Is this the end of liberalism?

[Zkribbler]

Because it interferes with corporate cronyism, which is what they are all about.

I doubt anyone is delusional enough to think that pure free market actually works.

This reminds me of my favorite bit of Marxist philosophy. Chico says of his brother Harpo, "He's honest. You just gotta watch him." Applied here, the free market provides the best and cheapest goods and services to people, you just gotta watch it.

Why do you keep ringing cronyism in relation to the wrong party?

Broh, you should put this on your greatest hits album.

Won't someone think of the poor republican party?!

 

[Sommerswerd]

It's everywhere in conservative doctrine. Take race relations: "We have done everything we can to prevent you from prospering for 400 years! And we're still doing it! What is wrong with you that you can't bootstrap yourself to success?" Labor relations: "We've broken the unions, taken away labor's right to the courts, given your employers nearly unfettered power over you, and shipped millions of your jobs overseas! How could you possibly still need Social Security, Medicare, and food stamps?" How about the national debt: "We've cut taxes on the rich, raised spending for the rich, crashed the economy, and did it all over again! Why don't the Democrats balance the budget?" The Mideast: "We destroyed the enemy of our enemies, put more of our enemies into power in the nations we laid ruin to, backed our enemies in every way available to us! How dare Obama let the situation get out of control!"

I could go on all day, on any issue you care to name. Everything that they do is about not taking responsibility for the consequences of their actions.

I get it... So its "Everybody needs to take personal responsbility for correcting their own mistakes, and my mistakes... except me, cause I don't make any mistakes... my mistakes are your fault."

Thanks

There is no inherent contradiction between what onejayhawk and Cutlass are saying. Essentially, conservative ideology is all about giving everyone the freedom to not take responsibility for their actions.

And they say it is the left whose ideology relies on the inherent goodness of people.

How would that actually be true? It's the ideological umbrella of forced taxation instead of charity, of personal disarmament, of mandatory benefits without empowerment, of morality enforcement in accordance with those benefits, and of rigorous control in general.

 

[onejayhawk]

Besides which, ideology is just the theory. Practice is in the details.

Republican ideology is closer to liberal roots than Democratic ideology. Practice is a different discussion.

I'm not the one who is leveling this accusation

Then I'm just sharing your incredulity.

These SJWs are just spoiled brats. As Frederick Marryat said in his "Midshipman Easy":

Pain and hunger alone will tame brutes, and the same remedy must be applied to conquer those passions in man which assimilate him with brutes.

And as he brilliantly argued in this book, what these wretched creatures need to become decent human beings is a good caning.

Seems your treatment has only broken you my poor friend!

 

[Hygro]

Pain and hunger will tame brutes, so the SJWs gotta bring the pain and hunger to the brutes ;D

Well, if you look videos in the opening post you will see some social justice rogues who are in desperate need to be disciplined. Some pain applied with fatherly love is necessary to make a human out of blabbering rabid SJW, my friend.

You sound like a broken individual my friend.

A you sound like a broken mechanical piano, my dear. Only so much melodies in your repertoire, huh?

I'm not the one complaining about the "SJW", a totally original move by you and all the other internet regressives.

If anything, we can call despicable behaviour of spoiled, irresponsible, half-mad SJWs to be regress of society. Though I understand your hesistation to call SJWs SJWs. They surely do not look like warriors -- more like parrots on high. Let's call them SJPs!
