I get the sense he’s more of a libertarian there. Those questions haven’t come up much though.
So I've literally just got done binging all of his solo videos and I'm working my way through the podcasts, and I feel he has mentioned it before
He may be similar to Dave Rubin. I’m not sure.
He certainly doesn't seem to talk a lot about economic issues on a national level or trade for that matter, but I am pretty sure I heard him quote Thomas Sowell before to get a point across, so I would be surprised if he is left leaning when it comes to economics.
Also his libertarian views on health care make it hard to image he would think left on economics.
What is left leaning to you when it comes to economics?
@grant good question. I don’t really know the answer to that either beyond the government owning stuff.
I usually measure it based on where we are now. (Is the policy to left or right of where we are now) I know its a relative thing, but I find it makes more sense to me this way. I just want to know because I'm not always sure what people mean when they start saying left and right, instead of specific policies.
I think that way of looking at is comes with the risk of being so far on one side that even policies that are clearly on one side of the spectrum can still be called as policies from the other side altogether.
Kind of what's happening in Europe.
@grant @Euro looking for a green card I understand what you mean. I think it’s a worthwhile discussion though. The areas that I need to think through are R&D and early commercialization.
That's fair, when I read your comment I was actually asking myself the same question (what does he mean with left) but just figured you mean clear Dem or clear Rep talking points.
Yeah. I’m not sure what to think. I do think that tax credits are better than mandates.
Would anyone be interested in writing for website about news? Its for a school project of mine what I look to expand once my school is over this May as well. I want to create a fair and all sides perspective news website instead of the legends all news websites have right now. Fell free to ask me any questions on here and or DM me on any questions
@Wyatt Berckenhoff sounds interesting. There are some sites that do try and offer both sides of a topic I believe. What do you have in mind for the structure?
Newsvoice.com collects articles from left and right outlets.
It is solely community driven but a bit echo-chambery to the right.
@Salacious Swanky Cat I want the writers of anyone wanting to try my idea out to pick a topic they are interested in. There are some for sure but not as many as there should be. I was a basic format in mind what might change depending what you cover. Would be something like topic analysis of cnn and fox side, your perspective of both, where you think the truth is based off of facts. Right now i'm working on paper about if America is headed for third party
@Euro looking for a green card not surprised considering how the mainstream media has been.
@Wyatt Berckenhoff interesting. Keep us posted.
@Salacious Swanky Cat All the ones kicked off from FB and Twitter
PS. Deleted my FB today after having deleted my Twitter about 5 month ago.
Guess, I am free now...
@Wyatt Berckenhoff maybe. It depends on the topic. I could write on environmental issues and infrastructure issues. That’s about it.
yeah of course like I said I want it to be something you are interested in
Apparently, George Lopez is doing standup near me
If anyone would like to attend the show, boo him for doing a terrible Trump joke, and then have him swear at you as if it was some sort of "Gotcha", enjoy that
I don't know if he still ends his shows with a racist chant, or if that was just a one time thing that I happened to see, but I wonder how he would react if someone in the crowd started chanting 'White power!' or for that matter, 'Black power!' during that.
You talking about his La Raza call?
@SteelandSouls if he swears at you, say he needs to wash his mouth out with corn starch. Lol
@wolfman1911 did he actually end his shows with a racist chant?
He has ended shows by chanting 'la raza' with the audience.
I guess chanting "the race" isn't super racist as far as that goes, but we live in a world where "it's okay to be white" is considered white supremacist rhetoric, so screw that.
@SteelandSouls @Salacious Swanky Cat when's the next manhood ritual planning hour (tm) lads?
@wolfman1911 oh. Well I don’t like him anyways. He’s short and has an obnoxious voice.
@SteelandSouls @Beemann after work. Hurrah!
I kinda want Blonde's thoughts on this too. Maybe an email is in order once it's more fleshed out
Are they good about replying to emails?
It really depends
Some people get fast turnaround, sometimes Blonde is busy and then nothing gets read. Some people seem to do regular correspondence
Apparently Twitter deleted some 10,000 accounts that were ‘discouraging’ voters
Do you guys think Pewdipie is going to get backlash for having Ben Shapiro on? and to what extent?
pewdiepie will be fine
