Instead of those general statements based on you prejudices,
why don't you make it concrete?
California is your most successful state, and that is not caused by failures.
They are succeeding because of liberalism, not despite of it.

Approximately 74.35% of felony charges in California result in a conviction.
The National Average is roughly 70%.

In 2024, California reported 1,666 homicides and made 1,305 homicide arrests.
This indicates a clearance rate of roughly 78%, which state analysts describe as significantly better than the national average of 61.4%.

States with the Lowest Murder "Solving" (Clearance) Rates:
- Illinois: Preliminary 2024 data reported a murder clearance rate of 35.5%. While a slight improvement from 33.5% in 2023, it remains one of the lowest in the nation.
- New Mexico: Reports indicate New Mexico has some of the lowest violent crime clearance rates in the country as of 2024/2025. In 2023, the state recorded a homicide rate of 11.5 per 100,000 residents, the highest in the U.S. at that time.
- Georgia and Mississippi: These states were also identified in 2025 analyses as having consistently low violent crime clearance rates relative to other states.

Everything you are saying is 100% based on your indoctrination.

I agree; no free rides, but clinging to what fails, just because nothing else
is perfect, is the surest path to ruin.

Yeah, flawless nukes to vaporize humanity.

Where do you think the fossil fuels come from? From the sky?
Yes, all energy technology requires natural resources, but 'black' energy turns fossil fuels into CO2, water and pollution, while metals and minerals needed to make green energy can be recycled. That is not always easy, but it already
creates much less pollution than 'black' energy ever did.
Of course, if you let green energy be exploited to just profit the wealthy, they will pollute with that too. If it makes them 1 dollar more, they will poison anyone.

"Out of sight, out of mind." OK, not for 'black' energy, because Texans are breathing toxic air, 22 million Americans are advised to not drink their tap water and another 40 million don't trust that their tap water is safe to drink, and are probably correct.

There are ways to route the salmon around hydro-electric power plants, but who are you kidding? If it wasn't for 'environmentalists' like me, your fossil fuel pollution would have killed them all already.

So, you don't worry about radiation, climate change or pollution from fossil fuels, but you did say: "There are far worse manmade things going on right now..."
Like what then? What DO you worry about?
What is it that is causing humanities demise even sooner?

At least we do have a altruistic parts in our nature, while religion is certainly bullshit. It was just a method of control, to make people resist their empathy and reason.

"With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people
can do evil; but for good people to do evil, that takes religion."

Who do you think invented socialism? This was the term for our system
for freedom, after the commoners freed themselves from the Bourgeoisie exploiting them. And yes, the freedom from religion was part of it, because people understood that religion is no more than a tool for submission.
It's not a belief in the "alleged innate altruistic nature of Man", it's a belief
in the right of Autonomy for everyone, while capitalism is a belief in the right to exploit others, which only applies to the favored few.

"Labor is going the way of the dodo" Damn, that's stupid, especially for an American. People are working multiple jobs to stay alive, in your country. Sure, they are working on AI to replace the working class, but they are not thinking of you working less AND staying alive, they are just thinking about not needing their sheeple anymore. What happens to you doesn't concern them. You either starve or go back to farming, or something. They have proposed NO solutions for you. I'm not including me, because your president is isolating you from the rest of the world. It's gonna be completely surrounded by walls, no one coming in or going out, and complete blackout, so you don't know how fucked you are.

Funny, how you are thinking that serving the selfishness of the wealthy
is modern. What do you think people have done for thousands of years? Following the High-priest, Pharaoh, Imperator, Emperor, Tsar, King, President, wealthy donors to your politicians, and soon the Trillionaire Tech-Lords. Every time the smart courageous people bleed to rid us of
our oppressors and every time cucks like you submit themselves to them again. It's so fucking tiresome.

Sure, Marx was a lazy intellectual, being kept alive by his friends. That says nothing about the validity or accuracy of his ideas. I think your perspective on human nature is a bit skewed by the culture that you are living in, which is based on our most primitive part of it; selfishness/greed.

