FB wants you to know politicians are your superiors.

I like how they still kept the door open to remove posts that are "incorrect" or "offensive". In other words, if they wanted to remove all Republicans posts, they can.

I got downvoted to hell on reddit one day when I stated that removing "russian attempts to influence elections" is actually censorship.

It's only bad when it hurts your own team.

When you cut off a person's tongue, you're only saying you fear what he has to say.

Why'd you post that here?

Anyway, that is, literally, what's going to end humanity. Once we remove the incentive to work hard, improve ourselves, and to create, we're just going to curl up and die as a species.

Please explain to me the difference between what they're proposing, and what the Amish already do and believe.

It is hilarious that this type of logic is praised by people who call themselves "progressives".

WHY DON'T PEOPLE STOP DOING WHAT I DONT WANT THEM TO DO. This will always be my #1 problem with progressives. And conservatives.

Ostensibly they keep working because they are rewarded by the market. And they get rewarded largely for being good at what they do (Baby Bidens and Trumps excluded)

Agree, but to be fair (TO BE FAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRR), we're doing exactly that all the time as well:
-Why don't people stop being morons?
-Why don't people stop being selfish?
-Why don't people stop voting for politicians that have been in office since dinosaurs walked the Earth?
-Why don't people stop worshiping the Kardashians?
-Why don't all these hot young women stop not having sex with us?
...you get my point.

In this case, I believe it comes down to us wanting people to stop expecting everything to be done for them or handed to them. You don't have a right to ___________ just because you exist. Sorry, that's not how it works. Take a look at the natural world and show me when lions won't eat a baby gazelle because it was only born with three legs or because it got some other disadvantage. That gazelle, sad as reality is, would be lunch.

People bust their ass to be successful because:
1. They get rich.
2. They get fame.
3. They get power.

All of that leads to getting top shelf pussy (or dick).

Take away #1 from that list and you'll get people willing to do anything to get #2 and #3. What type of person wants #2 and #3? Mass shooters and dictators. :D

I want people to stop doing those things, but I won't MAKE them do those things.
