I can guarantee you that nobody who still watches Saturday Night Live has read a non-young-adult-fiction book in the past 10 years.

Also, when the liberals do their January 6th, it will be so fucking funny.

Here’s a list of all 20 people previously expelled from the House and Senate, and their reasons for being expelled (mostly during the Civil War).

quantum mechanics literally revealed that the world is not loaded when you are not looking

I don’t know where you got that info, but that is not at all what quantum mechanics says. If you want a deep dive into what quantum mechanics actually says, here’s a good video series from PBS by a real physics professor that explains it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wxG5KMAFik&list=PLsP…

… Do you think workers in a car factory don’t get paid until someone actually buys the car they helped build? All the devs have already been paid!

Where is this imperial core you keep mentioning?

Probably start with where all the giant battleships come from: businessinsider.com/magnitude-of-us-naval-dominan…

Why does the USA need all those battleships if they’re not doing imperialism? Are they just cosmetic battleships? Just for shits and giggles?

I was answering his question, not trying to be hostile. I did not insult him at all. Just voicing my opinion.

The constant revamping of the production process, the uninterrupted disturbance of all social conditions, and the everlasting uncertainty and agitation of society distinguish the bourgeois era from all earlier ones. All fixed, fast-frozen relationships, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices and opinions, are swept away. All new-formed relationships become outdated before they can solidify. All that is fixed melts into air, all that is sacred is profaned, and people are at last compelled to face with sober senses their real conditions of life, and thier relations with each other.

-Some guy, in some manifesto, in 1848

one of these states is an authoritarian piece of shit, and it’s definitely not Taiwan.

Tell that to the indigenous people of Taiwan. I bet they’d love to hear about how they genocide was “non-authoritarian”.

Markets have brought more people out of poverty than anything.

Yes, just like the Irish people who were “helped” by the free market in the 1840s. Or the Indian people who were “helped” by the free market in the late 1800s. You might be interested in this book by the late, great Mike Davis which completely refutes your ideas with hard evidence that the free market can be used (and has been used) as a tool of genocide: www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/7859

Lib - “Markets make everything cheaper, which is good.”

Leftist - “But if there is a labor market, won’t that make labor cheaper?”

Lib - “Yes, and that is good.”

Leftist - “How is that good?”

Lib - “It leads to more profits.”

Leftist - “But why is it good to have more profits?”

Lib - “Because a good country is when corporations make profits, and the more profits the corporations make, the gooder the country is.”

I think it is important to take a critical look at past tragedies

Those who care more about past tragedies than current tragedies don’t care at all. They’re just looking for some excuse to feel self-righteous.

I’m not even sure MLK ever explicitly considered himself a socialist.

Well then.

“I am much more socialistic in my economic theory than capitalistic.” - Martin Luther King Jr.

“Today, capitalism has out-lived its usefulness.” - Martin Luther King Jr.

“Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country.” - Martin Luther King Jr.

“We must see now that the evils of racism, economic exploitation and militarism are all tied together.” - Martin Luther King Jr.

“The evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and evils of racism.” - Martin Luther King Jr.

“If America does not use her vast resources of wealth to end poverty and make it possible for all of God’s children to have the basic necessities of life, she too will go to hell.” - Martin Luther King Jr.

It says a lot about the education system wherever you come from that you never learned MLK was a socialist. He HATED capitalism! Hated it! Also, the scientist Albert Einstein was a prominent socialist who wrote a famous article, “Why socialism?” explaining in detail why he was a socialist. Einstein and MLK believed in the same anti-capitalist struggle. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Why_Socialism%3F
