American Politics Thread VI: Can't We All Just Get Along?

[The Jamesian Republic]

Nah, they just plan to strip funding from any school that is engaging in too much wrongthink, aka not using Fox News as their primary source for all curriculum.

With any luck, students will organize to mess up their results so Tallahassee is left with a useless report that says 95% of all university students support ISIS.

That would be interesting.

It sounds like something they would do.

I’m curious who you mean when you speak of ‘elite leftists’ and their purported payroll depredations.

Every corporate elite that is voting for the Democrats does not genuinely support reform and instead fuels ethnic conflicts and supports the donor class.

And who are they?

[Lady Victory]

because libertarians endorse things like selling heroin to children and the repeal of the civil rights act lmao

Tbf that is exceptionally based, you have to respect it even if it's nuts.

No, I really don't.

If you eliminate the government, how do you punish corporations?

I don't call for government elimination, I call for government weakness in the form of lessening taxation and repealing laws that are oppressive in nature and serve to benefit corporations. If the government has less money, that means corporations will lose a major form of help in government bailouts. If we lessen taxation for poor and middle class, this means they gain more money instead of the wealthy class.

Weakening it to the point of being a nuisance is basically elimination.

Lessoning taxes? They are at an all time low and you want them reduced further?

What oppressive laws?

So your argument is weaked government means the corporations are going to make less money? Seriously? Wait are you one those completely free market types.

Do you seriously think all the crap companies have done through the years is because the government made them do it?

Baffling how people still think it's the Dems that are in the pocket of Corporate America even after the GOP elected a literal millionaire businessman.

Billionaire. He really is worth a billion dollars, believe me. It's tremendous.

/s

In all seriousness, they're both corporate puppets. Democrats aren't as bad on that front and are better on things like healthcare, so it is ridiculous for him to pretend that they're the evil ones with the GOP being worse and pretty much losing it, but both aren't winning any awards from me.

As former President Trump starts his "revenge tour" of rallies against challengers to House members who voted to impeach him, some Republicans are worried that he'll do to the House what he did to Georgia Senate candidates.

Mhm… how very ‘both sides’ of you.

Got an answer to my previous query, yet?

Not really.

Democrats give you a wedgie in front of your crush while Republicans stab you in the gut and steal your wallet.

Both US parties receive loads of donations from Corporate America. Heck, companies sometimes donate to both parties simultaneously.

Taxation is legalized theft, and should be minimized as much as possible. Oppressive laws are PATRIOT Act etc and I had intended to separate the sentence to differentiate oppressive laws and laws that only benefit corporations (such as Interstate Income Act of 1959). I am an advocate for a very free market, as a free market will enable innovation and employment, and allow every American citizens to exercise their full creativity. And no, I believe all the craps governments do is because corporations make them do it. Without the government helping them with bailouts and taxation laws that allow them to pay less than the average civilian, corporations will be far more careful, because there will soon be more competition.

Well they are both part of the same Capitalist's Party but one is more socially liberal than the other, that's all.

Meh. More of one is just a watered down version of the other.

But it is. Right-wing populism is populism because it’s the idea that average everyday people are under attack by a group of elites. The “elites” are just a different group of people when compared to left-wing populism.

Everyday people are under attack by elites. This is an objectively true fact.

Populists do view this as a “objectively true fact”. My point is that right-wing populists are still populists because they argue that everyday people are under attack by elites. Just because they have a different view on who the elites are does not mean they’re not populists.

Yes so is corporate profit, which steals far more of your labor than the government taxes does.

NSG's anarcho-capitalist phase ended like 6-7 years ago. You're way behind.

I remember when I was an ancap. I think a lot of people go through a libertarian/ancap phase. Too bad that a lot of them turned into literally nazis.

The difference between the two is that buying from corporations is voluntary, while paying your taxes is mandatory. If you don't like the corporate product, stop paying for it. If you don't like the government product, tough luck, you're paying anyway.
