Alright shroomery, the lamestream legacy media is at it again. They're absolutely clueless, i mean, they probably never even cracked open a grimoire. It's actually very funny. That's about all... peace out.

all memes aside, styx is fine, he just cops flak from everyone because he's a centrist liberal or whatever he is.

people over the age of 50 should be barred from using the internet. (lol, old people can't understand jokes, that's one rationale for why they should be barred. "Why I wear a coat"

LOL! and the oldguy thinks it's news.)

no people, only CNN automatons, they are the only people i can listen to for opinions and news. :hypnotic:

PS: the retard in the video, LOL...too funny. it's his only day job!

yes, self-employment is a GOOD thing. i know some people think working for some rich cocksucker is a better lot in life. some people are not meant to work for themselves.

This is probably the 100th or so time we have to tell people this, but Bernie isn't calling for Venezuelan style socialism.

And as has been pointed out at least a dozen times before, people in other 'socialist' (in the Bernie sense) countries are much wealthier than Americans.

Akira, this isn't news; this is one guys opinion on the news.

Why do you feel this persons opinion is so qualified? You obviously hold it to high esteem, since you're lowkey trying to make everyone here puedo subscribed.

sure this is news. you have to be more consistent. news: "News is information about current events. Journalists provide news through many different media, based on word of mouth, printing, postal systems, broadcasting, electronic communication, and also on their own testimony, as witnesses of relevant events."

journalist: "A journalist is a person who collects, writes, or distributes news or other current information to the public." see: civic journalism: & see also: opinion journalism, muckraker journalism ("The term muckraker was used in the Progressive Era to characterize reform-minded American journalists who attacked established institutions and leaders as corrupt"), watchdog journalism: "Watchdog journalism can be located in a variety of news media, such as radio, television, Internet, and print media where it may be seen as "a unique strength of newspapers", and additional new media and concepts such as weblogs and citizen journalism.")


from the journalist wiki page:
"Matthew C. Nisbet, who has written on science communication, has defined a "knowledge journalist" as a public intellectual who, like Walter Lippmann, David Brooks, Fareed Zakaria, Naomi Klein, Michael Pollan, Thomas Friedman, and Andrew Revkin, sees their role as researching complicated issues of fact or science which most laymen would not have the time or access to information to research themselves, then communicating an accurate and understandable version to the public as a teacher and policy advisor."

also see: Blogging -- you can find it on the Journalism page.




but to answer your question, yeah, i find him a reputable source of all sorts of shit, but in this thread, i am posting news and politics, as per the requisite of this forum.

two talking points:

one: sure he isn't arguing for it...but alot of Sander's fans, and some other types of fanatics, claim that Venezuela is or was "good", even with Chavez. explain that with your worldview.

two: yes, wealthier, is that all you can say? but the argument isn't really about that (the argument that you're bringing up from another place entire than what has been stated in this thread- but it has been stated elsewhere.).

to argue about wealthier countries, well, we all can talk about that; piddling...it's pittance. less government regulation is better.

Definition of editorial

:a newspaper or magazine article that gives the opinions of the editors or publishers; also :an expression of opinion that resembles such an article

Re: General News Update Thread [Re: shivas.wisdom]

yeah, we're talking about journalism, not editorials. editorials are what they are called for a reason, and it's the same reason they can generally be skewed to shit garbage, on both sides of the political spectrum...and that is because they have a bunch of monkeys at typewriters, whom get reports, by and by, from CORRESPONDENTS (whom ACTUALLY deserve some credit here, since they ACTUALLY do something- in terms of mainstream news outlets and broadcasters), and then those articles written from those reports are taken and put through the blender to come be "edited" by the "editors" of the "editorial".

you have to take everything with a grain of salt, that means that i gather my news from any and all source, but take that grain of salt approach, and then i do not filter my news through the mainstream or "alt" media, but instead, filter my news through INDIVIDUALS, on forums (Shroomery, for example, used to be GREAT for news, not so much anymore...), online communities, et al.

