/tv/ BTFO
Instead of some math and science majors who found themselves trying to make good tv the new writers are old kids trying to put a message into a show that was always known for its satire. Strange to think everyone who works for the show doesn't seem to understand what once made it Goat.

Wow..
That's it, I'm officially a #ShillForHill

Huh.... Guess I #Yearn4Bern now.......
>share
Doesn't sharing imply voluntary action?
>>70737666
That has nothing to do with being a liberal.
>>70738093
yeah, as in, you choose to live in this country, or you choose to vote people in who don't enact laws that require you to share, which tanks the economy because rich people hoard their wealth and poor people starve
Doesn't she mean socialist?
>>70737666
well satan you see, media has been pushing that intelligent = liberal for some time
liberalism =/= neoliberalism
wow... really makes you think
Quick reminder that it's not charity or caring for the needy if you're forced to do it under penalty of law.
Liberals don't seem to realize that mandating "virtues" is not a good thing.
"Liberals" are authoritarian sociopaths.
Fuck every last one of those hypocritical bastards.
>>70738146
You have a hilariously simplistic view of economics.
>>70738174
neoliberalism isn't a real thing, it's just another meaningless leftist buzzword
>>70738171
w/o mentioning that their voter base consists of the lowest IQ voting bloc in America bc that would be racist
>>70737666
¿Qué quizo decir con esto?
>>70738146
Actually you dumb child,
If someone is "hoarding money" ie. SAVING it.
It only makes prices for everything else in the economy go down. Resources and consumer goods are not being consumed.
Meaning it HELPS the poor.
Learn basic supply and demand before you post you gigantic leftist retard.
>>70738160
You don't even know what socialism means.
>>70737666
She was always an annoying liberal and that was the joke a lot of the time. A lot of Americans have turned into annoying liberals. They have become the joke.
>>70737666
>but what a liberal is, is an entitled cunt who sees anything white men created from their own labor and toil and screams GIB DATS TO ME
What did she mean by this
>>70738146
Hahaha get fucked Bernfag.
>>70738345
The socialist utopia of Venezuela
:^)
>>70738452
She means that they will vote to increase income tax.
>what liberal really means is somone who believes that those who have more than enough should share a little with those who don't.
But that's not what liberal means at all.
Liberal means that we need more workers to suppress wage growth.
>>70738324
>expecting liberals to understand theories of exchange.
Besides rich people don't save money in cash form. They invest almost all of it. First because they still have enough cash anyway to meet day to day demand or even emergencies. Second because they have a better grasp of monetary policy and know that banking sheniggans and governments are making cash saving suicidal in terms of return thanks to helicopter money and other QE bullshit.
Actually, saving ("hoarding") money is a plebeian thing. Which is perfectly understandable from their conditions but they are retarded enough to promote politicians that make it turn savings into losses. They don't even realize it fucks poor people (that don't have either the critical mass and knowledge to invest it all) infinitely more than really rich people (who only save a negligible amount of their fortune in cash savings).
Human decency is the norm. Get over it.
>>70738093
Yes.
But Liberals aren't big on things being "voluntary".
They are into coercion.
>>70738146
>which tanks the economy because rich people hoard their wealth and poor people starve
ITT how dumb millennials honestly think money works.
>>70738146
>rich people hoard their wealth
>hoard
Is that your retarded word for "not spending your money on drugs, video games and spinning rims"?
>>70738829
Serving the interests of corporations is the norm and they say we need large scale immigration with no complaints from the citizenry.
>>70738912
It really is insane that the left across the western world have deluded themselves into thinking that Big Business and Bankers hate mass immigration
>What liberal really means is someone who believes that those who have more than enough should share a little with those who don't.
Not it doesn't.
Because everybody, including most non-Liberals believe that.
What Liberals believe s that those who have more than enough (which they earned, by the way), should have what they own taken away at gunpoint, and then given to whatever parties the bloated, inefficient government sees fit.
That government is also controlled by Liberals in their vision, so they're the ones deciding where that money goes.
>>70737666
That's not what liberal means at all though. She's just describing the American Left.
>>70738829
>Human decency is the norm.
Human decency is something your average Liberal has very little of.
It's why they show up at anti-abortion groups and "protest" by tearing their own clothes off and screaming like Downs Syndrome patients, and it's why they show up at Trump rallies and pepper-spray children.
>>70738966
They arnt the left. They are the middeclass who stand to gain financially from it (the majority) and the useful idiots in the streets who will believe anything they are told.
The useful idiots are being rewarded in being told how wonderful they are.
>>70738345
here come the anarcho-communists
>>70737666
She's always been an annoying liberal, it's just that mainstream annoying liberal views were a lot more conservative 20+ years ago than they are today
>>70738188
>Liberals don't seem to realize that mandating "virtues" is not a good thing.
This.
The worst part is when they try to take things like Christian doctrine and twist it to meet their agenda.
"lol isn't giving to the poor the christian thing to do????? :^)"
The Bible says to give as you see fit.
It doesn't say pull out a gun and point it at someone else until they've given the quota of their money that you deem appropriate.
Also, they should be REALLY fucking careful before implying that Christian doctrine SHOULD be mandated into law.
Want to make it compulsory to give to the poor because that's what the Bible says to do? Fine.
But let's not stop it there. Let's also mandate some laws regarding homosexuals based on biblical scripture.
That ought to be fun.
>>70739112

