Kevin Lee tweets “BERNIE SANDERS YOU BASTARDS” after KO victory

[Mr Fahrenheit]

Dear lord, what is the matter with you? Take for instance Mcdonalds, who keeps this company afloat, who cleans the floors, serves food to the people, put up with all the agro? Yes those low paid workers, who collectively are responsible for earning the billions for the most selfish and inhumane people in the world.
You have heard the term, over 90% of the worlds wealth is owned by just about 1% of the population. It's time that changed. And Bernie I believe will definitely do something about this injustice to humanity.

I see this kind of statement a lot: “the workers are the ones producing all that money but the owners are the ones who (unjustly) get to keep it.”

If that’s true then there is an incredibly simple solution — just cut out those owners and do it yourself.

Sometimes I get the sense that people have no idea whatsoever what goes into creating a successful enterprise. I don’t say any of this to disparage workers (hell virtually all of have been and still are workers ourselves), who work hard. But this isn’t the Middle Ages. Wealthy people by and large aren’t just morons who happen to own the fields that the peasants have no choice to but to farm.

Communism is 300 000 years old and capitalism is how old, 500 years old? 1000 years old? Communism would tell capitalism "sit down, son, while men are talking"

“Disease is 300,000 years old and vaccines are how old, 500 years old?”

Terrible, terrible take. I also don’t think communism vs capitalism is an apples to apples comparison. Communism is a political system imposed on people. Capitalism is a description of the ways in which individual actors interact when left alone, free from such systems. What you describe from 300,000 years ago really wasn’t Communism — the people in those small tribes interacted with one another reciprocally by free choice (at least in the theoretical world you reference—in reality I doubt it took long for tyrants to emerge). It tools thousands of years to produce enough excess for anyone to actually accumulate it (unevenly or otherwise) though, which made everything a lot easier from a “haves and have nots” point of view.

 

[Skitzo]

Highly doubt the majority of Americans are smarter than Kevin Lee.

While there are definitely stupid people on both sides, Majority of Americans (both Democrat and Republicans) don’t support socialism, therefore making them smarter than Kevin Lee. Anyone who knows world history, would undoubtedly agree. Kevin should learn about what he’s supporting before he advocates for it.

Well, you deliberately pick the most polar examples.
Nature doesn't need either capitalism or communism.
Society does need these concepts.
But in your example it actually is the opposite.
Society needs vaccines because I can safely assume that 99.99% of population would like to be healthy to a certain degree and alive.
It's nature, who creates life forms, some of which are a bit harmful for us in certain ways. While opinons on communism or capitalism are split, vaccines would win the popularity contest in your example for most of the population, because 99% would want to live / see their children healthy / alive. Even ancient people who knew nothing of vaccines, would still gladly accept the result of vaccines - being alive and having their families being alive. They wouldn't belive you that they worked, but they would accept the positive outcome 100%. Proof that people usually want to survive is easily found during any disasters, wars, crime activity. Try gently touching and ant with a tip of your finger and it will run away like a motherfucker. He wants to survive as much as you or me.

Plenty of things are old - walking barefoot , sex, wheel , you get the idea. Communism and capitalism despite their differences are much closer than your examples, because in case of communism and capitalism both at least attempt to solve some issues for humanity and provide some degree of comfort.

Man his jaw went halfway round his fucking head. Brutal

 

[Jarvan]

Kevin Lee’s brutal KO finish of Gillespie.

It's a big deal that an underdog from Detroit destroyed a 13-0 undefeated Trump supporter with Trump in attendance and that night felt "BERNIE SANDERS YOU BASTARDS" was the most poignant remark he could make.

Discuss.

To those supporting Bernie and that AOC jester, do ya'll really wanna pay 40 - 70% tax?
100% tax on vehicles like scandinavian countries?

Just so you can get free healthcare?

Why not just getting fat and sick?

TRUMP 2020

 

[Jarvan]

With that said, I became a fan of Kevin Lee, then quickly reverted because I realized how irrational/ignorant he is for supporting Bernie.

 

[ThickRichardRick]

Looking forward to the day you get guillotined, you weak, effeminate man.

In the meantime, shut the fuck up and get out of my thread.

Its not your thread, that proves his propertist point, but hes an asshole regardless. I bet you he rents anyway.

 

[ThickRichardRick]

You are poor and weak. You are beneath contempt and unworthy of debate. Debate is among landowners only.

Youre fat and bald arent you.

 

[Negator402]

Youre fat and bald arent you.

I hate poor people. I am sure you are an expensive hobby to your parents though!

I was just busting your balls. My only point in that respect was that old doesn’t necessarily equal better new doesn’t necessarily equal worse (or vice versa).

