Hello thank you for having me

Hey I know I am new her and all... But from someone who has actually lived in communism/socialism its not that fun. I understand how enticing socialism may be

but do not mistake socialism with social programs

Im sorry if you guys disagree I was just reading up. Im really into philosophy behind laws etc more so than others

I do it too much I know 😃 but this is close to home

my god they changed the emojis on discord to make them look creepy

The whole immigrant border crisis the US is having

I mean.. whatever anyone else wants to call it. I am honestly just looking thru here as I said new so my life experiences are obv different than anyone elses

Im not sure what you mean @Xiyilqa

those are very vague thoughts :))

Im a hypocritical Libertarian if it helps much. If you are referring to the claim of lack of jobs because of immigrants well I cannot help with the loss in satire there. My bro is the economics dude in the family not me.

My Uncle just got to the states after saving money for him and his daughter his damn self. They fled to Mexico and worked. He defected two months ago. Was able to claim asylum, have it, and now is working in Miami. We are being fed lies about a bunch of shit

and socialism is one of them. Hope you all see it

even if we cannot agree

Yes my dad had to do the same thing when I was 5 so I could have a better life here and more opportunity

we became naturalized citizens 2001

No offence.. but I got that

He may pander but I have never ever heard him say this

This sounds like that bad clip off of South Park.. THEY TOOK OUR JOBS

no one has said that lol

people are talking about crime rates and the fucking homeless in America

not this shit

Please.. I am a factual person. Love Philosophy but give me facts period.

All over the place. Not just left right mainstream etc

no labels lol

i am a free human

a free thinker

no way lmao how so with the 5 min you met me :))

for real.. how do you judge someone like that within 5 min talking time :)))

well im sorry i take that back

thats easy

I mean.. dont label me ever. I look at all sides from each angle and I have to bc of my job

I am analytical too much at times. But 5 min?

:))))))

I agree. the labels we have are enough

it was enough like 10 years ago lol

agreed

But you are the master of your own reality

Too in depth Jesus take it back

lets talk about how you are the master of your own universe and you decide

I am a huuugggeee Alan Watts fan sorryy

Rabbit holes are fun. Whats not fun is spending days in them

Yeah Ive been really hyper active with all this stuff this past year

Ive learned now to take breaks. I had to take 2 days off the news etc and even now I dont go down them as much

My real life is crazy enough and this stuff serves its purpose as a distraction

No the news isn't even news anymore

how do you believe any of it

no

never

depressing

For me its quite depressing and so is my life lol so breaks are a huge welcome

yes

You don't think some things are distractions?

From our real purpose?

In other words yes my life is that shit that I regularly go online and debate people and have become a fanatic of what the hell is going on her

here

Meanwhile the Pepsi does nothing nutritional for you

just the sugar

what life?

my brain and thoughts?

what is useless Jesus

Because as far as I am aware.. you learn from everything

the sugar sometimes

but we need it

we need fat too

for our brains

i know that sounds strange

or is it both

Ive had these thoughts since I was 9. When the internet first came out it was a savior to me in the 90s

i grew up real strict Catholic

I am not suffering anything from capitalism

I suffer bc of my own chemical imbalance, genetics, and shit in my life

Because I was given every fucking opportunity when I got here and I squandered it and chose to join the military for 10 years afterward to pay for my college and a new chance in life

It wasn't the system

it was Individuals

You think I was a firefighter for 6 years without any sexism or racism?

you dont know that about me bc im new but I was

I have worked in male dominated fields my life

its not the systems its the individuals who ruin it

This is from firefighting to becoming a Biologist to working in Biomed science

good fkn point

But the system gave me every oppportunity

Same with my brother. Worked hard.. very hard. But graduated with honors from Harvard in public policy

I know Harvard may be a joke now but it was reputable at some point

What I disagree with is it is quite clear this is rich vs poor. SES vs SES

which is what we are being distracted from

they want to make it about everything thing

everything else

Please elaborate bc before you mentioned I was a labelist :)))

I see each ideology for what it is

good and bad and I dont get why we have to choose 1

they are subjective ofc

well... many would claim different

to me those are subjective

No no please no apologies

The space time thing gets me. Bc time has been a fascination to me for the longest. I only took Physics for a year so I cannot articulate that stuff on a huge level.

I feel some things are on a metaphysical level. I like metaphysics but it is pseudo science... there is no falsifiability

I like it tho. I like some of those trains of thought. Simply put I guess with some things its argumentum ad ignorantum but it doesn't discount them

yes

Absolute chaos
