MGS2 allegedly does but the person that does the redpilling is an AI that is corrupted by a computer virus, so keep that in mind

I'll take them over commie/social governments having control over everything, but you're fooling yourself if you don't think allowing them the control they have isn't leading towards the same fate, with harmful side-effects in products, practice and punishment along the way.

Well the AI's ability to simulate reality was eroded, but its ability to cognate was still largely intact, except for maybe its ability to make macro-scale truths palpable to humans.

>but its ability to cognate was still largely intact
I really would not call this cognate:

Because they control the government and make it toothless. Doesn't it ever occur to you that a government this big should be able to get SOMETHING done, even if it's something bad? Like Truman said, when you have an efficient government, you have a dictatorship.
The government we have is the worst of both worlds, it's too big AND it can't get anything done.
>>20273
Social governments are just governments where that tax money is given back to the actual people instead of corporate welfare and military spending to expand our globalization efforts.
>>20276
When they get out of paying taxes when they have far more of an ability to pay, the system expects me to foot the bill in their place.
So yeah I fucking blame them.

Are you implying that there are -not- thousands of federal regulations added each year? They are very good at doing bad.

Doesn't seem to be very effective when every socialist economy has (or is in the process of) resulted in overall poverty.

It doesn't help that the vast majority of countries that tried socialist economies were poor to begin with. Distributing 50 million bucks 3 million ways still comes down to jack shit for the average person.
>>20286
Ridiculous military spending and corporate welfare have sure done so much for us that it would cause us to collapse in poverty if it were to go away.

That was the point of Truman's quote though. The inbuilt process of legislative deliberation through inaction was part of the checks and balances, it was a pillar of the constitution. But the constitution was written in 1787, 230 years ago. We've had revolution after revolution since then, a lot of the material is antiquated in relation to the order of things now. There are still precedents set in the constitution that should not be amended but the system as a whole needs a serious restructuring including certain facets of the constitution, but that will all take an act of god to happen. Basically everything is so consolidated and infallible that we're just along for the ride at this point and there is no changing it without masses of dead littering the streets all around the nation in a civil war the scope of which humanity has never seen.

For this metaphor to work, corporations have to be entities capable of ethics or morality and not a mechanism designed solely to maximize profit.
>>20307
corporations are people ;)
>>20308
Well they technically used to be, yeah.
>>20306
Germany, France, all of Scandinavia.
Most of Eastern Europe is authoritarian and/or ruled by a corrupt oligarchy. Stop making definitive statements about things you know nothing about.
>>20301
I have to ask, what is your solution? That we go full anarcho-capitalist and just have no taxation and public systems at all? I'd rather not have to pay a toll every time I get onto a new road because the roads are privately and the owners charge you for using it. No real army in the event of a war, we'd have to go back to mercenary armies. And private cops? Man you think they're gonna be looking out for you if they're not on your bankroll.

Authoritarian is neither capitalist nor communist, it can exist comfortably in both since those are economic systems, not social ones. The opposite of Authoritarianism is Libertarianism.

France and Germany are half-and-half, leaning more towards Capitalism but have a larger welfare system and taxation than the US. Meanwhile we all know what terrible nightmarish shit Sweden is succumbing to.
Full-socialism results in stagnation and is why most of the first-world avoids it, megacorporate-fuckery aside.
>>20327
>Meanwhile we all know what terrible nightmarish shit Sweden is succumbing to.
Yeah but would they be succombing to it if they didn't let in all the muslims? Like Milton Friedman said, you can't have open borders AND a welfare state. It's one or the other.

No of course not, experience tells us you have to make sure your side is thoroughly conditioned against the idea and THEN kill everyone that holds it with bullets. Just bullets aren't enough.
>>20319
We were talking about socialism, which pretty much every state in Europe practices in some form, and which has very little to do with communism as americans tend to assume. Making sure your working class is able to defend their rights and make a proper living strenghtens democracy, not the other way around. Good job completely avoiding my arguments though.
>>20327
Capitalism and socialism aren't anti-thetical, they can and do exist side by side in most of Europe. I repeat, socialism is not what cold war propaganda imprinted on you, it is not communism, it is not state controlled economy.
Sweden deserve what they are getting for doing the opposite of what the US is doing. They deny educated hard working people and send them away and take in all the human trash that wants to live on welfare instead.
>>20328
Low birth-rates were allegedly a bigger cause towards Sweden's decline than allowing muslims-stampedes in, which (to the gov't) were partly-justified in hopes of raising job numbers more than overall splitting.

I mean you're not wrong, but the ones going to europe seem to have no desire to integrate into the host culture. Say what you want about the mexicans moving here, but their kids born here act like lazy dumb Americans like everyone else, so at least it's not some massive cultural shift.
