in the first place. But because of a culture teaching that weakness is strength and quiting is bravery, this act is accepted by a majority of people who must also be weak and just also be quitters. There is nothing wrong with knowing your limits, but forethought was of the utmost importance here and clearly none was used. All I heard was excuses, especially considering s he refused to comment on exactly what the issue was. This was not about her, it was about the shared goal of everyone involved who was let down. "I don't even know if I enjoy doing this anymore" then why did you sign up and go into the Olympics then?

  2952. This is so difficult for me because I've been trying to figure out how to explain myself to people when explaining my political identity. I wouldn't call myself a populist, though I have populist leanings. I tend to be more culturally conservative but I'm vastly Left wing on economic issues. I support worker solidarity across borders but I don't want those workers here in the US, I want worker solidarity to be global...which means I want those workers to remain in their countries. I am not very liberal socially. I don't support or agree with the typical cultural values of post modernism. I despise post modernism. I support the family. I don't like drugs and don't agree with legalizing them (weed and psychedelics are ok). I don't support reparations or affirmative action. I am not an LGBT ally, though I'm not antagonistic towards them either. I just don't believe in multiple genders or the ability to identify as whatever we want, especially with children. Take Dwyane Wade's son Zion for instance who now identifies Zaya; I'm sorry but I'm very hostile to that nonsense. Another conservative aspect to me is I have a very tooth for a tooth ideology. Prison is for punishment and removing bad people from society, not rehabilitation. This is why I believe the prison population should be much smaller. But even with my conservative leanings, I'm vastly Left wing. I consider myself a market socialist/democratic socialist. I support a total overhaul of the economy into a post capitalist society where the people and the workers have power over themselves and resources. I'm just saying that while I'm a Left winger overall and love your content as well as The Hill: Rising, I find myself agreeing with Saagar often on certain issues while also disagreeing with him on many issues. So the populist argument often discussed nowadays doesn't really have a place for me.

  3398. Men should compete with men. Women with women. Para-athletes with para-athletes. Trans athletes with trans athletes. Pretty simple. I don't know why we are even talking about this. Im Left wing, a genuine lefty, socialist. But i acknowledge science and the realities in our material world that are objective, science should not be political. Yes it's becoming political. Right wingers are anti-abortion despite the science around it. "Left" wingers are pushing gender theory which is not based in science or is at least overpowered by biology, physiology and evolutionary psychology. Right wingers deny climate change. Left wingers report that masculinity is harmful and dangerous... Its ridiculous. And lets talk about the gender issue. How can someone identify as a woman if what makes a woman a woman is merely a social construct that either doesn't exist or is on a never ending spectrum? How can someone FEEL like they are a woman? Isnt that promoting gender stereotypes and roles? Roles and stereotypes that are claimed to be socially constructed? And if someone doesn't identify as either male or female then how do they compete in sports? If someone chooses to transition then we are acknowledging that there is a binary and that you are going from one to the other. If gender is a social construct then why do you need to transition? HOW can someone transition if gender doesnt exist it is on an endless spectrum? And which is it? Is it on a spectrum or does it not exist? Because it can't be both. Its either an endless personal and individual identity, in which case the law should have no say or involvement in it because at that point its not something that can be followed. At that point gender is the same as personality. And if it doesn't exist at all then why have this conversation? Why claim to be anything? Why try to place a gender label on yourself if it is a purely cultural phenomenon that isnt based in evolution? At that point we go right back to where we were, we go back to understanding that our biological sex is how we should base our society and not our gender. Men can wear dresses and makeup, that's called a drag queen. It may be creepy to some, but its a way of life for others. Solved, done. A woman can be "butch" or a tomboy androgynous but so what? Should they identify as a different gender in order to rally against the social norms built by the dreaded patriarchy? Or should they be content with who they are? Why make a big a deal about it? If someone has gender dysphoria or an intersex condition then of course they are outside the norm, just like children born with extra toes or born conjoined are outside the norm. They aren't less human, they are people with a medical condition or abnormality. And dont gender theorists who refuse to allow studies to prove its a psychological disorder realize they are further stigmatizing the idea that if you have a disorder then you are less than. It perpetuates the lie that people who are or have emotional and psychiatric disorders like bi-polar disorder, anxiety, people on the autism spectrum and so on should feel ashamed that they have these issues. Its insulting to people like me who DO suffer from some of these mental and behavioral disorders. I want more studies to be done on the conditions i and other have to better be knowledgeable about them. But suppressing scientific inquiries about trans conditions is not only counter opposite to what they usually champion, which is "liberation" but its also furthering the myth that people either dont have disorders and should people just accept them without trying to help them and it leads to the ignorant stance that if they have a disorder that that is a bad thing. As for the bathroom issue, if a man wants to use the women restroom but identifies as a woman in that moment who are you to say otherwise? Who are you to tell him he needs to feminize himself to appear more like a woman to use the women's restroom? Because now what we are saying is you can only be considered a woman if you dress a certain or look a certain way. We shouldnt discriminate against a "man" who chooses not to change their appearance at all but stil identify as "female" because they dont believe that women should have to dress or look a certain way to be female. Maybe they dont identify as anything... what then? What bathroom do they use? Should we just have co-ed bathrooms everywhere? But if we did then that is harmful to the rest of society who isnt comfortable with that. My mom isnt sharing a bathroom with a man. Im not sharing a bathroom with a woman. Many people will feel too uncomfortable and if say "oh just get over it" then what we are saying is that "cisgender" people's feelings dont matter but trans-people do. Also how can anyone truly be cisgender if gender is just a social construct? Just use the family bathroom... I know this has been alot to read but i just needed to rant. Thank you for reading (if you did) and please take what i say with consideration. I have done much research into this topic but i dont know everything, but i want to know more which is why we should encourage further studies to better understand how this all works. Trans folks and non-binary people who read this (if you do) please understand that you are not less than human for how you feel but i firmly believe that you should accept your non-conformity and leave it at that. Changing and demanding others acknowledge that you have somehow switched genders, do not have a gender, can switch back and forth between them or fall somewhere on the "spectrum" is not beneficial to you or society. Accept who you are. Unless of course you have an actual medical condition such as gender identity disorder, which i hope you seek help for as their is nothing wrong with having a disorder.

  3455. The individual and the community are inseparable... Its because of our interactions with others that individuals can have anything, achieve anything and find meaning in anything. Hello, it took two people in the community to come together and care more about your needs for 18+ years! That's the point of conservativism isn't it? Community, duty, responsibility, contributing to something greater than thyself, the congregation of individuals as part of an organism made up of various parts? All of which makes sense btw. Yet ironically, the very conservative values most people, even leftists, probably agree on mostly, is rejected in favor of rugged individualism despite the two being inherently contradictory. The greater good, the commonwealth, pulling your weight, starting a family, staying In line, confirming to a role, the rejection of the social deviance and the act of shaming people who hurt the viability of the commons, aka drug offenders, lazy people, artists, the unwilling to learn, the promiscuous... All of them rejected for what purpose? Because it's not productive. Irs not beneficial to the well-being of the community at large. If you're religious then I'm pretty sure jesus christ said idolatry of anything or anyone but God himself was blasphemy, that those who seek wealth in life with find themselves in fire in the afterlife. The poor man who gave five dollars to charity was more worthy than the rich man who donated 1 million. Getting mad at transactions occuring in the place of holy worship. Christianity is not Capitalism's friend. Neither should secular conservatism.

  3490. This is a very cool episode because its a topic that has permeated the mainstream and no real conversations are truly being had about it and the ones are simply don't get the respect or the attention they deserve. I "identify" as a classical Marxist. I view things from a place of material condition and class structure. Racism is embedded in capitalism. Slavery is the epitome of capitalism, a person owns land and then owns workers to work on the land and produce from it while the profits go to the land owner and not the workers. Socialism prevents this as the core idea of socialist economics is worker ownership and free association. I see identity politics as a way to divide the lower and working class amongst itself based on race and gender over material conditions. A black person and a white person who grew up in poverty with a distrust of government has much more in common than a with a person of a same skin color who is wealthy. Gender identity has broken down into nothing more than describing personality. If you are a trans person who identifies as the opposite gender then that is an issue to discuss. but if we break down the idea of gender completely then there is no gender to transition to. Xavier is a female who transitioned into a male, a male with rather traditional tropes and characteristics. Why is that? I have concluded that gender is built around your role and means of expression. The issue is, a male or female can express themselves however they please and not revoke or change their gender. A person who identifies as poly-gender (yes thats a thing) is saying there are multiple ways they express themselves day to day, yet they claim its their gender that is changing. It is not. A gender fluid person is the same way but they are less stuck in multiple ways to express themselves and intertwine varying traits of femininity and masculinity into their appearance. A non-binary person does not describe themselves as fitting the two basic roles and decides to express themselves in an alternative way. But this does not prove they are a separate gender. They are merely non-conforming, and if they wish to use the term gender neutral, that is fine. But that does not change your biological sex and should not trump it. If you are a female who expresses themselves in a way that isn't traditionally feminine you are not a male or the absence of gender. Never will be. We do have roles that developed over time through evolution but these are being challenged now that we dont live in a society that requires them as much. When it comes to police brutality, i a white man, have experienced abuse from law enforcement my entire life. So when asked if i have ever experienced being aggressively handled by police the answer is an emphatic yes. My race clearly has nothing to do with it.

  3807. Socialist here, the reason conservative media outlets are the main ones talking about cancel culture is because they want to be seen as martyrs. They want to show everyone that it is they who are the oppressed and members of the counter culture despite their hatred for counter culture. The Left/liberal progressive wing on the other hand doesn't tall about it much because they downplay the severity of cancel culture and focus on "more important" issues like being having a roof over their head, a steady well paying job and healthcare that doesn't make them lose that house when they receive the bill. My main anger towards modern day liberals and Leftists is that the liberals only care about cultural issues and will only work on those subjects for symbolic purposes. But when it comes to economic issues they spit out the same capitalist free market BS that protects their bottom line while the Leftists often deny that they have become the very thing they hate; religious fanatics who despise difference of beliefs and science. I'm a Leftist because I fight for workers, disabled people and the family not the corporate overlords, bankers and elitist media. I want people to be free and not beholden to some private master who offers out slave wages. I want people to have their basic human rights met and it's the governments job to ensure that, otherwise the government should not exist. But do I think there are 76 genders? No. Do I think we should label it hate speech for saying so? No. Do I want citizens to be pushed to the back of the line while illegal immigrants are given our resources? No. But I'm still a socialist because capitalism is the big reason these companies are so quick to censor people. It hurts revenue? Oh well, guess we gotta ban em or demonetize em.

  3916. Men are depressed because women nowadays are a bunch of whores who don't want to pair up but instead want to feel "sexually liberated". There are negative male stereotypes but the stereotypes we often talk about aren't what is actually harmful. And its young men who are suffering nowadays. Old people need to be in group homes to keep social. Young men are overworked, pressured to be rich, stable, confident and narrow in ideals. Most men can't achieve that, especially in this economy. Women also thrust social pressures on men to live up to unbelievable standards. But men can be all sorts of things. But manliness and womanly are not cultural. And if they are its because nature pushed us in that direction. Men and women evolved differently, men evolved to be "manly" and women to be feminine. But in this day in age where that isn't so necessary we can allow for some wiggle room. Not every man is a Chad, not every man should be or has to be. But we do need to push ourselves to be the best we can be in whatever way we can. If society tells us as men to like a certain type of woman then thats just the way it is but i haven't experienced this. Many men like bigger women. I LOVE chubby girls and thick girls. Very sexy to me. No one told me to and some people give me shit for it but i dont care. If you let that bother you then that is YOUR problem. You can easily say "fuck this, i like what i like and you can shove it". But if you don then that is just falling to peer pressure. Not everyone is as strong willed as me, i get it. But we gotta move past this idea that our environment causes everything. I also stress that our environment tplays a big role and that we aren't truly autonomous beings. But there is a balance that exists. You can say "NO" to others and you can be impeded greatly by your situation that might require external assistance to get you out. Both are true and both can happen. Just saying. This mans girlfriend is gorgeous btw.

  3981. Let me dissect this for everyone... A rich black lady is going to speak for working class people and people of color. How condescending. Then we have some asshole from the Root which is one of the most racist channels on YouTube i have ever seen. Also they support Biden so that aught to tell you something. Bernie focuses on the class war as he feels like Martin Luther King did, that class and socioeconomic divided us much more than race. Also, Medicare for All it literally as inclusive as you can get. You can't get more inclusive than it being for ALL. Yet these people don't actually care about inclusivity. Because they focus only on themselves and want to be pandered to. Bernie is not pandering to them like they want so they are bitching about it. This emphasis on race divides us. It separates the workers and the "proletariat" against each other instead of joining together to fight the people who are oppressing all of them. You have angry, poor white people especially men who feel rejected and ignored by society. They blame black people and immigrants because all we hear is about hoe "privileged" and toxic white people are. Their needs aren't acknowledged or fought for and so they react emotionally against those who getting all the attention at their expense. By allowing everyone (not just black people) to have their needs met and have access to to the goods and services necessary for comfortably and stability then there wouldn't be so many disaffected and angry white people. If white people had their needs just like everyone else they wouldn't have an enemy to blame anymore. We need to stop making this a race issue because this fuels the right wing/white nationalist movement as they are the only one claiming to fight for white people. This is a problem.

  4377. I'm a big fan of if it ain't broke don't fix it mindset. But there is so much wrong with this society both socially and economically. I am not progressive at all, I'm quite opposed to modern progressive ideology that desires to end the family, monogamy, gender roles, duty, responsibility, and hopes to replace citizens via immigration and champions multiculturalism to no end despite it never working in any society for an extended period of time. But economically, Capitalism has got to go. You can't be pro family values and then destroy labor rights. You can't fight for a stable and orderly community when it's every person for themselves in a rugged individualistic real world battle royale. You can't claim to want to conserve what's great about the world and then endlessly ruin it via resource exploitation. I get people mad at me me alot. Conservatives get mad at me because I don't worship the feet of the Founders, I don't think "small government" is the answer and I do see liberal society (classical liberalism) as the way forward. But progressives get angry with me because I recognize that there is a binary, that the genders are different (though should be socially equal), I don't support wide drug legalization and I'm tougher on crime than most progressives would like. But with anything,there is nuance. Being tough on crime matters most after we improve material conditions. Rehabilitation is important but punishing those that hurt others is necessary. Eye for an eye. Blood for blood. Justice is blind, it doesn't care how it's achieved as long as it is. So we should make sure justice happens according to the law so that vigilantes don't run rampant. I kinda went off topic, my apologies. I identify as a conservative socialist, paternalistic conservative, communitarian, market socialist, hell, I even created a term; Marxist Meninist. Its semi ironic but is does the trick. Ultimately I recognize the faults and the disaster that is Feminism and it's effect on people both men and wmn, and that we need to go back to more traditional roles. Those the rigidity of those roles should be scaled back. Freedom of self expression is important, so is self control though. Many conservatives I talk to, though I wish it were more, often come closer to the Left side of economic thought once I explain how the family unit is a decentralized planned enterprise, where each person's needs are met and the distribution to each member happens as is required. Each pulls their weight and has a role to fill. When I explain it that way it works wonders. Family, Fulfillment, Fairness. That's my societal aims.

  4632.  @taragnor  we don't need to educate people more than we already have. Everyone knows and has been warned the risks of doing drugs. If you choose to do them, you are not a victim. You chose willingly to place yourself in that situation. Also, I don't wanna hear excuses about "oh it's a coping mechanism". Too bad so sad, don't give a rats ass. I was homeless for 4.5 years, I'm still dirt poor and barely scrape by. Im disabled and have difficulty holding down a job and making friends. Yet I don't use that as an excuse to drink myself dumb, do drugs and eat poorly. I work out at home everyday. I eat as healthy as I can within. I avoid buying junk food and useless items that take away from my ability to pay for food and gas. People have always been suffering. The point is to overcome it, hopefully collectively, since what we are capable of doing collectively is far more productive than what we can accomplish individually. If we collectively permit the usage of drugs then we will never be able to function as a society. Simple. Again, making the argument that certain crimes are already associated with alcohol, which is illegal, so we should legalize other substances too does more to argue my point than yours. If alcohol is bad and readily available, why add to that with other substances? That is throwing gasoline on a camp fire. Personally, and this is my opinion, not necessarily a fact or objective truth that should be actually implemented legally, but I'm not interested is maximizing freedom. Freedom is a lie and no free society has ever lasted very long without turning on itself or being overrun by foreigners who invade. Freedom of speech is the most important thing ever but freedom of action? Im sorry but people don't deserve that freedom because whenever they have it they use it irresponsibly. I care far more about function and order than liberty or equality. And there is no such thing as a functional addict. That's an oxymoron.

