    Another question to ask is that if zero-point energy was so practical how come the Chinese haven't done it?

    They NEED that power to lessen a lot of their domestic and manufacturing needs and to help clean up their polluted air.

    And everybody breathes the same polluted air worldwide.

    LOL – this is truly hilarious – first you say that “left and right are terms used to divide and conquer” and then you try to divide and conquer by claiming Right is all about freedom and light and the Left is just evil.

    Yes, both left and right are oppressive.

    The left is oppressive because it wants everyone to be equal and to help the poor and provide everyone with a decent standard of living, with universal health care, education, equal opportunity and regulated public property with limits on how rich the rich can get. They want to build a society with zero emission flying cars that never get into accidents and actually help the planet because they run on positive thinking (forcing everyone to think happy thoughts to make them go). Also, their only byproduct is beautiful rainbows, which in turn make it easier for everyone to be happy. The left only wants everyone to know the complete truth about absolutely everything so that everyone can become inherently good, mankind achieves immortality, lives in perfect harmony with the animals and the plants, and nothing bad ever happens because everyone is happy and fulfilled and in love with life.

    The right is oppressive because it wants to live in a neo-feudal slave state where everyone gets rich by killing each other with their guns, the church tells everyone how to behave, the environment is completely destroyed due to zero regulations, there is a nuclear apocalypse, everyone has cancer, everyone is stupid from eating unregulated food and being exposed to pollutants from unregulated factories. They want education, health care, housing and food to be too expensive for anyone to afford. If they had their way, people would get sick all the time from deteriorating infrastructure and couldn't even afford to buy some tylenol to relieve their smog-induced headaches, and they would have to cut off their facial tumors with bits of broken glass. Dogs and cats couldn't be friends, and everyone would have a microchip in their brain that controls them. Children would be taken from their parents and raised by robots and iPads, and everyone would still think they're free and murder anyone who tries to tell them otherwise. The right wants everyone to be sad and lonely and broken and dying, wondering what happened to the world and trying not to be eaten by the cannibals who roam the streets because there is nothing else to eat, and even the police in the global trillionaire-controlled police state couldn't stop them because the poor people would have nothing left to lose.

    That's my totally objective assessment of the facts. I don't align myself with either side because they're both oppressive. I am a totally fair and neutral person who sees the truth in these things. Listen to me, because you're a stupid slave and I'm a smart enlightened being.
