Largely because you know they can’t run forever. You’ll find them again and repay the favor. Different on retail where I’m not likely to run into whoever the hell from random dead server like Drenden ever again unless I hunt them down.
Classic being server specific has those interesting social interactions. Like on Faerlina I gank Kybai and Nicksta every chance I get because they’re trash players and I know they hate me just as much as I hate them and I will be battling with them until the end of the Classic experience, or we all quit.
Invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq are largely viewed as negatives on both ends of the political spectrum. The only people who seem to still support these ideas are the warhawks in Congress who line their pockets by keeping us perpetually stuck there. Like I said in another post. I sincerely hope there was an extra warm spot in Hell reserved for McCain and I am glad he kicked the bucket and I’ll be just as overjoyed when George W Bush and Obama go the same way for all their warmongering nonsense.
I’d be perfectly down for a purely AnCap society and watching it play out. Wouldn’t have to worry about rights being restricted because my rights would be whatever the hell I would want them to be and my money would be purely my own and whoever sought to try and take either from me had best be ready for a fight.
Im still dumbfounded that the same people that complained about govt, primarily military, spending were so against trump pulling the military out of other countires and wanting other countries to contribute more to the UN and NATO. Thats almost half of our govt spending cut right there. Thats when I finally realized what TDS was. Now we have ppl supporting impeachment because trump wanted to hold of on aid to historical corrupt govt (that $1.7 billion in tax payer backed loans disappeared from one of their banks) until the new regime would agree to work towards stopping the corruption
Because like I said. A lot of people don’t argue on principle so much as ideology. For a lot of them their ideology boils down to the typical “Red vs Blue” way of thinking. I said this with Obama and I will say it with Trump. They could themselves find the cure for cancer and every vile disease. The opposing party would say he put doctors out of a job.
Yeah, I never understood how we can usually all agree on how bad our cartoonish government spending is, but when it comes to where we should cut it that it largely differs. The Far Left salivates over the idea of Sanders trying to tax the uber wealthy at 90% as if that’s ever going to happen. Or wet themselves over Warren’s tax plan which by her own numbers given would basically generate a whopping 200 billion in tax revenue presuming it plays out perfectly for her with no exploited loopholes. To which I just sigh and say “Wow, you say imagine what they can do with that 200 billion. Imagine what our government could do with 4 trillion. Oh wait, we drop that much every single year and our spending is so out of control that even that outlandish number isn’t enough. Surely another 200 billion will solve all of our problems!”
But the people controlling the pursestrings in Congress refuse to adopt any financial responsibility with our tax dollars and rather than reallocate from failed projects and downsizing in specific areas that can use it, they’d much rather just propose the problem is that they don’t have enough of our money to waste so we need to give them more.
I’d actually be fine with a 30% tax rate if the government wasn’t so blatantly wasteful with it.
I maintain that’ll blow up in their faces just like the Mueller report did. Aggregated polling shows interest for impeachment has dropped below 50% after the first week of hearings and their best bet of getting him out of office is running an actual candidate who could win the swing states, which when virtually all of your candidates are either incoherent and shoot themselves in the foot weekly like Biden, or so far to the Left that the guy the party said “Oh he’s the crazy Socialist far left guy in our party” is now viewed as a moderate because he’s “Not far enough to the Left”, yeah that’s winning over the Rustbelt.
Issue is these people are campaigning like they’re in California or New York which are safely blue states. The midwest is terrified of the idea of Socialism and will fight it at every single turn.
You have to realize that these are the same people that want billionaires to front the bill for free healthcare for everyone, and dont relize after doing the math thats only sustainable for 5 years max with using all their money. Meanwhile they can no longer invest in their businesses and thus have to shut down puting millions in the unemployment line. Its almost as if the healthcare systems problems are from within and not “billionaires not paying their fair share”
People working in sweatshops in China purely for the profit of big businesses are not working voluntarily or getting paid a fair wage but nice try my guy.
Yup, just the same old typical “we screwed up so the people have to cover it” of the govt. Its sad that the ideology has shiffed from the govt is “for the people” to the people are “for the govt”
Hey wasn’t there a football player everyone loved to talk about for kneeling that Nike, one of the biggest offenders of this worker abuse chose to have a shoe campaign for that one end of the political spectrum chose to worship as a hero?
Yeah, and similarly the government that should fear its people now has those people fearing the government after they chose to imbue it with untold amounts of power.
You mean that one player that claims racism and his kneeling is why hes not employed, meanwhile theres at least 10 other players that did the same exact thing and are still playing?
Yeah, the one dude who had a SINGLE good season then became washed up and started kneeling to save his job then turned around and sued the NFL when no team wanted to sign him.
Yeah, I have a lot of underlying Libertarian ideals. Honestly just makes the most sense. Governments throughout time when they had the power to abuse their people, they did so to secure their power, and typically they were granted this power on the premise “its in your best interest to give us this power to keep you safe.”
