Quote from: REWell, just chalk it up to me not going to the cool smart kids high school I guess, where perhaps politics are part of the curriculum. My political spidey sense isn't apparently what you think is normal for the 3 or 4 denizens allowed to roam freely here.Quote from: Pseudo TDoSQuote from: REThe Diner is a left wing communist/socialist website. You missed that spin?Looks like it. Never thought it as left wing communist, socialist leaning...maybe sometimes? Certainly not centrist or right wing.
Again, I can't see how you could have missed it. Perhaps because you're so obsessed with Peak Oil you don'r read anything else?
As far as the topic of the communists/socialists here, considering the small population to which you referred, it is difficult for me to confuse someone who talks about ideals that Marx and Lenin might have espoused with folks happily enjoying the fruits of their labors with multiple nice Germany luxury cars for all family members and a 7 figure investment in his own domicile. That is like $500k per person to lounge around! Would he really chuck all of that for Soviet style concrete towers where all the animals are equal regardless of results they deliver? Some animals are more equal than others of course...K-Dog appears to have earned his status through delivering said results, why would he want to walk the Communist walk at this stage of his life? I'm guessing there is intellectual discussion...and then RUN LIKE HELL from the results a Communist lifestyle.
Now you being a communist/marxist is fine, lacking the ability to generate the kind of economic results that K-Dog did makes you ripe for a "leveling of the playing field" philosophy as it were. I mean, "If the cool smart kid high school isn't enough to get me ahead all by itself and into the favor of the Illuminati, then the system must be rigged!" being the operative idea.
I will just stick with whatever words people want to use for the system the US is nowadays, where results can still be rewards even if K-Dog and I weren't tagged by the Illuminati for greatness as a young age, and those who can't deliver said results are rewarded with....whatever.