Humanity is capable of much more decency than you are supporting, maybe not because of generosity or empathy, but maybe just for the basic selfish desire for safety, freedom to be, health, love, acceptance, belonging, friendship, comfort, creativity, fulfillment, inspiration, curiosity and rest, that we only get from living in harmony with others.

Human evolution is NOT based on conflict, but on cooperation. We have evolved in tribes, not as solitary predators. That evolution narrative is part of the capitalist propaganda they feed you 24/7.

That focus on money that the feed you is impoverishing you spiritually and mentally. They even twisted the church from the worship of a generous, humble, wise person, into a cult of selfishness and xenophobia, and mostly into a BIG BUSINESS.

If Marxism was not eliminating classes, you should be happy to have it, because your ideology splits the people into the owner class that owns and controls everything and the working class serving them. Of course, you are bullshitting, because Marx's whole idea was to eliminate that, which is the critique in his book "Das Kapital". You gotto come up with better arguments then "Nuh-uh!".

You keep referring to all those dictators who used the terms capitalism and socialism to fool the people. That was their way to steal back their power, after the French revolution showed people that they can live without elites exploiting them. It's the time when people created democracy, but the elites kept fucking with it with lies and violence. The people were stupid to believe the lies and sometimes commit violence in favor of their own exploitation, but they have ALWAYS wanted freedom. You yourself frame your support for exploitation as a message of freedom.

You keep accusing my side of politics of working towards a ruling class, but your own movement is based on exactly that, even concentrated in one leader that should be completely free from criticism. It's all based in the worship of wealthy people like gods, who need to be released from the burdens of taxes, regulations and responsibilities, so they create utopia (on Mars) and accumulate wealth that trickles down upon the peasants. They are advocating for techno-feudalism and you are saying: "Yes, yes, rule over me good lord!". Well, they will, for a while, until their mindless greed destroys the Earth's ability to support life. Then they will try to hide in their bunkers, or on their mega-yachts, or on Mars, or on some fucking space station (like in the movie Elysium), while their stupid rubes can suffer and croak, all in name of the most primitive nature of humanity, instead of the endeavor to evolve beyond it.

How could any sensible, decent, and reasonable person possibly support any of that?

I hope you see a reversal in your lifetime, because at this rate of decline, you will
find yourself in 'Russia' 3 years from now and 'North Korea' 8 years from now.
What do you think happens when they run out of 'immigrants' to deport.
They need some scapegoats for their failures...

Sure, but the sides just have a whole different level of deprecation.
Yours is primitive, vulgar and nonsense, while theirs is accurate and sophisticated.

Clinging to what fails, just because nothing else is perfect, is the surest path to ruin.

1) Some Democrats or liberals pointed out the irony of Charlie Kirk getting shot,
while he said that the first amendment is worth some people being killed.

2) Some Democrats or liberals pointed out that Trump was more concerned
with the construction of his new ballroom, when he was asked about the murder.

3) Some Democrats or liberals pointed out that his widow was not appearing
to be grieving that much, but mostly spending her time grifting off it.

4) Some Democrats or liberals pointed out that Charlie Kirk was not a honest debater,
who needs to be respected for how he engaged with the open marketplace of ideas.

No Democrat or prominent liberal made horrible comments about Charlie's MURDER.
Trump however blamed the victim for getting killed, for hating HIM.
That was not a joke, or a justifiable remark, that was Trump being a sick bastard.

I see no Democrats and liberals declaring war on you over this, like your cult did.

Being a hateful narcissist asshole is not a symptom of dementia.
Trump has been a hateful narcissist asshole all his life.
Otherwise, I completely agree with the statement.

Stop being stupid about what it means to be liberal.
The last thing that it means is being OK with murder.
Being OK with murder, that is only on your political side.
You celebrate it, justify it, or ignore it, except in some very specific cases,
when it involves some cult footsoldier, and when it helps your cult of hate.

8 of the top 10 states with the highest Murder & Manslaughter rates are RED states. California isn't even in that top 10, they are ranked 28th.

It sounded like it was mostly women laughing.
The men were probably thinking "Thanks for the info, dude."

Or desperate, which will make him try.
Who is going to stop him?

The fascists have never been so close to taking full control.
Do you think they will let elections screw up their plans?

