Imo, religion having any correlation with being a bit more right wing is a historical coincidence, right wing economics was in the 18th and 19th century often tied to less religious people.

They wave nazi flags, they goosestep like Nazis, they believe in fascism like nazis.

Of course there are still people who believe in Nazi ideology, but if they believe this: “American Nazies want more slaves. Minorities need to have more babies… as long as they stay poor and uneducated.” then they very likely aren’t that

Not sure why you’re defending the honor of Nazis (or maybe you’re defending non-nazi white supremacists

Saying a term is inaccurate isn’t defending them, you know that, and to suggest it is disingenuous.

Eg. I don’t like pedophiles or serial killers, but calling a one the other is simply inaccurate.

The quoted portion, from my perspective added nothing, but I might of misinterpreted it, so please explain

Racists, neo-nazis, white nationalists, it depends what they are. Nazi ideology was not just racism, it was inherently tied to a form of economic corporatism.

I mean, feel free to check my own comments if you want

Its who I thought of, because its (at least for Friedman, not Ayn Rand) who I align with more(somewhat) on the right. I am an agnostic and pretty right-wing(by my own definition)

… Yes for average Americans, yes. Again, I’m talking about FDR and other political leaders

to quote an old reddit comment:

There is no doubt that the US was going to enter the war before Pearl Harbor. Not only was American aid to the Allies massive (and increasing month by month), but the U.S. was already effectively at war with Germany - by mid-1941 American ships were escorting British convoys with orders to shoot German ships/aircraft on sight. There’s a reason Hitler declared war on the US when he had no obligation to. Germany and the US were already in direct conflict.

More to the point, collaborative war planning had been going on long before Pearl Harbor. [The ABC-1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S.–British_Staff_Conference_(ABC–1\)) Conference for example outlined the broad strokes of Allied strategy for the rest of the war.

There is no reasonable scenario where the US would not have entered the war.

Eh, FDR and other US politicians wanted to enter the war for various reasons, including the oppression of Jews, the attack on Pearl Harbor was a convenient spark for them. (Not saying they plotted it or anything, just they desired to join the war before that, and it gave them a reason to convince the more (largely) pacifism minded public

which likely contributed to his suicide.

remember, it is still unknown if it was actually a suicide at all

Don’t say Nazism when you mean: racism, authoritarianism, totalitarianism, discrimination, etc. They are often overlapping, and components of each other, but not the same thing

You suggested it as if from my interpretation it was a problem with Uber. If not, what is? And again, how’s it any more theft than CDs stealing from record manufacturers

Or maybe it’s just who I thought of? I think it’s fair to even say Trump is effectively agnostic even if he wouldn’t admit it

oh interesting, I’ve never heard of running shorts with built-in underwear

But, tbh, that’s just some guys opinion

That sounds like a joke from the doctor that the patient missed

Movie star isn’t supposed to be a dream job that makes you fabulously rich, but a decent living.

I mean, supposed to according to who?

From Wikipedia on Vincent Van Gogh: Van Gogh’s work began to attract critical artistic attention in the last year of his life. After his death, Van Gogh’s art and life story captured public imagination as an emblem of misunderstood genius

I don’t really understand how this follows from what I said.

For every $1 spent on the moonshots, we got $14. Feel free to look for other investments, but big science really has proven itself.

Do you have a source for that? (And what that claim actually means), afterall, plenty of “essential” inventions in the modern day(including the base of modern rocketry) came from weapons development- does that make war a good investment? (Of course its not 1-to-1 because war is destructive, but my point is putting a lot of effort and smart people into almost anything will lead to a lot of innovation)

this seems to say 27% of non-religious people lean republican Not exactly as rare as albinos
