I think I'm getting cockblocked by Bernie Sanders


I wish I had never heard Ron Paul speak. I wish I never bought his book. I wish I had never been exposed to the Nobel prize winning economists like Milton Friedman, Ludwig von Mises, and F.A. Hayek in that book. I wish I had not discovered learn liberty dot org that explained economic principles and laws with easily understandable and fun to watch videos when I was just beginning to comprehend them. Mostly I wish that I could feel the Bern because it's really effecting my wifoo hunt.

Okay I'll try to explain this without getting too boring. I'll just throw random dick jokes in if I feel like things are getting to stale. I just read a study that says that 64 percent of single women age 18-42 support Bernie. And with the current polarization of the country people are choosing sides. A lot of women won't even consider a sexual partner who doesn't share their political leanings. Let's do the math. 64 percent of eligible women in the country feel the bern. I live in Detroit about 900,000 people live here and growing. Deeply democratic with no Republicans in the city council or committees not even any running in the city in at least 40 years. New transplants are also from deeply democratic cities mostly New York city and San Francisco. I'd say that around 85 percent of single women are Democrat maybe higher. And 40 percent won't consider someone who doesn't hold the same leanings and that's being super conservative. (Ever noticed that a dick looks like a 70's stoner) I'm already out of the running with 40 percent of single women. That's significant. My odds of finding a relationship is diminished. Which would be more tolerable if good ole Bern wasn't such a idoit.

He's the thing. If you understand basic economics Bernie Sanders is baby Hughey. Well meaning but destructive. I won't get into the details too much but one of many fatal error in Socialism is the lack of self ownership. You're labor is a representation of your time and skills. You agree to trade labor ie time and skills for money. In a socialist system you're labor doesn't belong solely to you. It belongs to the society. And the society limits the benefits you get from your labor and rewards those who don't produce anything. So being the clever little apes we are we adapt to our environment and more and more people use the strategy of not contributing any our their own labor and collecting from the labor of others since there is no reason trading your labor when you can get the same about of benefit by doing nothing. That's when the whole system starts to collaspe. Because it is predicated on the excess labor of wealthy and middle class. When things start to fall apart that's when people who are really good at forcing people to contribute their labor and keeping them in line rise to power. It never fails. And this is the system that's helps contribute to me not finding someone. Thanks Bern.

I realized that I was going off topic in the middle of writing this but I was too far gone to turn back so this isn't as coherent as I would like. I'll do better next time.

I seriously doubt that is 64% of all women in the country. Probably 64% of likely voters and seeing as a huge chunk of the country doesn't vote I'm sure there's a big line of non Bernie voting pussy for you to choose from.

Margaret Thatcher once said, socialism is great until you run out of other peoples money. Wise up people.

Good read this morning.

I've become somewhat apolitical these days. Just tired of both sides screaming and ranting about the other side screaming and ranting. Both sides claiming they're the ones who are right, and everyone else is wrong. It's just gotten silly.

The problem with the different types of government is you have to have people involved to run/administrate it. And where there people running the system, you're going to have corruption, and people pushing their ideals as better than the next guy. It's always been that way, and sadly, probably always will.

    Quoting  :

There's a lot here I'll try to get to all of the points but no promises.

First point. Capitalism has nothing to do with the bailout out the banks. That is the banking system and politicall posturing. America has been capitalist since it's foundation. We didn't have a national Bank for most of our history until Woodrow Wilson established the federal reserve after world War one. Them came the depression Herbert Hoover did nothing because he was a financial guy and knew that the market would recovery which it did but it cost him reelection. That set a standard. Doing nothing equals political suicide. So when the next crash happened president Franklin Roosevelt just spent government money then WW2 they spent more but it lead to shortage and rationing and when the war was over the government was afraid to stop spending but when they did the growth grew faster but to the public it looked like the prosperity was due to spending. So when 2000 came along you had the public clamoring to do something and the financial advisors which were now a part of the government thanks to the formation of the Department of finance all to happy to exploit fears and ignorance of the banking system. If bailouts were apart of capitalism you would see them in every Capitalist country in the world but you don't. New Zealand and Canada were on the verge of financial collaspe in the 90's but they didn't bailout anyone. They cut spending and reformed their economies. China switched to capitalism in the 80's and are now going thru a recession but no bailouts. Switzerland has never had any problems with their economy but still a very capitalist nation. You're blaming the wrong system.

