Im gonna go ahead and bring up the sub-prime mortgage crisis. Blamed on greedy bankers - and I'm not disputing they exist - but fuelled in part by compulsory loans to 'minorities'. Said 'minorities' weren't getting awarded their 100% loan-to-value mortgages. This wasn't because the banks correctly predicted they wouldnt pay, but because, you guessed it: 'racism'.

The mortgage crisis is emblematic of what’s wrong with almost all leftist policies. They want black people to be able to afford homes in larger numbers. Great, in principle I don’t think anyone would be against that. Then the way they do it makes the problem worse by neglecting to remember it’s not going to occur in a vacuum and that other people are still going to act according to their own best interests.

It’s similar to a lot of western Big Pharma style medicine. You’ll get a blood test and maybe your blood sugar’s too high. Instead of advising or encouraging you to eat and live better to help with that, you’re given a pill or injection that causes other problems and never addressed the core issue of you living and eating in a way that’s not going well for your health. Now on top of that, we have people on the social justice end trying to argue that high blood sugar’s great and we should all get ‘da betus’ to be inclusive.

I love Thomas Sowell’s line regarding how there isn’t a conservative or republican party, just leftists and people that are sick of their childish pandering bullshit that always blows up in everyone’s face. All comes back to the core dichotomy of male and female thinking. Either one in the extreme is retarded. We need both working together. Leftism is all female thinking without any balance and shit blows up each time, then they attack male thinking to stop ‘the criticism’, which they view as the problem, not the problems themselves.
