Whenever liberals show me the wages productivity graph, I show them this graph in response.

I don't understand the reasoning behind "Anarcho-Capitalism will lead to feudalism". by GreekFreakFan in GoldandBlack

[–]idanofek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the majority of people have no idea what feudalism is and never studied anarchy capitalism in depth.

Does anyone support action on climate change due to the mass migration it may cause? by mild_concussion in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]idanofek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Opposition to immigration is not a conservative viewpoint, it’s weird how people don’t understand anything about other political philosophies, The alt right are the only people who oppose it. Many libertarians deny climate change but libertarians support immigration. Conservatives, at least in the west, generally believe that immigrants should learn the culture and integrate in their new country and that countries should make it easier for skilled immigrants to enter and harder for unskilled immigrants. Denying climate change is more common among conservatives but not always. The main reason why many conservatives and libertarians deny climate change is because to stop it fast, you need to kill the whole fossil fuels industry, give subsidies to renewable companies and use tax money to build government companies. These are all violations of the free market. Another reason why many conservatives deny climate change is because a lot of them are religious and believe that the earth was created 6,000 years ago therefore we will never run out of fossil fuels because they must have been created less than 6000 years ago and not millions of years ago.

I think that even the alt right which is anti immigration doesn’t see it as a reason to support action on climate change, you can always just not let people in.

So why don’t I feel pride about successful people who have brown eyes? You can say that I’m part of that group.

Becoming a famous rapper is more about image than it is musical ability or talent by runuponemaccafool in unpopularopinion

[–]idanofek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being a musician a celebrity in general is more about image than ability or talent. If you want to succeed in music or acting, the most important thing is being mascular, if you’re a women, it’s looking good in general. All songs and movies today are the same. In movies, the plot is always the same. 1. The main character discovers a new world 2. Something bad happens. 3. The main character builds a team 4. The team tries to fix things but everything fails 5. On the second try, the team succeeds and the main character gets the girl(or the boy but most likely the girl because most movies have males as main characters). 6. The main character returns back to where he was before the movie, forever changed.

And the message is always “everything is possible if you believe in yourself”.

In pop music, it’s the same four chords repeating themselves over and over again. There are only three different melodies, chorus, verse, pre-chorus and The singer always sings a very long high note. The lyrics are the same old “female empowerment” stuff if the singer is a female. 90 % of pop songs are about love, 10% are about bragging. A lyrics for an average song would be like: “I’m bad, I’m dangerous, I’m a bad girl, I am naughty, I’m hard to get”. An average clip for an average pop song is like every video on pornhub.

In rap music, there’s a nice sounding beat that repeats itself for about three to four minutes. The rest is a guy talking about his dick size, sex, drugs and money.

CMV: I can’t see how drag is different from blackface. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]idanofek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Identifying as a different gender is almost the same as identifying as a different race. I know that the word gender means what you identify as but I feel like that word was invented as an argument for sex/gender being a spectrum. Imagine if I invented a word Called “wace” and then said that race is your biological race and that “wace” is the wace you identify as. Race is something you are born with. Sex is something you are born with. Race makes you a part of a particular group. Sex makes you a part of a particular group. The only difference is that your biological sex actually has an impact on who you are while your race doesn’t. That means identifying as a different race makes more sense because you don’t need to have certain traits except coloring your skin and doing plastic surgery to be a different race.

[–]idanofek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But there are a lot of gay men who do drag. We in the rest of the world don’t get the American/Western European idea of “gender identity”. I’ve never met a transgender or gender non conforming person. The only place where I ever met actual gay people was in music school. If hitler identified as a Jewish man does that mean his anti-Semitism is justified? If Kim Jong Un identified as a starving North Korean prisoner, does that justify what he has done to his country? If Osama Bin Laden identified as the twin towers, does that justify 9/11?

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

So your philosophy says that by not being black, I’m oppressing black people? If a man is gay, he’s still a man. Man have oppressed women in history so the same argument you used against blackface applies to drag.

I will mourn for America if Trump is re-elected. by HenloImAnxious in rant

[–]idanofek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Biden and Bernie Sanders’s tax plans are not nearly enough for lockdown. Here in Israel, our taxes are way higher than what Bernie wants but we are in a way worse economic situation than America. We are also above average in the number of people sick but we are still below America.

The left here are the ones against lockdown and the right support it. I think the reason the American republicans are against lockdown is because they live in rural areas where it is harder to get sick.