Trump is making more money than he ever made, now he's President.
But not from any legitimate business, but from taking BRIBES.

Income based on bribes is NOT dependent on the economy.

He did not choose to help the American people, he chose to help himself.
The first time he wanted fame, the second time he needed to escape prison.

His tariffs are hurting American businesses, mostly because they make everything needed to produce stuff more expensive for the US, while the rest of the world can just keep trading among each other, without being burdened by your tariffs.
It is NOT THAT DIFFICULT. Can't YOU connect those dots?

The pathetic level of welfare you had before Trump made it worse, was already enough to stimulate everyone to work, who is able to work. Many people are already working
3 jobs, and still they are not making ends meet. Are you allowing people to LIVE a few hours per week too? People don't want to be used as slaves for the billionaires.
That is why he is hated.

What you are supporting will push people completely to the other side.
Many voted for Trump, because they couldn't afford to live.
Do you think those people agree with you? Do you think they like to be called lazy?
If you want people to revolt, cut off the heads of the elites, and take their shit,
this is how you force them. The masses on your side are dwindling and the masses who want to eat the rich are growing. Haven't you noticed?

That's capitalism. The best companies survive, the rest perish.
Could we maybe think of a system that reduces the waste and suffering?

About once a week, I think about him telling me that he chose the peace ticket.

Watching this guy calms me.

Trump didn't get that message. He thinks: "I got nothing to lose!".
He thinks: "If I break the country, so what? I cannot be re-elected."
He thinks: "But, if I break the country ENOUGH, I CAN be re-elected!"

Oh, because presidents before him never had an agenda that the voters put them in place to do? Those presidents just stupidly followed The Constitution, saying
that Congress are the representatives of the people and not the president.

OK, so he obviously created the progress that this voter is talking about?

Can you answer the question of the person commenting on it?

Which ones of his 221 executive orders are addressing her concerns?

(I found 4, FOUR!!!, that are framed to address the issue she is talking about,
but 3 are much more likely to raise the profits of the energy companies, large businesses, oil, gas, and coal companies, and their utilities, health insurance
and pharmaceutical industries, rather than helping that women, and 1 that
is directed to agencies to study or propose actions to lower prices. You know,
those agencies that Elon Musk defunded. Any results yet?
I can answer that too; no because other executive orders are negating that one.)

I don't want to hear you crying, when the next Democratic president
uses the precedent Trump created, and executive orders everything
that their voters are asking for. .. goose.. gander.. something....

True, insects are mostly dying from chemicals, designed to kill insects.

How Radiation Concentrates in the Food Chain:

1) Bioaccumulation: This occurs when an individual organism absorbs radioactive isotopes (radionuclides) from air, water, or soil faster than it can excrete them. Radionuclides often "mimic" essential nutrients; for example, Strontium-90 mimics calcium and is stored in bones, while Cesium-137 mimics potassium and builds up in muscle tissue.

2) Biomagnification: As small organisms are eaten by larger ones, the concentration of persistent radionuclides increases at each level of the food chain. Predators must consume large quantities of prey to survive, effectively "collecting" the total toxic load from hundreds or thousands of organisms lower in the chain.

3) Trophic Transfer: In aquatic environments, radionuclides are absorbed by phytoplankton and zooplankton, eventually reaching top predators like large salmon or lake trout, which may have concentrations high enough to cause deformities or death.

How This Affects People:
Humans sit at the top of many food chains and are affected primarily through the ingestion of contaminated food and water.

- Radioactive Iodine (I-131): Quickly moves from contaminated pasture to milk and, once consumed, accumulates in the thyroid gland, significantly increasing the risk of thyroid cancer, especially in children.

- Cesium-137: Distributes throughout the body's soft tissues and muscles, leading to long-term cancer risks due to its 30-year half-life.

- Strontium-90: Becomes a "bone-seeker," integrating into the skeletal structure and potentially causing bone cancer or leukemia.

This is just basic biology insight, but I indeed verified what I said.
There are generally two to three times as many wild honey bee colonies as managed ones worldwide. This is a worrying fact by itself, showing the impact
of humans on the earth. However, consider this: When combined, humans and livestock account for roughly 95–96% of all mammalian biomass on the planet.
What do you think that nature needs to survive?
Do you think humanity can survive, when nature dies?
Do you even care?

