that one is actually an interesting example of how media does headlines
"had a loaded .38-caliber handgun in his waistband, a speed loader in his pocket and a National Socialist Movement business card on him when he was arrested.
He also had a backpack with three more speed loaders, a box of ammunition, a knife, tin snips, scissors and a ventilation mask inside."
I would suggest this guy was clearly out there to do stuff
but that national business socialist card -> neo-nazi literature
its only after they searched his house apparently that that became a more obvious statement
so this one seems pretty clear cut.
what are exacly neo-Nazi literature and national business socialist card?
no idea
but they did find the actual literature at his house afterwards
A Populist Semidirect Theodemocratic Confederal Republic is the ideal system of governance.
I do have a problem with them classifying stuff there coming from "hate crimes".
theodemocratic... only the gods get to vote?
It is a fusion of democracy with divine right
Such that democratic values are equivalent to religious values.
Should be combined with Theonomous principles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theonomy
"hate crime"
what that even means. just anti freedom of speech...
Since when are incels white supremacists? can anyone tell me when that happened because i really dont pay any attention to the whole incel thing
Direct democracy at a local level with representative democracy at the state level. Representatives are composed of a class called the Polis who gain there position through a minimum two years service to the State along with continued obligations alongside their responsibility.
The Polis in turn would be the main elective body of the federal level.
sounds nasty
you would need to abolish current media companies.
or they would have the power to manipulate peoples belives like right now.
most people are too stupid to understand politics
If you believe that, you need to start working to reduce democratic influence in the country.
Would it be any different if you had a King instead of a President??
would suck if it was something like George B. or Angela M. but rock if it was someone like Ron or Rand.
How does the philosophical underpinning of Theonomy differ from Sharia, @Dvir ?
Government by holy text seems pretty suspect unless you happen to have a nation made entirely of adherents to one exact interpretation of that holy text.
And heaven help anyone who comes along and feels differently.
Most of Heinlein's future history was based on the US becoming and then overcoming a theocracy in the early 21st century. Ironically the Latter Day Saints were part of the resistance because the theocracy was not THIER theocracy.
Let's talk my favorite subject. Health care. Is pure capitalism a good thing for health care?
As stated prior, @DrYuriMom , what do you mean when you say "pure capitalism"
The invisible hand. Market forces handle everything with little or no regulation.
No minimum wage
No tax structure to encourage some things and discourage others
No state enterprises
What stops people from banding together and making an organization that handles healthcare as a single payer or hybrid system?
People pay for it individually or it doesn't happen
If done individually by choice, nothing.
But if government does it, that's socialism, right?
