    Ummm, clearly you don’t think you understand. Schedule C is what the above was all about. Look how socialists abused people who used that form. Denying it to republicans. Is it ok to do this?

    as for hysterics, actually calm, always am. Simply don’t care for the tactics used by the left and will address the hypocrisy and lies within it every time. Watch as the left pretends they are saints. Don’t care for it. So you can try to explain it away, justify it, or as usual by many, ignore and pretend it doesn’t or didn’t happen,

    Not my point but yeah that's how a market works. If a vocal minority (conservatives) don't buy it does not matter. Gillette's stock rose after all that. VERY hard to trend and market razors and they did an excellent job of it.

    Also if I can grow facial hair does that not imply I have testosterone? All these right wing slurs make no sense.

    Why is it that in peak Capitalism it somehow is the fault of socialism?

    Shelves are bare because people take all they can for themselves on the idea that they matter most and the free market will decide. Toilet paper can be traded for other goods. You can't depend on the government to care for you so get it all now. Capitalist to the core. I will get mine.

    If there was some sort of government oversight and not the wild west it would be better. Europe is kind of dealing with what the US but the fundamental culture is more trusting of the government. I don't know after living here for a several weeks now it's night and day vs. America. What I see on the news is nuts. I would not return to the US even if I could.

    It's clear to me that these people have nothing to counter why socialism is bad. All they can say "well this example of capitalism is actually what socialism is 100% of the time." The recent virus is showing how this American cowboy I don't like the government view is so silly. We are all on a team now because a virus does not care who you are.

    Or call anyone non-left bad names to deflect away from the real facts, in hopes getting people to look the other way and in order to continue lying and feel emboldened

    I know the feeling

    I have an uncle who married an illegal Mexican. Well her parents snuck over and I guess she was the anchor baby. He still wears a red hat. He's not allowed to see his grand kids now. My cousins have no tolerance for it.

    All you did is project exactly what you do on to people you disagree with.

    In what alternate universe are you from where Gillette profited from this? Gillette lost 8 billion (with a B) in sales due to alienating their consumer base: men.

    Gillette Loses Billions After Shaming Men in Ad Campaign

    Forcing them to backpedal and release commercials more like this:

    Gillette’s backflip after $12 billion ‘toxic masculinity’ backlash

    Moral of the story: Get woke, go broke!

    Besides, there’s no such thing as Gillette stock, they are one of several brands of Proctor and Gamble.

    The real world.

    I know it's super important for you to think whining on Facebook does anything but outside alt-right echo chambers no one cares.

    good example of ignoring, I didn’t ask you the question of, “what do you live for?” and come back with a meme which is meant to insult? you were not successful in your attempt. I guess you missed the memo.

    I did ask you if it is ok for a political party to deny republican people, organizations things like a section C form because they are not socialists?

    Deflecting and ignoring? Pretending it isn’t true?

    You are proving the point of what is wrong with socialism, I hope you understand that?

    Yes, they long for the thumbs up on the forum too, when it comes to politics. Like this somehow means something, they feel empowered, yet still do not answer simple questions. :D

    for me personally, I don’t limit my thumbs up to political opinions in line with mine. :). Sometimes it is for acknowledgement or point taken, sometimes because I laughed and other times because I agree. Or all of the above, But, when they call me names I laugh at them. No checks for causing me to laugh at you, not with. It is obvious they are struggling to justify anything.

    They manage to prove your original post.

    When there’s a shortage of toilet paper in capitalism, it’s due to panic buying.

    When there’s a shortage of toilet paper in soycialism, it’s due to government bureaucrats being too inept to provide the people with basic necessities. See Venezuela


    The real world, lol. More like denial.

    You sound upset that you’ve been called out for
    fibbing about your imaginary Gillette stocks

    Government is the only way to secure a person’s rights. Even strength of arms to achieve them is only used as a means to create a government to secure them.

    Why not tell us in your own words?

    The simplicity and superficiality of your source material says a lot.
    Especially considering he invokes Jefferson... Who supported a revolution
    In order to form a government
    To secure rights.

    I will assume here that you don’t know how to answer the question in line with your political views and need to check with someone else on your reason for living.

    most on the left and right will say, to survive, It is about family, those you love. It comes down to basics. We see it with the covid19. Are people running out to help people they don’t know? No, most are locking themselves in and making sure they, and those they love survive, It is about you. You live for you. I was hoping for common ground here, but it seems you are completely unwilling to. That is a problem. I don’t ask my neighbours what political party they are in. They may or may not know what I am voting, it doesn’t matter. They know if they need something they can ask, or I see them doing something, struggling, I offer them a tool to make it easier.

    As okiefreak pointed out, The Tenth Amendment Center is a right wing source, i.e non value added.
