The inevitable result of socialism? Woman goes broke after becoming a yoga teacher.

So a young empowered leftist goes broke after quitting her lucrative job in law to become a yoga teacher. Is this the inevitable result of feminism and leftism?

Leftism?

As with the French, who cannot talk about anything with physical aspects until they have assigned gender to it, male or female, the wingnut American cannot talk about anything with political aspects until they have assigned chirality to it - left or right.

So coffee with cream and sugar is R, a latte is L, chiropractic adjustment is R, massage is L, stretching out is R, yoga is L, etc.

The fact that yoga is an L thing means that what happened there was not a naive child of capitalist wealth attempting entrepreneurship with no sense, quitting their liberal arts degree lawyer career to start a small capitalistic business and being undermined by inexperience, government regulation, their natural charity (charity is an R thing), and taxes. No, it was socialism somehow, a doughheaded lefty trying to have money rain on them from some community storehouse without earning it or providing value to anyone.

Because the inevitable result of socialism is capitalist entrepreneurs starting small private businesses and failing at them due to lack of business skills or common sense. Apparently.

I would think a lawyer specializing in corporate law would be better prepared for a private venture. Research and a business plan would have been a good start. It sounds as though she jumped into a dream occupation without serious consideration about its practicality. I would like to be an artist, but I enjoy eating.

 

Two things:

(1) Failed business venture by a woman.

(2) Capitalist decision fails, blame socialism.​

There are some people in the world for whom a woman can never be good enough to warrant basic human respect.

And there are some people in this world for whom reality can never be good enough to warrant basic respect.

And when those two factors collide, we get shit-stupid results. You know. Like this thread.

Sometimes I'm less inclined to worry about a particular detail in the political argument, owing to the proposition that it might be more important to understand the potential mental illness driving it. You know. Kind of like this thread.

 

Socialism in US seems to work quite well for the industrial military complex Ike warned about in his final presidential address. It has delivered a defense budget larger the the total of the 16 next biggest national spenders on defense. It is personal, instead of corporate benefits, that get bad press in the US. - All those "welfare moms" cranking out more dependents on Uncle Sam, etc.

 

I'm not a fan of Howard Stern, but I think he could have made much more honest, intelligent commentary than whoever that creep was. (video)

 

Hmm. For another example of what socialism can do for you, Joanne Rowling (another young empowered leftist) quit her job, went on welfare, lived in poverty and decided to pursue her dream of writing fantasy books. Her first editor told her to give it up and get a day job; he thought that she, as a single mother, should be more responsible. You may know this "welfare mom" by her pen name - J K Rowling.

Another inevitable result of socialism.

 

I though Yoga was pretty huge right now, maybe she didn't do any market research?

 

Yes that is quite a different outcome than the other young lady who quit here high paying job.

I don't know if it is still popular expression, but years ago I said:
"That's just the way the cookie crumbled."

 

Erm… yes? Or was that supposed to be a rhetorical question?

Not going to bother listening to the dumbass in the video (text is the preferred form of argumentation on internet fora), so could you please kindly explain the thought processes which led you to this quite sane and reasonable extrapolation?

 

I think the term springs from the radical right. They probably think it sounds cool. You know that leftist socialist commie. Lucifer to fundamentalist Christians.

 

It actually has a definition...

 

So why is greater equality a bad thing?

 

I don't think there is a problem with equality in general, but I don't believe you can force equality in every aspect of life. There will always be differences between people that afford advantage and disadvantage. As an example, our capitalist society is built on performance and demand. if people prefer McDonalds, they shouldn't be forced to eat at Burger King for the sake of fairness.

 

That complex is capitalistic all the way - except for the soldiers who do the actual fighting, of course, and increasingly even them.

 

When I joined the military, I was given a financial bonus plus educational incentives.

 

"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist."
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Eisenhower was worried about the costs of an arms race with the Soviet Union, and the resources it would take from other areas — such as building hospitals and schools.

Eisenhower also spoke as someone who had seen the horror and lingering sadness of war, saying that "we must learn how to compose differences not with arms, but with intellect and decent purpose."

"Until the latest of our world conflicts, the United States had no armaments industry. American makers of ploughshares could, with time and as required, make swords as well. But we can no longer risk emergency improvisation of national defense; we have been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions."

ok, all that was over 50 years ago
Now, we are trillions of dollars in debt, have crumbling infrastructure, and people paying off college loans 30 years after graduation.

Did we learn anything?