You could try to actually argue against it. Can you?

"It's up to your critical thinking skills and knowledge to know what's what."

There can be multiple sources all parroting the same lie. "Verification" is not going to help, unless you understand how to recognize facts and false arguments.

Sometimes I jack off, sometimes I have intercourse. I know the difference.
I still have some time left to inform myself about what's happening in the world.

I want to know what is real and what is false, because I make choices in life that affect me, people I care most about, and the world I one day will leave behind. I prefer to live my life among happy people who are thriving, humanity looking out for each other and people who represent me in politics solving the problems that negatively affect that. If you think that you are doing the same, then please explain your logic.

Complete bullshit. Modern socialism is all about the working class.
You are using terminology like "worshipping at the altar", to intentionally associate it with a religion. That's also bullshit, because "Modern Socialism" is based on secular humanism, the opposite of religion.

In my country, the Socialist Party was funded by hardworking people, who were the sons of a factory worker, a pipefitter, and a butcher. They all grew up solidly working class, and they all started out working in factories or as craftsmen. Some of them became full-time trade unionists, but many of the original party organizers had working class jobs to pay the bills. When their political careers started to earn money (representatives are getting paid), they donated 50-75% to their party, only keeping around median wage. When they wrote books that made money, they donated the proceeds to the party. With that money, the party supported political activism for the working class people protesting their exploitation and unsafe working conditions. An early big action was protesting against houses getting build on the highly poisoned ground of demolished factories.

My current party leader, Jimmy Dijk, grew up in a working class family. His father worked as a window cleaner. His parents had to work hard to make ends meet, which contributed to his conviction that politics should pay more attention to people with modest incomes. He did support his own education, by working in a cardboard factory.

You are correct that most of the Socialist Party organizers now have at least decent educations, but they ALL came from solidly lower working class families. I myself have a good education and come from a solidly lower working class family. My father was the main income provider, as an electrician, working for employers his whole life. People get their socialist views from seeing working class people struggle. Right-wingers are the ones who had it easy, growing up spoiled, and having an easy go at life, in at least middle income families. They PRETEND coming from poor backgrounds, PRETEND that they needed to struggle, but having made it big, because they are so smart, but most of them grew up with a silver/golden spoon in their mouths.

Look at the party that you support, and find me one politician who wasn't at least a millionaire, or had millionaire parents, before they entered politics.
Did any of them work a normal working class job? How many of them needed to pay for their own education?
Trump had everything handed to him, but he still needed to be a criminal to cover up and compensate for his constant fuck-ups. He is the absolute example of someone failing upwards.

There is the Marxian theoretical communism and there is the "communism" as it was called by Stalin, Lenin and Pol Pot, which are complete opposites when it comes to who controls politics and who controls the means of production.

Lenin was accurately explaining Marx there, with socialism being the step towards communism, in his THEORY, but the what Lenin ended up working towards was the complete opposite of what Marx intended. Instead of full human emancipation (freedom from exploitation, alienation, and scarcity),
in a classless, stateless community, that provides people each according
to their needs, Lenin turned out to be a dictator, who exploited his people, 'alienated' everyone who disagreed and stole grain from his people to feed his army.

Obviously, Lenin had an absolute authoritarian view. If you are confusing that with the Marxist ideal, you're either being ignorant or dishonest.

There’s no credible evidence that Biden authorized the use of an 'autopen' device
or that staff “used it behind his back.” It's just a stupid story started by Republicans.
You really need to learn some critical thinking skills.

The president's job is overseeing Congress making and passing laws.
These are EXECUTIVE orders, which is a power invested in the President,
only intended as a tool for the President to ensure laws are "faithfully executed".
It is up to the President to explain IF AND WHEN he uses that power.
You seem to think that EXECUTIVE orders are the standard mode of operations,
but they are NOT.

Biden issued a total of 162 executive orders. Trump issued 220 executive orders
in his first term and he has now already issued 221 in the first YEAR of his second term. Trump is far overstepping what the executive order is intended for.

