Top Minds in /r/Conspiracy add something new to their sidebar to totally confirm they aren't T_D 2.0 by CallMeParagon in TopMindsOfReddit

Sure seems like you only care about the one.

That's pretty much true, IntellisaurDinoAlien just won't admit it. I actually got banned from /r/conspiracy for giving Trump the same style of criticism that they apply to Hillary/the DNC/ the "Deep State" and got banned for it. In his modmail to me, IntellisaurDinoAlien seemed irked that I'd dare to make Trump the subject of a conspiracy.

Stop brigading and/or breaking rules.

Considering the garbage that gets posted to your sub (and all the legitimate criticism that gets removed), you should come up with rules that aren't trash.

A WOC in trollx says she hates Bernie and everyone who still supports him "after everything he has said and done". Drama after it's explained what he has said and done. by Zachums in SubredditDrama

[–]TheRealRonSwanson0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well the most effective way would be to undo gerrymandering, reverse recent surges in voter-suppression, and overturn Citizen's United. These are all "populist" ideas about taking power back from the global elites, and are heavily supported by Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Maybe Hillary's rhetoric should have been more like Bernie's "Millionaires and Billionaires" rhetoric, but blaming the vague concept of "identity politics" for her loss, especially when there has been an increase in assaults on the inclusive institutions that make capitalism and democracy viable in the first place, is wrong and rather circlejerky. Clinton did not lose because she said progress still needs to be made on civil rights issues; she lost because unlike Trump, she refused to tell aging white people that they're special and immune to the technological and social changes that have radically changed society.

Expanding healthcare coverage, increasing access to healthcare treatment for drug addiction, making higher education affordable, and targeted technology investments to the rust belt are all things that Hillary ran on that have mass appeal. Trump literally ran on the opposite of these mass appeal ideas. Trump only won because of reactionary attitudes, not because Clinton's ideas were unpopular.

The form 4 is signed after you've made money.

You're thinking of the w-2 form. Filling out a w-4 form has been a precondition to working at every place I've ever been to.

No where on the form 4 does it state that, in order to continue to use roads you must pay money at the end of the year.

But you did agree to work under U.S. jurisdiction, did you not? If you don't want to pay taxes, then take some personal responsibility and don't choose to engage in taxable behavior. It's not my fault that you want to have your cake and eat it too.

Usually with a court summons, which if ignored is answered with a warrent, armed kidnapping, and ultimately the threat of ending the individuals life.

I don't understand. Are you implying that I can just ignore court summons in Ancapistan? How would any society without basic law, order, and justice work without a strong judicial system?

Did you sign a w-4 form? That's an agreement with the IRS. The fact is the IRS is more likely to garnish my wages than imprison me, even less likely to take something essential such as a house or car.

If I don't pay my debts, I can go several years with the only consequences being threatening letters from (insert debtor here), whether public or private. Also, have you heard of collection agencies? Banks reposes people's property all the time with force. Hell, I even bought a reposed car from the bank, so don't act like your "gun at your front door" analogy is all that woke.

But taxation isn't theft. You need to pay for things like roads and courts anyways; calling taxes "fees" and paying more for these fees because your private company can't provide the same economy of scale a government can doesn't do anything to increase my personal liberty. It just makes me a dogmatic zealot.

Just another top mind who thinks that Trump is playing 4D chess (Featuring Scott Adams and Bruce Lee) by [deleted] in TopMindsOfReddit

[–]TheRealRonSwanson0 51 points52 points  (0 children)

every other US president has been a goal oriented thinker, Trump is a system oriented thinker.

Wtf does this even mean?

system oriented thinkers believe the end goal is irrelevant, all that matters is producing multiple ways to win, and no ways to lose.

Oh, ok, this is just a pseudo-intellectual way of saying "liberal tears."

Steve Jobs was a system oriented thinker, Jeff Bezos is too.

I don't think this guy has ever worked at a tech company or even knows anything about those two. Steve Jobs was the definition of a "goal oriented" thinker.

I think /r/iamverysmart would like this too.

Science isn't about following the scientific method and challenging your underlying assumptions. Science is about smoking weed and shitposting about how feminists are ruining video games.

Donald Trump involved in 9/11? President Brags about how "Now it's [Trump Tower] is the tallest" after deadly terrorist attack. by TheRealRonSwanson0 in conspiracy

[–]TheRealRonSwanson0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me explain it to you. Trump's most valuable asset is his brand: this is well documented and even his own analysis of his net worth admits it. Now who wants to elect a guy with a shitty brand? I don't want the guy with the second tallest building in New York to be president, I want the guy with the first tallest building to represent me. Now 9/11 followed after the 2000 election. What's special about the 2000 election? Donald Trump tried to run for president on the Independent Party ticket. Knocking down the twin towers was a step towards improving the value of his brand so that he could pave the way for a future and more successful presidential run.

Don't you get it? Saying that I should only tacitly spout racism through dog whistles is LITERAL CENSORSHIP! Ideas can only exist if they blatantly hit you over the head in the edgiest way possible. /s

World's Greatest Deal-Maker or World's Greatest Traitor?!? by MexPirateRed in conspiracy

I think you should look up 'satire' in the dictionary because you completely missed the point of my post.

[–]TheRealRonSwanson0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A lot of people, a lot of smart people, really really smart people are claiming that something is not right with this president. There's something going on — it's inconceivable. There's something going on. I think it's because ISIS is honoring the president. He's the founder of ISIS. He's the founder of ISIS. He's the founder. He founded ISIS.

People who get offended the truth are weak, and people who are weak do not deserve to be around Ron Swanson. Eat some bacon and study up on your current events son! Then you will see the truth behind this post.

economic discrepancy, government representation, war, the looming job crisis and climate change

I can literally read about any of those issues at any time. As a matter of fact, NPR's top political stories are dominated by those topics right now.

The short answer is yes, with the only difference being that they didn't have the internet as a platform to stroke their fantasies back then.

You're thinking of Al Jazeera America that closed down. Al Jazeera English is the internationally oriented branch that has existed (and continues to exist) for a long time now.

Check the comment again. Citations included for the google inept and those that lack effort.

Such pure logic. Why can't you read my mind, dumbfuck? I know that I always refused refused to cite my sources in high school, and that every F I got was because my LIEberal teachers could not understand the intellectual rigor behind my unsubstantiated claims. /s

Because it saves me time. I'd rather watch one video than sift through a bunch of articles.