  4658. This is the problem with Tim's argument. He is complaining that a select few will "have" to work while the majority are automated out of the workforce. But, we already have to work in order to survive because that is how capitalism works. You sell yourself and your labor to be paid a wage that you can use to purchase things you as an individual deem necessary. In a socialist economy work is the incentive, not wealth gain. Work becomes, as Marx stated, "life's prime want". We as individuals can decide for ourselves what we want to contribute and how and who who we wish to associate with to contribute. We focus on our own interests and abilities, hence the term, "each according to ones ability" and provide that to the world. For example, a chef makes food not to make money but to feed others and know they satisfied someone else with their effort. The same thing goes for the developer of a video game. They make the game for people to enjoy because they want the public to experience their creation. Thats the incentive. Not the perverted incentive of capital accumulation. I agree automation need to be limited or even illegal in certain industries. Automation for large factories and manufacturing plants should be fully automated but because of this, the community should have access to everything produced by these robots instead of the capitalist reaping the profit. UBI is not the solution it is a stepping stone to the solution, which is, equal access to the means of production. UBI slightly imitates this by giving money to people in order to have access to certain things at a limited level. Family, free association and achieving the best of your ability become the meaning of society and life instead of working for a wage or accumulating wealth.

  4664. Poverty and struggle dont make people sad. Humans throughout history lived in worse conditions and depression wasn't a major problem that we know of. Isolation, lack of family and friend connection, destruction of the family unit itself (whether nuclear or multigenerational), constantly comparison to others doing way better and living lives we wish to experience a fraction of... that's what leads to loneliness and depression. I am a conservative. I always will be, likely always was. Conservative values like family, discipline, brotherhood, self sufficiency, gender roles and community are important to me and more importantly, necessary for society. All this said, the culture conservatives advocate for is destroyed far more by capitalist society and its individual focused viewpoint. Socialism in my mind is far better at maintaining and stabilizing families and communities. But the hedonism, the shamelessness, the lack of personal discipline and self restraint... it is because of rhese things socialism could never last long. That "red pill garbage" as you call it, is exactly what needs to become mainstream for socialism to thrive. Traditional gender roles are necessary for society to exist. Cultural and ethnic diversity/immigration is also a recipe for disaster and the destruction of society itself. Ppl can and should have their own nations, which are socialist preferably, but they need to remain there. Keep their sovereignty as we do the same. Many people can't coexist. Many others can coexist but can't share the same space for any extended period of time. If you're a progressive (this goes for anyone) you're supporting a culture that benefits capitalism. If you're a conservative, you're supporting an economic system that doesn't care about your family values or self sufficiency. Logical consistency is not the same as ideological consistency.

  4739. You seem very confused as to what it means to be Left wing. Joe Biden is objectively speaking a mainstream Democrat... There are very few left wing Democrats beyond Bernie, AOC, Katie Porter and Illah Omar. But even then, they aren't exactly bastions of leftism, rather they focus on progressive social policies. This is not what the traditional Left wing is. If you are pro capitalism, you are Right wing. If you are skeptical of capitalism and or want to move past capitalism, you are a Leftist. Most of these if not all of them, still believe in capitalism though of course with a regulatory system that protects consumers, workers and the environment. I get very sick and tired of woke ideology interfering with the Left wing agenda of workers rights. Then again, you can be a social conservative and be economically left wing just as you can be socially liberal/progressive but have economically right wing positions. I for instance, an very socially conservative but have quite left wing economic positions. The AFD in Germany is very similar, as is the UAR in Romania and NatRally in France. Even Reform UK is rather economically nationalist, though I'd prefer they hone in on that a bit more. Ive been criticizing for years leftists who claim we should focus on economics instead of culture war issues because ultimately alot of them end up supporting those progressive cultural policies, but simply don't want them to be in the spotlight. I am not a class reductionist, i recognize the importance of culture in society, and I believe a conservative culture is best for society and a more social oriented economy would best supplement conservative values.

  4786. Even the CIA, who was staunchly anti communist, had data that showed the caloric intake, literacy and healthcare outcomes of Soviet citizens. So it's untrue that there isn't evidence to suggest their successes. The market only pays those who follow along with it. Skills and innovations that aren't profitable don't get through. Which often time what is best for society is not best for private capital. This is the problem with capitalists, they narrow everything down to people. "so you're saying there are bad capitalists". No. Its not about the people themselves. It's about the structural imperatives of the capitalist mode of production itself. For example, a liberal will say we regulations to curtail the negative externalities of capitalism and we need more diverse landlords. The socialist says no, we don't need to continue prescribing pain killers if we know what is causing the pain and repair it outright. We also don't want a more diverse array of landlords, we don't want landlords period. Workers have to put up with bad bosses and polices all the time or else lose their healthcare, income and whatever else to subsist. That's the difference. Workers have only their labor to use to live by. Socialists believe that should be enough. Capitalists want to instead profit off others labor productivity and reap the rewards made by others hands. Governments do not create monopolies. Quite the opposite. It's deregulation that incurs monopolies and the second the government steps back on its enforcement the creation of monopolized capital skyrockets faster than ever. We see this time and time again. What government does do, is benefit already existing monopolies via lobbying that ensures centralization of wealth happens even more for the capitalist. Whatever criticism you have of government corruption, always ask the question, who is funding the corruption. You will always follow the money trail back to an oligarchical capitalist. Edit: I don't want John or Jose to become the next Bezos and create the next Amazon. That's the point. You cannot do that without the exploitation of millions. What is the number of Amazon workers on food stamps? I don't recall the exact number but it's over 60%. By definition, that is a starvation wage since their wage must be subsidized by government welfare. That's not a good thing. Now is Stalin any better? That is where I disagree with the Prof. "At the cost of millions of people" he says over and over and over again. I wanted him to become one of those millions lost after awhile. We get it. But what about everything we have today? Coffee, chocolate, cars, batteries, refrigerants, oil, aluminum, steel, our plastics, clothes, component parts etc. At what cost globally do we as Americans benefit from the cheap labor of those people around the world? What about transporting dangerous chemicals on trains that derail and explode? What about the cost of the people from east Palestine? Do they not matter? And then he tells the Prof to move to a country that no longer exists... He's not defending Russia you bafoon. He's making the case for why the Soviet Union wasn't as bad as American propaganda claims. Wait wait wait... Now he's blaming socialism for the backwards rules of theocratic Iran???! Negative IQ points. Plenty of refugees and migrants come to America for handouts. That's literally the problem we're having right this very minute at the border.. "How hard was it to get a PhD" who cares!? How hard is it to repair sewer lines and clean rooftops? How hard is it to climb cell towers? How hard is it to maintain a family farm? Infinitely more tasking and strenuous than it is to become a professor. You'd think these people with important labor intensive trades jobs would make hundreds of thousands. But they don't. The market instead rewards a PhD more than the gritty blue collar workers who maintain our society. How do you explain that?! "What can I do to my employee who flips me off and quits? Nothing". Yeah sure nothing at all. Besides taking away his health insurance, income and blacklist him from other places of employment. But yeah other than literally revoking everything he had to remain healthy, sure, you could not do anything. And 40 million were killed because they quit working? Now we're just making stuff up. Btw, Right wingers approve of that. If you starve it's because you chose to be a slacker and not work for your meals. So what are you complaining about? According to your ideology, 40 million lazy bones got deleted for not being contributing members of society. Saying that America refuses to ban Chinese Owens TikTok isn't exactly the pro market position you think it is champ. America should ban it. It's in our national interest, not the interest of global capital. We d not have freedom of speech in America btw. Talk to literally any conservative or anti anti war, pro union lefty. Censorship is the name of the game.

  4902.  @nunyabidnis3815  order is determined by function. What determines function? Whether or not the net impact of a decision whether by an individual, group or governing body is net neutral, positive or negative. If the result of that decision was negative and would be negative consistently across the board should it be adopted as a behavior then it's net negative and therefore dysfunctional. If the behavior does not have a clear or overbearing impact on society as a whole then it would be considered a net neutral impact and therefore a tolerable behavior not to be shunned or encouraged. If a behavior, sets an example that is results in a positive outcome and it influences others to take part in similar cooperative behavior then it is a net positive and therefore functional and should be supported by the majority. I'm called Rex the Rebel because when I was a teenager I was part of a youth Golden Gloves boxing gym. I had a mohawk and looked like your stereotypical punk rocker. Hence the name. But philosophically and politically in a rebel in the sense that I don't fit into any traditional category. I'm an atheist and am avidly anti theist but I'm conservative on cultural issues for rhe most part, but despite this I support the legalization of sc work (even though I despise the practice, it serves a function), yet my economic beliefs are decidedly left wing since I'm a socialist and oppose the private ownership of land and capital. I'm a Marxist in the sense that I recognize and acknowledge historical materialism, class divisions and the concept of wage slavery. Yet I'm not a communist of either the Marxist or anarchist variety, as I tend to support market socialism, syndicalism and guilds. Though I appear all over the place and ideologically contradictory that is because I am not interested in ideology but function and logical conclusion based decisions. If I am logically consistent that is all which matters. I do not advocate specifically for a libertarians or authoritarian position simply for the sake of it. I support free speech because suppressing it is dysfunctional and prevents the subject of what is functional out of proper discourse. However, I do just t support the legalization of drugs because it does not lead to productive, reliable, honest or trustworthy people and often results in undesirable outcome not only for users but members of their community, their workspace and their family. What someone's worldview is is irrelevant. All that matters is behavior, the intention and the outcome. I care little about what one says, rather I judge someone based on what they do. And everyday we choose and lose friends because of what they say or do. Politically, how we enforce order is by having law be determined by order and not law determining why's order is to be. And again, order is derived from function and more specifically what is overall functional. Certain things that are undesirable serve a function in the absence of an overall functional state. Obamacare for instance serves a function but it's purpose that it serves and the function that it provides would be obsolete if a universal single payer healthcare system was in place. The refund the police movement only works if the material conditions of a community are already improved, the proof of this is the suburbs. Where there is little inequality there is little crime and therefore little need for a robust police force. The concept of the family, whether nuclear or extended, is key to society as it provides the basis of what society is built on, cooperation, separation and respect to skill and contribution, distribution methods to best serve all those involved in the unit, a sense of support and growth, stability and proper social skills. Therefore values around the basis of the family are critical for the majority to uphold. There is always room for exceptions, without filth we cannot know what is clean. The need for rebels keeps the powe structure in line and in return the power structure keeps everyone else in line. The social contract is immensely important for civil society. Emphasis on the civil aspect. When workers are neglected, men are rejected, womn are objectified and responsibility is vilified then hope for social stability and order is lost. Freedom is not free, duty, responsibility and self restraint are essential. Lest we fall into sociological anarchy.

  4904.  @nunyabidnis3815  as I stated before, situations and certain environments change the importance and the necessity for certain functions and that would be taken accordingly. Ideology should not dictate anything. Material conditions should. Objective aspects of our reality should. We only know to have laws in place because we recognize certain behaviors are disrupt social cohesion, some more than others. For instance, jaywalking, despite being pushed by the automobile industry, had an impact because the invention of clear road laws had yet to be determined. Many people would walk in front of and cause accidents. So laws were put in place to reconcile the sharing of pedestrians and automobiles, though it can very reasonably be argued that car dependent towns are a blight both aesthetically and cost wise as they take in more money than they give back. As for who defines the harm, it depends on the system in place. In a socialist society the workers or the community itself would. In Feudalistic times, landlords and kings did. Today in modern Capitalist society, codes of conduct not driven by Capitalism are made unable to "ossify" as Marx stated on Capitalism's refusal to let any form of value, norm or social behavior exist outside the need for consumerism. So a battle between business, voters, experts and politicians all vy for control. However, what is the most functional for them dictates their motivations. But that's why the aggregate is more important, that's why the general rule is important. Because as a general rule, while outsourcing, low wages, illegal immigration and deregulation might be the most functional for widescsle profit, the negative externalities that affect consumers, domestic laborers, foreign labor, the environment and the upkeep of social interdependence suffer as a result. Weighing the pros and cons needs to be deliberated on based on facts presented. It not functional for a purely centralized or decentralized system to determine prices and production. A mix of both is necessary. Life is complex but actions and outcomes speak for themselves. I don't need to jump off a bridge or stab a needle in my arm full of heroin to know that neither of those things are good for me, neither of those things are subjective statements. The more we make things subjective the less we can even rely on truth to dictate how we operate our lives. I fight against people's perception of the truth because ones perception is irrelevant. Someone may truly believe that they are a ghost and act like they are, this is their experience and therefore that's makes it real to them, just like someone who is schizophrenic or anorexic. But it doesn't matter what their experience is because their truth does not determine the truth. Material reality does. Someone's faith is whatever god they believe in does not make it so because they have enough faith. Religion is so atrocious for the very fact that it is so interpretable and unobjective yet millions live their life by it. Sure, religions can form a sense of social commonality that helps that community flourish but we need other things that are concrete and evidence based to determine that common sense of values. If it ain't broke don't fix it. This is valuable because it shows what works and what doesn't. Things that don't work should be replaced. Its very easy to determine what works and what doesn't when looking at things for what they are. No system is perfect, that's because humans aren't. I'm not asking for utopia, I'm not an anarchist who believes society and it's inhabitants will spontaneously and magically all recognize how everything and everyone should fit into place. The O in the Anarchist logo is just that, an O, not a circle. It stands for Order. But they believe this order will come about spontaneously. I do not. It takes time, trial and error, arguments.

  5009. My mom and I are homeless, have been for three years. Three good damn years. I'm autistic and she has arthritis. We live on fixed income. It is no where near enough to feed us the entire month let alone help us afford a small apartment. And the assisted living programs are useless. We've been trying to work with them for years. It is backlogged because so many people need homes. And there are more than 560,000 homeless people. Those are head counts where groups go twice a year to look for those living on the streets and also by counting those in shelters. News flash, most homeless people choose to go it alone on the streets than in a crappy homeless shelter. Many of us live on your cars. The fees that homeless people have to deal with are bad, car insurance, can't afford it. So you get pulled over for a cracked window which you can't fix because you can't afford it. So you get a ticket which you can't afford to pay for something that you were unable to afford to pay for... Evicted from your home because the water bill suddenly became separated from the main rent which was rising every year, storage unit, price goes up every six months. That's a hundred out of your limited income. A loan you needed to get to eat because you didn't have any money that month because of a car emergency. That loan given to you so you could eat and not die had 115% interest rate. 18mknths later and you're paying it off. Another 400 dollars down the drain which put us in the same situation over and over and over again. 20 dollar gym membership which becomes 30 dollars because your fee is either late or unable to be paid so you can shower... Food and gas expenses so you can survive and get from place to place, like the library for instance. A salvation of sorts. People don't need to build more middle class apartments. People don't even need to build low income apartments and housing. There are already enough apartments and houses to go around for every homeless person, 6 for each infact. Shelter, internet access, a kitchen to cook or own meals instead of being forced to buy fast food or eat canned food from a food bank. Is like to make money online from YouTube videos and streaming. I'd also like to sell chili that me and my mom hope to make with a new recipe we've been thinking up. And you're right, Kyle, no one talks about homeless people. When they do it's for 2 minutes. And it's usually to demoralize them and blame them/us for their/our condition. Instead all I see anyone talk about is immigrants this and immigrants that. The poor immigrants. That desperate people who need or support. Well where is my support? Why is it that these immigrants receive all the sympathy and attention? Why are they considered desperate and selling economic opportunity while I'm not? Because I and most are. We get lost and ignored. No help is given to us. Yet these immigrants often illegal are given more than we are. They are promised more and get treated better than us. I'm not familiar with too many illegal immigrants being homeless. Tell me why is that? And I've seen the photos of these migrants supposedly traveling miles and weeks to get here. The clothes they wear are often now expensive than we spend on did in two weeks. They don't look like they are struggling. They look like people who decided to go for a hike. They may have issues but mine and other homeless people have problems that area probably worse. I would like to add that we are citizens. American citizens victims of brutal class discrimination and capitalism. Capitalism then exploits these immigrants but these immigrants also exploit us, our asylum laws and our legal process. The reason so many come here illegaly is because of how good they have it when they arrive. If is easier than entering the correct way and they don't have the same responsibilities citizens face. If it was so difficult for them they would not continue coming. Yet homeless people are still here. Suffering while illegal residents live in the homes that belong to us instead. They get healthcare and access to colleges to recieve education that citizens homeless or not do not get. We cannot have Medicare For All and free college if we continue to have such lax immigration policies.businesses who hire these people before citizens should be fined. Those who have been here illegaly for years should pay fines, the longer the illegal stay the larger the fine. Those who allow illegal immigrants into their homes should be fined. We need to limit how many people come in here. 12 millon are here illegaly that's not ok. Homeless citizens should come first, they should be priority number 1. They have have just as rough if not rougher. America needs to get it's priorities straight. It's priorities are ending homeless, Medicare For All, universal basic income (which would help eliminate poverty), affordable education and infrastructure as well as investing in low income communities to help them build their own local markets grow and flourish rather than large corporations. These large corporations are not the job creators nor these communities need. Self management, worker co-ops and and small businesses are what these communities need. And limiting immigration is also a good policy. Rich immigrant or poor immigrant matters not to me both are harmful to the workers of this country. America first, Americans first. Let's fix our own shit before bringing in more to exasperate the situation. It's a distraction.

