The irrational fears of Americans of "Socialism"

Well I'm kind of enjoying it. It's not terribly often you get to see Clyde trolling Dicky with who can come up with the most arbitrary, short-shot, knee-jerk morsels of self-proclaimed cleverness.

If they keep this up, it'll come down to single word responses. Then single letters. Then, the unthinkable...

"Gentlemen, I give you... Diaclydu."

And the avatar would be the Kool-Aid Man flying an airplane.

^^This is why I never liked that VOY Tuvix episode.

^Beat me to it!

Best post in the thread!

Diacanu used to present a good case and could make me laugh my ass off even when I disagreed with him.

The old Diacanu would have loved this thread.

What's not funny about 1950's red-fever being a bunch of insincere crap from industrial power-mongers?
I find it hilarious.

Oh, I know what I left out...BROOOOMPTTT!

There we go.

It's not red-fever: it's watching the nation fundamentally shift away from the basic principles of its founding.

I find it frightening.

Yep, those basic principles like a slave being three-fifths of a person, and only free white males being allowed to vote.

You would.

Yeah, yeah,...

Potato, potahto, fetus, foetus....

Ah, that didn't take long!

Are you going to go all the way and use Muad Dib's Law?

"As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison of Confederates to Nazis or Hitler approaches 1."

Damn right!

Never.
Never would.
The confederates were smarter than Nazis.
Nazis pissed away all that good labor in the ovens.
Stupid.
See, you've got to demean the humanity of the other side, but not so much, you can't make a buck off their back.
The corporatists who invented the slave trade where insidiously clever sons of bitches.
Angry Germanic thugs in pretty suits making a parody of civilization, not as much.
One has to put these things in the proper context.
Think it through, y'know?
People are so sloppy....
Tch.

Oh yeah, right, and BROOOMPT!

Meh. Muad Dib's Law, like Godwin's Law, is designed to suppress discussion. I'm surprised you guys haven't worked out a law for references to Stalin, Pol Pot, and Juan Peron.

All part of the Fear of Actual Discussion with a Librul.

For accuracy.

Either that or they didn't.

Stop prancing around in Storm's flesh, it's creepy.

I understand, Snookums. That's why all you can do is neg-rep. Poor widdle Jamey.
