Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Sunday, September 20, 2026

A couple things that capitalism gives you that socialism and collectivism doesnt: Privacy and individualism. Capitalism guards these things. You cant have them in a progressive ideology. The left MUST know who is rich and who isnt. They have to know where to aim their hate. They have to know where and who to physically TAKE things from to give away. That's how socialist democracies work. The exact thing our Constitutional Republic was made to avoid and is morally against. Take from those who produce and give to those who dont. But also, it gives the leftist something to make it look like they are morally correct. The capital they dont have. I truly believe some leftists want to help the poor. Problem is, they are just poor themselves and they dont have the money to do so. So they end up hurting and demonizing those very people who would and could be the ones to take care of the poor. The wealthy people they dont know.

"The left MUST know who is rich and who isnt"

I'm just interested in finding the thieves. In the same way that you people USED to be interested in catching the pedophiles.

MAGA's concept of wealth is rancid. No matter how you get the money, once you have it, it's yours. MAGA shoots dead kids who steal beer from convenience stores, but if you can manage a theft into the millions or billions that's considered fine.

There's a MAGA parallel here with rape. If the victim gets pregnant, the rapist also owns the child. Once again, no matter how you get it, it's yours.

I see where you are coming from Zed.

Finding thieves and equating "thieves" with normal law abiding Americans who amass wealth for themselves is two different things.

And your #2 doesnt make sense.

Why doesn't boaz just stay away? Why does he keep slinking back to spew his idiocy?

Trump and his family aren't those.

Agreed?

Neediness and conditioning.

Subliberal being Boaz is as likely as Fortfisher being John Stuart Mill.

It's easy to "amass wealth" when the system is rigged for you. That's called crime.

The system is for anyone to get rich if they apply themselves.

You are just poor because you are an idiot.

This is the most naive thing I've ever read here.

People born into poverty generally stay there, at no fault of their own.

Hang around for a while.

I bet he will do you one even better in a minute or two.

I'm never one to diminish the use and need of personal initiative.

But this statement is so, so wrong by personal observation.

I'll wait to call you an idiot until you tell me how much money you've got.