You can keep making hollow accusations, but I SEE a Trump who doesn't know
what he is signing, while his administration abuses the power invested in him, because their Congress is incapable of making and passing laws, even while
they have majorities in both chambers.

How incapable is the Republican congress? Well, they first wrote and passes the “Big Beautiful Bill” that eliminated the Affordable Care Act subsidies that help lower health insurance premiums, and now they understand that it would affect 24 million Americans, of which many voted for Trump. Many of the same Republicans who voted for the BBB are now regretting how it turns out, and voting to extend it for another 3 years. They prefer it to end, just before a Democratic president enters office, so they can blame them for the increasing health insurance premiums.

It's nice that Democrats care about people having healthcare, but maybe
they had better let this one go. People need to know who screwed them,
because they unfortunately have the memory of a goldfish.

So, he blamed the victims for their murder, before anything about it was clear?
Did any prominent Democratic politician do that when Charlie Kirk was killed?

Those executive orders were implemented, right?
They need the president to sign it, to do so.
So what you are saying makes no sense. What's your argument?
He could explain them, but could not write his signature? Why?
Trump seems to think it is very 'presidential' to sign papers,
but it's the easiest part of being president. You could do it.

They don't need the president to understand it, just sign it.
Biden explained them, while Trump needed to get them explained.
That shows clearly that Biden understood what he signed and Trump doesn't.

Recently, Trump did start to explain some of them, very poorly.
He probably heard that 'autopen' argument and understood it applies to him.
It never applied to Biden though. You were doing projection, like always.
As soon as you see something you don't like from Trump, you need to
project it onto a Democrat, or your head will explode.

OMG he cannot talk, aaaahhhhrrrggg, Biden, Biden, sigh.
OMG he cannot walk, aaaahhhhrrrggg, Biden, Biden, sigh.
OMG he's fucking stupid, aaaahhhhrrrggg, Biden, Biden, sigh.
OMG he's fucking scamming me, aaaahhhhrrrggg, Biden, Biden, sigh.

It's so sad that you need to make-believe to support a side that you willingly chose
and can willingly change. Who are you fooling, besides yourself?

Mutual funds are managed by some finance company, making profits and giving you some of their profits. What is left for you all depends on how much they charge in "fees and operating expenses". It's outsourcing of the knowledge that is needed
to do investing yourself.

A bond is just a loan with an interest rate. You have a fixed interest rate, and you take the chance that it stays higher than the inflation rate. The only thing you own with bonds is someone else's debt. It's "investing", and it's better than saving money in the long run, but it doesn't require much knowledge.

Do you think Warren Buffet is "playing" the stock market?
The difference between playing and investing is knowledge and skill.
If you don't have it, you are right to never invest in stocks.
But, it's not rocket science. Many people who are successful traders are not geniuses and do not have Master of Finance degrees. It just requires some knowledge, skills, patience and discipline. They are not teaching that knowledge
in school, because your politicians don't want people to understand the economy.
It would be immunization against their lies. They're only teaching that to rich kids,
in expensive schools, so they keep their advantage over the sheeple.

I have been fooled once. I signed a contract with Annuity policy a long time ago. After about two years, I saw that the value was about 40% of my deposit, because their costs were very high. I then stopped depositing in it.
That's when I started investing in (mutual) funds and a few years later in stocks.
I never bought any bonds, mostly because my pension with my employer is around 80% bonds already.

I only sold stocks at a loss ONE time, loosing about $300, because the company went bust. I own around $20,000 in stocks right now, but that is the result of about 60 transactions over 20 years, from a total original deposit of about $7000 over that time, most of it in the last 5 years. It's a hobby, but I'm slowly expanding it, while I learn, which is what I plan to do for the rest of my life.
During and after the 2008 crisis, I could not sell my stocks for a while, because some of them had tanked before I could sell them. Instead, I bought more, which partially resulted in that $13,000 accumulation. I am now saving more than investing, building up cash, for when the next crisis hits.

If you trade stocks, no one can fool you, besides you yourself.
If you trust some finance company, you are always getting fooled.

Thanks for the book endorsement. I hope to get around to that one
at some point.

I was just watching a video about people leaving MAGA.

