Is liberalism driven by low self esteem or sheer stupidity and autism?

[Top Poodle]

To me he is straightforward, simple. My expectations for him is that of a profound sage, but someone who points out what we pass by everyday, yet ignore.

Putin makes a good point, but he is trying to re-unify the old Soviet Union. He also has to deal with the massive corruption of his own country and keep the oligarchy happy, yet keep them contained. I mean their military is in dire need of upgrading, tanks falling apart, aircraft carriers in abysmal condition, and jets needing upgrading or replacing. If only he had our defense budget.

prove the bold plz

agree with massive corruption, and al the rest.   but putin has still revitalized the country, and the generation of kids raised under his leadership are some of the best.

[Top Poodle]

What percentage of the military budget would fund state schools?  Idk but I'm guessing it would be a small slice of the pie and money better spent.

i think we've shown with the common core that state schools, which would only perpetuate the propaganda of The Party, would be an awful, horrible, disastrous idea

It would yield a better educational result than the current business model which is perfectly willing to churn out retards as long as they'll accept the uni mortgage.

Or maybe we could phase out social programs which are currently bleeding money and are hopelessly unsustainable.

The reality is most of the education infrastructure has been rendered obsolete due to  online learning and distance-learning. There are much more efficient ways to learn most subjects. The ones that require infrastructure ar generally hands-on things like engineering, and the hard sciences.

i'd care, i dont want my country falling into the hands of a different fucking race

This! It amazes me how white Americans think it will just be fine once the power goes into the hands of a more dominant race by being completely outnumbered.

there's also many more losers than winners in the world (obviously... the few strong rise, the masses get left behind), so support for socialism and liberalism is an inherit feature of any population just because of the natural distribution of ability.  

as you get to each progressively higher level of skill, there are less and less people there.

few winners, many losers, and the losers band together to stifle and obstruct individual success

Way too much generalization here. Boatloads of liberals are found in rich precincts, so the loser theory doesn't really work. Another example is that Trump voters tended to have less income in general and I would not describe them as liberal. Hard to explain why some people go one way and others the other way. How your parents and people around you think is probably the biggest factor. A friend's son was very conservative like my friend as a teenager. But he got into Harvard and he's changing fast.

[phreak]

absolutely.  they have no pride -- all they have is shame.  as they should, the behaviors they engage in are NATURALLY SHAMEFUL.

shame is a way for the human, a complex social creature, to know that what he is doing is wrong.

they are trying to override the feelings of shame and disgust, almost to turn the table on us, the people who actually think the degeneracy is wrong, and try to shame US for thinking that way (the normal, regular way).

nature = man fucks woman, woman fucks man.  nothing else.

but they build up this artificial construct of "pride" as a way to try lessening the shame.  yet of course, they can't -- the shame comes from deep, deep down.  they're putting on veneer on an old, crumbling floor and claiming it's perfect and new.

no.  it's rotten underneath.  and all the freaks who fall into this sort of ideological thinking suffer from immense cognitive dissonance, even if they're unaware of it, and that just furthers their neuroticism  toward the world.  it's a vicious cycle.  

and it comes from weak minds.  minds that have been corrupted and twisted through the horrible education system in the west.  ie, the fourth grade REQUIRED READING LIST in california now includes "Jacob's new dress."  Common core math now asks questions such as "how do you make 10 from 8 and 5?"  A smart kid answers "you cannot make ten from eight and five," teacher says WRONG, YOU CAN, and goes through some convoluted explanation that makes literally no logical sense:

This reminds me of 1984's 'how many fingers do you want me to see' scene.

Environment is certainly a big factor. I occasionally listen to Joe Rogan's podcast. I get the feeling that had he not gone into show business and been just a regular guy working construction or something he would be conservative, but being surrounded by liberals for so long has affected his mind.

One of the biggest issues that will be faced in the future is elderly care. As the very large Baby Boomer population ages, they will need services. Home healthcare,mental care, And places for Assisted Living and various other services. It's something that will overwhelm us in the next few years.

The educational system also needs to focus on development of vocational skills. Not everybody is cut out for college. And having a learned skill will help keep people employed. Problem is, vocational schools are looked down upon.

Low income doesn't make one a loser.

Funny how whenever the government is involved in an industry in a big way, healthcare and education, costs are out of control.

Many are having their bills paid for by others, either welfare state or parents of means.  So many of the weak pussy protest crowd are upper middle class or higher spoiled kids who never worked a day in their life.

Universities aren't free now and are regarded as hotbeds of antifa and trannyism.  Can't see you arguing in favor of the current system.

I'll go with that.  The intellectual elitism once associated with these places is offensive anyway.  And, given the quality of their product these days, awful tough to carry off.

thomas Sowell covers this. And so has Milton Friedman

Poorly.  For every price controlled disaster we can point to a similarly damaging market mistake.  Housing crunch, stock whoopsies x100, tulip bulb mania.

He never addresses things that are tax funded yet miraculously work.  Police.  Military.  Even primary and secondary school.  Then everyone acts like you're from Mars if you suggest similar funding for tertiary school.

That is quite true. But, there is no denying that something will need to be done. When you have someone who is living in Assisted Living, and has medical issues, on a fixed income, needs to be taken to doctor's appointments, needs bills paid, needs surgery, etc. And you have to go through hoops to get this, and that, and that person cannot afford the above mentioned list, and then you have to call for XYZ to see if you are eligible for XYZ funds. It gets tiresome for the people. And since no one is prepared for the onset of all these baby boomers, add to that  people are living longer, you have a giant on the horizon to deal with. The question is how?

[Tapeworm]

how?

Capitalism

It's actually normal to resent a shit system.

which deregulated industry has ever worked in the history of america, for the people?

banks?
energy and utilities?
airlines?


the only one that kinda worked was the trucking industry and that came at the expense of how many jobs?

That you think the banks are a deregulated industry speaks volumes.

The banking industry has a central planning agency called the federal reserve which has complete control over the most important market price: the price of money.

One of the more lightly regulated industries is technology and not surprisingly the United States has most of the best companies in the world.

so the hard sciences and hard subjects are eroding and crumbling into decay, soft bullshit like gender studies takes prominence, and kids are raised outside of the influence of the family (mothers go to work, ffs who thought of that, mothers need to STAY AT HOME AND RAISE CHILDREN, that is their #1 calling.  not nannies raising kids, not daycares raising kids, MOTHERS), and the societal rot runs deep, america is morally and culturally bankrupt, we'll have a bit of a renaissance with gen z (the kids who are 13, 14, 15 today), but the ones who are children, being born to these libtard freaks who are in the 20s and 30s today, are going to be even more badly damaged than their parents

The thought that is there is no truth but my truth.

Sad state of affairs we are in.

The baby boomer generation is and has been entering that phase, it will overwhelm us temporarily as they will on the downside of life. The problem will be when their generation breathes it's last breath, then all the resources and money coming in from their aging is gone.
