Oooh, it’s so dynamic to have a bunch of thugs break into your house and go “surrender your company to us or we kill your family”!  
Free market resulting in anything but a monopoly is delusional, more specifically, a delusion of people magically not taking actions they’re absolutely free to take (no regulation = nothing preventing them from doing it) to knock off the competition.  
P.S. Market is defined by the people and companies who patricipate in it. They are not interested in “quick changing” one that can remove their power and control. And if you only allow people who are interested in that in? SURPRISE YOU HAVE JUST INTRODUCED A REGULATION YOUR MARKET IS NO LONGER LAISSEZ-FAIRE!

They’re founded on exact same error: thinking that people will magically stop bribing, racketeering, murdering, coercing and plain ol’ EEEing when there’s nothing preventing them from doing so.
 
 
P.P.S. I have realized that both of these are caused by same cancerous thing: rejection of personal responsibility, metastasizing into assumption that NOBODY ELSE has any personal responsibility either and every action is caused by someone or something else, not the person’s own volition. “Remove regulation and people will magically stop doing what regulation is made to prevent”. “Remove personal property and people will magically stop trying to take what others own”. “Remove laws and people will magically stop doing crimes that the laws are describing”.
 
Suffice to say, that is not how the reality works. Personal volition, and consequently personal responsibility, exists. A monopolist establishes a monopoly because he wants to establish a monopoly (and have sole control over something). A company owner robs workers because he wants to rob workers (and get all that money and power it represents for himself). A burner, looter, murderer burns, loots and murders because he wants to burn, loot and murder. Their actions are caused by their own choice, not by any external pressure: external pressure prevents those actions instead.

Yep, I just said that 5 days ago. How time flies.

Both socialism and capitalism are bullshit utopian fantasies that don’t work in the real world, and the believers for whom these economic systems are surrogate religions always employ the no true Scotsman fallacy every time an economy collapses. And all economies eventually collapse. No exceptions.
Whenever an economy is going good “That’s true (socialism/capitalism),” but whenever that economy collapses the excuse is always “That wasn’t TRUE (socialism/capitalism).” AND often the believers will accuse the failed economy of being the opposite system. The capitalist will say “That economy failed because it was really socialism masquerading as capitalism!” and the socialist will say “That economy failed because it was really capitalism masquerading as socialism!” And the solution is always “We need more (socialism/capitalism).”
The United States economy is failing because it’s capitalist (according to the socialist) or because it’s socialist (according to the capitalist). This places the US economy into a state of superposition. It’s Schrodinger’s economy that’s somehow both exclusively capitalist and exclusively socialist at the same time.
At the same time the socialists will claim the economy of Norway as socialist and the capitalists will claim it is capitalist.
Neither of these systems can exist in the real world. They are utopian fantasies that exist only on paper.
I don’t care what works on paper, I only care about what works in the real world.
It’s time to abandon the false dichotomy of socialism/capitalism and develop a new economic system that is based on reality instead of theory.

Maybe I’m just a progressive weirdo,but I really don’t see the issue if someone says they identify as another gender.  
I don’t care and I don’t get why it’s an issue at all.

I think it becomes an issue when they start demanding to be legally treated as another gender when they’re not, such as when men are now beating the crap out of women in women sports.

Because it reliably identifies the person as not only deeply mentally unwell, but perfectly alright with that, even proud of it, and demanding special treatment.  
It’s also really fucking cringe, like going around telling everyone at which times you take a shit or jerk off.

To note, HRT is doping. It’s literally steroids. Nobody who is using any of that, or has a condition that requires using it (read: trannyism) should be allowed in the regular Olympics.

Women sports are the shit consolation prize everyone gets a trophy for losers. If they were any good they would compete with men. This is balancing the world that was unbalanced by feminism. Women kicked men out of men only spaces and now men have found a way to force themselves into women only spaces. That’s equality. Women never wanted equality, they wanted equal pay for crappier work with fewer responsibilities. Women always complain that there are too many men CEOs but they never complain that 99% of coal miners are men. In their bullshit narcissism they’ve even turned the fact that 4 out of 5 suicides is men into “Oh noes! 1 out of 5 wamen an hero themselves! Men have to suffer to give wamen more shit!” Men have suffered for too long under feminazism and have found a way to change reality to fix that problem and I think it’s great. I want to see the Hulk with a beard go into a UFC ring and give a strong independent wamen a concussion and win all the gold medals.

So you don’t see ANY issue at all with the idea that at any time, these so called “progressives” can deem something like gender to be a metaphysical concept? A state of mind that one can change on a whim despite what’s embedded in your genetic coding, and despite the hundreds of years of recorded observations of animals assuming natural roles in their habitats based on their gender alone? Further more, you’re alright with the idea of filling the minds of children and teens with this pseudo-science crap to the point where they have an existential crisis that drives them to self-harm and suicide? Can you imagine wasting the best years of your youth obsessing over the idea that gender is the only thing that defines you and that if you can’t be the gender you THINK you are, you’ll just sulk around in depression until you’re brazen enough to take your own life? Ideas like this are dangerous because they breed a whole generation of people who end up mentally scarred from wasting their life over something that was never an issue in the first place: the gender they were born as. And ALL to ensure that we don’t hurt the feelings of the less than 1% of humans in the world who honestly believe they’re a different gender simply because they said so. It may seem like harmless fun to you, but that’s because you’re clouded by hedonism. You see just another perverted fetish to satisfy your sexual depravity. People like me see a dangerous concept that will further lead us down to another age of ignorance over logic and actual scientific evidence.

This is New York, isn’t it? Uncompleted construction projects left to languish for decades, multi-billion dollar hideously ugly sky scrapers with no tenants because rent is too high built next to streets full of homeless people.

Boomercons: Kids these days (anyone under 40) want money from the government! They’re evil socialists! REEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
 
Also Boomercons: I want more Medicare! And more Social Security! And old people tax credits! The government owes me free money, I’m entitled!
 
 
No fooling, those Boomercon TV shows (because no one under 55 owns a TV) that have an average audience age of 80+ years have commercials for medicare, social security, and life insurance that automatically cancels itself if you live to age 100.

I can’t say I’m surprised the Olympics are getting lefty politics pushing ads like every other sport airing, but it still makes me not give a shit about team USA.
