If you think antifa is a good thing

You're cancer.

Even if you want to go with the uptick of fascism and white nationalism. Attacking them doesn't help your cause. All it does is give them more ammunition to say, "look how crazy the left has become".

One of the funny things is you guys fail to do is understand correlation vs causation. "After Trump won the white house, hate crimes raised."

This could also do with the fact with the high increase of terrorism in western countries in the last few years. Saying that its the west's fault for not being inclusive enough and that we should all just come together. Then terrorism will stop; Is extremely naive and counter intuitive.

I'm not saying that hate crimes of any sort should ever happen, they shouldn't, nor should certain people be barred from entering. But the liberal apology tour for other groups and just blaming the west and white people, is part of the cause for the rise of "white nationalism".

For the liberals having such a high college graduate segment, it's really sad how naive their world view is.

Your metaphors are so f*cking stupid

What if the grandpa trades that potato in exchange for 1 strawberry a year for 20 years but dies on year 5, is it suddenly "stealing" or whatever you want to call it if the man's son plans on collecting the strawberries owed?


you: ur metaphot is stupid, here is another metaphor that has nothing to do with what u were saying

ok. people should be allowed to spend their money on what they want lol, and if they want to leave their money to their children then they should be allowed to do so.

I don't have parents that are going to leave me millions, but I'm not complaining about it just because some other kid is more fortunate


did this kids parents physicly worked that capital? that land, or those machines or did they collect the produce of others and called it their own, lets say i plant a potato and more potatos grow and i get thses potatos, i eat some in life and die, my kid gets the rest of the potatos! ok! now suppose instead someguy gets 70% of my potatos, and i eat with my kid the other 30% in life, i die my kid has nothing that guys kid has stuff, im not opposing the workers passing the capital they produced to their children, i oppose people giving sh1t they took from workers cause his grandfather started some lemon stand or whatever

lmao calvinism is stronk, when u claim ur system is meritocratic but u literally have monarquies of capital


harodihg says

Why are you being sarcastic when you blatantly don't understand the fundamentals of how businesses operate?


yes, well i suppose that's because u r talking about how to manage capial, while all capital is labor, and all labor under capitalism is exploitation, and then there is the fact that one of the votes r either burocratic things or just deciding to pay executives wich really r what builds a company that combined with the classic calvin of these workers who work my capital and do all the work could never do my job of voting on things, cause i own stocks means im smarter than my workers and literally god favours me

That's not a rhetorical question either, I am genuinely asking how you think you'll be perceived when you just copy paste more random things you found online thinking that it somehow dispells the notion that you don't understand how the things that you're arguing against even work

it must be exhausting to vote yes no or abstain with a tooltip on what u should vote, i retract stockholders r the hardest workers of them all bless their souls!
lmao ya its not at all like wealth is getting stagnated to 1910-1950, with social mobility going down, and 8 ppl owning 50% of all wealth, stop this prejudice on rich ppl, they work so hard to get out of their mom's and be given stocks when their daddy dies

I'm gonna be honest here, I get the impression that some of you (mostly somethingwhatever) doesn't actually understand some very basic, core concepts of how businesses operate. Things like how CEO's or board member's obtain their positions or how the decision process of a company actually works.

for reference on just one aspect of what im talking about lol

CEO's are important, but does that justify them having an increasingly larger and larger share of the pie? Do remember that CEO's are important for the organizational part of a company, but when it comes to real output, a lot of it is created from the labor of your average workman.


fair argument to make

when u take the point someone was making strawman it into a question and then proceeds to repeat strawman like a r*tard thats when u win an argument


how did I strawman someones point? Was matt's (and too many other's that Ive seen recently) point not that having to work in order to survive is like slavery?

Im not sure I fully understand your argument, because you write like the kind of person I expect to hold backwards beliefs.

But are you arguing CEO's arent important/hard working? Because that's just plain wrong. CEOs are paid a lot because theyre in demand, because only a small percent of the population can do the job. And how does a study prove they dont have an impact on profits? What's the control group here? Companies without CEO's?

I studied 100 pro soccer matches and I came to the conclusion that wearing cleats did not impact the outcome of the game. On average, a person wearing cleats has an equal chance of winning the game as they do losing it. Cleats are a waste of money. WAKE UP SHEEPLE


haha ITS NOT AT ALL LIKE THE CEOS WERE GETTING BONUSES WHY THEIR COMPANIES WERE GETTING LITERALLY SO BROKE THEY HAD TO BE BAILED OUT HAHAHHAAH, IM A MADMAN HAHAHAHA