  5035. Question: "why are you so angry?" Answer: because I'm constantly told I have mass amounts of privilege yet haven't seen or felt any of them. I was homeless for 4.5 years (as many men are as compared to wahmen), I now have a trailer that is way overpriced but is all that is available and partly paid for with assistance from local government aid, I don't have WIFI or a computer, my phone is cheap and cannot handle recording videos which is what I want to do, I want to be a streamer and I really felt the same as that hotel employee because we are both disabled and have issues holding down work. I am alone and single and I see that the behavior most people, most wahmen are partaking in is behavior like what we see on these streams. This culture we live in now is so selfish and irresponsible that it creates it's own villains and blames those people for fighting against all of this crap. I'm angry because I can't respect someone who doesn't respect themselves or anyone else yet demands they receive respect and approval despite it all. I'm angry because I'm not the only one suffering, millions are yet no one cares and no one wants to do anything about it because it's not profitable and does not fit into their woke progressive narrative. I am by no means a Right winger, not by any stretch of the imagination. But I'm sick of people constantly acting as if they are superior to others when at the same time they shame men for supposedly being "superior" or "systemically benefiting" from the world. I'm angry at the double standards, the hypocrisy and the never ending irony of all this. The degradation of moral fiber and objectivity in the world, the constant whining about meaningless things yet the dismissal of issues that matter. In angry that I've lost hope for society because society has given up on it's people, on its priorities to them and to the stability and freedom we are supposed to want to have. And I'm angry that so many are willingly leading us down a path to destruction and that most who oppose publicly all if this crap are just as partisan, subjective, wrong, foolish and corrupt as their opposition. I hate that moderation, balance and the need to understand what that is has been long forgotten and in fact rejected.

  5283. Very interesting video. I love seeing this. Personally i have many progressive and conservative ideas but i identify as a socialist. SJWs are not "far left" btw, they are closer to the center as most still support capitalism. Anyway, i don't identify as a feminist but i do mostly support progressive policies and values. Its also interesting to see a progressive trans person not be a feminist, but i think that's cool, shows that even amongst "Left" wing people they don't all degree; obviously. To the girl in the red scarf,i have to say, black power is definitely anti-white as the majority of leaders for the black power moment either supported segregation and didnt want us interacting or they fought for black supremacy, that just historically true and even today when i see someone support that movement they seem to be very discriminatory and hostile towards white people. And men dont privilege. privilege is based for more on the basis of class and wealth than it is gender, especially nowadays with how privileged women are over men. Everyone has privilege over another. That one girl said she was homeless for awhile, i know what that's like. Im homeless and have been staying in my car for 3 years. Im a man, and homeless people are disproportionately men. Those who do better in school and who graduate or likely to be women, not men. We should not focus on what divides us. Constantly talking about "male privilege" is why so many men, like myself, cant consider myself a feminist because I have no privilege. I never have. I grew up poor to a single mother, who got inured on the job and now finds it difficult to work. Even worse, im autistic and so its very very hard to hold down a job for me, i wished it wasn't but it just is. Of course conservatives mostly don't get that and claim its an excuse and that we "deserve" to be poor because if we wanted to then we wouldn't be, even though that's blatantly false. it's good that they acknowledge that "patriarchy" is not men though and that men are victims too. There are plenty of women who have power and privilege and there are plenty of men who are. We divide it on gender and not class, that's what bothers me. And the black girl in the red jacket really made a good point, we need to push for legislation and policy to get us to a more equal, free and fair society. To me, that means free or affordable college, universal basic income, medicare for all, small business incentives and business cooperatives etc etc. The black community especially needs these things. Large corporations don't help poor blacks, small localized markets and businesses do, worker cooperatives do. That's what those communities need. More funding towards schools in rural and poor neighborhoods too, regardless of the racial demographics. That girl in black though... what a dumbass. Im sorry but c'mon? Really? You voted "as a joke"??? Wtf? And the girls response to her was perfect. All of theirs. But the red shirted girl doesn't realize he is a bad business man. His business dealings are shady as fuck too. AND he just gave nuclear technology to the Saudis. The excuse given by conservatives is that its better the US does it instead of China or Russia... but that's misleading and dodgy. And again, Trump has broken many promises. Lower the deficit? Nope, that exploded. Choosing not to touch healthcare? Nope, he cut it and ripped it apart, hurting millions. The wall? Nope, even with a majority he couldnt do it and then he waited til the midterms after the Democrats gained seats. And he blamed them for the shutdown... give me a break. I wanted to give Donald a chance when he entered office but he failed me and America time after time. Im done with him and if he gets reelected my mom said we'll flee to another country and claim we are economic migrants due to our abysmal financial situation. And again, the Jewish lady in the black one siding this argument... conservatives haven't been mean to you because they mostly agree with you... I wore a shirt that read NRA: Not Rational Adults and i got jumped for it. I wear my Bernie shirt and i get harassed constantly. My Socialism t-shirt that reads, "A system where greedy and lazy bigots steal from the laborer and give to themselves... oh wait, you mean capitalism"? People coming up to me all the time and talk shit, calling me stupid and that im "anti-american" and that i want to make the US Venezuela, that's every conservatives defacto argument. Quick answer from me about abortion, im pro choice. Not anti-choice. There is no pro-life, its anti-choice. You don't want teens to get pregnant? Don't want black babies out of wedlock? Pro-choice is the way to be. Its not a baby, its the potential of life. So is my sperm... so what? And conservatives really are over blowing and misrepresenting the abortion bill recently passed. Planned parenthood to kill black people? Give me a break. Less people get abortions when its legal. Less teens get pregnant now anyways. And not only that but poverty leads to this too. So if you don't want abortions, help eliminate poverty. Sex education is important, teaching us not to engage in casual sex is important. The MeToo movement had good intentions but it devolved into an actual "girl cries wolf" witch hunt that showed its hypocrisy and its bias towards hurting men who didn't deserve to be vilified. Feminists and the MeToo movement have damaged the relationship between men and women, its made men and women unhappy and it has broken up families... its why we have low fertility rates because men don't have sex as much anymore largely because of how many women are and how the economy is. Its so difficult to approach women now because they are super paranoid, im not a predator. Im a shy guy who is awkward... im not a villain who wants to hurt men. I love and respect women, im against casual sex and i prefer monogamy. So no, im not some horrible person looking to use a woman. But ive experienced this. Its also something many of my friends both male and female have experienced. And to the point about women being afraid of men, i get that, i totally understand that. But if you are at the club and drinking... you aint scared of shit. You are there to flirt and go home with some guy for a hookup, likely while drunk. So don't give me this bullshit of "oh i was so scared", bitch no you weren't. You're Muslim and you are bisexual and you have sex outside of marriage.... you are not Muslim... denounce he religion because the religion specifically denounces you. Progressive Muslims piss me off with that hypocritical shit. Also, you are against the patriarchy but subscribe to literally the most patriarchal culture in the world... what an idiot. You can't even show your hair. And consent is a difficult subject. i don't need to consent to ask a surprise my friend who is a girl and hug her from behind. I know her and she knows me. We don't always need consent. The gender thing is soo tired. Gender has become the same thing as individual personality. Its not. It should not. If you express yourself a certain way with dress then that isn't your gender. Your gender doesn't change nor is defined by your attire. If you are transexual then of course you can and should be accepted as a third sex/gender. That trans person in this video became a woman, why does she feel she is a woman if being a woman and feminine is only a social construct. The gender non-binary debate contradicts itself at every turn. Awesome video btw. I enjoyed it.

  5301. The people who cry about "class reductionism" are dead set on dividing the working class into separate groups instead of one mass proletariat. Marx did not want us to fight about who was the more oppressed, he wanted us to fight against those who were the oppressors. The white man and black woman working under the harsh conditions at Amazon have far more in common than they do different. They claim we should not deflect blame to immigrants or black people but then deflect that same blame to a group of innocent people because of their race, their race happens to be white. You aren't going to gather a coalition of people who have been told they are privileged and are racist cause they are white. You will create racists, the thing you hate. They are manufacturing their own villain. White people who are disaffected, poor and angry hear non-stop that they are the villain, that they oppress others and benefit from this supposed racist system when they themselves are under the boot of desperation. They hear all the pandering to minorities and think, "wait, I'm not the bad guy... Where is my issues being addressed? Where is my affirmative action? Where is my housing voucher?" When woke identity obsessed liberals put arbitrary conditions over the real issue, those who own the production and those who make it, you lose part of that group. You demonize a group of people while at the same time calling for unity and insisting that we shouldn't generalize. They say we shouldn't blame blacks for this situation but then around and blame random white people. What a strategy... those so called "socialists" on the Left who focus on race over class should be ashamed of themselves. Like you said, Kyle, you wouldn't have a bunch of people blaming immigrants and blacks if everything was hunky dory. Of course illegal immigrants are most certainly partly to blame but that's not the point.

  5410. I personally don't agree that freedom is something that we should fight to maximize over all else. I prefer functionality as a goal. And of course without levels of freedom guaranteed to the society, it can't be functional. However, your position on relationships being organic is nonsense. Most are by circumstance. Friends of convenience and proximity. Today, relationships don't typically exist and if they do it's short-term only. Intimacy is dead. Love is dead. Arranged marriages come in two forms, the form he was suggesting was forced rather than consensual. Indian marriages exist in both forms but their relationships are healthier on average. For better or for worse, for richer or for poor. Unless someone is being abused or both parties agree, you should not be allowed to divorce. Marriage was created for a completely different reason than the atrocious one you listed. Marriage was a tribe recognizing two people being unified, their families mixed as one now. That's what a wedding was, a ritualistic recognition of that union. It insured that abuse did not happen because you would have to be punished for your abuse by the others family. It ensured the stability of the child. It also protected both husband and wife from infidelity, which in some places was justification for the family of the other to order an annulment. Womn are not good at picking men. Clearly. That's why they have their father or grandmother or elder in the community pair them up. It's a system that ensures the men they are with are healthy, reliable, productive and kind. It ensures the womn paired up with the men are modest, dependable, nurturing and not the town bicycle. Freedom without responsibility is corruption, responsibility without freedom is slavery. There has to be that healthy balance.

  5414. MAGA boy complains about identity yet clearly wears a Trump apparel out the wazoo. How rich. Then he claims it's all about policy. What policy? Name 1 good policy Trump had done. What are his policies? They are all over the place. And who care about elitist Pete. So what if he's gay? So what? He's a typical liberal who takes money from a small few with alot in their bank account. But what is this bullshit about the yellow shirted nonbinary person? So stuck on identies, so annoying. And then dumb anti Trump conservative lady called Pete progressive and moderate in the same sentence while claiming he was aspirational... My goodness. Then there is the racist black girl in the blue shirt. Jesus Christ, obvious racism yet because she's black it's acceptable. White privilege doesn't exist. A white person living in a car with a mental disability who can't get a job is not privileged. Low income whites people who are chosen second to black poor people is discrimination and it's happened to me several times. Class matters more than race. And no, black guy with white shirt, you are not nonbinary. You are a male who expresses himself in your own particular way. Your gender is not affected by this. And as for the nonbinary "girl" in the yellow, she identifies as a femm. Where does that femininity come from if not gender roles? If gender is not binary or is a social construct then how and why do you identify as feminine? What is femininity? Why can't you be a man and be feminine? How does that change your gender. BTW I don't think gender exists at all. I think you can express yourself masculine, feminine or somewhere in between (like most people) without your gender changing.

  5418. So i wrote a WHOLE LOT and for some reason it didn't send. Which infuriates me. So ill shorten it this time the best i can without muddling up the point. I dont care about these immigrants like many others do, im sorry. But my priorities are on the American citizens who are falling behind and failing. Immigrants and illegal immigrants in particular get all the attention and all the sympathy we can offer while millions of Americans dont even have healthcare coverage or the millions more who are underinsured. 40,000 or die a year from not having health insurance or being afraid it will cost too much. Around 500,000 people suffer medical bankruptcies a year. Yet illegal immigrants are given healthcare from OUR tax dollars. American citizens are fighting tooth an nail for universal healthcare and here are these non citizens benefiting from that before we do! They go to university for FREE while our youth drown in debt from trying to get an education to advance in the world and innovate. Yet we instead bring over foreigners to take these high positions, to get the glory and the accolades. We give grants to immigrants to invest in businesses so they can be shown that the "American dream" exists and is alive, then they bring over their family to reap the benefits of this alongside them. I know a Chinese family who owns a restaurant who benefits from this. Why do entrepreneurial citizens not get the same respect? Why do we not invest in our communities, more specifically our lower income communities? Invest in infrastructure, small business and worker cooperatives? We can actually learn a thing or two from these immigrants who run these businesses essentially like a business coop similar to how Joey mentioned. They assist one another and work together instead of competing against one another. We should do the same, we should be invested in the same way. No more subsidies to large companies. Instead lets help subsidize small business and local markets. What about the alarming homeless crisis in this country that is exacerbated by illegal immigrants, who interestingly enough aren't typically victims of homelessness...hmm, i wonder why? Over 560,000 homeless people survive in the US and that is a flawed conservative estimate that is based on poor data and abilities to track all the people living in the woods, in their cars (i can tell you there are so many people living in cars) and not in shelters or after a day long head count once or twice a year. Where are these homeless peoples economic opportunity huh? We care about immigrants economic opportunities and desire for a future but what about the homeless people who deserve that same right and even more so. Immigrants, especially illegal ones get priority while we ignore the hundreds of thousands of homeless people who are shamed and blamed for the situation they are in, all the while immigrants are just victims who need help and who came in or are in a bad spot. Well so are homeless people. Afraid of being arrested simply for existing. Wondering if a cop will tell them to leave where they are sleeping, be arrested for loitering or for illegally sleeping "in public". Worrying about when we will get our next meal. How they will pay for gas or how to ride the bus to get to work or to somewhere with a roof during the day, assuming they don't get told to leave. Whether on the streets or in a car they are forced to survive in the heat of summer, the cold of summer and the rain. Immigrants distract us from focusing on homelessness. They receive housing and own property while American citizens, often military vets, abused women and/or children and the disabled are forced to live on their own in the elements without a bed to sleep at night. It sickens me. Homelessness is almost never in the news and when it is it is only for literally five minutes and then we go back to bitching about a dumb tweet or about immigrants and their rights being violated. What about the rights of failing Americans? Why don't they get the attention? Why arent their needs payed attention to? Why does no one care about my needs, my mothers needs or the thousand of other victims in a similar situation desperate and alone, much like these immigrants, who seek a roof over their head and the opportunity to start a better life? Immigrants whether intentionally or not (and i dont believe it is intentional) make matters worse. We deport too few and don't turn away enough. We have our asylum laws being exploited. People skip the line and refuse to show up at hearings. They run around the country undocumented to do whatever they like. They demand to be let it. But we cant let every person or family who shows up to the border to be let in. "Ok im here, let me in" is not a reasonable policy. We use xenophobia and racism as excuses not to look at the applications towards stricter border security and immigration control. Its all to shame people who have a different opinion other than the one liberals and libertarians use to appeal to sympathetic bleeding hearts and big corporations who exploit them. If a business hires an illegal immigrant they should be fined. They should be required to inform the government when one applies. We champion illegal crossing and allow them to get off scott free, with no repercussions for violating the law and the legal process. No respect for us or other immigrants coming in the right way so why should they get the same respect? They should pay fines for illegally staying here. The longer they stayed illegally, the larger the fine. If they have been here more than 3 years and haven't committed a crime like fraud (which is hard to believe) or a violent act then they can get a path to become a permanent resident, but not a citizen. They lost that privilege when they arrived here illegally to leech off the system whose benefits should go to the American people. I care about low income people who are disproportionately affected by mass immigration and illegal immigration. About the workers impacted and the wages. I strive for Medicare for all, UBI, affordable education and other programs that support the well being of our citizens but illegal immigrants threaten that. Poor communities, black communities and even immigrant communities are negatively impacted by mass and illegal immigration. A form of gentrification called immigentrification occurs and pushes the people out of their own communities, displacing many. They contribute to rising housing costs and low wages and hurt those who are already most vulnerable. The immigration issue is a distraction from the real problems and the elite members of society know this. Republicans use this to their advantage to halt progress. Democrats use this to shame Republicans for these problems even though Republicans didnt cause them, they are just banking off them. I am against mass immigration, i am against outsourcing, i am against corporations from exploiting this opportunity and the people. I am for the American people. I fight low income housing, community homes and public housing. I am for investing in our infrastructure, especially in our most forgotten and left behind communities. I am for supporting small business, worker cooperatives and local markets. I support a universal basic income and a Green New Deal that tackles the issue of the massive corporations contributing the most to negatively affecting our environment instead of being told to recycle or use paper straws... Although im a Lefty, i do not support what is essentially open border policy. Immigrants are more of a burden than a benefit nowadays. Look at Europe as an example. Look at our own country. We claim we were founded as a nation of immigrants, duh, every country basically is. But those immigrants, also known as colonizers are routinely shit on for coming here are wreaking havoc. Our ancestors came here illegally by the way... and we shame them for that but also use that as an excuse for their own agenda to defend these modern immigrants. We cant take all these people in. We have 12 million already here illegally and even though we cant possibly deport all of them we have to do something. Until we solve our problems, immigration is going to have to wait. The border and the immigrants attempting to come here are going to have to wait. Just like how my mom is waiting for healthcare to deal with her diabetes and arthritis. Or how im waiting for roof over my head and kitchen to cook my own food and make my own recipes to sell to the community and contribute to the economy. I want my economic opportunity. And until me and other Americans like me get the assistance WE NEED im sorry but my sympathy for these immigrants will be limited.

