"Makers vs. Takers" and why it's dangerous

[pErvinalia]

@Drewish.. Be careful how 'loudly' you shout that. Sociopaths will be the first to find their heads on the block when the poor say enough is enough.

[Calilasseia]

As quite a few French aristocrats discovered the hard way in 1789 or thereabouts ... and of course, the very concept of a modern secular state began not long afterwards.

[pErvinalia]

Yep! That's why I am perfectly comfortable using that rhetoric against people like Drewish and Seth. In fact, when it all goes down, I'll be right there with the poor helping them get adequately compensated.

Look for a street with a good array of lamp-posts...

[Drewish]

If it comes to that, I assure you that Seth and I are better armed.

[pErvinalia]

Lol. So are the poor. Libertarianism... delusional to the last.

Anyway, are you interested in having a rational conversation or are you truly really a sociopath? Lot's of people talk all sorts of shit on the internet, but I am still skeptical that there are that many openly sociopathic people in these forums. Are you really a sociopath, or is it just bluster?

[Warren Dew]

No, the people who think the likes of RMoney and the Rethuglicons are seeking to return us all to serfdom, are the people who read the evidence, Seth. Which the R-thugs have provided themselves in quantity.

Only if you're a Dumbocrat who thinks the Obama campaign's propaganda constitutes "evidence".

Ha ha. You're funny. Heard of Gary North, have you?

"North" and "Romney" are different people with different ideas, which is allowed since the Republican party permits diversity in its membership. Perhaps your political party doesn't permit its members to have different ideas about anything?

Sociopaths are known for their ability to manipulate neurotypicals, and will be the ones manning the guillotines.

[pErvinalia]

Yeah, you are probably right to an extent about that. Look at how certain people pulled the strings behind the "Tea Party" movement. The Teabaggers really had no idea what they were fighting for. But I suspect as inequality continues to widen and it gets to a point where the poor really have little option left but to turn to crime to support themselves, then there will be a pretty clear recognition of what the problem is (i.e. the greedy rich) and what has to be done to address that. No doubt many will turn against themselves, but eventually they will work out the path to justice. What happens after the point that the greedy pigs get dispensed is anyone's guess. We can only hope that we have learnt enough from the past to put a better society in place. Although, it might not matter a jot, as by that time we could be well and truly fucked due to global warming. It's not going to be a pretty future for anyone, regardless of wealth or class.

What bearing would my neurology have on anything? An argument must stand on its own merits, not those of its source. The same is true for refutation.

[pErvinalia]

If you really are a sociopath, then there is no point debating you. If you really think that it is acceptable in civilised society to say"fuck the poor", then you are beyond reason. And besides, I'm likely to call you a cuntface and threaten you in all manner of ways if you are a sociopath. That's not good for me or the forum.

[Drewish]

So it's not really about whether I am interested in having a rational conversation then, is it?

This is Rationalia! What ever made you think that was possible?!

[Azathoth]

There is a difference between selfishness and sociopathy Rev. I'm sure some sociopaths are libertarians but it does not follow that all libertarians are sociopaths

[macdoc]

Claiming a rational stance when you don't have one Drewish is simply more wishful thinking - which once more is a growing feature of the right these days.
It's like claiming to have an anti-evolution "rational argument".....there is not one.
