  • too many hs kids, even college kids, don't know it. We're doomed to repeat it.

    all these young people are in a rage over their knee jerk manipulated emotions, but they haven't lived

    life long enough to have wisdom. Take it from those older folks who EXPERIENCED life and understand

    full well the dangers we face.

    ‘Damn socialism, why are you chasing me?’ Chinese-Americans see ghost of communism in Democrats’ leftward turn

  • all the little adult kids need to learn something about the world and it's dangers before being so asswholish

    on issues.

    from the link above:

    "

    Yu immigrated to the U.S. with his mother in the late 1990s. In the immediate aftermath of Sept. 11, Yu, then a U.S. Green Card holder, felt a “surge of patriotism,” prompting him to join the Army.

    “When something happens so close to you, it doesn’t matter if you are an American by legal status,” he said. “You get a sense that that’s your country. You feel part of the community.”

    Yu saw a nascent socialism developing under President Barack Obama, whom he voted for twice before turning to Trump in 2016. He believes more and more Chinese are voting Republican, though he thinks many are reluctant to say so for fear of being ostracized.

    Zhou, Li, and Yu believe Republicans can win over Chinese-American voters by emphasizing the Democrats’ embrace of socialism, and the GOP’s staunch opposition to it.

    “I just want America to be America,” Li said, “not another Soviet Union, Cuba, or China.”

  • It is hard to only blame the young for their lack of knowledge on many of these issues when it is our educators (mostly liberal) who have failed them. 

  • this is true - and the effect of social media - antagonistic groupthink has a good bit of effect.

  • Cal u don't even know what socialism and capitalism really are. U can pro just go ahead and skip the bill informed lecture then. And since "I" actually know some history and know what went on in China under Mao I know that nothing any liberal has suggested, and that includes batty AOC, comes even remotely close. 

    It's actually you that should subject yourself to a stringent re education effort and thoroughly go through the history of the world. ☕

  • that is pretty ignorant trolling, cleve.

     I was studying WWII and socialism-->communism decades before you were existing on this planet.

    During the cuban missile a long time ago, I was going on 12.

    Chances are, you were not existing during the Pres Reagan years.

    but you "know it all"

    bs.

    I was alive in the 80's during Reagan's admin. U can claim u studied anything u want, but have to back it up with actual factual knowledge. I've corrected u on ur historical ignorance more times then I can count. U can have differing opinions, but when u CONSTANTLY introduce historical falsehoods into e very debate it gets old as fuck. 

    And these aren't obscure historical facts whiff on either, they're literally things that 20 seconds with lord Google and u got it. Ur all too lazy for even that. 

    Ur Insistence on equating Bernie with mao or stalin is of such gross historical ignorance its painful. At least once a week u use commie and nazi in the same sentence which just perfectly shows ur profound levels of historical ignorance and why I responded to this cool lecture on history in the first place.

    90% of the concepts and ideas u Express here are based on demonstrable inaccuracys and untruths.
