Socialism: OK For Men?

     When we listen to the Main Stream Media we hear an ongoing mantra that has been repeated for more than a decade. Socialism bad, Capitalism good. To see how Americans exist in a fog purposely contrived by the 1%, through their monopolization of the information pathways in this country, one must don their critical thinking cap.
     Looking at data is an idea promoted by the scientific method of problem solving. A time tested way of reaching conclusions in order to determine our location, so that we can chart a path to desired outcomes. In other words, we need to see where we are in order to decide which direction we want to go. If we think we are somewhere when we are actually in a totally different place, we will never be able to logically plan our way to where it is we wish to be. And this is exactly the conundrum the 1% enjoy, a spell if you will which they have cast upon us in order to enable them to reign free.
     Americans have been propagandized to hate anything to do with the mention of Socialism. It conjures up images of the late Soviet Union and the poverty and human misery suffered under that regime. It conjures up images of Cuba and totalitarian government inflicting poverty and militarism on the society there. The Main Stream Media have instilled these images into the mindset of the American populous using high tech visuals and sounds. Combined with scare tactics, negative attitudes and stories of certain doom. This is purposely instigated onto the population with a specific agenda. To promote an economic system of free market capitalism. This economic system is the favorite of archaic patriarchy which is no friend to humanitarianism or equality and in fact promotes racist warmongering, environmental degradation and poverty.
     Proponents of patriarchy do have a soft spot for men at least in as much as being able to control and exploit them for the purpose of making more money for themselves. The 1% of men in control of everything have convinced most of the other 99% of men, that all men are superior and need to rule over the Earth and all the creatures on it including women and children. That everything exists for the pleasure of men to be used as they see fit. Now, even if many open minded men realize this is an archaic and backward view to have towards the world and everything in it, they still need to be aware of it's effects. In fact, life on Earth is dependent on the awakening of male humans to the destructivism and chaos of a widespread mindset promoting  ideas of patriarchy. For in truth, patriarchy is the rule of only 1% of men over all others. Convincing all men that it benefits men in general is a huge propaganda campaign.
     Let's start by determining where we are. Looking at the facts and data is hard to do because they're not pretty. As an intellectual and civilized species we would expect to have, by this day and age, accomplished more. We should have much more to celebrate and be proud of. OK, so that's where we want to go, towards the direction of being a species that has something to offer the universe. Beauty, peace, wisdom and ingenuity more of these is what we all desire. How do we get there?
     Realizing first, that there are in fact many social programs for men. The Military is tax payer funded. A Jobs and "Private Contractor" Corporate Social Program devised to generate livelihoods for mostly men. Wall Street feeds off the Military and is run by a majority of men. Lest we forget Wall St. banks were bailed out by a social program of tax payer funds. Congress, SCOTUS, State and City Governments are all funded by tax payer dollars and are also dominated by men in their employ. Churches are extremely prevalent in the USA. Most of which serve as non-profit money conduits for the men who run them. The NFL is a male centric corporate entity that makes $10 Billion in tax-exempt profit every year. National, State and Local road, highways and bridges (infrastructure) is an ongoing jobs program for again, mostly men. When cities get grants to build anything this is yet another social jobs program for men.

     So, when we hear Republicans and Libertarians bash Socialism we now must immediately call them out. Because men are the biggest benefactors of Socialism in the USA. When we hear the Republican warmongers bash single moms trying to raise kids in a society extremely hostile to women; we need to compare what men get and the insufficient and nonexistent support for women. We need to call them out when they criticize and try to abolish SNAP. Because the reality does not support their anti-social talking points. Shining a light on Male Centric Social Programs is the least we can do to pinpoint our exact location. Allowing men to continue to imagine they are not dependent on social programs would be enabling a lie that perpetuates the archaic mindset of patriarchy.

How To Debate A Psychopath

We all know Michele Bachmann is as crazy as the day is long. Call it training on her part, to excellently get her talking points out, if you want to. I still see a crazy person. I think her "ability" needs to be addressed because it's not doing anybody any favors as far as improving society. The non-psychopath would never be so charmingly interruptive (subversively rude) to let loose a verbal tsunami, sweeping through an endless litany of absolute non-facts with such confidence. If you haven't seen the interview between Bachmann and Sanders I will try and post it here. You need to see this behavior in action to be able to comprehend and identify it in the future. 

One of the most dedicated and genuine people working in the US Congress, Independent Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont (Jewish) was basically tagged-teamed by two Zionist-Capitalists (at least one a certifiable psychopath) during this interview. This is the sh*t that happens in our corporate media to good people who aspire to public service and 'we the people' suffer for it. The only way to combat this is to identify it for what it is, corruption and criminal behavior. Some might claim if the perpetrators are psychopaths then we really can't call them criminals for suffering from a mental illness. But this is just not true. Serial killers and other heinous criminals are identified as such when they obviously suffer from some mental deficiency that has a hand in how and why they hurt others.  

What should a person do if they're called to debate an obvious psychopath? I say prepare. 

• Watch videos of them in interviews with others. Learn their talking points, stop the video to write each one down. Then devise an answer for each. Short, sweet and to the point, use facts. Remember, they are on a roll and won't give you time to express your views in the way normal healthy thoughtful people do. Write your answers down, put them on flash cards to learn them so well you can repeat them back in any order. Remember, the facts are on your side. 
• Also, for each false statement in the videos you review, write down a question to respond with. For instance, when Bachmann says "...it's all about jobs, I'm for more jobs," call her on it. Bernie could say, "How can you say that when Congress has never passed the Presidents Jobs Bill?" She will then repeat her lie, and you will reform your question into a statement. "The Congress won't pass the Presidents Jobs Bill so nobody believes you when you say that." Then shame for her for lying by showing you are not alone (millions of us are watching). He could say, "How can you keep saying you care about jobs when the whole world has watched the Republican Congress blatantly ignore the Presidents Jobs Bill for years now while Americans suffer?"... Remember to project your voice calmly and clearly. 
• They will skip around and come at you with your own issues (crazy, I know). For example, how in the hell could Bachmann accuse President Obama of having an economic war on women, when one of the first actions he took in office was signing the Lilly Ledbetter Act into law? The Republican led House of Congress to this day won't allow it to be enforced, which would give women equal pay.  Be aware of this tactic and be ready to throw your perfectly worded answer in their face. (Have some fun! Lol) 
• Be prepared for the psychopath to talk over your important words. But know they are important and people need to hear them, even if your opponent doesn't want to hear them. You're not really there to talk to the person you are debating. You are there to bring your message of hope to the people. It gives people hope to see someone stand up to their oppressors. Michele Bachmann is a psychopathic liar, she did it over and over and over again in the interview. It was so shocking a regular person couldn't help but be flabbergasted. And that was entirely her tactic, to render her opponent at a loss for words. 

Whatever you do, please do not be intimidated by a psychopath politician. They are incapable of coming up with original solutions to the problems facing our world. They are incapable of relating to the suffering of people in the ways most of us do. They will make their fake attempts to try to convince their followers that they care. We see in the interview how Bachmann used her voice to whine while talking about the "poor woman" who needs a job. She is not saying anything here, she is actually using the sound of her voice as a weapon which is unexpected because it's what children do. You will be surprised how easy it is to expose that charade with examples of the sadistic and cruel policies they support.
