Save your breath.

Discussion and debate with the fascists is pointless, which is why I no longer post on this forum. For these people, the world and its resources are simply another money-making opportunity for those enlightened and creative individuals who have the initiative and courage to seize it for themselves. For them, the rest of the world's inhabitants, those who choose not to directly compete with them for this prize (no doubt due to their inherent laziness, wickedness and stupidity) are only of value as employees, consumers and infantry, and if they cannot docilely fulfill those functions they are clearly superfluous, if not downright dangerous. For the fascists, any who challenge this world view must then be, by definition, toxic collectivists who seek only to ensure world domination is taken from those who intrinsically deserve it and be parceled out to those who are destined to hew their wood and draw their water.

It is this malignant mentality which dominates these boards, constantly trying to impose its message to drown out all other debate, conversation, discussion or speculation, and to make sure the only topic ever allowed for discussion is their own agitprop. Demolishing them in argument, exposing their lies, demonstrating the true selfish motivations behind their selfish whining does no good because they are not here to argue, they are here only to control what is being argued about. Believe me, I tried meeting them half way, I tried to learn what I could from them, I really tried to see their point of view, or at least pick what I could find of value in it and incorporate it into my own world view. Instead, I was treated with contempt; after all, those are liberal actions and traits. For them, they are just evidence of my cowardice and weakness and any who exhibit such tolerance should be crushed as the fools they are.

Forget about talking to these reactionaries. This is an election year, if you feel the need to talk, speak the truth to those who are undecided, or to the good folk who have been misled by the fascists' lies and are now seeing for themselves the desolation they have left behind in the short period where they have wielded near-absolute political and economic power. Engage yourself in the political dialogue and bring the truth to the people, believe me, they are ready for it, they have suffered enough and they know now who really has a hand in their pocket. Do not waste your energy and your talents engaged in pointless debate here with them, it is only a distraction to draw you away from the real struggle, the one going on in the workplace, the press, the marketplace, the unions, the schools and the living rooms of America. Go out where the real struggle is and fight there, on a battleground of your own choosing, not here where you waste your energy on those who have no intention of listening anyway.

Besides, those who come here to snark are not the real enemy. They are not the movers and shakers and diabolical masterminds behind brutal economic power. These are the ones who couldn't make it in that world, the wannabees, the never-weres, the failed businessmen and self-styled entrepreneurs who have spent their whole lives in some sweatshop of their own and need a leftist conspiracy to justify their own personal failures and the collapse of their own entrepreneurial fantasies. If not liberals, it is blacks, or immigrants, or Jews who are always the enemy, the conspiracy which threatens their ideological purity. It is always SOMEONE ELSE that must be blamed. It is never their own failure to prosper in their own phony meritocracy, it always has to be some outsider.

Real businessmen don't go to chat groups and talk up their ideology. Like all true predators, they crouch quietly in the tall grass of indifference and anonymity until they are ready to strike. And these predators are now funding Democratic campaigns and candidates, because they are going to win the next election. Real businessmen don't gve a damn about ideology. All they care about is power and money, and the only emotions they are capable of are greed and fear.

I gotta go.
