    I never will understand how such highly educated people who probably read and studied so much European and Ancient history and politics and economics just look at everything and believe that they can do the same things that were done in the past and think that they have found the answer and do it all again to benefit themselves and their wealthy overlords.

    So much knowledge and education to achieve a point in your life that you could be just as dumb as the idiots that did the same thing a thousand years ago.

      “But I’m smarter than them.”

      Alternatively,

      “They managed to get off scott-free despite ruining everything, and retire wealthy, comfortable, and respected despite it all; why shouldn’t I do the same?”

      Because liberals are ALWAYS going to side with the fascists when push comes to shove. They would rather kill all minorities than interfere with corporate interests.

        Liberals and fascists roughly share the same economic principles. The difference is who gets to participate and to what extent.

      I didn’t take much good from church when i was made to go as a kid, but i did get one saying that’s never left me; they’re educated beyond their intelligence.
