    Default 10 Political Philosophy Questions for Deprave - Answered

    10 Political Philosophy Questions for Deprave, answered in one place for everyone. Please feel free to answer them yourself and also leave comments. Thank You.


    1. Do you think that there should be a tax increase for American's making over $250,000 a year?


    Not unless they are government employees, at which point they should be taxed at a rate of 100%.

    2. Do you think there should be a tax increase for the upper class?


    Violence is never the answer, no amount will solve our social problems no matter who the target is. No I don't think anyone should be taxed, certainly not differently from other people.

    3. Do you think that there should be more government transparency?

    Yes of course but they will not have it that way, never have, and never will..This "government transparency" is something completely fictional.

    4. Do you think that 9/11 was an "inside job" or that we are to blame.


    Indirectly certainly, perhaps our government, but not our people or the victims who largely understand again that violence is not the answer.(at least I hope) As far as directly, I am not sure its necessary to even go there, its not at all necessary to go into minor details. I think its likely someone conspired it and further likely that they work for a government since all governments are not made up of ethical people generally. Regardless I blame all immoral and irrational governments for being either directly or indirectly responsible and for thinking violence is the answer, essentially yes..I blame the mafias.

    5. Because you don't believe that the wealthiest should be taxed more, does that mean that you believe that corporations are people or in "trickle down" economic theory?


    Of course not, while these could be connected and they tend to be within corrupt republican rhetoric, with me as with many other they are not. I don't think anyone really deep down believes that Pfizer or Monsanto is a person or that they deserve free speech. This is part of the way they divide us, both the Democrats and Republicans into thinking there is these two factions when there really isn't. Glenn Beck and Rush maybe two of the exceptions.

    6. If you had one suggestion to solve the current economic conditions what would it be?


    Politicians need to put their guns down.

    7.Who would you like to see win the 2012 presidential race?

    The majority of the people I.E No politicians. I was rooting for Dr Paul because I felt this would be the people winning and it still would be. because of the simple fact that he shared many of our views although some views some couldn't subscribe to especially the religious.... but as a Radical and a Revolutionary I feel he has failed by pandering to the center trying to get inside. I do have my other qualms, but the main thing I feel is that radicals and revolutionaries do not speak this language called "compromise" which Rand recently firmly illustrated as the language that would be used with this campaign, I knew this all along and I felt maybe it could work but we see there is no place for radicals and revolutionaries among the authoritarians, the corruption runs too deep. I will cast my vote for Gary Johnson because I feel he is the best to represent the people against the authoritarians but I still feel he is just another politician.

    8. What do you think about Koney 2012?

    Its a scam.

    9 What about treyvon martin?

    Another scam.

    10. And what do you think about global warming?

    I think global warming is scientifically factual but I think that politicians try to use this to take our money as usual, so yes I think global warming is essentially a scam although I am well aware there is some scientific evidence that merrits its existence, I do not believe giving money to Al Gore is a good way to alleviate Global Warming.

    deprave, what do you think might occur if instead of being enticed and brainwashed by the importance of politics, and the delusions of freedom and self gratification belonging to a particular political ideology brings to those entranced by such ideologies

    what if folk decided in their masses not to endorse or empower any mainstream political movement by declining to vote
    when voting day comes round just stay at home and have a nice relaxing shit or something productive like that

    without a mandate to control the population via the electoral process what would happen ?
    i have no idea what would happen, i know it has never happened before, in recent history or my life time

    perhaps a change would be good

    it does seem logical that not voting would send the strongest message possible under this system of democracy (demoncrazy) lol
    it is basically saying none of you are any good you better shape up
    instead of thinking all of the political parties are pretty bad but still choosing the least damaging or the guy they think will save them a little on tax
    because folk feel obliged to take part in the system

    peace

    It does seem that way but no I don't think this would work. Even with a mass demonstration unfortunately, and regardless their fake votes would still be counted. You are overlooking the fact that more than 80% already demonstrate this for years but it has been in vain. I think that a strong third party would serve this purpose best as far as not voting vs voting third party. Their media will always tell the story as they want it to be told. Those who control the past, control the future, those who control the present control the past. With many voting third party a lot of their corruption would be exposed, like it or not, it would happen naturally, even should they control the media, in this time we have our free press - "The Internet".

    Hello,

    Violence is never the answer unless maybe its a counter to violence(defense) then perhaps yes, please indulge us. The scam about the travyon martin case is the fact that they are talking about it and making it to divide us, first and foremost people are murdered everyday or worse and they don't spend 20 seconds on it, much more gruesome events take place every single day. Secondly, the fact that politicians are even commenting on this is further indication that it is a scam.

    General Rule of thumb, if the mainstream media is talking about something a lot, you can bet your ass its some kind of scam. Corporate media is out for ratings and to make money, they are basically trolling us.

    General Rule of thumb, when politicians move their lips, you can bet your ass its some kind of scam. Politicians are out to get re-elected, in order to do that, they need to make money, they are basically trolling us.

    I will just name a few..Libya revolts..The American revolution..world war I and II..Ever been to county jail or prison? You better get violent or be content with being a punk..My brother in law was getting out of hand and smacking my sis around, beat that dudes ass good, knocked 3 teeth out..no problems since..You can prtest and complain all day long but for the most part things do not change until people get violent, sad but true...and I do not think the martin case is splitting the country at all..I would guess 75% think Zimm is a douche bag that needs to be convicted.

    funny as hell you start out with Libiya,,,but yes these are all self-defense really...cept parts of world war I when violence wasn't nessecary to resolve things.....point being...Violence is never the answer as its not really what solved these things necessarily and a lot changes without violence.

    I don't know the in depth details of the Martin because I don't care enough to follow anything such as this were the media talks about it non-stop, I realize people are just being trolled. It is something the media repeats day in and day out so its obviously a scam to make money. Innocent people get killed constantly, probably thousands of them since this happened in this country alone, they don't even give one a nod and they talk about this all day because its controversial and it gets them ratings, what makes something controversial? When it DIVIDES PEOPLE. Therefore Dividing us makes them money. What makes politicians money?!?!? DING DING YOU GOT IT! DIVIDING US!

    Agreed that the media and ALL politicians are scumbags, what makes the martin case different is that "stand your ground" law...and that police rarely react like this Martin case..martins daddy gets the police chief and the D.A. to meet in the middle of night..they both step down weeks later and one is ultimately fired. The 911 calls ...Race is a great way to distract the average joe from the facts...look at the gays marrying and abortion bills ..they are nothing but a smokescreen to distract people from real issues.