They are confusing the dictatorship of Russia with Marx's ideals.
You can try to correct them, but they don't want to be correct.
Understanding politics doesn't serve their ruling class.

Socialism isn't the first step to communism, that is Grog parroting
decades of indoctrination. It just summarizes what's available.

Capitalism and communism end up at the same place; wealthy and powerful people controlling everything and the people owning and controlling NOTHING. That's because power and wealth corrupt everything. It doesn't matter where you start to centralize money. If it's the government, they will accumulate money and power and strip it away from the people.
If you let private citizens take too much money and exploit everyone else, they will accumulate money, buy more and more power, strip it away from everyone else and take over the government. The result is the same.
If you then combine it with stupid cult-like followers, who are willing to fight and die for their leaders, because they will get a bit more scraps than the rest, that is very similar to the 'communism' of Russia. The best term to use for that is totalitarian state-capitalism.
With the billionaires now entering your government, when they are not satisfied with buying politicians anymore, turning a corrupt democracy in a sham-democracy, while only allowing speech that they like, ignoring the Legislative Branch and the Judicial Branch, you're heading at mach speed to the same thing: totalitarian state-capitalism. I just call it 'communism',
in the comment below, because that's how it's known by the masses.

Marxian communism (theoretical):
- Economic power: fully distributed
- Political power: fully participatory

Socialism of the Dutch Socialist party (Idealism):
- Economic power: extensive redistribution, strong public control
- Political power: high participatory input and grassroots movements

Socialism of the Dutch Socialist party (current pragmatism):
- Economic power: highly redistributive, but constrained by status quo
- Political power: supports optimizing normal parliamentary politics

Stalinist USSR / Pol Pot’s Cambodia ('communism' as the masses know it):
- Economic power: extremely concentrated
- Political power: extremely authoritarian

Putin’s leadership (Russia, 2000s–present):
- Economic power: highly concentrated (state-control and oligarchs)
- Political power: extremely authoritarian (centralized, repression)

MAGA capitalism:
- Economic power: highly concentrated (billionaires = job providers)
- Political power: strongly authoritarian (cult-leader Trump rules all)

She's cutting the training to SIX weeks. They are letting in:
- recruits that have failed drugs test and have disqualifying criminal backgrounds
- people who's doctors signed forms that they are unfit for any physical activity
- people who are failing open-book tests, because they can barely read or write
- people up to and over the of 60, while it was previously 37
They are scraping the bottom of the barrel.

From the people who get arrested nationally, only 7% has any violent criminal conviction.
In Washington and Massachusetts it's 2%. In Washington, 84% do not even have a traffic violation. People understand that this is not about fighting crime.

The cruelty was always the point and the incompetency is making the cruelty visible.
That's why only 37% of Americans agree with how Trump handles immigration.

Just another stupid lazy flip. Is that all you are capable of?
I just showed you Biden explaining it and Trump needing it being explained to him.

Sure, humanity is emitting more CO₂, CH₄ and N₂O than nature can ever absorb resulting in climate change, polluting the world and all our bodies with micro-plastics, destroying nature with Ammonia (NH₃ )/Nitrates (NO₃ )/Nitrogen oxides (NOₓ ) from livestock waste, “forever chemicals” like PCBs, DDT, Dioxins and PFAS, heavy metals from fossil fuel extraction and combustion, and CFCs/halons destroying the ozone layer (even though we mostly banned them).

Do you think an environment where the bees die, is not damaging YOUR health?

That's indeed all a more serious and more imminent problem than the current little increase in the background radiation, I agree. But it took hundreds of billions of dollars to keep it limited to a little increase in the background radiation. Those are the downsides of nuclear energy, which make it a stupid alternative for fossil fuels.
There are better alternatives, that are not linked with risks of country-disrupting costs for eons, making large areas of the earth uninhabitable and easy access to nuclear weapons or dirty bombs. Why support expensive and dangerous solutions over cheap and safe ones?

If you care about it, you are supporting the wrong party/president.
They care about wealthy people being allowed to exploit you,
at whatever cost to your livelihood, health and life period.

They show you daily how much they hate poor people with brown skin.
They hate poor people with white skin, only a little bit less.
If you think that you don't qualify as 'poor', don't worry, you will.

