Two wars without an endgame, one has positive knock-on effects one doesn't.

2018-09-30 17:14:31 UTC  

got drones out of it

2018-09-30 17:15:05 UTC  

Hooray, now the drones can smash my shit up when they deliver it

2018-09-30 17:15:51 UTC  

How about instead of taking a trillion dollars in taxes from citizens every year and spending it on a never-ending war, we let the taxpayers keep it.

2018-09-30 17:16:21 UTC  

but that would solve issues

2018-09-30 17:16:29 UTC  

and you cant campaign on solved issues

2018-09-30 17:17:10 UTC  

That's part of what was saying earlier about progressivism. It's perpetual revolution. There always has to be some new fight to justify the existence of the movement.

2018-09-30 17:17:22 UTC  

You can't ever say "things are pretty good".

2018-09-30 17:17:32 UTC  

Everything has to be FUCKING AWFUL.

2018-09-30 17:17:33 UTC  

Tax money isn't enough for single payer, it'd have to involve some sort of quantitative easing or MMT

2018-09-30 17:17:40 UTC  

I'm curious, what is a current progressive goal?

2018-09-30 17:17:48 UTC  

Free post-secondary.

2018-09-30 17:17:53 UTC  

White Extinction

2018-09-30 17:17:56 UTC  

rofl

2018-09-30 17:18:02 UTC  

lol

2018-09-30 17:18:20 UTC  

college being free is progress? Didn't someone define it as something that lifts all of us up?

2018-09-30 17:19:28 UTC  

current Progressive goal is one of the next 3:

- to make sure that everyone is exactly equal
Problem is that the only thing everyone can have equal in abundance is misery

- All for me and none for thee

- I need to cover my past crimes as a sex offender with minors

2018-09-30 17:19:33 UTC  

If I have a college degree and only a few other people have them, that makes me valuable compared to other people. If I have a college degree and everyone has one, that means I'm just the same as everyone else.

2018-09-30 17:19:54 UTC  

I can't demand higher wages.

2018-09-30 17:20:00 UTC  

To be honest I wasn't too hyped about free college but still thought Bernie was way better than Hillary and had a better view on healthcare than Trump

2018-09-30 17:20:01 UTC  

Right, I am not asking for regressive goals labeled progressive, I am asking for actual progressive goals.

2018-09-30 17:20:42 UTC  

And Bernie showed he wasn't a bleeding heart faggot when asked about ICE which is good.

2018-09-30 17:20:57 UTC  

Free college seems to be the real rallying cry right now. As is unlimited open immigration.

2018-09-30 17:21:01 UTC  

Shrink gubment

2018-09-30 17:21:24 UTC  

there are no actual progressive goals,

Things are pretty solidly stable under normal society, Racism is at an all time low, crime is low, sickness is low

Only thing that can get better is that people would study actual USEFUL degrees and use that to help upgrade society with technological improvement

2018-09-30 17:21:45 UTC  

Yeah fuck the free college people. They want to brainwash centrists.

2018-09-30 17:21:48 UTC  

*SHRINK GUBMENT*

2018-09-30 17:21:55 UTC  

As opposed to every loser picking "Gender studies" or some other degree in knitting, and then wondering why no one hires them and they end up pouring piss-water at starbucks

2018-09-30 17:22:00 UTC  

But you can't say that everything is working well and still have perpetual revolution. Everything MUST be terrible to justify perpetual revolution.

2018-09-30 17:22:04 UTC  

hating society for having cheated them with a useless degree

2018-09-30 17:22:05 UTC  

well there is no such thing as free college, unless we are bringing back slavery...even that has a cost.

2018-09-30 17:22:12 UTC  

and serving the next generation of wankers that take useless degrees

2018-09-30 17:22:27 UTC  

I think certification programs for autodidacts should be funded instead

2018-09-30 17:23:01 UTC  

Exactly @Atkins , thats where we are now, so people are inventing new "terribleness" like wage gaps etc to justify their moral outrage

2018-09-30 17:23:20 UTC  

Also the idea of free college isn't bad, hear me out

2018-09-30 17:23:45 UTC  

I know what you're going to say.

2018-09-30 17:24:20 UTC  

to me is seems most of the actual progressive ideas, are coming from the right.

2018-09-30 17:24:26 UTC  

But this won't be free college to those people who meet the high meritocratic standard, this will be free college for everyone regardless of grades and regardless of market demand for their degree.

2018-09-30 17:24:32 UTC  

It has to be free college for useful degrees though,

If you can get a generation of actual tech-savvy people to fill the void, you dont have to import outsiders,

And their contributions will increase the value of your nations GDP due to technological improvements, meaning everyone starts making better money because you become the powerhouse economy due to having a lot of competition on high-end degrees

2018-09-30 17:24:41 UTC  

abortion, limited government, free trade (not corporatism), etc.
