I find that really odd. I was libertarian starting senior in high school, but started slowly trending authoritarian about halfway through freshman year in college and never stopped lol.

That's strange! I never heard of someone becoming more authoritarian in college. Why lol did you witness too much debauchery?

 you couldn't do it lol. 

Well duhcakes. If you don't watch it then I can't present it.

Grats on winning btw.

Also to clarify

I'm always amazed and jealous of your HIGH level of curiosity and your commitment.

I don't want you to think I was being snarky.

Yeah, I think being around so many degenerates as the country culturally declines had quite the effect on me haha

Yeah, I'm a very curious person.  I keep hearing this allegation about politicians being lobbied by corporations to keep small businesses closed through coronavirus lockdowns in particular. That may be true, but it's weird that I have to try so hard to get a straight answer about which politicians and which corporations are involved when this belief is so widespread and apparently so obvious.  Lol @ people believing things but then being utterly incapable of answering a very straightforward question about those beliefs. 

If the video answers my question about who's involved... why can't you just name an example from the video?

I remember a pretty pertinent quote alleged to come from Mark Twain.

"A person who won’t read has no advantage over one who can’t read."

Are you saying you don't know how to read and that's why you can't relay what's in the video?

Hmm I haven't won anything that I know of, but I do know that had I wasted my time watching another one of your useless YouTube links, I probably would have deserved to go into the "loser" category. 


(that is literally the headline) 

Lol @ this fear mongering nut job. Okay Tucker -- which elites? I just want to know who to be terrified of!  I have heard him make this claim like 100x in the last few months yet not once has he considered it newsworthy to specify who is trying to destroy the economy and every aspect of our lives. All he says is "the left" or "the elites" which is enough evidence  for Tucker Carlson fans, obviously. They think this is great reporting lol. "The man makes a great case!" Can't argue with that logic 🤪

To be fair you would have had to sit thru 6 minutes of bloviation to get to it.

It's far easier to spend 6 minutes explaining why you can't get to that point, and it also makes you a winner.

To put it simply, I trust corporations more than I trust government.
Corporations would be significantly less evil without government assistance.

You made a claim, and yet the second I asked you for one shred of evidence... like literally one single name or one single corporation to back up that wide sweeping generalization you made... you couldn't do it lol.

corporations are the people who help understand the consumer more than the government.

Bottom Right Libertarians believe that they shouldn't tell others what to do, but also shouldn't be paying taxes for things they won't use.
The right to refuse service to any customer for any reason.

The right to monopolize markets.

A purely fee based economy where all roads are toll roads.

Corporations would be significantly less evil without government assistance.

They would also be a lot less evil if they were not allowed to purchase the ability to write the regulations that destroy competition and make hedge fund investors rich through their well paid Washington DC lobbies.



There is more real estate dedicated to corporate lobbyists than actual public government buildings. It's ridiculous.
