    Better watch what you ask for. The last time there was “serious” talk about abolishing those bastards, because they had been proven so conclusively to be a rogue, criminal operation that even with the media running cover it couldn’t be denied, THEY got a MASSIVE budget increase and we got the first outright gun ban in US history.

    Stop worrying and get in line for your brain chip. And be sure to enjoy the “salty tears” of the lefties. As long as we can do that things are hunky dory.

    I'm really enjoying this discussion. I just wanted to add something that touched me pretty deeply when I visited a Coptic church over the summer. There are already icons of the 21 martyrs of Libya from 2015. The immediacy of the thing is what really hit me. This happened less than 10 years ago. And all the icons I see of it are careful to have Matthew Ayariga from Ghana featured as prominently as they can. By some accounts he was not already a Christian and responded to the faith of the others and joined them in martyrdom. It would be far from the first report of this happening.

    Yeah we should also never forget that 4 years ago we all learned that if there's ever a major pandemic where there's multiple times normal demand for hospital beds, irrespective whether there actually is a hospital to begin with, we need the state to temporarily suspend their limit on hospital beds before we can get adequate treatment. Pretty sure those regulations are still in place unaltered, despite everyone being able to see what the result was.

    Fair enough - when I was a Lutheran I didn't like the term "protestant" either. That's what Henry was. As you said, Luther didn't want to break from Rome. I think the most important division though, and the one I focus on, is that there are three entities that believe in the Church as a physical entity - the Chalcedonian and non-Chalcedonian Orthodox, and Rome. Scripture mentions the Church a lot. If you subscribe to a tradition that interprets that as something more than an invisible entity, you have those three choices. If you subscribe to a holy tradition that doesn't believe the Church is something concrete, then you have everybody else. I never found evidence that the latter of those traditions existed prior to the 1500s. For me that clearly puts this teaching into the category that the reformed Christians are constantly trying to shove the historic churches into. I think if there was a competition to find a modern slogan for Orthodoxy it would be "Would you people please stop making me defend Rome". Our divorce was finalized a thousand years ago.

    Those drugs do a lot of good for a lot of people. But, as you say, there are side-effects. Any time you hear a commercial saying that the drug may cause "suicidal ideation" or thoughts, that's an admission. Suicidal thoughts and homicidal thoughts are not so different. Just depends on the person's situation and their own lines of thinking. I imagine that if these companies could be held liable for the side-effects of their product, they'd have to do a lot more work before allowing doctors to prescribe them, and then follow-up work to ensure all precautions are being taken. But then that would cut into profitability. (It would also cut into the pool of available candidates when the intel agencies need a job done)

    Progressivism and the Murder of a Health Insurance CEO https://mises.org/mises-wire/progressivism-and-murder-health-insurance-ceo {Connor O'Keeffe | 10 December 2024} Last week, UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot to death on a New York City sidewalk in what was clearly a thoroughly planned-out attack. Over the next few days, as authorities hunted for the killer, online progressives did not try hard to hide their delight that a millionaire health insurance executive like Thompson was killed. Social media was flooded with posts and videos—with different ranges of subtlety—suggesting that Thompson, at the very least, did not deserve to be mourned because of all the health care his company has denied to poor and working people. Progressives framed the shooting as an act of self-defense on behalf of the working class. Before the alleged killer was caught Monday, they promised not to snitch if they saw the shooter themselves and fantasized about a working-class jury nullifying all charges, leading to other CEOs getting gunned down with impunity if they oversaw price increases. The narrative that these online progressives clearly subscribe to and perpetuate is one where, in the United States, healthcare is a totally unfettered, unregulated industry; where—because of a total lack of government involvement—wealthy CEOs charge whatever prices they want and then refuse to provide customers what they already paid for without facing any bad consequences.

    It's not "controlled opposition". It's just a common and well-known manifestation of a particular form of libertarian autism sometimes referred to as "macho flashing" (which is the making of statements along the lines of "why, I am so libertarian, I believe that !"). It's nothing new or surprising, and it's at least as old as the Libertarian Party and organized activist libertarianism is.

    Remember that time in 1995 when Bill Gates had literally only just risen to prominence because ID software games only worked on IBM hardware, and then he released a brand new OS that had absolutely no facility for video game graphics and he had to shoehorn in the directX library? The man doesn't just fail to understand people. He doesn't even understand computers. I don't know anyone who believes he got where he is through honest business practices. I kinda hope he lives long enough for the old media to die so he can live the last part of his life getting completely ignored, like everyone has wanted to for the last 30 years.

    It is not "100% the fault of the government". I already addressed this in the part of my post you omitted: In principle, I would have no problem with them being punished as part of the solution, if that were ever to happen. I don't demand it - but I don't have a problem with it, either. I myself would be entirely satisfied if, by getting the government completely out of health care, they were merely prevented in the future from forcibly warping and extorting the market in their favor. But I would also have no problem with things going further than that, and holding them liable for the favors and fortunes they have willfully used government to forcibly extort from the market in the past - because, as I have said, it takes two to tango, and they are not entirely innocent or blameless for the current state of affairs.

    Since when is the "We got a badass over here" meme "gay"? It's been all over the interwebz for many moons and it's used by all sorts of folks. There are several samples in the various "bestest picture thread evarrr"-s.
  8. The reason I have no use for monarchies is it's complete pot luck what you get. If your generation gets a Victoria, you could be in worse shape (assuming her advisors aren't lying to her about what they're doing), but if you get an Ivan the Terrible you're screwed. I prefer a system that at least holds out hope for nonviolent revolution, whether people are generally smart enough to use it or not.

    And I'm pretty sure you meant neither Bismarck nor the kaiser.

    Chancellor von Bismarck
    President von Hindenburg

    You're right, I should have said the Kaiser, not Bismarck. :/ (My WWI history is rather rusty...I do remember Hitler suffered from mustard gas inhalation during that war and a bunch of other factoids) Yeah, monarchs have been somewhat fascist in certain occasions, but they always had incentive not to destroy their subjects' economy or their own respective societies as presidents and prime ministers or even legislators do. (such elected officials almost always leave office very wealthy and almost never face justice for their misdeeds) Generally speaking, the best to worst scale goes- voluntary association with government>hereditary monarchy>monarchy>classical republicanism>modern constitutionalism>democracy etc.

What has it to do with politics? Everything. Politicians piss us off, then try to misdirect our anger 'across the aisle' to people who are fundamentally exactly the same, but wear a different party label. The game is age old, but still works.

People are angry, but they are often in denial about it. They know they're angry, but they don't want to admit they're angry
