  • I never said, and I never say, “All Lives Matter.” That’s what stupid conservatives say because they don’t understand that’s exactly the rhetorical trap BLM has set for them in order to call them racists. Please notice I didn’t step in that trap, so don’t shove me into it.
    When it comes to “What belongs on people’s clothes while representing their employer,” BLM and KKK are the same.
    BLM’s message isn’t really “Please stop murduring us.” It’s “You white people are all a bunch of racists.”
    It’s slanderous (which is why it’s offensive), it’s obviously political at a glance, so inherently so that I don’t know how to explain it, and a lot of people don’t go for that shit and a lot of other people do (which makes it divisive).


  • The BLM movement is astro-turfed into existence by scammers, but I do believe that there is a movement with a purpose that arose as a result. However, I think they’re misguided, focusing on race instead of what the real problem is: policing. We have shitty police. They’re ignorant, especially of law, and aggressive, and they’re following bad orders. That’s in the best case. In the worst case, they’re corrupt. It doesn’t just affect black people, it affects everyone. By making it a race issue you divide people by race and eliminate any possibility of getting any redress.
    Yes, black people are disproportionately affected, but they’re easy targets because they’re disproportionately criminal. That’s another thing BLM refuses to address. Why are black people disproportionately criminal? Democrats and the deep state have engineered them to be that way. They bribed fathers out of their homes, sold them crack, promised them free shit, lied to them, and utterly destroyed the black family. They have instantiated the school-to-prison pipeline in inner-city public schools.
    If you really wanted to help black people, you’d tell them the truth. There is a solution and it’s simple but difficult. Two things need to happen:

    1. Keep the family intact. Fathers are necessary and irreplaceable.
    2. Take your kids out of public school. School them at home. Do whatever it takes.
      Do these two things, and the rest of the details surrounding these problems will solve themselves.


  • I’ll spell it out for you:
    It suggests that it needs to be said because there are lots of people who don’t know it. However, everybody knows black lives matter, and it’s an implication that everybody who doesn’t adopt your race ideology is a racist. In reality, those who do are actually racists in denial and are projecting. I and a lot of other people feel this way.
    Then, there are the people who subscribe to your ideology, who think that white people are racist and need to be told to stop being racist, and there are a fair number of people who believe that.
    So, there are a lot of people who think one thing, and a lot of people who think another thing. Shouting your shibboleths in the street that declares your difference highlights the division that exists in society. That is what we call “divisive.”

    Oh, and since this is the first time I see you in this thread, I must say I’m sorry I wasn’t able to divine that you were waiting for an explanation.








  • Also, “the top 1%” doesn’t do nothing. They govern and regulate the business, which is something that has to be done. They take all of the risk. You might like to socialize gains, but you don’t want any part of the losses, do you? Businesses take the majority of the gains, but suffer all of the losses.
    And no, making something does not confer ownership. If I hire you to mow my lawn, you do not then own my lawn, or my lawnmower, or the dirt. You own the consideration I paid to you to mow my lawn. Same with anything else.
    If a business has parts and makes them into products, and a worker takes the parts which are not his and makes a product, that product doesn’t magically become his because he put it together. The paycheck becomes his.


  • Right, that’s the definition in the book, but in practice, for what you find in the comments sections, my description is a better fit.
    If people can’t “own the means of production (which, by the way, every single person does),” then they are not free to associate or trade freely. Where people can associate freely, trade freely, and own property, private businesses get started. Outlawing business necessitates interfering with people’s aforementioned freedoms.
    Also, “kulaks” were a thing. If a farmer was prosperous, he was taken to the cleaners, sometimes killed, and his property taken from him. Communists reek of envy.






  • A “capitalist,” according to socialists, esp. Marxists, is someone who engages in anticompetitive behavior, insider trading, protection racketeering, bribery, and all manner of dubious and criminal behavior.
    Someone who just believes that people should be able to trade freely, associate freely, and keep the vast majority of what they have earned or traded for fairly are routinely called capitalists by socialists and communists to shame them for being successful.
