Your certainty in the righteousness of your position is so similar to religion that it's kind of frightening.

As far as others looking around and saying "yeah this is broken" read my posts on opportunity, education and Fortune 500 CEO pay.

You and Kalm decry institutionalized debt and borrowing from the future but you want to expand it to pay to continue with shelter-in-place?

Yes, people are discontent. Some of that discontent is for good reason and some is because they don't understand history, how good they have it, or the opportunities that are there for them if they are willing to work and take some risks to achieve them. Too many people expect things to be handed to them. Entitlement is not specific to age, race, sex, religion, etc.
Well win them over with your ideas then; that's the point of democracy. Show them how your arguments work.

All I see in your post are assumptions that Americans "don't understand history" or "how good they have it" or "the opportunities that are there for them." Do you ever consider that people aren't dumb and understand these things, except they have a different perspective on it?

There's a reason I argue on a message board where I'll likely win none of you over: it's the fact that every idea should be challenged including mine and yours. And if some young football fan is reading this, I want them to come across a perspective they may never have considered before and then decide if it's something they'd like to look further into. Otherwise, they'd get lost in a bubble of similar thoughts.

So want to win people over? First don't assume, and second go argue where your views are mocked. There's certainly a better chance you change someone's view there instead of arguing in a place where your ideas are embraced.
I agree but too many foolish people dismiss the perspective of other, older people with the equivalent of "OK Boomer." There is a lot to be learned from older people and it is foolish to disregard or ignore it. Let that perspective and experience inform and improve your ideas. Unfortunately, some people have made up and closed their minds.

As I posted on the 'Hey Seattle and Portland' thread last Fri:
In Philadelphia the leftists vandalized a statue of a prominent abolistionist Matthias Baldwin, and a monument honoring Union soldiers.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/park- ... r-BB15lTRp

In Boston, its worse- the leftists vandalized a memorial to black soldiers of the 54th Mass Infantry.
https://www.wbur.org/artery/2020/06/03/ ... ls-damaged

As dozens of statues have been defaced/destroyed across the country, its clear these BLM/antifa types have gone from not liking statues of confederates, to not liking statues of any white men who owned slaves, to not liking statues of any white men, to any statues period..
Now:
Philadelphia's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier statue defaced with graffiti: 'Committed GENOCIDE'
https://www.foxnews.com/us/philadelphia ... d-genocide
..peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard..
..But you have to go home now. We have to have peace…
..I know how you feel, but go home, and go home in peace.

Churchill is one of the biggest targets for the UK side of the movement.

Dude was a racist, imperialist, whose policies threw blacks and Arabs into the ghettos after WWII despite them being imported to rebuild the country with the promises of a better life.

Good luck Churchill memorials. :coffee:

He may have been a racist, and was certainly an imperialist, but that should not erase the wisdom of much of his oratory.

If not for him we may be speaking German and saluting the Fuhrer or Emporer.


I don’t believe that I mentioned anything about a Churchill memorial. Where did you come up with that red herring?

You should love Churchill

He helped foment a war almost exclusively between white Westerners

The surge of political and cultural viability of cultures from former colonial states was facilitated by the fact that so many white people killed each other in WWII.