Wow phart, you are actually showing principles and taking the argument
to someone on your own political side. I am SO proud of you.

Why do you guys always show how dumb you are, by not understanding
the difference between communism and socialism? You are really proud
of your ignorance, aren't you?

Your orange buffoon is literally forcing big companies (like Intel) to sell off
part of their ownership to the government. If a Democrat did that, you would
be shouting "COMMUNISM!" from the rooftops. I predicted that MAGA would
go communist, you just don't understand it enough to see it happening.
You let Elon Musk, a South African immigrant (probably got his citizen status illegally, if you check it) rummage around in your government finances and your private citizen data, without any oversight or transparency.
Your VP serves a billionaire who own a mass surveillance tech company.
You're blindly supporting a future where the trillionaire techbro's join with
your (next) billionaire president and corrupt politicians, and rule over the poor masses with mass surveillance and an iron fist, just like East Germany before the fall of the iron curtain. There is no difference between the government owning the means of production, and the owners of the means of production having full control of the government. It's both COMMUNISM.

YOU are the COMMUNIST!!!


I am a SOCIALIST: I want to maximize democracy and decentralize ownership of the means of production, making everyone who participates in it benefit
from it directly, without owners exploiting the working class. I would be content with Social Democracy, but I prefer Democratic Socialism, which is the flavor
of Socialism that I like. What you call "socialism" isn't Socialism, and it is definitely not communism as it is known from history.

When phart is talking about Ukraine, that's my business more than yours.
Europe is close to war, with your former enemy. We chose your side in the
cold war, joined NATO with you, gave you control over most of the world
and it's resources, and now your hanging us out to dry, because your
fascist wannabe dictator loves every horrible dictator in the world and
hates democracies. You follow that traitor like he is Jesus.

Until your dictator bans all speech that he doesn't like, I'll be here
crapping all over your cult of hate and ignorance.

How about the internet being the open marketplace of ideas, little snowflake.

The difference between Biden and Trump, when they sign an executive order:

Trump: Someone explains the executive order to him, he goes "Oh, good idea!",
then signs it, making a big fuss about signing papers.

Biden: Explains the executive order to everyone, then signs it later.

Pretty pathetic that senile Biden knew better what he signed,
than your excuse for a president.

Investigating, like looking up information about him.
Do you have anything else than the internet?
Did you ever do business with him? I guess not.

The internet is a jungle with everything between absolute lies and accurate science. It's up to your critical thinking skills and knowledge to know what's what.
It's easy to recognize when right-wing media is lying. If they are very vague,
you can be sure that they are lying. When journalists are adding lots of details,
it makes it easy to verify those claims.

I don't like Hilary Clinton. Why bring her up? It's a 'whataboutism'. In any case, she is horrible, but not nearly as vile, evil, criminal and corrupt as Trump.

I don't care about a D or an R, because there are lots of D's that I hate.
That's the thinking of an American, who is used to only 2 parties. We have 27. That requires lots more political insight.

Trump was an asshole when he was a Democrat too. You should learn to look beyond party lines. It makes you an easy victim for scamming.

OK, he is narcissistic enough to think he needs to be president.
The problem is that you agree with him.

He didn't, and it's fucking ridiculous to think so.

He ran for president for self-aggrandizement and then found out that too many people are actually stupid enough to vote for him. He never wanted to be president, but his narcissism prevented him from quitting. Then he got hooked
on people worshiping him. It's so ridiculous that no one ever came up with a story like that, but it's real life. It's your stupidity that made it possible.

In 2024, he was forced to keep it up, to escape his own crimes.
He is now on a rampage vengeance campaign to hurt everyone who elected him.
You're just dumb enough to not understand when he tells you.

Iowa's Abortion Law Turned Against This Conservative Mother

One day, your pregnancy goes catastrophically wrong. The baby cannot live,
the doctors know it, you know it. The only question left is; DO YOU GET TO LIVE?
Suddenly, all those "pro-life" laws that you supported are the reason that the doctors
are too afraid to save your life.

The problem with Chernobyl is that it takes constant effort and money to KEEP
that radiation isolated.