:shrug: what the fuck don't you get still?

(PS: whoever keeps one upinng your posts, holy shit man...:lmafo: he's not saying anything, really...AUUUUHHHH editorials is the only news! is basically what this whole charade is implying, bahahahahah)

Some people (Akira's age) should get off the internet once in a while and maybe try getting a job.

You fancy yourself the end-all expert on internet humor.
'Trump was only joking'
when he said all that offensive shit that spews forth from his mouth.
Yea right.
You go ahead and just keep getting your news delivered one basement dweller to another.

Here's some news...
There's a real reason you're the third most nignored member here.
(anne doesn't count seeing as how she's been banned over 3 years.
Poid barely counts as he hasn't posted in just as long.)

I'd ignore your pontificating ass too except you make so many goddamn posts a day
that any thread you're in the continuity would disappear.

I'm done posting in your shitty 'news' thread now.
I'll go get my real news elsewhere.

:goodmorning: . . . :peace:

So what is more important to you than individual wealth, since you clearly don't care about that benefit of (Bernie style) socialism.

i could have gone either way, frankly, even if i WAS in your country. shit still isn't favorable, and it won't ever be with all this corporate shilling.


the government is a corporation. the municipal state is all a corporation -- it's all alike, and you keep framing this false dichotomy like it ain't the selfsame fucking thing, and you and people like you want to keep empowering them; they come in under the guise of giving you what you want, and like the conservatives they give you pittance, for decades down the road, as the two sides of idiots rive, trying to get their pittance, and all for the sake of keeping the lot of the wealth going towards them and not yourself. you just want that carrot that current drags you along. i want to make my own ends.

Empirical evidence, which I've shown time and time again, shows that people in countries with a little socialism do better.

I know you won't accept empirical evidence because your hairy chested idol likes libertarianism, but the facts are the facts.

Show me one country where libertarianism proved to be more successful, or where less socialism proved to be better than European (Bernie style) socialism.

wrong, but keep trying to get those snarky bits in there. i never would have been with you, but you're topped off with your highmindedness. that's fine. like i told you before, i'm going to find the middle ground. you keep saying "you've done this time and time again" and the thing is, i've said time and time again that there is such a thing as Libertarian socialism, and that i admit, and the "duster jacket wearing freak" in the thread here admits (which i've linked to you the source for said video, time and time again, here, let's do that one more time...)and you keep ignoring that, you keep ignoring the actual arguments made against you, put up no refutation, and keep resorting to the same tired line of 'i've already shown you something' -- that something which keeps getting reduced in it's significance each time you resort to it because it's not hardly ever an argument or refutation towards the claim that 'libertarianism doesn't work'. you NEVER make an argument, and you also, by and by, consistently deny any legitimacy to any opinions from any such bias, anyway- so it's pointless to argue with you- but yet you time and time again provide little to no refutation, save the same tired line; their wages went up incrementally! yeah, at the cost of their agency. come up with an argument against libertarianism, and we can debate, otherwise, i don't think anyone cares.

sure. but you could clarify that statement a little bit more, because what happens is they do "a little better". :smirk:

silly special pleading. let me point to a destabilized socialist nation first: Venezuela. there: now i'll answer to your loaded and specious questioning...Libertarianism isn't merely a political movement, it is an ideology and concept, a la Progressivism. it can be found in any regard, within any dichotomy, and still be true to form. if you are Liberating yourself from oppressive government, a la the Liberals/Socialists/Anarchists once did (and continue to do but in a different guise and intent now than they once had), then you can be said to be Libertarian (in otherwords, Libertarianism is only a RESPONSE to government...it is not a style of government in itself...but aside from that, it must be said that there has BEEN NO LIBERTARIAN NATION on the globe, per se. not in full, never, not one. so for both those reasons, i find your questioning facetious.

Weird how libertarianism is an ideology and a political movement and a concept and whole bunch of nuance involved, but Venezuela is a clear cut example of how Euopean socialism is a failure.
