<p>Yes.  Liberal states like the one I'm in should be in favor of massive federal tax cuts.  I'm tired of subsidizing morons.</p>

<p>The U.S. outspends most NATO countries on defense spending a percent of GDP.  The Europeans couldn't end the Serbia/Kosovo situation on their own.  They needed the U.S.  Europe needs to do more to defend themselves and not rely so much on the U.S.</p>

<p>Russia is not so good on the battlefield but great at sowing dissent and getting their man elected. I’ll never understand Biden giving Ukraine just enough to not lose but jot enough to win.  Ukraine is fucked.  But Europeans should do more for their own defense and not rely on the U.S.</p>

<p>Immigration at it's current levels might be great but not necessarily if it greatly increased.  What you have to demonstrate is that in a world full of climate change caused chaos allowing tens of millions of people into the country is  it a bad idea.  We don't live in that word yet so referencing the effect of current levels of immigration is not relevant.</p>

<p>The Panama Canal is having problems now due to a prolonged drought.  There have already been migrations from Guatemala and Honduras due to droughts in the highlands.  Mexico City is facing a water problem partially due to drought.<p>From NASA:  <i>Increased evaporation will result in more frequent and intense storms, but will also contribute to drying over some land areas.</i><p>Don't know if Central America in particular will dry out in the long term.  Was just using it as an example of the types of migrations that will come from global warming.  Please try to understand the overall point and not pedantically nitpick.</p>

<p><i>Water can be solved with desalination and investments in energy output improvement tech.</i><p>New Mexico can’t build desalination plants.  Probably a good idea to not allow water intensive crops to be grown there that are exported.<p><i>Mass migrations can be handled by destroying all the layers of laws that NIMByYs use.</i><p>It’s rational for a country to not have open borders and allow anyone to just come. It’s also rational to not allow more people to come in than what the citizens are comfortable with.  It’s going to be much more Darwinian in the future.<p>India, for instance, isn’t going to be able account 200 million climate refugees from Bangladesh.</p>

<p>It is a foregone conclusion.  Countries should take steps to mitigate what happens to them.  For instance the U.S. should prevent Saudi companies from exploiting water resources in the U.S.  And we should build a wall to prevent mass migrations northward as Central America dries up.</p>

Leonardo was not great becuase of greed and being more greedy would not have made him better.<p>Greed is not good.  All ethical traditions recognize this.  Your view is pathetic.

<p>When I wrote there is a mainstreaming I meant that there is an attempt to make it mainstream.  There are conservatives who say they’d rather vote for a rapist felon than a liberal.  It’s an attempt to normalize certain viewpoints.  I.E. voting for Hitler is better than voting for a liberal.  The idea is that the worst of us is better than the best of you type mentality.</p>

<p>I fully expect the downvotes.  America since Reagan has largely embraced the greed is good mantra.  American evangelicals who profess to follow the Bible would downvote a comment that quoted the Bible by saying that the love of money is the root of all evil</p>

<p>Of course they aren't identical.  The point is that prior to the internet everyone thought it reasonable to prevent kids from accessing pornography.  Now it is widely available to them online.  Some people think this is not right.  There are no perfect solutions.</p>

<p>It's easy to view pornography online regardless of age.  That's what we are talking about.<p>Here are my leftist views:  No one should have more than $10 million of wealth.  Everyone should have a place to live, food, and healthcare.  Healthcare should be free at the point of usage.  The U.S. should stop funding Israel.  Higher education should be free.  Churches should pay tax on the property they own.  Donations to charity should not be tax deductible.  Public transportation should be heavily subsidized and greatly expanded.  The DOD and CIA and NSA should be greatly reduced in size and scope.  Elections should be publicly funded so that each candidate gets an equal amount of funding.  Abortion should be legalized everywhere.  Homeschooling should be outlawed.</p>

<p>That's disturbing and news to me. I didn't vote for Biden.  The only time I voted for the winner in a Presidential election was my vote for Trump in 2016.  But my vote for Trump was due to my theory that electing the dumbest, most corrupt, incompetent asshole possible is what America deserves.</p>

<p><i>Democratic persuasion techniques like this are also part of the problem...</i><p>People buy shirts that say “I’d rather be Russian than a liberal.”  The demonization of the opposing ideology goes both ways.  Everything you wrote applies to conservatives as well.<p>Trump lusts after his own daughter and if that alone doesn’t qualify him as a shitty person to his supporters then they clearly value ideology over the truth and morality.</p>
