In my SG bank account, I can move money between 12 currencies instantly, buy gold & silver on leverage, etc. Just an ordinary bank account

so what do u think caused the ratings for the USA? it was liberalism

Exactly. RINOs like McCain, Paul Oxley (of Sarbanes-Oxley fame) and even GWB going along with it

NYC run by liberals is why it is a shithole just like Chicago and LA and every where liberals r in charge

Yes, and they are worse than liberals here. They are progressives/communists

I live in Pa where liberals r turning it into a shithole

They don't hide it either. It's right out in the open.

Fortunately, it is pushing the right into forming its own countercultre

and NYC mayor comrade Deblasio is a commie

just like gov wolf

and cuomo

they are all horrible, and unfortunately Cuomo will easily win re-election. The GOP put up a candidate (Molinaro) who sounds just like Cuomo.

Same with the NY Atty General candidate Tish James who has called herself a socialist outright

liberals have been turning the USA into a shithole for decades

A major cause of this is college-educated single women. They are Life of Julia NPCs when it comes to voting.

why r the citizens of NY so gullible?

the colleges r a bastion of communists

nothing is free and the people of these liberal states don't understand they r being used. usefull idiots

It's a paradoxical element of human nature I think, to be ungrateful. The endowment effect- people just assume the prosperity that was generated by freedom will continue no matter what. In NYC they see the enormous contrasts of rich vs poor and think that capital, ideas, wealth are just being "hoarded" and kept from the masses. They think the rich exist only because the poor are being oppressed

So they buy into the socialist garbage that has been invalidated so many times.

liberals think they have a right to other peoples money

If the old-style socialism was Orwell's "a boot stamping on a human hace - forever", the new socialism is a fist smashing a rose into a human face, forever.

every one has the same rights, liberalism works till it runs out of other peoples money

yes. TBH, part of the rise of the "new" socialism is the mishandling of the so-called financial crisis

rather than letting Goldman, etc go bankrupt, the gov't bailed them out

no-one of any prominence went to jail

and the bankers still got their bonuses

This inspired the tea party movement on the right, and Occupy on the left

and while the right won electoral victories, taking back Congress and ultimately the Presidency as a result

the left didn't win anything, and so they march further leftward

every one has the same opportunities to be sucessful

yes these big banks r not to big to fail

they should not have been bailed out

the bailouts had huge unintended consequences. It changed the direction of American political culture, and may have made another civil war inevitable

unlikely, but not off the table

It's a cold civil war at the moment

I was at this speech on Friday:

I know a few ppl in that group. They are not alt-right. Not collectivist, not racist, not identitarian