If they don't disassemble the reactor (which would be incredibly expensive), they will need to keep it covered for many hundreds to thousands of years, which would be incredibly expensive. Since Ukraine will probably not be able to pay for it, that means the rest of the world needs to, unless we want it to spread all over the earth.

At least Japan is capable of paying for their "little accident" themselves. They made the whole of earth a little bit more radioactive, resulting in accumulation of radioactivity in animals on top of the food chain (humans), but at least they are doing a reasonable job of containing it now. Still, it will probably cost them much more than nuclear power ever made them. That's the constant gamble being taken, by every country who is using nuclear power. The slightest accident or inevitable natural disaster can damage your country more than nuclear power ever benefited it.

If your country is ever at war, or there are some terrorist who don't like you, you could just paint a big bullseye on every nuclear plant, because that's the reality of it.

It's much better to use that big nuclear reactor in the sky for energy. It's cheap, it's safe, and it doesn't blow up for another 5 billion years.

Domesticated honey bees are not the only bees that would go extinct, they will
probably be the last to go extinct. It's wild bees that you need to worry about.

Other pollinators, including flies, butterflies, beetles, birds, and bats, would continue
to help pollinate plants, but they generally do not pollinate as effectively as bees for many crops. Some plants that depend heavily on bees would produce much less fruit or seeds without them. Humans wouldn’t necessarily go extinct without bees, but agriculture, food diversity, and ecosystems would face major disruptions.

Would humans go extinct without bees?

Did you actually READ anything, or are you just saying shit that you want to believe?

Hearsay from his own mouth. That alone should have been enough for you
to not support him. If you don't see Trump BEING a horrible piece of shit,
on a daily basis, then you probably think behavior like that is normal.
That makes me question your morality and how you treat other people.
If you don't, then why do you think people like Trump should be president?

Are you kidding, Trump has been a criminal all his life.
I knew him to be a piece of shit, long before he ran for president.
I didn't know the extend of it, because he was keeping under the radar, but as soon as he went public, I started investigating him and found an almost unending pile of shit, that each on their own should discredit him to ever vote for him. His character alone should be a reason, but you support him despite everything combined.
Either you have been living under a rock, or you just like horrible people.

Didn't you have investments in only one company?
That means you were just lucky to still have some.
It takes zero skill to do that, only some will.

A "cd (Certificate of Deposit) or money market account" is not really "investing".
It's basically trusting a bank to give you some of their profits, while THEY invest
with your money, making the real money for the wealthy who own the bank.
It's just another system designed to transfer more wealth to the wealthy.

The only chance you have to win in capitalism, is directly investing in stocks
or real assets. If you invest in stocks without skill, it's just g@mbling.

The reason for that money saving you from homelessness and starvation is your own aversion against "socialism". You could have been on disability benefits.
But you probably believed that only fraudsters got it, so you supported the grifters
for the wealthy to take it from you. And now you are doing that for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, remaining Disability benefits and Education support.
“Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.”
I don't know how much shame you should feel for being fooled a dozen times.

Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Alabama, and Tennessee consistently rank among U.S. states with the highest murder rates per capita. It's mostly the shithole red states.
I guess it matters a lot to you that the person killing you has an American passport.

If you don't like to be killed by Americans either, you're the safest in New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine. You know, those horrible blue states.

How will you ever see, something that is clearly a lie.
If you cannot even understand simple numbers not adding up,
you will NEVER see anything.

There is always someone cheating any system.
They are using that to destroy all systems that are important to people.
What alternatives are you getting for it?

In the case of social security, your alternative would be either working till you die,
your own investments or some private insurances. Do you think no one is cheating
on your investments or some private insurances?

Sure, some native Americans sometimes ate people.
Still, their morality beats what MAGA shows these days.
If there would be any culture adopting cannibalism, it would be yours.

Obama forced insurances to cover 'existing conditions'. That's probably why they increased the premium. But it also protects you from getting fucked over.

You are correct that Obama Care sucks. That's because it is an original Republican plan. It still allows insurances to make a lot of money by exploiting the people. The only way to solve that is to create single payer healthcare.

Republicans have no plans, besides making healthcare worse.
