I see the reasoning, and I do know that the reasons they have do come from good intentions, but 1, it wont work, 2, I will not give up what I already own
The Fed has been an enemy to savings for the past decade. At least when it comes to the fed rate. It's all predicted that spending = good , saving = bad. That's why the rate is low, in part, it's to discourage savings

Does this count as <#398858182455459853>
no i think that counts as a misdemeanor
Yea, I thought Plant Fitness's slogans superseded actual laws as well. Good to know.
This is why Social Justice never dies.
Essentially, the issue at Missouri was being "insufficiently responsive" and "If coverage of protests convinces parents of prospective students that your campus is some kind of racist nightmare, even the best administrators will have trouble recruiting a diverse student body"
In other words, the problem at Missouri from a year or so ago was that they didn't social justice fast enough.

it will die because rational people will slowly but surely stop falling or it - because they keep pushing and are getting more into the spotlight which means more people will see their lies and misrepresentations as just that.
Yes but if these rational people cannot take a stand against it, or if the narrative only goes for it, then the effect will only be one way.
Rationality does not always lead to power. The minority has ruled in the majority of human societies.
giving in to these hate mobs will lead to negative financial consequences, companies and institutions will see that and stop giving in.
you can see the first signs of it with star wars going from a guaranteed money maker to losing money in the span of one movie trying to appease those people.
That's not the plan on the left. To them it's a war of attrition. If there aren't alternatives people will eventually just give up and let them win.
They're right. And they're attacking anyone and anything that could provide such an alternative.
yeah... thats their problem
Esp since they control so much of the culture and productive industries.
if you attack everyone, everyone is against you
They technically don't even have to attack everyone. Just wait long enough to become a large enough minority.
Most people aren't confrontational. And most experience cognative dissonance with this stuff. Just look at what happens to some people on Reddit with respect to these things.
it will not die because people confront them, it will die because people will stop listening to what they are saying
and avoid people, companies and institutions that are still listening to them
Yes, but what if that is *all of them*
If you control enough of the culture and are sufficiently active you can deny effectively air to everyone.
then the market will sort it out
Not if they get all major players to act as a sufficiently powerful cartel.
Suppose you can't get a loan. People are already being banned from all the paymet processors.
then regulation will sort it out
Not if they control the regulators.
Actually, if they control the regulators there are no alternatives.
and if the american market will not sort it out: the european or asian market will.
You can regulate them out of existence.
They're even stronger in Europe.
the uk is not europe
OK, who exactly are you thinking of. Everythign I've seen suggests Germany, Switzerland, Sweden and France are atleast as SJW-converged as the US and UK if not more.
Asia is special. The fact hentai porn exists does nothing at the end of the day with this stuff.
Germany is not even in the same conversation (anymore) as the us and uk.
The whole social justice stuff had a completely different trajectory.
(1) I'm curious to hear how so. I heard Germany cities were waging war on traffic signals for being discriminatory.
(2) Contagion. If every business plays social justice and makes it a mandate to do business, it WILL spread.
#2 is why we shouldn't just say "someone else will take care of it"
Especially since the anglophone world is so large and powerful.
I think there was something in austria with the traffic signals... germany had female Ampelmännchen in the 90s
Also... why the fk is Ampelmännchen a word in english?!
The general populace in germany is moving more to the right/center currently. Has been since the mid 2000s, albeit slowly.
