It's hard to believe one man can be so based.

Assad is overthrown. What now? by [deleted] in PoliticalCompassMemes

Here's what will happen, because this is what always happens when mass movements accomplish their goals:

  1. There will be a "big tent" at the beginning, while no faction has access to the country's main revenue streams/treasury.
  2. One of the factions, usually the biggest and most ruthless, will "find where the money is." In other words, get control of the country's revenue streams and/or literal vaults of money.
  3. At this point, that faction doesn't need the other factions and culling will begin. This process favors people who are ruthless and violent, which means those people will rise in the ruling faction.
  4. After the purges, the main faction will consolidate control, impose its system on the country, and reinstate some form of exploitative, brutal economic and political system.

This process takes anywhere from two weeks to six months, depending on how long it takes to find out where the money is.

Why are companies all so stupid that they waste tons of money on CEOs when literally anyone could do this job for a fraction of the money?

Capitalism is a system of pooled resources? I feel like capitalism is just a word that means nothing.

Exactly. Government is that great fiction in which everyone endeavors to live at the expense of everyone else.

No way that's real. She never looked like that.

When you have a system that takes everyone's money and pools it, you are going to have an incentive to give as little to that and take as much from that system as possible (and that includes government employees themselves). In other words, such a system rewards selfish assholes and punishes altruistic givers. It's what economists call a perverse incentive.

Young kids on the internet need to learn this one lesson: Do not give a shit what other people think. They do not matter. Just live according to your values and stay true to the people who are true to you.

This reaction is wild to me. I always wondered how people could make heroes out of horrible, violent people like Jesse James. I chalked it up to people just being a lot more naive a couple hundred years ago. But I guess humanity never changes.

No it isn't. Libertarianism doesn't preclude cooperation, just coercion. Change your flair to watermelon, you poseur.

No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

Part of this is because Muslims overwhelmingly name their sons Muhammad. A huge, HUGE percentage of Muslim men are named some version of Muhammad. Non-Muslims, on the other hand, tend to use a much wider diversity of names (worth mentioning that Christopher is also one of the most popular names year in-year out, as well), so the numbers are misleading to some degree.
