    Seeing as a central tenet of millenialism - entitlement - is the very antithesis of socialism, I very much doubt it too.

And now we have to use it.

    And that's Why I'm Voting Leave.

    Millenials are more capitalist than many other generations were at this age.

    40+ years ago hippies in a field were singing John Lennon songs about "imagine no possessions".

    Today's millenials are sat in Starbucks paying a lot for their Caramel Macchiato while browsing the WiFi on their tablets.

    What? You have it backwards. Entitled to Healthcare, Food, Housing by virtue of being alive is inherently socialist. Something for nothing.

    To paraphrase

    Dread: Obama made it so millenials can't find appropriate job placements.
    Lewk: Millenials don't want jobs so they can support the safety nets they suffered without.


    I want to see these two argue their points with each other. It could be quite entertaining.

    It's one of those things that while technically legal it is ethically not.

    In a surprise twist that nobody saw coming, Ted Cruz endorses Beto O'Rourke?

    "One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."

    I was literally coming to this thread to post that!

    Seriously WTF is Cruz thinking?

    Note, however, that Ted has a history of accidentally tweeting the wrong videos.

    "“The defendant/driver then attempted to leave the scene,” Carrera reported. “The reporter then turned on his overhead lights to warn oncoming traffic and try to get the defendant to stop.”

    Four Pinocchios per the Washington Post. Not even sure why he bothers to lie about it, if he said yeah I tried to leave the scene I was making bad decisions while drunk it wouldn't even be in the news.

    This is not only scummy but also pretty dumb on several levels:

    This is however an effective way to breed resentment.

    It's also 2.5 years old. Not that much has changed since.

    It came up in a discussion about his dog-whistle politics.
    "One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."

    Dog whistle is the wrong term. A dog whistle is meant to be such that its innocuous to those you're not targeting but clear to those you are. This is just open and blatant.

    The discussion was prompted by him sharing the video of O'Rourke. The article about intensive policing of Muslim neighbourhoods was provided as evidence of how far he goes to pander to his base.

    Ah I understand. Yes he goes far and isn't subtle or discreet at all. He's a nasty man. I'm not sure if he's pandering and he's not just that vile. I don't think anyone with a shred of humanity could have shared that video thinking "this will turn people off my opponent".

    Most people appreciate police patrols in their neighborhood. Hell tons of restaurants provide free drinks and half priced meals so they can attract cops to their locale making them less likely to be a target of robbery.

    Well in that case there's no need to single out "Muslim" neighborhoods, is there. No need to deprive other neighborhoods.

    Lewk as an airport security guard: Surely you appreciate the honour of getting a cavity search because of your skin colour?

    Muslims might do something wrong. Lewk: use as many resources as needed and ignore as many rights as necessary to prevent them from doing anything wrong.

    Kavanaugh might have done something wrong. Lewk: don't you dare investigate what he did. The priority is making libs cry.

    We've covered this before, but this is false. Especially with well to do neighborhoods as the presence of police us seen as a hit on property values. Locally this came up recently when a mother and child were recently hit and killed by 2 street racers as the road is notorious for it's lack of police presence since it's the richest neighbor in the county. The city responded by lowering the speed limit but did nothing to change patrolling
