thair the NK of the americas

He just squandered oil revenue on social programs. Any sensible economist knows you have to diversify.

And oil is a volatile market good.

So it was just a matter of time. He was a fucking moron.

they made an oil backed crypto currency then exit scammed it

none of us serious investers bought in it was only the idiots that bet on everything

Socialism gone wrong (NSFW) (NOT CLICKBAIT)

>implying it can go right

Can't go right when you have a populist clown like Chavez in charge.

@εïз irma εïз the American press took Venezuela very seriously when Chavez was around.

Who takes the American press seriously?

That is a good point.

But they did have a Chavez boner

Well liberals are just as eager to hop onto something without knowing anything about it as confirmation of their beliefs as the right is.

So, Communists are anti imperialists and, but materialistic as well. So, if they reject any sort of religion in favor of even more materialism, would that lead to the conquering of land for resources?
Isn't that imperialism then?
🤔

@everyone 🔖 Daily Question
What are the pros and cons of full drug legalization in your opinion?

pros: less crime and violence. cons: it is a step to a society more accepting of extremely unhealthy practices

let's not make this a slippery slope thing it directly leads to a society more accepting of extremely unhealthy practices

The slippery slope exists

it's literally a fallacy

but it isn't

We have seen the slope happen with the LGBT community

wut

The gays started out and all they wanted was equal marriage

Christians said "no, next thing you know they will start supporting pedophilia"

everyone called them crazy

Now it's 2018 and pedophilia is being pushed as a sexuality rather than a mental disease

we fell down the slope

lol most people don't think pedophilia is ok to act on

no

i'm gonna assert that and let you try to disprove it

@21tagtmeiern you are assuming he thinks drugs shouldnt be legal

and neither did the majority support gay marriage when it was first pushed

no i'm not

@Obungus should drugs be legal?

yeah the difference is there's no ethical issues with gay marriage

My point is that slippery slopes exist and we need a way to stop them before we go ahead with stuff like legalizing drugs

there's a common sense line imo

I do not think the government should be able to tell me what I put in me

@21tagtmeiern you love to jump to conclusions
