Beliefs are beliefs. The human mind works 'only' in relativity. If
'you' dont,this is an insight that you learning to be 'above' the
mind.
We were taught that more intelligent (mentally) people know
better.They become our leaders
This needs little further explaination to those who are 'in the ball
park' and no amount of explaination is capable of convincing those who
still 'play ball'.

What an ignorant cockhead ewe are Mortal, conservativists are as anti-
human as any left or right wing lunatic on the planet is.
The fiction is the fucking nonsense that any of the current mess can
not be blamed 100% on the state sticking its ugly parasitical nose
into the business affairs of peaceful human individuals.
MG
> [Conservatives & Libertarians] have an ideology about the market and its
> ability to deal with all problems that has no basis in reality
This ideology is taken for granted here as having to do with a 'free'
marketplace in which the innate forces of commerce will regulate and
direct the entire market towards best quality at best price. I think,
this also sees rationality at the basis of each exchange.
This ideology does have a basis in reality. Very much so. However, what
is at issue is the specific form of reality in which it is based. The
ancient Silk Road is not quite the same 'market' as computer derivative
trading. A flea market is not the same as trading commodity futures.
Most importantly, debt is not the same as tangible value.
At the center of this ideology, which today is mainly reactionary, is an
idea that a very well defined line stands between government and this
marketplace yearning to be free of government. At this point this
ideology leaves reality and must enter a another very real world. That of
make believe.
Correct. But also relevant is the role of land (resource) 'ownership'
and rent, as well as the issue of 'externalities'. They cite examples
of 'success' which completely ignore those factors, and so have an
empirically empty argument.

Then why do so few admit it? Most of the professional "market"
economists and Repugliar politicians knew full well all along that
they were conducting a terafraud against the American people.
I studied scams in Florida for 15 years and it's useful to categorize
two types of scams:
The "deliriscam" where the scammer is deluding himself as much as
others -- most the the rightards posting here. The deliriscammer
tends to get caught.
The in touch with reality scammer. This guy knows he's a scammer and
knows the consequences of getting exposed.
That's why the professionals all dodge The Question.
It's not an ideology or reactionary for those at the top. For almost
2 decades and maybe much longer it's been a conscious deliberate fraud
against the American people and anyone can prove it to himself.
They simply have/had no fig leaf exit other than retiring or dying.
If you wondered why there are no leaders in the GOP and why there are
so many winger dingers running around loose w/o any supervision, well
that's the reason.
Bret Cahill
Let's be more precise. The bottom feeding rightards [99% of
conservatives as well as 100% of libertarians] who are not players
have an ideology.
The manipulators at the top, the billionaires and publishers, knew
full well that they were engaging in a tera fraud against the American
people for at least 2 decades and probably much longer.
They never had an ideology.
The only thing that's changed is they cannot get away with looting the
poor any longer.
Well, Mr. Irrelevant. You start by saying that you want to be more
precise and proceed to be anything but precise. You make wild
accusations which make you sound less than intelligent.
The characteristic arises from our tendency toward automatic decision
making - a shortcut through complexity. Automatic decision making is
necessary to navigate ordinary, everyday life, but death to higher
intelligent behavior.
Bret couldn't sound intelligent if his life depended on it. Every
sentence he utters is NOUN-VERB-is why I (he) hates conservatives.
If hate talk could be converted to gasoline Bret would bankrupt Saudi
Arabia.

Not true of plenty. Hordes decided that there was no god when most

Thats very arguable. The military for example have worked out how to
change the mentality of most of the kids they monster very effectively.

Most dont do automatic decision making all the time and can think again
when they need to. Only the most rigid/inflexible arent capalbe of that.

Libertarians are generally really big supporters of "user fees" and
they have a valid argument: the individualist only pays for what he
wants or needs.
With more fuel efficient vehicles or EVs that don't burn any fuel at
all, however, the gas tax will no longer pay for roadbed upkeep so now
public officials are suggesting charging motorists by the mile --
basically a user fee.
So where are the liberdopes? Out there supporting the new user fee?
Noooo. The libertards are protesting the new user fee. They think
the highways are free, they built themselves.
So it really is true that old habits die hard.
Bret Cahill
Tax is a cost of business which is ultimately is paid by the poor, tax
loots the poor, even the tax paid by the productive rich was in fact
looted from the poor, how? because tax has to be built into the cost
of products and or the services the productive rich provide.
MG
> ........... the individualist only pays for what he
> wants or needs.
Ewe'd prefer it that way too, but ewe're too dishonest to admit it,
the only alternative possible to "user pays" is "non-users pay" and
not even the commie retard Brett can morally justify that.
> With more fuel efficient vehicles or EVs that don't burn any fuel at

NZ has had a per mile charge on taxless fuel (diesel) for 30 years,
but of course billions of dollars in other forms of tax e.g. Goods and
Services tax (GST) is also taken from the sale of cars trucks busses
bikes tyres oil crash repairs etc etc etc, i.e. all forms of transport
related industries.
> Noooo. The libertards are protesting the new user fee.
Thats because they know that the size of the state only grows like a
festering terminal cancer with each and every new tax that it invents
and petends that it needs.
Tax is a scam and its time ewe retards woke up to it.
MG
you are correct. however, they cannot give it up, because they are
impervious to facts, logic, and reason. they are hard wired, its a
form of insanity. they can only see, this or that, night or day,
either or, black or white, but never any shades of gray.
I mean, think of yourself as one of these professors

no they will not. not only that, stiglitz rubbed their idiot noses
into it deep in 2001. he wiped away hayeks and freidmans life works.
they cannot see that they are wrong, because, they blame government
intervention and protectionism for everything. yet, the massive
intervention and protectionism only comes after the free market
blowout. not before. and if you correctly identify deregulation
privatization, tax cuts for wealthy parasites, and free trade, they
bark and bray that they were still some regulations. but never admit
that even a partial deregulation, leads to economic blowouts, glass-
steagle, or the savings and loans deregulation is a fine example.
so they are confused, bewildered, scared, and looking to blame
anyone, anything, except their own stupidity, fundamentalism, and
idiotology.
the intervention comes after the blowout, because we do not want to
end up in some sort of feudal stone age. the protectionism also comes
after, because we do not want what is left of our meager wealth, to
bleed off into someone else's economy. like what happened with cash
for clunkers.

Corporations are extremely adept at passing tax costs on to customers.
They go out of business not because of costs, but because they're
pursuing less profitable things than they should be. This is
the correct application of evolutionary theory to economics, not
the lazy Social Darwinisms of Usenet.
This is the thing - Schumpeter makes Marx irrelevant, because by
pursuing private self interest, *honest* businessmen serve the
public good. The problem is that our maze of subsidy and regulation
introduces error.
The inefficiencies that the subsidies and regulation attempt to
fix are very real ( nothing is perfect ) but the probability of making
things worse is very high. If the correctives were built around
the extraction of rents, they'd work better.
Rent "King Corn" some time. Very good film, about ag subsidies. By gum,
they work, but have unsettling effects.

Plenty of them do just that. Thats the reason so much manufacturing has moved offshore.

There is only one race it is the human race, to claim something is
racist requires you to embrace racism, it requires to agree that there
exists more than one race of humans, which is not true.
Mankind has only one enemy, it is irrationalism and it is irrational
and not racist to treat people differently based on accidents of their
birth e.g. skin color.
Your culture / behaviour eventually does become your choice and you
can be treated different when your behaviour becomes a direct physical
threat to other human beings, e.g. it is rational to regard those on
