Dangerpants is right, tho. It's the purchasing power of those incomes that should be examined... not a comparison of relative incomes across the planet. Also the circumstances of the purchasing power. How much of that purchasing is done with credit, which adds another expense - interest accrued - to...

Hold on IC I'm eating one and one half over-priced cheddar melts at a badly managed Arby's. Imma holla atcha tho.

Hold on Quirk I'm eating three over-priced cheddar melts at a badly managed Arby's. Imma holla atcha tho.

Oh no doubt that capitalism was a revolutionary force that spread wealth like wild fire throughout advanced economies. Even ur boy Marx was the first to admit it. But it's time to move forward, sir, and excise those features of society that contribute nothing to the chain of production/distribution,...

Skin pigment is a polygenic attribute... which is expressed as a phenotype. Think of the genotype as a set of genes which produce variation in phenotypes based on allele activity and environmental conditioning (mutation).

"If anybody who wants to change the world is a Marxist, then I don't think I have ever met any non-Marxists." Would you believe that once primitive societies evolved in size and complexity and began to accumulate surplus stock, new divisions of labor occured, creating two new additional ma...

'race' is just a designation for a set of phenotypes within a general species type. And words like 'nationality' and 'ethnicity' are used to describe individuals of this species who are born and/or reside at spot x on the erf. So for example, I draw an imaginary line in the dirt and say 'if you are ...

That's great Henry but it's not 1794 anymore. Government is here to stay.

Your assignment is to design a government of the people, run by the people, for the people. I'll even break out a map and show it to you; the X marx the spot.

Uh oh he's googling numbers now. While you're at it, find out what percentage of Americans are in medical debt and how many have defaulted. Look for debts on auto loans, mortgages, school tuition, credit cards, etc. Find out what percentage of Americans live check to check... and not just because th...

Two words: Clayton Bigsby

This matter is resolved.

I'd certainly not call white people 'evil' as that has religious undertones which might considerably distort the nature of their struggle with their own identity, as well as with their perceived enemies. However, I would concede that given the character of the white race's role in world history... e...

I think he's axing you if we should actively seek out dangers with which we might make ourselves stronger by surviving. I'm reminded of the swedish approach to the covid outbreak a couple years ago. They were into the 'herd immunity' thing where nobody gets vaxxed and they just offer up their weakes...

It has just occured to me that I failed to formally introduce myself to the forum.

My sincerest apologies.

Sorta. It proves that no capitalism can work without a nanny state to come to its aid when it goes full retard. The ace in capitalism's pocket is that because it is responsible for providing employment to the vast majority of citizens, the government is obligated through attrition to support and def...

Is Henry over here still trying to work out his minarchism? Lemme ax you sumthin, Quirk. What happens to public utility development when no capitalist investors find any incentive to invest in them? And what happens when thousands of workers are laid off by big companies when there is no government ...
