Capital doesn’t cease to exist under communism, guy. It just stops being controlled by one person.

Blowback is the most incredible podcast I’ve listened to. If you like behind the bastards, blowback is better, entire seasons on particular historical events.

Look to improve at whatever you compete in. Then losing is an opportunity, not a failure.

I don’t agree with your sense of humor I don’t find that funny in the slightest

You can drive through like ten states in a weekend on the east coast

I didn’t use you correctly in my previous comment. I meant in order to have a conversation about a particular topic, we have to go through all the prior assumptions to even begin a conversation. I did not mean to ask you in particular about immigration (and the other poster is not from the US), I was pointing out how much education and discussion must be had. The reason I brought up those points is if you were to look up the immigration laws passed in the early 1900s they were explicitly racist. If you look up the repercussions of immigrants on communities, they are mostly very positive. If you find out about western international policies and the displacement of people due to those policies, you’ll find most immigration is driven from instability caused by those policies. All of which is to say that immigration is a non-issue. Yet its a conservative talking point you all want to discuss, incessantly, because it plays well with xenophobic racists.

I have yet to see a conservative policy that is defensible in any way. The only thing they’re right about is yes, if you give power and money to corporations the stock market goes up.

There’s nothing to debate with conservatives. If you were a reasonable person looking for good faith discussion you wouldn’t be a conservative. So no one will engage with you because its a waste of time at best.

You have the entirety of human history at your fingertips and you’re too lazy to seek out information. No one wants to babysit you through Wikipedia.

It is also my experience dealing with conservatives that any time you people get DESTROYED you people get really angry, like threateningly angry.

I’ll give you a concrete example: the other poster whinging about immigration. Do you know the history of immigration laws? Do you know the causes of immigration? What are the effects of immigration? What are the impacts to communities? Do you understand current and historical colonialism? Or did newscorp tell you immigrants are scary (especially the brown ones)?

I feel like people saying they don’t like in-n-out are just being contrarian for no reason. The fries are fresh cut, the burgers are fresh cooked and if you’re going to insist that they’re comparable to McDonalds, the food is 1/3 the price (and the toppings are undeniably more fresh).

I’ve had whataburger and I spent 18$ on what I considered to be at best standard fast food. I can get a 4x4 at in-n-out, leave absolutely stuffed for like 8$.

Okay yeah but I know what all those variables do
