SuperNamekGod 12/31/17 11:54:41 AM #60:	I say both cease to exist because all the parties/ideologies are good for is dividing people apart for personal gain. They're both dumbassses too. They both deny science and history. The made up gender shit and BBC fanning the flames of this afrocentric movement of inaccurate history people comes to mind for liberals and evolution and climate change for conservatives. Liberals go to the ends of the earth to be tolerant and politically correct but the actual places that practice oppressive laws like Sharia Law I don't hear often because video game titty is more important. Alt righters are anti semitic holocaust deniers who aren't bright at all and get their news from Infowars and obscure youtube videos with some random person who isn't an expert on anything explaining why any major tragedy is a hoax. You both suck equally. Hop off your high horses and learn that you have to work together to accomplish something. Not fight. You think the gov. officials that are in your party care? They don't. It's a business, they're putting on a front. They appease the dumbasses by certain promises they never keep to get elected and ultimately do nothing. So don't put everything on conservatism, both sides are slowly ruining our country with pointless tensions. When scars could be healed if people weren't preoccupied by red and blue. --- Questlove, you not in the house. <cite>SuperNamekGod posted [p:893175446] in Please sto...

It's not generosity to give away someone else's wealth. Then what about all of the wealthy liberals? Lol conservatives always try to paint liberals as wanting things from other people when in reality liberalism is based mainly in compassion which means the motivation is for everyone to be taken care of. See conservatives misconstrue this because you are truly selfish and don't want to help a single other person and see that as the best way of thinking, until you yourself need help. Funny how that happens. What you should be arguing is that society would crumble if there was no motivation to better your life, which is exactly why communist countries fail. If everyone's all getting the same thing, then why bother working? But of course trolls can never use actual facts in your arguments, always have to resort to dishonest nonsense. You're part of the problem. As for the topic, oh shut up. Without conservatives, liberals would destroy the country. And without liberals, conservatives would destroy the country.

What if socialist policies only serve to make people poor in the long run (Venezuela) while the free market serves to raise the standard of living of everyone in the long run (Cambodia)? See now that is a legitimate argument that I can agree with. Well sort of. Wealth redistribution is totally fine as long as it remains at a rational level. Can't go full communist, but also can't let the nation be run by oligarchs who control all of the wealth. There's a spot in the middle somewhere that we need to find, especially with automation taking more and more of our jobs. We need social safety nets and we should be using our national resources to invest in our population like European countries do by paying for their citizens education and things like paternal leave, etc. Those things benefit individuals and the country as a whole. But just taking all the money and distributing it out evenly is a horrendous idea. See you're saying socialist policies ONLY serve to make people poor int he long run which is false, while also saying the free market always serves to raise the standard of living for EVERYONE in the long run, which is also false. Here's a tip, anytime you think you're ALWAYS right, you're definitely not. --- Now you can't call me a sigless user. <cite>nicklebro posted [p:893334795] in Please sto...

This is like saying, "I'm a National Socialist. What's so bad about banning animal cruelty and building highways?" Is it? Those are the key principles in conservatism though they are rarely followed. I dont think those are the key tenets of national socialism rather they are intended side effects of their policy platform.
