I know politics is not your interest. But you are smart enough to understand why "everything equal" is always horrific failure that leads to war and megadeath. Please read this quote and understand why you must stop teaching your friends and kids the bullshit about "the rich are evil and everything must be equal". The Ten Commandments tell us not to covet what our neighbor has (and that includes accusing every rich person of being corrupt when in fact many people get rich by hard work!). The "99% versus 1%" movement is Satan whoreship!

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that Obama’s socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.

The professor then said, “OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama’s plan”.. All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one will fail and no one will receive an A…. (substituting grades for dollars – something closer to home and more readily understood by all).

After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.

The second test average was a D! No one was happy. When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.

As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.

To their great surprise, ALL FAILED and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed. Could not be any simpler than that.

I had a conversation in a hotel with someone who was very much a believer in man created global warming. I began to notice a pattern to their thinking. When you test anything, you must see how it is connected to other reasoning. What emerged was a fundamental belief that government is good and there to take care of you until you die. This notion appears to be linked to those who just want to be taken care of, but not to the point that they are on welfare. They will pretend to be independent thinking individuals, but there is a core surrender of independence because they do not want to think no one is in charge. They voted for Hillary as well, and this all seems linked to this desire not to be responsible for the future in a subtle way. Perhaps it is linked to childhood when you did not have to work or cook. They just took care of you. It seems that those who believe in global warming are more likely to trust government. What happens when they wake up and discover nothing is as they thought it would be?

I am becoming deeply concerned that the United States is headed into its version of a communist revolution under the label “progressive” and the bankers, who Larry Summers has always supported, will be used as the scapegoat for Wall Street and the “rich” who have to be stripped of their liberty and their money for the “good of the people” as they always say. The United States does not look like it will be a country we can recognize by 2032 if we can even make it past 2024. The United States will most likely break apart by 2036. There are separatist movements rising in many areas from Vermont and Texas to California, who reasons they voted for Hillary not Trump justifying their departure.

The entire purpose of eliminating cash is to strip us of our assets, liberty, and to prevent bank runs. The youth, who have been brainwashed by Bernie Sanders and people like Elizabeth Warren, will turn against the older generation and enslave them if at all possible. This threatens our future with outright civil war. They will not be satisfied until they destroy the freedom of their opposition. It is starting to appear that 2036 is our date with destiny.

I saw NBA legend Kevin Garnett using the term "not progressive enough" on national TV in his condemnation of coaching great Phil Jackson (when Jackson referred to Lebron's "posse").

Every Household in California Owes $93,000 to Pay for State Pensions



Stanford University has been tracking the cost of pensions in California. So while there is a movement starting to separate from the United States especially since they wanted Hillary, California will soon fall on its face and then will be begging Washington for a handout. The real amount owed by every household in California to cover state pensions jumped to $93,000 in 2015 up from $77,700 per household in 2014.

California may be the most socialistic state in the union, so expect them to also be among the first to collapse despite being the fifth largest economy in the world if looked at as their own nation. Go ahead – leave; but take your pensions with you please! There are two categories of fools: (1) are those who believe what isn’t true; and (2) those who refuse to believe what is true. Socialists seem to come in both varieties.

Millions of Socialists, have murdered and killed those who disagree with them. The opponents of Marxism have been burnt, tortured, fined, and imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch towards this mythical land of perfect harmony and utopia. The net result has only been war and conflict and to prove that one half the world is composed of fools and hypocrites who just want to be taken care-of, yet willing to surrender their independence while pretending to be independent.

Ah yes I was thinking it was 500 ounces.
500 grams is much less, but I still doubt the average person owns $20,000 worth of gold.
This will still only have an effect on the very wealthy. Some might buy some Bitcoin, but I assume most are going to hide money in offshore accounts and companies outside their country.

The intended effect is that it will be impractical to use gold as form of tax avoiding cash. You can bury gold in the ground and never use it, because that it no threat at all to the government's desire to tax everything that moves. Have fun eating your gold or watching it sit there useless in the ground while the economic opportunities move on without you.

The elite are moving the tangible economy to electronic currency that is tracked for taxes.

They will use the poor as a weapon against the middle class. The poor will avidly support increased taxation because the government will promise them free things. In India, the government is recently offering a basic level of free food and medical care system support to the indigent. This is a big deal because in the past 1/3 of Indians only ate once a day.

The poor see these increased taxation as ending corruption and funding the support for the poor. They don't realize it is the laying the seeds for tax slavery.

