You don't have children. But you have mentioned some nieces/nephews in the past. What do you envision their lives being like?

Since I just live in the now, I only see them in the now, what the future holds, I cannot predict, other than everybody gotta die sometime that is, but other than that, Netflix n' chill, even if doom was upon us, nothing you could do about it, and Dinosaurs do not worry about that which is beyond their control.

Optimistic Nihilism, remember? Don't just say it, live it, all day everyday, in the now, like there is no tomorrow, because there might not be, but even if there isn't, cross that bridge tomorrow, no need to cross it in the now.

I like the philosophy, but I'll keep building up my food supply and skills. I can't tell the kids that I just didn't want to try.

Whatever helps you sleep at night. Me, I sleep like a baby already, my only real concern in life, is where the Toronto Maple Leafs are going to find a top pairing defenseman with a two way heavy game, other than that, life is a peach.

So Smitty could give a shit about the future...

He's here for the nows.

I guess redistribution is the only game in town...

Lots of arguments against it... but no real alternatives.... other than helicopters.

[Okeefenokee]

Seriously, this mandatory class of yours is taught by a small, drooling, half-naked man in a straitjacket who barks out loud when he isn't squatting down to eat his own poop, isn't it? Please, please, say that it is... Or at the very least, please don't tell me that the lecturer somehow achieved any degree in history. Please?

Tonight's reading was the DOI, so I can't wait to see what I learn tomorrow.

Okay, here's some arguments for why democracy wasn't real democracy.

• majority rule is tyranny, and democracy isn't tyranny
  
  representative gov't benefits groups, and that's not what democracy is about
  
  voting isn't democratic

I shit you not.

Sounds like you strawmanned the shit out of whatever he was saying, same as you do here.

Those are his words, faggot. He wrote it on the board. The kids believe it.

That wasn't true communism. True communism has never been tried.

That wasn't true socialism. True socialism has never been tried.

That wasn't true democracy. True democracy has never been tried.

Hey, I pay all my taxes, I'm redistributing like a muthahfuckah up in here, so long as Her Majesty rules, the socialist nanny welfare state has the protection of the Crown, I'm a Monarchist Red Tory not a Republican,

Dieu sauve la Reine.

All three of those are true, in some sense. You're extrapolating a whole mess of other things, but at a low level, they're functionally true.

A pure manifestation of ideals can't exist in the real world. He's just trying to get some freshmen to think beyond grade school. Nothing more. Stick around after class some time, and discuss it with him.

I think I know more than you about what's going on in the class, since I'm there and you're not.

Those three statements weren't from the class, just the last one. The first two are standard fare from people pushing commie bullshit, and trying to distance it from the blood soaked soil those same systems left in their wake. No one is here is unfamiliar with the patent horseshit that those statements are trying to push.

The no true democracy canard is being hauled out to refute the words of the founders who wrote against democracies. It's an attack on hierarchy and fitness. The statement has been made multiple times now that everyone is qualified to run a society, and that knowledge is not a necessary component of reason.

Called it. Strawmanning the shit out it.

You didn't call shit, faggot.

Here, let me hold your hand and walk you through this, you brain dead fucking retard.

This is taken directly from the board,

• majority rule is tyranny, and democracy isn't tyranny
  
  representative gov't benefits groups, and that's not what democracy is about
  
  voting isn't democratic

This is the message being argued,

That wasn't true democracy. True democracy has never been tried.

These are the messages we've heard before,

That wasn't true communism. True communism has never been tried.

That wasn't true socialism. True socialism has never been tried.

And here was your response,

All three of those are true, in some sense.

Hack bitch lefty idiot.

[SuburbanFarmer]

I can tell you’re going to do great in school.

[Hanarchy Montanarchy]

So long as Parliamentary Supremacy rules, the lefty wefties enjoy the protection of the Crown, unhorse and unhead that at your own peril, once you tip the apple cart, all bets are off, and if Smitty Pincohet don't get you then, then Smitty Koba will.

I believe the argument is that the apple cart is in peril of tipping over from its own momentum and lack of ballast.

I believe that is hysteria vastly overwrought

I agree with this, all the way. Furthermore, very much want it to be true, having stumbled into the global 1% myself without ever needing to do a single day of actual hard work.

It is a good system.

Unfortunately, it is a system that requires consumers to function, and consumers require currency. Even if we aren't ever going to let the greasy-fingered peasant own any capital, they still need something.
