Killing humanity's stupidest ideas here in the public square, so that those ideas don't kill us when we try to implement them in the real world.

Capitalism is the protection of private property and voluntary exchange.
That means if you want more, you produce more, trade more, save more, invest more, or persuade others to voluntarily deal with you.
The systems that make people fight each other aren't the ones based on ownership. They're the ones based on redistribution.
When government takes from one group to give to another, politics becomes a battle over who gets looted and who gets the loot.
That's why under capitalism people compete to create value.
Under redistribution, people compete for political power.

For shits and giggles, I decided to see just how hard it would be to replace my birth certificate, Social Security card, AND my marriage license, since Democrats think women are too stupid to figure it out.
Here's how it went:
1. Birth certificate: Contacted the health department of the county where I was born. They OVERNIGHTED a certified copy to me the next day - total cost, $14.
2. SS Card: Contacted Social Security on their site. They asked if I was sure I needed the card, since I 'won't likely be asked for it.' I went ahead and got it - took five business days to arrive - total cost, $0.
3. Marriage License: Went to the 'vital docs' site of the county where we were hitched. Filled everything out online, arrived in three days - total cost, $5.
It cost less than $20 to obtain all three certified/legal documents, and it took less than five business days to receive them. Note: if I had lived where I was born or married, it would have been a day. Tops.
Anyone telling you this is too hard or unfair is lying and hiding the real reason they want to stop Voter ID.
I know you guys knew that already... lol

I believe, as a patriot, that it's always 100% illegal to impede federal law enforcement.
If you're doing civil disobedience as an act of patriotism, that's fine and I support your effort to do that peacefully even if think you're wrong on the merits. as I do with the people obstructing ICE right now. My criticism is that if you're doing non-violent resistance, taking a gun with you confuses that message and makes the situation entirely more chaotic than it should be if PEACEFUL protest is your goal.
If you're trying to intimidate ICE because you think you're on the right side of the law and they're on the wrong side, that's also fine. But if it escalates and you don't want to die, when the cops come to arrest you, you obey every command and then fight it after the fact in the courts. Billions of dollars have been made that way in Civil Rights lawsuits.
And if you really think the tree of liberty needs to be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots at this moment in history, then by all means go for it. That's what our country was founded on.
But say it with your whole fucking chest and don't be a pussy about it. Don't do a bunch of DARVO baiting the cops to shoot you for being a dipshit and then call the cops tyrants because they responded in a predictable fashion to your armed agitation.
Do the fucking Revolution. Let everybody pick which side of history they want to be on, and let's fucking go. If it's going to happen because you think half the country is an enemy that you can't share a country with anymore, then do it on my watch so that my kids can have a generation of peace after you and I are finished killing each other for no good fucking reason.

Didn't look like it was 500 feet to me.
And yes. Intentionally blocking traffic in front of law enforcement is a fucking felony.
We are done playing these narcissistic DARVO "I'm not touching you" games with felonious subversive shitlibs, just because you want to replace the existing voting population with a permanent underclass that votes for Democrats in exchange for free shit because you know that actual Americans are NEVER going to put you in power again after what you have done over the last 10 years.
The only way to stop narcissist manipulators is to establish boundaries. You don't get to be totalitarians when you're in power, and you don't get to be anarchists when you're out of power.
The rest of us have the right to live in a civilized high trust society. The more you prove that you're incompatible with that society, the more you turn this into a situation where we can't share a planet with you anymore.