But we in the crypto-currency currency arena can offer the poor a better deal than what the government can give them. We can offer them a job in the virtual economy where they can become independently a middle class person. And then they will hate taxes.

I am working on this now. Steem(it) was the first (failed) example. We can onboard the billions into crypto-currency by giving them currency when they do work on a social network. We can change the economy of the world.

Tinfoil hats are doing nothing. They are stuck in an unimaginative old world fight over tangible resources. Iron used to be a precious metal. Everyone needs to understand we live in an age of surplus and we are moving to a Knowledge Age:

You will probably need a week or two of studying the thread slowly.

I will be the first to admit I needed a week to fully absorb the following works of AnonyMint.

The Rise of Knowledge <--- READ THIS

If the author is right and I think he is we are all in the midst of a tragedy of epic proportions.  It is sad unstoppable and will devastate the lives of much of humanity.

This is so accurate! Many millennials say "It's DEMOCRATIC Socialism, there's a difference." Just because you put the word "democratic" before it doesn't mean it's any different. It just means you voted for the flawed system. Socialism has not and will not work anywhere.

"We are the only country in the world not to guarantee health care"
Wow, maybe millennials should stop being lazy and get an education and a career. The United States is the strongest nation because of free markets and the constitution. I do not recall, "everyone must pay for Obama phones, Obama Care, Obama vacations" in the constitution, but I am still being forced to pay into them.

Taxation is theft. You are technically a slave when 100% of the products of your labor is taxed/confiscated by force. So at what percentage are you not a slave?

this quote is great. I've been arguing this point to some friends recently and have been looking for a good example to prove socialism ends in disaster.

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that Obama’s socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.

The professor then said, “OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama’s plan”.. All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one will fail and no one will receive an A…. (substituting grades for dollars – something closer to home and more readily understood by all).

After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.

The second test average was a D! No one was happy. When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.

As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.

To their great surprise, ALL FAILED and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed. Could not be any simpler than that.

This is great. You can't force people to work like cattle. You can't force them to be happy.

But again this is hypothetical socialism. The modern form of socialism is already implemented worldwide.

The government takes larger income tax from high earners and lesser from low earners.

In my personal opinion no taxes should be over 25%.

[much blabla]. The United States is the strongest nation because of free markets and the constitution. [even more blabla]

Stop being delusional.
The only reason the USA is the strongest nation is because they put 1+ trillion $ a year in their defense budget while half of theiryour popuplation are living in shit - from eduaction to food, healthcare and social systems 

and one of the most funny things nowadays is that the US Army gets their recruits mainly from ex (black) gang members and the results in warfare are looking accordingly.

short:

USA sucks donkey balls - the land of freedom and democracy is long gone.

[saddampbuh]

people need to learn the difference between social democracy and socialism.

capitalist countries with high taxes that make it difficult for (especially small) businesses to operate are not socialist. socialism is a system where workers have ownership of what they produce instead of most of it being taken away from them by a capitalist leaving them barely enough to survive on so that government steps in and subsidises them with food stamps and the like. you don't see negress welfare queens shitting out 10 kids from different men living off the government in cuba or the dprk

the welfare parasitism you're complaining about is a trait of social democracy not socialism and its more to do with vote buying than anything else, what happens is lazy minorities figure out they can do just as well on welfare as working so they vote to bring in more of their own kind which helps keep the political parties that pander to them in power. under a socialist system they would work or not eat.

Note I am not a misogynist. Actually the reason women are not given more testosterone is because their eggs are more valuable than male sperm. We must protect the women, because if a tribe only had one woman remaining, it would be in danger of extinction, but one man could easily impregnate a plurality of woman.

I also dreamed at one point of working with female programmers and that a female would be both my career peer as well as my peer in romance. But I have since learned that there is a reason that women and men are physiologically different. Women have similar average IQ but their outliers are much more rare on the upper end of the IQ curve. Females are very smart at consensus building and nurturing. Men are very smart at economics (and technology as a function in economics).

There is no doubt that divorce is very bad news. However, it is a problem which can be minimized.

Married Couples Who Attend Church Services Together Are Less Likely to Divorce
http://www.christianpost.com/news/married-couples-who-attend-church-services-together-are-less-likely-to-divorce-study-171853/

Married couples who attend church services together are more likely to live longer, are less likely to be depressed, and less likely to get divorced, according to a new study conducted by a professor at the Harvard School of Public Health.

