Tucker Carlson Says Democrats Are The Party Of ‘Weak Men And Unhappy Women’

No idea what you’re trying to say here.

If merit was rewarded we wouldn’t see such widespread class mobility issues.

 

Nope, nope, and nope.

 

Capitalism rewards having capital, no matter whether that capital was gained by merit or not. Trust fund babies, for example, have a lot of capital, which was gained without merit.

 

The merit rewarded in meritocracy is that someone is good at something be it education, intelligence, problem solving ability or now, 'wokeness'.

 

You suggested that they are insecure and should adopt your mindset. I took that to be a boast of superiority. It comes from my impatience with liberals who look down on the working class. If I have misinterpreted your remarks, please clarify.

 

I gather you've never studied a rudimentary economics textbook 'cause the rudimentary economics textbook defines the optimal production amount to be the intersection of the supply curve and the demand curve.

Capitalism rewards supply and demand.

 

I’m starting to think that I need you to explain what you think Meritocracy is. I suspect that we’re not talking about the same thing here.

 

A meritocracy is where people succeed based on their ability to excel.

 

And capitalism is the system whereby capitalists reward merit by lending it capital and allowing the meritorious to become successful. Thus a poor but skilled machinist can borrow to buy his tools, build a successful buisness, pay back his loan and buy a large truck.

 

Supply and demand is an economic model. It’s not rewarded by capitalism. What are you talking about?

 

Economics is capitalism.

 

If that’s your understanding I think I’m starting to get where your weird opinions are coming from.

Meritocracy is the holding of power, government or otherwise, based on ability. This is incongruous with capitalism, as the people who hold power are those with capital. Possessing capital is often not determined by one’s ability.

 

So it’s not rewarded by capitalism then, yes?

 

There is no rational defense of that agenda that can be made.

 

What is the woke agenda? Could you lay out a few bullet points?

 

So you are opposed to multi generational transfers of wealth from a successful farm, business, career to their children and grandchildren and want it redistributed to the government instead?

 

From what I've observed for about the last twenty years, as Democrats became increasingly 'radicalized' and then 'woke', they became intellectually lazy! After all, it requires much less effort and energy to simply "believe" something than to explore and explain WHY you "believe" something....

An example of what I'm describing -- there's at least one poster here in the Forum who is definitely a real, dyed-in-the-wool 'true-believer' in all things that are hyperliberal and 'woke'. He's an articulate, clever person (unlike many 'wokesters') who has mastered the art of inference, extrapolation, and the 'foregone conclusion'... but he predicates so many of his foundational arguments based on "everybody knows that ____________ is true!" (fill in the blank). It's one of the oldest tricks in the debaters arsenal, but it's usually ineffective at anything beyond the 'freshman' level.

But, in fairness, I would offer that anyone, whether Loonie-tunes Left or Goose-stepping Right, who believes a 'thing' -- but cannot defend that belief with anything rational, plausible, or substantiated by the required facts is utterly delusional!

. "You don't need to know what you don't know...."

 

Under a better system the amount of capital a single person or family could amass wouldn’t be nearly as much as it is under capitalism.

So I have no problem with generational wealth transfers. I have a problem with how much can be accrued and transferred.

 

No, Tucker is quite wrong about what he said. It's just more talking head blather that plays to what some people already believe to be true, whether it's true or not. It's a 60 minute circle jerk, basically.

 

It appears your understanding of what capitalism is comes from you being, at least, socialist. I wouldn't, for example, ask a devil worshipper to define Christianity for me.

Let me set the record straight for you: Possessors of capital acquired that capital when they pleased the people.

 

Misinformation. At least, it's an opinion not based on any facts.

 

Which political statement are you trying to make?

 

That defense that dems use for wokeism is that wokeism is a form of reparations for any people they feel have been wronged...Of course, wokeism doesn't believe whites need to be given reparations because whites have caused situations which demand wokeism....Wokeism intends to be legal white race baiting and legal civil rights violations on whites.

 

No they didn't.