That cartoon confuses “houses exist” with “the hard cases vanish”. A spare inventory of homes is not a conspiracy; it is what abundance looks like in a system with mobility, renovation cycles, seasonal demand, second homes, investment risk, and properties in the wrong place for the jobs that exist. Vacant does not mean usable, and it certainly does not mean “owned empty to murder the poor”.
Communism does not eliminate the problem; it eliminates the ability to refuse the state’s solution. The homeless are not magically housed; they are compelled, relocated, institutionalised, or “re-educated”. The pretty picture of universal housing comes with the ugly machinery: allocation by permission, surveillance, coercion, and punishment for noncompliance. There is always housing “for everyone” if you are willing to force everyone into whatever the planner deems acceptable.
And yes, the housing is often a shoebox, overcrowded, and rationed, because when price signals are suppressed you replace them with quotas. Families double up. Units are assigned. Waiting lists grow. Dissent becomes a housing problem. The claim is not just that everyone gets a roof; it is that everyone gets the roof they want, where they want, when they want. That is the lie.
Capitalism does allow people to make destructive choices. That is not a defect; it is the cost of treating adults as adults. You do not fix addiction and collapse by pretending scarcity is a moral failure of landlords. You fix it with treatment, enforcement against predation and disorder, and communities that stop rewarding self-destruction with excuses.
Homelessness is not one thing. Some people are priced out, some are mentally ill, some are addicted, some are violent, some are transient, some are escaping abuse, some are simply broken. The cartoon needs a single villain, so it picks “capitalism”. Reality is messier, and it does not become kinder when you hand it to a state that can compel obedience.

They were socialists because the substance of their system, not the branding, was socialism.
Not the egalitarian, kumbaya version socialists fantasize about. The real thing. The thing that happens every time:
• The state directs production
• The state decides winners and losers
• The state controls prices, wages, and labor
• The state dissolves private judgment in favor of a political plan
• The individual reduced to a tool of “the people,” “the nation,” or “the collective”
Call it “national,” call it “international,” call it “people’s,” or slap a swastika or a hammer-and-sickle on top, the mechanism is the same. A command economy. Central planning. Coercion dressed up as morality.
Nazis didn’t need to nationalize every business to be socialist. They did what every socialist state ends up doing: they kept nominal private ownership but stripped it of meaning. You owned the factory the same way a man “owns” his house under the mafia. On paper. Until the boss tells you otherwise.
Socialists hate this comparison because it exposes the shared DNA they’d rather hide. They want you to think socialism only counts when it’s wrapped in their preferred aesthetic. But political-economic systems aren’t defined by vibes. They’re defined by power.
The Nazis were racist collectivists. The communists were class collectivists. Both crushed individual rights in favor of state-planned unity.
Different slogans. Same operating system.
That’s why it’s called national socialism, not because of the name, but because the state had the same total control over the economy and the individual that every form of socialism demands.
If the meme-maker wants to pretend urinal cakes are edible because the name says “cake,” that’s their business. But the Nazis didn’t just have the word “socialist” in the title. They had the structure, the policy, and the philosophy.
And it’s the structure that matters, not the flavor.

The US has not invaded any country to directly steal its oil, as resources post-intervention remain under sovereign control and sold on global markets. In Iraq (2003), oil fields weren't expropriated; Iraqi state firms managed them, awarding contracts to international bidders including non-US companies. While oil interests influence geopolitics, evidence shows no systematic US theft—veterans' sacrifices stem more from prolonged conflicts than resource plunder.

That post is a perfect case study in Marxist inversion, blaming capitalism for the very poverty it has done more than anything in human history to eliminate.
The so-called “extraction” they’re talking about is trade, not theft. The global south trades raw materials for goods, technology, and investment. That exchange has raised living standards, increased lifespans, and reduced global poverty by over 80% since 1980, the period of greatest global market expansion.
If “capitalism kills,” it does so in the same way that oxygen kills: by keeping you alive long enough to die of something else. Before industrial capitalism, everyone lived in the kind of poverty this meme blames on markets, starvation, disease, 30-year life expectancy.
What actually kills is the absence of capitalism: when governments block trade, confiscate property, and centrally plan economies. Every socialist experiment proves it, from Mao’s famine to Venezuela’s collapse.
Capitalism didn’t create the global poor. It’s the only system that’s ever given them a path out.

Fortunately hatred for communism mostly isn’t based on what people say about it, it’s based on what communists do. Every time the ideology is tried it delivers exactly what its fundamentals predict: censorship, rationing, surveillance, the abolition of property rights, and the violent suppression of anyone who refuses to “cooperate.” You don’t need propaganda to know your enemy when its victims number in the tens of millions. The record speaks louder than the slogans.

