So dudes, how does this get me laid tonight?
You believe in defunding the police?Defund the police to pay for it.
What about the NFL and NBA? All dominated by black men getting rich. But Let's not talk about that .Since the 50s, the rich have gotten richer, and tbh those actual rich are probably still mostly white men not females, or minorities, so its just the same ppl on top, whether they r using minorities or females to get power is not the point. Ofcourse its capitalism if the rich have been getting richer and rest poorer, it can only be stopped with gov intervention. I mean how much money does gates, bezos, musk etc have? If things have gotten bad since the 50s you just have to ask is there more or less capitalism and the answer is have the rich got richer and is there greater inequality and the answer seems to be yes.
Whether a few minorities get better jobs or there are more black/trans leads in hollywood is not really important imo, It is just about the rich getting richer while the rest of us have more expensive housing, less pay, worse jobs etc
That depends on whether you believe that the police actually enforce the law, or whether they project their own biases on their jobs that's contrary to their training because of culture within the police in order to maintain the status quo of white supremacy. There is a growing sentiment that a number within their ranks are secretly part of the kkk and have a job of framing black people with drug possession, disrespecting second amendment rights and killing black people on site for just legally owning a gun, and automatically side with the white people, refuse to listen to the other side if they are black and victims and end up slapping charges on the black victim even if the white person is attacking the black person on camera,e tc... When you have a climate like that within law enforcement then police are worst than useless and the money is better spent elsewhere. If they are not defunded, then jury awards against them will ensure they are legally defunded as they violate people's rights and they end up suing.Surely you jest.
Just curious: Since you are a Canadian, living in Canada, do you feel victimized because of your race?If there was an international court of law and blacks as a collective sued for raparations and human rights abuse then it would be allot of money owed. But the US make sure no international court can prosecute them.
No, I can't really say that since I have light-skin priviledge and don't think I look black enough or feel I have the type of black skin-tax that you hear about in the media. For example, the last time I was stopped by the police where I didn't like the vibe of the encounter was early 2011. They are blacks who complain about getting stopped 50 times in a month not once in a decade. I don't feel anything at the stores I frequent (if I do go in), and think people stare at my n95 mask since I'm the only person wearing any mask at all these days.Just curious: Since you are a Canadian, living in Canada, do you feel victimized because of your race?
The culture of policing should be under better scrutiny so that there is no gang like behaviour going on under the colour of law.You believe in defunding the police?
About that. It's argued that the owners are white and, especially football (NFL) is more like a plantation sport. If a player gets a concussion they generally just go on mental decline and it is a very dangerous sport. What risk are the white managers taking on the sport? Their heads aren't at risk of getting hit. Then there is the Colin Kaepernick thing. He expressed his views and virtually lost his job. You think if it was dominated by black men that would even be possible?What about the NFL and NBA? All dominated by black men getting rich. But Let's not talk about that .
and who is going to protect you when someone robs you at your home and kills your family members? (or whatever for that matter).Defund the police to pay for it.
Exactly, Capitalism us the very reason of our higher living standards, it promotes free will and the right to chose of building your own business or being a worker. It promotes and rewards those that dare to take risk and work hard, it promotes innovation and rewards those that do it for the chance of personal success.Socialism is not the answer. Capitalism is the answer.
Exactly. We do not have Capitalism in the tree form anymore. Socialism and communisms has been mixed in and you can start (for US), with Franklin D. Roosevelt with his "New deal" in the 30'tes and the theft of US citizens gold which introduced the first parts socialism in the US.With respect, I don't think you understand what capitalism is. Capitalism in the UK and US was at an all time high at the turn of the 20th century (i.e. over 100 years ago).
I don't think you understand what capitalism is. Capitalism in the UK and US was at an all time high at the turn of the 20th century (i.e. over 100 years ago). We are way past peak capitalism. What we have today is called "crony capitalism", which is actually a type of socialism. It's when the government and large corporations (i.e. Hollywood, the media, banks, etc.) work hand in hand to push social agendas and fvck people over.
The USA has too much 'crony capitalism' and government interference in the economic system. The USA needs less 'crony capitalism' and more laissez faire capitalism, which is actual capitalism.We do not have Capitalism in the tree form anymore. Socialism and communisms has been mixed in and you can start (for US), with Franklin D. Roosevelt with his "New deal" in the 30'tes and the theft of US citizens gold which introduced the first parts socialism in the US.
Also for Capitalism to work you need free markets of capital and goods which we do not have anymore. We have a overregulated, government controlled markets instead.
Yes!Capitalism us the very reason of our higher living standards, it promotes free will and the right to chose of building your own business or being a worker. It promotes and rewards those that dare to take risk and work hard, it promotes innovation and rewards those that do it for the chance of personal success.
Well they are capitalistic, but I agree they are strongly influnced by socialism too and I'm not a big fan of it.@AureliusMaximus is from Denmark. The Scandinavian nations are all socialist, and they also need more capitalism.
