I really need to work on developing superficial charm.

Kids should be reading everything George Orwell wrote, including the non-fiction like Down and Out in Paris and London and Homage to Catalonia so they canât imagine he was a right-wing libertarian.
Itâs titans of industry and families of power, from the Mediciâs to the Vanderbilts, Rockefellers to the Kochs, Waltons, Gates, Bezos, etc. whose insatiable thirst for wealth and influence that are the epitome of corruption.
Fair enough, thanks for the clarification.
What is the value of this generalization? What is being added to any conversation by the assumption that all rich people are bastards and only got there by cheating other people?

Itâs exactly the same as the conspiracy nonsense. I want actual data and facts to rule, not generalization and assumptions.
Clovis is just clovising again.
Clovisian purity tests relate solely to policies that may be disparaging or discriminatory towards the Lucro-American community, whose interests Clovis has long championed.

Sorry for being consistent in wanting to apply logic.
Youâre not disputing any fictions, youâre nitting it up over hyperbole and semantics. You think dumb polemics make you appear smart. Youâre using the same childish âlogicâ that turns ignorant young men into libertarians.

All this terrible shit happening on the daily and here we are again with a Clovis VS The World semantics debate.
The current system will either be reformed, and soon, or itâll collapse and weâll all suffer quite badly. Whether or not individual billionaires are corrupt doesnât matter any more than whether people who die in car accidents deserve it. They have benefited the most from the current system and are the ones who are going to lose the most in the reforms in absolute terms.
Despite that I think they should support the reforms because the alternative would be much worse for them. The alternative carries with it a risk of ruin that approaches 100%. Theyâll be the first people impacted by political violence regardless of whether they âdeserve itâ or not.
Guys like Clovis and me arenât going to lose anything in the reform but a bit of ceiling. We arenât going to become billionaires no matter how hard we work because the window for becoming that rich will have closed within a few years and we arenât close enough to be in range of getting there.
Picketty is right and the inequality bubble is going to pop one way or another and probably before 2030.

Thatâs fucking terrifying.

Might be the most terrifying of his thousands of tweets.
Thought this whole thing started because people want to give the presidents a raise. All we need to do is give a big raise to our presidents and they will cut their speaking fees when they get out of office! They just did not make enough to be comfortable. ugg⌠Iâll believe that when me shit turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbet.
Eh I donât buy it at all. He loooooves talking tough because he likes the idea of being feared and respected, plus probably some fantasy about the citizens of these shithole countries âlovingâ him in some weird Stockholm syndrome kind of way. If he actually dropped a bomb somewhere then he couldnât have that.
He has no empathy. He doesnât see people and actual humans. If he thought it would fain him a single vote he would snap nuke a whole country.

His entire attitude toward foreign policy is predicated on âWhat will win me a Nobel Peace Prize?â because Obama won it.

What Iâm hoping here is that heâs as big of a pussy when it comes to war as he is when it comes to firing people.
Thereâs one big problem with my hope. First, he is absolutely a pussy when it comes to firing people, so he has other people do it for him. So the obvious argument is that since heâll be having other people fight his war, he wonât think twice about declaring a preemptive one. I get that.
Iâm hoping heâs just acting alpha because we know heâs really a cuck.
But with that said, if thereâs ever any kind of terrorist attack against America, I have no doubt heâll nuke the planet into oblivion.