There are two main reasons why your "well-crafted" arguments don't work.
1. People can see the outcomes of Capitalism and the outcomes of Communism and see that Capitalism has better outcomes.
You can say whatever you want. People can see the satellite images of North and South Korea at night.
They see which side people ran away from when the Berlin wall fell.
They can see Poland buying every weapon they can get their hands on because they don't want to get the band back together with Russia.
2. The philosophy based on the idea that the only truth is that which advances the revolution expos3s its self as bullshit over time.
People see that your story changes constantly about your justifications for power, and all of those arguments prove themselves false over time.
Even for the average person who isn't educated about Marxist critical theory doctrine and its pathological treatment of the concept of truth, people see that the class warfare argument in America just doesn't hold water because we have too much social mobility for that argument to stick.
Then you switched to feminism and people addressed all of the reasonable issues women had, but then you kept going through all these multiple waves of radical feminism because every problem society solved without Communism forced you to go find a new problem that supposedly only Communism can solve.
Then you dug up racial conflict and the same cycle hapoened. We did the Civil Rights movement and affirmative action and everything you can think of, but you still tell black people that America hates them that tearing fown the system is the knly solution. Now most black people are just tellj g you to go fuck yourself because they are tired of being used as pawns.
Then you go to radical gender ideology and that ideology sucks. People can see how destructive that ideology is to the people you trick into adopting it.
And you never stop. People can see that the radical left never just takes yes for an answer and accepts rational progressive experimentation and slow steady progress that fixes what's broken while preserving what works.
You lost, But not for the reason you think. It's not because people aren't paying attention. It's because we have listened to you and done everything possible to solve every problem you've ever used as an excuse to tear down the system, and we have simply come to the realization that the issue is never the issue for you.
You don't actually want any of the problems you talk about solved. You literally just want the millions dead in your bloody, violent revolution so that you can rule over the ashes while pretending the hellscape you created isn't your fault.

I'm seeing a lot of videos like this on social media. Young adults are getting red-pilled by the millions after September 10th, and the demonic response to it from the radical left.

1. I reject the premise that "powerful nationalism" is dangerous at all. Every society that has ever existed thinks it's the best. Those that don't collapse and disintegrate. Confusing national pride with ultranationalistic hatred of other countries is the number one stupid thing leftist shitlibs do that makes them a threat to society. Hating your country is not a moral good.
2. The only people with disdain for human beings are leftists who murder the unborn, think of illegal immigrants as their rightful pool of cheap labor, think of minorities as their helpless dependent property who can't survive without them, and think of everyone who disagrees with their policies as subhuman threats to democracy who deserve to be publically executed.
3. There is no unifying cause on the left like the hatred of MAGA based on lies and stereotypes that haven't been true about Southern whites since they stopped voting for Democrats 60 years ago.
4. Support for the military is a function of basic healthy nationalism. The actual fascist tendency is belief in the supremacy of the state, and the right of the central government to impose a social utopia through force of arms.
5. There is no sexism like that which exists in the feminist movement against all forms of masculinity, and against women who embrace marriage and having kids.
6. The left has held a stranglehold on the mass media since the 60's. It's only after the internet democratization rhe flow of information and gave people a choice that the right has been able to build successful media enterprises. The free market of information is literally the opposite of fascism.
7. Leftist shitlibs are the ones who want to take all the guns in the name of public safety. Conservatives want enough guns in public hands to overthrow the government if necessary.
8. The right respects the separation of church and state. The left wants their fabricated religion of woke to permeate every aspect of the government, as evidenced by the entire Biden administration.
9. Fascism protects corporate power by merging the power of the state and corporations. Conservatives prefer free markets with minimal governemnt intervention where the consumer picks winners and losers in the marketplace. Both parties are shit about bailing out i dustries but the Democrats blowing trillions of dollars with green subsidies dwarfs anything Republicans do.
10. Trump won the union vote. Democrats are the ones depressing wages by importing the entire third world.
11. Conservatives respect intellectuals that are actually correct about things, and art that is actually good.
12. Protecting the victims of crime more than you protect cri.inals is not "obsession with crime and punishment". The fascist iteration of that obsession is using the law as a political weapon targeting one's political opposition, making every lame excuse to prosecute enemies while making every lame excuse not to prosecute allies.
13. Green policy and the mountain of left-leaning NGO's dwarf anything that exists on the right.
14. pure projection coming from the left.
