US Election 2020 - The Result

[DreamKing]

I was referring to the difference between authoritarian and democratic, which is why I used the compass reference. I didnt know you would be confused. My bad.

I do realize its hard to discuss this topic with people who think social welfare and marxism are related or the same thing.

social welfare and marxism are highly related but not the same.

but unfortunately, if handle incorrectly, social welfare country will become a communism / socialist country very easily.

eg venezuela

I doubt our boy rambo has read any Solzhenitsyn, I'd bet he only knows this book exists because of the abridged edition the right wing twat Peterson wrote the foreword to. If he had - and that's a big if - read even the abridged version (or, more fittingly, the Reader's Digest condensed version for kids), he'd know that the book is a critique specifically of authoritarianism, not of Leninist communism.

Venezuela, another example of authoritarian socialism. Every shitty example you can imagine. Will be AUTHORITARIAN socialism. All AUTHORITARIAN governments pretty much suck (unless its one of those middle east oil countries).

I know of no modern social welfare states that are "communist". Its not like suddenly Canada and Sweden are about to slip behind the iron curtain or anything.

The 1960's called and wants its faux domino theory back.

When I visited Vietnam I remember at Mao's tomb they had a picture of a guy pushing a small domino, that knocked another slightly bigger domino and so on. These dominos went around in a giant circle until a really large domino fell on the person who started it.

The military tend not to appreciate being lead by a f.ckwit - and military training tends to sharpen the mind when it comes to BS and f.ckwit detection

Another thing the Orange Snollygoster shares with his African Dicktator counterpart Zupta.

Hahaha yeah because a person who wants to ban all air travel and revert to trains is someone who should be in power....

You do realise spouting fake news just makes you look ignorant and a little stupid?

'Green New Deal' Doesn't Call for 'End' to Air Travel - FactCheck.org

A resolution before Congress outlining actions to address climate change prompted the misleading claim that the deal aims to "end" air travel and "build trains over the oceans."

you lefties really are blinded to reason and just go on feels...

And you are blinded by your hatred for everything reasonable, decent and normal.

What is going on with this thread?
A race to 10 000 posts?

I think you're right, maybe trying to get a new thread titled "Joe Biden defeats Trump to win US election".

We'd have been there already if it wasn't for so many of @SoldierMan posts in this thread being deleted.

Bwahahaha you lot actually think you represent everything reasonable, decent and normal You are so blind.

An “overview” of the resolution that was provided to NPR, for example, pledged to “begin work immediately on Green New Deal bills to put the nuts and bolts on the plan described in this resolution.” The outline included this about infrastructure and industrial projects: “Totally overhaul transportation by massively expanding electric vehicle manufacturing, build charging stations everywhere, build out high-speed rail at a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary, create affordable public transit available to all, with goal to replace every combustion-engine vehicle.” (Italic emphasis ours.)

It's in the very article you quoted....

Then not only that but she wants to replace EVERY combustion engine vehicle. Quick question, who the heck is going to pay for all those cars to be replaced? Would you be happy if they done that in SA and you were forced to buy an expensive electric car?

Same way they do it everywhere else in the world, through incentives.

One sunny day in January 2021 an old man approached the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue, where he'd been sitting on a park bench. He spoke to the U.S. Marine standing guard and said, "I would like to go in and meet with President Trump." The Marine looked at the man and said, "Sir, Mr. Trump is no longer President and no longer resides here." The old man said, "Okay", and walked away.

The following day, the same man approached the White House and said to the same Marine, "I would like to go in and meet with President Trump." The Marine repeated, "Sir, as I told you yesterday, Mr. Trump is no longer President and no longer resides here."
The man thanked him and, again, just walked away. The third day, the old man approached the White House and spoke to the very same U.S. Marine, saying again, "I would like to go in and meet with President Trump." The Marine, understandably irritated at this point, looked at the man and said, "Sir, this is the third day in a row you've been here asking to speak to Trump. I've told you each time that he's no longer the President and no longer resides here. Don't you get it?" The old man looked at the Marine and said, "Oh, I understand. I just love hearing it."
The Marine snapped to attention and said, "See you tomorrow, Sir."

LOL 200 million people are going to have the money to switch to electric (which are much more expensive that petrol cars) given the state the economy is in. You leftist will defend any crazy thing if your leaders deem it so.