  5493. Im torn on immigration, i really am. But i don't necessarily support a wall though i certainly support stronger border security and turning more people away as well as deporting those who don't came in the wrong way. Lets not reward people for cheating. Lets plce heavy fines on rich corporations and business owners (like Trump) for hiring illegal immigrants. Lets make it to where its nearly impossible for illegal immigrants to make it in this country because its really easy for them compared to even low income Americans, if it wasn't so easy they wouldn't keep entering illegally. But As for the "groupy" situation, those women purposely put themselves in that situation, just like all the women who had sex with Harvey Weinstein to get a leg up in Hollywood or to say. "holy shit i just had sex with a famous person", he was so bold and creepy because women regularly allowed that behavior and showed him that that behavior was acceptable. Being a random women in the street or in the club is not at fault if she is raped by grinding on a guy and toughing him certainly is, giving hints and eliciting that response through other various means are though. They invite it and find it funny. I saw it in clubs all the time when i was a doorman. Oh my gosh, "Bernie Sanders is a millionaire" is such a dumb fucking argument. He wasn't a millionaire til he wrote his book. And what do you mean he has never worked a job? The fuck nonsense is that? Are saying being a politician isn't a job? And he worked when he was younger before being a politician... Not only that but he doesn't have 3 houses. He has a house in Vermont and a condo in DC due to his work. His wife owns the Maine house which she inherited. And so what if he's a millionaire? If his policies help relieve the debt and healthcare costs on millions then i dont give a fuck whats in his bank account. His whole ideology is that he wants people to have the time and money to write their own books and make money doing what they love... being a millionaire isnt that rich either btw. Trump is a fucking BILLIONAIRE! For what? Did he work? No. He lost money time and time again and got bailed out. Also that loan of a million dollars, yeah, why dont we do a similar thing like that for all Americans, like a certain Freedom Dividend of sort? HMM? "Patriarchal hetero-normative world"??? Shut up you SJW loser you are just as whiny and annoying at Trumpists. Straight white male here. Im homeless and have lived in my car for years. I get discriminated against ALL THE TIME even before i became homeless because i am autistic and have tourettes. If anything, this country has become so lenient to members of the queer community that being straight has made you marginalized of sorts. But this is irrelevant because class matters far more than race but im a "dumb brocialist who turns a blind eye to racism" aren't i? But i guess we agree that the binary of political factions is definitely harmful. I hate the black and white spectrum of politics. Even the Nolan chart is greatly flawed. Im a market socialist, but i dont see too many people talking about market socialism. Where is my representation? But my god is this black/Hispanic (?) woman a bitch, my goodness. So entitled yet she speaks of oppression. How do you experience racism getting dressed? Is there a 2 way mirror where KKK members in their robes cry because you are putting on clothes?? Im confused. And do you no go into stores that are typically in your race dominant community? because odds are you live in one. You could argue that itself is a form of racism due to ghettos. But then we have to look at the complexity of why those exist. But no, not every little thing you do is chastised nor do people give a flying fuck about you, an insignificant person does.No one cares what I do and no one cares what you do. If anything, me being homeless gives me more unwanted attention than YOU. Do you know what its like to be homeless? Because that there is true oppression. And the only reason im able to type this is because i am in a public library to escape the smoldering heat outside sense i have no shelter. Tell me about oppression when you cant afford to live anywhere and wonder when your next shower or real meal will be. Until then, do me a favor and shut up. And btw, if she ever spoke to me like she spoke to that idiot in the black shirt, we'd have serious problems. Talk to me like that, i fucking dare you entitled bitch. She pissed me off the entire video. Donald Trump's prison reform is one of the ONLY things he has done that is somewhat positive. Not everything he does is horrible but nothing he does is great. But we still incarcerate more people than any other country. What the hell is LatinX, i asked my 2 hispanic friends, (one is from Puerto Rico the other is from Mexico) and they have never even heard of it. But if you face "colorism" from your own people then how is that something white people caused? Its racism from people who aren't white. HOW SURPRISING!? Too white? Not Latin enough. Figures.

  5563. Ironically those on the Left hate woke capitalism too because its all symbolism and theater. These corporations wont likely give better benefits, higher wages, have their employees gain through a company stake, provide better workplace standards etc. And god forbid the workers want some workplace democracy, that's socialism so we cant have it. These capitalist goons will gladly shift and embrace cultural norms because their environment wont change, they will still have yachts, mansions, days free to golf and party, etc. Its liberal progressives and fake populist leftists who are woke and support what's called "rainbow capitalism", not classical leftists who focus on class solidarity, struggle and dialectics. One side wants to diversify the ruling class, the other wants to abolish (or at least minimize) class stratification entirely. Two completely different modes of thinking. Sadly, the performative and aesthetic viewpoint of political correctness and wokeism has surpassed traditional leftist thought and theory because old school anything is considered "outdated". However, new does not mean best. And sadly, their emphasis on new group identity politics in the form of intersectionality has divided the proletariat rather than unified them and not only that but it has led to a further resistance to class consciousness not only from the conservative rust belt and bible belt Americans but also the very progressive humanist champions they aspire to bring into the movement. "Religion is the opium of the masses" as Marx said, and i think it would be a shame that yet again his name and vision are being used to push things he himself would likely be opposed to considering he was a strict materialist who believed science and objective reality explained or could explain everything and that ideas were products of our material condition not the other way around. The post modern fools are not Marxists since they often refer to class struggle and the need for solidarity and fraternity among the working people as "class reductionst" meaning they dont want to hear how genuine Marxist theory doesn't align with their own. Anyway, thanks for reading ladies and gents. As always; your favorite rebellious Marxist, Rex.

  5705. Its interesting, because I became a "Far Right" guy for about 2 years (I was a free market shipper so I already had right wing views) mostly because I was and still am strongly anti-SJW. I saw that the majority if people combatting SJWs were right wingers. So I got pulled into their scheme of exploiting angry white men who feel ignored. As an angry white guy I had some agreements and still do. But ultimately, I never supported the privatization of healthcare, education and other services like libertarians do because I have always been wary of corporations. But I still have not budges on my more strict immigration policies. I am a socialist now, have been for awhile but I still do not support the immigration beliefs championed by the progressive members of the Democratic party. Its really the only thing that I have kept from the right. However I don't believe immigration is a left/right issue because libertarians love open borders. And there are socialists who seek to protect and preserve the communities they reside in and work in. I like you Kyle because you are also known to eschew identity politics and hate that style of thinking. Amazing Atheist is another. I had to stop watching Sam Seder though cause that guy can be a real SJW. He's like Mao, "30% wrong, 70% right." Oh I almost forgot... I that it was interesting that you used the example of Norwegian immigrants because I use that example often. My issue is not with the immigrants themselves necessarily but immigration. I don't care if the immigrant is from France, Norway, Honduras, whther they are rich or poor. It is something that is focused on way more than the problems facing the American people. Me and people like me who have less than even these immigrants do (the poor ones) should be priority. Not strangers who demand entry. If it's a rich immigrant they are taking land and resources from the people of this country. Likely bringing over their own people instead of hiring citizens. Citizens who should be capable of investing in themselves and bit working for some rich guy who isn't even from here. We have enough problems as it is with domestic corporations like Amazon employing too may people of the for less than appropriate wages. Self management is something we should encourage and invest in. No more subsidizing corporations and rich immigrants who hope to open their business here. It's what I hate about conservatives. They are fine with open borders when it comes to capitalism and big businesses but not people. It's hypocritical. Also why is it that so many people come here illegally? If it was really so bad they wouldn't continue to do it. Businesses who hire them should be fined.

  5800. Are they concentration camps though? I saw the pictures. I saw the pictures SHE used. Im not sold on that. And im not sold on the idea that democrats and liberals have the right answer to this crisis. We need STRICTER border control not more open borders. We can't bring all these people here. These people came here in mass droves. There are too many immigrants to be detained. Then alot of them just get let go and they rarely check in to hearings. This isn't racism, this isn't xenophobia... we have to hold people while they are waiting to be processed. Many wrongfully claim asylum. They use children as an example to get a pass. They complain about being separated from their "kids" when often times there is no way to verify if those kids are in fact theirs. Why would a child be kept in the custody of adults who may not be their family and who will be will other adults? When people commit a crime they get separated from their kids... these immigrants are no different. Are there problems at the border? Hell yes. And it needs to be fixed. But was it AOC's solution? What is it? Make them all citizens??? Im sorry but that is absolutely retarded and it teaches people that all you have to do is show up and congrats, you're a citizen. It teaches illegal aliens that it's okay to come here illegally. These are emotional attacks that are used to discredit the seriousness at the border. It's not completely the border patrols fault that all of these people are showing up. And why are they showing up now? Why do they think they deserve to just naturally get accepted in. That's not a good policy. You dont get to say "alright im here, oh and i have kids let me in". Thats bullshit. You dont see too many illegal immigrants who are homeless do ya? Hmmm, i wonder why. We care more about these immigrants WHO CHOSE t come here more than the homeless population (of which i am part of) of this country. We get shamed and we get no attention. But it is DEMANDED that I feel sympathy for these immigrants and that if i don't im a monster. Well im sorry, but i dont care. I care about myself and other homeless citizens are being placed to the side while all these immigrants get priority and all the sympathy and attention from the media and from progressives. Im sick of it. I absolutely sick of it. Im tired of hearing about these people and their hardships while acting like homeless Americans don't exist. These immigrants are partly contributing to the homeless population in LA btw. They go to big cities and push people out. These immigrants as well as large corporations and corrupt officials are the problem.We can't let all these random people in. And its difficult to process them because there are so fucking many. It is a crisis. And i wish it would end. I also wish half of them would go home. They don't need to come here. We have our own problems. And you dont deserve to have healthcare paid by our tax dollars when even WE don't get that. It's horrible and i hate it. Everyone virtue signals these people. They put themselves in this situation. I dont feel bad for them, not like alot of people do anyway. At least they get shelter. I dont.

  6161. David, get ready to get crushed because you're being an idiot and the reason I'm so mad at you is because I like to you. So when you make these ridiculous points I get really frustrated. AOC is not being "pragmatic" as you called it. She is being naive and foolish. She is not pushing for the agenda you and l largely support. Instead she is pushing for an anti- Republican strategy. That is something we on the left have been complaining about for years now. The DNC cares more about being anti Trump and not being Republican than it does actually fighting for the American individual. She is not changing the game she is expanding it by supporting centrist blue bloods with ideas that got us here in the first place instead of ACTUALLY changing the system by campaigning for progressive upstarts. We supported her because she was an outsider, someone uncorrupted by the establishment. A year and a half later she becomes the establishment, fires her staff and replaced them with the establishment and then backs incumbents or neglects to support incoming progressive candidates to change the seats in power which help maintain the establishment. There is no working within the establishment David. I thought that too. I said, of you can't beat them, join them. Try your best to change things from the inside. But then I realized that this powerhouse of a party will never concede. They will pretend to support policies that become popular but then turn around and say rhe opposite and aggressively push for the people who actively state that they would not pass a M4ALL bill. That is why we are angry. We are not betraying AOC. She betrayed us. She has forgotten who got her in there to begin with. She beat the odds and made the establishment scared. I hate to break it to you but when those in power are no longer scared it's because they know they have nothing to worry about. Think about that. And then change your opinion. Also, the vast majority of people voting don't even know who Bernie's advisors are... And like you accurately states about a year ago, the American people are stupid.

  6391. Why would drug use lower if its legal and easily accessible? I never understood that. And the Portugal issue is very controversial and uncertain with their results. Weed and certain psychedelics should be legal, laws should go towards small business and cooperatives (like Krystal said), large businesses producing weed and selling it are actually causing bigger problems then when street dealers were because street dealers dont have the ability to put a bunch of chemicals in it. They don't have state of the art technology. Many pot uses were afraid of it being legal and merely wanted it decriminalized so big money didn't hurt their business or hurt their customers. I understand their point, though i still think weed should be legal across the board in every state to avoid state by state inconsistencies. As for harder drugs, those should most definitely remain illegal. I made a video about it on my YouTube channel in fact. If we legalize these harder substances more will have access and more will do it. It'll be essentially saying, "hey, try these for yourself now", they're legal. And look at cigarettes and vapes, alot of the population wants those banned or more strictly capped. Its for a reason. Cigarettes SHOULD be illegal. Alcohol shouldn't but look at how much is affects society. You wanna make that problem even worse by introducing other drugs into the picture?? Now way. There need to be rehab centers, sure. But many people dont wanna stop and dont feel they need to. They want to continue doing these substances, and can continue to since it would be legal. But it shouldnt be. And those losers who decide to throw their life away and do heroin or crack or whatever should go to jail, they are not productive members of society and pose a risk. They do more than harm themselves and the black market would still exist. Just like the black market with guns and alcohol still exists. So what? Hard drugs should remain illegal and the cartels will exist regardless. heres my video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CdYDqo_jvU&t=1091s

  6736. Fuck paper straws. Lightbulb advancement is great though, saves energy and money. But fuck corporations trying to force me, the consumer, tonuse your stupid, inefficient, unhelpful and decrepit sack of shit for a straw. I refuse to eat anywhere that has them, which luckily is very few places. And fuck people who say that planes are gonna be outlawed... No, the energy they use will be altered. People still need to fly to get across the planet. And if anyone actually is suggesting that ait travel go away then that person needs to be considered unfit to hold office. And no, I won't stop eating meat and no i won't be shamed by dumb liberals for enjoying meat. Meat isn't the issue, it's what we feed the cattle and how we handle our agriculture that's the problem, not the animals themselves. Local farms and natural fed cattle largely solves this issue. And I've been saying for years that private companies caught hiring illegal immigrants should face penalties. First one is a fine, second one is a bigger fine and a third time is the revoking of their business practice, effectively shutting them out of their own corporation. As for the illegal immigrants afraid to say anything, they should be afraid. They should not fucking be here. They are not the victims. They forced themselves into this country without going through the proper channels. I have no sympathy for them. If you are illegal you need to leave or, prove how long you've been here and you can be given permanent residency. But full citizenship? Fuck no . I do not support encouraging people to come here and come to the conclusion that it's okay if they enter illegaly because the Democrats will love me and take me in anyway because they know I'll vote for them.

  6788. A good job... because cooking for others and cleaning their houses is a good job. Right. Good education for our kids... one that is so broken I had to teach my government and economics class basically after a several day meeting with my teacher on political philosophy... not to mention that many cant access a good education or its wasted because they cant get a job afterwards, or live in a good place because they have such a high debt to pay back. Good healthcare... you mean subpar healthcare that few have access to. And then greedy capitalists who think they know the economics try to explain why it isnt feasible and its going to neglect patients... because reasons... An afforadle place to live? Unless you live in the middle of nowhere, everything is expensive. A small one bedroom apartment in Charleston SC is at minimum, 750$. And you have to make twice that much to ensure you can continue making payments. American doesnt have good education, good healthcare and good affordable housing. There is so little affordable housing that there is a waiting list to get on the waiting list for assisted living and HUD. And both of those lists are years long. As for the people in hijabs and burkas... its the American people like me who are afraid of them. And as or the Yamaka, no person is afraid of a Jew. Except nazis. And the immigrant thing... we dont have room for them. Sorry. We cant house and assist our own people properly, im not going to prioritize some random immigrant instead of the people already here who are suffering. Immigration is distracting us from the real problem. Until we fix our own problems, i think immigration should be put to the side, then we can start being more lenient and accommodating. But now is not the time.

