his opinions are not "bad", they're disgusting, gag worthy even

people like him I feel guilty to even have 1 millionth of an association with, and I mean that

I like him. He knows a lot about music. Plus, I think a lot of times he writes things that are actually pretty vague but get interpreted in the worst light. I think he’s a guy who wants to broaden the social safety net and use what he believes are free market innovations to improve people’s life. Naturally that doesn’t fit with my deep hatred for capitalism but I get that he’s a good dude that sees another path to reach similar empathetic goals.

Plus, this is a music forum and he makes interesting recommendations.

As for feeling guilty about associating with his ideas or whatever. Dude, look where you work. Look what I was doing. I was working a job that caters to a certain disastrous future of unsustainability. I’m totally part of the problem and so are you. We’re not better than Ant. We have no moral standing. We’re not just victims we’re guilty participants.

Well personally I might need a little more self-reflection before I start throwing stones. Like I did with Norg and I was being totally lame.

what in the ****kkk man is this post

Did you read any of what Big3 said after me? He seemed to get it.

Someone who has spent time looking at, say, the latter part of the Roman Empire's history, followed the campaigns of the Mongols, etc. can understand what I'm talking about. You will never live in a world where there isn't something akin to a global superpower, especially with where society is today. The question you need to ask yourself is - if the U.S. as you know it was completely dismantled tomorrow, who would fill those boots and would they be more humane in some way overall? I'd say no, since China and Russia are the two most likely candidates who would do so under those circumstances. Candidate #3 (longer shot) might be Saudi Arabia.

One of the reasons (as OH pointed out) that I wanted Yang to win was because I wanted someone leading the U.S. who was A. Technical B. Compassionate and C. Innovative and flexible in ways that Bernie isn't and expand the safety net as needed. Because the only thing that is going to save humanity from itself is better technology coupled with better policy that takes into account a decrease in scarcity brought about by those advancements.

What a coincidence, I was right about to advise you to recuse yourself from the thread if you're only going to be a dick towards Anteater.
