Touché stranger.

The problem with outright socialism is it always gets toppled, because your success is a threat to the entire world order, and foreign governments can make offensive decisions at a faster rate than you can make defensive ones, since your big decisions have to filter through more eyes and hands in the name of fairness.

When we’re talking about entire countries, we have to be more pragmatic than idealistic, or our plans just don’t work sadly.

Pro-tip: Channel your frustration into positivity for better reception.

Nothing you said was unreasonable per se. It was just how you said it that’s getting you flak.

You may not give a shit, but if you do… I’m just sayin’

I want democracy that works for the people and not just the people with the most money.

Socialized Democracy.

Basically democracy with robust safety nets, strong regulation on business, strong labor unions, and socialized healthcare and higher education OPTIONS.

Capitalism is good for competition and innovation so we can’t really ditch it completely, but we live in society, not the jungle, so we should have safety nets and socialized options for poor people to gain independence and social mobility.

My girlfriend thinks capitalism is fine and doesn’t care about billionaires existing.

She’s never had a minimum wage job or worked in the service industry 🙄

Become a rich jacked sociopath.

That’s most manly thing you can do apparently.

Don’t you have to register to vote?…

Illegal immigrants don’t even have social security numbers…