  6790. What am i always saying? The increase of market skeptical republicans and paternalistic conservatives can join a working class coalition. Sure, socially and culturally there are differences but that isn't nearly as important. We can argue the cultural stuff later after ensuring every citizen their basic needs such as food, housing, work, quality education and healthcare. We can also argue whether all these people actually know what socialism is but what we cant deny is that free market, lassiez faire economics is not workable. Material conditions matter more than anything, not to say culture doesn't matter, it certainly does, but it matters less since the economic base influences the superstructure. As someone who leans conservative on social issues i hate that progressives have gone so far off the deep end that even being a moderate conservative makes you a bigot. We should have a multi party system but the two main parties should be a progressive socialist party and working families party. The former focusing on progressive social policies and the latter on conservative ones. With everyone largely agreeing on the economic front, the individual states and counties and focus on culture later. Cali can be as progressive as they want and Texas can be a conservative. Let Americans choose whether they want to live in a progressive or conservative locality, and in order for them to choose, everyone must have their basic needs met first. Class consciousness matters more than racial consciousness.

  7039. But good guys with guns are not merely the cops. It's citizens wanting to protect themselves and their families. If good guys with guns, aka parents wanting to run inside and save their children, had guns and were allowed to enter rather than her tackled by cops, then maybe it wouldn't have been so bad. Everyone should go through basic training to purchase a firearm. Just like if you don't pass your driver's test you don't get a license. You pass firearm training and get a card with your name, the guns you own and your certification of completion in training. It has your personal information and is ran through the computer everytime you purchase ammo or a gun. Im opposed to res flag flaws btw. They could easily say, "oh this guy is a radical who believes in revolution and abolishing Capitalism, no gun for him" or they could say "oh you're a conservative bigot who doesn't trust hollywood, University or BLM, let's take his guns". No. No. No. Preventing the wrong people from getting guns, aka abusers or children, animals and spouses, should be barred. People with violence in their history, barred. We can cut back on the circulation of guns in this country too. Limit where they can be sold legally. But knocking on the door of a person, a citizen of this country and demanding they fork over their firearm because of a possibly offensive tweet? No. Unacceptable. If there isn't a reciet of them specifically calling out a person and describing what they will do with what weapons, then or should not be illegal.

  7058. When it comes to a middle ground I believe that "middle" ground in when we agree that victims of rape and incest should be allowed to receive an abortion. Now I believe this is problematic because there are so many other reasons someone might not be ready to have a kid. To which a dumb right wingers would say, "then you should have worn a condom!" Live with your mistake. To which someone might respond, "we did use a condom but condoms break and we aren't always aware of it". To which the right wingers would say, "then you should not have sex!" Ultimately proving they actually don't care about the facts but merely a principal they hold dear. Now there isn't necessarily anything wrong with this. I don't support casual sex either. Infact I'm hotly against it but people will do it and its not smart to prevent a woman who is not in a committed relationship to raise a child on her own. Both for financial reasons but also raising a child as a single parent is very likely to prove damaging to children. But we never talk about monogamous couples who aren't ready to have a kid but have sex. The conservatives would say wait til marriage but then would also shame the married couple for wanting to get an abortion even though neither are ready to be parents for whatever reason. Also we should not teach people that contraceptives, condoms and birth control are excuses to be promiscuous. Some people will be, and they have their role to play in society, such as porn and prostitution but that should be a minority of people, especially women since they have far more value. Men should not be whores either. It's harmful to themselves and to women. We should respect ourselves and each other. Casual sex is an insult to that. But it does have it's role. Restraint is necessary if we want an orderly, free society where things work out to our best interest most often. Promiscuity threatens this.

  7151. Matt. We don't live in homesteads anymore. We have wifi and internet now. We have cellular devices. That didn't exist in 1785. We live in the modern era with new technologies that make leaving one building for another building to sit in and work, obsolete. You do not have the right to say what work should or should not be done at a physical job location. The only thing that determines this is necessity. Is it necessary for a person to physically go to work at a facility to produce goods and package them on a line? Yes? Ok then. They have to physically leave their home and go to the facility. It is necessary for someone to drive all the way to work to do something they could just as easily do at home? No? Ok then. Also, your argument about "entitlement" is fallacious. Child labor laws didn't exist then all of a sudden they did. How dare those parents feel entitled enough to keep their kids from working! It's the same argument that boomers give when they say, "back in my day". Well guess what gramps, this isn't your day. Boomer: back in my day we had to walk to school in the snow, rain or beating sun. Silent gen: back in my day public schools were few and far in between! 1700s man: well back in my day we didn't even have public schools! Medieval man: backth henst in thigh days of life, thine peasentry hath been sent to the farms or the battlefields to resist hunger! Caveman: makes oonga boonga sounds complaining that language and society, therefore school and work, wasn't even possible Also, your job is literally to sit in front of a green screen and complain all day. I like that you can do this BTW, but don't you dare complain when others can and wish to do the same thing for their job.

  7360. Everyone involved in this is absolutely wrong. I mean everyone. New York Post guy is in the wrong for doxxing her, people defending her are wrong for telling me and others not to shame people when they are literally shaming people (including you Hasan) and she's in the wrong for turning to sex work and objectifying herself while claiming she's did nothing wrong yet specifically didn't want her employer or parents to know what she did... Almost as if she knows this is wrong and shameful. And she appears to spend money more than she should which is why she needs so much money. For the record, I'm in support of legalizing sex work. Being a disgusting human doesn't naturally make you illegal. But socially we should not accept or encourage it. We do not need to "destigmatize" sex work we should continue to look down upon people who do this. Sex work is not work. You sit there and spread or you stand there in racy clothes with a camera. That's not work that not hard. Hasan literally just destroyed feminists and shamed them yet it's not okay to shame people for engaging in sex work. Im not saying we should not shame people I'm saying we should when they do something shameful. The reason we hate the sex workers is because it's not done out of respect it's down out of lustful temptations. No one respects these women or these men because they don't respect themselves either. The other people in the wrong is the healthcare industry forcing people to find income elsewhere and forcing sick people to pay out of pocket.

  7396. I know everyone to the right of me is gonna get triggered but here me out... Gavin is an asshole, that's his schtick. He's supposed to be. I have no issue with that, but some of the things he says I genuinely cant tell if they are what he actually believes. My issue is with the Proud Boys themselves who beat people up just as much if not more than Antifa. They talk about how manly they are but then are proud when they beat up (often in a pack) these skinny, women looking protesters. Many of the members have genuinely been linked to racists and white hate groups, and many have been recorded (their own recording) saying truly atrocious things. The Proud Boys aren't a fraternity group anymore, they are a violent gang. As for the bad members of Proud Boys and how when you have a big group, you will have idiots, you have to apply that to Antifa as well. You talk about how the left used to be a bunch of hippies and got mauled by police. Yes, then punk rock took off and they became "pissed off hippies" who fought actual neo Nazis and other similar groups in the 80s and 90s. They became Antifa as we know them today. And it worked, the neo nazi movement got kicked back underground. Punks are supposed to be "violent", they fight back. And I've seen many videos that are supposed to make Antifa look like the bad side and i leave thinkin, "Antifa really weren't the bad guys here". Then I have also seen people who identify under the Antifa moniker who do dumb shit. Its to be expected. They are so wrapped up in fighting the enemy that they create their own, sometimes ones that shouldn't be. As for the trans thing, that's what we are seeing now. More and more kids identifying as trans or non binary because it's glorified in the media. It's horrible. These kids should just embrace their individuality and not focus so much on changing themselves to feel better about themselves. Often with no success. I don't think (in fact I know) Gavin should not have been banned from social media, but he did advocate violence. There is no getting around that.

  7399.  @user-tr9rw7ne8x  relationships do require commitment and work, something which cannot be prioritized if we also prioritize the freedom of the individual. Relationships don't free the individual, they make like better and more functional for the pair and their offspring. The reason the individual is not as important as the family is because the individual doesn't exist at all without them. "society is not made up of individuals but the interrelations between them"- Karl Marx. Individuals obviously need to have their own individual identities but it's in connection to and in relation with their gender, their family, their work etc. Gender roles are biologically influenced. Sure, some are pointless, some are socially constructed (which isn't inherently bad btw, we need social constructs for society to exist) but the majority if not so social constructs are at least somewhat rooted in biological science and evolutionary psychology. Relationships can only be realistically between a man and a woman because they can have kids and the point of a relationship is to bear children and raise them. And I already explained why getting rid of gender roles hurts the family. It takes women out of the home, has them put off or completely forego having kids. It lowered wages for everyone because now the other 50% of the population was seeking work along with the other half. It makes men unattractive to women because they aren't economically viable partners, and the fact that women are attracted to masculinity. Men aren't attracted to masculine women either. We aren't supposed to compete for the same role. We have our own we are meant to fill. Does everyone fall into it? No. But the exception does not make the rule. And there are several varying roles men and women and fulfill. Not all men are the same. But we all have common values and there are universal expectations that we all should live up to. If you dont want to meet those expectations, sell your house, your car and any other modern technology that comes from society, move into the forest and live like a primitivist. Cause that's the only place where you won't have to worry about society placing expectations on you. Of course, the only reason we are questioning gender roles at all are because our society is so advanced and our lives so easy, that gender roles aren't as relevant as they once were when life was more difficult and we had to fit traditional roles or else perish. People can have individual identities, but they should not put them before the family or community. And no, I'm objectively correct about monogamy being the most efficient and healthy form of relationship and has been practice worldwide for millennia. There's a reason homosexuality has not. And there is a reason men and women fit into particular roles no matter the civilization. They were even called hunter-gatherer societies for a reason. Men hunted, women gathered. Why? Because men and women are different, evolved to have different skills and traits. Gender is not real. Sex is. That's what matters. What you identify as means squat.

  7400.  @user-tr9rw7ne8x  you need to look at this as a collaborative effort. There is no I in team. The individual only exists because of the family. Community only exists because of families. A community is literally a bunch of families who's children have married to strengthen regional bonds and ensure that groups of people look out for another. The sole purpose of marriage is to have kids. That's not a debate. Throughout history, if a woman could not produce children hs could divorce her or bring in another woman into the relationship, who would typically work for the wife as a servant. Not saying we should bring that system back, I'm merely acknowledging the historical practices. Social constructs are absolutely necessary. All customs, norms, traditions and expected behavior are simply constructs. You expect me to come to work everyday, sober and not allowing my private life to affect my productivity? That's a social construct. I don't want you to take my property, my wife, my home etc away from me, that's a construct. Women don't want to be harassed and expect men to engage with them in a particular way that benefits them. That's a social construct. We declare certain things to be illegal because of the harm it causes to others even if it does benefit the individual who commits it. Those are social constructs. Did you leave the house with clothes on? Congrats. Social construct. Did you get frustrated when a guy on the freeway cut you off? Probably because he was inconsiderate, aka he didn't fulfill an expected norm designed to keep people in line necessarily. It's not to preserve freedom, it's to ensure security. We don't install freedom apps on our one to protect our data and information, we install security apps. We don't have a Department of Homeland Freedom, was have a Department of Homeland security. We don't purchase Freedom Systems to catch burglars entering our home. We purchase security systems. It's not called Social Freedom Benefits it's called Social Security Benefits. Freedom is a lie. What's important is to be functional, healthy and productive. To live a life and to champion a lifestyle that prioritizes the individual over all else leads to selfishness, a lack of commitment, the refusal to accept self sacrifice, greed, jealousy and aimlessness. We need to realize that we aren't the main characters in this story. We are the extra. Life doesn't revolve around us. We revolve around it. And IT only exists because of people coming together, having kids, raising them with discipline and respect then exposing them to get world with others who they will eventually work alongside, fight beside and marry to keep civilization alive. We value friends because we value closeness and secure bonds. We value closeness and secure bonds cuz we were raised in a healthy family setting. People raised in single parent households are much less likely to have healthy relationships later in life. They are more likely to do drugs, sleep around and distrust others. Also, the reason poly relationships don't work is because people need to focus and devote as much time and attention towards one person and their children. Much like how a classroom looses it's effectiveness at teaching students when there are too many. Poly relationships are about sex, not procreating.

  7401.  @user-tr9rw7ne8x  No. Agreeing to disagree is what weak people do who cant win an argument. I didn't contradict myself and people do not marry for love. Love isn't real. People who "love" one another stick together out of necessity and reliability. When the man isn't reliable enough anymore she leaves or steps out right? Its not love. People can appreciate one another and respect one another, desire the other persons company due to similar interests and values. But that is not love, its convenience. And that's ok. There is nothing wrong with that. Polygamy, is no polyamory. And those men who had kids with a woman that wasn't barren, focused all their attention on the wife and the child, not the woman they brought into the home who did not become a second wife and had no legal protections like the wife did. The second the woman had his kid, she became the property of the wife. I never said that was necessarily good and i even stated that we should leave it in the past. Not all ideas are created equal. But all ideas should be allowed to be spoken. Not necessarily practiced. Your attempted rebuking of the driving issue is actually embarrassing. Who cares why he cut you off? He did a reckless, dangerous thing that is against the socially constructed norms surrounding driving etiquette. It doesn't mean the government inherently has to enforce the cultural values of the community but it's best that the government, aka the will of the people, enforce the will that the people of that community have. Dont like it? Move to another community or attempt to convive the members of your own to change their position. Unsuccessful at altering the public's position? Too bad, so sad. Move on. Thomas Pain explained it well. The more perfect society is, the less it needs regulation from authority and government, and the more perfect society becomes is because of its ability to self regulate. But when a societies affairs have broken down to a point where men cannot be relied on to supply to civilization their talents and competencies, a stronger hand must take shape to guide chaos back into order. "When men, as well from natural instinct as from reciprocal benefits, have habituated themselves to social and civilized life, there is always enough of its principles in practice to carry them through any changes they may find necessary or convenient to make in their government. In short, man is so naturally a creature of society that it is almost impossible to put him out of it

  7415. I've done a video on this. If you would like to watch, please do. Fair warning, I disagree with legalizing drugs. https://youtu.be/6CdYDqo_jvU A few questions. 1: Why legalize all drugs but then turn around and say crystal meth and heroin shouldn't be? That's not consistent. 2: you act like these people all want to get off these substances. They don't. Most dont. They want to get high. They aren't victims. Some are, after being prescribed versions of it by doctors. But even then, they chose to go further and get more hardcore versions. With opiods the answer is not legalize all of them but make it illegal to distribute and hopefully help those that were affected. But for the people who made the choice to do other street drugs or pop pills they should be arrested. They are likely scummy people making scummy decisions and they would be better off away from society. 3: also, we agree on regulating guns and preventing the ownership of certain kinds. Call it a "war on guns". Why do we support that but not this? I agree that the way the war on drugs has been carried out has been poor. Profiting off of criminalizing people is not good. But neither are these drugs. 4: Adderall need to be kept as far away from people as possible. I should know I used to take it, I was prescribed it. It was terrible and all I hear from people who have taken it were bad things. There are jokes about Adderall that we've made about Trump. Now we want available at stores? I'm sorry but that is dumb, very very dumb. And it's hard to take you seriously. 5: making a joke about codine in NyQuil is not funny. At all. My mom has told me horror stories about it when she was younger and had to take NyQuil. She was like a zombie for a week, unhelpful to anyone or herself. If we legalized it would that mean NyQuil could once again put that as an ingredient in their product? If so, why? We here on the Left don't trust big businesses. This leads me into my next point. 6: who do you think will take over the production of these drugs? That's right. Large corporations. Big pharma. Last time I checked we on the left do nut trust these corporations. We don't trust the regulations on them. Imagine Republicans took office and deregulated this new industry in the name of "free market" principles? They would ruin your already fragile basis for legalizing these substances. 7: final point. I don't see how or why you would assume the black market would fade away. Last time I checked the black market still exists for products that are legal including meat, guns, alcohol etc. These things won't go away. They will be seen as agorist alternatives where taxes and presumed stupid or irrelevant regulations are free from interference. Many people don't believe in regulations. In fact alot of people didn't want marijuana legalized because they were afraid of the regulations and big companies taking over. If these companies do take over they will be just as untrustworthy and dangerous as the cartel munis the guns in your face. The again, the cartel existed long before the war on drugs, they merely have used it to their advantage. They will continue to intimidate businesses and people. Ask Mexico.

