You are so blind it is sadly pathetic. After everything that has taken place over the last two years, you're still caught up in the stupid "Blue" vs. "Red" paradigm. Honestly, it just shows just how out of touch, brainwashed, and clueless you are. You show it nearly daily. You should really stop and evaluate what you *think* you know and open your eyes.Bob Butler wrote: ↑Fri Dec 03, 2021 10:09 amCollectivism would be working for the group rather than working for yourself. I see selfishness peaking with the S&H unravelling, while working for the country is common in the crisis. It is cyclical. There are advantages and times for each, but the strong Ideals of America came in the crises... Kings and colonial imprialism were quashed in the Revolution. Slavery and preventing expansion were killed in the Civil War. The government regulating the economy and US involvement in containment came with FDR's time.Cool Breeze wrote: ↑Thu Dec 02, 2021 2:21 pmThose who rely on collectivism, that is, unhealthy central authoritarian collectivism, are losers. That's why they do it. You can bet your ass if you met guys like bish in real life you'd see just how much of a pussy they really are. He could be nice, but since he can't truly compete with the real world he virtue signals via the collective (since he doesn't believe in anything) to suggest that he's a "good" person and tries to do the same to get in girls pants, who ultimately can't stand him, anyway. They've been doing this stuff for years and it's quite clear it's all a scam for losers and the elites only allow it until it doesn't work anymore (coming soon to a theater near you).
These are not scams and are being continued. Do you see us being treated as a colony, slavery returning, or a return to isolation? I see selfish gifts from the government to the elites as being typical of the unravelling selfishness. It has its time and purpose but I am disgusted by it.
And I believe in the above and more. The Republicans have been embodying obstructionism, in not solving problems. Covid, structural racism, infrastructure, the environment, they have found reasons to not solve the problems we are facing. Recognizing and solving such problems are what you do in a crisis. I can see people enthralled by racism. I can see wanting small government and low taxes that result from ignoring problems. But the problems are real and are going to be solved. As usual, the conservative memes of leaving the culture unchanged, the problems unsolved, are apt to fade and be shunned.
