    Thing is, that is just hourly, in our sales department it's 17.50 base rate with commissions. When I worked in sales I was averaging over 28$ an hour.

    Was great when i was working on my undergrad.

    Anyway, point is those jobs exist, if you're willing to put in the effort.

    On MMO-C we learn that Anti-Fascism is locking arms with corporations, the State Department and agreeing with the CIA, But opposing the CIA and corporate America, and thinking Jews have a right to buy land and can expect tenants to pay rent THAT is ultra-Fash Nazism.

    So you're a fascist, by your own acknowledgement.
    Incredible. Now if you criticise left wing politics that oppressed and murdered millions you're a fascist.....

    He's right, 28/hour job exists uniformly, in every place, at every time in the US. You aren't looking hard enough.

    How did that work out for them?
    Can’t compare a country struggling to reconstruct itself after losing a World War to modern day.

    I agree with you that these things aren't happening like they should, but in many cases there's nothing we can do about them. This is a hydra, if you cut down one lobbyist that's paying and influencing another will take it's place. There's really nothing we can do about this.

    My disagreement with you is on your word of "owe", not on the statements you're generally making. These things "should" be provided. We should strive to make them even across the board, and we should fight for equality in these feilds. But to say that you're "owed" the labor of others because you were born on a piece of land, or have a paper saying you belong on that piece of land is something I don't agree with.

    What is a stretch about what I said about basic education?

    Safe working environments: OSHA, EPA, DOT say otherwise.

    If you don't think government is capable of being competent then why in the hell are you on here talking about it? Why do you vote?

    Your disagreement is irrelevant. We are OWED those thing in this society. There's documents, laws, taxes paid, etc. that absolutely show we are OWED things.

    Of course you can, incendiary rhetoric and scapegoating minority populations for economic woes is a great parallel.

    Authoritarianism is a matter of degrees; 1-100, not 1 or 0.
    Every structure of order or hierarchy of competence has elements of authoritarianism, from a government to a corporation to a classroom.

    So it isn't very meaningful to say that nationalism is authoritarian, and actually naive to claim that simply enforcing borders is some kind of immoral dealbreaker.

    A nationalist government imposing its subjective definition of who's "patriotic" enough would essentially be a totalitarian dictatorship where minority populations and political dissidents would be eliminated.

    Lol, have fun with that guys.
    Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.

    Just, be kind.

    I can because they are the exact same kind of people. Extremist with extreme views that could potentially pull a country down a path to ruin.

    The country will be MUCH better off without both the extreme left and extreme right. Both sides killing each other out would be good for the 95% of the population that don't belong to either side.

    Honestly, I am with them. As part of the lower class in America whom is treated like dirt, I want civil war to spark. As a person on the shit end of this society, I welcome a chance to see it all burn because I have nothing to lose and all to gain. And my disenfranchised portion of the population is steadily growing.
    Um.. okay.. Good luck with that buddy. Trump has control of the national guard and military you know. And I don't think you know what a civil war entails. After the 4 years Trump is gone. After 4 years the bodies who are killed in a civil war don't come back.

    Its people like nanook that drive moderate liberals away from the left and are becoming more centrist. I miss classical liberalism.

    Not really. If you see aspects of modern conservatism, including the current leadership of the presidency and legislature appealing, you were never liberal/progressive.

    Oh show me the job listings. Man I guess conservative internet heroes are just the most productive, most hard-working, intelligent, ambitious people who never tire to find the well paying jobs that are just around the corner.

    Call it whatever you want, people with a conscience and good hearts are already leaving the left because of this garbage.

    Good job, those are two historical examples of what happens when you have a nationalistic country. Tell your buddy who can't reply with quote.