  7466. I agree. Phuck America. This country is crime infested, degenerate supporting, labor hating empire that sends billions of dollars overseas while it refuses to implement a universal healthcare system. We destroyed workers unions, destroyed families, destroyed our economy and destroyed culture. Our jobs are shipped out of the country, immigrant labor is shipped in, men have no hope for a brighter future, wahmen are ruining every aspect of society from relationships to education and our government has consistently bought out corporations that damage the planet and then demand we do something about our "carbon footprint". We give endless money to grifters like Elon Musk who want us all to buy his shitty electric cars that aren't as efficient, don't last as long, weighs twice the weight of a gas powered vehicles and uses dangerous minerals/metals that are extracted using slave labor in Africa... Inflation is through the roof, crime is everywhere, we lack supplies and production is purposely being cut by greedy businesses who want to artificially control consumer demand. Our schools are the joke of the entire western world, our healthcare system is used as an example by others of what NOT to do, our child mortality rate and our life expectancy is abysmal when in comparison to other developed nations and are infrastructure has been rated as a D by the global architect society for over 25 years. Not to mention we have essentially zero public transportation infrastructure. Name one good thing about America at this point? We don't have freedom of speech anymore. So what do we have that makes us so exceptional?

  7685. Here are the issues im finding here. A woman who shits on the "left" SJW crowd for censoring speech and demanding people to stop using certain speech in order to refrain from offending anyone is immediately offended by EVERYTHING and then turns around to tell someone else, a leftist, to watch their language and be more careful with her words. I mean seriously, we are all so worried about what to say and how to say it. Frightened that we may hurt someones feelings. Conservatives have been guilty of this for years and now PC liberals are just as bad. im tired of everyone acting like they need to change their speech for other people. I dont give a fuck if you dont like the way i said something. I dont like 80% of the bullshit i hear everyday but im not gonna censor them or tell them to change their speech. 1: She is massively hypocritical because of this. 2: Ilhan Omar should not apologize and shouldn't have she needed to. She made a statement that regardless of what triggered right wingers think, is true, and they blasted her for it. 3: The media knows she isn't anti-semetic and but they are offended and dumbfounded at the fact that a member of congress is speaking out about what pretty much everyone already knows but just kinda looks past because its so ingrained in our politics, and that is that foreign bodies lobby American officials. She upset the establishment because she told the truth and that pissed those people off. They melted like snowflakes and cried about how "offensive" she was being. Facts dont care about your feelings remember? I guess they didnt. 4: The mainstream media (Fake News) has gone after her as a racist anti semite because they know that if they go after her for pointing out their shady dealings with foreign countries and corporations that the public wont care and get the outrage they desire. So they flip the script and make it to where the public is tricked into thinking shes an anti-semite while in truth the Establishment is just pissy because they got called out on their shit.

  7690. •Bail bondsmen have always help abuse and oppress already oppressed people. It creates of cycle of poverty. • I've never supported private prisons even when I was more of a right wing libertarian. If the state is who prosecuted you and convicted you then it's the state who should hold you in prison. •We definitely need police officers to deescalate situations. The fact we have to talk about this is sad. They definitely need to be more educated with mental disabilities. I have experience. •making sure low income individuals get the proper legal representation is of the utmost importance. •Why ban facial recognition? I don't agree with that at all. •External investigations are essential. •Why would a prisoner need a living wage? They "live" in a jail cell. And what if they don't work? But no, the idea that someone who doesn't live anywhere and doesn't need to buy food, rent or other accessories should be paid a living wage is probably the dumbest thing I've ever heard Bernie or anyone say. My taxes are not going towards that. Fuck that shit. Yes solitary should be banned or at least there should be a maximum of how long they can be held. And just like the poll, which I responded to, the conclusion you/us came to about voting is my opinion too. •Mandatory minimum sentences affect homeless people. Especially for public intoxication or loitering. They are horrible. Three strikes laws do the same. •What you said about the media never discussing homelessness because they feel it doesn't do anything for them is exactly the point. That is why we endlessly hear about giving citizenship to immigrants. It's a political move. They want these immigrants legal so they can vote for them. Is another reason I've become so anti immigrant. They are a distraction. They get priority. They get economic opportunity and constant support while homeless citizens get nothing. •The answer to innocent people suffering from the death penalty is not banning it but restructuring who can qualify for it. If there is video evidence, physical evidence, a confession etc, that person is 100% known to be the perpetrator, like Dylan Roof, then there is no reason the death penalty should be off the table

  8086. "All races and ppl are capable of developing only when they have acquired rational institutions" ok, but i dont believe all ppls can acquire rational institutions nor are all ppls equally capable of civilized society... Socialism likewise can work, but only certain populations are capable of making it work. And the issue of uncultivated land being "vacant" until it can be improved upon finally through labor and the rational wisdom of civilized ppls is simply and unfortunately whether you or i want it to be, true. It blatantly is. It may be "rahcist" but its also accurate. Doesn't mean im defending the practice, doesn't mean im encouraging it. But it is true nonetheless. You can't reason with 'barbaric' ppls and you can't rely on them to honor deals. "Liberty" and "Order" are only for those who are capable and/or worthy of it. Are we pretending that is not the case? The "world" you're talking about that Europeans destroyed during the twentieth century was also the same one they themselves built... That can't be ignored. European countries have no duty to improve any other nation other their own, and quite frankly most of these post colonial states would not be where they are without Western influence. The nations which still have a decent relationship with their former colonial powers are the most developed countries. And even then... Look at South Africa, literally all of their farming and infrastructure came from their European colonialists. Even the former leader of the country warned that if the whyte man left South Africa they would be doomed... They didn't listen to that guy and now look whats happening.

  8155. Very interesting video. Everyone is different, and we are all individuals. I think it's bad we divide ourselves with things such as gender and race. The "black identity" which has remained in culture is harmful, encourages group association over individuality and creates an identity based off something superficial. I understand why it exists, but it no longer needs to and is hurting us more than anything. Everyone is afraid of cops. Except blue lives matter cucks who worship them. Even Ben Shapiro mentioned his concern when approaches by cops. Corporations are the real threat, they discriminate against everyone. They care only for themselves and their bank accounts. Many of these people claimed to use a difficult voice, a white voice. Are the using it for this video? Because most of them sounded "regular". Also, they must not realize that everyone acts and speaks differently in a work environment, an interview or really any situation where they feel comfortable or uncomfortable in that particular situation. I've noticed a lot of things many black people will complain about are things that everyone has to go through yet they seem unaware of this. How old is this video? Kanye hasn't posted a political tweet or anything in like 3 months ever since he realized he was being used by conservatives to further their own agenda. Why is anyone proud of something they have no control over? You're proud of your race? For what? Your heritage? For what? You contributed nothing to your ancestors accomplishments. No one is proud of or at least should be proud of their race. That's silly to me. Culture, yes. Sure. Buy your skin color? That's just silly to me. Edit: Black people didn't invent dreads. I'm tired of this. Ancient Greek and Roman warriors had dreads, the longer the dreads, the longer it showed they had survived war. Egyptian Pharaohs had dreads. Vikings had dreads. It wasn't nor ever will be, a thing created or owned by black people.

  8224.  @CrazyRightWingNut  fck man. Youtube autodeleted my response to you. I swear to God. We can't even have a conversation because of hippie cultural crap making everyone so soft and weak. Everyone, those in power love to adopt cultural norms, nowadays is so sensitive. I'll try again but I'm not typing all of it all over again. Addiction can be genetic but it isn't for every victim or perpetrator of using. And it has to start somewhere. It also has to stop somewhere. But a hedonistic lifestyle will not do that, it perpetuates it further. Capitalism should not be the hill conservatives choose to die on. The whole idolatry of wealth is sort of a cardinal sin, in case they forget. But the conservatives aren't the boogeyman. They didn't cause this. Feminists did. Like it or not. All this about equal rights and equal freedoms but equal accountability? What's that!? And you must fail to realize that your progressive mindset plays right into the hands of capital. The identity politics, the segregation, the diversity, the distraction from real issues. Why start a family when you can be a career oriented womn? Why marry someone when you can be married to the machine? That's what Capitalism wants dude. Loyalty to family gets in the way of making workers loyal to the company. And for what? How are womn more free? Now they are wage slaves like the rest of us, forced to compete against one another and against men. Rugged individualism right? They shame men who don't make as much as them and shame other wmn who don't segsualize their bodies for money as effectively. That's not progress. The impersonal relations being championed by the progressive Left is hurting us socially. Family is the bedrock of society, the pinnacle of cooperative relations. It keeps people in check so that abuse is left common. Notice how for men, having a career was always a must, never an option like it is for womn, yet those men never problems having a family and a career yet for some reason womn can't manage it the same. Huh, I wonder why?

  8508. You do make a valid point. But the wealthy are not the only ones neglecting their duty, the average person is being told to neglect their duty as well because it's seen as oppression just as much if not more then actually existing Capitalism. Socialists need to move past this "it's all about me" nonsense. It's not about you or me or any individual. It's about the movement, the people. If the people who are supposed to be revolutionaries are taught that being a quitter when you made a promise to perform and hold true, then the revolution is over before it started. You can't give up on the fight because it's not fun anymore or because it's hard, or because it's proven more stressful than anticipated. Doesn't matter. Those are excuses. Persistence, tenacity, valor, duty, courage, strength, solidarity, dependability. These traits are essential to society and especially to bettering society. Everyone is responsible for something or someone else other than themselves. Whether it's a pet, a child, a spouse, a parent, a friend, a work goal etc. That's why we need taxes, so everyone can contribute their part. That's why the rich are rich, they don't contribute their fair portion. It's why we should stop interfering in other countries, because it's not our responsibility to deal with their problems but it is our responsibility not to make those problems worse. It's American governments duty to protect it's citizens, from invasion, to sickness, to destitution. It's our responsibility as workers to fight for our rights collectively not rely on party politics. As Che Guevara said, "the goal is not the liberate the people but allow the people to liberate themselves". In order to do that you can't give up because you didn't "feel like it was fun anymore".

  8586. There is alot to break down here because while AOC is on point for most of this there are some major idiosyncrasies in her argument. It is true that the majority of the country considers themselves independent, which is not the same as centrist, which she mentioned. She also mentions how the system doesn't work for several groups of people, including workers, women, people of color and discrimination against age, though likely she is talking about younger workers not older. My mom has faced ageism for being older. My issue with her comments on who the system works for is she specifies that it doesn't work for women... says the woman of color who is a favored politician according to her base, speaking to a table of women who have been in the business for decades. Then she says it doesn't work for working people, which is true...but, working people includes women. Historically, men were the dominant sex in the workforce which means if it doesn't work for workers it doesn't work for men. No one mentions this. Instead we hear things about supposed "male privilege" a concept that is sexist, harmful and untrue. So by saying the system doesn't work for women or workers she is essentially excluding men from being mentioned and words it to where women are somehow separate from the workforce. She mentions how her opponent (Joe Crowley) was the antithesis of her and who she is. He is the establishment, an old straight white man, yet she defeated him with ease. So where is the privilege or oppression? Everyone in this country has aspects that hinder their rise. To explicitly say the system doesn't work for women is simply untrue. When it comes to workers who is more likely to suffer an at work injury or even death? Men. 95% of the time i might add. IF we are going to talk about the blights of people in this country based on race and gender then we need to talk about men's. And not talk about men and their "evil, toxic, dangerous and fragile" masculinity. Does that exist? Certainly. But is it masculinity itself? Certainly not. We don't talk about toxic women either. And when someone does, they get cancelled and attacked. I.e Meryl Streep. And if fighting for working families is your fight, then you need to stand up for the family instead of attacking it for being oppressive. Especially since the family is very important in immigrant households. We need to get black people to form families instead of so many single parents running around. We need to stop pushing white people (usually liberal) to reject the importance of the family and instead to reject open relationships which are harmful to men and women and society. Call me a class reductionist, i don't care. That's just you refusing to accept my point as being valid and accurate.

  8591. But i don't want these immigrants here either... I want to focus on the lower income people already here. The immigrants already here, legally. To deport or decide whether an undocumented individual should be qualified to stay. I focus on the economy, illegal immigrants are a distraction to the economy. Those people in the video were climbing over the wall, that's definitely illegal and should be a felony. I want universal healthcare, a universal basic income and affordable college. Illegal immigrants are going to our colleges... NO NO NO, bullshit. That's bullshit and should not be happening. They should not be allowed to purchase land or properties either, rent is fine. I dont want them to be on the street. But i dont want anyone to be on the street. I want more low income and public housing. We cant have those things with loose immigration laws. And before you attack me for being a right winger, im a fucking socialist. So no, im considered an anti american terrorist to the right. I fight for workers, the disabled, children, the lower class and eqaul access to resources for all citizens. That means undocumented residents need to fuck off. And we dont need anymore coming in. They hurt our economy and the immigrants who came here legally. Lets also make legal immigration process simpler and easier. Lets make it so illegal immigration comes with no benefits, and that legal immigration would come with benefits. If being an illegal immigrant was so hard, they wouldn't be entering illegally so much.

  8628. I'm going to try and give a nuanced, factual opinion that is going to offend everyone because the overwhelming majority of people who speak on this subject in the comments are dumb as hell. Kyle Rittenhouse, or as I call, Rottenhouse, is and was a dumb kid who willingly went into a chaotic situation and wanted to shoot protestors, this is on film him saying this. It's not up for debate. He intended to do what he did. Maybe not in the way it happened but he did desire ideally to do exactly what happened. The Judge was biased in his favor. Not up for discussion either as he made evidence against Kyle inadmissible and forced the usage of certain language to be barred. Grosskreuts or whatever his silly name is, was a foolish man who ran into a chaotic situation, blaming the first person he saw with a gun. He himself had a gun he too should not have been carrying. Both he and Kyle are guilty of illegally carrying. Not an opinion. A fact. Both should be held responsible for that. The riots were not even occuring where the shots happened. There was no riot where this action took place as it was several blocks away. Someone fired first, we don't know who. People assumed it was Kyle Rottenhouse and decided to take action on it their own hands and needed up losing their life because of it. The prosecutor was a joke who was plenty responsible for why this verdict came to be. He looked like the biggest fool of them all. Kyle should not have gotten away with this. I don't care his age. I don't care why he fired. He should not have been there. You can't control what others do. Ton can control what you do. He ran into the chaos and added to it. Simple.

  8754. I actually identify as a Marxist socialist as well without being a full blown communist. I'm a Marxist socialist because I agree with the Marxist conception of history, I agree with the criticisms of Capitalism it offers and I agree with the idea of the dictatorship of the proletariat. But I don't believe in communism, the stage that proceeds socialism. I don't agree with a moneyless, stateless, classless society. I want the factors of production (money, land, property) to be distributed and owned by the community, territory, municipal government, state government, federal government etc. I want businesses to be run either as small family businesses, as consumer owner businesses, worker cooperatives and union operated industries (syndicalism). I don't want classes to be abolished or think it's even possible to truly do so, hierarchies are essential to structure and occur naturally regardless of the social context but what I'm opposed to is obscene levels of inequality and massive disparities between people based on dysfunctional and clearly unnatural hierarchies. Thirdly, I also firmly believe in the nation state. Anything else becomes too imperialist, globalist and prone to unfair/corrupt influence and relationships to other parts of the world. That's my belief. I want workers of the world to unite but I'm strongly in favor of immigration control. Workers of the world can't unite if those workers are all immigrating to a small selection of countries. Then it becomes workers of the 6 countries left in the world unite... Also, while I disagree that gaye marriage should be illegal I don't particularly like the idea of them raising children on a large scale. Especially if it's of a different gender, two men don't know how to raise and young girl and vice versa. They simply don't. However, it's better than single motherhood because even in other animal species where there is a shortage of males, females will pair up to the raise offspring. But it is technically different because two males never engage in this behavior and the pair aren't copulating. As for the issue of weed, I simply don't approve of it's usage. It's smelly and bothers both me and my mother when we come across it. Also it makes people lazy, sorry, not sorry. It's decreases ambition and reaction speed. I'm definitely a social conservative but I'm also definitely a far left economic person. I do not believe Capitalism benefits conservative values. It piggybacks on culture and the arrival of the industrial era destroyed the concept and completely blurred the lines between the roles of both genders. I wish there were more conservative socialists in the US so progressive socialists could align themselves and rally in solidarity to change the economic structure that is hurting our American populace. The cultural differences can be discussed after the revolution, after the shift in power. Let those who want to be conservative be conservative and let those who want to be progressive be progressive. As long as we don't try to convert each other to our/their cultural values there should not be an issue. The more people can unify to fight back against neoliberals and libertarian principles the better. There is a rather decent sized history of religious socialist movements and they can work alongside conservative leaning socialists too, most of which are conservative not for religious reasons but scientific ones. Anyway, that was alot to write. I hope anyone who had read this far is at least willing to take my perspective seriously because I find that many people on the Left actually side with these beliefs but are terrified of being ostracized by their Leftist friends and peers. I have no friends so therefore I don't care who I am ostracized from.