The study, titled "Religion and Health: A Synthesis," conducted by Tyler J. VanderWeele, professor of epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health, noted that religious service attendance is connected to "better health outcomes, including longer life, lower incidence of depression, and less suicide," the Institute for Family Studies noted on Tuesday.

According to the study, religious service attendance is also "associated with greater marital stability — or more specifically, with a lower likelihood of divorce."

Married couples who attend religious services are 30 to 50 percent less likely to get divorced than those who do not, the study asserts. Such couples are also nearly 30 percent less likely to be depressed and, over a 16-year follow-up period, were shown to have significantly lower risk of dying.

...

Though some might criticize the marital stability data by suggesting that those contemplating divorce might be more likely to stop attending religious services, the researchers took that into account.

By looking into the timing of changes in religious service attendance, VanderWeele said, "we were able to control for this possibility, and the results persisted: those who attended religious services were 47 percent less likely to subsequently divorce."

"Religion is, of course, not principally about promoting physical health or decreasing the likelihood of divorce, but about communion with God," he said, and efforts to commune with God have "profound implications for numerous other aspects of life, including health and marriage."

While Christians understand and interpret the word "religion" and everything it entails differently than academic researchers, the operative definition VanderWeele posits for the study is: "the pursuit of complete human well-being: physical, mental, social, and spiritual."

Taken together, "religion is about both communion with God and the restoration of all people to their intended state of complete wholeness and well-being. The evidence suggests that it can indeed accomplish both," he said.

...

"The religious community provides social support, a constant reinforcement and reminder of the religious teachings, family programs, and a communal worship and experience of God. I would not say that good marriages need a community to thrive, but it certainly does help!"

Also further improvements in ones odds can likely be obtained if one chooses a spouse with an understanding of what matters most in life.

As far as I know, there is no single man-created government system that can be called perfect...most of them are just downright failure. Socialism is good to think but when it is fully implemented it won't really work for long. What can be the best is to take some of its nice and working principles and introduce them to the usual capitalistic structure and work out a fusion system that can benefit many if not all.

And yes, it is true that when you take away the possible rewards for anything we do and you make things equal then everybody would just be lazy...this is actually the reason why China and many other nations abandoned the pure socialism principles.

Human nature is something no law and no system can change.

I asked my friends who have been echoing similar thoughts to the trump is a terrorist/unqualified mantra, what was the point to even having an election then? Why not just let the democratic party put who ever's turn it is into office?

Of course with the same group of people, Ive been doing my best to explain that the electoral college is a weighting system for the states. Else we would have the united country of new york. The headway so far is that they have agreed that the electoral college was created in the 1700s when there were only thirteen colonies. Im still working on getting them to admit that why would a sovereign state agree to a political union with a system that was unbalanced towards the most populated areas. Ie: they are all about the popular vote is all that matters, not the fact that trump won ~2500 counties and hillary ~ 250

You're very smart, but you're not as smart as you think you are.

And your arrogance, delusions of grandeur and inability to clearly communicate your ideas will put you at a disadvantage, if your so-called "Age of Knowledge" comes to pass.

On topic, I'm currently studying for a science degree, and I've always been a very critical thinker and a huge skeptic. I've been on the fence in regards to climate change for over 15 years, but in the last couple of years my opinion has shifted to "it's probably happening and humans are probably responsible". Mainly because I've seen the vast majority of research claiming the opposite debunked, and I've seen a lot more solid evidence claiming AGW from what I consider to be credible sources.

Because you are being indoctrinated by your school.

This may have been true in the past, but a lot of research suggests that CO2 both is an effect of warming, and causes it through feedback loops...

The Malthusian youth asshats always think it is different this time and ignore millions of years of documented historical information. And their idealism only causes the periodic bouts of megadeath (driven by their youthful inexperience and idealistic driven arrogance). Enjoy.

The rich are not evil, this is a common misconception spread by either disinfo agents or cry baby socialists. Whats wrong with being rich? I think that pursuing being rich is one way to make your life have some sort of meaning. This is proved  by your quote, when you mention the study that the professor did when the people that worked harder got the same reward for people that did not work as hard. But, I would like to point out that working hard does not mean having more money, it simply means working hard. Sure, focusing and pursuing a specific goal will most likely help you attain it faster, but its not something that is factual, because it does not happen every time, there are anomalies, every case is special.

Btw, the occupy wall street movement is BS, we should not be occupying corporations but the governments that allow bailouts to happen in the first place.
