    Generally speaking, the idea isn’t to yell at the shitlibs unless they’re saying shitlib things. When they’re being polite enough you just hit them with history.

        Mhmm. Because the British Empire didn’t repeatedly use artificial famines as a weapon, and the American-caused Great Depression and breadlines aren’t synonymous.

        Because no one starves, or is homeless, right now, in America. Because Republicans aren’t so caught up in Supply Side Jesus they literally want children to go hungry if their parents can’t afford a school lunch.

        I’ll give you this, though. Blind ideological thinking is dangerous.

        Ignoring reality, history, and science, the way you have to to pretend capitalism is a good thing, or to create Lysenkoism, just never works out.

        You either starve a million people or burn the world to death.