Why didn't that shit get national attention?
>>70739429
an overwhelming majority of political reporters and journalists are liberals
the only significant exception, fox news, is a dumpster fire
>>70739478
Why is that?
Why don't new news channels pop up?
Why do these few companies have an oligarchy?
>>70739429
Doesn't fit the liberal medias narrative that Trump supporters are the violent ones and the liberals are peaceful.
>>70739429
The vast majority of news-sources are Liberal as shit.
That story would conflict with the Liberal narrative that it's Trump supporters that are violent bullies, not the super tolerant, loving, progressive people that show up at his rallies and throw bricks at people.
The same reason that none of these cases were ever reported by mainstream media sources, but Trayvon Martin literally took up 18 months of everyone's lives.
>>70739429
>Why didn't that shit get national attention?
Because it would reflect very poorly on Liberals and minorities.

they attend liberal arts schools. liberal arts schools lean left, and that bias reflects itself in their students.
>Why don't new news channels pop up?
news *channels* don't pop up because television is a rotting corpse. lots of new internet news sources are popping up but the industry is in crisis and trending towards fragmentation so it's unlikely any will get exceptionally large. brietbart and drudge are examples.

Those with the highest IQ don't even vote. They know that all official "governments" are naught but proxies, set in place to carry out the will of a higher, global organization. They understand that politics are a childish show put on to entertain the mass of pretentious pseudo-intellectuals and normalfags, making them feel as though they have a "role" in their "government". You're all pawns of the Patriots.
>>70738978

Fucking flip a coin to choose a side, they're both shit. We're fighting a losing battle with this shit. We need to either fix the whole party system, or we find one that works. Or we are fucked. We are gonna run our shit into the ground, and no one is willing to admit it because they are busy fighting the other side. We are losing either way with this shit, and no one fucking cares. That's my biggest fear. That's what keeps me up at night, knowing that we aren't trying to fix this; that we're just pretending this problem doesn't exist. We are fucked, and I think we're going to be alive when the shit finally comes to a head, and we're gonna have to fix it. Wake up sheeple, we're fucking ourselves

This.
Capitalism has problems and things that must be compensated for like any system, but it is unique in that it's actually designed to be perpetually sustainable, unlike other systems that rely on rich people just being willing to fork over half of what they earn.

That's fine and dandy I suppose. However, this isn't an "X or Y" situation. I don't have to pick between a dumpster fire and getting my dick put through a meat grinder.

I mean, it's really not that hard. No modern economist would advocate for a system that actively causes market deflation, unless it was to address hyperinflation. The best solutions are to keep taxes high on the wealthy, keep bank interest rates low, and keep capital gains taxes low, in order to generate investment. The money taxed from the rich should be put in the hands of the poor, who tend to spend their money ASAP, in the forms of infrastructure spending and food stamps. Occasionally, you raise interest rates in order to combat inflation, by selling bonds.
I shit you not, it feels like both liberals and conservatives have no understanding of monetary policy, and it's disgusting. Libertarians are even worse, with their fucking "Return to the gold standard!" and "Audit the Fed" nonsense. You're all a bunch of illiterate populists that don't understand how the country really works. You scream and cry like babies about how you wish it worked, but when faced with reality you either bring up old debunked economic models (Keynesian, Austrian School, Chicago School), or you run away with your own dick in your ass. Hell, maybe you'll just start spouting some shit that doesn't make any sense and pretend it makes you sound smart. There's very few people who can tell you why you're wrong, and nobody will think you're losing the argument. I mean, Ron Paul made a career of not knowing what the fuck he was talking about.

Yeah because standard oil had so much competition, those small firms really succeeded in breaking it up, thanks free market :^)
>>70737666
Wait, that's more like a socialist than a liberal.
>>70744944
Well, clearly you don't know shit about economy either. While it's true that no modern economist would advocate for a system that actively causes market deflation, unless it was to address hyperinflation, keeping taxes high on the wealthy, bank interest rates low, and capital gains taxes low, in order to generate investment, isn't the answer. The money taxed from the rich put in the hands of the poor might be spent ASAP, in the forms of infrastructure spending and food stamps. And occasionally you can raise interest rates in order to combat inflation by selling bonds. But would that restore Charlemagne's kingdom? No. Feudalism is the answer.
>>70745127
>standard oil
lmao
first off they had government privileges which solidified their role as majority market share
secondly a year before they were broken up they only had 60% market share
also they managed to dramatically reduce the price of oil and increased living standards for the poor and middle class
stop reading your public school propaganda
>>70745127
>those small firms really succeeded in breaking it up
except they actually did you gigantic brainwashed idiot

Actually centralization is something quite inherent to the media, though of course it's due to capitalist mechanics. Media companies always gain by moving their message to the centre. Problem is that, as a societal trend, the center has been steadily shifting to the left.
>>70746557
i'd say that science and math majors make better writers than 99% of "liberal arts / literature / periodism" (or wathever is called in Murrica, I'm european).
You have Asimov, Heinlein, Rusell winning the Nobel Prize in Literature...
>>70737888
No, she's not, that's not what liberal means. That's what socialism is.

>>70744944
It's not taxes on the rich but an increase of wages what makes capitalism work.
You can't take it from the rich and give it to the poor for free, that destroys the incentive to work and makes rich people to start wondering if they could do anything to stop the government, leading to oligarchies.
How do you increase wages without raising taxes? My two cents is making it easier to people to find self-employment by lowering taxes on small businesses. This way, big companies must compete for workers who already have an option of starting a business, so either the big company offers a high wage or the worker is going to go as a freelancer.
These godless commies talk about helping people, but in reality they are just hateful tyrants

then turkish immigrants came here barely speaking german , meaning they dont get a good education, and get stuck in a poverty loop. something that wouldnt have happened in their own country.
