Dang.

A hurricane is coming up through the south. I don’t think it’ll do much damage.

cat 1

shouldn't be a big deal but the rain

Yeah. The rain may be an issue. Any news on Venezuela? I think Nikki Haley stepped down for some reason.

oh yeah....tons

Nikki no idea why she is stepping down who knows with Venz it comes down to where you left off?

but if you want the latest https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2018/10/09/venezuela-opposition-politician-dead-after-three-days-police-custody/

I left off at the resistance guy “dying” in jail. I think

How far to the left is the Mexican president

was it that guy or the previous guy? Maduro has a real knack for inprisoning opposition

he was pretty far during the campaign. He is back more center now he is in office

I pretty sure he stepped back from the "emigration to the US is a human right"

I can’t keep up with the Venezuelan insanity. It’s so bad and I wish I could help.

Did he really move more center? Mexico could use someone who is more a mix of libertarian and right wing now.

well there is economic news there. Their crypto idea flopped. Oil production dropped below 1mil barrel a day level....inflation yadda yadda yadda

It’s both funny and sad that wow money is more valuable.

thats how fiat currency works

It’s not *real* socialism of course. Lol

actually the best example of real socialism is the Borg from star trek....(Pre-queen)

I haven’t watched much Star Trek. Are they hive minded.

yes hive mind

I've read the complete works of Marx......I'm surprised he is taken as seriously as he is

You know that game theory guy matpat? He says that the Star Trek federation is fascist.

I need to read the communist manifesto too.

Is it just a bunch of nice sounding platitudes?

well....its not really that good of book

more of this world we are building is great. (Capitalism) but everything should be shared.......And never explains how.....

Oh. Sargon said that socialism is a moral principle portrayed as an economic policy.

the 2 biggests issues with Marx.......1. He never explains how the economics of his system would work(You think that would be important coming from a "economist")......2. how do you get there....

Sargon is basically right although I'm sure he would say he is simplifying it a lot

Yeah. I know it’s an oversimplification.

Sometimes I can’t tell what Sargon really thinks.

Sargon ehhhh. I go back and forth on him....not sure where he really stands on some issues but then again I watch him for more for a take on whats going on in UK and Europe

Yeah.

Have you ever watched thunderfoot?

yes some

I don't really understand He and sargons beef

I don’t like him that much, but thunderfoot is how I really started understanding the problems with the far left. At first, I couldn’t wrap my head around how a left wing atheist would criticize feminism. I came for the science and left wondering what in the world was going on.

Thunderfoot is petty. That’s his beef.

I watch him de-bunking science stuff. Like the self filling water bottle or the tesla stuff

The first video I watched was criticizing the solar freakin roadway. Lol
