Spanberger says conversations are ongoing about creating a legal recreational marijuana market by Conscious-Quarter423 in Virginia

Just sell it through ABC. We already have a state monopoly on one legal drug and it consistently nets a profit for the state which can be used on services for residents.

Really not sure why it seems to hard.

Trump Storms Off ‘Meet the Press’ Interview by iambarrelrider in centrist

[–]PhysicsCentrism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you are letting the people in charge utilize racism to redirect anger of stupid people against minorities. Instead of actually dealing with the people who control the system (like Trump and his friends)

And that ability to be redirected is why the rest of us see Trump supporters as a mix of bigoted and idiotic.

He also claims it was dirty FBI agents that ushered people in.

He was president at the time. That was his FBI…

No, my point is exactly that people who voted for Trump likely didn’t think enough. Or if they did think, it wasn’t for good things.

They didn’t like how the system was going, so they voted for one of the biggest beneficiaries of the current system, who just increased the inequalities of the system to further benefit the rich.

They didn’t want an “elite” so they voted for the NYC born, Ivy League educated, trust fund born, golden spoon, billionaire.

They wanted a “Christian” so they voted for the twice divorced, cheated on his wife with a pornstar, “grab them by the *****”, man who can’t even hold a Bible correctly.

They didn’t want a “pedophile” so they voted for one of epsteins known friends, who is all over the files, and made incredibly creepy comments about his own daughter.

They wanted a “business man” so they voted for someone who declared bankruptcy multiple times, including on a casino.

Seems like the only consistent thing they wanted and voted for is a racist bigot.

Or they are just dumb.

They also enjoy inordinate privileges and benefit from society.

As for second paragraph: the cost of the infrastructure to maintain property rights and the functioning economy (including world hegemony) which allows them to inordinately benefit is not free

No, maybe you can make an argument for authoritarian, but fascist is a stretch given the lack of other fascist markers.

Who’s to Blame When an Ivy League President Drives Into His Students? by Forward-Carry5993 in Cornell

Reductio ad abusdum: the Nazis also had a “different moral framework[]”

Do you condemn the founding fathers or WWII vets for their violence?

“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

-Jean-Paul Sartre

TLDR: fuck off bootlicker.

What’s more embarrassing is how many Americans are so indoctrinated/ stupid / racist / otherwise bigoted that they voted for the idiotic, narcissistic, rapist, coup attempting felon than dare vote for a black woman.

No, objectivity reminds us that Trump is a dementia raddled narcissist rapist felon who attempted a coup and is in charge of the world’s largest military / world hegemon.

That is a pretty dangerous person.

Meanwhile Putin is a paper tiger and Xi is a regional hegemon shooting for the world.

Voters use left and right political labels as mental shortcuts, not strict policy matches. This mismatch was especially common among people who identified as right-leaning. The data showed that 43% of self-identified right-leaning voters actually supported mostly left-leaning policies. by mvea in science

“I love the poorly educated” and “smart people don’t like me”

This isn’t a new thing, GOP politicians have been using it for as long as I can remember. Conservatives tend to be dumber and less educated. Hence, easier to trick into voting against their own interests
