In 1969, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency created Arpanet, which became the Internet.
God responded with Dave Dubya.
My loved one spent part of Christmas morning laughing at this exchange.
I spent the time repeating OUCH!.
On the Eve of Christmas Eve, I had posted my reaction to a Dave Dubya proposition:
Dave Dubya defends the term Democratic Socialism.
Key meaning:
It is defined by the ideal and application of a democratic republic based on fair elections and fair representation for its citizens.
Key exclusion:
It is NOT “Marxism, communism or fascism”.
I dunno. Although this entire blog loves Dave, his thought does remind me of arguments on how Defund the Police may sound like abolishing police but really means something different.
If a label or slogan means something different than it sounds to ordinary non-political folks, it may be wise to adopt a more accurate self-description.
Dave then committed vivisection on that post without anesthetic:
Burr,
After reading your remarks, I have reached an epiphany.
Appended at the post:
It would seem “democratic socialism” is too complex and scary as a concept for Americans.
Maybe it should be called “Liberalism”, or “progressivism”. Oh, but those terms have been demonized out of political discourse by the radical Right too.
I got it! “Universal Socially Applied Capitalism” or “USA Capitalism”. How does that sound?
Merry Christmas! And a healthy happy new year to you.
Key Question:
Is Dave even capable of non-entertaining thought?
