Lazy. Godwin's law can't be so heavily applied it lets the fascists do anything they want in plain sight The law is only applicable involving a rebuttal, not to the opening. Otherwise it would be impossible to discuss Nazis on the internet.
So anyone disagree with any of the points except on a misunderstanding Godwin's law? And if not, what is actually going on?
Discussions about Nazis are fine...If the original subject is, in fact, Nazis. There was no point to bring it up regarding your liberal thoughts.
Addressing the listed issues We do take care of the weakest members, just not as well as we should or could. Grade C-. Healthcare is a privilege like everything else. We have no rights. That said we should and could do better. Good start would be tort reform to reduce cost. C+ Post secondary tuition is out of control. First address why cost is so high. Quality of education is pitiful. Far too much emphasis on social justice rather than learning. Grade F Social programs cost money so we have taxes. Most programs are useful and well intentioned. Very poorly managed and filled with corruption. Grade D Fast food isn't a career and pays accordingly. Most skilled positions are grossly underpaid. Most senior managers are grossly overpaid. Don't really know how to fix that, but we need to address it in a nonpartisan way. Lots of lip service, little action. Grade D All forms of organized religion should be free to teach whatever they want in the proper venues. Needs to be completely removed from politics unless they start paying taxes. Political pandering for voters needs to stop.Grade F Gay and lesbians do have the same rights. There will always be some discrimination. Impossible to undo sins of the past. No retributions for this or anything else. Too much pandering to the activists and mentally ill fringe. Shouldn't even be a political issue. Grade D More later
It is in the original subject. "11. I believe our current administration is fascist. Not because I dislike them or because I can’t get over an election, but because I've spent too many years reading and learning about the Third Reich to miss the similarities. Not because any administration I dislike must be Nazis, but because things are actually mirroring authoritarian and fascist regimes of the past." Leaving the drift in this direction since the Nixon impeachment aside Trump is a copycat. Smart enough to copy but not be truly original. He copied Barron Hilton, Roy Cohen, others and when as a German (not Swedish) when he needed a winning strategy for a nation.. He copied guess who and gang. Its absolutely clear, if you think not I can't see how you can be serious.
So.. So far you hold basically the same values as many right wing news pundits etc. badge as liberal. Most liberals agree I expect that rights are silly as anything that can be taken away is a privilege.
America already does this. All republicans agree that we should take care of our weakest members only we go one step further and wish to protect the unborn. Something liberals don't agree with. Lets say for a minute that healthcare was a right. Does this mean you think that the government should pay for our rights? Will the government buy me a gun, because we have the right to bare arms? Will the government pay for me to start my own newspaper(freedom of the press)? This is a common deceptive tactic of the left. Call something a "right" like healthcare, but what they really mean is the right to take money from someone else to pay for it. It's 2020. All human knowledge is easily and cheaply reached on the internet. There is nothing that is taught at a university that can't be googled. This entire paragraph contradicted itself. This sentence is way too simplistic in its thinking. People that think this way are almost NEVER paying any federal income tax. Companies pay the fair market rate to their employees. If there are 100,000 labor jobs and 200,000 people willing to work those jobs, the wages are going to be low. If there are 100,000 labor jobs and 50,000 workers to fill those jobs, the wages will be high. If you want to earn more, do something that is in demand. What scripture did some politician try to legislate into law? Thou shall not kills? Thou shall not steal? They did have the SAME rights as us before gay marriage. They were allowed to marry someone of the opposite sex, just like straight couples were allowed and they were not allowed to marry someone of the same sex just like straight couples were not allowed. So these weren't the *same* rights they wanted. They were special rights. No, you think they should get to break the law and not suffer the consequences. If you steal $10, you should have to pay back $10 when caught to be made whole. If you break an item in the store, you should have to pay for it to make the store owner whole. If you break the law to come here illegally, the way to make the victim whole is to send them back. It's common sense. Agree mostly with this. Apparently you haven't read enough because you'd realize the Nazis were about giving free healthcare and disarming the public. The irony of being against racism and misogyny and in the next sentence saying something racist and misandristic. *shakes head* There should be no laws with guns. It's in the bill of rights. But your whole statement is a lie when you say "common sense gun regulations". We know what that means. That means coming after the guns YOU find scary. I believe this too. But I don't think there should be a law punishing people who arent. This is a big topic to touch on. Obviously, we'd all love it if we could just switch to solar and wind tomorrow and not have any devastating economic effects. But the truth is, when renewable energy is cheaper than dirty energy, we will switch over no matter what. Can you tell me one job where women who do the same work(and bring the same value) as men don't get paid the same? I said it like that because I know you'll bring up womens soccer. They do the same work, but they don't bring the same value because they don't get the viewership so while it's technically the same work, it's not the same value. But of course theres the other side of the coin too. Like women make 10x more for the same work in porn that men do. It's all about value.
