For those who think logically it makes no sense to ban NG, yet this is where the donations and crooked payoffs come in. This is a good example how these criminals get rich.

“It has always made me wonder how in the F do they think they really need to control things like this.“

Interesting question. I say interesting because I had the same question a long time ago about CO2 in it led to many revelations. Fundamentally, my journey led me to one inescapable conclusion. Socialists, by nature, are authoritarian in all of their forms. Democratic Socialists, Communists, nationalist socialists, ect., all believe that the are just a few control points away from their happiness and societal utopia. The items seem small at first, then as their power grows the need to fix things causes them logically to take over everything. Then in the ridiculousness of the past decisions, they double down, and eventually result in force to maintain control. Sometimes they are smart enough to use violence against neighboring nations to buy some time by fooling the people, but eventually the system collapses.

The really strange thing is, that most of the socialists are complete failures in the real world, and are so embittered that they can’t find happiness! Greed seems to be an overwhelming trait of the socialists leaders. Historically, they see no reason to support a society that ‘failed them’, will take power and wealth, and redistribute to themselves. Like I mentioned, it still brings no happiness and certainly no utopia, but they bask in power and control.

So yes, I believe that these people, just like those who display TDS, maybe suffering from mental illness. The vocalization of socialism 120 years ago, not knowing how it turns out, might not have been. My parents used to say that doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different outcome, was the hallmark of insanity. How many more Hitlers, Stalins and Mao’s must the world suffer?
