Normally I don’t get involved in politics, but I must make an exception for the inspirational Bernie Sanders who has emerged as the most admired Jewish man in the entire World in the eyes of Americans:
Even though I admire the millionaires and billionaires who Bernie likes to vilify, the fraud and abuse on Wall Street is reprehensible, and most U.S. politicians are just puppets for the rich. The U.S. desperately needs campaign finance reform.
Bernie also displays incredible integrity for a politician. He’s had the same views for decades, he raises money from small individual contributions, not super PACs, he’s run a positive campaign refusing to exploit Hillary’s scandals, and despite being extremely pro-Israel, he opposed the Iraq war and supported the Iran nuclear deal.
However unlike Bernie, I don’t think massive economic inequality is inherently bad, and I disagree with his plans to make college less expensive. How about making college less necessary? Now that would be progress.
bernie doesn’t vilify the rich just their level of influence…
greed is one of the seven mortal sins.
For the love of money is the root of all evil.
Bernie Sanders should be a Jewish prole to you!
scandinavian socialism along with a moratorium on all immigration is the only hope america and the anglo-prole-sphere have…without both the US will just become another new world shit hole like panama…and this will happen in my lifetime.
and how does peepee know bernie is pro-israel? i’ve never heard that. chomsky is an israel hating jew. they do exist.
but you’ve yet to hear about bernie’s bastard baby.
that’s not a joke. it’s on wikipedia. he has adopted children, but his only biological child was born out of wedlock.
but in the end such changes will only be a holding action.
ethnically heterogeneous countries inevitably fall apart.
with the exception of canada and the US the new world has been a total disaster.
even argentina which claims to be 98% european is really more like 85% european…just look at its football team…lots of indian admixture…the same goes for coast rica.
but the rich argentines and costa ricans are 100% european.
europe is still homogeneous and democratic enough that it has anti-immigration parties.
my guess is of things get bad enough the europeans will do the right thing and block all further immigration…but japan is ethnically homogeneous with no immigration and its economy still sucks…getting rid of the immigrants isn’t a panacea.
in america and the anglo-prole-sphere if one is called a racist he denies it.
in europe if one is called a racist he says, “and?”
the anglo-prole-sphere is 100% capitalistic, which doesn’t give a damn about anything except money. high income inequality and mass immigration persist, because the status quo needs to exploit 3rd world types, in order to become wealthy.
Bernie is very pro-Israel
Of course there are Jews who hate Israel but Chomsky is a master manipulator.
he does vilify the wall street rich…
but that’s a minority of rich people and a minority of super rich people.
the rich who’ve inherited it or who were motivated to accomplish some-thing rather than to get rich or to be some-one are more virtuous than the average man.
henry ford was a saint.
as kojeve said:
Marx est Dieu, Ford est son prophète.
of course those who’ve inherited it are usually more “virtuous” only because they’ve been given an environment where being virtuous is easier. but the rich by birth are usually dumber than their parents.
and if they want to open an art museum in arkansas, then they’re vicious. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_Bridges_Museum_of_American_Art
If both smarts & evil help make one rich & if both traits are heritable, the kids of the rich should inherit these traits along with the money, though because of regression to the mean, they might be much less smart & evil than the self-made rich, unless money has been in their family for many many generations. Then they might be more smart & evil than the self-made rich because of repeated selection
just being frugal…including in the number of children you have…is enough to maintain and increase great wealth for 100s of years…or it should be.
in the US the oldest rich families i can name are the duponts and the astors…but the richest individual member isn’t all that rich any more.
in a way it’s surprising that so few scions of a fortunes made prior to 1900 are among america’s 400 richest. i think david rockefeller and ted field are the last…though they may only be in the top 1000 by now.
but another investment tip…
the wallenbergs of italy are the agnellis, and their exo is like the wallenbergs’ investor.
the yahoo tickers: EXO.MI vs INVE-B.ST.
i’ve bought investor, but given the current agnelli ceo is half jew i’m holding off on that.

There are 5 main reasons for this:
1) the inheritance tax adds up each generation
2) The Forbes 400 is a list of individual wealth. The fortunes of old money is now divided up among too many heirs for any single one to be super rich.
3) Regression to the mean on the traits that built the fortune (i.e. IQ, hard work, greed, evil)
4) It’s very hard to put in the sacrifice to increase or even maintain wealth when you already have so much. Oprah has said that if she were born with silver spoon, she’d still be there licking it
5) Forbes might underestimate the wealth of old money because it’s usually hidden in private investments, unlike new money which is made in well publicized and publicly traded startups.
the inheritance tax explains nothing…and less than nothing in america.
do the math peepee.
in real dollar terms the richest man who ever lived, king or commoner, was john davison rockefeller.
yet his grandson david rockefeller is worth “only” 3b.
I believe the power to make money is a gift of God … to be developed and used to the best of our ability for the good of mankind.
when david rockefeller was asked by the uber-prole charlie rose what his grandfather thought his greatest accomplishment was…
the consolidation of a theretofore fragmented oil industry.
Scandinavian socialism is a horrible model.
How so?
So what’s his IQ?
Bernie’s admiration quotient or AQ has a normalized z score of 5.3 and IQ and admiration are correlated at .4. However, reptilians have poor processing speed due to slow metabolism, and therefore low FSIQ, which makes him seem slow and old and unlikeable. His admirability is therefore almost entirely mediated by his manipulative, evil genetic g or GIQ and not his IQ. We can perform a validity generalization on the effect size of 5.3 to find his GIQ. Dividing his z score of his AQ by the g loading of his AQ we get: 5.3/.4 = 13.4
So his GIQ is 13.4 standard deviations above the Jewish racial IQ of 130, or 331!
I for one welcome our new reptilian overlord!

