@redeemed_zoomer@conservmillen Do you think they were using "unsafe" as a euphemism for "logically incoherent;" in other words, you pointed out their mistakes?
@LaGrecca333 He hasn’t lost anything. He’s right. What he doesn’t yet know but is about to learn is the obtuse, parochial gossip loser culture of Massachusetts. This is the new Karen Read trial, and Massachusetts simpletons will be thrashing about it for the next 15 years.
@BuzzardGroyper@ItIsHoeMath@peterrhague When I see behaviors like this, I ask myself “what would a man armed with a Colt revolver in Stockton, California in 1848 do in response to this behavior?“
BREAKING: 4,500 nurses with @MassNurses are on strike at Brigham and Women's Hospital and with MGB, demanding a fair contract to fund patient care now. This is the largest healthcare strike in MA state history.
@DrInsensitive@pmarca Why can’t these increases be caused by market distortions from government spending? After all, government spending is huge in education and healthcare.
Like many others, I have been alarmed by the success of certain politicians in our country who identify as extreme socialists or communists.
This is not a matter of classical liberals triumphing over standard-issue conservatives; this is the victory of people who stand athwart the fundamental principles that undergird our country.
There are many reasons why I detest Communism, but I want to draw attention to just one issue of supreme importance.
Karl Marx said that the first critique is the critique of religion. He meant that, before a complete re-working of the politics and economics of a society can take place, religion has to be taken down.
This is because religion, as he saw it, is the “opium of the masses,” a drug taken to dull our sensitivity to the suffering caused by economic exploitation. As long as the suffering populace is lured into complacency by fantasies about God's providence and the promise of eternal life, they will never rise up and throw off their chains.
But there is a second reason why the elimination of religion is of paramount significance for Marx.
Communism aspires to be a totalizing system, involving the government's control over education, entertainment, communication, politics, and especially economics.
What stands resolutely athwart this ambition is religion, which declares that all of these societal expressions are finally under the judgment of God. So, if you want Communism to succeed, religion has to be stamped out.
If you doubt me on any of this, I would encourage you to read the recent histories of China, Russia, Cuba, Nicaragua, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Venezuela. Revisit those histories and tell me I'm wrong about the attack on religion.
Might I encourage my fellow believers in God not to be complacent in the face of this very troubling development in the American body politic?
@ChandlerForPB@AnnCoulter Accurate. My inner city Hospital is now completely full of foreign medical graduates and girl boss physicians. All of them have no accountability thanks to the civil rights act and similar statutes.
