We talked about communism in H. World History. It was fun.

Do you like communism?

Well can you really call it bad?

I'm gonna say you didn't really talk about it that much if that's your response

The topic we are on is The Cold War. This is all we will talk about. Also, I hate it when people look down on certain democratic views. I mean, have your own political belief and stuff, but please don't try to undermine other political stands and stuff. It's not like any of them are perfect.

if my political views are that every fund every person has should be funneled into a Daily Bacon Sandwich For The President account, are my views valid?

No they're f#%$& stupid and deserve to be undermined

I'm really surprised you haven't gone over the inherent flaws of communism. It's pretty f#%$& important to do that when you're teaching kids because they won't understand why it's bad on their own

I can understand that I guess. I mean I don't wanna say that I completely agree with all communist views, but most of their ideal views can appeal to many people such as myself. But then looking at history and the downfall to communism and the reasons, its pretty legit to see why it is definitely not favored in many countries. I wanna go into politics one day and make it in a very high position, but its not like I'd try to force it into the economy of America.

You'd get stomped all over in any political situation, you're simply too nice.

For the last 3 f*** days, I've been dealing with issues with my f*** laptop. It all started one night, when the touchpad stopped moving. Completely. Nothing was dirty on it at all. It just f*** stopped for no f*** reason. When it started back moving, I couldn't click a damn thing, even if it was highlighted. So I manually turned off the thing. When I turn the f*** on, a startup repair screen pops up. All the next f*** day, I had to wait for it to complete the whole process. Now, we go to yesterday. I bought a new 16GB flash drive to get all of my important stuff off of that piece of s***. When I put the flash drive in, it starts to f*** lag and freeze like crazy! So I had to deal with that s*** all day because I didn't know until that following night that this and my old one that ALWAYS worked when I put it in were slowing down the computer for some f*** reason. I managed to scan it with Malwarebytes, but that didn't do as much as I thought that it would considering that the flash drives were causing the lag for some strange reason. Today I had to deal with all of the s*** from the last two days, with a bouns! f*** Bluescreens! Yes. Bluescreens. Here's the screwed up thing: I put the laptop in safe mode and it DIDN'T lag when I put in the new flash drive, but when I put it in when it's on normal mode, a f*** bluescreen. I honestly think that I need another program or something to help find out what's the f*** problem, but damn if I know what it is.

TL;DR, I have a piece of s*** computer that's pisses me off to the point of angrily ranting on the internet and I need to get a new PRACTICAL one.

Let me explain it to you the way it is usually explained to people when they first hear about it

The idea that everybody is totally equal no matter what seems super until you actually think about it

Imagine George and Vladimir work at a factory. Vladimir is a lazy piece of s*** and does only the absolute minimum to get by. George works hard every day above and beyond the call of duty. Both men are paid exactly the same wages. Neither has a chance to promote himself. Despite putting forth all of the extra effort that he does, George will always be 100% equal to lazy slacker Vladimir. What motivation does he have to continue doing what he does?

For another scenario, imagine that everyone in your class received the same grades. At the end of every test, your teacher finds the average score, and gives that score to every person in the classroom. The slackers will expect the honor roll students to pull their weight, so they won't bother studying. As such, the slackers will pull the average grade down so hard that the honor roll students won't bother trying to raise it again. The class may get something like a B average on the first test, but it would quickly drop to an F over the next few exams. Why should the honor roll kids bother when their grade will ultimately be impacted by the s*** students anyway?

My high school Government is rusty so forgive me if I forgot a detail or two

This was almost the exact same type of example my whole World History class got.

So you don't have a problem with that? Explain your reasoning.

Well I believe there is a problem with that. As I said, no political view is perfect. Some just have to ve seen as do the goods outweigh the bads and is this overall going to be best for your country.

i wouldn't self diagnose yourself like that, especially if it's just a one time thing
feeling blue every once in a while =/= having a mental illness

Wow, that was actually a very relatable explaining of communism, kudos to you.
