Im just going to say that the acceptance of socialism as a mainstream political ideology has
brought us to where we are. Liberalism? HAH! Contemporary liberalism is just a bunch of college
kids with no real world experience who will call social injustice if someone gives them the time
of day 10 minutes off. This was a long time coming, starting with the new deal and coming to a
crescendo with state ran health care. Now, I will just sit back and watch the great free world
burn. After all, its what the good people want.

America is pretty terrible, but most of his points aren't very good.
And honestly, I don't mind because I'm part of the 1 percent. If people start talking politics
with me, then maybe I'll give them my two cents. But why would I put effort into a system that
benefits me, even i'f like it to be different? I mean, I still wouldn't be able to change it,
even if I tried, because many of the poor, the victims are just as cynical as I am, or ignorant
of the real problems, focused on shallow issues that are perpetuated by the media. In a few
decades, the middle will be feeling it too, maybe then things will actually change.

I don't like how rude he comes off as, but I agree with his facts.
Why can't we just look at nations with similar infrastructure to us that perform better than us
in certain categories and just copy what they do?
e.g. Singapore mathematics; copying the healthcare system of the country/countries with lowest
infant mortality, highest life expectancy, and least waste.
>> [_] Anonymous 06/05/15(Fri)21:09 No.2803038
America is the best country in this world, and this clip is gay as fuck.
First of all, its really fucking shameful to say America isnt the greatest because its not number
one in particular metrics like reading or fetal safety. Thats like saying you love your mom
because she makes the best dinner or something, and that youd love your neighbors mom if she made
better dinners. Anyone who truly loves their country doesnt love it for reasons like superficial
pleasantness of living there.
Second of all, we actually are the free-est country on this planet. Other countries are fine, and
as free as they have ever been, but no other country has the level of freedom America has. The
rights of Americans are better protected than the rights of anyone else in the world.

It would be wise to learn from our peers, but it would be foolish to simply replicate. The

That's why I was saying you'd have to take into consideration things like a nation's
infrastructure, resources, location, and all that when deciding what aspects to emulate. I'm sure
systems could be adapted to better suit our own idiosyncrasies without straight-up copying
outright.

I'd also like to add that we shouldn't be afraid to nix bureaucracies like the Department of
Education, Homeland Security, etc. This kind of talk always upsets people, because it means doing
away with people's jobs who work for those agencies, but I say if the agency isn't measuring up
to what it's supposed to accomplish, kill it. Let those people get jobs in the consumer sector,
actuallyi producing something of value, or at an agency that actually produces a desired result
that's beneficial to the nation as a whole.

You seem like the retarded one, friend. Education hasn't improved significantly by any metric
since the inception of the Department of Education in 1979. I would consider that a failure, and
I would consider the Department of Education a waste of taxpayer money that should be done away
with.
That's what I'm saying.

I agree with you about the Department of Education. I dont think we should have one. But its
retarded that you think you have any real suggestion about getting rid of it.
We dont have departments like the Department of Education to simply facilitate education. Its
like saying the Department of Energy is in charge of powering your house. And even if it did have
some plebian fucking mission like 'Make everyone smarter', shutting it down isnt necessary. If
its mission was important, it would be worth pursuing even if it had a history of failure. The US
used to have a department of war, should that have been shut down if we lost WWII?

Socialism is actually moving back towards slavery and indentured servitude, but instead of being
a slave to an individual, you're a slave to the government? Don't believe me?
Slavery
- little to no income
- free housing
- every need is provided by the master in order to keep slaves and servants working and healthy
- Elderly aren't taken care of as well because they can't work
Socialism
- high taxes mean little to no actual income
- free/heavily subsidized housing
- Every basic need is provided for by the government to keep its citizens healthy and working.
- Poor healthcare for elderly because they aren't of as much utilitarian value

> What about America in the past was so great that he can say "used to be"? The racism and sexism?
People would come here all over the world for an opportunity to have a better life, and they
still do. The problem is that today people and companies don't want or need quality in their
products, no. In today's world, it's all about quantity, with things that are disposable,
especially technology. Sure, it's nice if you're trying to get away from things like the NSA,
but... people just don't care anymore. They used to, though, and it was why America was great.

I more or less agree with this.
Sure America isn't the greatest in some places, but you know what you're easily able to do? Move
to another place in America. It's not so easy going from country to country, and places like
California and the UK are a lot different than places like Alaska and Switzerland.

What? haha, the point that I was making is that they stunt your autonomy in similar ways. Sure,
with socialism you can choose your job, but when 75% of your income is taken in taxes, how much
autonomy can you really have? People don't like Capitalism because it's hard to be successful,
and you can fail sometimes and that makes you feel bad. But that is the price of autonomy. Choice
is a double edged sword. Socialism works off of the principle that if you take away choice,
people will be happier.
