Of course you don't care that 100M people were murdered by socialists
in only the last 100 years. That doesn't matter one tiny bit.

Krw lacks the mental flexibility to distinguish between democratic socialists (like the people running Scandinavia now) who don't murder people and totalitarian socialists (like Stalin and Mao) who do - mainly because once you have total power you can go mad and do all sorts of silly (and evil) things.

Democratic socialists have clearly known the difference since 1871, when the international socialist movement kicked out Karl Marx and his adherents precisely because their ideas about the "leading role of the party" were likely to lead worse despotism than anything around at the time.

The fascists *were* socialists, moron.

Mussolini was a socialist before he became a fascist - socialism wouldn't let him do what he wanted to do. Hitler's national socialist movement wasn't in the least socialist - he liked the name but completely rejected the principles.

Krw is the moron here - or worse. He gets told about this from time to time, but never learns - a skill which he does seem to have entirely lost.

You sort out the local power plants. It is going to happen - and is already happening in places where the oil extaction industry doesn't spend as much on lobbying the federal government.

Australian utility companies are now investing a lot more in solar farms and wind farms than in carbon burning generators (to the extent that the Australian federal government - which is heavily influenced by mining interests - is starting to whinge about it). The argument is that and solar and wind are cheaper. They may be intermittent, but that's what pumped stoage and batteries are for.

> A lot of power plants in Florida burn Natural Gas. There is some Nuclear, and a very little Solar, but they are bringing the new plant in Citrus online as another Natural Gas fired plant.

Which keeps the natural gas extraction industry happy. When sea level rise kicks in, Florida will be less happy, but they don't spend much per head on seconary education - eighth from bottom out of the 51 US states -

https://www.governing.com/gov-data/education-data/state-education-spending-per-pupil-data.html

so they won't worry about it until the water starts rising.

Who did you have in mind?

Slavers.

Slavery was universal throughout, no doubt before, recorded history.

Yup; sanctioned by both Judaism and Islam, and probably
other major religions.


What's remarkable is how Western democracies ended it.

It wasn't ended (here) because of democracy nor
because of capitalism. Moral indignation was the
driving force. Hence capitalism is irrelevant in
this respect.

In your country for a long time black men were
counted as 3/5th of a white man. I have no idea
how that figure was derived!

The British were the great slavers; they bought and transported
millions of Africans to the new world and out them to work. The US
inherited a chunk of the British slave empire.

At that stage we were the leading capitalist economy,
and we ended the practice before the USA.

The US had a huge agricultural industry that used slaves, for cotton
and sugar cane and tobacco. Britain didn't have as much use for
slaves. When the USA was formed, the slave-based agricultural
interests would not have signed up if it meant freeing their labor.

Slavery wasn't good for the general population of the South, but it
was good for the politicians who signed the Constitution. And it was
also good for the industries of the North.

(My ex daddy-in-law was a sugar cane farmer in Louisiana. All his
labor was black, not much removed from slavery.)

Note that the word capitalist, while accurate, is only
relevant in the context of recent conversations
stating that socialism starved and murdered millions.
In reality no political system has clean hands.

Too many modern apologists like to put all the blame
on the UK's entrepreneurs. In reality they slaves
were "created" in W Africa by Africans, and "used"
in the Americas by Americans. The UK merely
acted as Yodel/Hermes, transporting and delivering
them in poor conditions.

(Yodel/Hermes are the local hated parcel carriers)

The cruelty in transport, in the ships, was awesome.

https://www.encyclopediavirginia.org/slave_ships_and_the_middle_passage

Racism is probably wired into our biology, and we are just starting to
overcome that.

I have worked with African men with PhDs. WAY smarter than me.

What folks need to realize is that despite you wanting to call
someone inferior because of some expressive trait or such that they
have that fails to match your ideal look, folks are all equal, and
we need to raise them with that confidence.

To fix this, we need to segregate kids AWAY from their older

Twilight Zone convoluted mentalities in aheartbeat. Our current

The USA is slowly getting homoginized, with a lot more inter-racial
friendships and mating than in the past. Especially in big cities.
Asians seem to blend right into the common social and economic
culture, and anglo-asian differences are almost invisible.

My next-door neighbors are one gay couple (anglo and filipino) and two
MDs, of Indian and Mexican descent. We feel sort of boring, being
plain pale Irish Americans.

African-Americans have not blended into the common culture as well,
despite mostly being here longer. Many black Americans retain their
own culture (language, dress, names, mating, locations) which has its
upside and downsides. San Francisco is ever increasing its asian
population and losing its black population. I have about 10 asian
employees, five native Spanish speakers, and one black engineer.

You are getting good...

I especially like how foreigners tell us how to live when the only information they have about us is from the media. Oh yeah they were here fro three months back in fucking 1967 so they are an expert on life here.

If we don't give up our guns and vote for Hillary we are stupid, insane or uninformed. They should know, they're ten fucking thousand miles away.

"We have less mass shootings than you".

"Yeah, and we don't have people in jail for hate speech". (well CLOSE to true, but usually you have to DO something here)

The Linux dude, well, he makes sense every once in a while. Usually on electronics. Slowman is hopeless. Even if his indoctrination wasn't so complete he is too old to change. He never saw any consequences.

Now bit, he is a liberal but not an ultrasickening liberal. He has much less severe TDS.

JL isn't particularly hip to the influence time or culture in
his analysis of world history; in his universe Hitler and
Stalin and Mao became "socialist" one day and all evil sprung
out of that one decision, and not the fact that these were
people who had an enormously effective personality cult
surrounding them and that their attraction to the people, the
masses of millions of people who desperately wanted them to be
in power (at least for a while), was almost entirely divorced
from what they actually believed about organizing a society.

