What does this have to do with the conversation? Yes, I think Republicans voters are dangerous idiots. I'm explicitly talking about all of them, not an extreme few. It's the opposite of what you do.
So, you're now complainging that I don't generalize the entire political grouping of Progressives as the same as the idiots, but you say all Republicans are dangerous idiots. All of them.
Look, it's not just the extreme few, unless you consider your own views to be among the extreme. You advance various dopey, ridiculous notions and you seem to think they're mainstream.
You wouldn't have a fucking clue what was mainstream. You live in a far right-wing news bubble.

I agree with NB. Capitalism is currently in the process of making the planet unfit for its inhabitants. It may be too late to do much about it, but banning an alternative ideology isn't one of them.
Capitalism has done more good for more people over the past 200 or so years, and especially worldwide over the last 30 years, than any other economic system. Capitalism has done more to eliminate poverty than communism or socialism ever could, or ever offered to do.
That doesn't mean that capitalism has been any good for the planet. It's fucked the planet.
Your burden to prove your assertion. I've proved mine multiple times before.
You don't believe in global warming and ecological extinctions?
Your burden to prove your assertion. Go for it. And, the assertion wasn't "I believe in global warming and ecological extinctions." You made a specific claim. Back it up, if you can.
Pervin's assertion "capitalism has fucked the planet" -- go!
You'd have to be living under a fucking rock to not know about global warming and mass extinction events.
The assertion was "capitalism has fucked the planet" -- Please explain.
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar
