Yeah, that’s statism, which is more associated with National Socialism than actual socialism.
And yet they have not been. Women who do not qualify for particular jobs… don’t get them.
Yet another RW talking point bot. Might be genuine flesh and blood, but is just spouting the bot-generated propaganda.
Nothing (worthwhile) to see here.
And if my place according to the great institutions is at the bottom, you bet I won’t be “satisfied” or consider them that great or worth “conserving.”
THAT as I’ve said before is a key basis of American “Conservatism”: that everyone must know their place, and stay in their place, and that this is ordained by either God or Nature, that if you don’t rise above it is just because you haven’t “merited” it, and this order must be conserved.
Good to see the talking-point generator has evolved to the point it admits that on-script.
I just feel this needs to be repeated, so everyone can pause and smell the bullshit.
(sniffffff)
whew! That’s potent! I have more rights because of my “position in life”. That’s not a dog whistle. That’s a dog foghorn.
Loss of privilege feels like oppression.
Change comes from below. Nobody with four aces hollers for a new deal.
“Conservatism” is the recognition that in the Eiffel tower-shaped tapering spire of inequality, your personal spot is high enough you could be injured in a fall to the bottom. So anything that moves the status quo even imperceptibly slightly just might topple the entire edifice and so must be resisted with all your might. Proportionality or fairness have nothing to do with it.
It’s always and only “I got mine!!!”
Controlling the means of production is a major part of Communism and Socialism. That gives the government the power far greater means to control the economy and the people.
Ideally, you attain your place by your own efforts. It is true, that there are some born with a silver spoon in their mouth who have things handed to them, but we really can’t do much about them. For most of us, though, we work hard to get to where we are.
It is human nature that if we put a lot of effort into something, we value it and want to keep it.
Sure we can. Tax them out of existence. Kill them and eat them. Lots of things we can do!
We have rights to earn a upper class lifestyle by our own efforts. None of us have a right to an upper class lifestyle just for existing.

That sounds like something a Commie would say.

Socialism has nothing more to do with government than capitalism does. (Well, it shouldn’t, but capitalists loves them some socialism when it’s to their benefit.)
Welcome to the tax the rich “Left”.
But that’s not what you said. At all. Nobody is claiming a right “to an upper class lifestyle”.
What you said is:
Most Conservatives I know are for more or less equal rights, although many do have the view that because of their hard work and position in life, they should perhaps have more rights
“More or less equal rights”. Jesus Christ, this is disgusting.
“Perhaps have more rights”. Even more disgusting.
Nobody is thinking that there is any "right’ for ANYBODY to have an upper class lifestyle. This is not what human rights are about.
Here you go: Which one of these do you think you should have MORE OF, because of your “position in life”?
Bill of Rights | U.S. Constitution | US Law | LII / Legal Information Institute
I love this. With your permission, I’m stealing it.
Perhaps needing change comes from below.
I hadn’t thought of that. But the multitude of new converted warehouses, nation-wide, do need filling with detainees who can be put to hard labor. So Constitutional!!!
Seriously, I doubt that even the most ardent Heritage Foundation member is dreaming (yet) of removing the nation’s millions of married women from their homes and putting them to work in detention camps. That’s for Spanish-speaking people only.
So far.
Jorkin Dapeanus Vance says the Iranians are working on nuclear vests.
I love how the one “gotcha” they have in that video is a heavily-edited clip with at least two places where they cut out part of what he was saying. It’s impossible to tell what Barr was actually saying from that video.
That, in the middle of a bunch of AI-generated slop.
This was/is state of the art nuclear miniaturization. Atomic demolition munition - Wikipedia. Call it a stupid-bulky 50lb backpack.
The nature of fissionable materials being what they are, further shrinkage defies the laws of physics much more than the mere state of engineering art.
