I wonder how someone can go study economics and become socialist...

2018-07-17 23:00:18 UTC  

with all of the different economic models and theories you can analyse

2018-07-17 23:00:31 UTC  

A lot of things lie somewhere between art and science

2018-07-17 23:00:48 UTC  

sifting though all the data (which there is alot)

2018-07-17 23:00:59 UTC  

If you throw out the art or science aspect you run into trouble

2018-07-17 23:01:12 UTC  

a great movie i like about economics is Boom Bust Boom

2018-07-17 23:01:17 UTC  

or Bust Boom Bust

2018-07-17 23:01:35 UTC  

Boom Bust Boom was correct

2018-07-17 23:01:55 UTC

2018-07-17 23:02:43 UTC

2018-07-17 23:02:55 UTC

2018-07-17 23:03:32 UTC

2018-07-17 23:03:46 UTC  

if taken with a grain of salt

2018-07-17 23:03:49 UTC

2018-07-17 23:04:01 UTC

2018-07-17 23:04:14 UTC  

YEAH lol hahah though i got a buddy whos majored in econ so i got a good reference

2018-07-17 23:04:17 UTC  

Most important thing to remember about free markets and capitalism is this: we had these things long before we realized they were there, before we had names for them. They are a side effect of humans with stuff getting together.

2018-07-17 23:04:26 UTC  

We had to invent socialism.

2018-07-17 23:05:16 UTC  

yeah lol im very familliar with the principles of how free market economics works so hopefully it will be a review with some important shit my pleb ass didnt pick up over the past few years

2018-07-17 23:05:29 UTC  

also the actual terms for shit

2018-07-17 23:05:32 UTC  

terminology and what not

2018-07-17 23:05:37 UTC  

Yes because capitalism follows human nature unlike socialism/communism which wants to forcefully change it.

2018-07-17 23:06:06 UTC  

also i liek to think i have a direct example of socialism and its woes living in canada

2018-07-17 23:06:22 UTC  

also a more socialist part of canada in terms of the mainstream political views lol

2018-07-17 23:07:28 UTC  

West Coast Canuck here. Crown corporations are trash

2018-07-17 23:08:17 UTC

2018-07-17 23:09:48 UTC  

if u know what Loi 101 is thats a fucking joke

2018-07-17 23:10:12 UTC  

Here it's Libs or NDP unless you're in Richmond, and people keep making ridiculous sweeping generalizations based on income and neighborhood

2018-07-17 23:10:55 UTC  

LOL yeah stuff is way more divided here becuase of the retarded seperatists. i mean there are logical arguments for the benefit of succeding from canada but they never make them and are too retarded to know them

2018-07-17 23:11:22 UTC  

I'm actually surprised Lauren Southern doesn't bring up Canada as an example more, considering she's a Surrey gal

2018-07-17 23:11:38 UTC  

Yeah I've heard they're a constant out that way

2018-07-17 23:12:42 UTC  

lol yeah fuck im lucky as fuck because the town i live in (sherbrooke) is liek 90% mother tounge french but i live beside an english uni in an acutal english part of town

2018-07-17 23:12:50 UTC  

literally the only english part of this town

2018-07-17 23:12:55 UTC  

Nice

2018-07-17 23:13:16 UTC  

like i can go play at the open mic for the local bar and u dont hear quebecois music ususally

2018-07-17 23:14:34 UTC  

not that i hate it but yeah i dont really play that stuff or care for it that much. its nice people appreciate their heritage but dont force me to play that shit. if i play in a french bar i can play the stuff pretty well cuz its easy peasy to sign n play but i can sing in english without an accent which is more than i can say for most of the people that play in bars
