Considering that u/theCrossbones is likely not in the position to be able to implement laws or policies at any scale, how does that user self-regulate you?



Again, simple.
By instituting policies and truths.
Getting the majority to believe and regurgitate them.
The majority will then chastise or ostracize anyone who doesn't.
Just like he is doing now.

Do you understand the difference between regulate and self-regulate, as it pertains to this discussion?

Of coarse not.
But you can create a self regulating system based on your policies/desires.

In fact, you are attempting to self regulate me right now with what you just said.


LOL no I wasn't and if I was it failed completely, as you are still here.

There will always be mathematical outliers.
But a clever person will account for that anomaly as well.
Would they not?

No one physically made him or anyone else on here chastise or ostracize me and my opinions.
Yet you do.
Looks mighty self regulated from when I'm standing.

That would be one person trying to regulate you, according to your perspective. Self-regulating would mean that they're trying to regulate themselves.

I mean, I've tried self regulating in PaRD lately, where before today, I've had maybe one post in the past four days. I've also tried to not be combative when I do post. That's self-regulation.

Most right wingers like JP want leftism. They just can't get over the label.

There's a reason why the right in general has spent so long demonizing the left aesthetically instead of on the merits.


That reason is because both parties have the same right wing ideology and the "new left" is the first time that true left wing ideas have been expressed and they're demonizing it as Marxism and communism to reproduce the red scare.

It's simple.
institute a law or policy to take a large pro-left leap forward.
Let the conservatives rage and complain.
Taking the large leap to a small step.
Left is happy but want more change.
Right is happy cause felt they made them backstep.

When is reality the small step is all you wanted in the first place.
Rinse and repeat till you get from where you are to where you want to be.


Ah the slippery slope shows it's face again.

Basically.

But as long as each party gets elected they don't really care. A first-past-the-post system is nothing but two parties falling over themselves to appeal to the richest people.

The New Deal was precisely the kind of policy that guided America far away from communism.
Trends are pressure-based and cyclical. America in the 1930s was experiencing the kind of extreme economic pressures that could have empowered communists, and the liberal policies of social welfare, work programs and regulation relieved those pressures. If the economy had kept buckling, America might have avoided the war and the country might have imploded as the communists wanted. Its healthy for a country to exercise these kind of safety valves without blowing up.


But did this open the doors for a complete inversion down the line?
