A man wouldn't live a long life if all he ate were fish in this day and age.

What bot or “ unhinged person “ keeps posting and attacking Bernie Sanders. The last i checked. Trump is president for life!
Figgler@reddit
I don’t understand the constant posts about Bernie. He is ideologically opposed to libertarianism but isn’t a major name pushing anything in the government and isn’t even liked by the democratic establishment. It feels like picking on the smallest kid in class.

Meh, I wouldn't worry about that. There is no way Trump would ever get the votes to amend the constitution to allow a 3rd term.
ThinInvestigator4953@reddit
Bro Trump hasnt even attempted a single normal process for new legislation. Hes completely ignoring the Judicial and Legislative branch, what makes you think hes going to use the process of amendments to get what he wants?
Dude is speed running dictatorial capture. And if his dipshit supporters are on board, the laws on the books dont reaply matter.
Last i checked a felon cannot run for president. Yet here we are with a felon as president.
bodhiseppuku@reddit
Sure, but some of that might have to do with public sentiment (driving the actions of senators and congressmen).
Only the most staunch Trump supporters would ever be for amending the constitution for a thrid term... I bet that is way less that 10% of the voting public. It might be that %52 of the voting public voted for him, but waaaaaaaay less people would be comfortable modifying the constitution. Even if they wanted Trump-for-life, they would fear the next Democrat in office exceeding the 2 term max. The juice isn't worth the squeeze as my friend says.
What do you think?
ThinInvestigator4953@reddit
That's kind of what im getting at, He will put himself on the ballot for a 3rd term, without changing the constitution, and trumpers will be none the wiser and vote for him again, he didn't have to chage the constitution to run as a criminal, despite that people may disagree, he was found in front of a jury to be guilty.
He is preparing his supporters to be okay with a 3rd termright now, its the same strategy he used when he claimed the election was stolen months before the votes were even being cast.
Its his strategy to preppare and normalize the batshit cazy stuff hes doing so people are exhausted from media reports about it and he just rams his way through without using any of the processes the governemnt has to perform these actions.
If Trump tries to run for a 3rd term, Obama should try to run against him. And no Trumper should have a single issue with that.

Trump reads a script and does what he is told. I know it's hard for muppet life to understand this, but you have been played. They are all in on the same ticket. The idea you think Trump is anything but a golfer and actor in the white house is fucking hilarious. It's like you kids are still 15 or something and don't understand what happened to the US in the last 120 years.

‘Teach a man to fish’… So then Reddit libertarians are advocating for free tuition, apprenticeship, and trade school programs right? …Right?

Ha and that didn't even work.
Electrical-Air-8896@reddit
So it’s wrong to want to look out for your fellow countrymen by wanting your taxes to go towards social programs rather than wars or oligarchs?
AmericanaCrux@reddit
How about being concerned about our actual real life fish population, health and diversity?
Tell me more about teaching someone how to fish.
Explain how Capitalism will solve those problems effectively… and how it is hasn’t created the issues… if you have answers then please for fucks sake, go do it. Go solve it.
Fucking idiots.
FORGET BERNIE FUCKING SANDERS

Humans of every government and economic system have contributed to destroying the planet, this is not a problem exclusive to capitalism. By far the most destructive force on our environment is animal agriculture, which contributes over 50% of CO2 emissions globally as well as over 50% of global habitat destruction (that means it contributes more than every other sector combined). Humans started practicing this long before capitalism was even a concept. I will agree that capitalism doesnt help the problem at all but it is not the root cause
SpareSimian@reddit
Human population is collapsing as more women become educated and say no to having children. It's already crashing around the Pacific Rim and in Europe. The holdouts are places with religious fundamentalism. I doubt they're a threat to fisheries.
The reason fish are threatened is simply the Tragedy of the Commons, a very anti-capitalist system. If we owned fish like we owned cattle, the world would be buried in their manure and we'd be demanding that people stop eating them for the sake of climate change.
AmericanaCrux@reddit
We own fish like cattle. And I demand you stop eating them.

I think I'll air fry some Gorton's fillets tonight!

Enjoy your privilege while it lasts plebe.
FreeZookeepergame912@reddit
Not my problem so I don't owe that's my approach
AmericanaCrux@reddit
I truly don’t understand…
What part of a biodiversity crisis isn’t your problem?
Or, is it, that you are free to make problems for others, and of course still not owe?
Or, perhaps, Libertarians don’t exist to solve any problem whatsoever. Just a bunch of bubble people who pass the time by observing the problems of others at a safe distance whilst smelling their own righteous bubble farts.
What is YOUR problem? Care to come join the party and claim any of the big ones?
Own_City_1084@reddit
Is there any politician in office or on a ballot anywhere, that isn’t guilty of this?
I don’t like Bernie but at least he’s motivated by a sense of caring for others, albeit in an ineffective way, rather than pure malice and/or personal greed.
If someone’s gonna take my fish I’d rather it feed my neighbor than go to Israel

I guess this sub has been brigaded.

Send a man to sleep with the fish and he's not your problem anymore.
bodhiseppuku@reddit
The thing about capitalism vs other forms of government: Capitalism relies upon the desire of each person to have 'more'. More for themselves, more for their families. People put in effort to achieve their goals. It's not perfect, but currently the best IMO.
If people get many things for free, and they are not required to work, many will choose not to work. Humans in general are efficiency experts: 'let's figure out the least effort I have to put in to achieve my goal'.
That efficiency is good in business, not so good when expecting handouts.
MimeBox@reddit
of everything to feel pressed up you woke up and chose Bernie sanders? seek help, my guy.
JimmyHere@reddit
How about crying about not being able to fish!
SpareSimian@reddit
Privatize public land so we don't need to beg the government's permission to fish.

GOP: Tell a man someone's going to steal his fish and he'll vote for you.
ravinggenius@reddit
Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a night. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life!

Teach a man to fish and you ruin a good business opportunity.
TXTIA92@reddit
Give them a check for a million fish and they'll vote in your favor
xrp10000@reddit
Verse 3: so don’t teach a man to fish. He needs to be dependent on government.
Dollar_Bills@reddit
To be fair, he's only promising to give people other people's stuff. He hasn't done it.
Dfrickster87@reddit
Ya fuck that guy
libertarianinus@reddit
Politicians praiseing how great and generous they are for giving a group or people money after taking it from someone else is the opposite generosity.
