There are many people who think you cannot be wise unless you subscribe to their ideology or believe in their god.

No one wants to think there might be someone wiser than themselves.

There's no point in arguing with Bolsheviks like Monty.

There's no point in arguing with anyone.

There's nowhere to go, there's nothing to talk about.

The left wing kooks will blow themselves up eventually.

There's nothing to do about it but wait them out.

We really need to focus on the youth to save as many as possible to blunt the impact of liberal extinction.

The Liberals are simply exploiting it for a money grab.

It's not a carbon plan, it's a tax plan.

They're making war on the private sector in the name of Eco Bolshevism.

You need a war chest to ride it out.

I also pick and choose which comforts I really want and which ones I don't need.

Travel, no need. Air conditioning however I am going to retain.

The current rich are immune to Marxism.

I'm caught right in the trap, I'm too wealthy to be "poor" but I'm not rich enough to laugh off massive tax increases.

I am trapped in the closed city of Gorky.

I just make the best of it, by carefully choosing which middle class lifestyle expenses are essentials and which can be jettisoned.

Certainly any sort of traveling, going out, spending money on entertainments, that's all easily jettisoned.

My property is my recreation. That's where I spend the money.

My yard is in fact so big I could honestly spend most of my time doing yard work.

But I never had a yard before, this is recreation to me now.

It's like Marty says because of his upbringing he doesn't like comforts.

But I've already lived in the cockroach infested basement apartments.

I've already lived where the junkies shoot up in the alley.

I've already lived like a hobo out of a rucksack.

Been there, done that.

This American middle class lifestyle is all new to me, and I'm quite enjoying it actually.
