Losing without dignity, having no dignity what so ever, and attempting to get nearly half the country to cry like babies and also to lose without dignity?
That's true unification. True leadership.
How so?
Feel free (I dare you) to watch this whole thing, but the first 15 minutes or so describe this thread to a tee, Scratch.
"Bonobo Politics"
Great pro-tea party video bro. AngryGerbil = anti-marxist? That video told me I learned my "marxism" in my tiny rural Texas hometown independent school district. Good one. Here's a hint of what actually put me in the "marxist" camp.

Tea party are conservatives, not libertarians. They tend to be neo-platonist mystics, not aristotelian objectivists.
And what does Marxism have to do with environmentalism? Can you draw that line for me?
Sure. I'd like to see government takeover/nationalization the oil and energy companies. They are incompetent to clean up their messes and destruction. As deepwater horizon showed us they even cover up and lie about the extent of their disasters. Drilling tech efficiency has increased 1000% in 50 years and clean up tech has improved 0%. They are too rich not to influence their regulatory bodies rendering them useless.
Same with water. The waters should be owned by the peoples body, not private companies selling it off during a devastating drought, so I'd nationalize the water companies.
Wow.
Yeah that's just plain ole Marixism 101. I thought maybe you had some new spin on it or something.
So I assume you are an egalitarian altruist?
What is 'the people's body' and who speaks for it? By what mechanism do we determine what is best for the 'people's body'?
The great uniter!
I would say egalitarianism and altruism are noble virtues. That is equality and selflessness. I would not say I live up to those principals. I believe every citizen should be treated equally under the law. However I do not personally believe all people are created equal, or that all cultures are equal, or that all religions or ideologies are equal. In fact I abhor false equivalencies.
The people's body is of course supposed to be the government. As Lincoln famously said, "Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth."
Like most people I don't believe we actually have a government by and for the people. The majority of our modern representatives are bought and sold by corporate or oligarchic interests, or in the case of our new executive, foreign interests.
Here in Texas the mechanism by which we determine what is best for the peoples body is by electing the stupidest yet most religious people we can find to deliberate such matters. These noted anti-intellectuals include Louis Gohmert, George W Bush, Ted Cruz, and Rick Perry. I would prefer to see the opposite.
Rather than the zombie hoards of under-educated drunk and ignorant christians electing representatives I'd prefer to see the opposite, a technocracy (Technocracy is an organizational structure or system of governance where decision-makers are selected on the basis of technological knowledge) or a meritocracy.
