I honestly don't know any communists. I haven't seen any communist flags at any left-wing rallies. I haven't seen any posters of Stalin or Mao at any meet-ups I have attended.
Who you are willing to associate with says a lot about who you are. When an ethical person discovers they are associating with unethical people, they must choose to break ties or compromise their integrity. That's why the more scrupulous members of the Republican party are distancing themselves from Trump. When he stated that there were some "very fine people" marching with Nazis in Charlottesville, politicians and CEOs started jumping ship and running for the exits.
I was big into the ancap scene, and I still have a lot of ancap friends. I have cut some of the nastier ones out of my life. I uninstalled TOR, and I don't go on the dark web any more. I would rather not associate myself with the drug dealers, gun dealers, and child pornographers that use the tech. I buy my marijuana from a legal dispensary now, because people in my state organized and voted it into law.
The confederate statues were put up during the civil rights struggle and Jim Crow years. They have nothing to do with heritage, and everything to do with the ongoing culture war between racists and minorities.
Let me put this in language a Trumpist can understand.
The Confederates lost. They are losers. They don't get a participation trophy. If you feel triggered, and need a safe space, you need to man up and stop playing the victim card. I don't like statues of people who lose wars, ok? I want a statue of a winner. Why don't we have a statue of Grant? We're gonna build a giant statue of Grant, and we're gonna make the south pay for it!

I'm blown away I got told to eat acid and open my third eye from such a closed minded smug retard who's still convinced I'm a trump supporter. Why do political parties only accept facts when it benefits their side. I think you need some more acid my friend because it's supposed to dissolve your ego not turn you into a pompous ass.
If you are not a Trumpist, and I am not a communist, what are we arguing about?
I have done enough psychedelics. My last trip was in 2011. I was really into Hunter S. Thompson, and decided I wanted a gonzo Vegas trip. I took 3 hits of acid on my way to the airport. A couple hours later, while I was frying balls, the plane began experiencing engine trouble. It was utterly terrifying.
While psychedelics have helped me gain a better intuitive understanding of my connection with the universe, they have not dissolved my ego. I like who I am. I wish to continue existing, and I wish continuity for my children and grandchildren. All parents are a bit narcissistic. We love ourselves, and we love it when we see our children carry our legacy and spirit onward into the future.
I'm pretty blown away that a Libertarian is attacking me for having an ego of all things. What ever happened to advocating for the rights of autonomy and identity? Does the right to individualized self-determination not apply to those you deem statist retards?
You are free to do as you please. I called you a retard because I'm getting the same thing from you I get from the right wingers they think I'm a Hillary supporter. I'm blown away you can't have a individual opinion without being accused of being for the other side. I'm not on any politicians side I'm on the people's side. I want your kids and grandkids to have freedom. If you have young children they are going to grow up without any concept of what privacy is that's sad to me. I can't hate antifa without being a Nazi? America is stupid anymore we've been treated like children for so long everyone is acting like a child.
You are free to hate people, call them retards, and make all kinds of wild generalizations and ignorant assumptions about people you have never met. I am free to point out the inaccuracies and contradictions in your narrative. That's what folks like us do in places like this.
My kids will have freedom and privacy if America is stable and prosperous. If America falls into despotism and ruin, my children face unspeakable horror. Check the demographics. Educated people with families vote Democrat because we care about leaving a strong economy and a habitable environment for our children.
And I'm going to quote FDR "presidents are selected not elected". More than likely trump was placed there to piss of the leftys and it's working. Divide and conquer. Such a simple strategy works so well. I don't hate people I just want them to open their eyes to reality but they get so stuck in this left vs right I'm part of the team mindset. Such a false sense of pride it reminds me of when people talk about professional sports and"their team" did this or that And don't give me that educated bs you obviously failed history.
The false equivalence narrative only makes sense if you are too lazy to examine the differences in how the parties legislate. If you follow the money, then cross reference that information against what they have sponsored and voted on, you get a pretty clear picture. Republicans advance the interests of the wealthy and powerful, while Democrats fight for everyone else.
David Icke, Alex Jones, and Jesse Ventura are hucksters and charlatans. They have convinced you that there is some grand conspiracy of evil lizard people controlling all the different governments, businesses, and institutions around the world. I have already been down that rabbit hole, and I can tell you, there aint nothing there. The Council on Foreign Relations really is just a bunch of important people talking about foreign policy. If you play creepy music and speak in a scary voice, you can make anyone look like a monster. The first step to selling someone something is to scare the hell out of them. Next time someone tells you someone is "evil" you should assume they are trying to sell you something.
It's not about good and evil, or capitalism versus socialism. This is about money. Same as it ever was. It's a game. You don't gotta play if you don't wanna. Like I said, participation is voluntary. You can always move to a tax free state and live off the grid. You hating the game. You hating the players. Reach down and grab your nuts, kid. Learn how to play and start scoring points. I'm not necessarily talking about getting a job and being a wage slave either. Start a business. Find a way to make money doing something you enjoy. Make some investments. Be an entrepreneur. If the economy Obama built is strong enough to withstand Trump's incompetence, there's a lot of opportunity out there. Lace up your boots and go get you some.
Your meme disproves your own point. The rich that your referring too are government backed. Certain corporations it doesn't matter how much they fuck up the government will bail them out on your dollar. I'm not a big Jessie fan but I find it funny that you would quote him to support your point then talk shit on him.
