@monarchist @freepatriot how predispoed you are to adopt certain values.

@monarchist @freepatriot Could you elaborate? I think that it is definitely not implausible to argue that, say genetics makes you more empathetic, that in turn, makes you more susceptible to caring for other people and do judge that caring is important, and that in turn, makes it more likely that you will be caught by the shallow and emotional arguments of the socialist.

So from that point of view, I think it makes sense to argue that there is a degree of influence of genetics on values, or

@h4890 @freepatriot

My take is bleak: socialism appeals to abused people and lower-IQ DKE types.

It will always be with us, like overeating, alcoholism, homelessness (insanity), gambling, wife beating, etc.

For there to be good choices, there must be bad choices... and we distinguish ourselves by rising above those.

@monarchist @freepatriot I have no opinion here, I have read from 50/50 to 80/20, but your point stands. Without a nature, nurture or culture cannot happen. This is the truth!

One thing worse than living in a police state is finding out that no one cares.

That's 8 years ago

Worse than not caring is that far too many openly support it, whether they realize it or not.
