The Politics Thread (PLAY NICELY!)

hmmm a step back that I think both sides will enjoy :

Yea, politics has become more and more of an actual realityshow.

Yo I like this vid explaining socialism and the like. I like it mainly because I use those terms almost as the guy in the video and we had a discussion about what arbitrary name people used for all these kinds of modern slavery

It's better than nothing but yeah

Picture > thousand words
Video > hundred pictures.

And yeah as I've said in this thread the definitions people give to "socialism" and "communism" are completely different from person to person and they are two seperate and different entities.

I'd say "nothing new" but I'm witnessing that this video is unlocking knowledge. so hear hear.

there again is the issue of him attributing his own definition of socialism which again is neither universal nor majority nor textbook it's just his. own I hate that he tries to impose it as cannon but hey it's just a vid and the rest does provide some clarity

probably because people tend to speak from their own context. Socialism in Europe tends to be Social democracy (state helps where it can). Communism tends to be what that video calls Socialism (state owning the means of production).

Americans, probably due to historical reasons, seem to lump it all into one giant EVIL category.

that's history in a nutshell

I like adding the term "Social democracy" (even though the name doesn't mean much) to clarify things. I prefer using socialism as many countries did USSR, China, latam...

By the way what do you thing about this guy:

I'm actually pretty in favor of social constructs, when they're built in the right way. Unfortunately, this government quasi-runs healthcare with $700 hospital charges for a single tylenol. You tell me if that sounds efficient or beneficial to the "people". It shouldn't be about some ******* getting rich.

Also, I didn't realize just how many people die in America from gun violence. 93,000,000 every single day, according to the Virginia Governor. ...or, 2/7ths of the country's population. ...yeah, safe to say he mispoke and alt-facts are everywhere.

I like to post videos too, because pictures are worth a thousand words, and videos have hundreds of pictures.

small off-topic : went to the beach a wave kicked my *** and now i'm in a cast and bedridden for awhile. there's that.

live the follow up to the above vid murray actually DID sue HBO :
lawyer breaks it down :

Jokes or politics... jokes or politi.... you know what, eeny, meeny, miney, HERE. Gotta problem, move it for me.

Is there are difference anymore?

I also don't get the joke because i don't recognize the flag. The dot is...right authoritarian?

same. No idea what the joke is.

Anarcho-capitalism it looks like. That was a quick Google search for "black and yellow diagonal flag"

So wait, I'm not "using old meme material"? Tatsu swears I'm some kid posting old material with no understanding of the coursework.

I have no recollection of what you speak. whats up with this tatsu business? is this "Hillary woulda" 2.0 ? does everything have to be Ad hominem with you? whatever. keep it up i'll go tend to my leg

I just realized those faces are their political compass. Somehow I thought of them as remembering me of Windows 10 before.

this is pretty rad. love the french presidents xD