Point 2. Socialism gives money to undesirables. This goes back to self ownership. Capitalism is based on mutual exchange. If I want something from you I have to give you something in exchange because you own your body, mind and everything you produce unless we agreed on something different. Socialism doesn't require any exchange. Someone doesn't have to give you anything for the products of your body mind and labor they can just take and not give. That's why I said that in Socialism a person always arises to keep people in line. Because at some point enough people will choose the option to live off someone else's labor and keep their own it's just human nature. Why buy the cow when you get the milk for free. In economic terms it's called the tragedy of the commons.

Point 3. Okay not bombing a private business when it's clearly a target is just funny. Your fighting Nazis. The national socialist party. And you don't boom a private arms factory because it's capitalist. You're obviously fucking with Hitler. Also it's could have been a strategic plan. They didn't know that the Red Army would sack Berlin. In the event of the Allied forces would have the honors it would be great to have a armory complete with skilled workers on German soil that wasn't loyal to Hitler to quickly get munitions and supplies to the front without traveling all the way from France.

Point 3. Churchill's Spending lead to economic growth. See the American example but Churchill didn't stop the spending and it lead to England losing its place as a world superpower. To this day Germany has a better economy than The UK and they lost the war, had their capital city and financial institutions completely destroyed by the Russians and had their country split for a generation. The only reason why England isn't in worse shape is because Thatcher and the conservatives held their ground.

Point 4. Capitalism has done more to fix global warming than anything else a central planning is holding up the process. The technology just isn't ready for widespread use of green energy. That being said I don't know how it works in England bit in America the government allows one country to operate in an area. So there's no reason to innovate. It's why our power grid is ancient. If it ain't broke don't fix it. The only reason wind turbines and solar panels exist is to circumvent the law in the US. If companies were allowed to compete we would be far more advanced because companies would have to keep their customers. The reason why there's a new iPhone every year isn't because apple likes putting out products it's because if they don't Samsung will take all their customers.

Point5. The American health service isn't capitalism fault. It's government interference. No one went bankrupt because of health care when my mom was a kid. It's only started happening because of government forced insurance. If you don't pay the bills the hospital takes advantage and hikes up the price but if you look at medical services that insurance doesn't cover like plastic surgery and Lasick eye surgery the price has been falling because of competition. And The NHS maybe free but you get what you pay for. The wealthy don't go to the NHS for care they come to the US or South Korea and leave the poor to get neglected with subpar doctors terrible care. Also prices are going up so much in the NHS they are considering taxes on the unhealthy. So good luck with that.

My concept maybe false but we're communicating in a luxury compared to the rest of the world on a invisible network all possible through the system of capitalism. So it's not false.

I doubt they are STILL supporting Bernie given that he's not even running.

Here's a hint- trying to mansplain to women about why socialism is bad, isn't going to help you get laid either!

Anyway, yes - I do reserve the right not to have sex with people whose politics piss me off (right now that would be the Trump supporters). Lysistrata, baby.

I guess this could be classified as an red herring but not how you think. If you've ever tried online dating it's pretty much everywhere if you're a guy trying to find a girl. And that's were this came from. A very frustrated session back in the belly of the best known as ok cupid. It seemed like every profile was no conservatives or if Bernie 2020. There's a new breed of people who don't want to share a country with someone who disagrees politically you got no shot in getting in their bed. I would sleep with a white supremacist if I had the chance.

As for the pro. I pretty much given up on every having sex. I can't get over the risk. I am putting myself at risk for prison, disease and embarrassment. Also who wants to have sex with someone who isn't into it. I really don't want ask someone to do something they don't want to do just to satisfy my own selfish needs. While I do have periods of hormone induced lack of control ultimately I get back into my senses. I been a virgin for 34 years ago I can last another 40.

64 percent of single women around my age support Bernie. Older women don't usually look for younger men to date. They're are some cougars out their but they're few and far between. And they go for pretty boys.

Of course you have the right to refuse anything to anyone i never said that I was owed anything. I just tried to explain that I'm not in the popular camp right now and it sucks. Also I wasn't aiming this post at any gender just explaining my situation how can I mansplain at women when this post isn't gendered. Also what's the difference between mansplaining and explaining? Is it because I dared to try to explain something while being born with a penis?

I get what you mean. I do think this whole dating based on a political side is pure crap. What have we become? A bunch of whiny ass cry babies who cannot even have a dialogue because of politics. Sad it is. If a man judges me on what I do in the voting booth, he is not worth a second of my time. He is just too stupid for me. The good thing is he won’t even know what I do in the voting booth. He cannot be there.
I hope you meet a really nice someone one day. If you do, don’t bother getting into her politics. Just enjoy her.

There is explaining; and then there is explaining with a certain kind of lecturing, condescending tone. In my experience, yes, that particular tone usually comes from someone with a penis. Not ALWAYS. But often.
