If Somalia = Conk paradise does North Korea = Donk paradise

[UNI88]

Just a simple question ...

If Somalia is an example of a Conk paradise with no government intervention in our lives, is North Korea the mirror image? A Donk paradise where the government feeds, clothes and protects its citizens.

The problem with these hyperbolic statements (i.e. that the ideal Conk or Libertarian society is Somalia) is that there is almost always a reciprocal argument going the other direction.

No. North Korea doesn't feed it's citizens. It's a conk paradise too.

It must be nice to live in a utopia where your side is always right and the other is always wrong. Where you can ignore the reality that overly generous government entitlement programs lead to situations like those in Greece, Spain, Illinois, etc. You live in Madiganistan, you can see what happens when the Donks control the executive and legislative branch. The state is on edge of the financial cliff and you can't blame it on the Conks, not that some Conks weren't willing participants but the Donks have been and are in the driver's seat and can't seem to take their foot off of the gas.

It's more complicated than blaming it on either party. You're oversimplifying here.

Madiganistan.

Dude, Chicago is 400 miles from here and Madigan couldn't find it on a map.

And we got conk governors in jail too.

Yeah, just like those old free market Conk paradises in the Soviet Union and Communist China.

I know that both parties share in the blame, I just get a little tired of those who think their side is right and the other side is wrong and there is no middle ground. They're drinking a slow acting Jim Jones kool-aid and won't realize it until it's too late.

And anyone who really believes that Conk policies lead to misery like Somalia, North Korea, etc. and that Donk policies lead to some sort of never attained nirvana is living in a fantasy land and needs to wake up. The policies of either party, if unchecked, would result in a long-term negative for this country.

Thanks for sharing, bro.
