    I was just going to post this.
    Yup. Brainwashing almost complete.
    The dilemma continues

    Michael Moore is trying to stay relevant after his "snipers are cowards" comment when American Sniper was released. According to him the situation in Flint is an attempt at genocide, and the best thing that we can do for the people there is stop sending them water...

    (same Twitter handle as the sniper comments, so sadly it is not a parody account)

    Michael Moore: Stop sending bottled water to Flint - 13 WTHR Indianapolis

    So for those of you attempting to follow the logic;
    - years of Democrat mismanagement are the fault of the current Republican governor
    - this is an attempt at genocide because the majority of Flint residents are People of Colour
    - so the best thing that we can do to help them is to exploit their suffering for political gain, all while offering no interim relief

    More gold from Moore:

    Pretty sure he owes that "selfishness" for his wealth.

    Yeah. Okay. No. Neither Capitalism nor socialism are "selfishness". Those are economic systems. It's people that are selfish, or better said, "self interested" and their natures will not change just because you take stuff away from the people who earn them and give to the people who didn't.

    In capitalism self interest motivates some to conspire to limit choice such that they can suck without having to experience the natural consequences of sucking. That seems like a fairly easy problem to solve.

    In socialism self interest motivates people to be takers rather than givers. That can be fixed in a couple of ways. The government can impose quotas to force people to produce some minimum. Or, enough capitalism can be added to appeal to people's self interest, enough to get up off their asses and do things for themselves.

    The "fairest" way is self determination. You can't have that with socialism. It comes naturally with capitalism.

    I'm tired of people saying that me wanting MY money is selfish. If they want socialism, then FRIGGIN MOVE. Their are no guards on the border keeping them here. They can leave when they want.

    I had to stop posting in FB about a discussion where people wanted us to "get with the rest of the world" and go to a "single payer healthcare" system.