  8833. But these policies make it an open border in practice. It might not officially be considered an open border but with these very lax immigration laws it would essentially create an open border. Illegally crossing the border should be a misdemeanor. If I trespass into someone's backyard or illegally enter someone's private property that is considered a misdemeanor. I'd argue that illegally crossing a nations border is even bigger of a deal than climbing someone's fence. We need to hold these people accountable. We can't just release them after a month of holding and hope they will return to their court hearing, which the overwhelmingly won't, so we have to detain them for them to await trial. And not everyone can be accepted. And not everyone can claim asylum. So many people are claiming asylum and exploiting our asylum system right now it's insulting. You don't get to skip the line and get rewarded for it. That incentivizes for illegal immigration. Businesses hiring illegal immigrants should be fined or even shut down if they are caught doing it multiple times. People who have been here for years illegally should have to pay massive fines back to the American people as well. The longer you have stayed illegally, the larger the fine. It's so easy for illegal immigrants in country. It pisses me off. As for the separation of families, if it can be verified that they are related then they need to be held together. If it cannot be verified then children should not be held at a facility with adults who we cannot confirm are their parents.

  8854. Just a few things to say, not much though. We just had many women enter the Federal level of government. This shows that it's not a systematic oppressive force against women. The more women who campaign or sign up to run the more likely one will be voted in. Not only that but she already stated herself that representation for women at the state level. This shows that it is not gender discrimination that is at play. Like she also pointed out, the majority of people in higher political power are those who have elite educational backgrounds, inherited the power via their parents and their parents affiliates or that persons income status. Most working class people will not be able to have the capital to run a strong campaign. As we know, the working class is dominated by men. So this isn't a gender issue but a class issue. Americans regardless of political leaning report being curious and interested in having more women in power. So it's not gender discrimination. We do need to establish equality of opportunity, then we can see who makes it and who doesn't. Now for something's there needs to be a more equality of outcome because just because you have opportunity doesn't guarantee anything. And I don't believe in an every man for himself, social Darwinism society. So certain things will need to be accessable to all and owned publicly or collectively. And as for the cookie analogy, it's not a good one because as she mentioned you are adding something to the cookie that the manufacturers don't necessarily want to put in, but for the sake of public opinion they are put in there. Problem is, I don't want any nuts or other ingredients in my chocolate chip cookies. It's a chocolate chip cookie, the master race of cookies. So no, I don't want any added ingredients in there. So not a good analogy because if the government is a cookie and chocolate chips are men, then and I most people won't want other ingredients (aka women) added to the cookie.

  8920. Im a democratic socialist but I lean heavily on the side of Saagar here. What are these "myths" that Krystal is talking about?? They aren't myths...we spend roughly 18 billion in healthcare already for illegal immigrants. 2.5 billion in California alone. They receive housing, often from their relatives that paid them to come here. They have children which then are citizens because they were born here and receive benefits. This is not a myth. If you claim it is you're lying. And what about removing the cap on refugees??? Half or more of these people are not refugees! They claim asylum, move into the country, never appear in court and live the rest of their days in the US. These people need to go! You're not welcome here. Should we penalize businesses who hire illegal immigrants? Absolutely! And if they are caught 3 times doing it, revoke their business license and give the company to the workers! We cannot believe in a socialist economy and then allow hundreds of thousands to enter the community illegally and benefit from those resources. Not because there isn't enough to go around but because it's immoral. Its insulting. Do walls work? OF COURSE THEY DO!!! We've done it for centuries across civilizations... But I do support a wall? Not necessarily. I think it's a waste of time. But I still believe in strict border enforcement and immigration enforcement. If you've been here Les than 3 years, bye bye. More than that and haven't committed any crimes other than fraud, refusal to attend trial and unlawful residency, then you can receive permanent residence. But citizenship?? No way. Also, the longer you've been here illegally after becoming a permanent resident the larger the fine you would have to pay to make up for your stay.

  8925. Im not at all for the hypocritic and victim casting woman that is the creator of "Blexit", Candace Owens but its not like Mario Lopez is wrong... he has an opinion of his own and others shat on him for it because it didnt fit their ridiculous narrative. 3 year olds dont k now what the hell gender. Most people advocating for gender equality dont seem to know what the hell it is and in fact have often suggested it isnt anything, merely a construct that each individual makes...thats called a personality, not a freakin gender. Children are only discussing this gender post structuralist nonsense becase it is fed to them endlessly. They only questuion their gender and get needlessly confused because we throw it onto them. They think that because they are individuals with their own unique traist and personalities that that somehow changes their gender. It doesn't. It never will. And IT IS dangerous to humor children like this. These kids still have imaginary friends and believe in Santa Claus, now you gonna give them the right to decide what gender they are? HOW? And how can they pick a gender? I thought it didnt exist. But apparently its also infinite and each individual has their own, making the argument about gender mute and pointless. Are kids choosing to be male or female (which is not possible because uh, biology) actually reinforcing the traditional gender norms of the past? All of these gender theories debunk the other. They arent in congruence. Im as Left as they come, im legitimately a socialist, as in someone who denounces the capitalist heirchal structures, so dont anyone call me a conservative bigot because you would be objectively wrong. But i refuse to acknwoledge the ludicrous idea that children can choose such an abstract idea as gender and their idenity. They are kids, they havent found an identity yet... Even if they do, wearing a wig, makeup and a dress doesnt make you a girl. Having short hair, playing sports and working out doesn't make you a boy. Unless you have an intersex condition, you are not outside the gender binary.

  9035. I hate how he shits on black people, instead of trying to change their culture and give them better opportunities so they don't have that culture anyway. Convince politicians to try and change it by strengthening the local economy and granting them better access to resources, but that goes for any community regardless of race. Male and man are the same thing. I also understand that there is such a thing as normal, but my issue is believing that abnormality is wrong. I don't agree with the transgender anti-science bullshit but i don't want them to be harassed or discriminated against. They have a psychological disorder, but that doesn't mean they are inhuman. He shouldn't be teasing her voice. Listen to his... but regardless, your voice does not change your intellect. As for Kavanaugh, i don't believe there is sufficient evidence, but i don't agree he is fit for Justice. The right says things over and over and over again too. The high rape count in colleges are not as high as it was accused of though. But that doesn't mean it doesn't happen and that it isn't a big deal. I'm a straight white man who advocates for socialism. So fucking what? Whats wrong with it? Its not Venezuela or Cuba or the USSR. The government providing a platform for everyone is not dependency, its a support system that allows people to make their own decisions and learn from them without falling into destitution. But socialism tends to be anti authoritarian so, i don't understand the idea that the government controls the economy. Women make false claims all the time and rarely get convicted. But false rape claims are not as bad as the actual rape cases. And just because the legal system proves you innocent or doesn't convict you does not mean society will not disown you. Look at Hollywood. Jesse is like a real life version of Uncle Ruckus. David asks if Jesse has any real and important topics to discuss, immediately starts talking about football players kneeling... There is nothing wrong with turning your back against the country if the country is making faulty decisions, or at the very least your perception of faulty decisions. Free speech. To be fair, Kanye wasn't saying physical slavery was a choice. He was talking about the mental enslavement. Capitalism enslaves us all though. Black people are individuals like other people, and they tend to support masculinity as a pride thing in their community and are averse to homosexuals. Lots of violence against homosexuals in the black community. Like anyone in any group, there are radical gay rights supports. The great white hope? HAHAHA. Funny, just because its a weird line. Nothing anti white about it, just a random and odd statement. The majority of illegal immigrants needs to deport them. We definitely need to work with their countries so they don't have to come here. Not that we shouldn't allow people in who seek to move here. But we cant just keep bringing in alot of people with all the problems we currently have with our own citizens. A wall is not the issue. Maybe castle turret like structures spread out across the border to keep eyes on illegal crossing. I also don't understand the hate for the separation issue. Its for the safety of the kids, we cant confirm those children are theirs and we can't put children in adult holding facilities. As for the black and slow thing and needing short answers, have you spoken to Jordan Peterson? Not that i hate JP but he can answer a question in five hours. Jobs are doing better. The jobs are shit, and the pay is shit. The national polls lied, she did not win the popular vote in Michigan (which was proven) and she most likely did it in multiple states. Im in South Carolina and when i voted i wore a "Feel the Bern" shirt, everyone including black women loved my shirt and also claimed to vote for Bernie. The thought that those 2 hours were blips and not predictive of the rest of the voting process, is ridiculous. Understanding definitions is very important in a debate. Say for instance, misrepresenting socialism. Also, fuck slut walking. Don't fuck sluts though. That's gross. We all know a slut when we see one.

  9046. The SJW community is not a sliver, or at least if we admit that it is then it's a big sliver... But I find hilarious that they can't even agree with each other on their post structuralist nonsense. Society invented gender so it's a construct, but gender doesn't actually actually exist yet it's somehow on a spectrum where people express themselves through roles and identies that are influenced by society yet somehow those roles don't exist at all anyway... None of it makes sense. No matter how long you attempt to research this idea. They can't even agree on it. BTW non binary don't exist. If they do they are admitting there is a binary and they merely aren't a part of it. This trans people are examples of reinforcing that binary by transitioning from one to the other binary. But a nother person might say it's impossible to be cisgender because how can someone identify with a gnder that was falsely given to them and that doesn't exist in the first place? How can someone be gay if they aren't actually anguy because identifying as a guy is oppressive? None of it makes sense and it easily debunks itself almost instantly. But why can't more lefties point that out and denounce these crazy SJWs without being nutty right wingers? If we call out the SJW liberals then these people won't have an excuse to no longer identify as as "liberal". That MAGA moron only identifies as a conservative now ,(because apparently all his other values change magically) because he is against identity politics and political correctness even though he is a prime example of identitarianism!

  9053. This is not as small a portion of the left as you keep claiming, David. I wish you could see that. But this girl is an SJW, that culture now has significant cultural influence in business and media. Largely because capitalism feeds off it. But it's popular enough so that capitalism knows it should feed off it. And to those who get angry or confused when someone is called an SJW with the intent of being derogatory it is not because they actually fight for social justice. They claim they do but they do not. Instead they victimize people who are not part of the problem and divide people by race and gender regardless of their intent that is what they are doing. Also I'd like to point out that she tried to use anthropology as a way to support her claim. As soon as she did her argument was immediately dead in the water. Because anthropologists don't calculate race as a factor due to the fact that they do not believe race itself is. scientific. Race is merely a skin color, a pigmentation of the skin. What matters is ethnicity because that can help determine where the person came from. Someone from Russia will have a slightly different skeleton (specifically the skull) than someone from England. Yet both are white or are considered such. In Africa the differences between people is staggering even if it's in the same country. So she clearly does not know much about anthropology. Another question, if a black female is rich and is a lawyer/politician does she not have systemic power over others? I'd argue she does, we can use Kamala Harris as a perfect example. Wheras a homeless white male (the most likely to be homeless) had nothing, no social power or influence. Class and access to resources matters much more than anything. BTW, you were unrelenting. You DESTROYED her with FACTS And LOGIC.

  9072. Steve Rogers still believes in the American Dream, its the people who have realized its just that, a dream, because you'd have to be asleep to believe in it. And most comic book writers were typically Left leaning anyway, most villains like Lex Luthor, Doctor Doom and Red Skull especially being depicted as corrupt rich people and authoritarian Right wingers. The only Left leaning villain i can think of is Magneto. The problem is, progressives are that one lie. They lie about almost everything, such as conservatives being German mustache supporters and biology not mattering. But its also a dream aka not reality for many people in this country to have that white picket fence which to them is a gate preventing them from a more secure and free life. That's not up for debate unless you disagree with the notion that outsourcing jobs is rampant, that most families cant afford to live off one income alone anymore, that most people put off family or break off from the family because of economic precarity and the stress that comes with it, or that wages have not kept up with the price of living or productivity. All of these things i just listed are not opinions or interpretations of reality, they are the reality, if you disagree with that then you're blatantly wrong. So its not that Cap stopped believing in it, its that he realized America doesn't believe in it. Instead, illegal immigrants get endless breaks and privileges citizens deserve and likely dont get or fight hard to get. Instead, tech companies censor our speech and place us in boxes, track our locations and interests. Instead, millions of people go hungry and hundreds of thousands (more now) become homeless. Instead, small businesses close and big businesses get endless assistance. Instead, corporations spend millions to prevent their workers from unionizing (something clearly and historically American) instead of providing better conditions, benefits and wages. Instead of owning our own homes we rent because we cant afford the mortgage. I don't hate America, i hate the government's refusal to help Americans and its refusal to stop taking lobbyist money which perpetuates the system that leaves millions in poverty. 40-45% of America lives on 40 thousand dollars or less, 70% lives paycheck to paycheck, the bottom 80% own 5% of the wealth. If you dont think that is unfair, dysfunctional, exploitive and needs to be fixed then you're the problem. Too many people see themselves as temporarily displaced millionaires and so they defend the very conditions keeping them from becoming freer and more secure. Jeremy is correct, the majority of people are poor in this country, many of them conservative voters, so why not change the system so it benefits the majority of people and not the small group at the top? Most people don't have the opportunities because they cannot afford them. How is fighting for that change unpatriotic?

  9158. 81% of women are single? Not sure if I believe that. If it is though, then you're unwittingly admitting that 80% of wmen are sleeping with 20% of the men. Wmen (feminists) chose to stay in the workforce and lower the value of labor. Wmen and feminists chose to destroy the family. Wmen and feminists chose to be boss babes and government wives rather than wives to actual men who they share responsibility with. Wmen divorce men the overwhelming majority of the time. Wmen choose low paying jobs, jobs that are not productive. The jobs traditionally done by men which paid well and were easily unionized were all outsourced or automated or replaced by immigrants. There aren't supposed to be a bunch of single parent households. That's supposed to be an extreme anomaly. Capitalism didn't necessarily create this problem but it did fund it and it had pushed for it. Wmens movements rode the coattails of capitalism and was equally exploited by it. The sexual revolution was the biggest mistake ever. Wmen working full time outside the house was the second largest mistake we made. After school programs are unnecessary and would not need to exist of wmen returned to the home. New York gives immigrants food, housing, education and many other accomodations such as plane and bus tickets to areas they wish to go to. Citizens pay this yet don't benefit from it at all. Capitalism is a huge disaster for family values. But so is the BS this lady is defending. Feminism is equally guilty, as is this obsession with racial equity. These woke ideologies are ironically preserving capitalism.

  9360. As for looks... Girl 1 is a 7.8 in my opinion. Why a 7.8 and not an 8? no idea. Girl 2 is an 8. why 2 points above the other girl? IDK leave me alone okay! Just the first numbers that come to my head. First impressions. Girl 3 is a 5. 6 like he said. Something about her nose i didnt like. Not hating on her, just sayin. Girl 4's jawline is too masculine for me. 3.2 but she has nice hair. Girl 5 is your typical Asian, which im not traditionally attracted to. 3.4. Girl 6 is a 5. Nothing spectacular but she aint hideous. the way she stands is odd. I dont know what that means its just something i noticed. Girl 7 has a very confrontational stance and her face screams "i don giv a fuh" so nah. 3. Girl 8 is an 8. Pretty and cute. Pretty cute. Plus i like slightly shorter girls. Girl 9 is rather pretty as well, in a different way than girl 8. I give her an 8.3. girl 10 might have short hair but her face is cute and her body isn't bad. Now onto personality. But first, why is he a misogynist for this but the girls can rate us and sure its awkward but its not considered sexist. Just another form of female "privilege" no one talks about. Before Angela sat down this dude was like, "sorry you being a present is objectifying"... oh hush dude, quit being so PC. its annoying. Angela: Not enough for me to go off of. Can't really rate her given the 12 seconds i had, give us the full 3 minutes or at least 1 minute of it, Jesus Christ. ill give her a 5. Sophia: Seems really fun. Also i liked her bubblyish personality, that attracts me. 8.8. Preeti: The name is just pretty spelled wrong. lol. i like it. She didnt have enough time shown to us to give a rating. Wtf Jubilee. Noelie: asks a weird but interesting thought provoking question, i dig it. 7. Irene: Seems down to earth and nice. Also she had alot in common with him. As for me, i also like fighting to preserve nature. So thats something we also have in common. 8. Ijeoma: No way ill ever be able to pronounce that. Then i find out she's Christian. Dealbreaker right there. I only date non-religious people. Rating...0. She is cute though. Jevari: Boring, like he said. But then again, 10 seconds only says so much. 3. Jasmine: What does going thrifting mean? 5. Nothing wrong with her she just seemed uninteresting. Christina: Not an indian name at all considering all the other names... but that's not important. Alsoyou gave her 4 seconds... wtf. Dora: THE EXPLORA! Traveling alone? So i can't be Boots? Lame. Shes from London? Interesting. 8. Again! Dont have him know who he is talking to! Dont have the order the same for both looks and personality.