I have have a Cuban coworker who says the same thing. He lived there under Castro and it was a total sh!t show. He suggests people who think socialism is such a great thing should move to Cuba and get a taste of their own delusion.If socialism was such a great system, you would expect successful, hard-working people to be advocating for it. But that never happens. Instead, it's always losers and lazy bums who don't have two cents to their name who are preaching the virtues of socialism. Fvck that. Anyone who likes socialism can move to Cuba, Venezuela or North Korea (among others). And contrary to popular belief, Scandinavian countries are not socialist. Not even close.
Communism has never worked and never will and I got 1oo million dead souls and skulls to prove it:No lol. Capitalism is chaos.
Can you not see it? Ppl are incentivised to increase transactions, sell anything to anyone. There is no moral/technical/intellectual grounding whatsoever.
Capitalism will destroy your soul when you as a man go to work as a salesman and you accept that you must sell a product to someone whether they want it, need or it is good.
In Capitalism there is no moral grounding at all. You can make money selling crack and decimating communities and ppl will applaud for your hardwork and success, now you can drive aruond in a ferrari and get all the women too!
In Capitalism a man is a clown worse than when dealing with women. Women make men do stupid **** but Capitalism is worse. To make more money men are just doing pointless stuff like moving from job to job, whether one is more or less productuve doesnt even seem to affect outcomes but rather whether one moves job more or less often.
Capitalism is inherently inefficient because it is stupid and low-class.
In Captialism if someone got paid 300K to make a fool out of himself and sell his morals and beliefs ppl will say he is successful.
Capitalism will take your soul and leave you nothing.
Now Credit Suisse again is failing but Capitalism for thee but Socialism for me! The Gov will give them money cos big banks are not allowed to fail but you are allowed to fail. Capitalism is a lie, at the top it is all Socialism, if the bank fails the economy will get hurt. Big Banks and Big money can never lose, if they make profits the shareholders get rich, if they lose the gov will give them taxpayer money. It is all lie and a failure.
I worked at ABN Amro in IT. I was close to lots of traders and such I knew a lot about the markets. RBS came and bought ABN Amro, and soon RBS went bust. The Gov had to give them taxpayer money, Captialism for thee but Socialism for me! Then I moved to Credit Suisse and it too went downhill pretty quick around that time which was around 10years ago after the 2008 crisis. Now again it is doing badly. This **** is gonna repeat endlessly and you goota understand these bankers and traders are not adding value to the economy they are just extractiing money.
Most Banking/Trading jobs in the UK exist to give good easy high-paying jobs to elites from top private schools. The country is gonna fail really bad cos those ppl are making money but not doing anything useful. Ppl with intelligence and good education need to be doing useful work like infrastructure, roads, engineering etc not useless finance stuff that has no value. This is why Britain has a huge Banking sector but the country is doing really badly and now it is the global end of easy growth this country along with America are now gonna be in terminal decline cos they are just using the Banking/Finance sector to extract money from the ppl but not doing anything useful or productive like technology, manufacturing etc.
The lazy become “victims” of their own doing. Look at all the people who didn’t want to work because the government was giving out free money during the pandemic. Then the working class get taxed to pay for them. My coworker used to get giddy over free Covid tests. They were not free, the government took 50% of our bonuses in taxes.Well they are capitalistic, but I agree they are strongly influnced by socialism too and I'm not a big fan of it.
I Believe in liberty, freedom of speech, free markets, low taxes for citizens, governments should be kept small and the individuals right to rule and live their own life as they fit, it you work hard you will receive and reap the benefits of your sweat and if you are lazy you will be punished for it which is fair = 100% capitalism.
Well that's the irony of socialism and communism isn't it?The lazy become “victims” of their own doing. Look at all the people who didn’t want to work because the government was giving out free money during the pandemic. Then the working class get taxed to pay for them. My coworker used to get giddy over free Covid tests. They were not free, the government took 50% of our bonuses in taxes.
Jesus will, and He will prevent that from happening in the first place.and who is going to protect you when someone robs you at your home and kills your family members? (or whatever for that matter).
You like listening to Fox news don't you?AureliusMaximus said:That is the most stupid thing I ever heard of. And that has gone so well in the retard states what actually done it, its genius:
Mass rioting and looting, murder and theft. Crime rates are going through the roof because there is no one to stop them. and for some reason, why is the large part of these people from the hood doing these crimes?
(This is backed by statistics/recorded data, just for the record).
How do you figure that? Its money that would have been spent anyway it's just going elsewhere. Like the Ukraine.AureliusMaximus said:Plus defunding the police or whatever government function can't pay for it. There is no money for it, only debt. Take a look at the debt clock again....
Don't have Fox news in Denmark so no.You like listening to Fox news don't you?
Right, just like "your" African brothers/ancestors sold their own kind to the slave trade then? Did Jesus protect "you" when the African tribes hunted down, captured people from other African tribes and sold them to the slave trade for massive profits?Jesus will, and He will prevent that from happening in the first place.