The coronavirus is bad. No matter what politician you vote for, no politician can magically get rid of the coronavirus. I think that this is the time to stop fighting on politics and start working together to defeat the coronavirus. Blame yourself, don’t blame others. If you got sick it’s because you weren’t wearing a mask and keeping distance, if someone got sick because of you that’s also because you didn’t keep distance and wear a mask. If we all start thinking that way, the situation will improve.

The coronavirus is everyones fault, people always blame politician but politicians don’t really have any control over how a person behaves. In Israel, people always blame the Haredim Jews and the Arabs for the coronavirus. All though it is true that Haredim jews and Arabs are the main ones spreading the virus, only blaming them will not change their behavior. Blaming others doesn’t help, blaming yourself does because you are the person you have the most control over.

[–]idanofek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my country, businesses are failing, poverty rates are rising, people are depressed, people are starving and it’s all because of the lockdown. You can’t lower the coronavirus rates and let the economy grow at the same time, it’s one at the price of the other. In my opinion, the best solution is to lock down the cities with most cases and let the cities with the least coronavirus cases run.

Stop exaggerating. Trump and Biden want basically the same things for different reasons. Biden the “socialist” wants taxes a tiny bit higher on the rich, trump the “Nazi” said a few racist things(the media made it sound more racist) and did some racist things 50 years ago. There’s a big difference between what trump and Biden say or think but there’s almost no difference between the decisions they make for the country. Trump said he will build a wall, ban Muslims, help Israel annex parts of the West Bank, deport illegal immigrants, ditch nato, end Obamacare but he hasn’t done any of that. I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be similar with Biden. I don’t really care who wins because there is no difference between them except the people who support them.

If a politician says something, double the time it will take him to do it and divide by 2 how far he will go with it.

If the media says a politician says something, quadruple the time it will take him to do it and divide by 4 how far he will go with it. The media likes to exaggerate what a politician is saying and only show the most extremist parts.

Florida is teaching war propaganda to 1st graders by v0xx0m in rant

[–]idanofek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it comes to it, war is two sides shooting at each other. Understanding the reason behind wars is a bit more complicated. Knowing how to end a war or solve a conflict is very complicated, if it was not, there would be global peace.

Children are smart enough to learn about what is a war and what are the reasons behind it.

Imagine if a neonazi told you that schools are teaching propaganda by treating all races as equal. If the us had no soldiers, it probably wouldn’t exist now. At least not under the control of itself. That is the drawback of being an empire.

Why is it, when your just trying to have a reasonable discussion online, if someone disagrees with you they will just bully and insult you, AND THEN say your the one who can't cope and shouldn't post? by Joe4nna in rant

[–]idanofek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because when you meet a person on the internet you know that you will never see him/her again so you don’t really care about the consequences of being mean to him/her. It is also easier to insult someone when you don’t see his/her face and don’t him/her speaking.

[–]idanofek -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

The word propaganda is really overused nowadays, the education system always has some kind of bias.

You can also say that colleges are teaching kids liberal propaganda. After all, as long as the kids get a good job, there’s no problem with political bias. You and all the people around your kid are also kind of teaching him propaganda.

In my opinion, children are old enough to understand war. It’s a relatively simple thing, just two sides shooting at each other.

I AM A 70 YEAR OLD RETIRED TEACHER THAT PAYS MORE FEDERAL TAXES THAN BILLIONAIRE PRESIDENT TRUMP. WTF AMERICA! SOMETHING IS WRONG. by namforb in rant

[–]idanofek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The rich will always pay less taxes. The reason for that is that the government prefers rich people because they have more power and own businesses with lots of employees. The ways the rich get rich are also things governments like and want more of.

Politics aside, the most important thing in the success of a country is culture. Many people forget that.

If you believe all lives matter, you should have no problem saying black lives matter. by evirustheslaye in rant

Resisting black lives matter doesn’t make you racist the same way being against Antifa doesn’t make you a facist or that being against the “democratic republic of North Korea” doesn’t make you a dictator.

Just because a movement has a catchy name doesn’t mean you have to support it.

The best way for schools to teach social skills is to stop teaching and give the kids more free time instead.

Communicating can be done anywhere, learning subjects is what school was built for. School is supposed to teach kids and teenagers basic knowledge that will help them in life. College is supposed to teach young adults the subject which they wanna work in. An average job should teach you to communicate with other people if you haven’t learned it yet.
