We are literally living Atlas Shrugged

It’s chilling how much reality now matches Atlas Shrugged…

But, not surprising. Ayn Rand grew up in the communist U.S.S.R. She knew what tyranny, oppression, and corruption looked like. She could see the Democrats following the exact same path of Joseph Stalin, Vladimir Lenin, etc.

Complete with train wreck.

You are correct. But also missing some important points.

One of the main theme's of Atlas was a strike. A sort of reverse strike by the people with working minds which ultimately caused civilization to collapse.

Well that is not happening. But something else is. There is no organization or union and it is not people with brilliant minds. But there is a growing strike. Many people suspect that this strike is what is ultimately causing the bad economy we are all living through.

It started with a large and growing number of men refusing to get married or live with a woman or have kids. Some say it is incels others MGTOW others say they are one and the same ( not really ). But this refusal to have traditional relationships slows down the economy. This is because men make, earn and have most of the money but women spend most of it.This is what happens with marriage. The wife takes the man's money and pumps it back into the consumer economy, especially when they have kids.

When men refuse to have wives or kids their money does not get spent.

Then came COVID, lockdowns, destroyed businesses lay offs and endless amounts of relief from state local and federal government. As a result many more men have decided to live cheap and frugal on government handouts and to not bother with a full time job.


Throw in viscious attacks on men such as the lie of tosic masculinity and endless male bashing and men are simply quitting. Why bother taking part? Just let the world burn.

Not exactly the strike Rand envisioned but it is having a similar effect.
 
Some nations in Western Europe have more crime than we do. We're about even with Sweden--where everyone is armed too.
Gee, quote someone other than a right wing site...
Thats the point...you say we're soft on crime but somehow we have more people in jail than any other advanced nation.
Your argument doesn't stand up to statistical analysis.
1. The US has very high crime rates and therefore a high prison population.
2. The Post is not a RW site, duh. Google it and pick a site you prefer. Its a fact that Soros funds lax prosecutors.
3. One more time....SOME prosecutors are soft on crime which lets repeat offenders on the streets. Criminals belong in prison.
4. What statistical analysis? My argument beats your bullshit all day long.

Earlier you were stating that we don't prosecute people.

Apparently not many since...you know...you just said we have a high prison population.
3. One more time....SOME prosecutors are soft on crime which lets repeat offenders on the streets. Criminals belong in prison.
I couldn't agree more.
4. What statistical analysis? My argument beats your bullshit all day long.
Your dual argument that we don't prosecute anyone AND that we have a high prison population based on our population only are conflicting with one another and is, in fact, bullshit.

1. We need to put more criminals behind bars to get safe streets
2. There may be 10 or so big city prosecutors that Soros funded ($13m) that need to be replaced. Big cities have become gang war zones.
3. Too many big city prosecutors don't prosecute, leaving criminals on the streets, and need to be replaced. Not conflicting. Proven FACT.
4. (I should have said "some Soros backed" prosecutors) to be more correct.

You make a good point. The lazy liberals are doing something they are calling “quiet quitting”. It’s where they do absolutely nothing at work, but they don’t quit so they can still collect a paycheck.

Nobody reads Ayn Rand after highschool. She was a screenwriter. Shallow stuff.
 
Prisons were invented by the Marxists/Democrats because they saw a way to provide jobs for minorities while putting minorities in those prisons. Farmers, security guards, clothing manufacturers, builders, all get a piece of the government tit, and the Marxists/Democrats who called black men "Super Predators" smiled. Then in 2008 after Andrew Cuomo fucked up the economy and the 1/2 brown turd Obammy got into office, they Marxists/Democrats had to change their tunes. Rules for Radicals , the ends justify the means.

Most investors in for profit prisons are Christian conservatives like Hobby Lobby and Chic Filet.

It’s a shame the left doesn’t make it through high school most of the time.

Well that is perfect for liberals! Liberals are low-IQ, intellectually lazy, and easily confused, so “shallow stuff” is exactly what they need.

lol

no
 
Look at the urban plantations. Look at the criminal enablers, the defunded police, the prosecutors that don't prosecute, the rampant crime, the socialism.
Exactly.
Simpletons like candy are unable to grasp the meaning of anything, only if it appears left or right.
Forced equity is the foundation of socialism. It is also the building blocks. Forced equity IS socialism.
And that is why all of the people you mention are doing it.
They refuse to prosecute black criminals - to force criminal equity.
They are perfectly willing, in fact prefer to hire inferior candidates for positions to force equity in employment.
You don't have to be a genius to see the awaiting disaster of these policies.

We are literally living Atlas Shrugged. The the left-wing ideology is a cancer that destroys everything it touches. And it has caused us to arrive at the horrors of Any Rand’s novel.
 
Some people post because they have something to say. Other people (such as yourself) post because they just have to say something.

You added no value to this thread whatsoever. “LOL no” is the response of a 2nd grader. If you can’t do better than that, then why bother to post at all? Don’t waste the time or space for your useless drivel.
