Fun fact, the U.S. had six major depressions (not just recessions) prior to the Great Depression and all of them (including the Great Depression) can be traced back to govt tampering with the money supply in some way.

he gave a good effort though

2019-10-16 22:54:25 UTC  

i can respect that

2019-10-16 22:54:40 UTC  

might not have been the best thing

2019-10-16 22:54:44 UTC  

but it certainly wasnt the worst

2019-10-16 22:54:49 UTC  

FDR actually made the Depression WORSE, even causing a depression WITHIN the Great Depression

2019-10-16 22:54:58 UTC

2019-10-16 22:55:32 UTC

Look up the work of Lawrence Reed and Burt Folsom

@Marushia Dark let me fucking read your first thing first

2019-10-16 22:57:06 UTC  

Note: nobody wants their actual opposition to be pathetic.

2019-10-16 22:57:36 UTC  

FDR, like all other socialists, wasn't operating on foundational principles of liberty and Econ 101, but on reactionary feel-good plans

2019-10-16 22:57:52 UTC  

you sure about that?

2019-10-16 22:57:53 UTC  

and also the hubris of thinking he knew best what people need

2019-10-16 22:58:26 UTC  

FDR isnt a socialist u mong

2019-10-16 22:58:29 UTC  

>"feel good plans"
>the source you cite says he passed an act that slaughtered millions of livestock to try to help farmer's prices

2019-10-16 22:58:33 UTC  

Stupid, yes

2019-10-16 22:59:14 UTC  

But you dont get to call any and everyone who advocates for any economic govt control a "socialist"

2019-10-16 22:59:32 UTC  

Trump just cut all foreign aid to California

2019-10-16 22:59:33 UTC  

also

2019-10-16 22:59:44 UTC  

it says he was just following a ton of stuff in Hoover's footsteps

2019-10-16 22:59:52 UTC  

How will the nation survive

2019-10-16 22:59:53 UTC  

Funny, the left always holds him up as the model socialist who got us out of the depression in spite of the evil capitalists. So ...

2019-10-16 22:59:57 UTC  

@sv_noob 1
>foreign aid
>california
the fuck does that mean

2019-10-16 23:00:01 UTC  

They dont

2019-10-16 23:00:03 UTC  

But ok

2019-10-16 23:00:22 UTC  

`you dont get to call any and everyone who advocates for any economic govt control a "socialist"` Feels wrong but can't articulate it.

2019-10-16 23:00:24 UTC  

I've not heard a single leftist call him a socialist

2019-10-16 23:00:33 UTC  

"Hurr durr, I'm gonna lump every1 who disagrees with me into a single label"

2019-10-16 23:00:42 UTC  

"anyone who does a government program is a socialist"

2019-10-16 23:00:49 UTC  

"Hurr durr, I cant understand the extreme irony of what I'm doing rn"

2019-10-16 23:00:59 UTC  

"its bad in hindsight, therefore socialist"

2019-10-16 23:01:24 UTC  

What the fuck Luci

2019-10-16 23:01:33 UTC  

Since you're stuck on word-thinking, let me put it this way. You're either pro-individual liberty or you're pro-collectivist control.

2019-10-16 23:01:39 UTC  

No

2019-10-16 23:01:42 UTC  

**no in between**

2019-10-16 23:01:44 UTC  

Libertarian vs authoritarian

2019-10-16 23:01:45 UTC  

**centrists dont exist**

2019-10-16 23:01:49 UTC  

hm..........