The way i understand it; you multiply by the coefficient not divide by it.
5.3(0.4) = 2.12
2.12 * 15(standard deviation) = IQ 31.8
the Jewish racial IQ of 130
no, that would be 110 or 115 at max.
I support Donald J. Trump, but if a democrat wins the general election, I would prefer Bernie Sanders over the other democratic candidates. They are all the same to me, but Bernie’s personality seems the most palatable.
The way Trump has played the media like a Stradivarius is like nothing the world has ever seen and ever likely will again. As a white, middle-aged millennial, I like him because he is bringing issues to the fore that republicans have refused to and that democrats have eschewed.
End illegal immigration!
Build a wall and make Mexico pay for it!
End Islamic immigration!
I don’t have time for political correctness!
Even if all of this is just an elaborate and disingenuous re-imagining on Trump’s part, to appeal to me and my ilk, I don’t care. I want a politician to do what I want him to do, because he wants my vote. Whether he believes in what he says is irrelevant, especially if he won’t deliver on those promises.
When I go to a restaurant, I don’t get the chef’s favorite, if I don’t like. I would rather eat a meal expertly prepared by someone who has to plug their nose while they make it. In other words, I don’t care about what Trump believes, as long as he keeps his promises.
Due to mass immigration, legal and illegal, the United States is on its way to becoming a third world nation. Donald Trump is a step in the direction against that. On the other hand, Bernie Sanders and the rest of the democrats (and most republicans for that matter) are eagerly marching towards our demographic destruction.
If drugs were legal we would not need a wall. The Mexican economy would recover without the cartel killing people and corrupting the government resulting in more people having opportunities for financial and physical security. You cannot solve crime by incentivising it.

America is a strictly 100% capitalistic country. If it is profitable to allow criminals to deliver drugs here, and then build prisons to house them, then so be it. America is all about $$$$$. An American police officer makes an upper middle class salary.
JS but isn’t there a higher proportion of blacks in prison for drug-related crimes than (non-white) hispanics? (By their proportion to the population of course) it’s basically white guys who are the drug lords in latin America harming (whether accidentally or not) the non-white multitudes of their country, as well as American Blacks. With that thought, maybe Trump CAN win the black vote 🙂
Actually, I think it is more like, if there was no welfare state, then we would not need a wall. That said, Trump will have more support for a wall than for abolishing the welfare state. I don’t have a problem with drug legalization, but I doubt it would be the panacea some say it would be. We can argue about whether drug use is moral or immoral, but it is currently illegal and so it is quite stupid for someone to risk their freedom, just to puff a burning plant or compressed powder. That someone would put their life on the line for a few moments of high, to me is a sign that they have a short time horizon and are not very intelligent.
I don’t think Americans are ready for a Bernie Sanders. The populace still has not mature and they act like little kids. Many people are on welfare, abusing the system, by having a lot of kids and not improving their lives. Therefore, America is not ready for a Bernie Sanders.
Actually, social parasites are just the sort of people that Bernie appeals to.
what those with “eyes to see” can see…
the US market is the outlier…and has been the outlier.
all other stock markets either peaked in early 2014 or have been shit since 2008…dead cats bouncing.
italy, spain, france, greece, portugal…
the facts are contradicting the prevailing ideology.
capitalism isn’t working…
even for capitalists.
something’s gotta give.
so if peepee has investments…
i’ve rebalanced much more into long term coupon stripped US treasuries…
if the US follows europe and japan to absurdly low rates i’ll make bank…if not…the rest of the portfolio will compensate.
inheriting a lot of money and winning the lottery aren’t the same.
usually.
that is, much is expected of heirs.
what would i do, if i won the lottery?
give it away.
every last cent.
and if i had any chance to spew to the mass media…i’d say, “the lottery is a tax on poor people. ‘y’all’ should be ashamed of yourselves for promoting gambling.”
and i’m not alone.
my “dutch uncle” feels the same way.
more than 250k per year one should either invest in whatever business he owns or give it away…
though giving it away without throwing it away is quite difficult…i think this is one reason why so many of the rich are…understandably…republicans.
i have to agree with peepee…i think…
that the idea that the rich are just greedy and amoral is pretty tiresome.
but the idea that the rich are paragons of virtue is even more tiresome.
and it’s not as if these things can’t vary over time…
my own experience is that…
the “successful” and the rich in america are…
today…
more than ever and almost exclusively…
pushy, striving, obedient, and amoral…
smart…enough…but not that smart.
and that it used to be better…even in america.
my own pathetic family history is an example…
if my dad and his dad hadn’t been such financial pantywaists, i’d be waiting for a large inheritance.
i was un-lucky…looking up the family name…almost all of ’em are multi-millionaires…but none with my scores…i assume…maybe i should ask them for a better job?
So Pumpkin Person believes in Noblesse Oblige? ( I did have to look it up on the internet to figure out how to spell).
To all the HBD socialists: please make yourself known here.
You supporting Bernie in the upcoming election pumpkin? How would we go about making college less necessary?
No I’ve dumped Bernie. Can’t stand his supporters
melo is your least successful sockpuppet.
i expect we’ll never hear from again.
Lol because of his supporters? I didn’t vote for Trump because he’s a dumbass not because of Mugabe’s stupidity.
I’m starting to lean toward Andrew yang, but I’m interested in what Warren might bring to the table, but bernie is probably the best bet as far as beating trump goes. Nigga wont get off of my youtube ads.
