idk iam bored
This would take waaay too much energy. Just another way to be ignored.

lol or why not just invite them to take a look at mises.org and the articles here? Just show people the way instead of throwing things in their face. They'll come to their own conclusions and this way some people will change their minds. Taking a group to go down there and argue they'll naturally feel a need to resist because they feel like their very lives and who they are is being threatened to the core. Just be a messenger- don't try to lord over them.
This is what happens.

So.. no, it'd be a waste of time.
I read through most of the thread. You basically got banned for not fitting into their worldview.
To paraphrase Marc Faber: We're all doomed, but that doesn't mean that we can't make money in the process. Rabbi Lapin: "Let's make bricks!" Stephan Kinsella: "Say you and I both want to make a German chocolate cake."

Dear God, that was horrific. Those people didn't even want to argue with you based on any kind of reason. They just made assertions and said you're full of shit. :(
They just kept telling you to GTFO. I guess some people just want to sit around circle-jerking their egos. Its lame how people try to pin you. You're not democrat, so you're republican? You're not republican so you support ron paul? Its just trying to pidgeonhole you, to put a stereotype over you so they can apply all these pre conceived notions to you. When people ask me if I support ron paul, I say "no. Ron Paul supports me"
I hate it when that happens.

I don't understand why anyone takes democracy seriously anymore.
Some people's beliefs simply can't be changed. You're up against a religion, not ones with any sort of rationality. I picked this up from commondreams.org board:
"The US is a predatory Capitalist warfare state. The US is Communism for the rich, Capitalism for the poor..."
I like the fact that the website asks for donations to help their "cause".

"Conza is probably the GOAT troller."
Excuse me?
GOAT... troller?
"Excuse me?"
Trolling isn't always a pejorative, enciting rage/strong emotional responses due to cognitive dissonance or getting owned in debate is quite comical for the rest of us (note the LOL responses on this very thread), I mean a place like DemocraticUnderground isn't exactly a hotbed of intellectual discourse, so seeing the logic posed by it's members in response to your posts is rather entertaining.
I was just noting I am appreciative of your talent in doing so.

This reminds me of the new thread I just made, Marx or Keynes. What's less rational and arrogant, revolution left or democratic underground?
Freedom has always been the only route to progress.
Some of revleft bothers to actually look into theory, even if they are horribly wrong/misguided.
I don't believe anyone on DU has ever read anything relating to economics or philosophy.
But leftrev is... Leftrev.... It's like the 4chan of political theory.... I'd never heard of Democracy Underground before this thread happened.... But I've had pleanty of interactions with the people from leftrev
