I've only encountered SJWs online.

If someone actually spouted that nonsense in public around me, they would most likely be laughed at until their ear drums imploded.

I had a coworker, real cunty 23 year old bitch with a really nasty case of RBF that left the company awhile back. On cinco de mayo she refused to wear a sombrero when the owner's generally cheery and excitable wife was trying to get a festive office photo, stating "this is cultural appropriation, and i will not participate in it". I used to covertly trigger her on purpose and then pretend that at i wasnt even aware of my aggressions WHILE doubling down on them "unintentionally".

She went on the whole pussy hat march and came back to the office the next monday glimmering about it and frequently repeating, "if you see a notzi punch him in the face" laughingly. She brought a coroplast sign with "corn head" and a rudimentary drawing of donald trump to work one day and staked in front of my car.

She tried to stage a cry-in with the rest of girls at the office the day President Donald-fucking-Trump won the elections. God i miss chiding that insufferable bitch

Awwww how adorable.

Also poor Donald, that must have been really hard on you both!111

If you've never had a sister or gone through the princessy stage yourself, youre kinda skipping a bit of the journey.

Kinda like dodging the draft with a doctor's slip...

I dont get mad at a dog for barking. But i did play the perfect courtier, always smiling. She could never quite be sure that i just did what i did on purpose, and there was a rather machiavellian aspect to it, that used to keep me chuckling to myself about it throughout the workday. *waxes nostalgic*

Bunch of Jon Snows. Throwing around "buzzwords" like "economic inequality" as if economic inequality is even a problem. They think we need "economic equality", but they don't understand that THEY THEMSELVES are the 1%. Anyone who makes over 35,000$/year in the United States is afforded a quality of life better than 99% of the world's population. You want economic equality in a world without borders? Do you even realize what you're saying? Should I start building your mud hut in the Mojave now?

So less than half of America is the global 1% (and I assume you mean income not wealth).

Look, I can tell by just a small sample of your posts that your extremely unlikely to say anything about socialism I haven't heard from Fox News 10,000 before. In yet, you probably couldn't explain Marx's theory worth shit and have no understanding why it continues to be a popular theory in all kinds of academics. You actually haven't engage in learning about modern socialism, what you have done is engage in learning modern anti socialism, which has always been sponsored by deep pockets.

But lets forget all about Marx. I certainly don't one to have another discussion about how enividable Leninism is from someone who can't explain the difference between Marx and Lenin's theories to me. Let's talk about why people are suddenly asking for socialism on the least likely country on the globe.

Because in other countries with similar GDP per capita (there actually all less per capita) -- workers get paid x3 times as much (on the bottom levels), work less, get more time off (on all levels), education and healthcare is free and not a god damn one of them is working past 70 to save to retire.

Meanwhile, their GDP goes up at a similar rate to ours every year. They private corporations that are globally competitive. They have millionaires and billionaires and you can become a millionaire or billionaire in these countries -- statistically its now easier than in America (social mobility has been going down since Regan).

So its obvious whats going on. We can pay workers more without some horrible happening. And that's precisely the fact the more and more normal working people are waking up to.

We can call it socialism. But really. A lot of it is just Keynesian economics dressed up as socialism. Places like Germany and Sweden that are often cited are considered capitalist economies.

The elite on the Right and Left know their in trouble. So they have been playing up a few themes that keep Americans off of leftwing politics.

1) Abortion

2) Blacks and crime

3) Religion and Trans people

4) Free speech on colleges and grievance studies.

The poor disagree on these...so do the rich but their smart enough to understand it doesn't actually matter that much compared to:

1) Workers rights, wages, and benefits

2) Costs of living, healthcare and education

3) Military spending and foreign policy

Those things are not talked about very seriously on MSNBC, Fox, CNN or any of the other 6 different sources of news we are allowed to have. Discluding a few youtube and talk radio guys.

So we can talk about socialism, abortion, blacks and crime and all that...But the truth is -- its not all that important. Whats important is who can address those three things above me.

Uh huh. Dont know the difference between marxism, lenninism, stalinism, and maoism. Also dont know anything about critical deconstruction theory. Dont know anything about nihilism.

Funny how you mention the "success story" of countries far "whiter" than the US on the verge of economic collapse as swathes of muslim hordes sweep through their countries raping their women whilst the cuck men are seemingly more interested in sucking each other's dicks while singing the anthem of socialist fantasy.

How much of the medical, and technological innovation is coming out of these countries, again? Comrade?

Just for the record, i've never been against elevating unionization and rebuilding the strength that America once had when a unionized labor force transformed this country from a much more laissez faire form of capitalism as depicted in the grapes of wrath. However, unionization has failed us in recent years with its corruption and stifling business practices. Hell, longshoremen where cutting the breaklines in trains up in the portland metro just a few years back, because the union on the vancouver side of the columbia was a little more negotiable than their Oregonian counterparts. That couldve killed people.

[Throndor]

Unionization actually used to be rather productive. Ever been to the Hoover Dam? It took a unionized workforce FIVE years to build that absolutely stunning feat of civil engineering. Meanwhile, back on the ranch, california has been "building" a bullet train to nowhere for the past 12 years, hardly laying any track at all, pocketing billions and paying the ceo of the unionized operation more than we pay the CEO of amtrak, a track that actually exists, and spans the entire country.

[mickmoranis]

It's funny how the Union protecting party also protects illegal immigration.

There sure is a lot of having your cake and eating it too with the Democrats
