    Every time I read something like this I think about all my rich friends in Silicon Valley who engage in armchair socialism. Gives me a good chuckle. ^.^

    > Your summarization of Marxism as an appeal to jealousy is a reductionist joke. It's common sense. At best, people will support a system where wealth is distributed without regard…

    Every leftist revolutionary thinks that they'll be the one to finally achieve "real communism" and create an egalitarian paradise. It always seems to end up in pogroms though. I th…

    I took a look at their sub. I couldn't find any hate speech (though I ignored heavily downvoted comments). I'm also suspicious of "coded hate speech" since that concept grants lice…

    Not long friend. Our campuses reflect a growing antipathy toward free speech.[1] Whatever starts there usually ends up in the courts. I've become convinced that the American left i…

    Our culture is unique. Mass relocation will probably destroy it. My own dream is to invest some of my earnings back home to prevent that from happening. Our people will probably ne…

    I'm from Kentucky as well. An earmark by Mitch McConnell secured funding for my first job out of university (WKU). He did good work for us in Bowling Green at least. That said, I d…

    Being a distinguished engineer at Google is definitely elite. Only a tiny fraction of its 30k employees hold that title and it probably draws a salary in the 1-2% range.

    America has a lot of pent up energy right now. It's a good time to rewatch Les Deplorables. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMYNfQlf1H8

    It's enough to help tens of thousands of families and revitalize their communities (they'll be spending most of their earnings somewhere). In Appalachia that could make a huge impa…

    Stuff like this is happening more and more these days => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3R6dzZdceT4 (protestors blocking only white and asian people from crossing a bridge).

    I was involved in an LGBT club for a bit, doing activism and such. Every person involved who wasn't LGBT was called an ally. Some people saw allies in a positive light while other …

    We've been headed toward one party statehood for awhile. The American project has failed. "Democratic politicians are the ruling class’s prime legitimate representatives and that b…
