Considering they've lost every single important argument - whether it be Individualism vs Collectivism, Capitalism vs Socialism, free speech vs. censorship, big government vs. small government - I'd say yes. Screaming "Orange Man Bad" at the sky is all they can muster. Apart from the barrage of insults that are hurled at you on Reddit for timid statements such as "I like Trump", of course. Only thing ever conspicuously absent is an actual argument.
Fuck em'. Just as Socrates learned the hard way: you cannot reason with the mob. These are ANGRY people looking for an outlet, and they will let anyone who does not conform to their statist hive-mind feel their wrath. Censorship is the first step on the path to violence.
If you can't reason with them, let them delude themselves - just like they did in 2016. "Trumps's chance of winning: 1%". Yea, how did that turn out for you? I can't wait for the next "Young Turks 2016 Election Breakdown" video.
Capitalism hasn't failed anyone. Capitalism is the fairest, most moral socio-economic system that has ever existed. It is nothing more than the most efficient allocation of limited resources. There is no force or coercion involved in Capitalism: everything is voluntary interaction and voluntary trade by free men.
It is marxism, moral degeneracy and indoctrination that has produced "this thing".
Very astute! Lack of parental guidance is exactly what the leftist statists want. Their goal is to obliterate the nuclear family, so that children are separated from their parents as much as possible. Single motherhood is financially rewarded, and they want kids to go to government daycare. Why? Lenin has something to say about that:
"Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted." - Lenin
Indoctrination can be prevented by STRONG FAMILIES and STRONG FATHERS. It is not Capitalism that has failed these people. It is socialism, communism, statism and most of all: MARXISM.
Copied my comment on Capitalism from another thread:
One can only image how much further civilization would be if Capitalism didn't have to carry the dead-weight of socialism, communism, feminism and statism on it's back. If pure Capitalism were unleashed - we got close during the Industrial Revolution and 1920s America - we might even be a space-faring civilization by now. The essence of capitalism is very simple:
- Property rights
- Enforcement of private contracts
Everything else, namely free markets, small government, free speech, the non-aggression principle etc. result from the two tenets above. There is NO COERCION and NO VIOLENCE in Capitalism.
A few further arguments for Capitalism:
- Capitalism can exist without socialism, but socialism cannot exist without Capitalism. After all, the wealth that socialism seeks to distribute BY FORCE first needs to be created by voluntary, willing, free men.
- If socialists are so hell-bent on "equality" through re-distribution of others' wealth, why don't all the socialists gather and redistribute their own wealth amongst themselves? This has never happened in the history of humankind.

One of the only quotes of the Quran I can get behind. Another way of saying "the pen is mightier than the sword", or, to put it more universally: if your goal is prosperity, the non-aggression principle always beats coercion.
I respect and admire the fight you're putting up, Based Kebab.
150 people murdered? Since 2013? You're telling me 150 people murdered in six years is a big deal? Why don't you comment on the ONE HUNDRED MILLION (100.000.000) people that have been murdered in the name of Marxism and communism? ONE. HUNDRED. MILLION. That isn't even counting the people who have been maimed, crippled and lost their livelihoods.
And yet, this is the exact brand of tyranical statism that the leftists advocate for to this day. Call it socialism, call it "democratic socialism", call it what you like. The result is always the same. History repeats itself.
What a shame the lefties are wasting Trumps valuable time with these ridiculous hoaxes. First three years, millions of dollars of taxpayer money and ten thousands of man-hours wasted on the Mueller investigation, and now another few months down the drain with the Ukraine hoax. I guess the silver lining is that with each failed attempt at peach mints, the Democrat foundation weakens a little. Will it be enough for people to wake up and allow Trump to save Western Civilization? One can only hope.

Protect your children from indoctrination with STRONG FAMILIES! Avoid sending your child to government controlled daycare. The nuclear family has been the most successful family model in the entire human history!
These delusional Leftists think they're "the resistance". They're not. They are the very statist authoritarians they claim to oppose. Even now, Trump is an underdog, and I'm proud to see him fight like the lion he is against the rotten alliance of Lefties and establishment media.
Without having the constant threat of a ban-hammer looming above the whole community, I can imagine the mods having a much more fun and relaxed job on this site. In turn, time can be used much better to advance the site rather than trying to appease constantly shifting Leftist "standards". MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY!
That was a fantastic article. Thanks for sharing!
