You have no idea what the poor and rural part of the country is going through if you feel they can simply "stash away" $200 a month for their entire life with not ever touching it. My advice to you would be actually spend some time in rural America and away from your sheltered existence to meet the people of this country sometime.

Or you can recognize that this isn't something entirely unique to America and that its occurring across Western capitalist nations that haven't seen the results of the system benefitting them. Explain to me the rise of alternatives to the typical political parties popping up all over with more than inane theories that are quasi talking points from the "Frankfurt School" conspiracy. It's not simply a resentment of capitalism, it's a resentment of the status quo that haven't netted the average person results they thought were coming. --- |

No one is brainwashing anyone, people who have struggled due to conventional Reganomic style economy want a change from convention. Stagnant wages and losses of jobs have created a culture where people are desperate for something, or someone, to change the system and don't give a damn if that means changing their prior held assumptions.

Topic | More young Americans and Democrats support socialism than capitalism |
The Great Muta 22 08/14/18 1:45:08 PM #23 | Perhaps it has something to do with coming out of college on the heels of the Great Recession into an economy that is still stagnating while workers wages have basically flatlined compared to what our economic growth is showing? Capitalism, and especially the whole Reganomics type, and specifically in the West, hasn't improved the lives of a good number of people which has forced them to look for alternatives. It's the same reason why populism and nationalism in general has been on the rise recently, and ditto for Libertarianism. You basically have an entire generation of people who haven't seen tangible results in conventional capitalism and are begging for a change to the entire system. This isn't even defending any of these alternatives, but it's the most logical response. You tell people for decades that the system they have is the best yet show little to no actual results for the average person, and they'll eventually sneak alternatives. You can only bullshit the masses for so long before they react. --- |

Biased journalists who think they're "right" and wrongly believe they have a duty to "correct" the populace's opinion have been dividing this nation well before Trump got in there. Yet you are still giving him, as well as his legion of supporters who have insulted and mocked "the left" for years well before him, a pass while claiming it's the media and the Democrats fault and who are trying to belittle his supporters. Do you not see how massively hypocritical you're being? --- |

They don't want to see different races of people co-existing. They want social outrage. They want you to utterly hate Trump supporters. They want you to view them as non-human or complete inbred hicks. No Caution, you can't sit here and pretend this is a one sided thing, especially considering Donald Trump is the most divisive jackass in the nation who purposely insults and mocks his opposition and tries to turn everyone against each other. Hell, you don't get to claim that when you support a side that has spent years calling the opposition all sorts of insults, be it SJW, cuck, triggered crybabies, lib****, or the plethora of other insults they've used for the last decade. --- |

That was an obvious ploy though, to anyone watching who followed it prior and leading into it. I mean the fucking banner online, which again I have to say was promoted on The_Donald before the heat got too much the day of the event when they saw Swastikas and they shut it down, was this: ![]() Like come on!, this is fucking courting hardcore neo-nazi and KKK groups --- |

I reworded what I said as it wasn't correct. But basically this rally lacked the legitimacy of the first one. The first was absolutely promoted to all these groups directly as a "Rise of neo-nazism" rally to the 'harder' side of those groups, plus it brought in a lot of the shit posters on places like The_Donald and the chans who didn't know what the fuck they were getting into. Likewise this one was after everyone knew who exactly Jason Kessler was and, for lack of a better word, how fucking soft that dough boy is, and the groups that actually mobilized for Charlottesville just didn't get involved. That's not to say there's not a group of a couple thousand of them out there, just that they don't view Kessler as their leader of anything.

The Great Muta 22 08/12/18 10:32:55 PM #115 | To basically copy my post from 261 about this subject: The fact is you're unlikely to ever see what we saw in Charlottesville ever again, at least not for a few good years. That rally and eventual brawl was the, for lack of a better word, "perfect" string of events to lead to that horrible end result. Basically when the event came to rise a lot of the mainstream appeal of the "alt-right" tag still existed, with many people on this site still identifying as one. The original Unite the Right rally was able to hide their white nationalist roots barely, and along the way ended up recruiting people who actually represented harden neo-nazi groups who have affiliations with the actual Aryan Brotherhood that are in fucking maximum security jail. You then had shit posters from places like /pol/ and the shitholes of the internet like 8chan going out to a "torch rally" around Robert E Lee, chanting all sorts of horrific shit, and hyping everyone up for the next day. Then we get to the rally itself, which was a shitshow of these alt right online dweebs mixed with redneck hate groups and stirred with criminal neo-nazis against a larger crowd of pissed off people against Trump and a police force who didn't give a fuck, and it ended in a brawl and a woman's death. And it also ended with each part of these groups splintering back to the cess pools of society, where they should be shunned and ignored for the losers that they are. The media, from "both sides", are desperate to get another event like Charlottesville because as tragic as it was, controversy sells. And hopefully we never see shit like that again. --- |

Damn_Underscore posted...And where was everyone in this topic when the NFL banned players from kneeling during the anthem?NFL is a private entity / organization. You guys want YouTube to have the right to Censor whatever it wants. The NFL actually doesn't have that right, as the players themselves are unionized and any changes to the CBA, which the kneeling rules would certainly fall into, need to be an agreement between the two sides. Unless you're advocating for a union of content creators on YouTube, this parallel that you guys keep trying to point to isn't an equal comparison. Hence why the changes in policy to force players to stand or remain in the locker room went nowhere and was suspended immediately, and likely will be addressed at the next CBA discussion. Same reason why the NBA is allowed to force compliance, they ALREADY worked it out with their players union because, unlike the NFL, both sides actually get along and are willing to compromise on issues. --- |
