Who's the bigger offender: Conservatives or Liberals?

Since you are so concerned about cultural Marxism, maybe you can explain what it is. I have tried a google lookup. But, as best I can tell, there's no such thing.Given that Marx was opposed to capitalism, and thought things should be for the people at large, one might guess that cultural Marxism is just saying that culture should come from the people. But culture has always come from the people. Even the suggestion of a marketplace of ideas, such as we often hear from conservatives, effectively puts culture in the hands of the people.So what is this cultural Marxism that troubles you? Or is it just a meaningless buzzword?

And yet you belong to the evangelical Christian collective and you regularly vote for the Republican collective.

If you have a point, then it is not clear what that point is.There are already differences between culture in the south, culture in the northeast, culture in California. Nobody is forcing a common culture. Okay, so you have told us something that cultural Marxism isn't. But you still have not said what it is. You just respond in an evasive manner.It is pretty obvious that you don't know what cultural Marxism is (or that it isn't actually anything at all). What's not true? That you regret voting for Biden only confirms that you regularly vote Republican.In any case, my point was that you criticize collectivism, but you obviously do not understand what it is.According to the subtitle, you are worried about government control. Yet you are fully under control of the right wing propaganda network. They tell you to fear "cultural Marxism", so you fear it without even bothering to find out what it is. They tell you to fear collectivism, so you fear it without understanding what it is. You are a captive of the propagandists, because you don't think for yourself. If they tell you to jump, you jump. If they tell you to be afraid, you are afraid.Even if government tried to control you, they could not do it nearly as effectively as the right wing propaganda controls you.

No, you do not lean conservative. Your leaning is toward radical right wing extremism, which is very different from conservatism.

Yes, we can see that (we can see the fear).The right wing propagandists stir up your fears, and that is how they control you. They get you to act on fear instead of acting on reason. Yes, we see that too. But recent history shows that the Republicans crash the economy and the Democrats step in to rescue it. Yet your fears cause you to vote for the Republicans. The Republicans want to take your money and give it to the very rich. They want to kill social security, so that more can go to the very rich. They want to kill medicare so that more can go to the very rich.Yet your fear causes you to vote for Republicans.If the Democrats ever do any wealth redistribution, it is likely that they will take something from the very rich and give it to people like you.You are driven by fear to vote against your own best interests.We are only trying to persuade you to look at evidence and think for yourself, instead of allowing the right wing propagandists to control you with their fear mongering.

Oh Phat, you are so foolish.I did not watch that video. I did read the bullet points that you quoted, and they did not impress me. As jar keeps telling you, what matter is content rather than the source. I'm retired. I am against inflation, because my pension won't keep up.As far as I know, there are several retired people who post here, and probably have a similar view of inflation. But, unlike you, we are not in panic about it. This is bullshit. Progressives do not want inflation.From one of your bulletpoints: This is also bullshit.Firstly, most progressives are not socialists. Secondly, many progressives see free market capitalism as theft, and they do see that theft as wrong.From your subsequent response to ringo
You still don't get it. Trump and the Republicans were the spend-happy government.Yes, Trump gave you a tiny tax cut. He threw you a bone, hoping that you wouldn't notice that you will be paying higher taxes for the rest of your life because of Trump's tax give away to the wealthy.

I forgot to comment on that, so I'll add that as another reply.I think Rittenhouse acted foolishly. I do not know whether he is racist. I have no opinion on whether the trial was racist, but perhaps the jury selection might be where to look for that.If you want my detailed opinion on the trial, then check my blog post on that topic. In short, I respect the jury verdict.

I am not a gun owner, but I respect the jury verdict. I completely agree with this (apart from not being a gun owner).

I'm at the point where getting old seems a good thing. I won't have to live through the impending disasters.

It's time you got over your aversion to fiat currency. The gold standard was itself abitrary and capricious.

I'm replying to this, because one "like" is not nearly enough.

If you have a point here, it is not clear what that point is.The entire Playboy interview can be found HERE. It's a pdf file, and the comment about Angela Davis is on page 7.The views that Wayne expressed there (about politics) were probably similar to the views of many conservatives at that time. Ronald Reagan likely had similar views, though he would have expressed them with more subtlety.

As a Christian, shouldn't you be naturally humble? You have not shown that you can lay it down. This is what I have trouble understanding.Yes, indigent Americans were badly mistreated. So were indigent Australians (that's where I grew up). And so were the slaves brought to America.I have never felt inferior or guilty or personally responsible about this. Yet I recognize that American society has a debt to repay to those who were harmed. And I have no problem with the idea that some of the taxes that I pay are used for this compensation.You claim you are made to feel guilty, yet you are unwilling to do anything to correct the injustice. Why is that?

I suggest you follow that advice yourself.

Yes, I think that's right. I hope it means he is getting his diabetes under better control.
