Stand with Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan -- with democracy and civilization against tyranny and barbarism
posted by Infidel753 at 3:20 PM
Individualist, pro-technology, pro-democracy, anti-religion. I speak only for myself and not for any ideology, movement, or party. It has been my great good fortune to live my whole life free of "spirituality" of any kind. I believe that evidence and reason are the keys to understanding reality; that technology rather than ideology or politics has been the great liberator of humanity; and that in the long run, human intelligence is the most powerful force in the universe.
God doesn't exist
Evolution happened
Global warming is real
Homosexuality is normal
Aging is a curable disease
The election was not stolen
Everything "spiritual" is a lie
US out of UN, UN out of US
Free speech is for everybody
Humans do not have "souls"
Men can't become women
Fetuses are not persons
Words are not violence
Taiwan is a nation
Pluto is a planet

I admit my take was on how the BernieBro "Let's Blow Up The Democratic Party to Save It" faction needed a reminder of how they've got it so good under an Obama administration, and how the party they're railing against as corrupt is really the party they ought to support.
Anyway. It's always a good thing to quote from the classics.
@Paul Wartenberg: Agreed, Paul. But to be fair, the best thing about this clip is that it can apply to both.
And as you said, it's always a good thing to quote from the classics.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to hum a few notes from "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life"....
I am a classical liberal/minarchist. I have never read Ayn Rand (not least because that speech goes on FOREVER).
Paul & Marc: A true classic is applicable in many situations.
Nick: I don't believe many people read that interminable garbage all the way through any more than they read the whole Bible (even I skipped parts of the most intolerable speeches). But some familiarity with wingnut literature is worthwhile as an insight into their thinking.