What were Hitler, Stalin, and Mao's actual convictions on what
principles should be used to organize a society? Well if you
read their writings what you'll notice is that for the most
part it seems like they didn't really have many. Or at least
nothing particularly consistent. It varied with time and
political necessity. The only really consistent thing about
them was that they were inconsistent in what they believed
about things

Their most dangerous conviction was that they were always right
about everything and should therefore control everything.

The same is true of rampant free-marketeers and libertarians.

But they have to compete. And we have elections.



The least dangerous thing that attitude causes is to wreck the
economy.

Unfortunately rampant capitalism (and their accountants and MBAs)
/did/ wreck the economy.

"Capitalism" was a slur invented by Marx. We don't live in a world
dominated by Capital. I don't think anyone ever has.

Even if correct, that wouldn't change the principal point.

Capitalists /did/ wreck the economy.

Is the economy wrecked? I hadn't noticed. Which Capitalists did that?

Didn't you notice the 2007 crash? Many people did, and many are still
suffering from the consequences.


That was mostly a real estate bubble with a lot of paper profits and paper
losses.

Yup. Traditional capitalist speculation at work.

No speculation at all. The government backed the packaged junk.
Without the federal government, those dodgy loans would never have
been made.

It was driven by Fanny and Freddy here, quasi-government entities. They
encouraged banks to lend, so the banks did. Capitalist banks never would have
made the insane loans that they did if they couldn't hand off the rotten
packages to the government.

Yup. That is indeed what the capitalists did, and how
the capitalists screwed the economy and us and our
children.

No, that's what *government* did.

>Not communists. Not socialists. Capitalists.

Wrong.

Which capitalists did that? Those that created CDAs and lent money to
people that were never going to be able to afford repayments. When it went
pear-shaped they walked away and let you, me and our children pick up and
repay the debts.

The people that did that were accountants and MBAs and bankers, and I doubt
even a brain-dead libertarian would think they were socialists or
communists.

As the wags put it, "Osama bin Laden would have been more effective if he
had been a banker".


Another example, currently playing out...

My cousin works for a large aerospace company, and they are in the process
of being merged with another aerospace company to make synergistic
savings.

Raytheon and Collins? Collins/UTAS/Pratt is one of my best customers.
Raytheon is pretty good too.

I /think/ Collins is part of it, and I /think/ UTAS
is where my cousin is - but his company seems to change
name/ownership every couple of years and I'm too bored
to keep track.


Unfortunately there is no overlap between the two companies, so there is no
duplication to remove.

I just read an interview with the CEO of Raytheon, in Aviation Week. He
expects a billion a year in profit from synergies. The merger would have been
forbidden on antitrust grounds if there had been much market overlap.

I'm expecting good things here. Raytheon is a lot better at electronics than
UTAS. The synergy isn't in markets, it's in skills.

My cousin's company is nothing to do with electronics,
and that's possibly the basis of the lack of synergy.

As I understand it, and that's a weak statement, the
lack of synergy is in skills as well as anything else.


Nonetheless savings must be made, presumably to repay the highly leveraged
buyout.

If we're talking Ratyheon and Collins/UTC, it's a stock deal, a merger. No
debt is involved.

Pass.

Nonetheless, the result (I'm told) is that the US
will lose skilled profitable work and capability.

That's what I thought.
I'm on 500 mG, twice a day (before lunch and dinner), but I nearly always forget to take the dose at dinner. I suspect I am under-dosed, somewhat self-inflicted.

Try cutting one of them in half, and take half at lunch, with the other at suppertime. It's easier to remember if you take it with every meal, and it reduces the urge to overeat. I learned that when I started taking Metformin, but by the time I had been diagnosed with Diabetes, it had already damaged my already poor vision.

I believe that is what I said, vision is damaged by >>>uncontrolled<<< diabetes.

It seems that Michael's diabetes pleases you no end. Typical lefty.

How many best sellers have you written?

How many books?

Do you own any books?

So far as we can tell, he hasn't even *read* a single book in his entire
life.

Do comic books, or coloring books count?

How about regular visits to a bookie?

It's about time that the EVs and Biofuel tax cheats start paying
their fair share of the cost for roads and bridges.

This is about the most retarded crap ever.

You are one of those fucktards that think bike riders have no right
to use the roads to, eh?

Fuels tax does not pay for roads. Vehicle registration and license
fees and state income taxes and federal income taxes do.

AlwaysWrong.

Tax cheats? You are a fucking tax retard... put that on the rest of
the list of things you are stupid about.

Moron buys an EV, then damns everyone who won't. I haven't owned a car in over 25 years. Only trucks. The last car was a high powered, retired Sherriff's cruiser. I've owned smaller cars, but I am tall, and they were painful to drive. Even some trucks are too small for me to drive. My favorite car was a restored 1966 red GTO that could wrap the speedometer back to the zero pin.

I bought it with a blown engine and rebuilt it. I installed a heavy duty three speed automatic transmission in it, and modified the drive train and chassis to make it fit, in place of the two speed Powerglide transmission. Gasoline was 8.9 cents a gallon for high test, on base, and it wouldn't hold three dollars worth of gasoline.


The latest is a large SUV, because I needed the low chassis, and extra legroom to be able to get in and out without help. You can stick your electric skateboards where the sun doesn't shine, along with all your lies.

The United States of America is exporting oil, bitch!

How does it feel that every vehicle you've ever owned is pig dog slow compared to a Tesla? My model X which has plenty of room and carries up to 6 passengers will still stomp on anything you've ever owned. It won't wrap the speedo needle though, doesn't have one.

Musk's bitch at work. Amazing, even for a fanboi.
