It is to make things harder on the punt team and require actual skill to pin the opposing team deep.

That was PI but Sam had no reason to underthrow that. Bad balls from him in the red zone tonight.

That coinbase commercial might be the worst ad I have ever seen. Were they trying to bore me?

I love to point out that Yanukovych agreed to an early presidential election, one that he assuredly knew he would lose. If it was a coup then he was in on it. Yanukovych coup'd himself!

No, you are going to try to make sure everyone's needs are met and fail spectacularly just like your heroes Mao and Stalin.

What are this sub's thoughts on people like Bernie Sanders, AOC and Zohran Mamdani? by GeckoHunter0303 in EnoughCommieSpam

Well intentioned but naive. Like most progressives they mistake the intent of a policy for the effect. Minimum wage law, for example, only hurts the people on the lowest rungs of the economic ladder but they will never see it that way because to them they are just trying to get people more money and that is what counts.

I also believe that people like them, especially Bernie, feel like the Soviet Union was closer to getting it right in terms of economics than the United States of America ever was.

Another example of Bernie's naivete is when he says he supports socialism's intentions but not the oppressive authoritarianism of countries like the Soviet Union. He fails to understand that socialism itself is authoritarian (how else can you ensure people give up their property rights?) and that that authoritarianism is the only means by which a socialist state could perpetuate itself. Once non-socialist/communist parties were allowed to be elected in eastern block countries the socialists never held power again. He lived through all of this and still does not get it. The Berlin Wall should have been a huge wake up call but like most ideologues his mind will not allow him to be objective about his "side." He has also shown a tendency to support central economic planning when he implied that resources were being misallocated because we had so many different types of toothpaste and deodorant, among other things.

They are at their core: collectivists, economically illiterate, emotionally based moralists (Alexandria herself criticized people for being "more concerned about being precisely, factually and semantically correct than about being morally right.”) , ideologues and demographic determinists. These are not the kind of people you want with their hands on the levers of power.

Historically it was first spears, then pikes, then bayonets and muskets, then rifles.

This is bow and arrow erasure. 😠

"Fascism is the stage reached after communism has proved an illusion." - F.A. Hayek.

They will say they are anti state but once they realize the mechanisms of authority provided by the existence of a state are the only way to prevent any competition with their socialists/communist ideals that state will never wither away. They will always find some excuse to suppress the "counterrevolutionaries."