I still take issue with the characterization that communism and capitalism are things that societies try. State control of the means of production must be imposed on people. If two people live on an island, and I catch fish and you pick mangos, and every evening we decide to trade one mango for one fish......we are engaged in capitalism. Even if we “choose to share equally” it’s still capitalism, because we are making value judgements about how to utilize our time and resources, rather than having those judgements prescribed to us by some authority.

I would argue that capitalism is just a de facto state of being — it just describes the voluntary exchanges and interactions that take place among individuals — and then every society in the world implements some amount of centralizing bullshit to interfere with those exchanges and interactions. So every system everywhere is a hybrid between capitalism (what goes down when people are left alone) and various amounts of government fuckery.

This isn’t to say I’m an anarchist or anything. I just disagree with the way many people think about capitalism, which goes something like, “something something rich people and the almightily dollar.”

Yeah, go ahead and tell all those protesters getting beaten up and shot at in Hong Kong to "sit down and shut up" since they're protesting Communism.

Even good things can be used in bad ways. You can have communism without slavery, secret facilties for ''reeducation." and other travesties. But you are right. Very bad things are following communism around like plague. Maybe future generations will be able to make more ethical and socially responsible

 

[Hirashin]

Bernie said there should be no billionaires in this world.
I vote for Bernie!

Or just not practice communism at all because in all modern practices of it, it ends in dictatorship or worse.

He used to say "Millionaires and Billionaires are bad."

Now that he himself is a Millionaire, he now just says "Billionaires are bad."

That's what normal thinking people call "full of shit"

 

[tatanos]

Ill try and explain the best i can.

1.i actually prefer the UK system which has a medicare for all, but you opt for a private one instead, which pushes the competitive to have competitive prices. In Canada your forced to have medicare and have to pay extra for private.

The UK has the NHS, which the healthcare system in Canada is modeled after. Both countries perform astronomically better than the United States in every category when it comes to healthcare outcomes.

2.Im not fan on Liberals, or Conservatives, in fact i find the Canadian election process a complete joke, no one even knows who they are voting for

Neither am I, both field corporate candidates and turn politics into meaningless metropolitan cultural issues and obfuscate class struggle between the rich and the poor.

3.Sorry i mean stocks, American stocks shot up because Trump brought back investments into the US economy which is the reason the stock market has done so well under the president.

The stock market isn't a definite indicator of how well working class people are doing, nor even the fortunes of the middle class. We're dealing with record levels of inequality and a stock market that is propped up by the mother of all speculative bubbles. We should all be worried about the impending recession that is sure to hit, either at the end of this year, or in the next.

4. The cuts affected 10's of thousands of recipients, no where close to the 4 million families who got off them, and a very small % of the 40 million Americans on it. Again its positions like this where you cant give credit where its due. Every aspect if the economy is doing better.

You're going to have to show evidence of this to back up your claim, as I have done. Otherwise I can only assume you are talking out your ass. If millions of Americans are getting off food stamps, why do 4 in 5 (78%) of US workers live paycheck to paycheck, and are a single emergency away from being trapped in debt?

Your just repeating idiotic fear mongering from mainsteeam media that has you worried because the government isnt taking all the rich peoples money, and now you wont have money for the poor.

Socialism is a cancer to society.

To be honest, I don't care about taxing the dying middle class, and especially not the poor. I am against it, especially carbon taxes. What concerns me is the wealth the rich have been stealing from the people; the billions of dollars spent to bail out banks in 2008 after their disastrous speculative practices (which they're still doing today) and is worse than any socialism you can tell me about. Call me a socialist or communist for building better roads, hospitals, and schools, but we also strongly desire to get as many people off welfare as we can. The key is to invest in people, not oligarchs.

 

[DivineMind]

Bernie is actually not advocating full on socialism, though he is a socialist. This means no radical restructuring of society. Almost all his proposed policies (Medicare for all, cancelling student debt, raising taxes on the 1%) aren't new ideas and poll well in terms of public support. Why ? Because there is a massive wealth inequality problem! So much so, that even billionaires agree they should probably pay more in taxes to fix it (though they're against the other stuff, predictably).

All you fools in this thread with more anti-redistributive beliefs than the billionaires themselves kill me. The funniest part? You're probably mostly working 9-5s with very little in savings, comparatively. Certainly not enough to live off of. That's brainwashing in action, folks.

 

[LastBlood]

I was on the fence with Kevin. He had a great last fight, but anyone who supports socialism isn’t to be taken seriously. If he supports Bernie, he’s advocating for the destruction of America whether he knows it or not. Glad Majority of Americans are smarter than Kevin Lee.

you are definetely smarter than these dumb shit leftists here on sherdog.
