According to some whackadoodles, I am a cancer upon society--because I am a progressive. I believe in a progressive income tax and the social safety net. I believe government can do good things for folks (that it can do bad things is also obvious

If that's the case you're making for progressivism then I'm moving to monarchism. Long live the King/Queen/Pharaoh/whatev's!

im not making a case for anything in this post. i am declaring where im at and trying to gauge where others are at.

O hai! I'm Kia. I like apple pie. I stand on the extreme on the liking pie scale.

You should've made it like a poll. We haven't had one of those "I'm X, what are you?" kinda poll for ages.

i considered throwing a poll in the post. meh. i haven't had my breakfast yet (despite it being 5pm)

and pie sucks. cake is where it's at.

Workers of the world UNITE!

Why the hell not, it sure pissed off the commies when Poland did it.

imma go ahead and make use of the scottsman fallacy:

no true communists were upset when workers united

Uncle Joe Say:

On the contrary, the USSR was the worker's paradise. Workers could not rise in the worker's paradise, there was no war in Ba Sing Se-no dissension against the glorious proletarian revolution, merely capitalist propaganda.

don't care who what where or when.
bottom line logic:

IF you are a communist
THEN you want workers to unite

IF you do not want workers to unite
THEN you are not a communist

Of course there's class warfare going on. I'm on whichever side is getting fucked the most at the moment, whether it be financially or legally. At the moment, it's the middle and poor classes (the workers).

I thought this was a joke at first (read it as something more like: Of course there's class warfare going on. Whichever side of the class divide I'm on is the one getting fucked the most.)

[soliloquy76]

Ha! No, no joke. I'm for balance in all things, or as close to that as possible.

[a_new_machine]

Ah yes, True Neutral. So when the proletariat looks about to succeed, you'll turn on them, right? :p

[enders_shadow]

You don't seem to be willing to take a stance.
Is class warfare currently going on in the USA?

[enders_shadow]

see, now this is fascinatingly hard for me to fathom

the painfully clear levels of class warfare going on make me wonder if you live under a rock or wear a very special pair of glasses

and yes, i realize i am currently not providing you with examples of class warfare, but those will come with time. again, this post is more of an exploratory nature than of an explanatory nature
