centrists can be so condescending

"both parties suck hah"

how edgy

big brained centrists

Integration of church(or any religious heads) and state isnt possible without the moderation of that religion. As you know there are extremists and fundamentalists in every ideology, people who won't be satisfied until they have their way. This is simply impossible to work with in a westernized, democratic society. Simply, they have to tone it down a bit. And that's exactly what's been happening in the last two decades. The prime example would be Pope Francis with his tolerance-first strategy.

Pinochet did nothing wrong..

Centrism is cancer

Well in terms of killing people compared to the giants pinochet looks like a centrist

I mean he only killed bad people

45% of people vote for you to remain dictator

Totally a tyrant

Totally

Totally when litterally every single one of your victims was a Marxist terrorist... that's what makes you even more tyrannical..

The average democratically elected politician killed more people if they were in a war then Pinochet... it's actually kind funny

Pinochet's policies left a ton of people poor. 45% of people were pushed into poverty under Pinochet.

Just because Allende was worse does not make Pinochet good.

And weren't there two recessions under Pinochet?

Well of course he wasn’t good, that’s morale, was he beneficial, yes

I mean a lot of those people were poor before allende you can't expect a politician to fix every problem

He was in power for around a decade and a half

Peron wasn't perfect, but he was far better for Argentina than Pinochet was for Chile

@everyone Daily Question 🔖

Should all industry be privatized? If yes, why? If no, what kinds of industry should not?

no industry should be privatized

everything should be public

yes, competition drives down prices and encourages innovation

there should be no industry

especially prostitution@PebbЛe

prostitution is not an industry

no industry?

wtf

Things like prisons should not be privatized, for example.

true

i don't think of that as an industry

Privatize the police, if you privatize it it will become more efficient with money. Look at american EMS for an example!

even though it is

we should go back to subsitance farming and raiding

An interesting case of privatization being an issue is the merchant marine. As of right now were the USA to enter a prolonged war again the size of Iraq/Afghanistan our merchant marine is no longer large enough to supply such an effort. The US Gov has been looking into subsidizing the merchant marine to avoid this disaster.