  9387. As always i will have alot to say, i wish i had a desktop so i could record and make reaction videos of this but im stuck writing comments instead for now... so here we go! For starters, wasn't that girl in the yellow on the trans vs binary video? And what is christian music? There is christian metal and im sure that's much different than other christian themed music. Back to the yellow shirted girl though, to accept is not the same as to support. I accept the fact the people engage in behaviors i do not agree with but that does not mean i support it. I accept the fact that some people with sleep with others they have no real relationship with and that they feel "liberated" to act like this. I do not support that behavior and infact i often condemn it but i do accept that it is a right that people have the choice to make whether i like it or not. Just like i have chosen to be atheist which many religious people disagree with and do not support, but they must accept that i am because that is my right as an individual to choose. Do i "support" the LGBT community? No i don't. Do i support the right of the individual to make choices for themselves and more importantly live free from outside interference in their lives? Absolutely. I don't like the hypocrisy of religious people. Especially gay queer people who say we shouldn't follow the Bible because we can pick and choose what in the Bible we support... No. The Bible is The Word of God. We are not supposed to interpret it. Who arr we? Imperfect people to question and act as if we know more than God. If you reject some of the words of God then you are not Christian. You are merely picking things you happen to agree with from that book and beleif system. And no God doesn't love everyone. First, he doesn't exist. Second, he is not very good at showing that he loves us. But Christians talk about love but don't show it to their partners. That silly to me. I agree we should be careful with who we have sex with and that we should not give so many pieces of us away to those who are undeserving. But I don't believe in waiting for some arbitrary consignation that "approves" my relationship and the love I have for that person. If I love you, I'm going to show you. I will kiss you, I will hold you tight and I will eventually make love to you. God is not going to hold me back from doing that.

  9417. Im all for strict borders, I support stronger immigration and border controls. But what do military members stationed overseas have to do with that? Wtf, man... And no, illegal immigrants do not commit less crime. Those are flawed statistics that are often done by pro open border advocates such as CATO. The "humane" border policies are constantly exploited by these people. And no I don't think these "brown people" are dirty. I've seen the pictures. They look and dress nicer than me and my mom do. They often look like they are coming from an outlet mall. And are most of them criminals? No of course not but so what? That doesn't guarantee you the right to stay here let alone become a citizen. For this who have been here awhile and have not committed fraud or any violent crimes, they should be granted permanent residency. Full citizenship? Hell no. And my policy is children should be citizens od whatever country their parents are citizens of. Parents are German tourists who had a kid innthe states? Congratulations, your kid is a German citizen who happened to be born in American soil. Let me be clear, I don't give a rats ass where this immigrat is from. Norway, Mexico, Spain, Nigeria...I don't give a damn. I don't care of you're rich, poor, have skills or don't have skills. I don't care about the middle class in this situation. I ain't working for them. I'm defending the lower class, the working class. That's who I fight for. I fight for self managed and worker owned businesses. I stand up for unionization and universal healthcare. Infiggt for UBI. I do NOT fight for or illegal immigrants. I don't really care for legal one's either on a mass scale. Some rich European or Indian guy is now buying up land and starting a business in America instead of the American people being able to use that land for community purposes or having freely associating individuals opening up an enterprise there. I want Americans going to college and being hired for high level positions. I want Nobel prize winners to be hard working abd dedicated Americans with a dream and not wealthy immigrants we brought over here taking up the spot of some other smart but inder privileged kid with little chance to show his or her genius. And why are people eligible for deportation serving in our military?

  9493. "create good jobs but don't allow wmn to get back into the workforce" What does that mean? Is there something specific about wmn that they are more important? And I don't want more wmn in the workforce. We need to be incentivizing families, meaning they need to be in affordable homes that a man could sustain due to his good paying union job. Stop with the two income trap, it's not good for relationships. Men and women have different roles. It's better that way. Are there exceptions? Of course! And we shouldn't dismiss those exceptions. But they should not become nor should they be encouraged to become the rule. Men and women are not supposed to compete for the same role, we are supposed to collaborating by fulfilling our different roles to make up for where the other lacks. It's like a duet, there are parts each singer has that they aren't supposed to street interrupt the other and then there are parts of the song where both sing. Some may call me a sexist. That's your prerogative. But I tend to be a traditionalist in this case because this worked for many millennia and since straying from it we have seen no success. Except we do in certain communities like the Indian American and Asian Americans. They are the most successful in the US despite the inequality and the various barriers that make it hard to see how America could be free. My point is, focusing and forcing (which Capitalism did btw) wmn to get into the workforce have far too many social consequences. They want wmn married to the company rather then a man, depression, anxiety and loneliness are at an all time high with wmn reporting the most of it, drug addiction and self unalivement is at a horrendous peak and it's mostly men. The best economic period for the US was the 50s, where men were in unions, wmn worked part time in typically different fields and then came home full time when ready to have a kid, and housing wasn't so God damn expensive.

  9888. This idea that paying the unwilling to work is insane is what is actually insane. That part of the bill is a universal basic income program. That everyone will receive a basic amount every month. You nor anyone can or should dictate what another's lifestyle is especially if it is not affecting. We are not values solely off the labor we contribute. We are more than mindless workers. The idea that alot of people won't work at all is very little. Eventually even of not right away, most of them will decide and discover a way to earn money. For thd super small minority who never work, who cares what they do? They wont be rich and you will still have money an more money than them. You will also be receiving the same check as them only you will have more money due to the fact that you work. What constitutes work? Streaming? That is a way to earn money. and typically when we think of someone not working we think of a gamer on his couch. Those gamers have a way to earn money now. You don't get to decide a person's path in life. And those people should not die because of their choices that are not inherently harmful. I'd they choose to spend that check on drugs and die, then you can blame them for their stupidity. But the the whole point of advancing the world is so we don't have to work so hard, to benefit us and make life easier. Now when we have the possibility of doing that, you two are shitting on that idea. It doesn't make any sense. Also, that money the recieve will be spent on food, gas, accessories, pleasentries and other consumer products. So they will still contribute.

  10117.  @rrssna  so because you don't like my position I'm somehow not interested in genuine debate? Is that how it goes? "Agree with my data or else you aren't an honest interlocutor"? What a joke. All I give a crap about is functional family structures and a society that works. Social scientists already agree that non biological parents typically don't do as well nor invest as much time. Now all of a sudden because they are gay we will assume they can or will just as effectively raise children? Give ms a break. I knew a guy who was raised by two mom's. They were loving and supportive. But do you know what he needed more than anything? A father. In October 2019 he ended his own existence via overdose because he couldn't manage how to navigate life. He always blamed it on his lack of a father figure. I never believed him until that incident. I always thought two heads were better than one, and I stick by that. But the two heads can't be of the same mind. You need that male and female influence. Never before in history has there been such a thing as gay parenting. I realized after reading a meta analysis study done in 2018 that the majority of evidence provided on this subject was bunk. In 2012 there were two randomized studies done. One of them had nothing specifically to do with same sex marriage. But the results were clear, more drug use, more social problems, more relationship struggles, higher medication prescription, more likely to engage in early age segsual activity. The other study showed similar results.

  10378. Every side here is hypocritical. The Trump supporters support cops but then attack them when they decide the cops are "liberal defenders". At the same time, i dont wanna hear any left leaning person talk about how attacking a cop is abhorrent when our (im Left btw) ideology is cops are built on an oppressive system and are acting in self defense against a monopoly of violence. For gods sake, BLM fought cops and no one except conservatives were outraged by it which again shows both sides hypocrisy. The people who protest police brutality are championed as civil rights activists by the MSM. Conservative media goes after the protests and calls everyone "antifa sympathizers" and then come out in droves to protect businesses. Then they go and attack, destroy and illegally enter a restricted building. However, the Trump supporters did not set DC on fire and did not target random private businesses unrelated to this systems corruption. They targeted the Capitol, a completely justified thing to do, sadly, their reasoning for doing it was flawed and actively went against democracy. If Democrat voters had done in an alternate universe where Biden lost, the conservatives and Trump supporters would be losing their minds and not allowing for any nuance to this situation, which ironically is how every liberal and left leaning political commentator and media outlet have responded. No one here "better" or "right" more so than their opponents. Trump supporters are and always have been gullible fools. But lets not act like there isnt any blatant hypocrisy going on among liberal media.

  10550.  @Law19157  conservatives don't want to raise taxes on the poor. Fascinating. You should tell them that when they demand a flat tax to ensure "the 20% of people in this country who pay nothing in taxes pay their fair share". Republicans have absolutely caused prices to inflate. By constantly deregulating, lowering taxes on the wealthy and refusing to enforce our nations anti trust laws, as well as their obsession with privatization and intellectual property rights, they have given a free pass for mega corporations to dominate and negatively impact the market due to their everpresent share. Do i blame democrats too? Absofuqinglutely. They allowed this. They abandoned working people in favor of tech giants, coffee shops and universities. They have convinced the working class to go along with elitist liberal dogma while shaming low income workers for their conservative social opinions. That's not conductive to solidarity. The Democrats have sold us out to the war machine and Wall Street. They allow millions of immigrants to enter so they can get more votes and further increase housing costs on the market. But Republicans, for all their talk, like immigration too. Especially illegal. "Free movement of labor" right? Historically it's been the Right who supports more lenient borders. Look at good ole Ronnie Reagan. Also, that whole job growth schtick has really been debunked so many times at this point I hate that I need to bring it up. They majority of those jobs are temporary, low paying, nom unionized, with poor benefits that typically bring in workers from out of state. They put small local businesses out of business and increase the cost of living in that area.

  10555. Hold up hold up, I got some issues with this Kyle. You didn't show all the texts that this ChocolateBarti guy Tweeted. HE brought up race first. He claimed that this "gay native American martial arts woman" was a racist in a system that was regressing back to the 1940s racist politics. Which is bullshit. Securing our border and dealing with the overflow of immigrants is not racism. I am in no way defending identity politics as I fucking hate SJWs, which AOCs cof is. And these people who got mad for him "singling her out" are stupid too. The points you brought up are accurate and spot on. He was attacking her opinion but the reason was because he felt it was racist. Both parties here are retarded. The mainstream Dems are using identity politics and SJWisms to to gain votes and public opinion. And btw, if gays and women of color are doing so poorly then why are so many in power? Why can they scream racism every second of every day and get away it? They aren't oppressed. No more than other people. And as for the border facilities, it's not border controls fault. It's not like they were prepared for hundreds of thousands of immigrants. They do need more funding but they also need to reject more "refugees" because too many are here and too many are DEMANDING to be let in because "xenophobia" and "economic opportunity". Where is my economic opportunity? Cause no one care about mine. Everyone cares about these immigrants though. It pisses me off. And i don't feel represented by the progressive members of the left because I'm a straight white guy. I don't have struggles...nope. I totally don't. Ultimately, I am annoyed by both AOCs idiot chief of staff and these idiotic hypocritical Dems who use the same identity politics as the people they are crying against because how dare someone bit subscribe to their echo chamber. The Democrats and the Republicans get rid of members of their party when they disagree with the mainstream views. Social democrats are the enemy because they want the future of the democratic part to be more left. Which I fully support, I'm more left wing than even these people, I'm an actual socialist for crying out loud. But, I'm not looking forward to the lax immigration policy and the obsession with skin color and that so many in this ideology support. Even you Kyle, called AOC for claiming Pelosi attacked her for her race. It's what they do. Tis what they all do. Republicans do it to when it benefits them. I hate it. Marx would have hated it. We all know Zizek hates it.

  10646. The mainstream progressive left is not the same thing as the old school labor left. The class analysis types who focus on material conditions and the inherent contributions of Capitalism and it's alienating and exploitive aspects that are done by design, those types of lefties... They are the majority but are too afraid to push back against the mainstream ideology adopted by the neoliberal lobbyists. And there is a reason these Capitalist loving liberals don't mind capitulating to cultural issues, it's because it doesn't hurt their bottom line and doesn't threaten the structure they benefit from. Leftists, actual leftists, don't want a system with a different shade of flesh, different gender identity, etc. They don't want blak businesses or t-rans CEOs, they don't want private ownership of capital or CEOs. They don't want gaye landlords, they want to end landlordship and make property socially owned. Marx, who is not the only influence for socialists, was explicitly a materialist that rejected ideology and subjective opinion, he believed nature and science had objective attributes that determined reality. He even said, "never take a person at their word, for what is a word but a lie from someone's mouth not yet proven false?" That's not the exact quote but it's effectively what he said. Marx would not have agreed that there were infinite genders. He would say there are either two or none at all and that it doesn't matter because objective material conditions don't care about your perception of them.

  10662. Sorry Kyle, even as someone on the "far" Left I am stricter on immigration than most progressives/lefties. The only time a child should be separated is if there is no evidence linking the child to the adults it came with. Im much more worried about placing children in the confines of adults who may not even be related to them. To me that is far more unethical (putting a child's life in danger) than placing then.a facility with other children whom people refer to as "cages". They do need better holding facilities for children and I don't understand why they have aluminum blankets but I'm very upset with children being separated considering that if my mom commites thedt or trespassed on private property she'd be arrested. And therefore separated. No of course I'm adult but the Sam would be true if I was a child. Also, the difference between a civil offense and misdemeanor as an excuse to do away with the child separation clause is just legalise. They don't have to change anything to change that rule. And crossing the border should be a misdomeanor. If I or anyone illegaly enter or trespasses on property they do not belong that is a crime, a misdomeanor. If we crossed the Mexican border illegally without a passport or documentation we would arrested. Which h the way we should be they would be enforcing the law, because that just makes sense. If I entered Japan illegally I would be detained and either deported or arrested and help in their custody. Why should we be any different? Don't give me the "oh cause we're America" nonsense. And also, an illegal immigrant, I'd like to remind people of what that is. It is someone who is residing unlawfully in a certain territory. Just like if someone was residing in a house they did not own and do not have permission to be a tenent of they would be arrested. It's very simple. And in my opinion crossing a nations border is a bigger deal than hopping over a neighbors fence. And yes, illegal immigrants already get healthcare paid for by our tax dollars. They cannot be sent away. We are bound to help. But, they should not be here to begin with and should be deported or at least under review to see if they should be. we should not not encourage unlawful entry into our country which is what we already do and the policies proposed by Julain Castro, Booker and at least one other are essentially open border policies even if not in name. They would make it to where it essentially is an open border. Our asylum system is exploited everyday. Not everyone claiming to be a refugee is a refugee, I know that's a revolutionary statement but it's the truth. And my tax dollars when they hopefully go toward universal healthcare should not go towards paying for illegal immigrants. They should have to pay. Granted what they will pay eojt ve as expensive ad it is now but that's not the point. Everyday on the news it's nothing but "poor illegals we love them.so.mich, I cannot believe how horrible their conditions are". But I never once hear about people like me, living in cars and on the streets. We talk about illegal immigrants economic opportunity well where is ours?

  10688. I was actually having a debate with someone online who was complaining about how AOC was an extreme fat left communist or anarchist or whatever dumb nonsense. Anyway he said a reason why she was stupid was because she prevented 25000 middle class jobs from entering New York. To which I naturally had objections. He mentioned how polls showed that a majority supported New York accepting Amazon. Now idk who they polled but those people are idiots or at the very least severely uninformed and constitute a very good reason why democracy is not always the best thing. If they had democratically agreed to allow Amazon to set up shop in New York then they would be granting the richest business in the world not only a tax break but a subsidy to arrive. They would be giving away land that could otherwise be used for public access. They would be voluntarily allowing small businesses to go out of business and therefore lose jobs and stifle economic competition. They would make the already ballooned rent and housing prices explode. Meaning people would not be able to afford to live where they work. This is an example where a representative who was more knowledgeable (thank Christ) made the best decision for the people who were too ignorant and lacked the necessary knowledge to make an informed decision. Sometimes democracy is our greatest enemy. His argument was that if they are so ignorant it makes sense that they voted for her. To which my response was if you concede to them being ignorant as well then you are also admitting that they know nothing about how that Amazon deal would have played out and my point would be proven yet again. He mentioned how she had many unfavorable polls. But I just don't see how that can be possible when she is the most followed and well congress person in recent history. And usually videos of her on random news sites show overwhelming support for her and her policies also ate overwhelmingly popular. Except among conservatives because they hate people have homes, healthcare, higher wages and control over their labor.
