I'm getting upvoted by this faggot for replying to him so I'm going to stop posting and watch the 49er game now

nothing wrong with posting true things, who cares if you got "trolled" into posting it?



there's just a special form of autism when arguing online, where its hard to know if you're retreading old ground, or jumping from conclusion to conclusion too much - or posting a fucking treatise about something that can be easily understood.

It's very true that capitalists control the state. Examples:

http://freebeacon.com/democracy-alliance/the-left-wing-billionaires-club/

A leading voice in the world of liberal foundations has a side project funding the left-wing billionaire’s club known as the Democracy Alliance, according to documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

Judith Avery, who serves as chair of the $24 million Durfee Fund and president of the $38 million Baytree Fund, is also a member of the secretive network of Democratic millionaires and billionaires.

Avery’s father, R. Stanton Avery, invented stickers and turned the product into a multi-billion dollar industry. He founded the Durfee Foundation, named for his wife Dorothy Durfee Avery, in 1960, to pursue the type of progress he witnessed during the early days of China’s communist revolution. Avery inherited her father’s ideology, along with his considerable wealth. She has donated more than $245,000 to Democratic candidates since 2008, including donations of $30,000 to two liberal super PACs and $25,000 to George Soros’ secretive Secretary of State Project in 2008.

In r/K Selection Theory in Evolutionary Ecology, if you provide a population with free resources, those who will come to dominate the population will exhibit five basic traits, called an r-selected Reproductive Strategy. These traits are all designed to best exploit the free resource availability. In nature, the r-selected strategy is best seen in the rabbit, which lives in fields of grass it will never fully consume. The five traits are, competition and risk avoidance, promiscuity, low-investment single parenting, earlier age of sexualization of young, and no loyalty to in-group. These traits are ultimately designed to maximize the numbers of offspring produced. Each of these offspring, though of lesser fitness, will be able to survive and reproduce freely themselves, due to the free resource availability.

this is why people are leftists hth




“All the world will be your enemy, Prince of a Thousand Enemies. And when they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you; digger, listener, runner, Prince with the swift warning. Be cunning, and full of tricks, and your people will never be destroyed.” --El-Ahrairah Malik El-Shabazz

the main reasons why most people don't debate socialism online:

1. socialism was tried and it didn't work
2. most countries acknowledge (1) and therefore aren't socialist
3. most people interested in socialism eventually realize (1) and (2) and then move on with their lives.

Sounds like you dodged a bullet. Next you'll be complaining about how your relationship with a Mormon didn't work out.

do you think that people who live under economic stresses and the social stresses associated with them act like the rational actors you read about on wikipedia?

I notice that you, too, continue posting, even when your posts are frequently deleted. Of all the caricatures of mental illness here, you would be my top vote for "needs institutional assistance"

SA forums opened up again, clicked on a random thread in the movie forum, found a supermechagodzilla post and clicked the question mark. i assume this is what everyone who reads that forum does.

holy shit SA is bad. the pacific rim thread is nerds talking about buying little figurines and getting real mad when they get called fascists. plz do not discuss marxism leninism on the dead gay forum somethingawful.com

C_man, your arguments for leftism have all been proven to be trash. No matter how badly your ideas fail in reality you'll still keep forcing them on other people.
